    These Roads Lead... Where?

    I managed to post a damaged link. Here's the proper location: http://hiddenexperience.blogspot.co.uk/ There's an article on the left of the page about owls that you might find interesting. I use the term 'abduction' very loosely - more like an interaction with other non-human...

    These Roads Lead... Where?

    This is a really interesting thread. I have to say that there are a lot of features in this that match very closely those that are correlated with so-called alien/UFO abduction. It seems to start with an owl, which is a very famous element of 'screen memories', and seeing oriental...

    Very, very weird cloud

    It wasn't that big, really. A fairly small little raincloud. It may have been jumbo sized, possibly twice as big. Maybe thumbnail sized when your hand is held at arm's length.

    Very, very weird cloud

    On Saturday, about 5.40 in the afternoon, I saw a very, very strange shape/effect in a cloud. You can see a photo i took with my phone here: oi49.tinypic.com/eq36gw.jpg As you can see, there's a weird striping or ribbed effect in the cloud in the centre-left of the image. These were like...

    Buddhism

    A lot of nonsense has been written about Osel, so he wrote this letter as a clarification: Dear Friends, It is important to have a good experience of what life is. I have been really lucky to be able to experience both western and eastern cultures and I am so grateful to everyone who...

    The Most Frightening Or Unnerving Song

    It's amazing that the whole industrial/noise scene kicked off about 30 years ago and I don't think it's been beaten in terms of aggressiveness and commentary. Interesting to see what SPK's Graeme Revell has been up to since music wise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Revell

    The Most Frightening Or Unnerving Song

    David Icke & His Work

    From the advert for Icke's new book: His most staggering revelation is that the Earth and the collective human mind is manipulated from the Moon, which, he says, is not a ‘heavenly body’, but an artificial construct – a gigantic ‘spacecraft’ (probably a hollowed-out 'planetoid') – which is...

    The essence of all the religions is one and the same

    Indeed. Buddha specifically denied that there was such a thing as a creator god. That he didn't is something of a religious urban myth. Also, Buddhism with a god makes nosense whatsoever. How can reality be called 'unborn, unmade and unbecome' if it was actually made by a god? The absence of...

    Classic Archive Merged: Sleep Paralysis?

    I've not posted here in a while, but I think that this story's worth telling. I've not had a history of sleep problems or sleep paralysis, but I did have a night hag experience a month or so ago. I woke up to find I couldn't move. Having read about this kind of thing from FT and...

    I've not seen Alien vs. Predator, since I'm too much of a fan of the originals to do something that horrible to my eyeballs. There is, however, an excellent AvP graphic novel (and ordinary novel of the same story) that was released years ago - and it would've made a seriously good film. I...

    Robbie Williams: Chaos Magician!

    Dreams (You've Dreamed; Compendium)

    Re: Nightmares Thanks for that. They manage to get across that bizarre nightmare logic. It's interesting how many seem to have a 'message' to them that is just under the surface. I have very vivid dreams, and it always seems that they have a meaning, but I can never remember enough (or be...

    Thundersnow

    I experienced thundersnow either last winter or the one before that during a very heavy snow fall in Newport, S. Wales. This was about 5/6 in the afternoon as I was leaving work. It was quite impressive, and lasted for what seems to be a comparitavely long time, judging from what I've read...

    Seeing 'Life Force'?

    No, it's not auras. It's a combination of two facts: The human eye makes very small micro movements, even when it seems like they're still. When you stare at something for even a short time, then the retina gets tired, and you end up with a ghost image 'flaoting' in your vision while the...

    What Drew You to Forteana?

    I can say four things drew me to it: I read a book on ghosts when I was very little, one of the Usbourne ones. It seriously terrified me, but drew me in... Later on, my nan collected those cards that were given away free in PG Tips boxes about various unexplained things. I still remember...

    A Scanner Darkly - the film

    By "properly done", I mean the distinctly Dickish way of really undermining the sense of reality via his stories. Those that have been turned into films have usually been toned down in this regard, and turned into plain, but good, sci-fi. I think I'm one of the few people on the planet who...

    Electric Noise?

    I think I might know what this was - the repair strip was possibly covering an electromagnetic sensor for detecting when a car had passed over it. Such things are used to measure the traffic on a section of road, tell traffic lights when to change, open barriers etc. Combine this with a strong...

    Are you positive you had turned the light off? And that no-one else was there? If you are certain, then it seems you do have something rather odd going on. It might be worth making a checklist to go through before leaving the house to be 101% sure - a bit OCD, but also very good...

    Moving Photographs

    I used to have similar dreams as a kid, and often they'd feature supposedly inanimate things moving - sometimes due to a poltergeist, and sometimes not. I think there's something interesting in such dreams, and I think they might relate to a fear of losing control. They also seem to be...

    Moving Photographs

    I used to be freaked out by the idea of moving pictures as a child - I'd got the idea from the term "moving pictures" as in cinema, but in that odd child logic, thought it referred to ordinary photos in a picture frame.

    Robocop

    I agree completely. Apart from the lack of robotic policemen, most of Robocop's become true. Ironically, the media/corporate machine that was being satirised in Robocop is what's causing it to be remade - pumping out crap for money. It's like some weird postmodern snake eating its own tail.

    Dune: Your Views
