My daughter (15) has been talking recently about something called Shifting or Reality Shifting. It became a thing during the Covid pandemic. As with all things interesting to people under 20, I rolled my eyes. But the premise is intriguing. The bare bones of it is that by using one of many...

Saturday 1st August, around 14.30 Swedish time, my wife and two kids witnessed a large rocket ascending into the sky. They were driving through Krusboda and had just turned off on the road towards Alby Nature reserve. It was a clear, bright blue sky. My son saw it first, then my daughter and...

I was thinking this evening about mythical characters from the modern era as opposed to ancient Greek mythology etc. By that I mean individuals rather than mythical species/groups (such as bigfoot). The only mythical characters I can think of are: Springheeled Jack, Mothman, Sweeny Todd, The...

@Georgek - depending upon your intention, you might want to change out that relay for a reed switch. Just sayin'. (From a person who makes and uses spirit bells on a regular basis).

In the end, an aristocrat, his maid, his cook, his son and his daughter-in-law are all dead. The murderer(s) are only suspected and the motives are totally unknown. On the 7th of March 1932, Circuit Judge and Politician, Hjalmar Von Sydow was found dead in his luxury apartment on Norr...

Inspired by a comment I left on another thread, I thought I would see if we can get a discussion going about Finding religion, or at least wanting to. I have felt for years that I am missing something spirtual - a belief in something greater than myself. I am athiest and don't believe in God...

I'm looking for suggestions and specific examples of songs that make you feel as if you're the protagonist in a weird film. Imagine that you're driving through the Arizona desert, maybe running from (or to) someone. It's late and you're tired and dusty. Then you happen upon a bar in the middle...

Prompted by the thread on Dragons, I saw a very mysterious, huge lizard like creature when I was in Mexico a few weeks ago. I haven't told anybody about it (here or IRL) because, well, I'm always talking about my weird experiences and I worry that people think I'm exaggerating or just making...

From BBC news tonight: "The Pentagon has been running a secret multi-million dollar programme to investigate Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), US media report. Only a small number of officials were aware of the programme, which began in 2007 and was reportedly closed in 2012. The brainchild...

I noticed the other day how weathered President Obama was looking and wondered how much of a toll the stress of office had taken on his health. This got me thinking about Prime Ministers/Presidents before and after they have served their terms and how much the weight of their decisions must...

Hi guys, I'm busy writing a new theatre performance/dinner show which includes ghostly characters. One of them is a psychiatric nurse from the 1930's (for reasons which are too long to go into here). The guests will come into close contact with the various characters. What I'm missing is...

I found another IHTM story about bell ringing but it was of a different sort so I thought I would post this as a seperate story. Mods feel free to move it of you want. Last Saturday, I was supposed to be away on a ghost investigation at a haunted hostel/hotel in the middle of nowhere. The...

Hi everyone, I need help trying to find an image online. I have seen it before (twice I think) but can't find it now. I am looking for an image of a building facade. It's a café called Mon Cheri which was located on Kungsgatan, Stockholm during the 1980's. It was wall to wall with the...

I'm not sure if such a thread exists already (I did some searching and came up empty handed). I thought this could be the place for any unexpected discoveries or things which we would like to show. This is all in aid of this signpost I discovered recently, deep in the heart of the forest in...

I did a search for hallucinations but only found IHTM posts. I thought this thread could be about hallucinations generally - whether fever, alcohol or just mentally induced. Our stories, other stories and of course, fortean stories. To kick us off, how's this. I was with my hunting buddies...

Hi all, I'm looking for help and a point in the right direction regarding a genre I think I'm interested in. I'm becoming fascinated with End of the World scenarios; the lone survivor in a desolate city, human ingenuity put to the test etc. After watching countless movies I realised I've...

I'm surprised no-one has posted this yet. A UFO filmed from two different angles. Too good to be true? http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20110202/toddly-ufo-spotted-hanging-over-jerusalem-cc3a409.html

I've no idea where to put this so it's going here. It is really just a question that came to me yesterday. Do space missions carry weapons to defend against ET attacks? Are space shuttles armed or do they have any built-in defenses at all? Do the astronauts have any weapons at their disposal...

My sister just sent me a message about this and I thought I'd check out if anything has been said here but I can't find anything. A white object moving very fast passes thorugh the background shot of a BBC current affairs programme Look North. The presenter asks for any information as to what...

This is hard to explain but please bear with me. It seems now that I'm over 30 I'm finally starting to get to know myself better. What I mean is that only in the past year have I started to recognise my usual thought processes and anticipate my emotional responses and moods. It's hard to get...

Here's a link to an online article about the photograph that was voted "most authentic" from amongst 250 "unexplainable" photographs. Photographed by a tourist at Tantallon Castle, the image has been examined by 3 "experts" no less :wink: and found to be unmanipulated. Simulacra or similar-crap?

Hi Guys, I'm giving a lecture on Friday about variuos paranormal things and I'm missing a picture that I want to show; namely, an image of a "monkey woman" with her head supported on a stick, with a man standing on each side of her. Can anyone provide me with a link. I've searched around...

Saw this today and thought it was something for our board. An Arabic footballer is taken by a sudden seizure and performs quite acrobatic feats but the story was circulated that he was attacked by the Angel of Death. Video Here:Youtube Link (It's not gross or even bone crunching - just...

Hi everyone, I shot this film myself on a Sony DV cam with an external IR illuminator. We captured a light/object which seemed to fly underneath a table and through the legs of a stool before coming closer to the camera and disappearing into the wall. The light was invisible to the naked...

I have been telling people for years about something that happened to me as a child and now that I come to try to read more about it, I can't find any mention of it so I'm hoping our collective knowledge can uncover something. To cut a long IHTM story short, one evening my mother and I both...

I have recently met a strange character. I took a large group of men on a ghost walk in Stokholm and over coffee afterwards, we all chatted about ghosts, legends etc. One man was very interested in my knowledge of secret societies (which isn't very much) and then he asked about the masons. He...

I heard this a few months ago but it's UL style never dawned on me until tonight. (I'm not the quickest off the mark, am I?) A close friend, let's call her M, told me that this story happened to her close friend, let's call her S. Now, M met S at University and have hung out together for...

My Grandmother used to tell me that during/after WWII (can't remember which), kids could get into the cinema for free if they brought a cleanly washed jam jar. I presume which the cinema would then sell back to whoever made jam jars!? Anyone heard this before?

I have literally just heard this and I'm posting to ask if anyone else has heard this before. A FOAF was suffering from a sore throat and was coughing up lots of green slime. He went to the doctor and was examined. The doctor prescribed some form of tablet and when the guy asked what was wrong...

Hello everyone, There seems to be alot about razor blades in the UL section and it reminded me of a somewhat curious occurence back when I was at Uni in London. I was in the toilet doing what men do when they sit down instead of standing up and time came for the clean up. The toilet roll...

My sister has just told me of a strange news item that happened (she thinks) towards the end of last year. Apparently, after a shop owner kept finding his shop in amess every morning when he arrived, he installed cameras. He managed to capture a ghostly hand on camera, materialising from a...

MODS, please move if necessary. I wasn't quite sure if it was Esoterica, Ghosts or whatever! I need help finding a good website that describes and shows how Victorian spiritualists would fool their audiences. I need details and if possible, diagrams of set-up, positioning, lighting etc. I am...

I was recently at a funeral of a family member and it set me thinking to long lost relatives. A memory emerged from a distant past when my Grandmother used to warn about eating too much sugar as it would give you worms! That set off another memory as I recalled an UL about somebody having a...

At University, back in good ole '99, there was a buzz about registeríng to vote. A leaflet did the rounds saying that if enough peole put jedi as their religion, then it would become a recognised religion in the UK? Does this do the rounds every year? Is it even true, if a large enough...

My entire family have long known that paranormal activity has been centred around my sister. I shall regail you all with the complete story. I'll tell you now, it's very long but I know that's how you like it :wink: I don't know why, as this is a paranormal forum but I feel I must say, all...

The jist of it is, when i was at Uni in London, a project required sifting through tons of old copies of tabloid papers. I began to notice a correlation between major movie releases and breaking stories. many summer and christmas blockbusters were preceeded with news events regarding similar...
