Giant rabbits are reported in a couple parts of the USA. In Lake Bomoseen Vermont there were reports of rabbits as big as a Saint Bernard dog. In Coon Rapids Minnesota a large rabbit was seen hopping around. Jay Rath connected the Minnesotan report with phantom kangaroos

--HIS NUTS ARE HANGING OUT THE WINDOW--

Hank Williams, HIS 20 GREATEST HITS The Rolling Stones, OUT OF OUR HEADS

There are days that you dread your whole life and there are events that you hope will never come, even though you know they must. The death of Charles G. Darmstadt was one of those events. Charles was the father to my best friend, Chip. He was slightly older than my own father, but energetic, and funny as hell; his seriousness was there but, undetectable in a flurry of antic, humorous gestures, and sayings: you might have thought he wasn’t serious at all, but in all the clowning around, inappropriate jokes and goofing off, somehow the lawn wound up getting mowed. He was fun to be around. I could do yard work at his house for 4 hours and barely stand doing any chores at home.

On long car trips from Long Island to Vermont, we would ride for about 8 hours, listening to Hank Williams Greatest Hits, on an 8-track tape over and over again. The fact that it wore us out was a source of great humor to him. He took us bass fishing in Vermont, where I learned to fish with lures. I think of those trips at their almost finished cabin on the shores of Lake Bomoseen. I was lucky that they liked me, as I must have been a clumsy pain in the ass with no money. He found the humor in anything, and you learned to find it too. He was so many things my own father wasn’t. I loved my own father but most of my time spent around my father involved walking on egg-shells. No one walked on eggshells around Mr. Darmstadt.

I don’t think I ever saw him angry. He knew how to take care of himself. When I visited, he would sit in the kitchen, next to the telephone and let it ring. He had no intention of answering it, and if the ringing was bothering him, it never showed on his face. His wife or his son would have to come from another room to answer the phone, while he just sat there reading the paper and smoking his Kent Cigarettes. Strangely, he often answered the phone when I called.

He had this invincible ability to say anything he felt like, often to someone’s face, no matter how inappropriate. You wouldn’t dare repeat the things he said: you weren’t him and you would pay full price for the offense.

I’m still trying to sort out how I feel about his passing. When I saw that Chip had posted on facebook that he had died, I immediately went out to the record store and bought a Hank Williams album. I had to.

The other day as I was coming back from the store, one of his sayings popped into my head for some reason: “Your nuts are hanging out the window.” I thought about it for awhile, pondering if it meant anything other than “you’re crazy.” I heard it so much, I’ve always wanted to say it to people who never heard it before, but they would never understand. I might have even tried to in college.

I last saw him some time in the mid-80’s. I regret that. The truth is that I had always wished he had been my father. Something I knew inside but felt terribly ashamed of.

Cryptid of the Day: Lake Bomoseen Monster

Description: In 1986, a couple fishing on Lake Bomoseen, Vermont claimed to have seen a giant eel measuring 20 ft long. Fearing that the monster might attack them, or worse, steal their bait, they took off and ended their fishing trip.

Flash Flooding Makes Trip to Lake Bomoseen a Little Damp

Flash Flooding Makes Trip to Lake Bomoseen a Little Damp

This Fourth of July weekend, my sister Alexa and our father headed up to Lake Bomoseen Vermont to celebrate the holiday with some extended family. I had made a solo road trip the previous weekend and was looking forward to getting back on the kayak. I called shotgun so I could have a little more leg room and control over the radio, as well as to avoid a long car ride with hot black lab breath on…

Lake Bomoseen’s Phantom Rowboat

Even the simplest unexplained activity can cause terror, especially when the same sight is seen for over a century and a half.

In the mid-1800s Castleton, Vermont was a booming mining town with several mills and a quarry.

By the early 1900s, the town had slid into a financial decline. Castleton by the early 1920s was abandoned.

In 1929, the area became Lake Bomoseen State Park. Years before this, the lake already had a firm reputation for being haunted. The cause for this was connected to three Irish quarry workers that lived in the area during its boom years.

One night, these three men rowed across the lake to visit a local tavern to celebrate and drink.

After they left this bar drunk, they were never seen again. It was believed they must have drowned in the lake, on their way home.

Their bodies were never found. But their rowboat was discovered several days later when it drifted ashore.

This incident would not be remembered today—except for the strange sight it caused. Ever since the loss of these three men, witnesses have claimed to see a strange rowboat gliding across the lake—especially if there is a full moon.

The boat is described as empty and completely quiet.

People report seeing the oars rowing, but what is creepy, is they don’t see anyone in the boat. Even scarier is none of these witnesses heard a splash as the oars hit the water.

Also strange is there is no ripple on the surface of the water as the rowboat passes.

So are these three men doomed to row this boat for eternity?
