proven fake - photoshop. Here's the original

Not fake, this is a legit photo (I believe), I read a book before and there were hundreds of fisherman who had encountered Megalodon up to the early 1960's. I don't believe they are all making it up, its probably true. There is so much in the ocean that we still don't even know.

if you want to know what may be the most compelling photo of megaldon, it's this one -

Here's some info on the race of hobbits confirmed to exist on an isolated Indonesian island:

From Wiki:

The remains of an individual that would have stood about 3.5 feet (1.1 m) in height were discovered in 2003 at Liang Bua on the island of Flores in Indonesia. Partial skeletons of nine individuals have been recovered, including one complete skull, referred to as "LB1".[2][3] These remains have been the subject of intense research to determine whether they represent a species distinct from modern humans. This hominin had originally been considered to be remarkable for its survival until relatively recent times, only 12,000 years ago.[4] However, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work has pushed the dating of the most recent evidence of their existence back to 50,000 years ago.[5][6][7] Their skeletal material is now dated to from 100,000 to 60,000 years ago; stone tools recovered alongside the skeletal remains were from archaeological horizons ranging from 190,000 to 50,000 years ago.[8]

Some scholars suggest that the historical H. floresiensis may be connected by folk memory to ebu gogo myths prevalent on the isle of Flores.[12]

what's the story behind this one?

One time for about a week I kept getting headaches after I jerked off. I kept doing it though. Eventually it went away. That was weird.

Fact or Fiction

http://karlshuker.blogspot.jp/2013/09/giant-anacondas-and-other-super-sized.html?m=1

In 1959, Belgian helicopter pilot Colonel Reme Van Lierde spotted a long anaconda/python in Congo. The World War II helicopter pilot claimed to have made at least four passes overhead. Van Lierde with his naked eye measured the anaconda/python's length to be 15.5 meters or 50 feet. Sounded like an embellished folktale but one I wanted to share.

this one is incredible - an absolute giant python ! maybe even a titanoboa

"Shortly after the incident in South Africa in which a fishing boat carrying four people was viciously attacked, overturned and the bodies never found."

I googled the date and turns out that one is fake as well. From from a fake documentary produced by the Discovery Channel for Shark Week. God damn standards have fallen on television.

Absolutely love shot like this. Even though, the natural response is to be sceptical, the thought of the paranormal and unexplained is incredibly interesting.

We will always try to explain away things we don't understand, by explaining them in terms of what we know. Sometimes, however, it appears we don't know everything, and some things will go without an accurate explanation.

I have one that happened to me..probably wont freak anybody out as much as it did me.

I'm a painter and decorator and I was painting the interior of a house in a little village about 2 or so miles away from me. Instead of driving I could walk cross country from where my flat was at the time through the country park and on horse tracks but by the time the job was coming to an end it was early winter so was getting dark quick so I had a torch in case I got caught out.

Obviously I did get caught out, it was dark and raining but I had fairly decent wet weather gear on and my crappy torch. I started the walk up the main road, poorly lit but ok then I entered the horse tracks..muddy and wet but still ok. Then I entered this kind of narrow track that runs about 100m and it hawthorne and stinging nettles either side and about 5ft wide and at this point my torch starts playing up flicking on and off (oh, I better point out I'm listening to my ipod nano so am not aware of any noise and am in my own little world listening to a hip hop mix) I'm kind of walking a few feet..torch blacks out..I whack it about and it would come on again...about the 5th time it blacks out and I can't see shit and am banging the torch and chuckling to myself at how stupid I am stumbling about in the mud.....

torch comes on again, kind of vertical and there's an old bearded bloke standing directly in front of me...I'm in shock and I take my earphones out and he says "turn off the light and use your night eyes" and points at his eyes which look jet black to me and then steps to my left out of the torch light. I instantly shine my torch in the direction he went...he's not there and all I can see is an impenetrable wall of undergrowth and thorns....

I shit myself and run, trip, slide and probably whimper as I get home as quick as I can...


I have been along that track in daylight many times and still dont see how he could have vanished like that.



100% on topic

What do you chaps make of the haunted room 209 in the hotel in Illinois?

I imagine ghostly whisperings of "Where you at, Georges?" and "Stockton, motherfucker, Stockton" from Room 209

My kid spends a ton of time on youtube...and people will sometimes ask him what his favorite shark is and he'll say, "megalodon." and they'll be like what are you talking about? First time I heard him say that I had no idea what a megalodon was. Pretty cool stuff though.

Though that picture could be just two sharks at the right distance.

I dunno. I see it the opposite way around. We never stop believing in fairy stories no matter how many times they turn out to be fake or mistakes.

Literally none of none of the "mysteries" in this thread are cause for a rethink of current knowledge.

Everything I have read about Black eyed folk, well they usually bring on a lot of fear.

Were you scared ?

Did you ever waltz through that area again at night ?

I am a big balled, bad ass mofo, with no equal. That said.....I will never watch another episode of "a haunting". saw one about this family home in Arkansas ......I had to sleep with the lights on for the next fifteen years

 

[NHB7]

Most for those are known fakes, but still a ton of fun. Thanks for sharing TS.
