The Vanished Galleon and the Haunted Depths

#ArtAdventCalendar day 20: a #FolktaleWeek2024 piece. I thought I would tell another Canadian #folktale about a flaming ghost ship or strange light phenomenon which has been observed in New Brunswick in the Baie des Chaleurs. There are a few different versions of the folklore but the one I like is told in A.W.H. Eaton’s poem ‘The Phantom Light of the Baie des Chaleurs’ & I

Look who turned up on last weeks photo shoot Minky the Ghost Cat.

Today in Labor History December 2, 2016: Thirty-six people died in a fire at the Ghost Ship, a converted warehouse in Oakland, California, serving as an artist collective. At the time, the warehouse was hosting a concert. However, the warehouse was zoned for industrial purposes. Residential and entertainment uses were illegal. Of the 80 to 100 people attending the concert, 36 died, making it the deadliest fire in the history of Oakland. The authorities arrested Ghost Ship's master tenant Derick Almena and his assistant Max Harris and charged them with felony involuntary manslaughter. After a series of mistrials, Harris was acquitted. On January 22, 2021, Almena pled guilty to 36 charges of involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 12 years in prison. With time served, he was expected to be able to serve his sentence in 18 months of home confinement while wearing an ankle monitor. A building inspector, a Child Protective Services agent, six members of the fire department, and three police officers had been to the building several times, but never mentioned any violations. Building owner, Chor Ng, plead the 5th, and never served any time. PG&E eventually paid some damages, as the fire originated with faulty electrical.

Got The Return of the Obra Dinn on sale and it is a good ghost story. Ship disappears, but reappears with all hands lost. You're an investigator (seemingly) sent by the East India Company to figure out what happened. You're doing it with a book to keep track of what happens and how each person died and a stopwatch that lets you travel back to moments of death, (aptly named Momento Mori.)

Not strictly horror, but gives me the creeps all the same. It's good.

Is there a website where #homebrew #beer and #ale enthusiasts review kits? I've had great results with Festival Premium Ales (especially Razorback IPA and Bonfire Toffee Stout) but I'd like to try something different — in particular, something that comes out in the style of #Adnams #GhostShip. I'd love to see objective reviews with sortable scores etc.
