John Macklin - Beyond All Reason - Ace - 1970
The Mad Gasser Of Mattoon
In 1944, the entire town of Mattoon, Illinois was in complete panic. A woman and her child became severely ill after smelling an usual odor in their home. The woman's husband claimed to have spotted a mysterious masked prowler on their property. Their story appeared in the local newspaper, and the publication triggered more victims to come forward with similar stories.
According to one account, a man and woman were awoken by a horrendous smell. The couple became gravely ill, as did another family in the neighborhood.
The newspapers named the attacker the Mad Gasser.
The following weeks, multiple families claimed to fall victim to the "Phantom Anesthetist." People all over town reported deadly gas in their homes. The commotion and chaos got so out of control, the FBI began a thorough investigation.
Ironically, after a couple weeks of panic, the attacks suddenly stopped. The law never apprehended a suspect. There was never any evidence, and doctors never found abnormal medical conditions amongst the victims. Some townspeople believed the deadly toxins may have been nauseous odors from nearby industrial plants.
However, the true culprit was the local newspaper's misinterpretation of the story. The Mad Gasser, in reality, was just a product of mass hysteria.
pop and water!
our house often have mysterious events, which, the truth would often be revealed on a much later date… the one that I can remember clearly is… one afternoon, with the kids and I, sitting around the dining table, we heard a semi-loud "pop" in the house, it sounds like something from the kitchen… I went in there, didn't see anything, looked around the house, nothing unsual…
I think, it's around 1 month later, when I opened the cabinet opposite our island, I can't remember what I was looking for, then, I saw a bizzare pattern of splashes at the back of the cabinet, almost whole stretch up to the top, and it smells fruity!! still bizarre!!! I used a lot of alcohol wipe to clean the stain, sticky and kinda new, it's not fully hardened yet! argh~ the alcohol of the alcohol wipes is so strong, till I almost fainted (exagerrated)!
I cleaned and cleaned, till I reached the top, the top shelf, I am not tall enough even when I'm on the step stool, so, I can't really reach the inside with my arm, and I can't see the whole thing in there, but, I kinda… shockingly figured that, one of the canned peach, for some reason (maybe it's the weather!), the top of the can, popped opened by itself! unbelieveable right? usually "can", is supposed to be… to be able to withstand time? stress? and anything, and it'll still stay as a full "can", right? but no, this one, the top of it, popped opened, and together with this event, some syrup spilled, and that's the one that makes the "stained wall" (the back of the cabinet!) it took me a while to clean it, without being able to have the whole view, later, he cleaned those "unseen" part…
after a busy day, we sat down, then my baby is the one that connects the dot, we've forgotten about the mysterious pop sound one month ago, and she said, this might be the one that made that sound, THAT day!
I was very much, enlightened!
and!!! today another bizarre event happened! this morning, when I get everyone up, to get ready for the day, I stepped on some "wetness" on the floor, I asked baby, if she's spilled, she said "yes"… and I carried on with my daily morning routine, when I tried to fill the water tank for drinking, I stepped on the rag in front of the counter, it's wet! I thought it's just part of it, so, I tried to move that rag with my foot, and it's heavy! and no!!!!! the whole rag is soaked!!! it's soaked!!!! it's soaked!!!!!!!!! while grumbling, I picked it up, it's soaked and dripping! and excessive water even flow a little bit towards the other side of the floor! I threw it into the washing machine for a wash, and brought a new dry rag to replace!
and now, we (ended up, they're kinda late a little bit today, to arrive at school!) took a bit of time to "investigate" (theory)… baby calls it "distraction"… (she's so cute in her description)
there's no sign of spillage near the counter, or the cabinet underneath the counter, or anywhere near the counter or the sink area, or the mugs and jugs around it, there's no sign of wetness!!! except the rag itself, it's like a mug of water is thrown onto it purposely! baby 1 : she didn't take water from the water tank, she didn't go to that area, though she did spill some water this morning! him : he, thinking the same, if it's leakage from the tap from the drinking tank, the tank will be empty by now, nope, it's almost full this morning, I topped it up more, and that's when I found out that, the rag was soaked! baby 2 : he definitely didn't spill, his words!
last night… he took water from the tank, before bed, went to study room to surf a little bit longer, he didn't take more water from there after that… baby 1, she didn't wake up in the middle of the night, but even though she wakes up, usually she'll take from the jug, unless the jug is empty! and the thing is, I was up late a night, didn't see her coming out of the room, baby 2, he didn't get up too, and he filled up his bottle before going to bed, he claimed that the rag was dry, buit he can't be sure, as he's wearing his bedroom siippers! me, I didn't and don't take water from that water tank much, usually, just like baby 1, we have our own jug and kettle to store drinking water, and we drink from these containers!
and I went to bed at around 2.30am, verdict : if the rag got wet, it'll be between 2.30 to this morning! verdict : all of us are suspects! at first, I used the word "you", in the end, I think, it's "we", I said, "if you (it should be changed to "we") recall anything later in the day, please confess!"
that's bizarre event #2, big one!!!
there're a couple of small bizarre events, but I can't recall at this moment!
