LTJ was a brownie, there was this girl in her pack older than her, then LTJ moved to a new area

when she joined the new brownie pack, there was a girl there identical to the girl in her previous pack, with the same name, only this time younger than her!

my favourite ever mystery was the Cottingley fairies one where experts looked at the photos and declared they couldn't possibly be faked, and then some old ladies turned up years later and said they had done it - with blooming cardboard cutouts FGS! Brilliant!

I remember that one - that was seriously weird....

Anyone who like a bit of history this is a great book. It talks about Queen Victoria's haemophilia gene and how she was either an incredibly rare mutation or illegitimate. It then goes on to explain how it contributed towards WW1 as all her children were infighting etc.

Oh how weird about the girl guide thing. Did the girl recognise LTJ or deny knowing her?

I wonder about something I saw Christmas Eve 1997 in Billericay, Essex. I'd been to Midnight Mass and as I got home there was this weird swirling thing in the sky. Lots of us saw it, it was almost like a giant ferris wheel on its side but like it was made up from Northern Lights swirls. It moved around the sky randomly then just went.

We scoured the local papers for reports for weeks after but never saw anything. My parents saw it 5 miles away towards Chelmsford and our neighbours and friends too.

Ruby, is that true?!! Blimey. There's one mystery solved then Sad

Electric brae is a hill where things apparently roll uphill. I think it's an optical illusion too, there's another one in NY state.
