I drove through that exact stretch about a week before your sighting - nothing unusual on my end, but the moors at night do this thing where your eyes start playing tricks regardless.

Hello everyone. After a fairly lengthy discussion among the mod team - and yes, it did involve a shared Google Doc that got quite heated at one point, which is peak Quirk Reports - we're...

Swamp gas. Next question.(Kidding, kidding. Genuinely interesting report, and good detail on the conditions.

Goathland area has a surprisingly decent history of reports actually. There was a cluster of sightings in 2003 and again in 2011 that got a brief mention in the Whitby Gazette if I recall...

I can probably save everyone some time here: the MOD regularly runs night exercises out of RAF Fylingdales which is basically on your doorstep out there.
The constructive engagement question at the end of your OP is the one I keep coming back to. I've tried sources, I've tried patience, I've tried asking people what evidence would change their mind...
Bit late to this thread but I visited Stonehenge with my kids last summer and the English Heritage audio guide is actually pretty good now - much more honest about uncertainty than it used to be.
Right, so I know how this is going to sound, but bear with me. Last Tuesday (14th, around 11:40pm) I was driving back from my mate Dave's place near Goathland - yes, the Heartbeat village, get...

What actually gets me is that the people pushing the ancient alien angle - which thankfully seems to have quietened down a bit - are simultaneously insulting indigenous ingenuity and failing to...
The Atlantis one is my nemesis. I've been on this forum since 2009 and every eighteen months or so someone discovers Graham Hancock and arrives absolutely convinced that there's a global...
Julius Caesar was closer to us in time than he was to the people who built Stonehenge.I've used this exact fact at the pub and it has never once failed to make someone go quiet and stare into...
For what it's worth I sent a fairly polite letter to the journalist who wrote the Telegraph piece, not angry, just pointing out the specific historical errors in it (he got the date of the fire...

Came here to be snarky, stayed to be genuinely moved by this thread. Not a regular on the mediumship side of things - I'm usually over in the cryptids section arguing about whether big cats on...

I don't think the frustration is entirely fair though. The reason alternative theories keep cropping up isn't (usually) stupidity - it's that official archaeology has a genuinely poor record of...
Went to the village about two years ago, just as a curious visitor rather than an investigator. The church is still there and it's a beautiful, very quiet place. The locals are...
The Romans thing genuinely baffles me every time. Like, we have Roman-era writings that reference Stonehenge as an already ancient and mysterious structure. They thought it was old!
As someone who's been practising for twenty years and has sat in front of a lot of sceptics: I'd rather have the honest question than the polite pretending.
Great thread. Bookmarking this. Also slightly depressing that the most detailed analysis of these files I've read in years is on a forum called Quirk Reports rather than in any actual newspaper.
why were bones there, what do the independent witnesses from the 1880s describe and why are those descriptions consistentThese are the right questions and I'd add: why is the existing literature...

That's a fair point above but also a bit uncharitable as a first assumption. Most hotel evening events aren't running facial recognition on attendees.
