Old Capricorn: The Cursed Goat Head of Strumpshaw

Oddity Shop

Welcome to The Oddity Shop, Where the Bizarre is Always on Sale! This week in the shop, Kara is telling us about a taxidermy goat head with a checkered past.
Yep, you heard that right - we're talking full-blown, "Beware the cursed goat head" kind of stuff.
Speaking of which, Old Capricorn has a bone to pick with us as we recount his misadventures from a beloved English pub to becoming the village's most infamous jinx. It's a saga of bad luck, blame games, and the all-too-human need to find a scapegoat (pun intended). And if you think the story ends there, think again. This goat head isn't just your average wall ornament; we delve into its eerie post-pub life, stirring up animal antics and sending locals into a tizzy trying to drown out the curse - literally and figuratively.
Remember, we love hearing from you, so if you've got thoughts, feelings, or a particular affinity for goat emojis, drop us a line. Until next time, keep your curiosity piqued and your objects un-cursed – or not, if you're into that kind of thing.
