    The Death Of PC Andrew Harper

    It looks to me like he grabbed the rope rather than was dragged by it. If you watch 50 seconds into this footage you can clearly see that Andrew clears the rope that is behind the car and then can only of clung onto it deliberately.

    Nobody's Fool by Bill Griffith--a book review from HExDS

    NOBODY'S FOOL The Life And Times Of Schlitzie The Pinhead A Biography by Bill Griffith I like nonfiction about the circus, the carnival, and the workers and performers who make them happen. So, I was in that section of the San Francisco Public Library recently (it's in the 791s), I was pleased...

    'Snowflake' UFO Above Rio De Janeiro

    From last November: this short video filmed in Brazil. Now the immediate source is the ridiculous Scott Waring - but he didn't film the video, so let's not be too quick to shoot the messenger. In fact I first came across this new sighting in the Russian hard copy press.The claim is made there...

    Narwhal Tusk Used Against Terrorist

    As you likely know, there was a terror attack in London yesterday (29/11/19) in which, sadly, several people died, several more seriously injured. The terrorist was subdued by, amongst others, someone wielding a narwhal tusk (acquired by someone from Fishmonger's Hall).

    The Somerset Gimp (Gimp Suit Man)

    Maybe not Fortean, but pretty weird. Gimp suit man terrorises woman https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-48982140 I think the photo she took of the guy makes it even moreso - not being a gimp suit expert (!) I was wondering if it's a mask he's got on, or if it's his lower face?

    Local TV Weirdness

    Kind of like the Max Headroom Pirate broadcast, this happened about an hour ago here in the West of England. BBC Breakfast handed over to the regional bulletin as per at around 6.55, but instead of the local anchor we got her voice, but something else entirely in vision (which does, oddly, fit...

    Israel has tried a variety of methods to disperse its periodic protests by Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) Jews: rows of policemen, officers on horseback, even a foul-smelling spray known as “Skunk.” But during last weekend’s protests in Jerusalem over the Eurovision Song Contest being held on the...

    Hi fellow Forteans I’m finding references to an incident earlier this year In East Anglia, UK with sightings of a triangular ‘blimp’ zigzagging in the sky and, much better than that, encounters by multiple witnesses with a humanoid, which left the witnesses with flu-like symptoms akin to...

    Lost Stuff

    Happened again. This time I took off my hearing aids in the car, carefully placed them in the bottom of my bag, got home and unpacked to find one hearing aid. They're expensive, so I went out by flashlight and examined the car and the driveway. I asked for it back and went to bed. In the...

Seemingly a WhatsApp number that you call leading to a response from a distorted faced girl who encouragea you to kill yourself.

    Ghost Tales From Everyday People

    I am 60 this year, and I have been amazed just how many rational people have admitted they have either seen or felt a ghost. I got to talk intimately with men and women when I was a nurse and carer, so perhaps they felt they could confide in someone who would give them a sympathetic ear. I...
