Remembering how in my earlier childhood there was more\u2026 spooky around. The X-Files; Unsolved Mysteries; Eerie, Indiana, that came out of somewhere. I remember casually reading several books compiling 2-page nominally true “weird stuff” events.
I took the Bermuda Triangle and spontaneous combustion as things I might one day have to deal with. (At least the idea of PSI pyrokinesis, as seen in Stephen King’s Firestarter was pretty pass\u00e9 by then).
The Bigfoot vogue reflected in Harry and the Hendersons, The Six-Million Dollar Man, and the blue monster truck had tapered since the 70s too, but thanks to Communion “alien abduction” was huge.
