Time travel machine outlined
A new concept for a time machine could possibly enable distant future generations to travel into the past, research now suggests. Unlike past ideas for time machines, this new concept does not require exotic, theoretical forms of matter. Still, this new idea requires technology far more advanced than anything existing today, and major questions remain as to whether any time machine would ever prove stable enough to enable actual travel back in time...
A Minnesota mystery: The Kensington Runestone
It's one of Minnesota's greatest mysteries. It's something that puts settlers in America well before Columbus. A Minnesota geologist thinks the controversial Kensington Runestone is the real thing and there is evidence that he says backs up the theory...

Burleson ... ‘for the good (after) life?’
Burleson has been growing by leaps and bounds, and people are moving to the community in droves. They attracted by the schools, churches and peaceful rural atmosphere. The problem, however, is some of them overstay their welcome. Recently, a group of Southern Paranormal Investigation and Research Intel Team, or SPIRIT, members conducted the second in a series of investigations into the afterlife of Burleson. They’re not talking about late-night partying...
Fermi believed in aliens? What a paradox!
According to “Dr. SETI”, H. Paul Shuch, from the official SETI League, “physicist Enrico Fermi, said to be a firm believer in the existence of extra-terrestrials, was frustrated by the lack of firm evidence of their existence”. Wait a minute, Fermi actually believed in the existence of aliens?..
New mystery fish photos
Here’s a new mystery fish photograph just received. Anyone have any ideas what it is? Although it is not a cryptid, it certainly is an unknown until identified. These photos are making the Internet rounds as evidence of a new world record piranha, an extremely dubious identification...
The last witchcraft trial
The age old practice of witchcraft has seen an explosive resurgence over the last few decades. In the past it provoked wild and insane persecutions that led to ridiculous witch hunts in which thousands died. The criteria for conviction were often based on hearsay and poor evidence, and the penalties were cruel and unwarranted...
Finding Sasquatch
Why Do I “Believe?” I believe that Bigfoot exists. That the Yowies, the Almas, the Yetis of the world exists. How can I say this when I’ve never seen one myself? Well, I said it’s a “belief.” I prefer terms like “informed opinion,” “strong opinion based on the data,” etc. rather than “belief,” for the word belief conjures up negative implications: zealotry, fanaticism, blind faith, stubbornness. If I’d seen a Sasquatch, then I’d probably be more vocal in the use of the word “belief,’ for, after all, I saw the damn thing. But in either case, “belief” is okay, believing in Bigfoot (or UFOs, etc.) is another matter...
Woman hears voices with a speech impediment
A Swiss woman who fell off her bicycle has yielded a unique insight into how auditory hallucinations are generated. The woman suffered damage to the part of the brain where speech is generated and could speak only in short, stunted words and sentences. Five months later, when she suddenly developed epilepsy, she began "hearing" voices with the same speech impediments as herself...
Are Peru’s Ica Stones safe?
Loren Coleman: Dinosaurs and men alive at the same time? I don’t really want to get into that discussion, but I want to alert you to the fact a “piece” of the evidence (pro or con) used by some to support their point of view in the debate, the Ica Stones, may be missing or damaged. The Peruvian earthquake of August 15, 2007, has resulted in some worry for them...
