Mel’s Hole!

“Mel Waters formerly lived nine miles outside Ellensburg, Washington, and claimed that he had found a geographical anomaly—basically, a bottomless pit. Supposedly, Waters determined that the hole went on for more than fifteen miles, which he estimated after spooling out 18 reels of fishing line (tied end on end) into it. Moreover, he told the story of a man “who dropped the remains of his deceased dog’s body down the hole,” only to then see his same dog shortly thereafter.

While there are aspects of Mel’s stories that seem farfetched or fabricated, several other people have claimed to have seen the hole as well; yet surprisingly, not one has been able to pinpoint its exact location. The general area it’s said to lie in is nearby the Yakima Training Center—a military base—making access difficult. Thus, it’s time that we really investigate Mel’s Hole and get to the “bottom” of it.”

Of course I’m totes interested in this because it’s in Washington, so I’d love to go check it out. Or just waste a ton of gas driving up there, but whatevs!


Have you heard of the Paulding Light?

“There are few mysteries as interesting as the The Paulding Light of Michigan. Appearing on popular T.V shows such as “Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files” and “Ripley’s: Believe it or Not”, the origin of the light has been vigorously debated over the last several years. Join us as we look at the origin of this mystery and provide some of the more logical explanations for this phenomenon. With reports dating all the way back to 1960, the Paulding Light has been baffling scientists and raising more questions then answers. While some studies have proposed theories to the origin of the light, none of them have been totally conclusive. The light appears regularly (daily) in a valley outside of Paulding, Michigan, in the Upper Peninsula, near Watersmeet off of US 45.”

Mellified Man


“Mellified man, or human mummy confection, was a legendary medicinal substance created by steeping a human cadaver in honey. The concoction is mentioned only in Chinese sources, most significantly the Bencao Gangmu of the 16th-century Chinese pharmacologist Li Shizhen. Relying on a second-hand account, Li reports a story that some elderly men in Arabia, nearing the end of their lives, would submit themselves to a process of mummification in honey to create a healing confection. This process differed from a simple body donation because of the aspect of self-sacrifice; the mellification process would ideally start before death. The donor would stop eating any food other than honey, going as far as to bathe in the substance. Shortly, his feces (and even his sweat, according to legend) would consist of honey. When this diet finally proved fatal, the donor’s body would be placed in a stone coffin filled with honey. After a century or so, the contents would have turned into a sort of confection reputedly capable of healing broken limbs and other ailments. This confection would then be carefully sold in street markets as a hard to find item with a hefty price.”


Real or not, this video is super-dee-duper spooky.

…A retired couple was having trouble with break-ins in their Yosemite private property and aimed their security camera at the driveway to video visitors. They caught these things on their security camera and called me over to see because they know I am interested in the paranormal. They gave me this digital copy but I can’t figure out what the crap they are! They remind me of the Fresno Stick-like creatures but they seem to transfer weight and there are two here. Is one a baby? What are these!? Nightcrawlers? Stickmen? Something new? What?”


Alien Reptiles are Dominating the World

“Another conspiracy theory that most people would consider crazy is that the world is dominated and ruled by reptilian humanoids. David Icke, a well known conspiracy theorist, claims that Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and many other important members of the world’s leaders including the British Royal Family are not humans. They are 2 m tall reptilians, drink blood, shapeshift, and come from Alpha Draconis; a star system in the Draco constellation. According to David Icke, the 9/11 September attacks was one of their conspiracies to enslave the population of Earth.”



Angel Hair

” Angel Hair is a rare phenomenon that has so far defied explanation. It is made up of silken threads that rain down on to the earth, but reach out to touch it and it will almost certainly vanish before your eyes. It is a world wide phenomenon with the most regular occurrences from North America, New Zealand, Australia, and western Europe. There is no known proof for what causes this substance, or even what it is made up of. Speculations are that it has come from Spiders or another type of silk-spinning insect, and even UFO’s as it has often been associated with UFO sightings. Because of its sensitive nature, it has been difficult to collect, and to analyse as it is subject to contamination from car exhaust fumes, and even human contact, which could skew the chemical results.”

The Grooved (Klerksdorp) Spheres

Over the last few decades, miners in South Africa have been digging up mysterious metal spheres. Origin unknown, these spheres measure approximately an inch or so in diameter, and some are etched with three parallel grooves running around the equator. Two types of spheres have been found: one is composed of a solid bluish metal with flecks of white; the other is hollowed out and filled with a spongy white substance. The kicker is that the rock in which they where found is Precambrian – and dated to 2.8 billion years old! Who made them and for what purpose is unknown.
