2. ‘Witch Bottle’ Discovered in English Chimney
Location: Watford, England
Year Discovered: 2019
Est. Value: $40*
While tearing down a former bar in Watford, England, contractors made an odd discovery in the building’s chimney portion. This eerie, legendary gift included a witch bottle, teeth, glass pieces, and something that seemed like an unknown liquid. It was believed that the bottle was from the 1800s. Presumably, it was put in the pub to fend off witches. That makes sense, given that the Witch of Saratoga was born on this Watford estate. The Witch’s original name was Angeline Tubbs, and in 1761 she moved to Saratoga, New York, where she read fortunes and manufactured witch bottles to frighten off rivals.

3. Giant Lego Men Wash up on Beaches Around the World
Location: Yuigahama Beach, Japan
Year Discovered: 2014
Est. Value: Unknown
People are concerned when dead animals washes up on the coast because it may indicate an issue with the water quality. A massive, eight-foot, menacing Lego man—who knows what that means? The Japanese surfer made the discovery of this possible omen of disaster. The Lego man had a t-shirt with the words “No Real Than You Are” on the front, which gave him a foreboding appearance. Instead of blaming aliens, it seems that a mysterious Dutch artist by the name of Ego Leonard is the man responsible for this enormous Lego. It may surprise you to learn that this artist is from a “virtual world,” but this is not the first time a massive Lego set has washed up on the coast. These were also discovered on the shores of Topanga Beach, California, and Siesta Key, Florida.
