Is there so much difference? The beat is exactly the same. Play them togther.

As people may or may not know I'm working over Xmas and I'm working nights. I have one night off and rather than try and switch my body-clock to normal I carried on my routine so I'm awake during the night - this means I have to be ninja-quiet and my wife shuts our bedroom door. Our home is a...

I remember a lot about my dreams when I wake up, but I couldn't tell you much about what I was wearing. Had an odd dream recently where I was in some sort of Victorian dreamscape with, lovely massively tall buildings, and I was some sort of investigator. When I woke up after telling a man...

https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Studies-Perspectives-Paranormal-Experiences/dp/1632651211 I'm started reading this, it's ok but I can't agree that a human presence is necessary for a ghost to manifest. What about ghost-related phenomena caught on camera?

Not Diggers and the other names. It was down to the fact the Brits were paid 1 shilling and the Aussie's were paid 5. Apparently it's a word that can't be said polite society.

No idea how I got to this site but fairly interesting in a hauntological way as very few people under 50 will remember her. I was never a fan - I was too young. No idea why I'm posting it. It's worth a look as it's quite strange, it's a fluff piece. Her signing the autograph for the young kid...

Having had a couple of close calls involving the sea, things can turn from the innocent to the deadly extremely quickly.

I noticed a guy on the train with what looked like a very well read bible but when I glanced over it had this symbol over what looked like a Buddha. BTW it was that symbol above so it didn't really strike me a Buddhist. So he's a follwer of Calvary chapel. Anyone know about these guys?

Never seen it myself but a lot of people think he's amazing - why?

I can't find anything about this on the MB. Occasionally, we hear about a story that intrigues us to the point that we want to pass it on. The occult case of the Netta Fornario death in Iona, Scotland is just that kind of story. Although the details surrounding her death are unsubstantiated...

media appear to stealth or normalize this practice as an ok way of coping. The BBC article suggest youngsters should seek help. But more and more celebs seem to think it's ok to talk about their self harm as a way of coping. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-41372189 I get that's it...

How does this guy keep getting executive producer roles on every syfy show and directing gigs? Most of the shows are pretty poor, Helix is so poor it's actually funny. The only reason to watch it is because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyra_Zagorsky who at least distracts you with her...

British sex bomb of the 70s. Killed herself at 33 as the police were looking at a prison term for tax evasion and shop lifting. She slept with a lot of powerful people including allegedly Harold Wilson! Some think she would have never have drunk the vodka with the pills as she found alcohol...

The mentions of "British Racing Green" and "Folk Horror" made me think of times when I was very little, (before 5 in the 1970's), and we where driving through Thetford Forest. I remember seeing a power substation or something that must have been quite new and modern but to me looked antiquated...

I cannot remember when when most of us old posters have had a genuine paranormal experience? I was thinking about this when I had my recent experience on the Minor strangeness thread. I also wondered how critical my thinking was when I was experiencing this and how lacking in Fort I was. I...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Rabbit_Project_(TV_series) Watched the first episode. The meal segment with Tory and Kari was hilarious. Still needs some work though, actually reminded me of the first couple of seasons of Mythbusters where it was quite staid in parts.

Trying to think of this TV play/movie. Thought it had Emily Mortimer in it who suffers from Tricotilomania (Can't find it so could have been another actor) Thought the male lead was Richard Coyle who has OCD. One scene at the beginning is he's washing his testicles in a sink and gets caught...

I've noticed that any pair of sunglasses I use, the ability to cut down glare gets less effective after a year or. I put this down to the crap thrown up off the roads, (carbon black from tires etc), degrading the lens when I'm cycling. Anyone know anything about sunglasses?

Anyone else seen this little gem of a horror film? Very nice - a real change from the wobbly handheld reality films or slasher pics. The central role was very well played. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014/oct/23/the-babadook-review-chilling-freudian-thriller

I've not got much on an interest in Cryptozoology, but my understanding that there was some pretty compelling evidence that some ABC's are real? Don't agree with the "will to believe" theory as people have pointed out in the comments sector. It's weak...

Thought this was a better place than chat. Yes I've seen a fair few things that are very strange. But my Fortean power is that I can spot cats that are hidden and can't be seen by other people. Sometimes they (cats), get a little annoyed but not big time. I can always see a cat that I know...

I've been hearing a few weird noises up in the attic that don't sound like a bird has been trapped, or for that matter the scratching of mice or rats or a possums here in NZ. I'm a country boy and quite familiar with what most animals sound like. I'm been meaning to go and check it out...
