    Blasphemy

    Hang on there. What I am talking about is a matter of unequivocal historical record. In the year 1000 AD the Muslims invaded what we now call India and murdered 100 million+ people. For the next 500 years the population of India failed to grow by the standard 3% per annum, and in fact...

    The Arcesio Bermudez Case (Anolaima, Colombia; 1969)

    This is consistent with reports of radioactive power sources on other supposed alien craft. Reports from saucer nests (landing sites) are that the vegetation in the area is often powderized in a manner consistent with ionizing radiation. I strongly suspect that saucers are not alien in origin...

    Blasphemy

    This is entirely typical behavior from a nation founded by Islamic terrorists on the basis of promoting Islamic terror. This is the nation that announced its existence by murdering Mahatma Gandhi. Pakistan's people are the ancestors of the perpetrators of the largest genocide in human history...

    'The Last Thing 2020 Needs': Ouija Boards For A Quid

    Oh noes! The ideomotor effect is gonna rise up and tell us what our subconscious already knows; that we are our own demons.

    It Happened To Me! Then I Realised It Hadn't

    It's okay to be a statistical outlier IbisNibs. The only reason I own guns is because my fellow Americans own guns. In truth, the only parties who win from this arrangement are the arms manufacturers, but in my defense I have been eating venison I shot and dressed myself for the entire...

    Magick: Whether & If So How It Works

    Well that's easy. How can you win in a tug of war between 10,000,000 warring wills over something as ephemeral as the drop of numbers?

    Magnetic / Gravity / Mystery Hills (Where Things 'Roll Uphill')

    Actually the optical illusion doesn't apply to all these places. A surveyor friend and I took a theodolite out to one of the non-mystery house versions of the mystery spots and surveyed one and it wasn't an optical illusion at all, or the theodolite would have picked it up.

    Japan also has issues with toasting bread... Toasters are a Japanese status symbol few can afford.

    It Happened To Me! Then I Realised It Hadn't

    I don't doubt that is true. For all the bluster, we Americans are a timid lot, and we never feel safe without the means of killing things we perceive as a threat, which might be anything given our bizarre religious proclivities. As to the comparative absence of toasters, well, the same applies...

    Divination Arts & Interpreting Forteana

    I have a few thoughts on this matter that might serve to kick off discussion [1] The given scientific explanation for divination is that we are experiencing is primarily a form of projection. When presented with symbols, such as the quote from an I Ching hexagram, one of the archetype-laden...

    Yeah, Hollywood sequels are generally terrible, and while not utterly terrible BR2049 was very underwhelming. Bad writing.

    Given Time Travel, Where & When Would You Want To Travel?

    Well here's a suggestion... What would happen if time travellers dressed up as Nazis and assassinated Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier in Munich 1938 before the Munich Agreement had been signed? That would leave the Nazis as flat footed militarily as Britain and France, and with...

    Did Jesus 'Sleep' Rather Than Die On The Cross?

    What people generally don't realize is that crucifixion was sometimes used not as a method of execution but just as a punishment. While incredibly painful, the process wasn't necessarily lethal, and an individual was sometimes sentenced to crucifixion and to be removed from the cross after half...

    The Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film

    It is easy enough to defeat a lie detector by taking valium. Then when they ask you "Have you taken any drugs or alcohol recently" before you take the test you answer "no". In fact psychopaths, who don't feel guilt, generally pass lie detector tests with ease. I put it to you that Bob...

    Birds Aren't Real

    People have missed the real issue here. If birds aren't real, what are we eating when we order poultry? What will Thanksgiving dinner be? Every turkey a government listening device we have been willingly eating since the Pilgrims.

    Ig Nobel Awards

    The male mallard duck is an extremely rapey creature. Definitely not petting zoo material. Bring a tennis racket to bat them away or join #MeToo community and share your stories. The fact that they are also prone to homosexual necrophilia is a little surprising, but only a little. Put it...

    It Happened To Me! Then I Realised It Hadn't

    Back in the 1990s I mistook a pile of old sacks in the moonlight for a crouching witch-like figure. The simulacrum was uncanny. I showed it to my buddies at the time, and they freaked out too. One even ran inside to get a pistol because we're Americans and we do stuff like that when...

    Are All Psychics & Fortune Tellers Fakes?

    I have been deja vu-ing like crazy recently. About 20 years ago I had a series of dreams after using the Billy Mitchel 's/Nostradamus' wine glass divination method. I thought that when I saw a vision of people wearing masks that it was because of out-of-control air pollution. Now I am not so...

    Moon Landing: Hoaxed?

    I enjoyed Capricorn 1 as well. That being said, having seen the lunar landing zone with a large telescope and done the lazer reflector test with friends, I know for certain that the moon landings were real.

    Okay, now I'm gonna lay down some gorilla porn on you. Gmilkystreams. For your education of course. Totally relevant to the topic. According to Cleo Magazine, women will become aroused and men will become highly un-aroused from these images. You can determine for yourself if this means that...

    Westall / Clayton South Incident (1966; Australia)

    I wonder if anyone went out to the landing site with a geiger counter? Landing sites are often radioactive, and if the craft was giving off heat, there is the possibility there was ionizing radiation present, which is another point of proof. To be fair, a chopper blades can produce a circular...

    Yeah, noted. There is no mistaking that Diamonds are Forever apesuit for bigfoot tho.

    The Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film

    I agree. It would have to be a damn thin/tight ape suit to allow an effect like that, and that would be damn hard given that ape suits need to be thick to have all that fur.

    Hehe, that's a pretty interesting piece of folklore that I haven't come across before. Nice one AB. IDK if it is relevant in this situation, but it is worth consideration for its sheer weirdness.

    Magick: Whether & If So How It Works

    Most Buddhists are peaceful in my experience. Milarepa laid curses before he became a serious Buddhist, and my acquaintance in question thinks that what was true for Milarepa is true for everybody and all time. Admittedly within karma theory, getting magic is a karma accelerator for good or ill.

    Except, when you look a bit closer you realize that the superimposition doesn't work as advertised. The scaling is out. Bigfoot is still substantially larger than the projected 6'5". Even if we drop the size claims to 7' it still isn't easy to find someone that tall. People of that height...

    Australian Archaeology

    I suggest you familiarise yourself with the early history of Archaeology, as this is very much a matter of academic politics in the 19th Century, and the rampant nationalism of the era that comes across in the correspondence of the period. It was cunning how the French academics managed to...

    The Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film

    So how did they find an 8 foot tall person to wear this costume in the remote wilderness ? Also why did they attack the local construction site ? And why the ape tits? I mean, most guys at the time were a bit homophobic about dressing up as a female anything. The problem with the hoax as an...

    Australian Archaeology

    The problem with modern archaeology is that a good deal of what is taken to be the truth was first brought to us by French nationalists who wanted to claim for France, the title of being the origin point for ancient humanity, which it patently isn't. Thereafter, everything has been tainted with...

    Lake Van Monster(s) (Turkey)

    Yeah, that could be a head-shot of an elephant's profile with an eye visible, but the trunk normally snorkels further from the body, so that might be exhalation from the mouth, but it isn't quite proportional. It could easily be a circus elephant going for a swim, which would also explain how...

    Lake Van Monster(s) (Turkey)

    The area definitely has an association with Vishaps, hence the Vishapakar menhirs. The association with fire is news to me. My own research suggests that Vishaps are primarily associated with thunderstorms, rain and water. In short, we now have fire, thunderstorm, telluric and aquatic...

    Millennium: The TV Program

    It was a great show that should have ended at its third season. It beat the dead horse for seasons 4 and 5. Much better to end on the cosmicist 3rd season last episode with the virus hitting and everything coming unstuck. Say... Wait a minute...

    Lake Van Monster(s) (Turkey)

    I think the point of the exercise is that the critter in the water didn't show itself properly. Take the classic b&w LNM photo. That could easily have been an elephant's trunk. What we are looking at here might be an elephant, but normally they will snorkel pretty often and it would become...

    Lake Van Monster(s) (Turkey)

    Not many people on this side of the Bosphorus pay much attention to Armenian folklore, so I thought I'd introduce you to an aquatic menace straight out of H.P. Lovecraft that allegedly lives in Modern Turkey. Lake Van, aka Van Gölü is found at 38°38′N 42°49′E in what is now Eastern Turkey, but...

    The Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot Film

    I am inclined to agree. Nobody sells an ape suit that large, or with tits, especially back in the day, and it's hard to manage the gait unless you've had a very specific hip injury. So we'd be looking for a person with gigantism who has advanced costuming skills, a fetish for apes with tits...
