    Lost Dutch Colony???

    I might have mentioned the idea of a lost dutch colony in Australia before. It's an intriguing idea and one that I find quite plausible. The problem is that there is not very much to back it up. At the era in question, the Dutch were in their East Indies colony, so it is quite possible that...

    In the book Where Death Delights, by Marshall Houts, Milton Helpern, the one-time Chief Medical Examiner of New York City tells of people who sensed that their own deaths were quite near and called family in to say farewell, or in one case, made a long walking journey to a particular church so...

    Watervale, SA Disappearance?

    Not certain what to make of this. It's a strange enough story, the only thing is I can't find hide no hair of it anywhere except on this video. Watervale is a real town in South Australia, about 100 km north of Adelaide but a google search turned up nothing on Marie , and the sane results were...

    Belle Starr

    Here is the wiki article on her. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Starr I noticed one oddity from the article. The problem with what Eaton says is there is no record of Watson's execution. I searched the Espy database, both by state (Oklahoma and Arkansas) and turned up nothing. I then...

    Falklands UFO Base?

    This man, Roger in KC, claims to have discovered a UFO base or something on Beauchene Island, the southernmost island of the Falklands. Personally, I think--to be kind--that ol' Roger is possessed of a very over-active imagination. He claims that google earth is hiding the base due to...

    Unbreakable Ciphers & Codes

    Is there any such thing? When I suggested to a co-worker at Boeing's facility in Wichita, Kansas, that I had an idea for a code/cipher that would be very difficult to break, he responded by saying that a computer could 'brute force' it and break it. Without knowing the type of code/cipher and...

    Strange Video

    Didn't know quite where to put this, so I put it here, as it concerns a sea mystery. I'd like to call attention to the segment called 'sycamore', if i could. This is allegedly a plateau off the coast of Malibu in California, that is said to be resting on pillars. The pillars are clearly shown...

    Odd Assertions

    I couldn't quite think of a 'proper' title to this thread, but what I'd like to explore is 'what are some of the oddest assertions' you all have come across in the fortean realm? By this, I mean verbally, in print or on the internet. In print, it would likely be the purported assertion by...

    Buru

    This cryptid was a large reptile that lived in the extreme northeast of India. It was thought to have become extinct only recently (the 1940's) and resembled a Komodo dragon, except for its blue color. This is one cryptid that is seldom discussed. Here is the wiki piece on it. The external...

    Extraterrestrial Artifacts / Artefacts

    With all of the hundreds of UFO crashes reported on the CSETI website, is there a single confirmed artifact of ET origin? Even from the earlier crashes? http://www.cseti.org/crashes/crash.htm It strikes me as a reasonable question. Surely, there must be at at least a few in private hands.

    Exchange of Personalities

    Are there any real-life cases on record where the personalities has been exchanged? It has been the subject of at least one story, a movie with Kate Hudson comes to mind here, but are there any real cases involving two or more people where they have literally became each other? Sorry if the...

    UK Mystery Place (Fate Magazine, Long Ago)?

    This is my first post here and I'm excited to be with you. There is a place in the UK, that was discussed in a long-ago article in Fate. It is not a structure, that is, a castle, building or house, but rather, it is a place like a hill, forest, or meadow. The strange thing is that this place...
