50 ‘Weird History’ Pics That May Rewrite The Narrative Of How You Think The Past Went (Best Of All Time)
Historians will tell you that it's important to study the past because it helps us understand why things are the way they are in the present. And, as we know, the world can be a very strange place at the best of times. The halls of history are decked with all sorts of weird and wacky moments. Some might make you cry with laughter, while others could leave your jaw on the floor. There are historical accounts that make us wonder, "What were they thinking?" And there are those we wish had never happened.
To better understand how things got so wild, we turned to an X account called Weird History. Located "somewhere between space and time," it shares interesting, odd, and funny things that have happened throughout history. It's amassed more than 176,000 followers, getting their daily dose of our "never a dull moment" past. Keep scrolling for Bored Panda's best-of-all-time posts from the page.

Yes it is. Have seen something similar at the Mount St Helens Visitor Center. Worth a visit.

In case you're wondering why the streets are empty, they're not. Early photography required insane exposure times of 20m or more in broad daylight, so they would only capture things which weren't moving, like buildings.

I’ve been here!! It’s creepy as heck, and a lot smaller than you’d think from looking at photos. The amusement park opened a day before the Chernobyl reactor accident (iirc) so very few people ever got a chance to ride on the Ferris wheel or other little rides (I think there’s only 3 or 4 of them)

Very cool post. But why call it 'best of all time'? After a few dozen times that phrase loses it's meaning...
