Malcolm Smith takes a long look at the concept of children raised by animals and debunks the myth quite eloquently. However, feral children are still a possibility which should come as no surprise to our readers who are parents. Seriously though, Strange Tales of Portals to Other Dimensions will have you wondering just how much […]

Between 1980 and 1992 John Timmerman exhibited photos from the Center for UFO Studies at 92 malls in the United States. He heard so many amazing stories from people that he began recording them. Here Malcolm Smith recounts four of those stories. Two of them have nothing to do with UFOs. But one 1976 story […]

Malcolm Smith provides a short look into small humanoid encounters, most of them with young humans. It’s interesting that in most of these cases the little people travel in vehicles that would be especially interesting to youthful witnesses, and it’s tempting to lump them all together into an arena different from UFOs per se and […]

Malcom Smith makes it pretty clear that he is very skeptical that a Sasquatch-like creature could live in the midst of population dense areas in the Pyrenees mountains, and he also reminds us that a “photo by itself does not prove anything.” The distant figure in the photo shot by a tourist in 2011 is […]

Malcom Smith sets out to uncover the true identity of the supposed sea serpent reported off the coast of Perth in 1900. Was it an actual sea monster or just a case of lazy journalism? And Karl Shuker is on the same track as he tries to solve similar cases of sea monsters From mini-rex […]

Malcom Smith takes on a subject which he says can go either way-into the Anomalies file or into the Cryptid File–the infamous, ever-elusive Thunderbird.

He leans towards the basilsaurids theory and believes that whatever they are, Lake monsters do not belong to “any order of animals which have lungs” which […]

Malcolm Smith poses this question as he returns to a book from his childhood called The Great Encyclopædia of Universal Knowledge (1938) and ends with an examination of the recently published book Seeing Fairies by Marjorie T. Johnson. This book is chock full of paranormal experiences of the diminutive sort–sightings of fairy folk. There’s plenty […]

Malcom Smith delivers what just may be the most comprehensive, indepth book review we’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. If not out of all genres, definitely the most complete of all cryptozoology books. The book, “The Tasmanian Tiger: Extinct or Extant?” covers all aspects of research and evidence of the existence of the Tasmanian […]

In some cases, literally. Malcom Smith cracks open the creaky door into the dusty, musty diocesan exorcist records in the Church of England and finds out that their duties were largely concentrated on dealing with poltergeists. However, a polt cannot be exorcised according to most experts, so what do the exorcists do in that case? […]
