Chupacabras creature spotted in Michigan
On Saturday July 5, 2008 at approximately 4:41AM, I witnessed a strange creature as I drove south on N. Holly Road towards Holly Michigan. This event lasted 9-10 seconds. This incident occurred when I was under a mile away from Grange Hall Road. I was coming back from dropping off a volunteer that I work with at an art center in Davison. I didn't drink anything and wasn't on any medication or illegal drugs. I was drinking soda and I didn't feel that tired even though it was late. My speed was slower than the posted limit, about 45 mph, and my brights on. I do this so I can be prepared when a deer decides to cross my path. No other vehicles were present...

Where are all the dead sea monsters?

Mystery insect bugging experts at London museum
The experts at London's Natural History Museum pride themselves on being able to identify species from around the globe, from birds and mammals to insects and snakes. Yet they can't figure out a tiny red-and-black bug that has appeared in the museum's own gardens. The almond-shaped insect, about the size of a grain of rice, and was first seen in March 2007 on some of the plane trees that grow on the grounds of the 19th century museum, collections manager Max Barclay said Tuesday...

Haunted by the living
As twilight nears, the natural instinct for slumber is initiated within the human body. Nestling deep within the peaceful confines of one’s cradle of relaxation, a journey into the subconscious is about to commence. The human soul was never to be permanently imprisoned by the mortal flesh for the entirety of the gestation on earth. Dreaming and astral escape while the body lie dormant for bountiful hours is crucial to the health and happiness of the soul. Returning temporarily to our home realm on the other side, we subconsciously cross over nightly utilizing our physical unconscious state...

A skeptical examination of psychic phenomena
If you’re not familiar with the term, that’s okay. You’ve come across it under different headings, probably, be they ESP, remote viewing, or psychokinesis (PK). They are “psychic powers” or, psi. There’s a fair degree of likelihood you also believe in at least one of the above phenomena on some level. That’s understandable...

Extraterrestrials and the hollow earth theory
Alex Collier makes representation that Extraterrestrials that were brought into our universe through a Nazi created rapture in time, reside inside the Earth, and also subsurface in other planets and moons in this solar system. Alex Collier is an alleged contactee of alleged Ethical Extraterrestrials called Andromedans.

The propagandizing of the American public: The cult of science
In true American tradition, Paul Harvey, Jr. joined the cult of science in propagandizing the American people. You’re in dubiously good company. This past week, Paul Harvey, Jr. – who is, I guess, a “folksy” commentator – essentially lied to the American public. He state unequivocally that scientists had proven that all crop circles were man made by “pranksters”. This is flatly untrue. The huge majority of so-called crop circles are unexplained, having been created in a matter of hours, with the stems of the plant life being disrupted at the cellular level...

Secret chamber may solve Mexican pyramid mystery
Archaeologists are to open a long-sealed cave under a Mexican pyramid in the hope that it will unlock the mystery of one of ancient civilisation's greatest cities. The Aztecs believed the city was divine and identified it with the place where the sun was created. The tunnel entrance was discovered by accident in 1971 while workmen were installing a sound and light show. However, experts have never been able to say with certainty who built it and why it was suddenly abandoned...
