In Watford, England, demolition workers were tearing down an old bar when they made an interesting discovery in the chimney area of the structure. This unsettling folklore surprise came in the form of a witch bottle that was filled with glass shards, fangs, and an unknown substance. It was believed that the bottle was from the 1800s. It was probably put in the bar as a witch-baiting measure. That makes sense given that the Witch of Saratoga was born on this Watford property. The Witch’s original name was Angeline Tubbs, and she moved to Saratoga, New York in 1761. There, she made a business by reading fortunes and crafting witch bottles to frighten away rivals.

Humans are concerned when dead animals wash up on the coastlines since this could indicate an issue with the water’s purity. Who knows what an enormous, eight-foot Lego man represents? A Japanese surfer spotted this possible sign of doom. The Lego man was dressed menacingly in a t-shirt with the words “No Real Than You Are” on the front. Instead of blaming extraterrestrials, it seems that a mysterious Dutch artist by the name of Ego Leonard is responsible for this enormous Lego. Believe it or not, this is far from the first time such a big Lego has washed ashore. This artist, according to his website, originates from a “virtual world.”
