    Comte De Saint Germain

    Well, I did ask him. As it turns out, it wasn't his dad. It was his former step-father (long-since deceased). They found it when he moved out of the house and went to live in a neighbouring village. It was years ago and he never kept in touch with the guy. Unfortunately, he can't really remember...

    Comte De Saint Germain

    Couldn't tell you off hand, I'm afraid, but I'll certainly ask him for more details and report back if you like. Do you have a theory?

    Comte De Saint Germain

    My mate's Dad bought a house a few years back. In one room there was a bricked-up fireplace. They decided they'd like to use it though and went about opening it back up. When they removed the bricks, whaddaya think they found?... An old black and white print of the Comte de Saint Germain...

    Minor Strangeness (IHTM)

    Well, reading the link, it says that the tone recorded was around 15kHz. If that's the case, then chances are it never would've made it onto the final record. Sergeant Pepper was recorded on a 4-track, by mixing tracks down together multiple times for all instruments. Each time you do that, you...

    Minor Strangeness (IHTM)

    I'll definitely be giving you a voice make-over from now on. Actually, maybe the mods could add a profile tag for 'preferred voice / accent'? In the meantime, if you could replace your 'th's with 's' and 'z' and drop your 'h's when typing, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

    Minor Strangeness (IHTM)

    Your post don't generally give off a drony vibe. Just as experiment, I tried reading you posts back in my head with various voices. Kenneth Williams didn't suit you at all; neither did Ali G or Sheldon Cooper. My favourite was just giving you a chirpy French accent like Antoine de Caune. I...

    Shakespeare

    1) There are no known handwritten manuscripts by any professional playwright of the era period. Not by Shakespeare, not by Johnson, not by Marlow, not by anyone. It would be remarkable if even one did exist! 2) Shakespeare's will mostly only deals with money and land. He does name a couple of...

    Satanic Society

    Hmmm... Can of worms time. I'm certainly no expert. I'm not a christian, jew, muslim or satanist either and don't want to put words in anyone's mouth, but I have heard this before and will give you my understanding for what it's worth. Do you're own fact-checking though. So, the first part of...

    Worst Movie EVER?

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned 'It Happened One Weekend' (aka 'It Happened on Sunday' aka 'Scalet Warning 666' aka 'Secret Love' aka 'Rockey's Style' aka 'Love Deep Inside') on this thread yet. This could well be a classic if the genre. Long considered lost, it was a vanity project by one...

    Which Fortean Mysteries Would You Like To See Solved?

    Why boil it down to just those two possibilities? Here are a few more: 1- It's all absolutely true 2- He's a nut (i.e. delusional) 3- He's just an attention-seeking liar 4- He thinks he's telling the truth, but he was actually fed a load of bullshit to distract him from the real truth of what...

    The Dogon & The Sirius Mystery

    There's an online copy of the FT article about the Dogon / Sirius thing a few years ago here: http://www.philipcoppens.com/dogonshame.html The conclusion is that the whole thing is hogwash. Draw your own conclusions, but I'm afraid that I have to agree. The further you dig into it, the less...

    The Mandela Effect: False Memory

    Broom is a blogger with a theory, and that's all it is? Er, yeah... And that's all it claims to be. I was just offering you some background information on where the idea comes from. I'm not sure what you were expecting here. Your question was whether anyone remembers Nelson Mandela dying in...

    Scientology

    Fair point. As a lot of the commentors on the blog post point out, these organisations will do whatever it takes to advance themselves. At least the US Nazis and the BNP share some of the NOI's beliefs (up to a point) though. The NOI throwing itself heart and soul into dianetics is a bit of a...

    The Mandela Effect: False Memory

    Granted, he does jump onto the couch for all of split second, before immediately jumping off again. There's no bouncing up and down. Also, all he says is a quick "Yes!" If he hadn't been acting like a knob for the whole interview, it would've been immediately forgotten about.

    Another good example would be the collective memory of Tom Cruise childishly jumping up and down on Oprah Winfrey's sofa, boisterously declaring his love for Katie Holmes. Remember that? It didn't happen! http://www.ew.com/article/2014/05/20/tom-cruise-oprah-couch...

    Swastikas & Disputes About The Swastika Symbol

    I recently visited Spike Island in Co. Cork; a former fortress and prison island in Cork harbour. In the museum there, they had a collection of old photographs showing the handover of Haulbowline Island (a naval base on the neighbouring island) from the UK navy to the Irish Free State in 1938...

    Jack The Ripper (Compendium Thread)

    I doubt it. The passage of time isn't the only issue here. The whole thing with Jack the Ripper is the mystery and legends surrounding it. The Yorkshire Ripper was caught, hence there's no mystery and therefore a very different kind if interest. If JTR had been caught, I seriously doubt there...

    Non-Ghostly 'Ghost Trains' In the UK

    Not as such, but there's a saying I've heard from a couple of Russians; it goes something like, "The severity of the law is off-set by the fact that it's never enforced." Basically, the place is full of uniformed jobs-worth sorts with very little to do except enforce absurd rules that come in...

    Pluto - the last great encounter in planetary exploration

    What about the other dwarf planets? There are 5 confirmed to date and several more 'probables' waiting to be confirmed. So far we've only visited 2; Pluto being only the second! Eris in particular seems to be a pretty interesting prospect. Roughly the same size as Pluto - very slightly smaller...

    Bradford City Stadium Fire (1985)

    Bradford City Stadium Fire (1985)

    Just playing devils's advocate here; there's one paragraph here that doesn't seem to add up. Which workforce? If the workforce in question wasn't the staff of Bradford City FC, how would an insurance scam generating money for Bradford City FC be of any benefit to another company? That could...

    Jack The Ripper (Compendium Thread)

    Well, there are lots of names in the frame for the killings, mostly latter-day speculation, but given the alleged connection with Kosminski, I'm simply saying that it would be a good place to start, that's all. Yeah, but there are a lot of lost records, plus the fact that different officers...

    Jack The Ripper (Compendium Thread)

    Yes, all true, but the question was 'why choose Kosminski to DNA test for?' If you want a place to start, Kosminksi, regardless of any unknown variables would be the sensible, or indeed only place to start. Did the identification happen? Dunno TBO, and neither does anyone else. It's...

    Jack The Ripper (Compendium Thread)

    Actually, it does make sense that Kosminski would be the one to test for. The Eddowes attack was the only murder to have an eye witness. The witness later identified Kosminski during a police interview but refused to testify. There are varying accounts by different members of the police team...

    Bedroom tax? My spare room is occupied ... by a demon!

    Bedroom tax? My spare room is occupied ... by a demon!

    I'm not sure that immigration's an issue here. It all depends on the timing. If the demon entered the UK before the Aliens Act 1905 and has been resident since, then it will be considered a British subject.

    Fortean Music Videos

    Yeah, seems odd that they left it in. Having said that, if you watch closely, he seems to start falling over before the van passes. It's not clear whether it's actually the van that sends him sprawling. Maybe the guy collapsed and it's just a coincidence. Still pretty weird either way. Could it...

    Bedroom tax? My spare room is occupied ... by a demon!

    More questions than answers here. How did the demon get a council house? Do they accept applications from demons? How are they prioritised? Does she actually sub-let to the demon? If so, that's gotta be a bad move! If she gets re-housed, does the demon have to pay the rent? If so, can...
