Many of you may be familiar with tales of mass hallucination and group hysteria in which people can convince themselves that imaginary events have taken place, but how many of you are aware of a similar condition which prevents people from accepting the truth, preferring instead to invent a scenario that they feel more comfortable with?

One such instance is the now forgotten "Beldoe's (or as it is referred to these days "Liberty")  Island Incident".

In 1884 the Japanese finally made a breakthrough in their development of the atomic bomb or "Mr Big-Boomie Bomb" as they referred to it. Initial tests were carried out just off the coast of America for reasons of safety, but no one could have foreseen that the radiation would reactivate a slumbering 152-foot tall Gorgon intent on destroying New York.

The Gorgon rampaged across NY for the better part of two years before finally catching a glimpse of itself reflected in the Chrysler building whereupon it instantly turned to stone. Once incapacitated the Gorgon was moved to Beldoe's Island where the whole incident was covered up as an ice-cream promotion.

The Japanese banned all further research on the Mr Big-Boomie Bomb after this incident, but this failed to prevent America from getting it's own back in 1945. These days the Gorgon is believed to be of no threat to people, however, there are still some of us who would rather not take any risks.
