I'm hoping this thread will be a catch-all (or catch most? ...some?) of weird news and links which we encounter. Things that might inspire an Unknown Armies adventure, or GURPS Illuminati...

www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/how-princess-diana-made-extraordinary-10013035Maybe I read The Invisibles when I was young and impressionable, but a friend of nobles burying their own child within a palace smells of some kind of ritual magic. Either as a means to tie the commoner family to the royal bloodline, or to ensure the safe birth of a subsequent child... OR SOMETHING DARKER?! (dun dun DUN!) With the sacrifice of an unborn child, all manner of black magic seems easily tied to this admittedly likely innocent and undeniably tragic story.

One more: www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hitler-phone-auction_us_58ab36c2e4b0f077b3ecd032 One of the urban legends that keeps getting circulated it is about ghost phone calls. People calling and then really revealing at the end that they are actually dead already, having just died in an accident. For some reason this urban legend freaks me the fuck out. When I saw that this was Adolf Hitler's phone, I immediately wondered what kind of ghost phone calls one could receive on this. I wouldn't be powered? Who would ring in?

Thanks, that's a neat slice. I'd read stuff about the guy who gets lost in the Paris Catacombs. Talk about a fantastic, real-world setting for elliptonic connections.

Ask reddit is fun for strange stories from around the world, just use the search function for the theme of what you are looking for: video/images/unexplained etc. Edit: One more good one: www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/4f3yh4/serious_what_is_the_best_unexplained_mystery/

Hey, my great great great grandfather was a space bat who immigrated to the United States and rode with Teddy Roosevelt in the Rough Riders!

For the record, I am pro-space-bats.
