It’s a fact that more than a few cases of strange creatures can be solved. And, that’s what I’m going to do today. We’ll start with what is known as the “Monster of Glamis.” Situated just west of Forfar, Scotland, Glamis Castle is referred to by Shakespeare in Macbeth; Macbeth of its title having killed...

Over the decades and centuries, some very strange and sinister stories have come out of the U.K., all revolving around nothing less than tribes of cannibals hiding out in the wilds of the country and eating people. In the U.K.?! Surely not? Well, it all very much depends on the extent to which you buy... Read more »

My two previous articles were on (a) the connection between strange creatures and bridges, and (b) the link between monsters and railroads. With that said, I thought I would turn this into a “trilogy” of sorts. The final article will focus on the admittedly weird link between monsters and castles. With that said, let’s get...

In the latter part of 2002 and into the early months of 2003, the U.K. was inundated with reports of Bigfoot-type beasts. From the southernmost parts of England to practically the tip of Scotland, people claimed encounters with large, hair covered, man-beasts – many of a marauding and violent kind. One of those who was... Read more »

Bigfoot, Nessie, Alien Big Cats, and Dog-Men: this week I have suggested all of them should be removed from the Cryptozoology category and placed in the domains of the paranormal and the supernatural. There’s one more category that I think should also be placed into the world of the really weird. It’s the mysterious, flying... Read more »

On this special episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, produced in partnership with LOD, we explore how trust levels in-house have changed since the onset of COVID-19 and what this means for the legal

My previous article was on the subject of a strange synchronicity that occurred a few days ago in a Dallas, Texas-based book-store and that revolved around Puerto Rico and the Chupacabra – a story that got weirder and weirder. Today, I’m going to show you a second, very strange story of the synchronistic type. And... Read more »

One final thing for the controversy surrounding the thought-form/Tulpa issue: I thought that today I would expand on the matter of the “British Bigfoot” connection to all of this. As I mentioned in my previous article, there is a theory that the “creature” is a thought-form designed to guard ancient sites – and that has done so for millennia. Some might dismiss such things as nonsense, but the fact is that sightings of Bigfoot-type creatures in the U.K., and where ancient sites can be...

In my previous article I wrote about the possibility that at least some sightings of “monsters” may have been caused by normal animals exposed to dangerous pollution. I quoted Jon Downes – the Director of the U.K.-based Center for Fortean Zoology – who said of all this in relation to sightings of giant eels: “One theory suggests that these rare, naturally occurring, mutations may now be on the increase due to pollution. PCBs [polychlorinated biphenyls] have long been implicated in cau...
