Announcements
Critical Condition, a blog (and hopefully more!) about interesting incidents and myths from history, is finally back online after an extended hiatus. I hope to bring more content out in a fairly short amount of time. The first new article, Hallowe'en themed in true Gothic style, talks about fears of premature burial and other horrors in the Victorian era. Enjoy!

Confirms a lot of the material I’ve been reading, including yours, and supports my own early theory that there really are no box drains or flood tunnel booby traps, just boring old geological facts.
Excellent article. I wish more of our current crop of “journalists” would read this and apply the principles to their own work. Ditto, the fringe writers.
I have a feeling I’ll be referring people to this a lot.
