Are Carolina Bay Craters Linked to Atlantic Ocean Impact and Sinking of Atlantis? - "It is stunning. What we see in our high-resolution sonar images are limitless, rolling, white sand plains and, in the middle of this beautiful white sand, there are clear manmade large-size architectural designs. It looks like when you fly over an urban development in a plane and you see highways, tunnels and buildings," Zelitsky said.  - Earthfiles

Holocaust of Giants - The first hint we had about the possible existence of an actual race of tall, strong, and intellectually sophisticated people, was in researching old township and county records. Many of these were quoting from old diaries and letters that were combined, for posterity, in the 1800s from diaries going back to the 1700s.- The Serpent Mound Mysteries

Ancient Atomic Warfare - Religious texts and geological evidence suggest that several parts of the world have experienced destructive atomic blasts in ages past. - Nexus

The Excavations of Carlos Ribeiro - My theoretical approach to archaeology is informed by the Puranas, the historical writings of ancient India, which posit a human presence extending much further back in time than most archaeologists today are prepared to accept (Cremo, 1999). Therefore I was intrigued when I learned of some anomalously old stone tools discovered by Carlos Ribeiro, a Portuguese geologist of the 19th century.- Nexus

Chupacobra, "It Came Back" - A key phrase kept ringing in the mind of Ana Reyes Tapia, the Viñas el Mar resident who lost 22 hens and 7 chickens under strange circumstances: "One of the policemen said: "It came back again." - Sightings

Sasquatch, Physical Evidence in North America -  "We were able to get back and make a plaster cast of those tracks. So, from that date on I had this large plaster cast of this huge human-like foot on my desk. And it didn't go away and I would raise it up once in awhile and think: 'There is really an important wildlife subject to be dealt with here.' But I was always trying to remain employable and credible and it was not a subject one could raise and not be laughed at or ridiculed. So I kept quiet, even with that for awhile.- Earthfiles

    Sasquatch, Part Two - The thing jumped on the hood of their pickup howling. It was a couple and the gentleman involved happened to have his deer rifle with him and just unloaded right through the windshield and the thing went howling off in the woods and left claw marks on the hood of the pickup. There have been a number of instances where these things have actually jumped on cars. Apparently the creatures in the Big Thicket are capable of being hostile, aggressive. - Earthfiles

Globsters, Octopus Giganteus and the Bermuda Blob - It was initially covered with fine hair, described by stockmen as being like sheep's wool, with a greasy feel. ... The animal had a hump of about four feet in front and tapered gradually to about six inches to what they presumed to the back. There were five or six gill-like hairless slits on each side of the fore part. There were four large hanging lobes in the front, and between the center pair was a smooth, gullet-like orifice. The margin of the hind part had cushion like protuberances about 2ft. wide by 18in. deep, and each of these carried a single row of spines, sharp, and hard, about as thick as a pencil and quill-like. There was no appearance of eyes or other organs.- Sightings

Chilean Businessman Sees Chupacabras - He claimed that the creature was larger than a condor as was brown in color, with wings, large eyes and something resembling feathers. He noted that the figure was very similar to the images constantly being shown in the newspapers: large eyes, a pointed snout and a horrifying appearance.- Sightings

Bigfoot On-the Prowl - First there were reports of a steel-clawed ``monkey-man'' in India, then a 10-year-old ``dog boy'' in Chile, and now residents of Canada's wilderness are reporting that ``Bigfoot,'' a hairy ape-man, might be on the prowl in northern Ontario, the National Post reported. - Reuters

Mystery Object Caught on Tape - A close examination of the footage appears to first show the object flashed by sunlight -- above the left tower -- a full 10 seconds after impact of the second airliner. The mystery object quickly streeks across the the back of the right tower before swooping down at a rapid clip and out of the camera's frame. - Drudge

George Washington's Vision - "And again I heard the mysterious voice saying "Son of the Republic, look and learn." At this the dark, shadowy angel placed a trumpet to his mouth, and blew three distinct blasts; and taking water from the ocean, he sprinkled it upon Europe, Asia and Africa. Then my eyes beheld a fearful scene: From each of these countries arose thick, black clouds that were soon joined into one. Throughout this mass there gleamed a dark red light by which I saw hordes of armed men, who, moving with the cloud, marched by land and sailed by sea to America. Our country was enveloped in this volume of cloud, and I saw these vast armies devastate the whole county and burn the villages, towns and cities that I beheld springing up. As my ears listened to the thundering of the cannon, clashing of sword, and the shouts and cries of millions in mortal combat, I heard again the mysterious voice saying, "Son of the Republic, look and learn" - Sightings

Who's Killing Cows? - On the rolling prairie that rises up here to become the wall known as the Rocky Mountains a few miles away, Mark Taliaferro points toward the field where the carcass of a cow was recently found. "It is not a natural death," said Mr. Taliaferro, a cattleman who has been ranching in north- central Montana for more than 25 years. "When you see it, I tell you, it makes a believer out of you that something weird is going on." - Sightings

Third Case of Pure Hemoglobin at Bull Mutilation - In addition to the dry, bloodless "cookie cutter" excision of the scrotum, the ear had been cut off, the tongue was excised from deep within the throat and a circle of hide had been removed from around the rectal area. Oddly, the penis had been stretched out of the abdomen towards the rear legs and three of the bull's four small nipples had been excised, leaving a triangular pattern of small red marks near the penis. - Earthfiles

Vampires In Old Czechoslovakia? - The largest "vampires' graveyard" was discovered by archaeologist Jaroslav Spaçek in the city of Celákovice, located a few kilometers from Prague. In this cemetery were buried alleged vampires in the late 10th and early 11th centuries. It is the only necropolis in the country exclusively reserved for the interment of vampires or more precisely, those who were considered to be such by their contemporaries. Fourteen adult corpses buried through the cemetery show evidence of anti-vampiric precautions.- Sightings

Mutilated Cows - Since the 1950s, unusual deaths called "animal mutilations" have been reported around the world. Both domestic animals and wild game have been affected, especially horses and cattle. Ranchers and law enforcement have long been puzzled because animals are found with the same pattern of hide and tissue removed - usually without blood - from the head, sexual organs, and rectum. There are no signs of struggle or tracks around the dead animals, not even the animal's own tracks.- Linda Howe

"People are using it to draw more business in." - WRAL

Sex-mad 'ghost' - People claim his presence in a house is revealed by an acrid smell and a puff of smoke. Victims then speak of being in a trance or dreamlike state as they are molested. -BBC

UFO Issues

Unidentified Aerial Lights Over Nashville, Tennessee on September 12, 2001 - The lights would appear. You could see the stars very clearly through the night vision on the camera, a very amazing device. But then, all of a sudden these unexplained lights would appear. Not only would they appear, but they would appear to come and go out of focus. With the camera faced on stars, the focus of the camera is going to be on infinity. So for some of those lights to go in and out of focus did not make any sense. What were we looking at? - Earthfiles
