*Dunwich horror*

I was gonna submit that - good thing I looked and saw you did it first.

[afraidfortherepublic]

OMG — must be because of human carbon levels! Oh, wait a minute...

[IronJack]

Chelsea Hubbell?

Nothing that bad. A mere monster.

a DIDSON sonar -- a novel system that uses sound instead of light

Uh, all SONAR uses sound...Sound Navigation And Ranging. Duh.

My wife and I visited Ephesus and Mary’s house a couple of years ago. There is a very beautiful peacefulness of the place that is hard to explain. Almost takes you back 2000 years. :)

SO TRUE. How wonderful for you both.
I'm also very glad that it hasn't changed. The Turks allow it to remain unchanged.
I don't often hear good things about the Turks but this sure is one.

[cloudmountain]

They ARE amazing!

Last paragraph of the FR excerpt:

"The new survey involved sending a diver down with a DIDSON sonar -- a novel system that uses sound instead of light to 'illuminate' objects rather like a torch and means objects can be identified even in muddy water. "

[SunkenCiv]

DIDSON sonar — a novel system — it’s not your father’s sonar.

[SunkenCiv]

All sonar is not DIDSON sonar.

[Moltke]

No, but *ALL* SONAR is sound, not light. The author makes it sound (no pun intended) like other SONAR systems use light. Get it now? The wording of that sentence is unfortunate, to say the least.

This Yog-Sothoth or this one

It appears that the Deep Ones have finally taken all of Dunwich to Y’ha-nthlei.

[Godebert]

This is an area that I would love to do some metal-detecting. At Grey Friar's Monastery it's said that locals saw coffins and bodies hanging out of the cliffs after heavy storms. Many old coins have been recovered from the cliffs below the monastery.

Walks in Suffolk - Dunwich - 'town' and heath

[SkyPilot]

The same thing happened to Cape May, NJ.

The coastline of this 1886 map is not the coastline of today by a long shot.

[SunkenCiv]

That usually appears in the form, “why don’t journalists learn how to write?”.

[smokingfrog]

Sounds pretty cool. 😎

[1Old Pro]

Makes sense that a city would be on the shores when the sea was the major method of transport. Surprised more “cities” weren’t eroded away.

[SunkenCiv]

There was a town called Newton which was entirely swept away, I think that was in the Wiki-wacky page.
