Starlings overrun Bridgeport, IL neighborhoodSource: Chicago Trib
I a real-life episode from the classic Hitchcock film, The Birds, masses of starlings have bombed local cars with droppings in this quiet Illinois neighborhood.

So far today, it has been fairly quiet, couple of visitors, things like that. Heck, here it is 4:12 p.m., and I'm still in my jammies. I was sitting here reading email when I heard an ongoing sound not quite as loud as the vacuum running.

Victim! Motive! Opportunity! Scene! WHY?
Time to learn a little about my fellow viners from a bit of an eerie perspective! If you could come back from the "Other Side" just to haunt someone, just one special someone, who would your special desire be?
And of course, why!?
