As Halloween is fast approaching, and folks are getting ready to sit around campfires and strum a guitar and then maybe sing a song and then tell a "ghost story", The Duke feels compelled to present these fifteen terrifying facts regarding the paranormal.
Every one of these horrifying statements is true, some even more so than others.
1. The word "Ghost" is derived from the Latin word, Ghostingus, meaning "Ghost".
2. The first ever reported case of a haunted house, in a town in Istanbul, sometime in the 17th century, was eventually discredited when it was discovered that the "house" in question was actually a large shed.
3. Scientists believe that if all the ghosts in the world were piled on top of one another, the weight would probably be enough to burrow a hole from London to Sydney.
4. Michele LaVinsky, a world famous Medium from New York, was publicly shamed when it was discovered that the "ghost" to whom he spoke was not, in fact, a ghost, but rather LaVinsky's cousin, a carpenter by trade who once married the Princess of Scotland.
5. President Roosevelt once trained a tiny army of pixies to infiltrate the offices of the KGB. The creatures were eventually captured and forced to live up a mountain in Kenya.
6. The Loch Ness Monster is actually a "creature", and not really a "monster" at all.
7. In 1973, an experiment was carried out to determine the sulphur content of a poltergeist. It was determined that the entity had the exact same sulphur content as one and a half small potatoes.
8. Sir Ian McKellen, star of Lord Of The Rings, rose to fame when it was discovered he had an evil conjoined twin living between his shoulder-blades. The twin, Seth, had some success as a television celebrity in his own right, eventually having two children with Nancy Sinatra.
