The strange doesn’t necessarily require cryptids or the paranormal. Simply finding something well out of its usual environment can be enough to leave us scratching our heads. This first example is from 2013 and involves a couple of college kids on a long road trip late at night, and a very large stag sauntering onto […]
We have the perfect prescription for anyone (all of us) needing respite from the endless disaster movie that is 2020-2021. Distraction! And by distraction we mean researcher and filmmaker Karac St. Laurent has released a new documentary–about a hairy, manlike creature in this New Hampshire town–as an homage to the cryptid documentaries of the the […]
There’s a reason why iconic horror movie trailers often include scenes with children: Kids Are Terrifying. Not all kids, mind you, but the ones mixed up with the unexplained can keep you up at night. The “child” in this first story caused an exceptional amount of upset, being spotted at night on a major road […]
We’ve all read witness accounts of what surely must be Bigfoot encounters, only for them to be dismissed by authorities as run ins with bears. This story is for all the experiencers out there who doubt themselves, because unless the Hairy Man has gone on a bender and developed a beer pooch, there is no […]
A reconstructed home in Georgia, originally located in what is now a conservation area, has been a source of nonstop strange activity since a family moved into it in 2016. Most incidents are frightening but harmless, many involving family cellphones, as whatever is causing the anomalies likes to be heard and acknowledged. But as we […]
A trio of 4-legged mysteries today, starting with a big cat sighting out of Australia that includes a photograph. Unfortunately the photo only shows the latter end of the animal, so it could just as easily be a black lab as a black panther. Cryptid encounters seldom turn out with decent photographs though, and when […]
One thing computers probably won’t do is reliably spit out winning lottery numbers. Consider the tale of Deng Pravatoudom, by way of Tobias and Emily Wayland, and how a second try based upon a dream made his family’s dreams come true. And what about all those offline brains languishing in hospices around the world? Ben […]
A curious aerial display earlier this month has Tobias and Emily Wayland–and us–a bit perplexed. Tin Binnall shares an Odd Trio of UFOs Spotted in NYC. That video possesses interest, while what’s shown off North Carolina’s Outer Banks following a “Tardis ride” back to November could be military flares. Undine takes us ‘way back to […]
A huntress was chilling with her fellow hunters around a bonfire one night in 2012 when something big enough to inspire thoughts of “Bear!” came stomping through the woods. For the record, the only violence that ensued was on the part of the people with guns, not the unfortunate beastie that left behind a trail […]
This new book by author Tim Marczenko is an “exploration” of folklore concerning unseen “trickster spirits and faeries” who speak to humans, which sometimes results in death or disappearance. Meanwhile, Nick Redfern looks at A Handful of Freaky Cases Concerning Tulpas: The “Thought-Formâ€� Phenomenon. He cautions us that “creating a mind-monster rarely has a positive […]
