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...):

Basically I don't think there's any single end-all be-all answer to any of this stuff. It's like a smorgasbord of rare events.
I'd say I've had 20 or 30 "strange events" in my life I can't explain.
It doesn't mean that Aliens/Bigfoot/Nessie were there, it means very strange $#it I can't explain happened.
30 is probably an underestimate.
But I didn't decide it was religious/alien/goblins I decided to research this odd stuff and try and find similar events. I read up. I talked to people.
I found that a number of these things could be due to having DSPD and being sleep deprived.
I'd never even heard of dspd and I probably have it, although my sleep patterns are never constant.
In any case I've never had any kind of weird experience. Or if I have I don't remember it. Strange light in the sky a time or two but never anything extraordinary. Aside from that nothing. [Reply]

Really hard to explain over the internet - I'll just say It's very clear we have another tool to use - I think we all have done it where we make something happen by thinking about it a certain way. I never know I'm doing it - until I've already done it. Sounds weird. But especially in business - I frequently predict our business flow - I predict trends - i mention someone, they call. Just little stuff like that.
Not saying or trying to convince any one that I am something special, I mean I am but not w/ regards to that, I'm certainly not the original Steve Austin. I'm a huge dreamer, I wear it all over my sleeve, it's just I'm more of a do'er - so as a result I don't have time to focus on or perfect my matrix ways. [Reply]

After that, it disappeared through the canopy in about one half of a second, leaving scorched tree's and earth along the way... but yeah, they just "misinterpreted something".
The emotion the senior guy displayed while recounting it was all the tell I need, damn near started crying at the awe he felt... hard to understand some people writing guys like this off as having "misinterpreted something". Both made it very clear that they misinterpreted nothing at all.
And of course lets not mention their commanding officer, Col. Halt... what he later saw and what the ATC's later saw disproves any debunker for all time, they can all get bent.
I wanna see that! where is it?
damn I love this thread.
this is my shizzle. I grew up in the UP of Michigan and I sat and watched a team of.....whatevers......take a plaster cast of bigfoot. hahahaha! I know I know. but I was like 8 at the time and I just lived in the woods and I thought it was the coolest thing EVER! [Reply]

you've got some very interesting posts in here....some interesting ideas. one could make an argument that entertaining the idea of ufo's being real while at the same time discounting the possibility that after life, angels and demons could be real as well......one could argue that this seems illogical?
I'll say this....if ghosts are real....I don't think they are human. if they are real I think they want us to believe they are or once were human....but I don't buy it. if there's an afterlife and I could possibly be a ghost someday....I'm not willing to believe I'm gonna be stuck in my dilapidated house man! what a gyp!
as for the ouija board comment....
I've had a very few weird things...scary things happen to me....but only one time have I seen something that shouldn't/couldn't happen....only one time have I seen something like that and there was simply no questioning what I saw. there was no doubt.
I'd went to a friends house to spend the night. I was in the 4th grade. we were in his bedroom and he brought out a ouija board. I'd never seen one nor did I even know what it was or how it is "supposed" to work. he explained that you touch the planchette and ask questions and it will move and answer. bullshit. we touched it...asked a question and it moved. bullshit. you are moving it I told him. after a few attempts I was firmly convinced my friend was ****ing with me. he swore he wasn't so I asked that we put our fingers very very close but do NOT touch the planchette. I don't remember what question we asked....but we were sitting on the top bunk and I was watching his fingers like a hawk....and that sumbitch moved. not a lot...and not far...maybe less than half and inch....but he wasn't touching it and I wasn't touching it and I saw it move. 100% certain...it moved and we weren't touching it. in a split second I went from feeling confident and brave to immediately being filled with fear. I was off the top bunk and into the living room with his parents in seconds. as silly and uneventful as that sounds.....there is no natural explanation for it.
I wouldn't mess around with the damn things. just don't do it. [Reply]
