History That Never Was

Time for more weird history to inspire your writing or maybe just pique your curiosity!

HistoryExtra has a great list of eight weird December historical occurrences (well, one is in January, but I’ll allow it!), which are somewhat holiday themed.

If you need more in the “weird winter holiday” category, check out The Debrief’s list of mysterious, bizarre, and terrifying holiday traditions throughout history.

Finally, if you would rather see less weird holiday-themed historical events, History Place has you covered with their regular list of December events throughout history!

Even if you don’t write historical fiction, you could choose an odd event and transport it into a different setting, time period, genre, etc. See if any of these events gives you a great idea for a story, poem, or even a novel!
