>>41301588For some reason basketball players become associated with aliens, and it is not discussed that much.

>>41301588The fact that there was over 300 frogs all like that in one place is unsettling. Could it have been a genetic defect? Was someone cutting off legs and throwing the frogs into the pit? Why would someone do that besides cruelty? I think there are teletext archives that might have a copy of the original report.
weren't a bunch of feet washing up on shore of the pacific northwest? Like just a foot. sometimes it was still in a shoe.

>>41301588Animal & Men covers interesting stuff. Here is a page from it talking about the Horse-Man of Lincolnshire.
Blue Hole disappearances. Sometimes people just go missing while swimming in them. No bloo, no noise, just gone.

>>41305872>Horse-man with the same description in Lincolnshire and LouthThere is an older sighting that matches the description from 1254 in Verona, Italy. Ambroise Pare wrote about it in his book Des Monstres. Pic related is a drawing of it. I also found this website talking about hybrids with humans and horses.https://web.archive.org/web/20240502084039/http://www.macroevolution.net/human-horse-hybrids.html

>>41301588>nahuelitoLove that guy.
>>41301588>From 1994>Found near Beijing>>41311006>Posted on 8/26/2007>"On August 22, local villagers in Xingtang County, Hebei Province found large numbers of deformed, three-legged frogs in old mining pits where pools of water had formed during the rainy season.">"These deformed frogs were just 2 centimeters long (less than an inch) and looked as if they had just transformed from tadpoles. Other than missing a leg, the frogs looked the same as normal ones. The mine owner said he had never noticed this kind of frog before.">"The cause for the deformation is not known"What the hell... It's weird that this has happened twice in China.
>>41311224It was probably some chemical like thalidomide… or perhaps inbreeding
>>41311259If caused by chemicals or inbreeding they should also have other deformities than just a missing leg. The lack of variety is what makes it so weird. Pesticides have been suspected of causing deformities in frogs in the United States, but there has never been a pit with just three legged frogs like in China.https://www.science.org/content/article/pesticide-cocktail-amplifies-frog-deformities
>>41311461Similar incident in northeast US: https://www.lakechamplaincommittee.org/learn/lake-look/deformedfrogs/
>>41311493>The evidence against the trematodes in Lake Champlain is weaker than in other places. The Vermont Agency of Natural Resources reports that according to a California study between 30 and 50% of malformations caused by trematodes result in extra limbs. However, of 7,000 deformed leopard frogs examined locally, only one had an extra limb; most of the rest were missing part or all of their limbs. Additionally, the particular trematode implicated in other areas was not found at many of the local sites where frog deformities were documented. No one has a good explanation for the discrepancy. >It is not clear whether the attention that deformed frogs received in the late 1990s was due to an increase in deformations or an increase in public attention leading to more reporting of deformities. Thus it is difficult to evaluate whether there has been any actual change in the incidence of deformities over time.>The case file for the three-legged frog on Lake Champlain remains open. The leading suspect, the trematode has an alibi, and no direct links have been discovered between the accomplice, humans, and the particular situation here. The case has resulted in a wealth of intriguing research and exposed hidden ecological connections, but assessing cause and effect in the natural world is rarely straight forward.Interesting
>>41301588Pic related. Here is an article and interview with the witness. It is definitely one of the weirdest bigfoot encounters.https://web.archive.org/web/20240224163822/https://www.phantomsandmonsters.com/2022/07/a-flying-bigfoot-over-walla-walla.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2Ut0-doUkQ
shit used to fall from the sky a lot>n 1876, residents of Olympia Springs, Kentucky, were shocked when chunks of raw meat rained down from the sky. Scientists theorized it could have been vulture vomit, but no definitive answer has ever been found. The pieces, described as resembling beef or lamb, were even sampled by curious locals. >For centuries, reports have surfaced of strange, translucent jelly-like blobs falling from the sky. These odd substances—sometimes called “star jelly” or “astral slime”—disappear quickly and often defy scientific analysis. >Throughout history, blood-red rain has been reported, staining buildings, fields, and rivers. In 2001, Kerala, India, experienced weeks of crimson rainfall,
im still in the aliens at the miami mall rabbit hole. unfortunately a boatload of ai vids flooded the "aliens at malls" tag. its just its own horror genre now........ frustrating
>>41312170Are you looking through Tiktok? Every subject is flooded with AI garbage. I am noticing it on Youtube. The dead internet theory is real.
>>41301588Fluorescent Freddie is a obscure encounter. Pic related is from Indianapolis News on March 15, 1965.
>>41310983Spooky
>>41301588I'm starting to prefer paranormal stories and conspiracies that are just so outrageously out there... the most bizarre ones possible. so strange and weirdly specific in their details, they might well be true.
>>41301588Charles Fort's the OG guy for this stuff.Then Frank Edwards John KeelCB Colby but he seems to've made a lot of shit up.The Soucebook Project has tons of weird phenomena published by category.

>>41318789I was today years old when I learned that baby dragon flies eat frog legs.

>>41312170Pretty sure that was just rowdy blacks
today, I learned about a man named Stanley Zangretti from chicago with ties to the mafia that opened a casino and resort in lugert oklahoma called the red lobster in the early 1960s, that was found riddled with bullets in the lake a few weeks after telling some friends how Lee Harvey Oswald was going to be killed by Jack Ruby, the day before it happened. however, there is no info except a few Facebook posts and a page on Find A Grave. any attempts to find info on the resort and casino leads to the fast food chain. sounds like memory-holing to me
>>41312170this one pisses me off too. Fireworks? Brawls? Fuck offff — nothing has ever answered for the magnitude of police response. I believe that one wigga who poorly drew what he saw (group of people fucking with something that opened a portal)
The Finders. The fuck were they really up to.

>>41321036>Red Lobster restaurant replacing all search hitsThis is done on purpose to replace the original references. I read a lot of 18th and 19th century books I notice some commonly referenced things or citations. But the citations are impossible to find and the references are replaced by new unassociated things using the phrase. Good example is Westphalian state. Every founder I read has referenced it. Turns out it’s a hugely important event / treaty that gives a people sovereignty over its borders and territory. Absolutely consequential piece of history. Google search Westphalia by itself and you get gas companies, banks, businesses.
>>41323713>This is done on purpose to replace the original references.Agreed. Searching for LSS gives you Lutheran Social Services and other modern companies that have nothing to do with the original new age summer camps.
>>41321036>>41323713>>41324035Reminds me of how Dubai chocolate used to refer to the weird sex shit elites did in Dubai. Now all you get is the chocolate brand when you try to find more info about it.
>>41316049You're a step or two behind. Liars fabricate their stories with details like those specifically included, because, as suckers will constantly let you know: "It's just soooo bizarre, who could possibly make up a detail like that??"Of course, the answer is someone who wants someone else to think "who could make up a detail like that??"
>>41324450I am reminded of this pasta I saved years ago:Search for "hidden city" on Google. You will find many results for a hidden picture game. Search for "secret city". You will find either a TV show or references to airline fraud.Funny, isn't it? It's almost as if these terms are "coincidentally" difficult to track down in this era of information.There are cities out there called "secret" and "hidden", massive population centers that don't show up on maps. They evade detection by private satellite and aerial photography. Perhaps the governments of the world know where they are. Perhaps they don't.Every once in a great while, an outsider will find one. Even more rarely, a resident is able to escape.If you are ever tempted to go looking for one, don't. You just might find it. And no matter how bad you think your life is now, you have no idea how blessed you are.
>>41323713Lol weird thing to lie about - this is the very first Google result
>>41324666Okay Satan. >srsly tho nice find
>>41318604this and the old fortean times magazines have lots of weird shit that you never hear about again.
