A hundred years ago, newspapers were completely unhinged. And here at hometown ghost stories we went digging for the scariest and most bizarre headlines we could find. Articles about ghostly cowboys still riding the range, a ghost wandering around looking for his own dismembered hand, and a parrot so aggressive and foul-mouthed it was blamed for being demonically possessed. There’s also a woman who ate herself to death. And no… not in the way you’re thinking. Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all that, there’s a very real headline calmly informing readers that Santa Claus is dead. These aren’t urban legends. These are real newspaper stories people read over breakfast and then just went to work like nothing was wrong. Ghostly cowboys. Demonic parrots. Haunted cabs. Dead Santa. And a whole stack of headlines that prove the past was way stranger than it had any right to be. This is Haunted Headlines.Become a supporter on Patreon!
