Weird Britain
According to a new study, my home city of Birmingham is the weirdest place to live in Britain, as the city’s Birmingham Mail newspaper reveals:
“With freakish weather, including a tornado and a shower of frogs and tales of alien visits, the Second City comes first place in a spotters’ guide to the country’s real twilight zones.
“Almost two-thirds of Brummies believe in the supernatural after reports of giant hailstones hitting city streets and Martians dropping in for mince pies at the Rowley Regis home of Jean Hingley in 1979.
“Dr Kenny Webster, resident scientist at Birmingham Science Museum Thinktank, said: ‘It will come as no surprise to the residents of Birmingham that we live in our own twilight zone. Birmingham has the youngest population in Europe and it is well recorded that children entering puberty report the highest number of ghostly sightings. It has even been suggested that imaginary friends might be ghosts.’
“The shower of baby frogs which occurred in Sutton Park in 1954 is one of the curious incidents mentioned in the guide, put together by Euro Disney to promote its latest attraction called The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.”
Here’s the rest of the article, which reveals more of a truly bizarre UFO- and Fortean-nature.
