Sightings and reports of lake-monsters, sea-serpents and other similar, unidentified creatures date back hundreds of years. Their names include Ogopogo, Manipogo, Champ, the Loch Ness Monster, Morag, and even Big Wally. Yes, I know: the name of the latter beast hardly provokes thoughts of a savage, marauding beast! In fact, Wally sounds quite the opposite.

One of the strangest of all Cryptozoology-driven cases from the U.K. occurred in January 1879. The location: Bridge 39 that spanned (and that still spans) the old Shropshire Union Canal, England. There are a number of online articles on the affair – that involved the sighting of a large, chimpanzee-like animal that bounded across the

If the name ‘Denver Riggleman’ rings a bell, it could be because he’s a U.S. representative from Virginia. It could be because he appeared recently on “Meet the Press” about his battles with QAnon supporters. It could be because you’ve downed a shot or two of his craft whiskey. However, if you follow the paranormal

Genetic and environmental factors contribute to schizophrenia.  Science has not yet determined how these two factors interact to produce the diverse array of behavioral and neurochemical changes in the brains of these patients.  During the past few years, scientists have focused on the role of the gut microbiome as an underlying cause of some aspects

In the late spring of 2015, my brother-in-law paid a visit to my sister’s grave, in a lush meadow cemetery amid the Gatineau Hills of southern Quebec. My sister had been dead, at this point, for seven years, and the couple had been separated for twelve. Doug sat in the grass among planted geraniums for

Some parents don’t need spooky stories or horror movies. The real terror already lives within the walls of their homes. To be clear, I’m talking about little children. Kids can be incredibly eerie. They seem innocent but sometimes appear highly sophisticated. And when they communicate, it’s often in such a simple, uninhibited way that many

Sonar reading taken by Ronald Mackenzie. Picture: Ronald Mackenzie/Cruise Loch Ness Another startling image of a large creature inhabiting the depths of Loch Ness have been captured on sonar. It follows the revelations last month of the “most compelling” and startling evidence of the existence of a Loch Ness Monster after an unusual recording more

Who doesn’t like a good scary movie? Or a tale of adventure that spans the dimensions of time and space? The Chinese Communist Party routinely censors movies, newspapers, television and social media within China that criticize its repression in Tibet, its crackdown in Tiananmen Square and, of course, its censorship. But why would the CCP

Not just one or two individual Bigfoots -  but how about Bigfoot families living in the Pine Barrens? Eric Spinner is a local South Jersey Bigfoot Researcher who was recently interviewed by Eric Mintel, a Pennsylvanian who studies Bigfoot and everything weird and paranormal – when he’s not playing jazz music. Mintel recently interviewed Spinner

Tales of an alleged, massive, multi-leveled underground base at the town of Dulce, New Mexico abound. Largely, the stories began during the controversial saga of Paul Bennewitz, a scientist based in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the time. We’re talking about roughly from 1979 to the mid-1980s. Bennewitz was subjected to a wave of UFO-themed disinformation

For the entirety of my career as a journalist covering paleontology, I’ve been wanting to know: What does a dinosaur’s butthole look like? When I wrote My Beloved Brontosaurus, a book about dinosaur biology, the chapter on reproduction required a lot of time imagining the nature of

After millenniums of careful slicing and dicing, it might seem as though scientists have figured out human anatomy. A few dozen organs, a couple of hundred bones and connective tissue to tie it all together. But despite centuries of scrutiny, the body is still capable of surprising scientists. A team of researchers in the Netherlands

Just a few weeks ago I was contacted by a Los Angeles-based painter named Jo. She is intrigued by the Men in Black phenomenon, as well as the issue of the Black Eyed Children. Jo has an interesting (intriguing, even) theory concerning why the MIB, the BEC, and the Women in Black, seem to spend

James Randi, a famed magician known as “The Amazing Randi” and a scientific investigator who debunked sensational claims of paranormal and occult occurences — has died. He was 92. The James Randi Foundation announced his passing in a tweet, saying he died of “age-related causes” on Tuesday. Randi was remembered on Wednesday by magician Penn

Replicability Crisis and Psi Research The replicability crisis has been illustrated by the results of nine experiments conducted by Bem (2011) and reported in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology as supporting the existence of precognition. As Romero (2019) explains “although the finding persuaded very few scientists, the controversy engendered mistrust in the ways

Alien encounters can truly run a wide range, from the almost believable to the outright absurd, and sometimes these encounters can happen to otherwise sane and upstanding witnesses. In some cases even the most upstanding and believable of witnesses have come forward with accounts that seem to veer right off into the outer edges of

The Majestic 12 documents, alleged alien autopsies, ufologist Bill Moore, crashed UFOs, a program designed to destabilize scientist/UFO researcher Paul Bennewitz, and the FBI’s file on Stan Friedman: they have all been under my microscope – so to speak – over the last week. Now, it’s time for me to wrap up this strange saga

Three fossils found in a lignite mine in southeastern Yunan Province, China, are about 6.4 million years old, indicate monkeys existed in Asia at the same time as apes, and are probably the ancestors of some of the modern monkeys in the area, according to an international team of researchers. “This is significant because they

There are many theories as to how the coronavirus entered the White House and infected dozens of people, including the President of the United States. One group not involved with debates, rallies, hospital stays and the like is suddenly getting an unusual amount of attention due to the date the president’s first positive test for

 McDonnell Douglas In a blog post dated 22 September 2020, I had a look at a UFO project undertaken by a group within the McDonnell Douglas Corporation, in the timeframe 1967-1970. At one point in the post, I quoted from the October 2008 (pp3-8) issue of the MUFON Journal. Author Robert M Wood, wrote: “The

By Tim Binnall In response to a growing furor surrounding their decision to sell Ouija Boards at an incredibly low price, a chain of discount stores in England have pulled the controversial items from shelves. The British equivalent to an American dollar store, Poundland made headlines last week when it was discovered that their seasonal

Some of the most sensational UFO accounts are those that revolve around these strange craft coming down to earth. The Dreamy Draw Recreation Area, in the U.S. state of Arizona, is a rugged desert park next to Piestewa Peak, formerly called Squaw Peak Mountain. The area is known for its quaint beauty, hiking and horseback

The U.S. Navy recently admitted that, indeed, strangely behaving objects caught on video by jet pilots over the years are genuine head-scratchers. There are eyewitness accounts not only from pilots but from radar operators and technicians, too.  In August, the Navy established an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force to investigate the nature and origin

by John Greenewald, Jr. — The Black Vault — Originally Published 10/9/20 On May 12, 2020, Tyler Rogoway and Joseph Trevithick, investigative journalists with The Drive’s Warzone, reported on eight encounters by the U.S. Navy with Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). “Seven of them involve F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and occurred at various times between 2013 and

If an apocalypse is a good sign of extraterrestrial life, does that mean Earth is inhabited by space aliens? That’s a good question with debatable answers that can only be addressed by civilizations on other planets looking at us. At least, that’s the case if you buy the argument presented by a leading astrobiologist who

Are we alone in the universe? It’s a question whose answer—whether it’s yes or no—would philosophically and scientifically rock our world to the core. To find out, scientists have long been turning powerful radio telescopes to the cosmos. The theory is that, like us, other intelligent species are perhaps broadcasting radio signals with the distinctly

“If they had been called upon by the president to launch [the nukes] they couldn’t have done it.” Former U.S. Senator Harry Reid – known for instituting the secret Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program (AAWSAP) in the Defense Department to study UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) – appears in a newly-released documentary on

Photographic oddities are not uncommon – particularly nowadays when there are any number of ways that photographs can be manipulated. They are also easily debunked. Fifty years ago, however, people were much more willing to suspend disbelief, particularly if the picture chimed with themes of the day. So it was with the picture of the

In the next few hours a new documentary film about unidentified aerial phenomena—a.k.a. UFOs—and close encounters is going to be released. It’s called The Phenomenon, by director James Fox. I have had the privilege of watching it a few days before launch, so I could share my views on it with you. What follows are
