10-11-2024 - On This Day in Insane History

On October 11th, 2024, the citizens of England were shocked to observe a most unusual sight. What appeared to be a giant hairy spider was seen floating down the river Thames through downtown London. Eyewitnesses report that the mysterious arachnid creature was over ten feet in diameter and had landed on the shore near London Bridge. Police and scientists were called to investigate and attempted to capture the beast to no avail. It scurried back into the murky waters and swam upstream.

Specialists have never seen a spider of this size in all recorded natural history. Theories abound as to its origin. Some have suggested it emerged from an underground cave connecting to a mystical larger-than-life spider kingdom. Others think it an extraterrestrial visitor who escaped from a secret government research lab. A few claim it as proof we all live inside the dream of a very large spider. Whatever the case, the so-called "London Leviathan" left Londoners feeling they had witnessed something truly anomalous that day on the Thames. Its whereabouts remain unknown as the whole incident was written off as mass hysteria by the scientific establishment. But all who saw will never forget their brief encounter with that gigantically gargantuan arachnid.
