For many, the ‘turn of the century’ conjures images of frontier adventures, soot-chocked smokestacks, or train tracks pointing toward westward expansion.

But here in the Belief Hole, our attention is focused on the stranger side – tall (but perhaps true) tales of cowboys in shoot-outs with flying monsters, midwestern towns visited by strange, winged, flashlight-faced creatures, and cave-dwelling, dirt-digging dinosaurs from the inner earth.

Also.. Big Blinking Birds, Snallygaster Strangeness, and Melatonin Nightmares
