If you follow me on Twitter @weirdscience2 you will see (daily) striking images - and startling scientific anomalies from my very extensive database (collected over 40 years) culled from periodicals from the 17th century to the present. Here below are some representative examples

An article (below) in Chamber's Journal, July 28th, 1866, p. 479, discusses a paper - Deaths by Lightning, presented to The Academy of Sciences, Paris, by M. Boudin. Surprising results of his investigations! 

This (below) is from The New Penny Magazine, no. 162, Vol. XIII, p. 213.
