Mysterious Death at Shibakami
Today at 1:00, Max Christophers (Gemini) will die in the middle of Shibakami Park.  His body will be discovered soon after, and forensic analysis performed at the scene will suggest that he has killed by a wild animal, possibly a large dog.  No traces of such a dog will be found, though residents will report sightings of a large, black creature for the rest of the day.  Later analysis at Silver Spring Municipal Hospital will back up the findings of the initial investigation, noting that the murder could only have been carried out by a large dog.

Sources suggest that Mr. Christophers will be killed by an Inugami, a dog spirit typically created to carry out a curse.  There is no evidence that nobody hated Mr. Christophers strongly enough to curse him to death, and it is possible that Mr. Christophers will not be killed by an Inugami, but a similar dog spirit.  This newspaper can offer no more information at this time, but recommends that Shibakami part be avoided around 1:00, least the reader attract the spirit's curse upon themselves.

Rash of Bad Luck?
Cases of bad luck are popping up all over the city, leaving psychics and astrologers stumped.  At this time, no information exists as to what is causing this bad luck, or what actions attracts it.  It has been speculated that a build up of tainted ki in the Earth Vein could be the cause, but investigations are still ongoing.  Until this bad luck is better understood, please take horoscope readings and similar divinations with a grain of salt.

Weather
Today's high will be 91F, with a low of 82F as things cool down towards the evening.  Today will be mostly sunny, with clouds moving in late afternoon, and isolated thunderstorms later in the evening.  Storms will clear up around 10:00 PM, with clear skies for the rest of the night.

Horoscope
Aries - Today will be decent, but you are running out of time.  Settle as much as you can today, because you don't know how long your luck will hold.
Taurus - Today will be terrible.  Everything will go wrong, from the minor to the major.  Frankly, even if you stay home, something bad is sure to happen.
Gemini - Today won't be your best.  A troubled morning will spill into a troubled afternoon.  Beware of green places, and the darkness that lurks where you least
expect it.
Cancer - Today will start badly, and only get worse.  Things may seem alright, but the peaceful life you have been living is only an illusion of the summer heat.
Leo - Today will be bland.  Nothing particuarly good or bad will happen.  What little good that happens will be reciprocated by bad, and what little bad happens
will be reciprocated by good.
Virgo - Today will be decent.  Expect your love life to advance, though not much else will.  Today is the perfect day for a romantic dinner or a 'special night.'
Libra - Today won't be the best.  Minor things will go wrong all day, though there will no major issues.  Stress will be a bigger problem than any actual event, so
take the day of work, if you can.
Scorpio - Today will bring misfortune.  You may have thought that nothing could scare you, but that false courage will melt away in the summer heat.
Sagittarius - Today will be good in places, though bad in others.  Your carrier and family life will go smoothly, but delays will plague your other actions.
Capricorn - Today could use some work.  You won't get fired from your job, but a minor setback will spiral into a serious issue.  Expect flak from your boss, and that promotion you've been looking for to be pushed back a year.
Aquarius - Today will fine, with one exception.  Avoid the water.  Be it the ocean, the Thompson Spring, or even the bathtub, water will only spell disaster.
Pisces - Today will be ordinary.  Nothing much will happen, good or bad.  Don't expect to form any new bonds today, but don't fear the erosion of old ones.
Girls do their best now and are preparing. Please wait warmly until it is ready.

Highway Accident
Today at 5:30, Randal Shaw (Libra) will be struck by a car at the intersection of Green Hill and Ohmu and die.  Witnesses at the scene will wonder what drove him to walk onto the road at such an inauspicious time.  Investigation into his family life will reveal that the accident was not an attempt at suicide.  The driver of the car will not be charged, though he will be haunted by the death for some time.

Sources suggest that Mr. Shaw was pushed into the street by the evil spirit haunting that stretch of road.  The evil spirit, a young girl, has attempted to kill others through car accidents several times, likely in an attempt to relive the accident which ended her own life.  While this spirit has attempted to create several accidents, this will be the first time she succeeds.

Luck Investigation Fruitless
Today's investigation into the Earth Vein has revealed that it is not the cause of the currently wave of bad luck.  Investigations will continue, but until this case is solved, please take care, and be wary of predictions of the future.

Shoujo Bat?
All spirits in the Green Hills area, be careful when going about your business.  A malevolent ghost was found with its head beaten on Green Hill Rd at 3:44 last afternoon.  Initials found near the scene suggest that this murder may be a part of the "H.A." murders occurring throughout the city.  Crime scene investigation and forensic analysis suggest that a bat was used in the murder, but no further information is available at this time.

Weather
Today's high will be 95F, cooling down slightly to 80F after dark.  Today will be sunny, with no chance of rain.

Horoscope
Aries - Today will be hot.  Don't trust the illusions cast by the summer heat, and you may just make it through the day.
Taurus - Today will be unfortunate.  Nothing bad will happen to you directly, but misfortune will fall upon all those around you.
Gemini - Today will be good.  That is to say nothing bad will happen to you, which in this weather can only be a good thing...
Cancer - Today will be decent.  The unguided fears of yesterday will be replaced with a more immediate sense of dread.  The summer heat pulls people apart, but it can also bring people together.
Leo - Today will be great!  If you play the lottery, you might just have won!
Virgo - Today will be different.
Libra - Today will be bad.  Automotive troubles will plague your day, and you can expect your car to break down or otherwise get you in trouble.
Scorpio - Today won't be so hot, though you may think otherwise.  Keep yourself grounded, and you may not lose too much to the summer heat.
Sagittarius - Today will be decent.  In particular, you can expect good things job-wise.
Capricorn - HahAHa, TOdaY... dO you REaLLy ThINk You StIlL havE a 'ToDAy'?
Aquarius - Today will be good.  Make sure to wear black, and you can expect your love life will advance to the next level.
Pisces - Today will be okay.  You may just reconnect with a long lost friend.

Kagome~ Kagome~
Today, at 10:00 PM, Alissa Cristianson (Ophiuchus) will be murdered by a fox spirit as she walk home through Moongate Park.  Her normal homecoming routine will be interrupted by strange lights and music, and when she investigates the oddity, she will be pulled into a game of life or death.  She will fail, and be eviscerated in response.  Travelers through Moongate Park at this time are advised to avoid any strange sights, as they may get pulled into a similar game.  If escape seems impossible, bribery may work.  Fox spirits are known to enjoy fried tofu and sake, and may be willing to allow you to escape if you offer them such things.

A Plague of Locusts
Silver Spring is currently experiencing an abnormally high number of locusts.  Please take extra care to cover up or take inside what plants you can.

Another "H.A." Murder
Well known Silver Spring plague demon, Fernaldo Rattigan,  is likely another victim of the ongoing "H.A." murders.  Both the manner of death (bludgeoning, likely from a bat) and the initials left at the scene (H.A.) tie this unfortunate occurrence to the currently unexplained serial killing.  Police are investigating the scene looking for any clues that could point them towards the mysterious "H.A.", but nothing solid has been found.  Police advise all locals keep an eye out, and report any strange behaviors.  The police also advise to take special note of any humans in your surroundings, and the culprit may not be a spirit.

Newspaper of Horror
It has come to our attention that the tagline of the Newspaper of Horror "One issue, One year" is not completely clear.  As such, we have taken this opportunity to explain it.  The price of one issue of the Newspaper of Horror is one year of your life.  As many are unwilling to pay this price, we at the Newspaper of Horror are always willing to accept substitute lives.  If sending in a substitute, please send a young human.  There is nothing more unfortunate than to attempt to take a year from an elder human and find that they don't even have a full year left.  In such cases, the leftovers will be taken from you, as normal.

Of course, if the information within this newspaper is any less than 100% accurate, we are willing to, as they say, give you your "money back."

Weather
Today's high will be 97F, barely cooling down to lows of 90F in the evenings.  Today will be slightly cloudy, with heavy clouds moving in with the night.

Horoscope
Aries - Today will continue.  The task you chose for yourself is not yet over.
Taurus - Today will be good.  Expect a wonderful gustatory experience.
Gemini - Today will be divided.  Both good things and bad things will occur, but it may be hard to tell which was which.
Cancer - Today will be scary.  Like the day before and the day before that.  The claws of the summer heat haven't let you go just yet.
Leo - Today will be today.  Beware those without a future and those who's luck isn't determined by horoscopes.
Virgo - Today will be decent.  You will have a calm day at work, and will return home in a good mood.
Libra - Today will be unbalanced.  Despite your best efforts, things will happen without your control.  That doesn't mean they will be bad, though.
Scorpio - Today will be fruitful.  You will learn something you did not know, and it may change your opinion on things.
Capricorn - Today will be wonderful.  The energy and goodwill radiating from your body will drive all around you into deep fits of jealousy.
Aquarius - Today will be.  Be careful not to drown in the waves of summer heat.  If you eat out at a Chinese restaurant, expect an amusing fortune cookie.
Pisces - Today will be good.  An unforeseen event will help you better connect to your son and daughter.
Ophiuchus - Today will be still.  With headphones over your ears and a blindfold over your eyes, you alone cannot be touched by the summer haze.
Girls do their best now and are preparing. Please wait warmly until it is ready.

Mysterious Deaths in Silver Spring
Today, at 12:00 PM, Serako Treble (Cancer) and Angelo Cyrano Cadenza (Scorpio) will die of unknown causes.

Luck and Locusts
A link has been found between the streak of bad luck and the plague of locusts currently inhabiting Silver Spring.  According to sources, the locusts are members of a rare species known as Luck Locusts.  Luck Locusts possess the ability to steal the luck of those they bite, and carry the luck back to their nests.  If you have had close contact with a Luck Locust in the past week, it is advised that you stay indoors and away from sources of danger.  It is not advided to attempt to find the Luck Locust's nests, as they are guarded heavily.

Culprit Found in the "H.A." Murders
The culprit of the "H.A." murders has been found.  Witness reports were able to link a student from Silver Spring Industrial High School, known only as Headphone Actor (Aries), to both the Green Hills murders and the murder of Mr. Rattigan.  Headphone Actor was confronted last night outside of Moongate Park, but managed to overpower her pursuers and escape.  The Silver Spring Spirit Police Department will assemble a larger team, and attempt to apprehend Headphone Actor at 12:00 PM today.

Weather
Today's high temperature will be 102F, with lows of 93F.  A powerful storm front will move in at 1:30 AM, throwing much of Silver Spring into a blackout.  There is a 100% chance of blizzard conditions starting at 12:00 PM.  No data exists for weather conditions after 12:00 PM.
