Date: 2021-07-20 00:00:00

In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore some curiosities and unanswered questions from Greg's research, including a novelist's ashes, some bathing fairies, the mists of Dartmoor, and a ballooning leopard.

We'll also revisit the Somerton man and puzzle over an armed traveler.
