    The Wilsthorpe Incident

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/854745/UFO-aliens-Wilsthorp-Incident-40-UFOs-RAF I hope that the link works, posting from a Kindle Fire and it's not the easiest of things to use. Anyway, I thought I'd mention this incident on here as I don't recall seeing it mentioned previously. Whatever...

    Hard Sun

    Did anyone watch this? I thought it was okay myself. The violence was, in a strange way, refreshingly brutal. Although the fight on the riverside was a bit overdone....after beating Hicks to the ground, Renko then stuck the boot in, almost as an afterthought. But yeah, worth watching.

    Islamic and Jewish aversion to pork.

    Apologies if we already have a thread on this, but I've never been able to work the search function properly. Anyway, in the past I've had quite a few Muslim and Jewish friends, and I've always made a point of asking them about the ban on pork and piggie products. The stock answer I have always...

    The Urge to Laugh at Inappropriate Times.

    A colleague and I were talking about this this evening. We have both experienced the urge to laugh during serious occasions, such as funerals. Is such a reaction very common? I'm sure that I've read that it is a recognised condition with its very own name. Can anyone help with more information?

    Fractional Reserve Banking.

    Do we have anyone with a deep understanding of economics on here? http://www.basicincome.com/basic_banks.htm From what I understand, when you borrow money from a bank, the bank only needs to have a percentage of that money on its books. The remainder, the difference between the amount you...

    The Woolworth Building & 9/11

    There is a mention of this in the locked 9/11 thread, but I can't find it. Either that, or I'm useless at using the search engine...which is probably nearer the mark. Anyway, I just wondered if anyone was aware of this site... http://www.orbwar.com/woolworth/

    Are You Going To The Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival?

    A mate of mine has recently joined the Pig Dyke Molly Dancers, who are, apparently, regular performers at the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival. Now, I love these kinds of traditions, but I've never heard of the Straw Bear before. I've found this, http://www.strawbear.org.uk/ ...but just...

    Zontar & The Baby Deltics

    I hope this is in the right forum. http://www.babydeltic.com/videoplanet.php Click on 'video graveyard' and then select one of the TV's. What this has to do with trains is anyone's guess. I only found it by searching for British Railways Class 55 and 23 diesel locomotives. Caution is...

    Degsy In Egypt!

    I presume scouse was a well known dialect in ancient Egypt? And the spirit guide who took Degsy over was priceless! I thought he was going to say 'Um white man speak with forked tongue, now we go and smoke um pipe of peace'. I was quite surprised to see Zaheer Abass (the Egyptian Director...

    Recent UFO sightings over North Lincolnshire and East Yorks?

    I wonder if any board members in the general area have heard or seen anything of this sort lately? I'm asking because a friend of mine took a few random snaps of the Humber Bridge as he approached it from the Lincolnshire side last Friday. Four of the photos show anomalous objects in the air...

    The Kingston Clan / Kingston Group (Latter Day Church of Christ)

    I'm not sure if this should be in this forum or 'Religions and Cults'. It seems to straddle each forum, but if it needs to be moved, then hey! I came across this group while reading a work colleagues copy of 'Marie Claire' magazine (honest...there was nothing else to read....). It seems...

    Human Safari?

    Does anyone remember reports in the press and on the TV in the early 90's about 'holidays' to Bosnia? Holidays in which the main attraction was the chance to shoot someone dead? I suddenly remembered those rumours earlier today 'cos I've just started reading 'Madness Visible' by Janine di...

    M Theory and the 11th Dimension

    I watched an old 'Horizon' on this subject this evening and very interesting it was too. Briefly, the idea seems to be that the creation of the Universe came about as a result of the collision between two 'membranes' in an infinitely long but very, very narrow 11th dimension. It seems a...

    Who Sang Me This Song?

    I'm not too sure about where to post this, but this forum seems as good a place as any. For something like the last 40 years (I'm now 47), I've had a very clear memory of being sung to sleep at night by my Dad when I was very young. The song was always the same, 'The Wild Colonial Boy', which...

    The Black Knight (Mystery Satellite(s); 1960s / 1970s)

    I've got a very vague memory of reading in the 'Daily Mirror' in the early 1970's that a huge and unknown satellite had been tracked over several weeks on a North Pole/South Pole orbit. The story was eventually forgotten, but I have subsequently read that the satellite was first discovered by...

    What's the frequency...err..Dan?

    Our Haunted Garden.

    Just a little story that some of you might be interested to hear. We live at the inner end of a terrace off a pre-First World War street. Unlike most of the other houses around here, we are lucky enough to have a garden. It's actually the site of two houses which were damaged by bombs in the...

    I'm Famous And Cashing My Cheque

    Anybody been watching this? It's classic TV. Julie Goodyear got in touch with Pat Pheonix last night, and Pat appeared to say, from the 'other side', that fags are okay!! How come Albert Tatlock or Stan Ogden didn't turn up? Hyperbolix, I hope you're watching this. It's great! They...

    Bears On Hackney Marshes

    Not very Fortean I know, but someone has just asked me if I remembered a story about brown bears getting loose on Hackney Common. I don't remember this at all. Has anyone heard of it?

    Not Frightening, Just Odd ... (Strange Kitchen Events)

    I hope I'm in the right forum here. A few nights ago, I was chopping vegetables for my two pet guinea pigs. I made two little piles on the chopping board, one for each pig. I took the first pile into the room where the pigs live, fed one and returned to the kitchen for the rest. When I got...

    The Little Blue Man (Studham Common; January 1967)

    Does anyone have any recollection of this story? Two girls were walking across a common (somewhere in the South East of England), when they encountered a little blue man, who apparently grinned at them,and then disappeared into thin air. I thought I'd read it in 'The Readers Digest Book of...

    Phantom News Broadcasts

    I came across a letter in FT164 this afternoon. It concerned a woman who claims that she watched a Sky TV broadcast about an earthquake in South America. The earthquake didn't actually happen and the lady was somewhat confused to say the least. The most interesting thing was that she took down...
