OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today

http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/

On this day in 1865 American president Abraham Lincoln died after being shot by John Wilkes Booth the previous day. Abraham Lincoln became interested in ‘psychic phenomena’ and spiritualism after the death of his son and one day had a vision (or perhaps saw his reflection in the mirror at an odd angle; make of it what you will) of his face being reflected twice in the mirror. The second reflection was much paler than the first and he took this as a sign that he would be elected for a second term as president but die in office. Quite why or how one would come to make such a prediction from seeing two reflections in a mirror I’m not sure, but that was what he told a journalist friend of his and it did prove to be accurate. There are also stories that Lincoln woke up once in the middle of the night and witnessed his own body lying in state and the aftermath of his assassination, and there is yet another Lincoln story that the ghostly image and sounds of the president’s funeral train can sometimes be heard.

And now, the news:

Whale watchers report large drop in sightings of grey whales
Fishing osprey caught on camera
Swarm of bees land on socks
Hellbender: It's not for dinner
Bear on a guttercam
Toads dropped from sky to help save quoll

‘Toad’-ally amazing.
