This is one of the most puzzling UFO cases on record. When I was a kid, there was a family down the street who had moved to NC from WV. They had lived near Flatwoods and knew some of the boys who saw the Flatwoods Monster, and they said they never doubted for a minute that the boys and the woman who was with them were telling the truth. I've read that some investigators say that the monster was actually an owl, which is moronic. What is it with so-called experts and owls? They said the Hopkinsville Goblins were owls. Do they really think people who live in these areas don't know what an owl looks like? If it had happened today, I might buy the owl theory because most kids now seldom go outside, and when they do, they're looking at their devices. But this happened in 1952, a time when most homes didn't even have a TV. Those kids and the woman who was with them were all familiar with the outdoors and they would recognize an owl when they saw one.

Something I don't understand about all these incidents is that the government always comes back with some logical explanation like it was just a spy satellite, or it was just a weather balloon. But if that's the case, why don't they show everybody it was just a spy satellite or whatever at the time instead of being so secretive? In this case, I don't believe it was just a spy satellite. I went to the Kecksburg UFO Festival a few years ago. There were people there who remembered the incident and no one believed that it was a spy satellite.

It's hard to believe that an educated man like Arthur Conan Doyle was so easily taken in by spiritualists, and that he believed the Cottingley fairy photos were real. From what I've read, he first became interested in spiritualism in medical school, but after his son died of Spanish influenza in 1918, he became more interested. His son, Kingsley, was fighting in World War I when he came down with the flu.

I think we've discussed this before but I don't know in which thread. Anyway, I was wondering why there are so many phantom trains, railroad ghost lights and haunted depots all over the country, but there are very few ghost cars, highway ghost lights or haunted bus stations and parking garages. What is about trains and railroads that create so many ghosts?

4 I don't know much about the Moors Murders but I've heard that Brady and Hindley were two of the most hated people in England. I would love to read an article about them on this site, where I know the information is accurate.I'm not really a fan of gory murders but I've seen things here and there about the Moors Murders and I would like to know more about them.

Did anyone ever figure out what was behind the clown madness of 2016?

Weren't the stone circles built by the people who came before the Celts? I thought that Druids worshiped in oak groves, not at stone circles, but didn't some of the Druids wear blue robes?
The photos are also interesting. I suggest that everyone log-in so that they can enlarge them.

So what were the results? The last I heard it was some kind of aluminum alloy but it was a lot thinner than what was known to be manufactured and more testing was required. There was also some kind of strange metal recovered from an old well in Aurora, Texas, where the UFO crashed in 1897.

I was just thinking about this story and when I was searching for it to re-read it, I found that it happened exactly 155 years ago today!

Wasn't there something about this on The X-Files once? I seem to remember a show where a couple of kids were parking and thought they had been abducted, and it turned out they had been made to believe they were abducted.

I somehow missed this when it was posted 10 years ago, but if it's true, then it makes a lot of sightings questionable. But why would the Air Force would want to release false information? I don't remember reading this article either, but I've heard of Doty and that he claimed to deliberately mislead people. I don't think he has ever been able to explain why the Air Force would want to mislead people about UFOs.

It's strange how there are legends and sightings of things like fairies all over the world.

It's easier to believe accounts of huge man beasts in a place like Maine, where there are extensive forests, than in populated areas where there aren't any place for creatures that size to hide.

I think the most haunted place in West Virginia may be the Lowe Hotel in Point Pleasant.

I think New Mexico is probably the St. James Inn in Cimarron.
We already have New York and North Carolina, so the next is North Dakota.
