I'll be super shocked if anyone has any idea what I'm talking about, but I remember reading this short story back when I was but a callow youth back in the early 90's (could have been written before, but not too long before as I'll come onto); a couple, devastated by the death/suicide (can't...

So, my partner, who is a resident of Middlesbrough, has decided that for Halloween she wants to go somewhere "spooky" for a late night walk. Now, not being from those parts myself, I have no clue if there is anywhere open to the public at night where we could do this, and Google seems to be of...

It has been many moons since I last posted in these here parts, so I thought I’d return with a tale to tell. The tale of the door that rattled… In July 2011, a girlfriend and I decided to have a few days break in Liverpool. I had booked an apartment for the visit, so it gave us more...

I'm currently off work sick (I can hear the "...aawwws..." from here...), and have been catching up with a load of books on mysteries and such bought when I was but a callow youth, and have remained unread since. I'm sure you know the sort of thing: printed on cheap paper with fairly...

Having just had a day of watching some questionable films that have a Fortean bent, which I happen to love, I was just wondering what everybody else's guilty Fortean pleasures are. If another, similar thread exists, feel free to merge. The films in question were: Biggles:Adventures In Time -...
