Tobias Wayland responds well to the second edition of Ryan Sprague’s book Somewhere in the Skies: A Human Approach to the UFO Phenomenon. Wayland praises its “people emphasis” versus larger “philosophical arguments and government disclosure.” Nigel Watson, on the other hand, has nothing positive to say about Alien Abduction: The Control Factor. Watson says the […]
Tobias Wayland reacts to Luis Elizondo’s recent statements. It’s disappointing that we still read folks calling AATIP “the Pentagon’s Advanced Aviation [sic] Threat Identification Program,” but Wayland touches upon the correct high points, among them that TTSA’s lack of providing proof of provenance is rendered moot by Pentagon acknowledgement of the videos. Wayland also deals […]
A family in Cairo has found itself an unfortunate target in an unending cycle of incendiary events, seemingly the work of Djinn, the eastern folkloric equivalent of poltergeists. No amount of religious or neighborly intervention has been able to put an end to their nightmare, leaving their household in a sleepless and hyper-vigilant state. We […]
Looks like 2020 continues to keep it weird, dropping a catch of fish on a Sri Lankan village in the dry season. According to witnesses, the fish were very much alive, wriggling, and not of a type kept in aquariums. Determining the cause of this fish fall is not a clear process, however. As Esoterx […]
Cropster goes hunting for evidence to prove a 1974 yeti attack in the Nepalese mountains was in fact that, and enlists the help of fellow investigator Tony Healy for note comparison and a little comic relief. Next, in The Bluff Creek Massacre Hoax Revisited, Loren Coleman remembers the period 2007-2009 when a Bigfoot “researcher” named […]
Cropster returns to his favorite topic: stone throwing poltergeists. This first report dates back to 1876 in California and centers around a partially demolished household. Next, we return to more recent times and hear from Cropster’s co-author about the time in 1998 when Tony & Paul Meet the Humpty Doo Poltergeist. Amid a media circus […]
Cropster comes out of isolation to explain that not every weird thing that’s happening is a direct result of it being 2020. Some anomalies, like fish hanging around in puddles on the street, are actually explainable. Keeping us on track with science, ‘Red Sign’ Sky of Japanese Folklore Finally Explained. Paul Seaburn also explains how […]
Some lesser-known older stories are led by Shane Cochrane’s resurrecting a 1934 “mystery light” in the Republic of Ireland’s County Donegal. The Derry Journal source of the time transports the reader back to their investigator’s experience. Moving only slightly forward towards our time (maybe), Brent Swancer examines The Mystery of the Cape Girardeau UFO Crash. […]
It’s not very often that a public figure of some authority admits to having deeply strange experiences. But this former Australian senator not only admits to having seen a Yowie in his youth, but he has publicly shared details without fear of character assassination. We always knew the Land Down Under was progressive. But if […]
Cropster reminisces back to his days of co-authoring The Yowie (published by Anomalist Books) with Tony Healy in 2007. Standing out more than any other factor was the almost complete lack of evidence for the creature in Australia, unlike similar reports of Bigfoot anywhere else in the world. While most likely due to environmental factors […]
