Taunted as “witch spawn” on the playground, the 72-year-old granddaughter of Helen Duncan seeks an official pardon for her grandmother, Britain’s last convicted witch.

She was jailed for 9 months as a threat to National Security because officials feared the medium would leak information on their D-Day plans.

She disclosed — allegedly through contacts in the spirit world — the sinking of two British warships long before the news was officially made public.

She also told the parents of a missing sailor that his ship, HMS Barham, had sunk. That was true, but to preserve morale, the sinking was not announced.

She should absolutely be pardoned, for no crime was ever committed.

I’ve not seen this one before but this painting was based on the photograph and supposedly a string of unfortunate consequences begat those with the misfortune to possess it. Read the rest here.

Shown at left is a close-up on the area of interest from the painting. Click on it to see the entire painting. At right, the original photo of the Headless Man taken in Arizona. Click on it to visit the site, essentially it’s a double exposure with an inexplicable human-like image in it.

See the other infamous haunted painting here.

One of my favorite artists. I’d forgotten how profoundly trauma inspired his paintings. At the age of 14, he saw his mother’s body retreived from the nearby river, a suicide, her nightgown pulled over her head, obscuring her face.

Additionally, every nude female form in his work was based specifically on his own wife, never anyone else. This is obvious when you see pictures of Georgette Magritte in comparison. I only wish I had a full body shot of her, better demonstrating this.

It seems limiting, to only portray a single female form, but speaks volumes of his love for her, now immortal.

On a sidenote, if you see the movie Dellamorte Dellamore / Cemetary Man, there is a steamy scene based on “The Lovers” painting shown at top. I highly recommend it on many levels: Gnaghi (I love him!), absurdism, sensuality, surrealism, gore and humor.

Please note, I believe these are man-made. However, I marvel over the complexity of the design and how flawlessly they pull it off on such a Godzilla-sized scale, and in a single night! You never see or hear of half-finished alien crop art, unless the whole town is in on it too. *eyes town suspiciously*

Here’s the source of the images, along with some more and a hellaciously large resolution version of each. I’ve crop circles on my desktop. This pleases me.

One resembles a Journey album cover. Also note, I do not enjoy Journey’s caterwauling either. Album art just sticks with me.

I cannot wait until the new Dali museum is complete in 2010, to:

A) See more of his work in person (It IS different seeing art in person, it’s far more vivid with more detail than a print can capture!)

The new Dali museum will be more than a bunker, Mr. Hine said. And like its eponym, it will be both practical and eccentric. Preliminary designs call for a tree breaking through one exterior wall, a water fountain shooting from another and a skylight protruding from the roof like a glowing loaf of bread.

Mr. Hine said the fountain will do something surprising.

“Maybe there will be pumps that are able to spurt out water that will spell out Dali in the air,” he said. “Or it may dribble in an obscene way. We don’t know. It will definitely get people wet because it will do something unpredictable.”

… and B) to see what that fountain’s up to!

Some days I think my head might fucking explode. Seriously, it just might.

I look forward to spontaneously combusting some day, if I’m not there already.

Someone better document this shit when it happens. I love reading about cases of spontaneous human combustion.
