Blather.net’s Map of the Weird

View Larger Map
For the last two decades we’ve been keeping track of every lake monster, UFO sighting, Satanist, pornographer, ghost and ghost hunter, exorcism and exorcist, Banshee attack, ABC sighting, religious quack, police state action, alien abduction and friendly neighbourhood Kangaroo that we can commit to writing. But the truth is, there’s such an abundance of these things that keeping track of them has become somewhat problematic. Until now.
So allow us reader dear, to present ‘Blather.net’s Map of the Weird’, a first public presentation of what will become an ever-growing, all-encompassing cartographic apocalypse of filth, depravity, smut and Forteana.

Anyway, the above image only shows a snippet of the map, specifically for Ireland (our home). Below is a slightly larger section:

  1. Best of luck with this huge undertaking which I’m sure will evolve into a definitive work.

  2. AS I HAVE ALWAYS SUSPECTED WHEN
    COMPARING MY IRISH CATHOLIC ROOTS TO MY RUSSIAN JEWISH ROOTS: THE
    IRISH SIDE IS PRONE TO SEEING AND
    BELIEVING IN THAT WHICH DOES NOT, AND IN FACT COULD NOT EXIST IN A
    RATIONAL MIND.
    ALSO, I THINK YOUR MAP OF THE WEIRD
    SUPPORTS ME IN THIS.

  3. LAM, you’re way off course. The Irish can entertain improbable ideas without necessarily believing in them. Personally, I don’t believe in aliens, fairies, god, the devil etc, and I suspect that they are doubtful about my existence too.
    As for Russia. I’ve got one website for you. Pravda »

  4. LAM: It is important to remember two things.
    Sigmund Freud, himself Jewish, said that the Irish were the only “race” that could not be psychoanalysed.
    Freud’s boyhood hero was Oliver Cromwell, Old Noll himself. Freud named his son Oliver after said Cromwell.
    Do you really think rationality enters into this?

  5. I believe that only the ghost who can get a good rate on the mortgage are allowed to haunt the estates shown…the empty estates…Bank of Ireland have suggested that the spirits should keep up

  6. Marvelous!
    I’ll go start searching as fast as I downright can!
    This map reeks of brilliance and stupidity, all rolled into a ball of maddening goo and stuck to the bottom of a chair in Valhalla!
    Good Work!
    InJoy!
