The band Dinosaur Jr. did a couple of weird videos featuring dog headed men. Although these ones seem quite dignified compared to the ones mentioned on this thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZkIjD37-Ok http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smiyp0YfVKY

I can confirm that this person really exists - I mentioned him in the “Freak Town UK?” thread… basically you can spot this man dressed as if on an Artic expedition, rain or shine, winter or summer, trudging around the Brighton area. I’ve even seen him on the South Downs near Jack & Jill in...

My girlfriends family have their own "home signs", usually associated with food. I raised my eyebrows a few times when I was introduced to them for the first time. Here’s a few: Cackleberries: Eggs. i.e. “How do you like your cackleberries in the morning? Hard or runny?” or Pughhh...

Wow, how did I miss this thread? Used to be an avid floater when I was a kid. Started by gently gliding down the stairs, then when I became more proficient I would repeatedly rush down the stairs at a tremendous speed, colliding with the floor at the bottom. It was my favourite nocturnal pastime...

I used to live quite close to Hever Castle, which is her childhood home and is reputedly haunted by her. And every Christmas Eve her (clichéd) headless corpse is supposed to walk over the bridge (with head neatly tucked under her arm) in the nearby town of Edenbridge. Here’s some links...

A crimson (blood stained) dentists drill… Muaww-ha-ha-ha!!!! Actually I’m in the habit of skim reading text before reading it through – so saw the most common answer before I solved the questions… Arse!!!

Don’t wish to alarm you Whidbey, I can see you live in Washington and there haven't been any positive reports of the disease, but is it possible that the birds were infected with West Nile Virus? http://www.doh.wa.gov/ehp/ts/Zoo/WNV/WNV.html http://ohioline.osu.edu/vme-fact/1000.html

You can get an Alien Face Huggers, Living Dead dolls, Krypt Kiddie dolls and many other oddities on my mates website: - http://www.muddyfunsters.com/

Yeah used to get this type of feeling preceding an attack of "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome" (big/small thing) - usually if I’ve got a fever or something. Sometimes the combination of feeling tired whilst concentrating on reading and the low drone of water running through the central...

Does anyone remember the Dinosaur Jnr video (think the song was called Thumb), which depicted a dog-headed man in Victorian attire looking for his lost love? The video was rather surreal and grainy… Think it was released in 1991. Been trying to find a picture to use as wallpaper on my PC, but...

My mum relayed this story to me when I was in my teens. She affirms that it happened to her back in the seventies when she used to work as an orderly for the Queen Victoria Hospital in Sussex. The hospital was built as a community hospital in the 1930s and developed as a specialist unit...

There are a large number of festivals across Spain and Hispanic countries during mid/end part of January and beginning of February – the festivals are usually pagan in origin but now represent various saints associated with specific towns or areas. They also seem to revolve around the...

Mr R.I.N.G, have you read Stephen King’s The Stand? In the book there’s an old lady messiah figure (Mother Abigail) that gets attacked by a band of weasels, which are possessed by the devil. It’s been a long time since I read it, but I vaguely remember her appearing in the main characters...

Oh go on Stormkhan, spill the beans regarding Chanctonbury. I’m dying to know what happened to you... PM me if you wish. Was it similar to my experience?

My girlfriend came across one on the outskirts of Ashdown Forest in Sussex. Click on the link: http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6207&highlight=torc

I posted some info about the stuff here: forteantimes.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9547&highlight=monatomic Link is obsolete. The intended reference was apparently to: ORMES / White Powder Gold / Monatomic Gold...

Could be Rose-Mary’s house? Her gaff is quite famous for ghostly goings on. http://www.moldweb.co.uk/monk.htm http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6530&highlight=RoseMary http://www.forteantimes.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1698...

Some of the things in this thread sound similar to the panic I experienced in Chanctonbury Ring. Maybe Pan was offering me some of his warm hospitality. :) On a similar vein, an old friend of mine recounted a tale about when he was a young child living in the Coventry suburbs. He and...

Your could be right… By sheer coincidence I’ve literally just stumbled across another thread (Nuclear bunker in Sussex Downs) where KittyRice mentions that a nuclear bunker does actually exist at King Standing police compound. Might be a good idea to PM her to glean some more info. Just...

Hi Iiyamax, Apparently the decommissioning of a sewage treatment plant is being undertaken to the north east of the Kings Standing police compound on the forest. They are going to clear the area of vegetation and the boundary fencing is to be removed and the treatment plant demolished...

Oxney Bottom in Kent sounds somewhat scary: http://www.yourcounty.co.uk/Kent51/oxney.html So does Chillingham Castle: http://www.mysterymag.com/html/chillingham_castle_ghosts.html Here are some haunted roads where I wouldn’t want to walk alone at night (link courtesy of Hermes)...

Ok, I admit that I think it sounds like a load of twaddle as well. However monatomic solids and gases do exist, and do have some striking properties. Although I’m a bit doubtful if the stuff can be associated with the entire range of biblical and mystical bumf that David Hudson mentions...

HAS THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE BEEN FOUND? MFKZT (WHITE POWDER GOLD) - MODERN ALCHEMY AND MONATOMIC GOLD. Has anyone heard about the recent rediscovery of the molecular alteration of ordinary metallic gold, (and silver, and platinum group metals) into a white powder "monatomic" form? This...

Photographic evidence of a 4x4 and a deer collision. Can a deer really cause this much havoc???

Spooky :eek: Listen to the fox sounds (greyfox fight.wav) from Emperor Zombie’s link . There’s a distinct human sound in there. Don’t believe it’s a fox. Could it be Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP)? Is it a voice from the "other side”? Sounds pretty scary to me!!! :eek!!!!:

As I understand it gunpowder consists of an oxidiser, fuel, and binders and is just a mixture of sulphur, charcoal, and saltpetre (potassium nitrate), ingredients that are all fairly easy to obtain. The chemical formula for gunpowder is 10% Sulphur (S) + 15% Carbon (C) + 75% Potassium Nitrate...

Incidentally, about a year ago my girlfriend may have seen a road ghost on that same section of road. Check out the tread. Just a mad theory and probably a bit off track, but after reading Hermes’s website about the Road Hag or the Cailleach, could a wild boar (Torc Triath & Moccus) be...

Has anyone in this forum seen any wild boars in the British countryside? Last Saturday my girlfriend almost ran one over near Gravetye Manor in East Grinstead, West Sussex. Gave her a fright, she didn't know they had been re-established in the British countryside. She thought something had...

The Matrix was a good film but a blatant, un-deliberated work of fiction. I think an artificially intelligent machine wouldn't bother going through the effort of creating a Matrix just to placate some humans so that you could use them as batteries? Wouldn't it be easier if the machines...

Yeah, could certainly be a BT test line. I work for Ericsson and provide engineering support for BT wireline products. Basically we help support BT's exchanges. Don't want to get too technical but DAPTUS could be confused with an abbreviation we use to define certain services, for instance...

Dun-Dun Dun-Dun Dun-Dun Dun-Dun Dun-Dun DUN Dun Dun-Dun DUN. Didn't see the photo, but tuna can be a pretty impressive size fish with almost armour like scales. I'd be damn flabbergasted if I saw a squid eating one!!! Incidentally, I was sent an e-mail with an attached picture of a shark...

I've just received an e-mail warning of a new date rape drug called Progesterex. Apparently this drug, which is taken alongside Rohypnol, renders its victims sterile. I've heard about the terrible affects of Rohypnol, but this Progesterex drug sounds to horrifying to be true! Is this a UL...

To this day I can't explain what happened to us at Chanctonbury Ring, and hope someone could provide an explanation as to what occurred. I've never suffered from tinnitus before or since this occurrence, and on the rare occurrence that I do get a headache, it's never painful enough for me to...

The South Downs Way and Chanctonbury Ring I would be extremely interested to hear if anyone has experienced any strange occurrences along or around the South Downs Way, particularly Chanctonbury Ring. Something scary happened to me there, of which I shall now recount: A few years ago I had...

My mum, who was a flamenco/ballet dancer in Spain during the sixties knew a number of famous celebrities. Surreally, she was actually a friend of Salvador Dali, who unbeknownst to her had a tenuous link with the falange, and arranged for her to go on a blind date with the son of Franco, the...

http://www.ashurstwood.com/ http://directory.google.com/Top/Society/Issues/Secession/Micronations/Europe/ :D Just when you thought revolutions had gone out of fashion, the residents of a sleepy English village proved that's just not the case. The Sussex hamlet of Ashurst in the South...

Hermes, Been to your website a number of times - it's a great site by the way - certainly a lot to take in… After reading about Blue Bell Hill, the A23 does sound very tame in comparison. Incidentally, my girlfriend's encounter does seem remarkably similar to many of the cases mentioned on...

God, a colleague of mine just told me that the A23 is supposedly the most haunted road in the UK, where ghostly figures include a small girl with no hands or feet, a figure in a white trench coat and a figure in cricketer's clothing! Apparently various paranormal sightings have been reported...

Admittedly, I did get a bit paranoid after a while. My imagination wondered - especially when I didn't hear any of the other audience, cough, sneeze etc.. I suddenly imagined the cast to be vampires or something and were picking of members of the audience - reminiscent of the Parisian...

Yeah, certainly very freaky at first, but after a while you got used to the visual deprivation and started to picture the characters in your head - the darkness, whispering and caressing added to atmosphere of the story. I assumed the actors and the stewards wore night vision goggles - if...

THEATRE IN THE DARK: THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE TRAGIC LIFE AND TRIUMPHANT DEATH OF JULIA PASTRANA, THE UGLIEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD Went to the above play last October at the Komedia in Brighton. I'd recommend it to anyone who gets the chance, to go along and see it. Commissioned by the...

It struck me that there was quite a large similarity between both Graeme_H's incident and mine. The same bright entity, the same acute and profound feeling, the fact that a stranger seemed to perceive what we had dreamt - even months or years later. The dream I had was almost verging on an...

My apologies Graeme_H, I don't wish to hijack your thread but I would be extremely interested to know if anyone knows anything about my dream-being. When I was a kid I used to have lots of vivid nightmares, usually brought on by a bout of fever. In one particular dream I was being chased by a...

I grew up in East Grinstead, and as well as the proliferation of bizarre cult members and religious nutters that reside here, the town also has its fair share of freakoids. There's Droopy Balls who was occasionally spotted in Queens Walk playing with himself. The Lone Ranger - a Texan...

I used to suffer from 'sleep paralysis' on a horribly regular basis. Sometimes after waking from one of these experiences I would experience a hypnogogic (I think that's how you spell it) hallucination. One night I woke up after an attack of SP and looked out the window (I was decorating the...

I currently live in Brighton and frequently see Jesus attired in a kilt, ringing a bell whilst carrying a life size wooden crucifix, walking around the Clock Tower in the centre of town. Also, I occasionally see this mad rambler, dressed to the hilt in old fashioned arctic style explorer...

I know a seem fairly intolerant when it comes to Scientology. I just can't understand how anyone can justify ostracising people from their families, friends and the rest of society, suppressing most of their human rights and privileges and take all their money and possessions in the process...

If you walk around East Grinstead town centre on a weekend, you will see these smiling religious fanatics pestering shoppers in the street with clipboards. But my advice to anyone is never say yes to the question: "Do you have time for a survey?", even if you do fancy a nice cup of tea and a...
