I hope its ok to post this here, I thought it was rather interesting :) On Reddit, a person posted an image of a mascot/character that they had found in an old stock room at a now defunct music store. They can't find what the character was from and its become a rather intriguing internet mystery.

Hello all! Myself and Mr. Cherrybomb recently moved home, and since the move I keep seeing the numbers 1234 and finding drops & small puddles of water in odd places. Today I found some water in the middle of our living room floor and some drops on a framed picture that is on a shelf. Theres no...

Hi, Sorry if this has been posted before (mods feel free to move this if need be). I know that The Poke is a joke site but I found this to be a really interesting idea: https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2017/11/14/the-queen-is-dead/ Congolesa Banned's twitter here: https://twitter.com/judeinlondon2...

Hi all, The past few days myself and my OH have experienced a strong perfume in either the kitchen or the bedroom of our house. Its a scent similar to one my husbands gran used to wear, she passed away over ten years ago and we have nothing of hers in our home. It seems to come out of no where...

A couple enjoying an evening stroll along Portreath Beach were left 'mesmerised' and had to flee to 'run home and lock the doors' after spotting a UFO floating above them in the sky. It is the second reported UFO sighting in just a few weeks, as two women claim to have been left 'shocked' and...

This is a bit of an odd thing (IMHO), basically it seems that during the 1950's/60's you could send off a poem and it would be set to music. It's not a great album, but its an interesting and rather strange thing to hear. Here's some links/info about it...

Hi all Here's something thats been bothering me recently: What is the difference (if there is one) between Folk horror and the Fortean? :confused:

About 10 years ago, maybe a bit longer, my mum was feeling a bit run down, so one of her friends suggested a visit to a local spiritual healer to give her a pick me up. My mum was a bit cynical of this but thought, why not. She booked in with a local lady who took my mum into her "sanctuary"...

Hi all, Does anyone else enjoy the stories on Reddit's "let's not meet"? The creepiest one IMHO is The Smiling man. For some reason for me, the fairly mundane is much more creepy than the big jump scare monster type stories.

I'm getting into Fortean topic you tube videos, but I want some inspiration on the better ones, please!

A POPULAR TV psychic was filming in Rhyl this week for the hit TV show ‘Most Haunted’. The trip was cut short however, after he was found on the pavement of Edward Henry Street flailing his arms and shouting incoherently. When passers by eventually stopped to help, Acorah claimed a gang of...

There's a rather large, industrial type building that I often pass by, its set behind some bungalows, but it doesnt seem to have an entrance/exit driveway. I've looked on google maps and it shows a driveway for this building, but there isn't one when you pass by it - there's a garage for one of...

Last night I was drifting off to sleep when I heard my name being called - it was loud and clear - I sat up with a start, my heart racing. My husband was fast asleep. As I was trying to figure out who had called me I saw a figure at the foot of our bed. It was about 4 foot tall & stocky, totally...

Hi all! This comes from a friend of mine. He said that when he first got a mobile phone back in about 2001, it would play Dawn Penn's record "You don't love me" when he dialled 1234567890 (I've also since seen this odd phenomenon mentioned on the songs you tube page). He said he was playing...

Hi all! All day today I've had this song stuck in my head: Build a bonfire, build a bonfire, Put the teachers on the top, Put the prefects in the middle, And burn the blooming lot. I've not heard of or thought of that song since I was probably about 10 or 11. Whys it popped up in my head...

Hi everyone Last Friday afternoon I was busy putting my make up on for a rare night out. I was stood in my bathroom when I heard one of the cats in the living room growling, so I walked through to see what was going on & there was a small bubble floating in mid air. I was home alone and the...

Hi all I've been suffering from quite severe mental health issues since October of last year and its thrown up some odd happenings, or is it that I'm more sensitive to the unknown at the moment? Here's the latest - About a week ago I was fast asleep when a bright flash woke me in the middle of...

Hi all I've recently been going through a really tough time dealing with mental health issues, and a lot of memories have been "churned up". One of them is something I'd like to share with you all. In 2001 I was working part time in Blockbuster video (lucky me!). I'd had a few days off for...

Someone shared this on my facebook page & it's actually a really interesting topic (IMO) - so I'm popping it here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... SM-IV_list

I've read somewhere recently that you can't read in your dreams, but I have read things in my dreams many times. Where has this idea come from?

Hi y'all! I'm looking for some help in finding pictures/footage of an episode of the tales of the unexpected. It was about a man in a yellow rain coat driving around. That's all I can remember about it, but I'd love to see it again! Help!

Hi all On Saturday Me and Mr. Cherrybomb were staying at his late grandfathers house for the night. We were going to a mates wedding close to his home and it was easier to stop there than travel back to our own house later after the reception. His g'dad only passed away in late August and...

I saw a link on facebook today which had a photo of someones fence in the US with a small piece of orange ribbon tyed on to it with the following comment: "So there is this tag on my fence. This tag apparently notifies certain horrible excuses for human beings that there is a dog here, and...

Hi folks! My mum told me this one a few years ago, and she still believes it. Here's the basics of it: The Mormons of Utah have a massive cave and they are carving everyones name into it, so future generations will think that once upon a time everyone was a Mormon. Now how they would get...

Hi all Do we have a thread one the strange "Silent" twins June & Jennifer Gibbons? Thanks!

Hi Can anyone help me? I vividly remember watching a documentary in the 1990's about a school in (I think) London that was called Sunny Hill, or maybe Sunny Side school. They let the children decide what they wanted to learn and let them run amock. I've googled but the great google god...

Hi all Ok this is a bit of a funny one, but does anyone else experience really strong déjà vu when they smell certain things? I get déjà vu from time to time, like most people. But sometimes I'll walk past a shop or whatever and smell something and I get such a strong déjà vu moment it...

Hi all, I was talking to an older lady the other day at work about folklore & she said her mother always said the following - "If there's a New moon turn your money over!" Has anyone else heard this? Any ideas as to what it means/where it comes from?

I'm sure I read about this sad case on this forum at some point, however I thought I'd just say, this film - although sad - is rather interesting. Her body wasn’t discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on. Newspaper reports...

Do any of you lovely Forteans ever "ask" out loud for strange things to happen? I did yesterday, (I was off work ill & feeling bored, so I said out loud "If there is anything out there, let me see you") nothing odd has happend, sadly! :( But has anyone else ever asked to see something...

Hi, Some lads at my work were chatting this morning about how anti bac hand gel - which is used in hospitals, etc - is being sent out and promoted by "them" to give us even more of a resistance to anti bac drugs. They think that it's part of the NWO's plans, so that in a few years "they" can...

I was told as a kid that you never wear green & blue together. My mum had 2 different sayings on this topic: Green & blue will never do, and Blue & green should never be seen. Why? She claims it's bad luck :roll: Anyone else heard of this?

Ok, I usually dream in UV & it's not very often about anything exciting, however, last night I had a dream that I was in my hometown of Penzance, watching UFO's. It was in full colour (very odd for me) & it was so real, I'm still trying to shake it off. It went something like this: I was...

The "doffing a hat when a funeral procession passes" thread has inspired me to think about a strange thing my Grandmother used to do. She would cross her fingers whenever an ambulance passed her. She would do it at home or out and about, and I remember her saying that she shouldn't uncross them...

Ok, so this is a story my Mum has told me many times, sorry it's a bit FOAF-ish, I've been meaning to post it for a while & I'll try and get more details if anyone's interested... In the mid-1970's my Mother lived in a small village in west Penwith, Cornwall, called Heamoor. One night she...

Morning! Something I kind of remember from my 1980's childhood, was that if there was a break on the radio, and nothing but silence for a minute it ment a bomb had been dropped and was to give warning, to those of us further out to hide/escape. Anyone else remember this? Was it a UL?

Just wondered if anyone else had a fear of drains? It's one of mine and I don't think I've ever met anyone else who has this fear. It's a childhood fear that's stayed with me, but I can't shake it. I think it's because they are creepy, dark, dirty places, where "things" can lurk. :cross eye...

Mr. Cherrybomb and myself moved to a new house last Autumn, and almost right away we noticed that there are several unusually large animals in our new garden/local area. Our house has a garden, which backs onto some unused land (as do all the other gardens in our part of the street), and on...

I have just woken up from a nap in which I had a dream that was rather odd but which I have to share! I haven't felt well all day so I took a nap, I dreamt that I was visited by four men, all dressed in black with breathing apparatus masks covering their faces. I was lying on the bed and one...
