Yes, Virginia, There is a Giant Squid
Eight-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon wrote the editor of the New York <i>Sun</i> in 1897 and asked whether Santa Claus was real.

Ghost Ships Blowin' in the Wind
Recently, I flipped through an encyclopedia of the bizarre and came upon a curious entry. The ship called the "Dundee Star" ran aground off Midway Island. In four years time, the abandoned ship drifted completely around the earth and came to rest in 1891 back at Midway Island, the very spot where she started her lonely journey. <i>Now, that's really bizarre,</i> I thought. <i>How many ghost ships might there be just blowin' in the wind?</i>

The Unique Serpent of Silver Lake
School children know that water occupies a greater percentage of planet earth than land does. Salt and fresh water cover 71% of earth’s surface. In 1885, a serpent was sighted in Silver Lake, NY, throwing the townspeople into panic and drawing visitors to the quiet resort community. Discovering an unknown animal in a lake is not a common experience, nor are sightings of strange aquatic animal life, but this one was very unusual. It only had a life span of two years and the last sighting was not when it was in lake, but when it was out of the water.
