Hometown news makes the Turkish paper

On Friday, for the first time in my life, I bought a copy of an English-language daily called Today’s Zaman. What did I find on the back page? A story about a ghost hunt at a former asylum in my hometown! (Well, a cancelled ghost hunt anyway.)

Amazing coincidence.

The story was on the AP wire and likely filled a “news of the weird” spot in the paper — I don’t suppose I should expect future editions to tell me when the firefighters are going to hold their annual pancake breakfast.
