As I was searching for other things, like the Luisiana Whistler, I came across several stories I just had to go into further. Things like what ever happened to Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the engine. How about Ireland's Vanishing Triangle. The Circleville Writer, and the Catman of Greenock. There are some strange things going on around us.

Some kids get a toy, play with it for a while, and move on to the next thing. Others get a toy, and it becomes part of their life. What happens when too much emotion is poured into an inanimate object. Where does all that energy go? There are many stories of dols becoming something other than a toy.

Shortly after the American Civil War, folks began to enjoy the yellow fruit from South America. Bananas became very popular yet hard to find. They had to e grown, harvested, shipped, and purchased, all before they got too ripe to eat. When Costa Rica needed a railroad, the construction was traded for land. Soon bananas could be found in every store. So why did the CIA get involved in the process of growing and shipping fruit? I'll try to answer some dark questions, and hopefully entertain you a bit.

People report encountering staircases in the middle of nowhere. These stairs go, up, or down, but there is never any structure for them to allow access to. Some of these steps are old and falling apart, while others look as if built yesterday. Is this just a hoax or is there something sinister going on in the deep, dark, woods.

Carlos Casteneda wrote many books on subjects such as Indian teachings, using peyote to enhance the mind, transcendental meditation. He told people he was born in Brazil, yet he was from Peru. He told about his time learning from an old Indian named Don Juan, who was very wise in the ways of magic. In his books he talked about being able to turn into a bird and fly. He could walk through walls, and he knew things others were unaware of. Was Casteneda telling the truth or was he just making things up.

There are some people out there who still claim Columbus discovered America. We still celebrate his day with parades. Washington DC is named for him. There is an enormous pile of evidence showing others from Europe and Asia were here first. Let's take a look at some of the people who should be credited with finding our country.

For centuries people have been finding livestock killed in mysterious ways. Sometimes there is little to no damage. Other times parts have been removed with precise incisions. Bodies are found completely drained of blood. There have been humans found as well.

Some people believe the Earth is flat. They say this is the real reason we don't fall off the sides. Any photographic evidence is declared fake. Folks have gone to great lengths and expenses to prove we stand on a disc instead of a globe. Here are some of the ideas you van ponder and decide what you think.

We have some folks living in Laredo that seem to be existing in their own private world. They talk to people the rest of us can't see. They behave in a manner most of us consider crazy. There are way too many Street People considering the size and location.

Where does our mind go, late at night, while we slumber? Many cultures believe dreams come from the gods. Some dreams might be warnings of bad things in our futures. Here is what I could find about how our minds can be entertaining, or confusing.

There aren't many companies that have their own army and navy. The East India Co. was granted the power to seize land, ships, and enslave people. They shipped tons of opium into China to control the public. They invaded parts of India in the name of making money. There never was, and hopefully never will be, a company like it.

Many years ago, I was a paramedic. I had many hours of training in both emergency departments and ambulances before I became a Wilderness Medic. Here are some of the weird. unexpected, things I encountered while trying to save lives without getting killed.

In times of war, people see and do unimaginable things. The rules no longer seem to apply. People have reported seeing and doing things the folks back home consider unbelievable. Here are a few stories from Europe during the conflict.

In the 1500s, European sailors and explorers reported encountering giants, some up to twelve feet tall, in Patagonia, the southern tip of South America. The folks back home thought they were seeing things or outright lying. A giant was captured to take back as evidence, but it broke lose while out at sea. The crew was forced to kill him. The body was mummified using salt. When people saw this unbelievable creature, they decided Patagonia was not a safe place to visit. What amazed people about this huge man, was he had two heads. There is a body on display in Baltimore, many say it's a fake. Was the original creature real, or just a manufactured sideshow attraction?

Some kids have invisible friends that come and play with them. Sometimes these friends are seen by others. Are these being all in the mind, or is there more to it.

I was asked about the Albatwitch, and the Vegetable Man. I'd never heard of either, so I did what I do, I researched. The Albatwitch is a small, hairy creature that eats apples. The Vegetable Man was an alien that attacked a man in 1975. I also looked into the Beast of Bladenboro, the Dark Watchers, and the Hodag. Here are some little-known encounters with the strange.

Some folks are waiting with their breath held tight for the government to tell the truth about UFOs. As long as certain people are running things from behind the scenes, I don't believe this will ever happen.

Why is a chemical, known as a hazardous substance, being put into our water systems as well as many items found at the grocery store. Is there any real health benefit, or is this being done as a means of affecting our brains.

Who is really running our world? Who told them they had the right to tell us what was best for our families? Here is something to keep in mind when weird things go on that make little to no sense.

People have seen some weird things on our planet. Things the scientists say don't exist. Yet, people see them. Here are some things to watch out for, as you go about your day to day existence.

For thousands of years people have seen and wrote about, huge flying creatures that looked and sounded like dragons. Some feared these monsters while others considered them a part of nature. Listen up and see what you think.

Right around 1915, the folks in Hollywood began working with the government to get the United States Citizens, ready to go to war. This endeavor continued during World War II. The military found recruitment improved when people were shown war movies. At some point, the people in Hollywood began disguising truth with fiction. Putting out secret projects as fiction so people would get the two confused. This is a confusing mess we live in today.

How does dowsing, or using a pendulum work? Is there any real benefit in lucky charms? Why do people fear Friday the 13? I'll look into whether there is magic involved or is this some natural phenomena. 42 has more significance than Douglas Adams thought.

For thousands of years people have been seeing creatures in or near the water that look like half human, half fish beings. Some have described them as monsters, that had huge mouths filled with sharp teeth. Others say these creatures were beautiful females. With so many sightings we have to wonder, is there a race living in the oceans that just might see us as a food source.

Does our government or our military have soldiers stationed in outer space? Some say as far back as the 1950s, our president signed a treaty with aliens from some distant star system, allowing experiments on civilians so the military could get their hands on secret technology.
