In a rainy autumn afternoon a pair discuss a famed racing car built by Bryant, its driver Florent, and a sequence of fatal legends. Seldon later buys the car and meets a grim end, while Prendergast recounts a decades‑long string of accidents, hauntings, and near‑misses tied to the machine as the storm rages outside.
An observer notes some moths of the Noctuidae fly away from approach, prompting Tetens to propose a hearing organ. Deegen’s 1909 study in Zoologische Jahrbücher reveals a conspicuous, non microscopic auditory-like structure on each side of the first abdominal segment, explaining why it was often overlooked.
R A Wilkie summarizes historic white lady apparitions tied to the Hohenzollerns. The article traces widow symbolism from medieval times to Bayreuth and Plassenburg, notes Napoleon avoidance at Bayreuth, Berlin’s imperial court white lady sightings, and a final 1850 Berlin sighting before the current Kaiser’s birth.
A young woman in Naples wearing a Chanteclor hat caused a crowd to form blocking traffic and forcing police to intervene. A man dressed as a woman retrieved the hat from a shop while the mob hissed, and the wearer later went home by cab.
