National Curious Events Day
Celebrate the bizarre on #NationalCuriousEventsDay
If you love conspiracy theories and enjoy pondering inexplicable, bizarre events, then 9 October is just the day for you to celebrate, as it is National Curious Events Day.
Although the origin of this curious holiday is unknown, it is suspected that its creators wanted people to focus their attention on all the baffling, peculiar and inexplicable mysteries of the world and stop worrying about life’s small things.
Life is filled with big and small curious events as well as age-old questions without answers. Where do all the socks disappear to after doing laundry? Why do people open their mouths while applying mascara? Some mysteries have been obsessed over by curious and adventurous minds worldwide, for instance ‘Who built Stonehenge and for what purpose?” “Is Bigfoot real?” “Can ghosts and humans communicate with each other?”
And then there are the bigger, more philosophical mysteries of life: “What happens when we die?” “What is beyond the edge of the universe?”
To celebrate, spend some time being inquisitive about the world around you – no matter what kind of curious events interests you. Read or watch some documentaries on some of the famous curious events and incidents that have happened in the history of humankind. These documentaries include subjects such as the Bermuda Triangle, the Yeti and the Loch Ness monster sightings, crop circles and UFO sightings in Roswell. Become a detective yourself and try finding explanations for curious events that intrigue you.
But be careful – it is said that curiosity killed the cat!
