--

These weird vintage news stories are so out of this world you may never recover. You'll hear about ghosts making crosses from dried pasta, a horse named Clever Hans, a dog that can speak and tell you it wants cake, an ancient turtle who's addicted to pancakes, and the single most affecting news story I've ever read: The tale of the Fried Pickle Man.  You'll also hear some spooky facts about Shadow People (sleep tight)!

Just remember: 
Take some cucumbers, when quite green
From the garden while unseen
Soak them long in salt mush
Add your spices, watch them rust
For some days, let them lie
Take them out, in slices fry
That's a dish which one sings
So it is, is fit for kings
