Been interested in Mothman sightings since I was a kid in Suffolk. Finally found my people.

Beast of Gevaudan - what we can learn from a historical cryptid case
Does anyone else think our approach to categorising cryptid sightings is too tidy?Definitely. We want everything to be one coherent thing we can solve, when reality is probably just chaotic and...

Northern England bigfoot reports—are we missing something?
So most bigfoot/sasquatch discussion focuses on North America (understandably) but I've been digging into historical reports from northern England and Scotland and there's a weird pattern that...

Summer solstice experience—something odd over Glastonbury Tor, 21st June 1997
I've never posted about this before because honestly I thought I'd dreamed it, but a mate sent me a documentary last week about heightened activity around solstices and I had to share.

Poltergeist stopped after we redecorated - coincidence or something else?
the activity had been happening in other rooms too, not just hers. And those stopped as wellThis is actually more evidence for the anxiety-driven poltergeist model than against it.

EVP recording - real phenomenon or auditory pareidolia?
You've identified the core problem yourself. Controlled testing of EVP basically always shows it's pareidolia - our brains filling in patterns in random noise.

Revisiting the Classic: EMF Meters from the Rendlesham Days
Could be dodgy wiring in this old terrace, or could be something more interesting. Or you've just got a knackered meter and you're seeing what you want to see?

The Rendlesham Forest incident—why is this still so controversial?
I think Rendlesham is interesting precisely because it's *not* easily explained away, but it's also not conclusive proof of anything extraordinary.

Bodmin Moor Beast vs. Scottish Highland activity—anyone tracking both?
The migration theory is interesting but hard to test. These creatures (if they exist) would need sustained populations to migrate, and we don't have enough hard evidence of that.

Saw something massive in the Peak District - still don't know what it was
Cheers for sharing mate. The Peak District has quite a history of these reports actually. There was that 2009 incident near Buxton that got decent coverage in the local press.

MoD files released today - Rendlesham connection to Porton Down?
The Rendlesham timeline has ALWAYS been suspicious. The official story doesn't match the declassified USAF accounts. And Porton Down's involvement in various cover-ups is well documented.

EMF meters: how to actually use them properly?
The honest answer is that EMF sensitivity in relation to actual ghosts is completely speculative. But the data-gathering process itself is valuable because it creates a framework for...

Hi! Skeptic here - is this forum going to drive me mad?
Evening all. Fair warning: I'm a skeptic. I don't believe in ghosts, I think most UFO footage is explainable, and I'm generally the person at parties who ruins the vibe by asking for evidence.

Flatmate's convinced we've got a poltergeist - I think he's stressed and hearing things
most of it coincides with nights when he's stressed about work.This is actually the thing that suggests it's not paranormal right there.

What's everyone's "gateway" paranormal experience? Mine was weird
Love these threads 🔮 Mine was a poltergeist-type incident at my old flat in Manchester - things moving, inexplicable loud noises, electrical stuff failing.

Red orb spotted over Scottish Highlands - Fort William area, 8th November evening
The Highlands definitely get activity. There's less light pollution and fewer people watching, which means either fewer sightings are reported, or more are happening and we never hear about them.
