I totally love Tony Cornell. I wish I could have been his assistant I found this playlist on youtube of him talking about various things (albeit with added background spooky noise unfortunately).

The person who originally uploaded them has quite a few fortean things to watch. (The Cornell clips and others seem to come from a 1990s computer game or cdrom? I'm not sure.) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtxieALhAwK7iKNTGfqb_sg
1990 doc on the yeren.
dittoI always take the time to do quick .mp4 rips of these films for archivng!
Pirate treasure?As further confirmation that the pseudo archaeology circuit has vanished up its own backside, I briefly watched something called - wait for it - Pirate Treasure of the Knights Templar earlier on on Blaze.
Don't. Just don't. Even I have my limits.
Arrrr!Pirate treasure?
I switched off when the (American) guy started looking at old gravestones somewhere and getting excited when he found ones that were decorated with skulls and crossbones. Because that means pirates you see.
They are just memento mori. Very common at one time.I did wonder as a kid what a skull and crossbones on a gravestone signified, but none of the adults I asked knew the answer. Since then I was told it denoted the grave of a Sexton (grave digger). But I once visited a small cemetery where 7 or 8 such head-stones were in close proximity - a family of grave diggers or a Pirate crew ?

Sorry if I haven't searched the forum properly. But has anyone watched 'Surviving Death', the new series on Netflix? It's Very Good. There are episodes about near death experiences, end of life experiences, mediums, and my favourite I think is the last episode on reincarnation.
Obviously there are points where you think it would have been better to interject with a particular question. And there was one point (the 'spectra' / spectre polaroid film) where I said out loud 'you are having a laugh'. And it could be argued that none of it is evidence for anything existing after you die (as you can think of alternative explanations, not all mundane). But it is very nicely shot and presented, with a good selection of people interviewed (eg the president of the SPR, various other scientists, a variety of mediums, people who report experiences). It tends to leave you to draw your own conclusions rather than dissecting the various statements and personalities involved.
I thoroughly recommend. I'd be interested to hear what people thought - there are many interesting points to discuss.

A new film from the chap that brought us the rather good 'Room 237' (about people's conspiracy theories of 'The Shining' film) and 'The Nightmare' (about sleep paralysis).

It's about 'sim theory' or Is Anything Actually Real, are we living in the matrix, etc. and the people that believe this to be true.
I'm rather looking forward to it.

Judging by the general reaction online, it pisses off the believers for making them look pretty foolish, or even dangerous, and pisses off the non-believers for giving the believers screen time for their theories. But I like Ascher - if you're on the fence, or just like people-watching, his stuff is very entertaining.
Being neither a believer or non-believer looks like he should have included more of the science behind the theory rather than just having a pop at the "new flat-earthers".
