Really great roundup this week! I sure do remember the Gary, Indiana 'demon house' case and watching that get questioned and debunked in real time. Slightly curious what is done with the story for the movie, but I just know it will end with me wanting the time I wasted on it back. Thanks for this newsletter...much needed respite from the rest of the feeds today.

Chautauqua (near Jamestown NY) has a fascinating history, first as a Methodist Sunday School and summer school but later evolving into a wonderful collection of arts, crafts, and oratory. The town itself is an old-fashioned beauty to behold with lovely old houses, a lake, park and quiet roads for biking or walking.

Hi Sharon. Fascinating stuff as always. A minor point: the Australian magpie, despite its intelligence, isn't a corvid. It was named for its resemblance to the Eurasian magpie, but the two aren't closely related.

D'oh! I should have checked! Thanks for the clarification. Edit made.
