Old Capricorn: The Cursed Goat Head of Strumpshaw
Manage episode 421053112 series 3411306
Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the shop, Kara is telling us about a taxidermy goat head with a checkered past.
Yep, you heard that right - we're talking full-blown, "Beware the cursed goat head" kind of stuff.
Speaking of which, Old Capricorn has a bone to pick with us as we recount his misadventures from a beloved English pub to becoming the village's most infamous jinx. It's a saga of bad luck, blame games, and the all-too-human need to find a scapegoat (pun intended). And if you think the story ends there, think again. This goat head isn't just your average wall ornament; we delve into its eerie post-pub life, stirring up animal antics and sending locals into a tizzy trying to drown out the curse - literally and figuratively.
Remember, we love hearing from you, so if you've got thoughts, feelings, or a particular affinity for goat emojis, drop us a line. Until next time, keep your curiosity piqued and your objects un-cursed – or not, if you're into that kind of thing.
