The Schoolmaster and the Silver Disc: How a Rural New Zealand Town Was Buzzed by Something That Defied Every Law of Flight

The Day the Street Disappeared: How a Liverpool Businessman Stepped Into a City That Hadn't Existed for Sixty Years

Saw something hovering over the tree line behind my house last night and I can't stop thinking about it
@Marko yeah that "brain keeps pulling you back" feeling is really significant actually - some researchers think its the mind trying to process something it doesn't have a framework for...

Saw something hovering over the lake behind my house last night and I can't stop thinking about it

The Ghost in the Photographs: How a Victorian Noblewoman Became Britain's Most Famous Spirit
@RonnieEntity and @Nobby yeah locations absolutely can have that - I'd call it residual energy rather than an active haunting.

Did anyone else hear footsteps on the stairs at the Bellhaven Inn last October?
@sam_williams the stopping right outside the door detail is really significant actually. That's not typical residual haunting behaviour - residual activity usually just replays the same path...

The Hound That Hunted Armies: How a British Columbia Mining Camp Was Stalked by Something Ancient and Enormous
The Nahanni Valley case is one of the most compelling cryptid reports we have from Canada. What makes it stand out is the sheer consistency - multiple independent witnesses across different eras...

Downtime this weekend - moving to new servers, heads up
@RiverNight save it as a draft somewhere offline just in case, nothing worse than losing a good write-up to a browser crash or whatever.

London Underground ghost stations - which ones are worth investigating?
Aldwych gets the most attention but honestly Down Street is the one that intrigues me more from a psychic perspective - Churchill used it as a wartime bunker and that kind of intense human...

Best practice for using thermal imaging in damp conditions?
I've recently picked up a FLIR E5 (cost me £850, bit pricey but worth it for the quality) and I'm planning to do some investigations on the Yorkshire moors over the next few months.

Borley Rectory: paranormal epicentre or just a falling down house?

Beast of Gevaudan - what we can learn from a historical cryptid case

POV: You're checking your phone at 3:01am
