Encountered something on the A66 near Penrith - still can't explain it
The A66 has weird reputation among lorry drivers apparently. I work for Tesco logistics and the lads talk about strange happenings near Penrith all the time.

POV: You're a cryptid in the UK and you've got to avoid CCTV
Honestly the UK cryptids just need to lean into it. Become famous TikTokers. "Day 47 of avoiding CCTV in the Cotswolds". Sponsored by Go Pro.

What's your go-to paranormal podcast during your commute?
I'm trying to expand my listening rotation and I'm getting a bit tired of the same old stuff. I've exhausted most of the big paranormal podcasts and I'm looking for recommendations that are...

Podcast review: "The Frequency" - episode 4 on Skinwalker Ranch is absolutely wild
Skinwalker Ranch is basically the cryptozoology equivalent of flat earth at this point. The place is contaminated with so much hoaxing and attention-seeking that anything that happens there is...

Just spotted something odd over Manchester - anyone else see it?
Could've been Chinese lanterns, mate. Loads of people let them off round here. They can form odd patterns if they're released together.

Does anyone else find the sceptics on this forum actually more entertaining than the believers?

Weird pattern: Mandela effects and recurring numbers - am I noticing patterns that aren't there?

Yorkshire moors hauntings - local legends worth investigating?

Hi! Skeptic here - is this forum going to drive me mad?
Honestly mate, you're exactly the kind of person we need here. The best paranormal communities have both believers AND skeptics actually engaging with each other. It keeps investigations honest.

Why hasn't there been a proper inquiry into the Rendlesham Forest incident?
The real scandal is that a US military base can have unauthorised airspace intrusion and the UK government just... lets it slide? Where's the national security angle?
