Here is another story, called When Shadow People Attack . http://mysteriousuniverse.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/blackhandprint.jpg If taken at face value, this account confirms that the Hat Men are a distinct category of Shadow Creatures from the common Shadow Men. Furthermore, this account sugge...

My mysterious symbol. http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/355/e/0/mysterious_symbol_by_scottzaboem-d5ord2v.jpg I found this piece of paper on the counter at a gas station. The clerk did not know what it was nor how long it had been there. I took it home to test the power of image-based searches l...

Another Shadow Person sighting occurred in a recent episode of Jim Harold's Campfire. It's the first story of the episode about five minutes into the program. Link! Jim has started the habit of charging for his shows after the first ninety days, so grab it quickly.

This would be a terrible time to mention having such a thing. Only a man obsessed with self-promotion could be capable of such a thing. Either that, or he just has too much swagger to keep to himself.

Ron, is there a particular date that this incident happened? I am wondering if it corresponds to any of the human sacrifices which we know were being performed by the Shadowy Cult.

Regarding the Shadow People, I have little more insight to offer. From a publisher's point of view, my insight is that these creatures are extremely marketable. Their non-material nature makes them gleefully aggravating to document with physical evidence like fingerprints or footprints. At the same ...

I do not know much about medieval weaponry, but it isn't surprising at all to find a Luger in your grandfather's chest. Soldiers in all of the armies which fought in Europe during WWII collected trophies. Huge fortunes vanished during the Nazis' systematic looting of Central Europe. Although officia...

A good ending it will certainly be -- but for which character, Cynthia? Is it the Master, the Dark Lady, or Cinderella for whom you are cheering?

Your fearless and illustrious hero has been scammed. It happens more often than we in the news industry would like to admit, but happen it does. The antagonist of our story is the scammer, but with such an unusual modus that he got my journalist-senses tingling. It started when I was cleaning out ol...

I am more well read than most on matters of technological developments, but I am not handy. I will be no help in the construction, so I leave the labor in your capable and talented hands. Gotham Witch makes a valid point about simplicity. Many of the most useful features of such a project might not ...

What is this talk about the Hourglass Foundation? Hourglass is a charity which builds children's hospitals. I have personally hosted a local telethon to benefit them. It took place at the Saint Louis Hourglass Hospital. I have met a few of the vice-presidents and department heads and more employees ...

A-ha! I think I have a lead not very far from District of Columbia. Ron, if you see this first, please have Nemesis check her messages for a PM from yours truly.

As for the shadows, that is an unexpected twist. I love shadow people. I will begin investigating this new angle.

This ship, when it is identified, might deserve mention. A Japanese fishing boat, dislocated by last year's tsunami, was just spotted off the coast of Canada.

Certain electric stimuli can cause experimental subjects to perceive themselves from outside of their own bodies, so it is medically possible that this is an altered state of perception rather than an alteration of natural time. On the other hand, my yoga training has taught me that perceptions can ...

Hello B, weather control is a varied and wide subject. Some methods such as cloud seeding are recognized technologies by most meteorologists. The first patent for rain producing technology was issued by the U.S. federal government shortly after the War Between the States to a colonel who noticed tha...

The chupas have turned up again and again in different threads on this forum. In light of recent developments, I thought a fresh thread and fresh warning was appropriate. The infamous goat-suckers of Puerto Rican lore are not really what I am addressing here. The Puerto Rican chupacabras are small l...

I will check with my sources in D.C. and Virginia. Perhaps all of the trails are not yet cold. Ron, should I turn up anything warm, would you like me to post the information here or send it to you by PM?

Agreed, I think I will start a new thread chupacabras.

Might even go Lepreachan hunting. You have no idea how prophetic this statement turned out to be for me. Thank you for the warning, Nemesis. After I make some sense of it myself, I think I will post a story just such an encounter I experience today. Watch for a story which I think I will entitle RA...

To what extent the Mexica Alliance (a.k.a. the Aztecs) practiced human sacrifice is a matter of more than a little scholarly debate. I think they were all over that sacrificial action. Nonetheless, I am willing to believe your analysis, Gotham Witch. After all, you have access to evidence which I do...

My lawyer prefers that I call them "employees" or "associates." They are what they are.

Some time ago, I did encounter creatures which could pass between worlds, and they would have a beef with Cybermancer. Those monsters, however, could not fit into a workshop without tearing the roof off of it first. Also, that was the other Cybermancer at the time. I apologize that I can not be more...

I admit that I just looked up Namibia's page on Wikipedia. I was wondering if Professor Ali was near this region. No, he is on the far side of the continent. Nonetheless, I have been wondering about this description. The witnesses say that the beast is nearly hairless, but what if they are slightly ...

That medallion is definitely Mayan, not Aztec. Perhaps I can consult with some anthropologists who can narrow down its origins to a specific Mayan city. Ronin, to answer your question, I do know someone in Kyoto. She teaches English and Spanish at a private high school there. She sends me articles f...

Razor, I just had a thought. It might not be a spook that is spooking your place after all. It might be the place. Ley lines are thought to be pretty darn stable as this is why ancient cultures used them as navigational aids. They are alive, however, energy systems that are prone to changes. A new l...

Blue looks great on you, Miss Cynthia.

I did not know that parents were still naming their children "Serpens."

There are times when a reporter in the field could use some assistance. How far are you willing to travel?

Welcome to our little corner of the asylum, Sir Serpens of Clan Walker. I am glad you made it through that night while retaining the mortal coil yourself. I have no personal experience with nosferatu, but I understand they can be particularly dangerous. If you don't mind, I do have a few questions a...

I have nooooo idea what is happening with your new little bundle of joy, Ron-Esis. Frankly, I don't know that I care. Charles Fort is more my thing than Ian Flemming. I do, however, care very much about those cultists and their ceremonies. Can anyone here provide some more details about what happens...
