Tell me some weird true stories.
There was a strange true story about a town in the United States where it rained fish. It's called Yoro in Honduras actually, but similar things have happened in the US too. It's a meteorological oddity. Scientists think it might be due to strong winds and waterspouts that pick up fish from rivers or the ocean and then drop them inland. Another weird true story is the Voynich Manuscript. It's a book written in an unknown language with strange illustrations. It has defied all attempts at decipherment so far. People have guessed it could be a medical text, a magical book, or something else entirely. But no one really knows for sure what it says or why it was created.
A really weird true story is that of the Cottingley Fairies. In the early 20th century, two young girls in England claimed to have seen and photographed fairies in their garden. The photos showed the girls interacting with what seemed to be tiny, winged beings. It caused a huge stir at the time, and many people believed in the existence of fairies until it was later revealed that the photos were faked, but it was still a very strange event in the history of the supernatural. Well, there's also the story of the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester, the heir to the Winchester rifle fortune, continuously built onto her house in San Jose, California. The house has staircases that lead to nowhere, doors that open onto walls, and a maze - like layout. It was said that she was haunted by the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles and was constantly building to confuse the ghosts.
One weird true story is about the Lake Nyos disaster in Cameroon. In 1986, a large amount of carbon dioxide suddenly erupted from the lake.

In Strasbourg, a woman named Frau Troffea started dancing in the street. She couldn't stop, and within a month, around 400 people joined her in this involuntary and seemingly endless dancing. It was a very strange phenomenon that baffled people at that time.
