Water crystal replication study
An experiment tested the hypothesis that water exposed to distant intentions affects the aesthetic rating of ice crystals formed from that water. Over three days, 1,900 people in Austria and Germany focused their intentions towards water samples located inside an electromagnetically shielded room in California. Water samples located near the target water, but unknown to the people providing intentions, acted as "proximal" controls.


Other samples located outside the shielded room acted as distant controls...

Bigfoot was here
A local newspaper reported a couple of months ago that Bigfoot had been spotted emerging from Epping Forest - the hairy creature apparently leaping over a wall and into a pub garden. Further afield, Reuters recently reported on a team of Japanese explorers who claimed to have found the footprints of the abominable snowman in the folds of the eastern Himalayas...

Wind farm UFO 'like something out of Doctor Who'
Since we first reported sightings of UFOs near the damaged wind turbine at Conisholme we have been inundated with strange theories. People from all over the world have contacted us with their ideas of what caused the damage and the origin of the strange 'octopus' like UFO with tentacles seen hovering over the wind farm...

Benjamin Radford’s 2008 predictions
Benjamin Radford: I’ve spent much of the past decade searching in vain for solid evidence of psychic powers, investigating claims of “psychic detectives” who profess to have solved cases and found missing persons.

I’ve tested psychics who allege they know the future and communicate with the dead. So far, the evidence has fallen far short of the claims. So it’s not easy for me to admit this, but I’m pretty sure I have psychic powers...

Mystery roar from faraway space detected
Space is typically thought of as a very quiet place. But one team of astronomers has found a strange cosmic noise that booms six times louder than expected. The roar is from the distant cosmos. Nobody knows what causes it...

Where the wild things are
Venture out into the waters and woodlands of New England, and there's a chance you'll bump into "Champ," America's own Loch Ness Monster, who allegedly plies the muddy ripples of Lake Champlain. Or, perhaps, the Gloucester Sea Serpent. Or the Granite State Bigfoot. Or Connecticut's Winsted Wildman. Dare you wander into the dark-woven forests of Maine or the eerie and unexplored Hockomock Swamp, smack in the middle of the Bay State's allegedly supernatural "Bridgewater Triangle"?..

Stonehenge beneath the waters of Lake Michigan
In a surprisingly under-reported story from 2007, Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archaeology at Northwestern Michigan College, discovered a series of stones – some of them arranged in a circle and one of which seemed to show carvings of a mastodon – 40-feet beneath the surface waters of Lake Michigan. If verified, the carvings could be as much as 10,000 years old – coincident with the post-Ice Age presence of both humans and mastodons in the upper midwest...

Woman suspected of witchcraft burned alive
A woman in rural Papua New Guinea was bound and gagged, tied to a log and set ablaze on a pile of tires this week, possibly because villagers suspected her of being a witch, police said Thursday. Her death adds to a growing list of men and women who have been accused of sorcery and then tortured or killed in the South Pacific island nation, where traditional beliefs hold sway in many regions. The victims are often scapegoats for someone else's unexplained death, and bands of tribesmen collude to mete out justice to them for their supposed magical powers, police said...
