Every couple of years I’ll see a news report about a giant paper wasp’s nest in a house. Giant nest, not giant wasps. Doesn’t seem all that unusual. It probably only requires a warm climate or house warmed year round, and a sufficient supply of food. The best way to get rid of wasp’s nest is to burn it, but that may not be practical if it’s inside your house. I don’t know how people don’t notice these things. Even inside the walls you should hear the bugs crawling around.
You know, I was just thinking how I haven’t had any really terrifying nightmares in awhile. After clicking the links in this thread, I think that void in my life will be filled.
With that many wasps, they probably carried the poor homeowner’s body away, somewhere.
I read about this case, and it’s very strange. I don’t remember all the détails, but IIRC the house he was living in was very valuable and it was discovered he owned other properties. However, he used to have some random blue collar job and how he came into possession of those properties is unclear. He probably inherited them or bought them from a woman with whom he had no know relation. Also, no trace could be found of him in Spain where he was supposedly born, hence he was most likely living under an assumed identity.
I found an article about it, and there’s an element I had forgotten : around the time of his death he was about to sell the house where he was found to a German woman. He didn’t show up to sign the papers, and the German lady can’t be found, either.
Finally, another mystery : no evidence of his birth was found in Spain, but evidences of his death were. Before dying in France in 1997 or so, he already died in Spain in 1970.
