Not my area really, I'm more of a SHC man myself. But I'd say get your mate to post the video here if he's willing - without footage this sort of thing tends to go nowhere fast and people just...
Not my usual area but I find this one interesting. The irrigation angle was pushed quite seriously by David Johnson back in the late 90s wasn't it - he reckoned the lines pointed toward...
Never been to Waverly myself but cold spots near staircases are interesting because theres always the sceptic argument about stack effect - basically warm air rising pulls cold air in from lower...
@TenebrousYorkshire happens a lot and people overlook the obvious explanations before jumping to anything paranormal.
@curious_stag makes a fair point but what I keep coming back to is the paw prints and livestock kills.
What I've always wanted to know about this case is whether anyone's properly tracked down the inquest records for the two sailors who died there in the 1880s.
Not really my area either (I'm an SHC man myself) but the Ochopee cases do stand out don't they. The Big Cypress Swamp gives it a lot of credibility as habitat - if something like that existed...
What kind of roof have you got? Slate or tile roofs expand and contract a fair bit with temperature changes overnight and can make some genuinely weird rhythmic sounds that really do sound like...
Not my usual territory - I'm mostly a spontaneous human combustion man myself - but big black cats are something I've followed a fair bit over the years.
@lanky_pilgrim what type of roof are you on? Slate, tile, flat? Makes a difference. Thermal expansion on older slate roofs can sound remarkably like footsteps, especially around 2-3am when...
@ParanoidOxfordshire makes fair points about ruling things out first. What were the actual movement patterns like?
Not really my usual territory - I'm more of an SHC man myself - but this caught my eye browsing through.
Few questions before everyone gets too excited:
Was it actually hovering or just moving...
Opening doors and footsteps are often just normal house settling or vibration from upstairs neighbours (if you're in a flat block).
temperature dropped quite noticeablyTrain approaching from distance can actually cause air movement and temperature changes as it displaces air in the tunnel.
ZoologyNerd: OK so as someone who actually studies predation patterns: the kills are consistent with big cat predation, but they're also consistent with wild dogs and other canines if you look at...
