Voynich Manuscript
Discovered in 1912 by a book dealer, this rare manuscript remains an incredible mystery. No cryptographer has been able to decode it, as the book is basically illegible. The pages have been dated back to the early 15th century and contains about 116 pages, though many of them are missing. The author also remains unknown. The illustrations present in the book seem to divide it up into sections: astronomical, biological, cosmological, herbal, pharmaceutical, and possibly recipes. It seems likely the book was written to keep information secret, but what information was so important that it needed such indecipherable language to keep it secret? The reason for its secrecy, most people believe, is the books connection to alchemy. In recent years, there have been efforts to prove the book as a fraud.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark: Gammell vs Helquist
A few examples (since i can only fit 10) comparing the illustrations of Gammell and Helquist in the 30th Anniversary edition of “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”
1) Title Page
2) The Walk
3) The Haunted House
4) The Red Spot
5) Harold
I feel like the older illustrations were what made the stories even scarier.

Chaukhandi Tombs
Located: Karachi, Pakistan
These tombs, with elaborate sandstone carvings, are located in Karachi Pakistan.They were mainly built during Mughal rule sometime in the 15th and 18th centuries
They are burried South to North (which is very unusual for both the area and time period).  The tombs at Chaukhandi are renowned for being one of the most haunted sites in the region, and visitors are particularly warned against entering the graveyard at night.

Hindu nationalists are an embarrassment to the entire South Asian diaspora. Your hate for Muslims is so strong that you've decided to choke on the boot of your colonizers.

Grave Robbing for Morons
In the early 90s, most underground videos were hand shared. Usually dubbed from previously poorly dubbed VHS tapes and shared person to person. An example of this would be something like Heavy Metal Parking Lot (maybe some of you guys even remember owning this).
One of the most infamous fringe VHS tapes to make its way to people in the early 90s was called “Grave Robbing for Morons.” It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. It’s a 27 min long video which features a guy in a leather jacket giving advice on looting graves. He shows off his collection of human skulls, gives some advice on how to deal with witnesses, and gives detail on the sights and sounds of the trade.
At the tail end of the footage, the man in the video drops the nicknames of himself, the cameraman, and their grave robbing partners – “Anthony, “Gino, “Taco”, and “Pucci” – before taking credit for the rise of cemetery looting and promising that they’ll rob Houdini’s grave. Houdini’s grave did suffer a lot of vandalism and neglect during this period, but no one ever checked the magician’s grave to see if anything was missing.
The human skull in the video looks real and experts that have worked grave-robbing cases or worked with the deceased say that the looter’s descriptions in the video are spot-on. The origin of the video remains unknown and the identity of the boy in the video remains a mystery to this day.

Okay here are some facts I think everyone needs to know about Modi's relationship with the occupation of Kashmir.
-In June/July of 2019, just a few months after Modi took office for his 2nd term he sent ~10,000 soldiers into Kashmir.
-Shirtly after he suspends telecoms/internet and implements a stringent curfew. He also begins arresting political leaders and HRAs. He begins jailing journalist in the dark (no internet made that easy)
-That August he revokes article 370 and 35a which removed Kashmir's special status (which basically means they took awa their statehood and nullified their constitution) and allowed non-Kashmiris to begin purchasing land in the region.
-Under Modi, Kashmir has become the most militarized zone in the world. Not being hyperbolic here. There are some areas of Kashmir where soldiers outnumber civilians.
Basically Modi has spent the last decade turning Kashmir into an open air prison while laying the groundwork for demographic change. Indian tourism in the area has been on a MASSIVE incline. That's why you're seeing messaging from India calling Kashmir "The Switzerland of India" and why tourists were attacked.
If this all sounds familiar that's because Modi is pulling from Netanyahu's playbook. Down to framing his colonization as a security issue. There's a reason he looks up to him.
Modi is a RSS Hindu nationalist that has been heavily inspired by European fascist movements.
You should know all of these facts as you navigate a lot of disinformation that's gonna come at you.

In the small town of Ashland, Pennsylvania, Route 61 takes an unexplained detour; a “Keep Out” sign straddles the original highway. Ignore the warning and you’ll arrive in the abandoned town of Centralia, where an underground mine fire has been burning since 1962 when residents accidentally ignited a vein of anthracite coal. Despite efforts to stop the fire it still burns today and could burn for 250 years. Some houses still stand but most have been demolished. Fun Fact: Silent Hill (movie) was based off this town

Thomas Busby’s famous cursed chair, now held in the Thirsk Museum in England. According to legend, Busby supposedly strangled his father-in-law because he sat in the chair. He then put a curse on that chair that would kill anyone who sat in it. Supposedly, over 63 people who have sat in the chair died shortly after. The chair was lifted onto the wall of the museum to prevent people from potentially dying after sitting in the chair.

What are your thoughts on Sinners?
I loved it.
I went in blind and figured I'd enjoy it since Ryan Coogler was attached to it. It exceeded expectations and I loved the story telling through the various aspects ratios. It's def a movie worth seeing in theaters for that alone.
If you haven't seen it I def think you should and try to go in blind.

Seance tables
These were used before the invention of ouija boards. Spiritualists were using the “tipping table” which could come in various forms, but which was originally developed by the Fox family(Margaret and Kate Fox). Cool paranormal history lesson.

Skycycle
A human powered “roller coaster” located at Okayama Prefecture’s Brazilian Washuzan Highland Park in Japan. Unlike a traditional roller coaster, this one is slow and terrifying as opposed to fast and terrifying. 
Aside from seat-belts there isn’t much keeping you safe. It is equipped with two sets of pedals so each of the passengers can control the speed. There are multiple people riding Skycycles so its up to the riders to make sure they don’t run into each other.
HERE is a video.

Maybe if Zionists didn't act like Nazis and pull out pages straight from the Nazi handbook, they wouldn't be compared to Nazis. The parallels are many.
