When I was a kid , about 5 or 6 , I seem to remember seeing a HUGE spider, about the size of a dog going through my parents back garden. I rushed in to tell them but there was nothing there when we went out to look. It scared the bejeezus out of me , and the thought of it still does. It was the...

Yup...I even sent a package to you over in Korea if I remember

I've been missing in action for several years now , but I'm back . Bummer that the site is about to go now though.

Here's a screenshot Link Link is dead; photo MIA. EDIT: Large image changed to clickable link by WJ.

might have to go east a little bit

Interestingly , I've just been having a look at Loch Morar on Google Maps , and found this large object . https://www.google.co.uk/mapmaker?ll=56.960958,-5.746987&spn=0.006388,0.013475&t=h&z=16&utm_source=mapseditbutton_normal&lyt=large_map

I reckon the Google map thing is boat wakes . The more I look at the image I reckon I can even see some boats around . It's a particularly busy spot for boats on the loch , being almost opposite Urquhart Castle . Still I suppose my 'boat wake' comment is the famous old chestnut to explain the...

Really looking forward to this one :)

As for that article , I live in Winchburgh , West Lothian and I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before . It's a really small village where everyone knows each other , so the chances are I'd know who saw the UFO , but nobody knows anything . I'll keep asking around anyway .

I work some nights in a hospital , and can honestly say that it can be the creepiest place on earth sometimes . The room I work in is empty all day , but used for a few hours in the evening and when I'm there I'm usually alone . At night , the hospital is deathly quiet (apart from myself...

The more I look at the photo , the more convinced I get is that there are three people there , in a group hug . It's just that we can't see the body of the third person that gives rise to the optical illusion . Still , it's kind of creepy looking though.

The Dutch charted the nort and western coasts of Australia , but they could have indeed visited the east coast too - Abel Tasman managed to land in New Zealand in 1642 , a date which fits in with the skull.

White men were already in the Americas at that time , so I suppose there could be a faint chance of a corpse making its way across the Pacific to be washed up on the Australian coast . Also the Portuguese were visiting Australia and was actually discovered by the Dutch in 1606 , but nobody...

oops : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-23173628 Authorities in Peru say an ancient pyramid at the oldest archaeological site near the capital, Lima, has been destroyed. They are pressing criminal charges against two real-estate companies blamed for tearing down the...

Bizarre fall from grace . He used to be so good in the Hair Bear Bunch. :lol:

Glad you got that off your system . If you read my post carefully , you will see that it is not a 'demand' as you seem to read it , but what is called an 'opinion' - an opinion based on what I read , and an opinion shared with many other board members . This the problem with this board at...

This may or not be the best ghost photo ever , but the reason we are all on this site is that it covers areas we are geneally interested in . As such , we need to look at the whole picture and try to see any potential flaws or faults. The tone of this thread came over as one big wind-up , as...

It's a picture of a statue . What's scary about that ? Of course the negatives will show depth , as it is a photo of a solid figure . Or am I missing something ?

OK , April Fool's Day is over now .This thread needs to be locked. We're going round and round in circles and getting nowhere , and occasionally veers off topic . Any chance we could get back to some serious debate ?

Encountered this name today through my work : Eric Shaun.

Every time I see that picture , I reckon it looks like a man who is running . If you look closely at where the right leg should be , there appears to be a bit of a 'stump' , as if the leg is raised mid stride , and the other leg is behind the bollard . Still , interesting pic though .

I've just taken some photos , and looking back at them has reminded me of the pub photo. I live near an old asylum , which has been vacant for about 10 years now . A whole village grew up around it , where the inmates lived and worked , but now it is deserted . It has been used as a film...

Took me a while to see anything at all , but when I did I magnified the section to 400% and it is just reflection , nothing else. Still doesn't mean the pub isn't haunted though.

ha ha ha :lol:

Yeahh..the sturgeon thing is probably true in some cases , but the real Nessie is a eunuch eel. Like Stormkhan's poem though . You should set it to a tune :wink:

aaawww,,,,,,need a flickr account to view :(

Found out today that his wife is called Eva , and they have a daughter called Mary :rofl: .

I've been playing about with the photo on my PC , and when I increased the face in the window to 520% , I could see that the guy was wearing modern gear - looked like a football Tshirt . His face kind of reminded me of Steve Diggle , though . Maybe he was in there having a slas too :? . Or maybe...

There's a street near me called Dick Gardens. Also there is Freskin Place , which is not rude in itself , but it is when the local vandals decided to put an 'o' between the 'f' and the 'r'. About half a mile from there is Peniel Place which has had a similiar graffiti makeover.

This is an offshoot of the Sawney Bean legend . Apparently one of his daughters , Elspeth was hung from the Hairy Tree in Girvan , South Ayrshire (some accounts say she planted it). As can be imagined , the tree was not in actual fact 'hairy' , but had an odd appearance which gave it that...

Really good issue so far. I've read most of it already. The Dyatlov mystery was really weird and thinking about it got me extra jumpy on my walk back home through the countryside at 5 this morning. Got so nervous at one point I nearly fell into the canal :oops: .

Gabon's defence minister is called Ali Bongo.

Interesting name....Dr Payne :?

John Barrowman's at it now : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7759215.stm

The Spotlight Kid and Safe As Milk are my personal favourite albums , but I've never been able to get into Trout Mask Replica ... it's too weird :?

I usually think I live in a dull little village where nothing interesting happens , but apparently not : http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/edinburgh/Doorkicking-Santa-hunted.4643878.jp

Ok , I know it's not a persons name , but saw this in my local supermarket and it gave me a giggle :

When I lived in Turkey , I used to use this bus company all the time , Kamil Koc: http://www.kamilkoc.com.tr/

There's a guy just started at my wife's work.... he's called Barry Beaver :rofl:

Today I had dealings with Derek Smelly and Tom Flucker.

Some people you REALLY don't want to see wearing a thong :nah: : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/7314643.stm

No probs at all , and happy posting. I started this thread through an experience in my family (all explained in the initial post) , and it has been somethng that has fascinated me ever since. One thing got me thinking though.....in my initial post I mentioned that my aunt was bought the picture...

A gang of bikers sailing in a boat to murder him doesn't strike me as the Hell's Angels style though. Couldn't they just have ''accidentally" ran him over with their bikes instead?

Thanks for pointing all that out, but I started this thread back in 2005 , and that was when my point was raised. I live in the UK also and subscribe to FT so I'm aware that it is on the current front cover. My musing about downloading it as wallpaper was a joke. Sorry if you took it too...
