Figure this would have a better chance of surviving in the Media Center than on the main page, and I'll be adding youtube and podcast links from time to time as I come across them, so it fits.
This has been something that's interested me from a very young age, all aspects of mysterious stuff, whether we're talking forgotten or forbidden archeology or civilization (Atlantis, pre-colombian exploration of america, etc), unexplained events (like Tunguska in 1908, the lost Roanoke Island colony, etc), paranormal events like ghosts, the study of ESP and that sort of thing, conspiracy (ranging from JFK to stuff like the perpetration of the drug war and the infilitration of the media by US intelligence) and, of course, UFOs (which to me means "unexplained" not "extraterrestrial" but that's a whole other topic).
Anything could show up, and everybody should feel free to add whatever they like. Just try to keep it as civil and respectful as possible. This is not intended to be a DC thread; it's as much for entertainment purposes as it is to solve all the world's mysteries.
**Although if anybody posts anything from Third Phase of Moon they should probably expect me to kick them in the balls.**
Few things I like to watch or listen to in no particular order (most of this can be found on itunes as well...):

I grew up on a farm in SW Kansas in the middle of nowhere. While I was mowing the gigantic farm I happened to look straight up and there was a black helicopter hovering about 50 feet above me.
I watched it for a few seconds and it climbed up and left the area to the west.
Weird shit that freaked me out a little.
I've never experienced anything. Not UFO's, not ghosts, not anything in the woods, not anything I can think of. I'm not sure what ever sparked my interest in all this. I often walk late in the evening hoping I'll see something strange in the sky but no luck.
(Which may not be a bad thing, the last thing I really want to do is draw the attention of some inexplicable light in the sky...) [Reply]

Oh why not, they already have every email, text, phone call and porn link I've ever been a part of. More information than the grays will get from any anal probe. [Reply]

Would help out a lot..
You're a curious sort... if you see a subject that interests you, just start googling... you'll find a lot of bullshit, and you'll also find what you're looking for.
Dont count on this place to give you in depth material... go exploring. [Reply]

Shit, so many things mentioned in this thread. Basically anything that might not be known to someone that doesn't spend a lot of their time researching this kind of thing..
Like, I don't need an explanation for Atlantis, Illiminati, JFK assassinations and shit like that; as I'm sure most wouldn't. Just the more obscure, lesser known things would be nice to be accompanied by a brief bit of information.

This thread has encompassed a large variety of mysteries, some of which I'm not interested in. It would probably take me hours to Google everything that's been mentioned in this thread to date. [Reply]
I think most of the stuff has had some explanation, that's why I was asking. There's a lot of links and embeds, but the conversation jumps around a lot so it can be a lot of stuff to keep track of... [Reply]
It's not a problem, I was just asking if there was anything specific you wanted to hear more about...
I usually try to explain stuff as I go along, but sometimes I get caught up in a discussion or am busy elsewhere so I'm not able to. If you want to know about something, just ask. If there's anything I'm good at it's long, rambling messages that explain stuff in way more detail than anyone wants. :-) [Reply]

Have you experienced sleep paralysis?
JFC, I have a few times in my life, and it's terrifying. Once, when I was 15-16, I swore there was an alien in my bedroom staring at me for what was hours. I wouldn't (couldn't) move, I could only stare.
I finally convinced my body to attack it, only to discover that it was just an object in my room that appeared to be an alien.
No sleep paralysis, fortunately. Although maybe that's because of the sleep apnea and getting up about 300 times a night to pee. Speaking of sleep, I hardly have dreams. Although when I do they can be astonishingly vivid. At least it's astonishing to me. Maybe it's normal for everyone else. [Reply]

Scared the shit out of me.
Sleep paralysis is the worst. Nothing like starting your day with 5-10 minutes of actively willing yourself to move juuuuust a finger, or your wrist, . . . good Lord!! Is a toe twitch too much to ask?!?!? [Reply]

I'd need to know what episodes you're referring to to answer that. I only discovered that show a few months ago and haven't gone back very far. Also haven't watched the most recent one (maybe more than one).
(PR is a little trickier for me since it's video, I usually spend most of my time offline, and listen to podcasts on an mp3 player, so I tend not to watch it for a while and then catch up in batches...) [Reply]
