Weird News: Dinosaur Skull Embedded in Church

Friday, November 12, 2010


The discovery of a dinosaur's skull embedded in an old Italian church's marble balustrade suggests many strange connotations. While in practice there's probably nothing sinister going on, even thinking about the legions of worshipers, who must have wondered about the dragon-like phantom in their temple over the centuries, leaves a chill down one's back. This discovery is a legend weaver, and not just in the conventional scientifically awesome sense. The odd intersection of Medieval atmosphere, prehistoric monster, and religion at work here aligns well with weird fiction's finer elements. Who would dare suggest the strangest hauntings are confined to the pages of ghost stories?
