Like the swallows and swifts signifying Summer, the Monoliths return to the hills, heralding the springtime!

I like this, It had a nice ending, but it also has the perfect mixture of dramatic rescue elements. Actual visible danger - signified by flames, billowing smoke etc The person in danger - also clearly visible The sudden arrival of CRANE MAN's cage. The few moments of genuine tummy-ice as the...

I know EXACTLY the sound / impression that you are describing. I'm just at a loss as to the 'science of the acoustics' behind it. Because when I experienced this I was in a tunnel and it sounds like you're in the open air, But there was a place I worked for a bit, that had a tunnel that created...

OK, I've decided to reply to, and not edit my post earlier today. Dreamt (this AM) I was on the headland (Lincolnshire side) looking at the Humber bridge, I had that slightly odd dream-state viewpoint in that while I was stood looking at the bridge, I seemed also to have an awareness of a...

Humber Bridge, Partial or complete collapse. White Van & Car This had been playing on my mind all morning, but I'm at work and only got a min to do this, I'll edit my poste later, But I just wanted this up and time stamped.

Rather surprised to be resurrecting an old thread, but doing some reading yesterday, I suddenly thought "Hang on a mo... there's something about this on the FTMB" If you scroll up and read Waymarker's odd experiences overnight while camping in a bit of farmland scrub near Weston, Spalding. Well...

Well into adult hood I have always had an wariness about cans of soft drinks, beer, anything that have been left visually unattended for a few minutes in the summer months, I put this down to seeing a schoolmate nearly swallow (And get stung on the lip) by a wasp that had landed on and climbed...

OK, There is a bit of Sussex folklore that might fill yer boots in regards to the above. Namely The Midsummer Oak at Broadwater, Worthing. Local legend has it that skeletons rose on Midsummer Eve and danced hand in hand around the tree until cock crow. The tree’s site is now a triangle of land...

Slightly light-hearted, but stick with me. Someone on Twitter brought to my attention work by the Kraków based artist Joanna Karpowicz, who has painted a whole series of utterly charming pieces about an Anubis character wandering modern settings. Some of them look almost like painted...

I searched but couldn't find a specific thread on this. Edit: Thanks to the mod for merging, I honestly DID search but couldn't see anything related. Prompted by this video popping into my timeline on other social media, with my interest being piqued by people commenting initially on how...

STORY TIME!!! At the very end of the 90s I was living in Swindon in a shared student house. It was Summer holiday but being poor and needing to work at a local bar job I stayed on in the house while my flatmates went back to their respective towns. 1st day on my own I settled down at the table...

That's my point, Chalk drawings / painted symbols, small piles of brightly coloured pebbles, could all be unusual signs. But in the countryside, especially right now in the MIDST of harvest time, such a ubiquitous material is everywhere, on my usual dog walk there' a post by a footpath entry...

OK this might be legit, but there's something of the chalk "Thief Marks" trope in this. I'm a country lad and know orange baler twine ends up EVERYWHERE. Link to story: Hereford Times Mr P.

Unexplained 'Security Issue' Keeps National Solar Observatory Facility Shuttered. It's been more than a week, and a National Solar Observatory (NSO) facility in New Mexico is still closed for an undisclosed "security issue." The NSO's Sunspot Solar Observatory, on Sacramento Peak in the...

This was on Reddit earlier this morning, consensus there was that was a demolition charge. The white flash is the fuse line. So, apparently not lightning.

Simple reason, is it's the same video, but someone is filming the fixed security camera footage (presumably off a monitor) using their hand held mobile phone. Probably because they wanted to share it, but couldn't be hassled / didn't have permissions / tech know-how to download the original Cam...

The collective-bored-curious hive mind over at Reddit, have possibly (but by no way officially) identified a likely passenger jet that this might have dropped off. https://np.reddit.com/r/nevertellmetheodds/comments/7wlys4/chunk_of_ice_falls_off_airplane/du1imsc/

OOOH thanks Bigphoot2 I hadn't heard of that one! But YES, that's the kind of category I was thinking of. There was a certain account (and it might not have been from FT) can only recall scant details, but was someone seeing late at night a "really rubbish robot" with sticking out arms...

Friend who does visuals for TV stuff put me onto this a few weeks back but forgot t post it, Channel 4's new station indent fillers are out and I for one think they have a certain Fortean charm. C4: Ident 1 Feels very "Iron Giant" (much loved children's book for those not lucky enough...

Thanks... I'll hold on and hope. I'm not sure what the point of subscribing is, when it seems you get penalised for paying upfront for a year, by having to wait for 3 weeks after it arrives in the newsagents...

Any other UK subscribers still waiting on their issue of 359? Cos I bloody am!

'the being-wells of the spaces under the stairs' There is a nagging familiarity to that, it certainly has a Lovecraft Creature-from-the-space-beyond-geometry sort of feel to it. Also a bit Alan Moore in his more esoteric moments. Whatever it's a wonderful line, and if no-none claims it you...

Someone on Reddit put me onto the Mysteries Abound podcast series. http://www.originz.info/Originz/Mysteries_Abound_Show_Notes/Mysteries_Abound_Show_Notes.html (this is the episode list NOT the podcast) You listen to the podcast here: http://www.talkshoe.com/tc/21864 I am currently only a...

I edited and added the full 2hr stream, it doesn't all happen at once, and stuff does occur off camera.

It's a livestream so kinda the whole point is the camera being on. I don't get you, do you mean because it's on camera it's inadmissible or something? Mr P

This appeared on Reddit, earlier this morning. Basically a chap called Rubzy, who live-streams himself playing games with other people has a series of events going on in the flat he was cat-sitting in. he writes... "So a little run down on what happened.. I was streaming from my buddy's...

Micro / localised rainstorm. I don't have anymore info, the video just appeared in my feed on Youtube. The location appears to be South America? Someone suggests an explanation may be a burst pipe on the roof of an adjacent building, being night time it's hard to see, but it does appear to...

Sorry everyone, I'm away from home & away form a copy of the mag otherwise I'd look it up myself, but I have a bundle I need to post otherwise they will invariably get lost. Could anyone furnish me with the current fort clippings mailing address? Cheers Mr P

Interestingly there ARE 19th Century (Victorian) accounts of the Hum or hummadruzz as they termed it. I copy this (below) from pages discussing the hum on the Northern Earth Website I know there are a few other accounts but frustratingly these are the only ones I can find right now. I...

I'm bumping this in the hope Mr T-H is still about, I'm really interested in the "hanging Skeleton of Bushy Wood"? Could you recount what you remember of it? I can't find anything online, but it sounds like a story I've been told from anther part of the UK. Would love to know more? Mr P

I make no apologies, I've had a crap week, and this has at least brought a smile. Trevor Moore presents Kitty Histories...you will need sound, but it seem pertinent to the forum (stick with it, it really gets going by the 1 minute mark) A work colleague I showed it to, watched it...

Not sure how many people here play video games, but currently on Steam, there is an adventure game called "Kholat" which is taking as its starting point, the Dyatlov Pass incident! (and it's narrated by everyone's favourite Yorkshire man / Stark / Sharpe / Boromir Sean Bean) Link to game page...

OK, since last posting here, people are claiming to have heard more of these explosions / bangs last night in other locations? Source Mirror online A few people I follow on Twitter have mentioned hearing a loud explosion around 10pm last night. Only one of them is in Norfolk and the...

Following on from the Manchester Boom on the 25th it seems there was a mystery "explosion sound" in the early hours of today (29th November) in the Catterick North yorks area. A1 has been closed by the police all day BBC news reports it here Oddly a friend who is up there...

I agree some kind of undersea crack opening up sounds right but the lights look "round" and then there this... Which sounds odd and not very volcanic?

Now this odd. The story comes from the website of a chap called JPC Van Heist, who is an aviation photographer. Last night he was 5 hours into a flight from Japan heading towards Alaska and seems to have caught something quite strange. he writes: The webpage with the all important...

Interesting quote from the concerned Rochdale parent. (my bold emphasis below) It suggests there is a full blown school-rumour-urban-legend-event going on at the minute. reminds me of the Skinhead gang rumours mentioned in FT a few times, and in my School in the 80s It was murderous knife...
