While the Canary Islands are shaking, the earth may now be moving somewhere else, too.. Around Katla, clusters of small earthquakes are being detected, which means an eruption could be imminent. Iceland watching. EarthInformer is, too.

The Halloween season brings with it typical tales of ghosts, goblins, and other high strangeness–stories most hope are only fiction. This year, a very real event is unfolding in South Dokata. Perhaps there is no better time than October to explore a modern mystery: Why did a church buy an abandoned ghost town anyway?

The town of Scenic SD was once popular for people traveling to Rapid City from the Badlands to the east or Pine Ridge Reservation to the south. Now it’s filled with high weeds, dusty brush, an empty saloon, and rusted jail cells.

It’s no wonder, therefore, that when the AP reported that a church bought the town for $700,000, it peaked interest not only in the town but around the globe, as well.

As the AP reports, the town has one business: A post office. And that post office has one employee.

The entire town was listed recently for $3 mil–and with no interest in the town for the price it dropped down fast.

Recently, the Iglesia ni Cristo church, established in the Philippines in 1914, bought the property for $700,000–with no official word coming from them or the real estate company as to the plans for Scenic.

The church is a conservative Christian establishment and its original founder, Felix Manalo, broke away from the Catholic church.

Meanwhile in South Dakota, no word from the church has been given to officials on the plans either. According to a report in the Rapid City JOURNAL, a listing on the church website indicates members being in Rapid City.. But an entire town to house them?

According to reports, Coldwell Banker realtor Dave Olson won’t give answers either: a non disclosure document exists on the sale.

However, another person from Coldwell, Joe Bennington, told the Rapid City JOURNAL that the plan for the town will make it ‘fully functioning’ and ‘positive.’

The internet is buzzing with rumors about impending volcanic eruptions in the Canary Islands. The theory, as spoken about by vulcanologists would have it that earthquakes or a volcano would strike La Palma, a significant part of the island would collapse into the ocean and spawn a massive tidal wave–one that would smash into the East Coast hours later with 200+ feet waves..

The claim has been debated. In the early 2000s, a BBC documentary reported on the research about a mega tsunami. Others have dismissed the whole notion as fear porn.

Volcanic activity in the Canary Islands has been dormant for decades. Recently over 10,000 quakes have been registered since July–days ago an underwater eruption occurred causing evacuations and a code red alert from the government.

Various sources indicate that a massive tidal wave may have occurred approximately 50,000 years ago after a volcanic trigger. No scientific verification of that event has yet occurred.

However, it has not stopped the Internet rumor machine from cranking out apocalyptic scenarios–scenarios that would include horrid destruction of much of the modern world.

Since his passing only days ago, the world is celebrating the life, times, and products of Apple’s Steve Jobs.

Mr. Jobs’ death at an early age this week and was immediately heralded as a genius of this age, someone who created products with purpose that people needed and wanted.

But while he was making billions for his company, the back story of his life is only now being revealed from those close to him.

In proof that money can’t buy pure happiness, the UK INDEPENDENT is reporting in fresh international runs that Steve Jobs had a final wish that had nothing to do with his products or his profits: Instead he wanted to get to know his children before it was too late.

According to the INDEPENDENT report, Walter Isaacson, Jobs’ biographer, visited Jobs a few weeks ago and found him curled up in pain, too weak to even climb stairs. Isaacson told the paper that he recalled Jobs saying, “I wanted my kids to know me. I wasn’t always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did.”

Jobs is survived by a wife and three children..

Friends have also rumored that some who went to see a dying Jobs weren’t alllowed in, but some others were, including Roger Iger of Disney, and other Apple officials..

An amazing man, indeed.. And a showcase of how, while money may equate happiness while health is good, when it’s not, the real things begin to matter: Life, family.. and the legacy you will leave behind.

Mr. Jobs’ public legacy is strong and respectable. It appears that he wanted to ensure that his private legacy was just as powerfu before he lost his battle with pancreatic cancer.
