CABINET OF CURIOSITIES 2 AMERICA'S UNEXPLAINED IN 20 OBJECTS JUST HOW WEIRD IS AMERICA? COME INSIDE AND FIND OUT Mysteries have baffled us since time began and no one knows that better than author Troy Taylor, who pulls open the curtain on another collection of the strange and the unusual from the weirdest corners of America. In this second book in a series, he traces the history of the unexplained in the United States by using 20 bizarre objects that made a mark on the world of the weird as we know it In these startling exhibits, readers will marvel at objects that might never know existed, like plaster casts of hairy giants; a frozen monster that may - or may not have been - a hoax; cellar stones from a vanished town; a cannonball fired at a winged creature; metal bolts from a bridge that collapsed mysteriously; evidence of giant birds; a photograph that shouldn't exist - and yet scores of people remember seeing it; the wreckage of an airship that couldn't possibly exist - and yet it did; a horned human skull; bones of giants; unbelievable objects that have fallen from the sky; furniture burned by inexplicable means; a poison-scented handkerchief left by an elusive gasser; and much more Pay your admission and come inside - the strange side of America is waiting for you
