  • The Beast of Gévaudan: How a Name Outlived the Hunt

    The Beast of Gévaudan: How a Name Outlived the Hunt
    Oct 19 2026
    From 1764 to 1767, deadly attacks in the Gévaudan drew frightened villages, royal hunters and an expanding newspaper audience into one story about a Beast. We follow the parish record for Jeanne Boulet, the two hunts often treated as endings, and what the surviving sources can and cannot tell us about the animals involved. Based on regional records and Jay M. Smith's historical study; later legend is kept separate from the documented attacks.

  • Spring-Heeled Jack: The Name That Outran the Witnesses

    Spring-Heeled Jack: The Name That Outran the Witnesses
    Oct 12 2026
    A gate near Bow, a candle, and an assault reported to a London magistrate gave Spring-Heeled Jack one of his strongest historical traces. But the leaping monster grew from earlier rumours, later sightings and Victorian fiction as well as identifiable testimony. Strange Latitudes follows Jane Alsop and Lucy Scales through the contemporary record, then asks how one name came to hold so many different stories. Sources include The Times, historian Karl Bell and Mike Dash's archival study.

  • The Moving Coffins of Barbados: Inside the Chase Vault Legend

    The Moving Coffins of Barbados: Inside the Chase Vault Legend
    Sep 29 2026
    At Christ Church Parish Church in Barbados, an empty vault carries a story of heavy coffins found out of place after its entrance was sealed. Strange Latitudes follows the early printed accounts, the details that changed between tellers, later attempts to test the claim, and the island history surrounding the legend. The vault is real; the reported movements lack a secure contemporary record.
