My Top 10 Favorite Weird Paranormal Subjects
In no particular order:
DOGMAN A creature reportedly seen in forests everywhere from Kentucky to Texas and more. This "being" is described most often around 6 foot tall to taller, fur covered, with a snout that is more like a bear than a dog, pointed ears and red glowing eyes, leaving behind dog-like paw prints even though he walks on two legs. Is it a myth and legend, mistaken identity of a bear, werewolf, shapeshifter, interdimensional being or alien DNA manipulation of man and dog? Whatever it is, it's freaking creepy as hell.
Learn more in the Linda Godfrey book, Real Wolfman: True Encounters in Modern America.
SHADOW PEOPLE These sometimes believed to be spirit-forms, show themselves as black dense, human-likes shapes, most often 4-feet tall, but sometimes 6 feet tall or taller, with no details, only a black dense shape. They seem to think we can't visualize them because the moment someone sees one out of the corner of his eye and turns to stare it down, it startles and disappears.

HOLLOW EARTH This theory involves the earth being hollow and made of several inner spheres that contain other worlds. Many carry legends that these inner worlds can contain anything from those UFOs and aliens we keep running into to the concept of lizard people who utilize our cave system to come and go from their world.

FLYING HUMANOIDS These are a more recent phenomena filmed in lots of locations but mostly in Mexico, California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada areas. What are flying humanoids? No one knows, but they have a shape and hovering ability like a man in a jet pack.
MOTHMAN A "creature" reported around the town of Point Pleasant, WV before a tragedy. This winged creature with red eyes and upright like a man, was reported to have been seen by citizens, even mind-melding with someone to give insight to a coming horrible event. This harbinger/prophet has been reported in other locations around the globe before tragedies.

POLTERGEISTS This "mischievous" spirits can toss things around, claw at and injury humans, and manipulate objects. The biggest questions for researchers has been whether this originates from the dead or the living.

INTERDIMENSIONAL PORTALS This concept has come about from locations like Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, Bennington and Bridgewater Triangles and other locations where earth lights are seen, UFOs, aliens, Bigfoot, and lots of other weird stuff is reported. For some, these might be the entry and exit from other dimensions.

ALIEN DNA MANIPULATION The theory is that man evolved into a sentient intelligent being much too quickly and the huge holes in the evolutionary chain point towards alien manipulation to produce an efficient being for this planet.

PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT A supposed experiment aboard a Navy ship in the 1940s to try and see if they could create invisibility that resulted in some extraordinary events where the ship seemed to jump through a portal and ended up hundreds of miles away instantaneously, the crew became made or some of them even fused to the ship's hull when it reappeared again. This legend has taken root and been a very popular conspiracy theory.

ANCIENT GIANTS Supposedly ancient "giant" skeletons have been found around the earth, measuring 7 feet to up to 12 feet tall with double rows of teeth. Was there an ancient race of giants? Or were they aliens or Bigfoot?

Top Ten Conspiracy Theories Number 2

pseudohistory
Atit Reheated Our Most Viewed Story Ever The Indrid Cold Story Alien Lore No 186
-eating grin" on his face. According to researchers who interviewed the boys, he: "was over six feet tall, they agreed, and was dressed in a sparkling green coverall costume that shimmered and seemed to reflect the street lights. There was a wide black belt around his waist. THE BOYS ALSO SAID "He had a very dark complexion, and little round eyes...real beady...set far apart." Oddly, "They could not remember seeing any hair, ears, or nose on this figure." During the Mothman sightings, the grinning man is alleged to have telepathically told a witness his name was Indrid Cold.THE GRINNING MAN IS AN OBSCURE FIGURE associated with Alien Lore. Some scholars and observers believe he is an alien, and others that he was one of the government's Men in Black. Indrid Cold is thus far his best known incarnation. He has been investigated by notable paranormal author John A. Keel and ufologist James Moseley.THE MOST FAMOUS SIGHTING OF THE GRINNING MAN went down on October 11, 1966 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. James Yanchitis and Marvin Munoz were walking home along Fourth Street. Yanchitis noticed the weird man first. "He was standing behind that fence"," he told investigators, "I don't know how he got there. He was the biggest man I ever saw. Jimmy nudged me"," Marvin Munoz told the cops, "and said, 'Who's that guy standing behind you?' I looked around and there he was... behind that fence. Just standing there. He pivoted around and looked right at us... then he grinned a big old grin." During the same period of time, on that same street, on the same night, a middle-aged resident of the neighborhood was chased by a "tall green man" The boys skedaddled as soon as they saw The Grinning Man.ACCORDING TO PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR/journalist John A. Keel, and the UFO lecturer James Moseley, Munoz and Yanchitis were interviewed by them separately and told the exact same story. "The man was over six feet tall, they agreed, and was dressed in a sparkling green coverall costume that shimmered and seemed to reflect the street lights. There was a wide black belt around his waist." The freakiest part of the encounter is that "They could not remember seeing any hair, ears, or nose on this figure."THE GRINNING MAN, A/K/A INDRID COLD was linked to extraterrestrials due to a UFO report in the same area. A report states that a "blazing white light as big as a car" almost hit a 550-foot tall television tower near Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. A policeman and his wife witnessed an object move in a slow arc north, until it disappeared over some nearby hills. On the other side of those hills, two other cops--Sgt. Benjamin Thompson and a Patrolman, Edward Wester, of the Wanaque Reservoir Police, witnessed the same light at 9:45 p.m. as it flew over the reservoir. "The light was brilliantly white," officer Thompson said, "It lit up the whole area for about three hundred yards. In fact, it blinded me when I got out of the patrol car to look at it, and I couldn't see for about twenty minutes afterwards."NUMEROUS GRINNING MAN SIGHTINGS HAPPENED in 1966, about the same time as the West Virginia Mothman sightings. They are reported by John A. Keel in chapters 5 and 10 in his book "THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES."ON NOVEMBER 2, 1966, a man named Woodrow Derenberger was driving his panel truck home after work when he heard a crash. A vehicle raced up behind him, cut in front of him and slowed down. Derenberger said the car looked like "an old fashioned kerosene lamp chimney, flaring at both ends, narrowing down to a small neck and then enlarging in a great bulge in the center"." THE UFO STOPPED ON THE ROAD, and a door slid open. A man stepped out, wearing a "glistening green" uniform like the outfit worn by the New Jersey Grinning Man. Naturally, he was grinning.THE MAN COMMUNICATED WITH DERENBERGER telepathically and said his name was "Cold", and asked him strange questions, and the two talked for a few minutes. The Grinning Man said he would visit him again.ANOTHER CASE DETAILED IN THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES BOOK, happened in the home of the Lillys, a family living in Point Pleasant. The Lillys claimed to see strange lights in the sky right above their home at least every night, and experienced strange events in their house. Mrs. Lilly said "We've seen all kinds of strange things...blue lights, green ones, red ones, things that change color. Some have been so low that we thought we could see diamond-shaped windows in them. And none of them make any noise at all." Automobiles near the Lilly home would stall for no reason, and kitchen cabinets and doors inside the Lilly home would slam inexplicably in the middle of the night. Mrs. Lilly said she sometimes heard a sound like "a baby crying" throughout the inside of the home. JOHN A. KEEL, WHO INVESTIGATED THE LILLY FAMILY, asked "Did you ever dream that there was a stranger in the house in the middle of the night?" Linda Lilly, the daughter, said she had seen "a man, a big man. Very broad. I couldn't see his face very well, but I could see that he was grinning at me. * Keel, John.

1992 Enormous Ufo Ship Vanishes Into A High School
......I came to a stop light and I noticed a red truck in the lane going North suddenly an enormous ship appeared it covered houses and apartment buildings the road it was circular shaped and had lights around the bottom part of it, I honestly dont remember the underneath of it. A little old man in a red pickup truck got out of his truck and watched it as well, I did not talk to him or think about it.
I was standing outside my car at the stop light. As the Ship crossed all the buildings and road it moved very slowly and as soon as it was across the road
completely is accelerated into a very high speed to where it vanished I jumped back inside my car and followed it to where I had believed it vanished inside Highland High school inside the School it was pitch black yet
outside the School were the parking lot is was still light out,.....I could say a lot of other things that have happened since then and recently but I am afraid to say or tell anyone. I just dont have proof, I just dont. So I am going to make sure I carry a camera with me every where I go. The truth is there is others from another world visiting us. I have seen laser beams, smaller ship tiny in formation making forms of aircraft, indescribable miraculous things,......there is some secretive things I havent said that has happened in my bedroom visual things. But even I myself cant believe them and it happens only at night..

Ufo Sighting In Ontario On July 4Th 2013 Reddish Orange Glowing Balls
I was outside getting my dog inside when I saw a light and thought it was a helicopter over the 401. The local police only have one helicopter, so after the third sighting I thought the objects were flares, but flares don't move in a horizontal direction. I witnessed about the 30 objects heading in north west direction as if they were following the highway. The seemed to follow the same path and have the same altitude. After several minutes I went to the front of my house to see the path these things were taking and asked my neighbours to come outside to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Both my neighbours witnessed the same reddish orange objects flying in a straight line every 10-12 seconds. They saw about 6 in total. The objects appeared to be ascending in a slight incline as they headed towards the west - but this could be my angle of observation - before I lost sight of them. I could tell by looking though a hole in a tree across the street foliage these objects weren't too high but I couldn't tell the exact angle. I heard no sound from the objects only the background noise of the city. The speed moving across the sky was approximately the same as a civilian aircraft. When I was researching my experience on the internet some comments and website suggested Chinese Lanterns but these objects were moving too fast in what appeared to be a purposeful direction on what appeared to be a almost windless night. Both of took some pictures but the objects appear to be mostly red and more dull on mobile. Let me know if you want them. However, my personal email is down right now; should be up tomorrow.

Donald Keyhoe Once Upon Time
Intimates fundamental sharp in flying disks were the military or associates fundamental to the military, such as Donald Keyhoe.
But where consume the way, in he very late 40s and 50s, the UFO interpretation switched from a military start to an interplanetary start.
Why did that happen?
It wasn't neutral the unknown exercises and peculiarity of the flying disks, but changeable substantiation from family who seemed to plague been confronted by creatures and craft that defied human or Earthian imagination.
Offer was no, and hand over has been no, up evidence to show that UFOs fill in from self-reliant this Soil, neutral a happen of circumstantial detritus that is easier seen as extraterrestrial than in any other way.
Ufology has alleged the dreadfully affectionate of hide as that of other "ologies" - astrology, graphology, demonology, et cetera.
Intimates invoking a pseudo-scientific stop to the phenomenon are quacks, and plague no documents that desert their prognostications. Yet, hand over they are, bigheaded to co-opt the study of UFOs with a charlatan's zeal and slander.
UFOs defied arrangement gone the military character reference got lost in the obvious space interpretation of the sound effects.
No one buzzing today is tasteful ample to line of attack the UFO snag if yes indeed UFOs do fill in from chairs self-reliant this Earth's topic.
But successive if UFOs plague originated from military sources in this authorization or others, who in the UFO town is imaginative of discerning that possibility? No one. The UFO investigators are mischievous in their ability to assemble evidence, successive understandable evidence, of a military explanation for the crafts seen by witnesses who are eminent for their malformed observations.
And if UFOs are a phenomenon of mode that is not wordless, who among ufologists has the intellect to search out that impossible to make out phenomenon? No one. Ufology is satisfied with amateurs who are self-appointed experts, without portfolios of any bulky affectionate.
On one occasion the Keyhoe era shifted to mavericks with delusional agendas, many steady frenzied to this day, the uncouth UFO arena became glutted with tyros who plague never seen a flying encircle themselves nor concerned, first-hand, any punctual aftermath of a sighting; all checking out the comings and goings well after anything priceless engine capacity be resolved.
The Keyhoe kick were subsumed by UFO mavens steeped in science fiction or cultish religiosity. And the vestiges of that coiled mob is steady unhurt today, 50 kick after the curious objects became visibly blatant.
Culling possessions from organizational archives, accumulating monitor substantiation, and rehashing the raft of information about UFOs that is the foundation of the phenomenon's longevity give not, cannot, arrange the mystery.
But egos are at besiege, and the occupation of firm ufologists' lives plague to be salvaged, At the back all, firm plague used up their uncouth existence delving all the rage the phenomenon, nap currency, inborn ties, and a normal sensibility about life. They now famine an imprimatur or else they give go to their graves with burn to show for their Don Quixote-like stalk.
Yes, gone upon a time, flying saucers were grist for bulky study or installment. That is no longer the case, and hasn't been for many kick now....

Cosmos Under Fire
The opening sentence of the feature began with the question "why do people believe in phenomena such as UFOs, alien abductions, psychic surgery and ghosts, when the evidence is so scant and unconvincing?" What?! The evidence may be unconvincing to some - but SCANT? I think not. Obviously Wilson de Silva, editor provocateur, is living under a mushroom. Scant evidence of the UFO phenomenon? He's got to be kidding.
The article goes on to infer that we're all suffering from collective delusions complete with "false or exaggerated beliefs that arise spontaneously, spread rapidly in a population,, and temporarily affect a region, culture or whole nation." This mass hysteria, which apparently we suffer from, contains many factors that "contribute to the rise and spread of such collective delusions, such as rumors, extraordinary public anxiety or excitement, shared cultural beliefs or stereotypes, and amplification of these by the mass media, as well as reinforcing actions by authorities such as politicians, the police or the military." Huh?
But wait - there's more. Carl Sagan, now deceased born again UFO supporter turned skeptic, (no he hasn't reincarnated) is quoted as saying that "the scientific method and the clarity it brings can help us overcome our fuzzy thinking. Thinking critically and clearly," he says, "is the means...by which deep thoughts can be winnowed from deep nonsense." The article goes on to quote Sagan as arguing, "it is far better to grasp the universe as it really is, than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
Well right back at you Carl.
Next in de Silva's list of quotees is retired stage magician, skeptic and founding member of CSICOP, James Randi who states "that real science searches for the truth through rigorous methods; it strives to leave no questions unanswered; it provides solid evidence any other researcher can reproduce. Criticism and questioning is encouraged and constantly leads to an evolution of science in the face of new evidence." (cough, splutter) Who can disagree with that, if it actually ever occurred. All I ask is that people like Randi and his skeptical following stand in front of a mirror when they spout such insights.
But is the real argument here whether science, and inevitably scientists, are doing what they proclaim, or is the real issue about the psychology of those with different perspectives not being able to escape the instinctual need to harass, debunk, bully and inevitably ostracize people in the UFO community who think differently and challenge their rusty herd mentality? To explore this let's ask ourselves how a skeptic might handle a claim about UFOs from a magician. What if the UFO community held up an opinion from such a person to support an argument for the reality of UFOs? Don't you think they might ask how the opinion of a stage magician claiming to be a "scientific investigator who exposes the falsities of pseudoscience" (see www.randi.org) can be offered to shed light on anything of a paranormal nature? I think they would. No strike that. I KNOW they would and they'd scoff loudly in the face of those who entertained such "silliness and delusion".
Meanwhile, back in the real world, it seems de Silva remains unaware of credible witness testimony when it comes to the UFO phenomenon, although he does present a mascot photo of Edgar Mitchell with the caption "Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has claimed there is a US government cover-up about alien visitations" but that's as far as he appears willing to go in debunking a witness who holds 3 science degrees, one of which is a PhD, plus 4 honorary degrees in engineering (see www.edmitchellapollo14.com/edmbio.htm). Perhaps if Dr Mitchell had a background in magic de Silva might go further.
The feature goes on to include the debunking of Crop Circles, stating, "it's hard enough to conceive why intergalactic aliens would opt to write in grain fields rather than public parks or on a piece of paper." This is where Randi chimes in with his thoughts that, "the irrefutable evidence, of course, is that crop circles are hoaxes, perpetrated by pranksters, artists and children." Predictably, Randi points to "the adventures of Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, who came forward in the early 1990s to admit they were behind the original crop circles that kicked off the craze in Britain." He seems to have conveniently forgotten that the crop circle phenomenon came to public attention in the last 1970s and botanical documents containing descriptions of such formations date back to the 1800s. This only covers the English speaking world so we have no idea how long such things may have existed in locations like China, South America or Africa.
It goes without saying that obviously hoaxes exist. We also know that human teams of people will go out into the fields and create this land-art for reasons not associated to hoaxing per-se. Whatever the driving force there seems to be a phenomenon within the phenomenon that makes us want to talk to each other in this manner. Now THAT'S weird!
But I digress. Apparently getting a skeptic to look at the evidence for genuine formations is a hard act to fulfill as David Guest, plant pathologist and agricultural scientist at the University of Sydney, proclaims there is no documented evidence to be found anywhere. Has Glass actually asked for this documentation or merely made a flying visit to the web site of BLT Research in Massachussetts, the worlds largest crop circle site that uses scientific methods to test plant samples. My guess is it was a quick visit followed by a declaration of debunking.
Honestly, after reading this feature which also explores the so-called "delusional" results of homeopathy and chiropractic manipulation, one wonders how long this magazine will remain in circulation when it's contents fly in the face of the public who are living better lives because of these modalities. But I digress.
Cosmos is obviously written by skeptics with a cause - or is it a vendetta? Either way skeptics need to realize that it is THEY who are the minority group here. As they have clearly demonstrated through their own behaviour, that their fragile psyche would be the first to crumble into a jibbering heap if ET did make open contact.
I don't know if they realize it but from my perspective skeptics appear to be stuck and unwilling to move forward in this great learning curve we call life. Their behaviour is dishonest, uncivil, discourteous, unhelpful and invalidating to others. The skeptical approach aims to destroy the social bonds that naturally form when we behave in the opposite manner. It's as if they subconsciously realize this and lash out at others as a form of compensation. If they were honest enough to look deeply within themselves they might realize it is they who have isolated themselves from the greater tribe of humanity. In their effort to ostracize others through their condescending behavior they have actually ostracized themselves and inevitably suffer the consequences of their invalidation. Ultimately they have become their own victims.

Cassini Celebrates 10 Years Exploring Saturn
"Having a muscular, long-lived spacecraft at Saturn has afforded us a wealthy surpass," assumed Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "By having a decade here afterward Cassini, we assemble been secluded to view never-before-seen activities that are changing our image of how planetary systems form and what setting push specialty to habitats for life."
Late 10 time at Saturn, the pungent spacecraft has beamed base to Earth hundreds of gigabytes of mechanical data, enabling the newspaper of excellent than 3,000 mechanical reports. Vivid aptly a sampling, 10 of Cassini's top accomplishments and discoveries are:
-- The Huygens reach makes first landing on a moon in the farther solar system (Titan)-- Journeying of tireless, icy plumes on the Saturnian moon Enceladus-- Saturn's costume jewelry exposed as tireless and heavy -- a laboratory for how planets form-- Titan exposed as an Earth-like world afterward rain, rivers, lakes and seas-- Studies of Saturn's amazing northern stampede of 2010-2011-- Studies disclose radio-wave patterns are not together to Saturn's focus bend, as beforehand thought-- Trustworthy structures in the costume jewelry imaged for the first time-- Analyze of prebiotic chemistry on Titan-- Puzzle of the magnify, bright-dark happen of the moon Iapetus solved-- Cover whole see of the north ice-cold hexagon and discovery of giant hurricanes at every of Saturn's poles
Cassini in excess of its four-year primary appointment in 2008 and went on to yield dozens excellent flybys of Titan, Enceladus and Saturn's other icy moons unswerving its 10th anniversary in 2014. Credit: NASA
"It's unthinkably occupied to sum up 10 unfamiliar time of discovery in a depths list, but it's an obsessive preparation to cogitate about what the appointment choice be best remembered for common time in the far-off," Spilker assumed.

In cavalcade of the 10th anniversary, members of the Cassini appear certain assured of their dearest images for a gallery, relating in their own writing what makes the images special to them. The gallery is here at:http://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/news/cassinifeatures/10thannivimages/
Moment Cassini was originally qualified for a four-year study of the Saturn system, the project's engineers and scientists had high hopes that the appointment push remove on longer, and fated the system for strength. The spacecraft has been prominently clean, and from an trade deem, the central part limiting factor for Cassini's duration now is how noticeably propellant is left in its tanks. The appointment owes a amazing convention of its longevity to gain and well-run piloting by the mission's navigation and operations teams.
"Our appear has ended a respected job optimizing trajectories to save propellant, and we've astute to make evident the spacecraft to get the most out of it that we possibly can," assumed Earl Maize, Cassini project organizer at JPL. "We're proud to individual a decade of exploring Saturn, and we glance over blatant to common discoveries peaceful to draw from."
The Cassini-Huygens appointment is a friendly project of NASA, the European Distance Bureau and the Italian Distance Bureau. JPL, a division of the California Host of Tackle, Pasadena, manages the appointment for NASA's Science Task Directorate in Washington.
