Something mysterious appears to be prowling throughout the United Kingdom. While reports of unidentified large cats are nothing new to the British Isles, sightings have been increasing lately. Last summer, several eyewitnesses reported seeing large mystery cats throughout the English countryside around the same time multiple shepherds reported finding members of their flocks horribly mutilated […]

There’s cave drawings – stick-figure animals and hand stencils – and then there’s cave art, like the intricate, accurate and sometimes three-dimensional creatures painted by Ice Age artists 30,000 years ago in places like Chauvet Cave in southern France. How did some cave men (and most likely cave women) become such fine artists without the […]

Thanks to advances in ROVs, or remotely operated underwater vehicles, many of the mysteries of the deep are now beginning to reveal themselves to scientists and amateur mystery hunters alike. Late last year, an underwater castle was discovered under the waters of Lake Van, Turkey, providing archaeologists with a completely unknown structure to study. Just […]

There has been a lot of talk in recent times of the possibility of other realities and dimensions existing beside our own, all around us, yet mostly unobserved and lying beyond our ability to perceive them. In these alternate realities there are theorized to be other versions of ourselves or the world we think know […]

Have you ever watched a fight on television or in real life and reflexively cringed as if you were feeling the punches yourself? That could be a sign of empathy. Have you ever watched someone being tickled and laughed uncontrollably as if you were being tickled yourself? That’s called being really creepy. Or maybe not. […]

Out of all the mysteries of the oceans, none is perhaps as disgusting as the globster. Throughout history, unidentifiable reeking masses of sea animal flesh have been discovered along seashores around the world, grossing out beachgoers and generally stinking up the joint. While these blobs of rotting meat are often cited as proof of unknown […]

When it comes to the matter of mysterious creatures and unknown animals, one of the most famous of all is Nessie – the monstrous denizen of Scotland’s huge Loch Ness. For centuries stories have surfaced of a creature – or of a colony of creatures – lurking deep in the waters of the ancient loch, […]

Chalk it up to the conspiracy theorist in me, but sometimes I think NASA removed Pluto’s distinction as a planet so they wouldn’t have to say they’ve found proof of “Planet X.” It sounds less threatening to say “Planet Nine,” especially when there’s recent news of more evidence for a large, mysterious planet at the far edge […]

Every good spy thriller has a final exit strategy that often involves a cyanide capsule and an oath of loyalty. That works (usually) for humans, but what about spy dolphins? The government of Ukraine has announced that some of its specially-trained military dolphins were captured by Russian forces and, rather than be forced or retrained […]

We tend to think the days of discovery here on earth are over. We’ve mapped the continents and put heroic explorers out of business. The frontier is closed. We tend to think that, but it’s not necessarily true. Most of our planet Earth is ocean and the ocean is deep and strange and largely unexplored. […]
