Full story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7698417.stm I'm not a fan of Brand, though I don't mind Ross, but hasn't this got a teensy bit out of proportion? How many of those complaining (and isn't complaining easy these days?) have actually heard the programme? I did hear it...

Bet she didn't see that one coming ... Mystic Meg, one of Britain's most famous astrologers, dies aged 80 https://uk.yahoo.com/news/mystic-meg-one-britains-most-094200095.html

So I'm a fan of Karen Carpenter - sue me! Now, most folks are familiar with her story, and know that anorexic behaviors were the main reason for her untimely demise. Having seen Karen Carpenter Superstar and read about her life, I really thought that her death was caused by vomiting food up...

While on a trip into the Big City to visit the National Army Museum yesterday, my eagle eye fell upon a blue plaque en route to the attraction. Closer inspection revealed something that might be of interest to peripatetic Forteans: Image courtesy of National Heritage (as my iPhone shot was...

I was listening to the excellent Maltin On Movies podcast, hosted by longtime movie critic Leonard Maltin and his daughter Jessie, and their guest was Tracy Nelson (the episode of June 7th, 2019). She is the daughter of Rick Nelson and granddaughter of Ozzie & Harriet. Aside from excellent...

Today's Guardian features an interview with artist Tracey Emin. She tells of her traumatic recovery from cancer surgery and an encounter with a "black apparition". If you click the hyperlink through to her earlier article, she also saw the ghost of her dead cat...

A Chinese actress passed away last year. However, when I heard the news, I noted that the actress had passed away a few months ago. At first I did not take it seriously, however, I accidentally discovered a video that could support my memory. The first photo is a snapshot of the Wikipedia page...

Had a conversation about this with someone a few years back. The famous person can be alive or dead. For argument's sake, a way to decide is "If you showed a photo or painting of a person to everyone in the world and asked them who it was and to briefly describe what the person in the photo...

Is There Life After Death - Moderated By John Cleese.

This has bugged me for years. You may recall that back in the early noughties - circa 2004 or thereabpouts - the illusionist and confidence trickster Derren Brown was a big name on television. This was on the back of a TV series in which he performed a series of fiendish stunts on members of...

Reading about theatre history and yet again came across stories about Les Dawson seeing the ghost of Sid James, not long before his own death. And it's clear that whatever he saw, was absolutely terrifying. But I can't seem to find an account I thought I found a while back, that did actually...

Has anyone heard this one? Some people believe that Wonder's blindness is a sham, and have various bits of 'evidence' to support their claim. Perhaps the most famous of which is this: A lot of the rest is personal anecdotes from other celebrities like Boy George and Donald Glover, who doubted...

Here's an interesting take on the 'typical' NDE experience - Actor Martin Barrass died twice after a motorcycle crash and was resuscitated both times. He describes his trips to the pearly gates thus: “I’d experienced everything going black and then everything went bright white and there was...

Watching the Fugitive reminded me of David "Harry O" Janssen the star of the original tv series. I recall years ago someone on local radio telling Janssen's life story, or more specifically his frequent premonitions including of his own death. Trying to look it up online the only such reference...

Taylor Swift accused of being reincarnated leader of the Church of Satan in bizarre online theory Some people might argue that only the darkest of magic could guarantee stratospheric success seen by the likes of Taylor Swift. But now a genuinely bonkers theory has emerged suggesting The Swift...

Remember Roy Jay? I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't, but he was a British comedian circa 1984 who dressed in a convict's outfit covered in arrows and told jokes in between saying, "Spook!" and "Slither!". It's just that since he disappeared from view in the mid-eighties, there have...

I saw this: Source And had a look around for Mr Luckman and found: www.coasttocoastam.com/shows/2005/08/03.html His book is: Alien Rock: The Rock 'N' Roll Extraterrestrial Connection www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/07434 ... ntmagaz-21 www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743466 ...

I can't believe we don't have a thread dedicated to him. He's on www.coasttocoastam.com right now for the next two and a half hours if anybody has access to AM radio. He had a small part in "Waking Life" if anybody has seen that, I highly reccommend that movie. Oh and Techy you would love...

Apologies if there are other george best threads but I'm just curious about how much Best has been drinking for the last 30 years. I mean I drink 4 pints of 4% lager every night, maybe 6 at weekends. I know that is more than the recomended daily amount of 1ml, but I'm sure there are people...

Well, they died, but there's a story that goes with their deaths that is highly unlikely. For instance, Mama Cass never died from choking on a ham sandwich, she suffered heart failure, and Elvis Presley didn't die straining on the toilet, he had a heart attack while reading on a chair in his...

Anybody here a fan of the Carry On series? Are they considered fun and witty or just one step above Benny Hill or what? I've only seen two, Carry On Screaming and Carry On Up The Jungle, but I thought both were pretty fun. But I know some things that are funny are pretty universally liked...

Probably not the right thread but however... I just read Vercingetorix's post about They died too young and when I saw this: It reminded me of a topic I posted either here or somewhere else about this disproportionate number of rock stars whose lives ended at the age of twenty seven...

Do any of you have any stories involving Kirk Brandon and esoterica, or just Kirk Brandon and Spear of Destiny......which I suppose is esoteric in nature....I always thought that KB and his band,were the next big thing that, but for one reason or other, were close,never quite got...

This one's been doing the rounds for ages, cult Blockbusters presenter Bob Holness is frequently reputed to have played the saxophone solo on Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". I think this is a myth, but if he didn't, then who did?

Is it me or are famous people dropping like nine-pins. Usually you seem to get them 3 at a time, but over the last fortnight/3weeks there seems to have been God knows how many. Are we just short of news, and thus more are being reported, or is there something more sinister at work?

Has anyone else come across the astonishing appearance of a celebrity/personality in the media that you thought had died many years earlier? This seems to have happened to me on a number of occassions. Each time, I have a hazy recollection of reports of the persons death. So what is...

Elvis as religious, cultural, social, media Icon. In a thousand years will Las Vegas be the new Mecca/Vatican? Will " In Elvis we trust" appear on the new world order banknote? Are we now watching the slow growth of a new Messiah. Is it my imagination or is the instance of recurrence of the use...

Does anyone recall a prediction involving Wilfrid Hyde White. He was at a horse race when he heard an announcement of the winners of a race that had yet been run. He said that if the race was not run before his death he would leave the names of the runners and riders with his solicitor. This was...

Uri Geller....what do you think? For a long time I have been interested in UG and the powers that he claims to have. Overall I think he is a pretty decent human being, although he may not have been in his earlier years. The big question is.............. is he genuine ? does he have the powers...
