The History of Strange Phenomena. 1800 to 1900

The Nineteenth Century. The new age of science and reason after centuries of superstition. Technology is king and we are heading forwards into the modern age. Well before the Flying Saucer Age which allegedly started in 1947 we have Nineteenth Century airships of all description flying across the face of the earth with their not quite normal occupants. In the woods Bigfoot stirred in many countries, but unlike the gorilla, was rarely if ever caught. Up in the air giant unclassifiable birds swooped down and on the ground alien animals roamed. There was spontaneous combustion as well as varied falls of anything from frogs to falling icebergs and stones. Come with me on the weirdest trip through the Nineteenth Century that you will ever venture on. From 1800 and forwards onto 1900. Settle or start arguments as you wonder through this catalogue of the unusual.
