… Was not a Zombie attack. I’ve made jokes about it on Twitter but in all seriousness it was a hideous, drug-fueled crime.

The unknown noise is the signature pseudo-paranormal mystery of the early teens, apparently. Here’s a story about a “a loud boom and violent shaking” that occurred in West Michigan earlier this week.

We are left with a mystery. One that might come to your region soon.

SGGP English Edition- Bizarre skin disease eludes Vietnam’s health officials
I honestly thought health officials found the answer to this riddle when they discovered an herbicide behind three deaths that appeared related to this skin disease. The article quoted above implies that still may be the case… but leaves the questions.
I do not thank Stephen King for The Stand leaving me with this undying fascination with puzzling and potentially deadly maladies.
