Flutist visited by Bach
We posted recently about Rosemary Brown who claimed she was visited by the ghosts of famous composers such as Liszt and Beethoven who shared new musical works with her.The flutist Paula Robison reported a similar experience. She was feeling nervous about her upcoming project to record all of Bach's sonatas for flute and harpsichord, when the ghost of Bach appeared beside her as she was frying liver in her kitchen. He appeared to be "very hot and uncomfortable and impatient." He then said, "Just play it. Play it and enjoy it."
The ghosts of composers really seem to be an active bunch.

Death in Nutty Putty Cave
Until I saw it posted on the TYWKIWDBI blog a few days ago, I had never heard of John Jones's Nov 2009 death in Nutty Putty Cave. Since then I've learned that it's well known in many corners of the Internet. Still, if it was new to me, it'll probably be new to a lot of WUvies as well. And it certainly qualifies as a weird and disturbing death.The illustration below (which comes from the video below that) shows the position in which Jones was trapped for 27 hours before his death.
Jones's body remains there to this day because rescuers were unable to get him out. The cave has been sealed shut.

A Death Foretold
Malkeet Singh predicted that he would die on Sunday, April 8, 1984 at exactly 10am. Then he would be reincarnated as a 1400-year-old faith healer. Dozens of people turned up to witness the event, but nothing happened. So Singh told the crowd to come back after lunch. Still, nothing happened. The next day Singh returned to work at the local Ford factory.

We have seen instances of this theme before: a giant nuclear mushroom cloud does not indicate death and destruction, but rather it shows your product is powerful.
