  • Dragons in Zoology, Cryptozoology, and Culture: Karl Shuker

    Dragons in Zoology, Cryptozoology, and Culture Of all the countless legendary beasts that have been conjured forth from the seemingly limitless capacity of the human imagination, none can remotely compare with the dragon for its sheer diversity of form, its symbolic significance, and its cross-cultural presence. Dragons are everywhere – still glimpsed in the living,…

  • Enfield Poltergeist: New Evidence Spotted On Google Maps.

    Found on Google Maps, this haunting image of what appears to be some form of spiritual energy is enough to chill ones very soul. The pictures I present here are genuine, have not been altered other than cropped, and may be found by searching Google street view (or whatever it’s called). I would like to…

  • Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal by Andy Roberts

    Strangely Strange but Oddly Normal is in my opinion one of the best books in the genre. I read this anthology with avid interest and an inane grin on my face. Not only does Andy capture the peculiar nuances of a Yorkshire childhood, he also manages to impart at least a little of his extensive…

  • Ghosts Of York by Rob Kirkup

    Ghosts Of York. Rob Kirkup Amberley. 12.99 9781848682368 Hmmmmm… This review is a bit of a difficult one for me. Although we both claim to be paranormal investigators, Rob Kirkup and I clearly have very little in common regarding investigative procedure – Of course I’m not saying that Rob and his team arent doing it…

  • Yetis and DNA and Bears… Oh My!

    You know that feeling you get when you come back from a really good holiday? That ‘same shit, different day’ aura that envelops you? That. Well… this actually… Yeti Hair Story The legends surrounding the existence of a large bipedal creature resembling a very hairy human appears to date back centuries and are pretty widespread.…
