[QUOTE=piddlezmcfuz;19440320]Just the other day I found out I'm immune to electromagnetic "fear cages". For those of you that don't know what those are, they are when wires run around a room to make a cage of electromagnetism, which can lead to a sense of dread. This is why unfinished basements can be terrifying.[/QUOTE] You can't be "immune" to this. Don't think your special or something.

[QUOTE=OvB;19440851]However sperm whales can dive 3,000 meters. Not the bottom, but still really deep. Plus we've hardly discovered any percentage of the ocean to be certain whats down there. Each deep dive they discover a new species. Who knows what the ocean has in it. Remember when the giant squid was just something fishermen brought up dead from time to time? Or just something that washed up? [IMG]http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/660/apsquid061222.jpg[/IMG] Not anymore. There is also a [I][B]bigger[/B][/I] squid out there, the Colossal squid. [IMG]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8218/diagram.gif[/IMG] The blue whale is the biggest known thing [I]on earth[/I]. There are entire mountains and volcanoes underwater. Some which are bigger than Everest. As we speak another Hawaiian island is being formed while the others are slowly pushed west. It's an alien world, right on our own planet. :cthulhu:[/QUOTE] that truck reminds me of the :russbus:. Might be the shade of green...

[QUOTE=Cypher_09;19402235][URL]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2110145479236650834#[/URL] Is this real? If not, proof please.[/QUOTE] That was actually pretty fun to see. I sat through the whole thing. It's obviously fake though.

[QUOTE=Ickylevel;19443804]You can't be "immune" to this. Don't think your special or something.[/QUOTE] I don't get the sense of dread others do. Having a superpower that makes you immune to electromagnetism would be lame, anyways.

[QUOTE=sltungle;19289271]Hey, the Egyptians built the fucking pyramids after all (well, some would probably claim otherwise)! And they made a lot of engravings on the inside of those bad boys.

I have a thing for weird ass roads. [B]Clinton Road[/B] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/8zqlhg.jpg[/IMG] [quote] [B]Clinton Road[/B] is located in West Milford, Passaic County, New Jersey. It runs in a generally north-south direction, beginning at Route 23near Newfoundland and running roughly 10 miles (16 km) to its northern terminus at Upper Greenwood Lake. The road and the land around it over the years have gained notoriety as an area rife with many legends of paranormal occurrences such as sightings of ghosts, strange creatures and gatherings of witches, Satanists and the Ku Klux Klan. It is also rumoured that professional killers dispose of bodies in the surrounding woods - with one recorded case of this occurring. It has been a regular subject of discussion in [I]Weird NJ [/I]magazine, which once devoted an entire issue to it. Stories from Clinton Road also appear in the book [I]Convergence: When the Living Clash with the Dead.[/I] There are very few houses along the road and much of the adjoining property is undeveloped publicly owned woodlands (either City of Newark watershed or state forest) and the road itself is a narrow two-lane that receives little maintenance, is not part of New Jersey's county-highway system and was until fairly recently unpaved for some of its length, connecting two areas of minimal population and growth and thus having little traffic even at the busiest times of day. While it is not the only thoroughfare in northwestern New Jersey to have such a reputation, the continuing attention paid to it in the pages of [I]Weird NJ[/I] have ensured that it is the best known both in and out of the state[/quote] [B][B]Legends of Clinton Road[/B][/B] The Ghost Boy [quote]Supposedly, if you go to one of the bridges at the reservoir and throw a penny into the water, within a minute it will be thrown back out to or at you by the ghost of a boy who drowned while swimming below or had fallen in while sitting on the edge of the bridge. In some tellings an apparition is seen; in others the ghost pushes the teller into the water if he or she looks over the side of the bridge in order to save him from being run over as he was in life[/quote] The Druidic Temple [quote] A conical stone structure just east of the road south of the reservoir was said to be a site where local Druids practiced their rituals, and horrible things might come to pass for any intruder who looked too closely or came at the wrong time. However, the building's origins are easily explained: It is an iron smelter left over from the 18th century when the ore was common in the area and needed for the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War. It has nothing, at least not by design, to do with any religious observance. It is currently fenced off by the Newark water department to prevent any entrance and the liability for injury that might result.[/quote] Cannibals [quote] Some area residents warn that if you travel down the road at night and encounter a fallen tree blocking the road, you will have fallen into a trap set by local natives and you must turn around immediately before they cut another tree down behind you. If you are captured, you will be eaten. Who would be doing this is sometimes unspecified or varies, but it is most often attributed to the Jackson Whites, a pejorative name for the Ramapough Mountain Indians.[/quote] Cross Castle [quote] In 1905 a man named Richard Cross built a castle on high land near the reservoir. Later in the 20th century it fell into ruin after a fire destroyed part of it and became a popular destination for hikers and local teenagers looking for secluded locations to camp out and have parties. It was also widely believed to have played host to gatherings of Satan worshippers and their sacrifices. Several past visitors have written to [I]Weird NJ[/I] telling of strange occurrences in or near the castle site, such as people going into seizures and bruises appearing on their bodies afterwards, or having strange, disturbing visions. Writings on the castle's interior walls, particularly in areas that were supposedly inaccessible, that suggest Satanism have also been reported. Newark's water department razed the castle as an attractive nuisance in 1988, but the foundations remain and several hiking trails can still be followed to the site.[/quote] The Iceman [quote]One day in May 1983 a bicyclist going down the road noticed vultures feasting at a spot in the nearby woods. He investigated and discovered it was a human body. An autopsy found that the man had died of foul play but also something initially puzzling: ice crystals in blood vessels near his heart. His interior organs also had decayed at a rate far slower than his skin. Pathologists concluded that someone had frozen his body after death in an attempt to mislead investigators into believing he died at a later time than he actually did. The man was identified as someone on the periphery of Mafia activities in nearby Rockland County, New York. The investigation ultimately led to the 1986 arrest of Richard Kuklinski, a New Jersey native involved in Rockland organized crime who confessed to being the killer of not only the victim at issue but a veteran hit man for the mob. He claimed to have killed over a hundred others and similarly treated their bodies, which earned him the nickname "The Iceman." He pled guilty to five of the murders and received two life sentences, which ended with his death in March 2006.[/quote] More [quote] [LIST] [*]Besides the ghost boy, there have been other ghosts described by [I]Weird NJ[/I] readers. One claims to have seen a ghost Camaro driven by a girl who supposedly died when she crashed it in 1988 (any mention while driving the road at night is supposed to trigger a manifestation). Another claims to have encountered two park rangers one night while camping with friends near Terrace Pond, a glacial tarn on a ridge accessible from the road by hiking trails, who in the morning turned out to have been the ghosts of two rangers who had died on the job in 1939. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Strange creatures, from hellhounds to monkeys and unidentifiable hybrids, have been caught in the glare of headlights crossing the road at night. If not of supernatural origin, they are said to have been survivors of Jungle Habitat, a nearby attraction that has been closed since 1976, which have managed to survive and crossbreed. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Some visitors to the area report also seeing people dressed weirdly at odd hours who simply stare at those who see them and do not speak. Sometimes these people disappear or are apparently not seen by those present. [/LIST]Reports of KKK activity in the area may come from the presence of the German-American Bund, which maintained some camps in the area in the years prior to U.S. entry into World War II. A number of local residents also were reportedly Bund members. [I]Weird NJ[/I] also has published email from a correspondent who claimed to have been a practicing Wiccan and said that he and fellow adherents built shrines in the area and practiced casting spells, which he said accounted for some of the stories people told. He claimed there was a lot more of this activity than the magazine's editors knew about.[/quote]

You would probably be interested in Cuba Road then. It's another supposedly haunted road, outside of Barrington, Illinois. I can't find any good links to all the stuff that happens there, but the most famous is a house that appears at night in the cemetery that is on the road. Other things include a ghost girl that appears in the middle of the road, ghost lights, and a ghost 1920's car.

Number stations scare the shit out of me. Because they EXIST. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_cosmonauts]Lost Cosmonauts[/url] A supposed married couple, Ludmila Tokov and Nikolay or Anatoly Tokov reputedly disappeared. TASS later reported that an unmanned satellite roughly the size of a London bus had been launched, but had disintegrated during re-entry. Regardless of the existence of either Nikolay/Anatoly Tokov, the Torre Bert listening station in northern Italy purportedly picked up a transmission of a woman's voice, sounding confused and frightened as her craft began to break up upon reentry. Presumably the voice was Ludmila's, though no one knows how or why this name has become attached to the voice on the tape. The interpretation of the tape can be found at the website. There were reports of a couple launched on February 17, 1961 aboard a Lunik spacecraft orbiting the earth, reporting "Everything is satisfactory, we are orbiting the earth." at regular intervals. On February 24, 1961, there were some garbled verbal transmissions about something the couple could see outside their ship, that they urgently had to communicate to Earth. What happened is unclear, but communication was lost. Around the same time the listening station at Torre Bert reportedly picked up an SOS signal from a craft in space. As the signal got weaker, it was assumed whatever craft it was disappeared into deep space. Alexey Belokonev is reportedly one of three (two men and a woman) cosmonauts aboard a November, 1962 flight. The Torre Bert tower in Italy allegedly picked up a frantic set of messages relayed by the three occupants.

[QUOTE="Black Hope Cemetary"] Just outside of Houston, Texas, is a neighborhood filled with upscale homes and manicured lawns. In the early 1980s, Sam and Judith Haney settled in at the far western edge of the development. Sam described it as their dream home: “When we bought the house in Newport, it was the house that we had always been looking for. So, it was the house that we intended to stay at for a long period of time.” But there was a morbid secret about the Haney’s perfect home, one that soon turned their lives into a never-ending nightmare. Sam said it all began when a mysterious old man showed up at their door with an ominous warning: “This elderly man told me that he had noticed that we were putting a swimming pool in our backyard and that there was something about our backyard that I needed to know about. So I followed him around to my backyard and he pointed at the ground and said that there are some graves right here. And he marked a spot on the ground where they were. And I really didn’t know how to react to that. I didn’t know if he was just joking. I couldn’t understand why anyone would want to joke about something like that.” Using a backhoe, Sam decided to see if the man’s alarming claims were true. Sam says it wasn’t long before he hit something: “And at that point, we stopped with the backhoe and we got down into the hole and continued digging by hand. There were pine boards. When we lifted up the first board, we could see an indentation of a skeleton form. It didn’t take long to figure out that it was actual human remains.” The Williams’ discovered they had graves too Sam immediately called the Sheriff and county coroner who conducted an official exhumation. Most of the bones had turned to powder. But 25 fragments were found, some so brittle that they disintegrated when touched. A second coffin, located alongside the first, hadn’t been disturbed. Inside, two wedding rings were discovered on the frail index finger of the exposed skeleton. Judith Haney was mortified by the discovery: “They handed me the rings and it was sickening to think that I had desecrated somebody’s grave.” Wanting desperately to do the right thing, the Haneys decided to find out whose remains were buried in their backyard. The search led them to a longtime resident named Jasper Norton. Years earlier, Norton had dug several graves in the area. He told the Haneys that their home and a dozen others were built on top of an old African American cemetery called Black Hope. The deceased were mainly former slaves. The last burial was in 1939, and as many as 60 people were interred there in paupers’ graves. Jean decided to dig for the bodies The two people buried in the Haney’s backyard were Betty and Charlie Thomas. They died during the 1930s and their graves were eventually forgotten. Judith and Sam Haney made an extraordinary decision. They reburied Betty and Charlie in their yard, and prayed their spirits would rest in peace. But, according to Judith, peace was not forthcoming: “There was a clock in my bedroom and one night it started sparking and putting out a sort of blue glow.” When Judith checked the clock, she found that it was unplugged. That was only the beginning of the Haneys’ ordeal. On another evening, Sam went to work the night shift, leaving Judith alone: “I heard the sliding glass door open and I heard what I thought was Sam saying, ‘What you doing?’ Everything was quiet, the sliding glass doors were locked, and I thought, ‘Well, you know, you must be losing your mind. This really must be getting to you.’ But much to my amazement that’s not where the story ended. In the morning I awoke, went in my closet to get my red shoes, and I could not find them anywhere.” Sam backed up Judith’s story: “So, of course, I started looking for them and went through all of her closets where she normally puts things. And we just couldn’t find them. We had walked just a short distance from where the gravesites were and I could see something on the grave. And they were both side-by-side like someone had just picked them up and carried them over and laid them down on the gravesite.” Even more disturbing to Sam was the realization that this was Betty Thomas’ birthday: “And I kinda got the feeling that it was like Charlie was giving Betty a birthday present.” Judith felt she knew what was going on: “I began to come to the realization that this was not all in my mind and that this had to have some relationship to Betty and Charlie’s graves being disturbed. Their spirits were saying, ‘This isn’t right.’” The Haneys were not alone. A dozen of their neighbors also reported lights, televisions and water faucets turning on and off, and unearthly sounds and supernatural apparitions. Worse, these bizarre events were becoming malicious. Like the Haneys, Ben and Jean Williams thought that they had found their suburban paradise when they moved into the same neighborhood. But Jean said she never felt at peace in the house: “After we moved, in everything changed. When I tried to plant new plants, they just would not live no matter what I did. You know, fertilizer or whatever, they still would not live. And I constantly had a foreboding feeling, a feeling of things are not right or something bad is about to happen.” The Williams said that near their flowerbed, sinkholes appeared in the unmistakable shape of a coffin. The Williams would fill them in, only to have them reappear a few days later. The Williams also felt their ideal home was being invaded by a menacing presence. Random shadows slid along the walls, followed by whispered words and a putrid smell. At the time, the Williams’ granddaughter, Carli, lived with the couple. During the blazing heat of summer, Carli said she would stumble into bone-chilling pockets of ice-cold air: “It would be very, very chilly and you’d have this feeling of foreboding, or just, you know, like something wasn’t right. Anywhere in the house you’d have a feeling that you were not alone. Somebody was watching you. It terrified me to be in the house by myself. The toilets used to flush on their own. As the water went down I could hear, it was almost like conversations. You could hear people murmuring to themselves. It was a presence or spirit or something there. Something that wanted to be heard. Wanted me to know that it was there.” Jean Williams had no doubt as to the source of the disturbances: “I absolutely believe that all of these things happened to us because we were on the graveyard, and that we were simply going to be tormented until we left there.” Ben said he and Jean debated what to do next: “Me and Jean, we talked it over. And she said, ‘Well what can we do? Walk off and leave it?’ She said, ‘We ain’t got enough money to pay down on another home.’ I said, ‘We’ve always been fighters. We’re gonna stay right here and fight it and try to beat it.’” According to Ben, it wasn’t long before he got his chance: “I came home from work around ten after twelve from the midnight shift, and I walked straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and that’s when I seen these two ghostly figures. And they went straight backwards into the den. And then they started heading right down the hall to Jean’s. And it was standing right about a foot and a half from the end of the bed. The only thing I really thought of was, ‘They ain’t messing with me wife.’ As I dove through it, I felt a sticky cold sensation in my body.” Down the street at the Haney’s, Judith said the disturbances caused her life to unravel: “I was crying all the time. I was frightened. I was scared of doing my daily routine in my own home.” The Haneys decided to fight back in court. They sued the builder for not disclosing that their home was built over a cemetery, in part, so that everyone would know what was happening at their subdivision. A jury awarded them $142,000 for mental anguish. But a reversal ruled on legal grounds that the developers were not liable. The verdict was thrown out and the Haneys were ordered to pay $50,000 in court costs. Sam Haney recounted the total cost of their ordeal: “At that point we decided to file bankruptcy. All in all, we ended up losing the case, losing the money, losing the house.” The Williams also explored legal recourse. But they say that they were told that without definitive proof of a cemetery on their property, nothing could be done. It was then that Jean made a decision that she will forever regret: “That was the last straw. You want a body? I’ll show you a body. So, I thought to myself, I can dig about two feet a day and I knew I would reach a body.” But soon after she started digging, Jean felt ill. Her adult daughter, Tina, volunteered to finish the job. After digging for a half hour, Tina also fell ill. Carli Karluk was there that day: “I remember her saying that she was, that she felt funny. She was getting dizzy as well. She put the shovel down and she went back inside. And she just laid down on the couch. She’s like mom, daddy, I don’t feel right. There’s something wrong. The last thing I remember her saying was, ‘Mommy, take care of my baby, take care of my baby.’ And she looked so scared.” While waiting for paramedics to arrive, Jean tried to keep her daughter conscious: “Almost immediately her eyes started glazing over. And I was talking to her, trying to talk her out of dying. ‘Please Tina, talk to me.’ And all this time her eyes were changing until they got to the point where I knew that she wasn’t responding at all.” Tina had suffered a massive heart attack. Two days later she died. Jean burdened the blame: “I realize that I had desecrated another grave and now I’m paying. I told Ben, ‘We have to get out of here. It doesn’t matter what we lose, what we had.’ And I knew that if we didn’t, that I was not going to make it, because my fight was gone. I could fight no more.” The Williams escaped to Montana and later moved back to another house and another neighborhood in Texas. Today they are a happily growing family, no longer plagued by mysterious noises, horrific apparitions or heart-breaking tragedies. Back in their old neighborhood, none of the current residents have reported any paranormal activity. No one has ever been able to explain what happened to the Williams or the Haneys. [/QUOTE] Put chills down my spine that shit. Read the whole thing, it gets good.

Good threads always die too soon. Come on! [B]Shades Of Death Road[/B] (I'm not joking.) [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/sdcxo1.jpg[/IMG] [quote] [B]Shades Of Death Road[/B], sometimes referred to locally as just "Shades", is a two-lane rural road of about 7 miles (11.2 km) in length in central Warren County, New Jersey. It runs in a generally north-south direction through Liberty and Independence townships, then turns more east-west in Allamuchy Township north of the Interstate 80 crossing. South of I-80 it runs alongside Jenny Jump State Forest and offers access to it at several points. Several explanations have been given for the road's macabre name, none of which has ever been conclusively established. It has given rise to many local legends about ghosts and other paranormal activity along the road, many of which have been documented in [I]Weird NJ [/I]magazine and the accompanying book. These in turn have drawn more visitors to the area, to the infrequent annoyance of residents, who have in the past gone so far as to smear the pole holding the street sign (pictured) at the road’s southern end with grease or oil to prevent theft (Other signs along the road are in vertical type on poles and thus harder to remove and less desirable to display).[/quote] Origin Of The Name [quote] An official name as grim as Shades of Death is fairly odd, prompting interest in its origin. Unfortunately, this origin is old enough that it has been lost to history, but there are several theories. [LIST] [*]Some focus on the road's southern half, where the adjoining forest with its aged trees provides much actual shade from the sun on even the brightest days. Highwaymen or other bandits would supposedly lay in wait for victims in these shadows, then often cut their throats after taking what they had, or they would engage in fights to the death among themselves over women. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Or, it is said, the local populace would take revenge against these highwaymen by lynching them and leaving the bodies dangling from low-hanging tree branches as a warning to others criminally inclined. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]In the 1920s and 1930s there were three brutal murders along the road, one a robbery in which a man was hit over the head with a tire jack over some gold coins, a second in which a woman beheaded her husband and buried the head and the body on different sides of the street, and lastly one in which a local resident, Bill Cummins, was shot and buried in a mudpile. It was never solved. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]The twists and turns of the road have led to suggestions that it has led to an inordinate number of fatal car accidents, and supposedly the reflective guard rails along the road indicate where that has happened. However, the road had earned its name well before automobile use became common in the area. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Bear Swamp nearby was known as either Cat Hollow or Cat Swamp, because of packs of vicious wild cats that lived there who frequently and lethally attacked travelers along the road. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]A final explanation points to the Pequest lowlands and nearby Bear Swamp, used today for sod farming. In 1850, malaria-carrying insects were discovered nesting in a cliff face along the road. They flourished in the nearby wetlands of Bear Swamp, causing annual outbreaks of the disease. The high mortality rates due to the remoteness of the area from effective medical treatment cut a swath through so many families that a street once called merely Shade or Shades Road due to its tree cover took on the name Shades Of Death out of black humor. The problem was so widespread, that in 1884 a state-sponsored project drained the swamps, ending the threat. [/LIST][/quote] Ghost Lake [quote] Ghost Lake (unnamed on U.S. Geological Survey maps) is just off the road, in the state forest south of the I-80 overpass. It was created in the early 20th century when two wealthy local men dammed a creek that ran through the narrow valley between houses they had just built. They gave it its name from the wraithlike vapor formations they often saw rising off it on cooler mornings. They further named the pass Haunted Hollow. Visitors have reported to [I]Weird NJ[/I] that, no matter what time of night they visit the lake at, the sky above it always seems as bright as if it were still twilight. Several have reported what they believe to be actual ghosts in the area, especially in a deserted old cabin across the lake from the road, supposedly victims of the murders once believed to have given the road its name.[/quote] The Fairy Hole [quote]To the right of Ghost lake, there is a small cave, once used by Lenape Indians. Though the cave is now easily accessible, and also covered in graffiti, archaeologists who surveyed the area in 1918 found pottery shards, flint, and broken arrow heads. From their findings, the archaeologists concluded that "The Fairy Hole" was not often visited. It may have been used as a simple resting point for traveling or hunting Lenape, but with its close proximity to several known burial sites, it is possible this was a sacred or religiously important site. This survey was conducted before the creation of Ghost Lake.[/quote] Lenape Lane [quote] Lenape Lane is an unpaved one-lane dead-end street about three-quarter mile (1.1 km) in length running eastward off Shades just north of I-80. It ends at a farmhouse for which it is little more than a driveway, but halfway down there is space to park or turn around next to a wooden structure described as looking like an abandoned stable. Visitors to this stable site at night have reported extremely local fogs surrounding it and seeing apparitions in it, or sometimes even in clear weather. They have also claimed the air is sometimes unusually chilly, and feeling general unease in the area for no immediately apparent reason. Legend also has it that sometimes nocturnal visitors to Lenape see an orb of white light appear near the end of the road which chases vehicles back out to Shades Of Death. If it turns red in the process, those who see it will die. This may be due to an old tree near the end of Lenape that was never cut down when the road was built. As a result, the road forks right before the tree, and a big red reflector has been nailed to the tree to warn drivers. Legend says that if one circles around the tree and drives down the road again at midnight, a red light will shine and the driver will never survive. This light has been seen by many people.[/quote] The Polariods (This one freaks the shit out of me.) [quote] One day during the 1990s, some visitors found hundreds of Polaroid photographs scattered in woods just off the road. They took some and shared them with [I]Weird NJ[/I], which published a few as samples. Most of the disturbing images showed a television changing channels, others showed a woman or women, blurred and somewhat difficult to identify, lying on some sort of metal object, conscious but not smiling. Local police began an investigation after the magazine ran an item with the photos, but the remainder disappeared shortly afterwards.[/quote] You can see some of the photos here - [URL="http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/Polaroid%20Trail%20.htm"]http://www.abandonedbutnotforgotten.com/Polaroid%20Trail%20.htm[/URL]

[QUOTE=sltungle;19289271]Hey, the Egyptians built the fucking pyramids after all (well, some would probably claim otherwise)! And they made a lot of engravings on the inside of those bad boys.

[QUOTE=hl2poo;19289701]Long list of Copy & Paste. The Bimini Road Everyone has heard the story of the lost city of Atlantis, but what about the Bimini Road? In 1968 an underwater rock formation was found near North Bimini Island in the Bahamas. It is considered by many to be naturally made, but because of the unusual arrangement of the stones, many believe it to be a part of the lost city of Atlantis (first spoken of by Plato). Another curious element of this mystery is a prediction made in 1938 by Edgar Cayce: “A portion of the temples may yet be discovered under the slime of ages and sea water near Bimini… Expect it in ‘68 or ‘69 – not so far away.” In a more recent expidition, amateur archeologist Dr Greg Little discovered another row of rocks in the same formation directly below the first, leading him to believe that the road is actually the top of a wall or water dock. One possible natural explanation is that the “road” is an example of tessellated pavement, a natural phenomenon. Concretions of shell and sand form hard sedimentary rock which over time fractures in straight lines and then at ninety degree angles. They are quite common and a popular tourist attraction on the island of Tasmania. [/QUOTE] I went on a vacation to the Bahamas where I went snorkling around the "road". After snorkeling and scuba diving other places around the islands, it really just looks like all the other old eroded coastlines that are common around there. It even runs parallel with the coast, meaning that it is most likely compacted sedement exposed after the coast moved further north.

[QUOTE=Eleventeen;19481529]Number stations scare the shit out of me. Because they EXIST. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_cosmonauts]Lost Cosmonauts[/url] A supposed married couple, Ludmila Tokov and Nikolay or Anatoly Tokov reputedly disappeared. TASS later reported that an unmanned satellite roughly the size of a London bus had been launched, but had disintegrated during re-entry. Regardless of the existence of either Nikolay/Anatoly Tokov, the Torre Bert listening station in northern Italy purportedly picked up a transmission of a woman's voice, sounding confused and frightened as her craft began to break up upon reentry. Presumably the voice was Ludmila's, though no one knows how or why this name has become attached to the voice on the tape. The interpretation of the tape can be found at the website. There were reports of a couple launched on February 17, 1961 aboard a Lunik spacecraft orbiting the earth, reporting "Everything is satisfactory, we are orbiting the earth." at regular intervals. On February 24, 1961, there were some garbled verbal transmissions about something the couple could see outside their ship, that they urgently had to communicate to Earth. What happened is unclear, but communication was lost. Around the same time the listening station at Torre Bert reportedly picked up an SOS signal from a craft in space. As the signal got weaker, it was assumed whatever craft it was disappeared into deep space. Alexey Belokonev is reportedly one of three (two men and a woman) cosmonauts aboard a November, 1962 flight. The Torre Bert tower in Italy allegedly picked up a frantic set of messages relayed by the three occupants.

Keeping this thread alive with content. Anyway here is my 2 cent. [url]http://www.thatsweird.net/news48.shtml[/url]

i havnt had many strange things happen in my life, only one that i can really remember, i woke up one morning and saw something come round the table beside my bed, i thought it was my cat so i put my hand down to stroke it....and nothing was there, i could have sworn it was the perfect shape of my cat. so i got up and wnet downstairs to find the cat fast asleep on a footrest...... could it have been the ghost of the cat that died when i was 2? the sister of my now 22 year old cat?? also my dad has had many strange paranormal activities, mainly when he was little, one including a floor covered in snakes and the nthe devil coming up the stairs, not your stereotypical red, horned, brandishing a pithcfork devil, blond hair, muscley and apparently beautiful. another one, my dad always remmebered having 3 red indian guardians, who often sat aroudn a table playing cards whenver he encountered them, and when he was 17 he went to a medium convention or sumin like that, and some mad looking woman comes running up to him and says " why young boy, you are very lucky! it is rare for someone even to have one!" and then she ran off... wtf... and he had never told anyone about them in his life....... man i wish my life was eventful like that, maybe minus the devil part, i dont think id liek that.....

Extrememely good read, all of this.
