    It Happened To Me! Then I Realised It Hadn't

    The same thing happened to me over the period of a week on middle of the night walks in college, I referred to it as my owl stalker/good omen.

    Nasty Things Found In Food & Drink

    With utmost respect to vegans, isn't it inevitable to eat an insect at one point or another, in a salad, etc. just breathing............why make a fuss over this when there are much more important issues going on, with say, livestock, cruelty to animals and what have you.

    Abandoned, Disused & Ruined Places

    Absolutely lovely photographs. I adore the one of the Boiler Plant with the trees growing out where the roof used to be.

    Abandoned, Disused & Ruined Places

    I just passed by this old train station in Buffalo, NY. It's been abandoned for decades. http://www.opacity.us/site1_buffalo_cen ... rminal.htm I was actually ON a train as I passed by, and was pleasantly surprised by the site of a few deer munching on dry, overgrown grass in front of the...

    The Eggman—Including The Monster Of Glamis Castle

    Wonderful article, and I enjoyed the comments as well. They mention The Maze as being a film loosely based on the legend.

    That's fantastic Rynner thank you for sharing! It's strange as I have come across references to this book and film four times in the past week!

    Ken Russell Video Obit: Scenes of Nudity & Flamboyance

    I'm dying to see the Alice film by Claude Chabrol. I'd have to know more about how developed the Ken Russell Alice is before saying how I feel about it, but I am curious. Not sure who could bring it to screen properly though.

    The Shout

    I love nearly everything about this film, from Alan Bates to John Hurt to the general style of visuals AND of course, that crazy synthesizer room! One of my favorites.

    Strange Girl In The Pound Shop

    Wanted to make a quick note.........I am watching an episode of the Twilight Zone titled "Hocus Pocus and Mr.Frisby", based on an untitled story by Frederic Louis Fox, written for the small screen by Rod Serling. It seems to be an early example of MIB characters mixed with Human Imposters...

    Strange Girl In The Pound Shop

    If I can take a guess, it's like a dollar store in America.......a bargain shop were everything is priced at around a dollar or a pound?

    Strange Girl In The Pound Shop

    Thank you Mooksta! It is rather improbable for Americans to be unaware of pizza! If they were from the future, I guess we have being tiny and crooked to look forward to?

    Strange Girl In The Pound Shop

    Very interesting story! Can you explain in a little more detail how she was acting caused the shopkeeper to be so obviously concerned for her well being? Also, does anyone have links to that story about Americans in Scotland or similar tales? I love this subject and cannot find anything...

    Forest Boy, Ray: The Return of Kaspar Hauser

    Could it be this isn't a photograph of a real person? I know that sounds ridiculous, as what would the motive for creating a random story such as this be, but I wonder! The whole thing is really odd. As was mentioned, why would this boy not remember anything from his past, including names...

    Forest Boy, Ray: The Return of Kaspar Hauser

    Forgive me if this has been touched upon, as I believe I have read the entire thread but could have missed some points. Does it look to anyone else like the photograph of "Ray" is a collaged composite of features? There is something truly off about that picture that I can't put down to just...

    Minor Strangeness (IHTM)

    Really interesting that it seems you and Quetzy noticed the same thing. Lessens the chances of hallucination on your part. Something more mysterious indeed. An ancient Aztec God trying to get his namesake free, perhaps?

    Is It Illegal To Embed Glass In Your Wall To Deter Would-Be Intruders?

    There is a Monastery near my park that is enclosed in a 10 foot stone wall with this type of glass embedded in cement along the top of the entire wall's perimeter. I have photos somewhere, but was completely shocked to see such an aggressive defense for group of religious men :oops:

    Strange 'Kid' On A Boat Ramp

    Wow. I don't know, that sounds really creepy............very much like a BEK story. I wonder if anyone else from the area has seen anything like this? Local legends, perhaps? It sounds like he wanted to get you isolated in the middle of the lake............. :shock:

    A Taxi Man's Tale

    :D Makes me think of the only episode of the American Office I have ever seen. The boss and his right hand man are trying to travel around the state giving out tacky gift baskets to old clients to renew business. They become lost while using a GPS device and turn right into a pond because...

    A Taxi Man's Tale

    I think we can definitely continue the conversation and expect interesting responses while enjoying a bit of tongue in cheek banter every once in a while. I am enjoying this thread immensely. The only strange cabbie incident I ever had was when the driver wouldn't listen to my directions...

    The mystery of the 'Poe Toaster'

    Someone should play it for the current pope.

    Please help me find this most intriguing thread...

    I remember this IHTM very well. Sigh. Wasn't there something about a throbbing triangle? Or perhaps something along reaching in the pinhole and tearing the air like paper to crawl inside? :oops:

    Ah, thank you Coaly. :) Hmmm.....so are you suggesting they were all after a snack?

    Escorted By Grateful Birds (?)

    Lovely story, thank you for sharing. Who knows if it was anything significant.....what's the word for when we imbue human feelings/motivations to animals? It could be a case of that, or something all the more spectacular. I just adore birds, so I prefer the latter.

    The Scariest Fortean Thing Ever To Happen To You

    I used to go down there in college, before they blocked off the entrance and exit. No joke, it happened after a particularly scandalous outdoor party that led to a police raid. Just a harmless bunch of artists and some bonfires, dancing. Local news reported satanic art students the next day on...

    Phantom Finger prints on eyeglasses

    Yeah, it is weird. Hmmm. It's always t he little things, isn't it. :) I wear contacts and hardly ever wear my glasses. My newer pair broke, so now I have the ones from when I was 18 temporarily. Doesn't much matter if there are smudges or not, they're horrible lol.

    The Macho Being a Closet Gay UL?

    Ah, I get it I was confused by the title of your thread vs. the anecdote. I don't think there is any right or wrong answer. And i know plenty of macho men that are not gay. I think gay and straight people come in all different types and don't fit the stereotypes urban legends or any social...
