From the Weather Bureau in Burlington, Iowa: Write about something mysterious.

Who writes these prompts, anyway?

It’s a mystery…

  You’re welcome, and thanks for the follow. They’re probably pulling them out of a book of prompts for beginning bloggers.

I love watching “Mystery” on PBS…one of my favourite channels and love those animations. Now, who does one sock disappear after you dry them?

  I don’t know, but I’ve heard that when you die and go to heaven you get a box full of all the stuff you’d ever lost.

I loved watching Mystery on PBS. Only recently found out that this opening scared my son! Edward Gorey is great.

  I wish they’d bring this opening back, not that we watch PBS much (both stations are out of range of our antenna, evidently).

    I haven’t watched PBS in a long time, do they even still have it? I used to go visit my older sister and watch it with her on Thursday nights. It was my getaway from the house night. When she passed I stopped watching.

      Last time I looked, Mystery was on after Masterpiece Theater and is called Masterpiece Mystery. That was a few years ago…

I have no idea what “Mystery!” is, but the sequence is very intriguing (and a little creepy – I assume cause it’s out of context).

  It’s a program on public broadcasting of mysteries, mostly from the BBC. The opening sequence is by Edward Gorey, a cartoonist who, like Charles Addams and Gahan Wilson, specializes in the macabre.
