"We Are Galactic Babies" - The Daily Galaxy

"Something similar to the AI revolution may have happened at other points in the universe", according to Susan Schneider while dishing out her maverick theories to The Daily Galaxy. We're just curious if there's an extraterrestrial edition of The Anomalist floating around there. It's a big universe after all. But is Susan's reference to "AI revolution" code for Roko's Basilisk? Hopefully that's not an explanation for THe Great Silence. If it is, Abraham Loeb spills a few beans on the workable methodologies on SETI Scientists Deciding To Search For Radio Signals in hopes of answering the question, "Is 'Oumuamua An Alien Probe?" And they're not talking about one of these. Even if this interstellar "asteroid" lacks an alien origin, or motive, puny Earthlings still survey the stars in hopes of eavesdropping on Roy Neary's abductors. Some astronomers reckon We Haven't Found Aliens Because We Can't See Past Our Cosmic Hot Tub. Eric Mack's encouragement for Jill Tarter to expound upon her "Spooning the ocean for whales" hypothesis bears strange, and provocative fruit. (CS)

Argentina: Livestock Farmer Experiences Strange And "Inexplicable" Phenomena - Inexplicata

Keen readers will remember last week's recounting of Argentinian cattle mutilations followed by the mysterious draining of a nearby 32,000 gallon water tank. Thankfully Scott Corrales is sticking to the case like gum to his shoe, uncovering more strange correspondences and happenings than you can shake a stick at. While ending sentences with a preposition is a crime, Tim Binnall found another thread in the tapestry where a Farmer Points To Chupacabras As Culprit Behind Cattle Attacks.

The Cats From the Woods


“My dad got mad and kicked me out one night. It started getting cold so I slept against a barn. I woke up to something touching my leg. It was a cat. Well, it slept against me. Then five more came from the bushes in the woods and crawled up and slept on me, keeping me warm. One of the cats went back into the bushes and started bringing her kittens out and placing them on my lap, like four of them so I was covered by cats and kittens. Next day I got up and started leaving. The girl cat carried her kitten with her and when I got home she had followed me and placed it on my doorstep. I gave her milk and went in. The cat started scratching and making noises until I came out. When I did, she picked up the cat and brought her to me and walked away. I kept the kitten and the mamma cat would sit on my outside window sill and look in the home watching us. Then, when I'd come out, she'd leave.

The kitten got big enough to go out and I'd let her but she never left the front yard. The mamma would come and lick her and then go back to the woods. I don't know what it was but the kitten didn't meow or anything. It would make a sound that sounded like my name, 'Wade.' Then it would use its paw to tap me if it wanted anything. The cat lived two years and then walked out to the woods where it walked off with the cat that looked like it's mamma. I hadn't seen it in two years and it left forever.

The next morning there was a scratch on the door and a kitten was there. It looked close to my old cat and in the bushes was the old mamma cat looking. I picked it up and it (mamma) walked off. Two years later, I see the old cat or one really close to it on the window sill but it would leave when I come out. Is this weird or do cats bring more to you like storks? The kitten didn't meow but made the 'Wade' sound also and it would tap me also. She slept in same spot even though I got her a new bed in another room, she'd crawl, dragging my old cats blanket to my dresser and place it on it and sleep. Weird or what? Another thing that's important I forgot is that it would get my attention and look me in the eyes and hold it there like it wanted me to know something so bad but couldn't tell me. It hid my keys when I used to drink like it didn't want me to drive. It hid my cigarettes because, I guess, it did not want me smoke. She'd place them in litter box that she hated to use. She would go on the little flower bed by the front door, same as the other they were like twins almost reincarnated. That's best way to say it, it was like the same cat and it wanted me to know it never left. She would put a picture I had of the old cat and me on the couch and I'd put it on the counter and she'd move it back until I put it on dresser where she slept and she was so so happy.... I never saw anything like it.

People say cats are dumb but they're not. They're thinking and have a soul (or a memory of a past). I don't know, I'm lost over it. We're connected by something like fate.” - Jeremy Wade

Psychics Who Hear Voices Could Be On To Something - The Atlantic

It's always a joy to encounter one of Ten Thousand, as Randall Munroe put it, when a fellow human discovers something that's old hat to another human. In this case, Joseph Frankel's not arguing for the paranormal, while not completely dismissing the possibility. More provocatively, Joseph makes a strong case for the enduraning cultural, and psychological, impact of Julian Jaynes's theory of the bicameral mind without citing Jaynes once. Journeying deeper into the center of our minds, Jak Hutchcraft is our Virgil as you dare enter The Weird and Mystical World of Sleepwalking, made of equal parts creepy and science. Even in the 21st century, there isn't much need for science when it comes to studying the mind and consciousness since the phenomenon is deeply personal. Take Michael Grosso's meditation upon the The Mystery In The Mirror, and the mystery within ourselves with the capacity for unexpected transformation. (CS)

When Dozens of Korean War GIs Claimed a UFO Made Them Sick - History

In May of 1951 a bunch of GIs fired at a pulsing, "attacking" light, their bullets making a metallic ding as they hit the craft. Suddenly the men were “swept by some form of a ray that was emitted in pulses." Three days later, the entire company was evacuated by ambulance, suffering from dysentery and an extremely high white-blood-cell count. The story that emerged is but one of many interviews conducted by John P. Timmerman of the Center for UFO Studies; the reports that resulted from his interviews were collected in a book entitled Grassroots UFOs by Michael Swords, published by Anomalist Books. Robert Taylor of the UK was also personally Assaulted by UFOs: The Livingston Incident. J.P. Robinson recounts this classic episode, in which Taylor lost consciousness as small spheres with weird spikes attached themselves to his trouser legs. Whoa! (PH)

The Image on the Retina - Haunted Ohio

Chris Woodyard, inspired by Dr. Beachcombing, treats readers to a delightful bit of 19th century fiction wherein optography is used to reveal the identity of a murderer. However it was not so successful at healing a broken heart. Then in a more fact based--but no less fortean--tale, we hear of the deep connection between US President Garfield and his enormous Newfoundland dog, Veto. At his master's passing, Veto Goes Mad, and we will never know if it was canine heat stroke or some otherworldly connection that changed the dog's behavior forever that day. Finally, in what might be called an ultimate celebration of life (or desecration of a dead body, depends on your perspective), Posing the Corpse reflects on a tradition of making the dead part of their own funeral celebration. No doubt at a time when more people died from illness than lived through it, a fear of death was muted by a desire to live each moment to its fullest. Probably best not to become nostalgic over that practice though--neighbors would probably complain, although they did back then, too. (CM)

Exploring Canadian Monsters: Prince Edward Island - Mysterious Universe

Jason Offutt reports on the monster lore of Prince Edward Island, Canada, showing strong parallels to the province's Celtic background. The tiny yet incredibly beautiful province has been linked to sea serpents, fairies, a murderous flock of birds called the Sluagh which is purportedly comprised of the souls of sinners, and Bigfoot (because even the Hairy Guy needs some really great fries now and then). Evidently when he's not being a junk food junkie, he's invading the privacy of others. Elsewhere, was Bigfoot Caught Spying on Swimmers in Russia? The footage included in this piece is very inconclusive though, so we probably don't have to worry about the Hairy Guy joining the ranks of the growing list of high profile creeps. (CM)

About the interview, host Erik Davis writes: "In part one of our conversation, author, blogger, and dreamer Eric Wargo talks about uncertainty, determinism, Zen, the evidence for 'feeling the future,' and his brilliant and head-spinning book Time Loops: Precognition, Retrocausation, and the Unconscious."  Then in Faeries and Aliens, Neil Rushton gives a detailed review of Cutchin's Thieves in the Night , which he says "represents the most detailed attempt to date to collate both folklore and contemporary testimony in order to understand the phenomenon of supernatural child abduction...Cutchin’s wide-ranging evaluation is a real gift for future researchers into this complex subject."

Men in Black 'Hitman'


I recently came across the following account:

In the year 1999 my father was a taxi driver in North Dakota. In case you don't know 1999 was a scary year (Y2K) for hippies like my father. He and many others thought that the computers would reset everything to the year 1900 instead of 2000, and we would have to restart with old technology. He was preparing for the worst the whole year and my mother told him to stop because it was a stupid idea, but he wouldn't listen to her. He always thought the government was after him and watching him which made him even more paranoid.

He told me that in December of 1999 he thought he started seeing a stalker. A man who wore a black suit, a black tie, and a dark brown fedora. It was always at 8 am when he started work so he blew it off for awhile and thought maybe he was just on his way to work as well. That is, until he hailed my dad's taxi. It was less than a week before New Years and the man hailed his cab. My dad said he walked slower than a normal person did and had no facial features, as in no scars, blemishes, or discoloration in his face. He was about 5 foot 10 and had a high-ish pitched voice. He also had a briefcase handcuffed to his hand.

He got in the back seat on the drivers side and said "292nd Avenue, floor it." and handed him 500 dollars. My dad said it would have not even been close to a 500 dollar drive and insisted not to take all $500. The man said "You will need it soon, Patrick." as calmly as a human being could talk. My dad said he was flipping his sh*t at how he knew his name and how crazy the situation was. My dad tried to make small talk on the way there but the man just looked straight ahead at the road and never said a word.

He arrived at the road to find it was in the middle of absolutely no where. My dad kept driving until the man whispered "stop." The man said nothing as he slowly got out and started walking into the field. My dad looked at the man to see his briefcase handcuffed to his left hand, and a revolver in his right. My dad peeled out and kept looking to make sure the man never tried to shoot him, but he didn't. The man never stopped walking, looked, or changed his pace. Nobody believed my dad when he told them and tried to forget it.

New Years 2000 came and he never needed the money. The world didn't end, and he had a lot of canned food for nothing. He forgot until this year, when we were going to see a ghost town this summer on our way back from vacation. Google said to take the very same road he took the man on and he told me to stop the car. I did as he asked and pulled over. He told me this story and demanded we drive away and never go anywhere near there again. The man was never seen again by my father and I have no idea of this man's intentions. dhs1976

Tall Humanoids at Echo Lake, NY


Tall Humanoids at Echo Lake, NY

Warrensburg, NY - 2018-07-17 - 21:30: I was at Echo Lake meeting up with some friends drinking and having a good time. I was the first one there. Everything was eerily silent. You could have heard a pin drop. That's when something caught my attention. About 70 feet away is this humanoid creature. It's about 4-5 feet tall, skinny as hell, and naked. It's so white it's almost glowing. It's just staring at me. Like neither of us should be here. I can't move, I can't scream. I just stare. Then I heard some rustling in bushes behind me and I quickly turn and brace for a fight. I see another one of them things moving away from me. Then I turn and see the other one is gone. Now I don't know if that was the same one and they just move super fast or what but it sure spooked the hell out of me. I called my friends and said you best not come anymore and got the hell out of there. - MUFON

Large, aggressive mosquitoes swarm N.C. city after Florence

A North Carolina city dealing with fallout from Hurricane Florence has been swarmed by aggressive mosquitoes nearly three times larger than regular mosquitoes. One resident, Robert Phillips, describes their rise as "a bad science fiction movie."

North Carolina State University entomology professor Michael Reiskind told The Fayetteville Observer that Florence's floodwater has caused eggs for mosquito species such as the Psorophora ciliata to hatch. These mosquitoes, often called "gallinippers," are known for their painful bite and often lay eggs in low-lying damp areas.

The eggs lie dormant in dry weather and hatch as adults following heavy rains. Reiskind said the state has 61 mosquito species, and "when the flood comes, we get many, many billions of them."

He said a silver lining is the mosquitoes aren't transmitting many diseases. Read more at "A bad science fiction movie": Large, aggressive mosquitoes swarm N.C. city after Florence

Soldier and His Dog

Donna called to tell of her ghost sighting:

“I have been a paranormal investigator for over thirty years and today I saw my first apparition as I was going down a side road to come to my home. It was soldier in full uniform and he had a big dog next to him and they were just standing there waving and I stopped to see the dog and I turned around and they were gone. And that is my paranormal investigation site. That was my first apparition I ever saw. It was very exciting. Chills up the spine. It was great.”
