Mysterious Rock-Throwing in Joa̤aba, Brazil РThe Fortean
thefortean.com

Cropster’s newest report on rock throwing polts comes from rural Brazil, and while there are signs it could be a prank, authorities have yet to determine its source. The size of the incoming rocks and the frequency of the attacks is increasing the overall fear in the community, and baffled police are recommending spiritual intervention. […]

Poltergeist Throws Stones in Bindura, Zimbabwe – The Fortean
thefortean.com

We have another report from Cropster of an ill-mannered polt throwing stones in Zimbabwe. Authorities can find no earthly cause for the rocks falling from the sky. Worse, anyone who has commented negatively on the phenomenon has themselves fallen victim to the rain of pebbles. On a different note, we also have Ghosts Counting Oranges. […]

Three North American Ice Falls – The Fortean
thefortean.com

The sky is falling again, or at least chunks of ice are falling from it, and as usual no one wants to be held accountable. While it seems obvious the ice falls are originating with overhead planes, officials are deep in denial and the folks on the ground are left dealing with the literal fallout […]

Bury Me in St Finbarr's – Fortean Ireland
forteanireland.blogspot.com

Shane Cochrane expands on a recent story published in the Irish Examiner regarding a “ghost” in 1853 Cork that was known for throwing stones. Fortunately, once public interest faded in the strange goings-on, the authorities were able to investigate the situation in earnest. (We won’t spoil the ending for you.) Since we’re on the topic […]

The Hairy Man of the Kowmung River – The Fortean
thefortean.com

This encounter is both puzzling and intriguing. The creature encountered falls somewhat under the category of Yowie, but also under that of feral human. Perhaps they are one and the same? In any case the witness report is detailed and has a nice, unembellished feel to it. This next report, however is quite clear in […]

Cappy Ricks & The Stones – The Fortean
thefortean.com

Here we have a report on a stone throwing (more like stone whipping) poltergeist from 1939. Written by an Australian naval officer, it’s an especially well detailed account, and interestingly the lieutenant was able to connect the activity to the 13-year-old nanny who was appointed to watch his children. Hmmm, we can’t imagine why a […]

Strange Tracks in the Barrington Tops – The Fortean
thefortean.com

Cropster digs deeper into the Yowie phenomenon in Australia and ponders why so few footprints have been noted, unlike its Sasquatch counterpart in North America. In investigative mode, he unearths some evidence of Yowie prints, although certainly far fewer in number and with anatomical differences from what Bigfoot researchers might be accustomed to finding. Nick […]

The Monster of the Blue Mountains – The Fortean
thefortean.com

Cropster does some digging into reports of the Yowie in Australia. What makes this particular piece doubly intriguing is that sightings are focused in more populated areas, with neighborhoods and street signs and numerous witnesses. Does this mean a mundane evening stroll after dinner could become a monster hunt? “Hunting Monstersâ€� – A Lecture Reviewed […]

The Yowie at Bunyip – The Fortean
thefortean.com

This report comes from a credible source in Bunyip, Australia, and describes an encounter with a very tall, hairy hominid that seemed to interact peacefully with the witness’s livestock. A subsequent sketch revealed a creature similar to a Yowie, but with sufficient variation to dismiss the notion of the sighting being faked or imagined. And […]

Black Rain in Ihitte Okwe – The Fortean
thefortean.com

An autonomous community in Nigeria has been beset by strangeness recently, with a typical rainfall that became not so typical. Black water filled the streets and cisterns, leaving behind no clue to its origins. The Cropster is doing his own investigation which we hope turns up nothing that could have contaminated the community’s water supply. […]
