And to thank you for listening until the end, we have a creepy fact for you.
There’s an island in the mid-Atlantic that’s rumored to appear and disappear randomly. San Borondón exists in numerous historical texts, but nobody can find it today, despite the fact that it should be near the Canary Islands. When it was first discovered around 500 AD, the monks who found it supposedly left in a hurry because the island kept moving. As they set sail, the monks saw that the island began to sink into the sea. Even the Spaniards claim that this mysterious eighth Canary Island isn’t always where it should be. There are people alive today that claim to have seen the island, though no one seems to be able to locate it.
We’ll be back in next week with an interview with Tananarive Due. You don’t want to miss it, so make sure you’re subscribed!
