My latest blog perfect for the armchair reader who is looking to explore some of the creepiest, quirkiest and by golly downright curious tidbits of knowledge and weirdness found on the web for the curious bunch all you tumblrs and tumblerettes out there....

You will learn about some of America's most intrguing monsters like Frogmen and Gatormen and Goatmen or read about animals that have stood trial or even Mike, the headless chicken- a bird who for 18 months ran around with his head cut off.

So come step inside the circus tent and discover the weird, strange and unusual things that go bump in the night.

Rigor Mortis
 (latin: stiffness after death)

  • Caused by a chemical reaction in the muscles after death
  • a good determination of the time of death - it begins a few hours post-mortem, reaches it’s maximum at about 12 hours, and then gradually decreased for about 3 days. Environmental factors, such as temperature, can speed up or slow down the process.

Post-mortem lividity (livor mortis), or hypostasis

  • the pooling of the blood dependent on the position of the body.
  • lividity which does not match the position the body is found in is a good determinate of the body being moved post-mortem

Algor Mortis - the gradual decline in body temperature after death

  • generally a 2 degrees C decrease in the first hour, and 1 degree thereafter - with the ambient temperature having a significant effect on this rate

Decomposition

Decomposition is the process whereby bodily tissues are broken down into smaller molecules after death. The physical and chemical properties observed during decay are categorized into five stages: (1) fresh, (2) putrefaction, (3) black putrefaction,(4) butyric fermentation, and (5) dry decay
