It means incoherent news stories about “the occult.”
On the other hand, here is something genuinely cool: Oxford Journals are offering free downloads on a group of articles that have some connection or other to historical witchcraft, horror stories, or the just plain spooky.
The offer is good only through the 31st. I am off to read “Buffalo Bill Meets Dracula” myself.
The coverage on Fox 31 was also spotty–ok, you are calling “occult” and reporting this…because it is October?!
