If anyone has a spare £50,000 one of the most important books ever written about ghosts is on sale in Henley. Shakespeare almost certainly read it and it influenced his writing of Hamlet. This copy was last sold in the 1920's.

Statistics should be taught to children by showing the real life applications—extracting arcane knowledge from forbidden tomes. Worth a watch, if you dare…

The Octavius was an 18th-century ghost ship discovered off the coast of Greenland in 1775. Initially assumed to be empty upon being sighted, when boarded, a spine-shivering sight awaited.

Below the deck, they came across the entire crew, completely frozen. The captain sat rooted, almost stoically, at the table in front of him with a pen still in hand and his log laid out before him.

Written there was the log’s last entry, dated November 11, 1762, and its last recorded position marked their location about 250 miles north of Alaska’s arctic coast.

The ghost ship had been adrift for thirteen years before its discovery, meandering aimlessly for hundreds of miles. And the complete picture is even more chilling.
