On this Weird Day in History...

On September evenings the ghost of a murdered nun is said to haunt Pennis Lane (note the double 'N') in the Kent village of Fawkham Green. For reasons unexplained, her skull is now kept in the attic of a nearby house and it is deemed bad luck to remove it 

Also today - the 13th September - is the anniversary of the start of the Straw Hat Riots in New York City in 1922. Apparently it was socially unacceptable for men to wear straw boaters after 15th September and an invitation to have them knocked from your head and stomped on. The riots began when a mob of youths jumped the gun and started stomping on hats two days prematurely.
