Lool at all the characters either looking just off to the left or right of screen very intensely, even the Gargoyle. Except good old Buddy, why he's such a Buddy he'll look directly at you! Really hoping the whole thing was pretty much just a bunch one shots of the characters looking intense and occasionally saying something very dramatic to just off screen.

If anyone wants to get a head start of the monster vigil there's a bunch of 24 hr livestreams from around Loch Ness every day: https://www.visitinvernesslochness.com/live-stream https://www.youtube.com/@NessieOnTheNet/streams Etc etc They never seem to provide any decent evidence, though

Thanks to Uri Geller and Whitley Strieber, we have our first confirmed 100% real photograph of an alien hanging out in the basement of a house in Mexico. https://twitter.com/theurigeller/status/1694279078050672834

I hadn't heard anything about Uri Gellar for a while, until this came up a week or so back in a different thread.  I knew he was always in some fringe area thanks to the spoonbending, but I had no idea he'd progressed into "old person gullibly sharing obviously debunked photos" territory.

Never forget that Uri Geller is on record as saying that a UFO gave him all his powers. He says as a toddler an orb appeared to him and shot him in the head with a laser, after which he was psychic.

There was a profile of Uri Geller in the NY Times recently that was a decent. Apparently these days he'll just personally show you around his junk hoard/museum in Israel if you book in advance. https://archive.is/tpB7E (non paywalled version)

LOL, plugging that photo into an image search engine brings hundreds and hundreds of results going back over a decade ...  ..... and the earliest one listed is an old X-Files fanpage  Geller has responded to the accusations with a devastating riposte quote:He went on to say that if the photo is actually from X-Files then the producers have probably "received undercover input from real government agencies" about how aliens look.

When someone found the exact model of garbage can lid that Billy Meier built one of his model UFOs out of, Billy said that the aliens had tried to telepathically send their beamship schematics to us, but chose the Germans right before WWII as their recipients and when the nazis were able to build a half-flyable UFO the horrified Pleiadians cancelled sending the full schematics. postwar, unrelated designers found the incomplete plans and made trash can lids out of them  http://www.billymeierufocase.com/wcufodeconstruction.html

I forget if it was in this thread or another that I recommended How To with John Wilson's recent episode on the Green Bank radio quiet zone and the people who live there, but I thought people here would be interested that the latest episode from yesterday not only featured people who believe in Titanic conspiracies, but also out of nowhere a short (but both very funny and very earnest) interview with Travis Walton.

There's a fun In Research Of episode out today about one of my favorite overblown mysteries, the Roanoke Colony. One aspect I'd forgotten a lot about that they go into detail on is the Dare Stones, the whole set of inscribed rocks allegedly providing messages from one of the lost colonists. All of those are known hoaxes except for the first one to show up, which ~technically~ hasn't been disproven. But it's on even shakier ground than I remembered. It's kind of funny how the original TV episode just quickly shows its front side and short inscription, but leaves out the fact that there's a whole big paragraph etched onto its back that feels suspiciously wordy for being written by someone at the time (and in language described as the equivalent of Dick Van Dyke's Cockney accent in Mary Poppins  ). And that the stone was actually found in the 1930s, by a person who mysteriously disappeared afterwards, at a time where the colony had just come back to national attention following a big theater production around it. Suddenly it starts feeling even more like any number of other cases where evidence of something mysterious or paranormal just conveniently happens to show up exactly as there's a big public interest in it. Just funny stuff. I always enjoy how built up the Roanoke "mystery" is around the actual unknown facts surrounding it, which are basically just a very prosaic event that we don't know some exact details for. I feel like I find something new making the mystery side of it feel less mysterious every time I revisit it.

I've sometimes said that a particular event is a mystery but not mysterious. Roanoke? The disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa? The death of Elisa Lam? The Flannan Isle lighthouse keepers? Mysteries - we don't know exactly what happened, but plausible explanations are possible that are probably correct. There's far fewer cases that are really mysterious, where you struggle to make any sense or explanation. To pick an example, the Fausto disappearance.

I didn’t know either. It’s a Spanish fishing boat https://www.reddit.com/r/UnresolvedMysteries/comments/8tbc62/the_mystery_of_fishing_boat_fausto/ Nothing supernatural, probably a mundane solution but we’ll never know.
