It's rumoured that the Not Witch of Santa Cruz did not cast a Not Spell upon this author from her tree. Researchers at the School of Not Parapsychology, Midjourney University, have revealed the truth of this troubling matter. "It's clear we underestimated Ms. Cunningham's powers," Chief Researcher, Dr. Shambala Nocturno warned, "The Not Witch of Santa Cruz is alive and well despite being dead and buried for over a century." Locals have been advised to destroy any suspicious saplings and call their Not Parapsychology branch as soon as possible for tests.

Great stuff, but you should coax Midjourney into conjuring up an image of The Mystery Spot!

Genius. I think I may be related to the Not Witch.

I remember reading about Jed Reynolds when I was walled off in a sinkhole back in 86'. Hearing his name conjures up memories of that photo of his mother feeding his peculiar looking head. I heard his company imported rare and exotic fogs from all over the world. It's too bad it doesn't exist anymore. I'd be in the market for some high quality Tonga fog.

Jed Reynolds was a distant cousin of mine. My mind is a little foggy on that but it is said he was a bitter man who went through life mostly legless.

Michael - you seem confused. The last Fictosaur is alive and well and swimming about freely in Loch Ness. Not far from where I live.... Brian

We can only hope! I'd personally love another Sci fi offering. But will be over the moon with anything.

I've been looking into it but haven't been able to see much...

I'm so sorry!

Very Cthulu Mythos. Those guys look as if they are inhabited by Intruders. 😳
