Exploring the Paranormal - where the unusual is the normal

 
Join me while I explore the paranormal from the world of ghosts to parallel dimensions. A journey you will not want to take on your own.

Remember about 20 years ago when The National Enquirer and those other scandal newspapers use to have stories like frogs and fish falling from the sky? So were those stories true or just made up freaks of nature stories to sell those papers. I went searching for some facts and here is what I found.

Most websites concerning the phenomenon of frog and fish rain simply state that they are the result of water spouts going over water then dropping their unfortunate cargo over the first landfall.That theory does not take into account the fact that most reported animal rain falls are typically just one species and not a variety of the creatures found in that water. Not only does that theory lack any witnesses to the event but they disregard the incidents of raining creatures out of clear windless skies. So onward for more info.


What I did find was an interesting video on YouTube that about raining frogs. Here are the link to it


Really Long Link - shows the aftermath of a frog rainfall, not pretty

In my search I am still puzzled to the bizarre events of raining creatures. Some of the incidents I found were without any wet rainfall at all just the poor creatures falling form the sky. Some of those events occurred long before the invention of aircraft so they were not push out of an airplane.

The mystery continues and yes those occurrences of raining creatures still happen till this day. They happen all over the world but are rarely reported my main stream media.

So you have stumbled on an article or subject that you really enjoyed reading while surfing. After reading it or looking at the photos, did it ever occur to you that you could pay the creator of that article or webpage by just clicking on an ad on their page? Probably not, you just thought that was nice and surfed on.

Many of us web content creators rely on getting paid from the content we create. Sometimes it is just by putting ads or links in our content in vague hope that someone, somewhere, will check out the link or click on an ad.

All I ask of you is that if you like something you have just read, complement the author by clicking on an ad on their website before surfing away. Of course you have no way of knowing if the author will get any money from that click, but at least you tried.

Fake Dragons and other hoaxes

March 29th 2013 04:00


I was reading a post here on Orble about a supposed Chinese dragon skeleton that was on display in China........so I went digging for more info. First here is the photo of the "dragon"

fake dragon


I found out that the photo was taken in 1934 around about the same time that a team of archaeologists from Sweden were investigating a massive grave site of "dragon" bones in China. Those bones were later found out to be dinosaur fossils over 100,000 years old. Several locals were harvesting the "dragon" bones for herbal medicines until a stop was put to that practice. It was estimated that several hundred species of fossil remains were lost before the truth was known about the bones. None of them were dragons as we know them from mythology.

The dragon in the photo above is only known on propaganda websites located in China. It also looks fake. Take for example the "horns" - why are they coming out of the skulls' eye sockets? The horns also look like modern day elk horn material, not fossilized like the rest of the skeleton.

In my search I found some really neat websites on fake archaeology. I have them listed below. I am sure you will get a kick out of them.

Do EMF detector apps really work?

February 14th 2013 03:48


Every ghost investigation TV show uses a variety of electronic devices. I was use to seeing the run of the mill assortment until a few nights ago. I was watching SyFy's Ghost Hunters and noticed they had an iPad with an EMF app on it. They were using it to show the audience the meter readings. I thought it was rather odd to use a computer app as a real detector and did a bit of investigation on my own

The ghosts of Gettysburg

November 27th 2012 03:55


Gettysburg is the site of America's largest battlefield. In the course of 3 days during the Civil War a total of 50,000 people died on the Gettysburg battle field. The area is about 20 square miles of fields and hills. It should not surprise anyone that is also claimed to be the most haunted area in the USA, or maybe in the world. How about some evidence? Below is what I found

Legendary creatures

black dragon


Myth has provided us with many fictional creatures. There are some that are based on true facts. Take for example the legendary dragon of the dark and middle ages. Since people of that time were unaware of what a fossil was, imagine what they thought when dinosaur bones were found as an intact skeleton. They did not know that the creature whose bones lay before them had died a long, long time ago. No they probably thought that the bones were from a recent death
