OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1912 the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people. I mentioned a few days back, on the anniversary of the ship’s departure from Southampton, about the less than true tale of the mummy’s curse but that is far from the only tale that has been invented to claim that the disaster had paranormal causes. One story holds that the Titanic’s hull number was 360604 and had been written in a sloppy manner so that when held up to a mirror it read ‘no pope.’ The fact that the real hull number of the Titanic was 401 is conveniently ignored by the originators of this myth. There is also a myth that a riveter was trapped in the hull during construction and his vengeful spirit cursed the vessel, but as that is said about almost any steel ship that has a run of bad luck, that again is probably best taken with a pinch of salt.

And now, the news:
