Fireball Dreams: Impending Disaster in Our Subconscious?

I was in a car. As I sat there in park I was staring at the night sky. To may amazement, a brilliant fireball appeared above and it slowly streaked across the stars. I thought to myself that I was so lucky to witness such a thing. The fireball moved slowly, and didn’t disappear as [...]

An Ominous Warning: Beware!!

When taking photographs, I am always on the lookout for something that pulls a mundane scene into another realm.  My eye is trained to look for things that will create a visceral reaction by the viewer.  These types of shots are hard to find.  They’re no good if they are staged.  You have to happen [...]

Muppet Labs Experiment 5T832: Ghost Hunt

The Mother’s Ghost: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I wanted to do something special on Extraordinary Intelligence for Mother’s Day.  I tried to think of ways to celebrate moms, grandmas, aunties, etc… but no one can do it like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow did with The Mother’s Ghost. This poem is part of a larger Longfellow compilation called Tales of a Wayside Inn.  The [...]

Bizarre “Stick Creatures” Caught on Camera

When I happened upon this footage, it instantly startled me.  I’ve seen tons of convincing footage of alien beings, ghosts, etc… that are indeed eerie, but for some reason this clip had me spooked.  Perhaps it is because the beings pictured are unlike any previously speculated entity… I have no idea.  But for your consideration, [...]

Beware the Black Eyed Kids

Researching the strange, bizarre, spooky, and sometimes frightening reports of paranormal activity is a daily job for me.  Although I love a good scare (Fear of the Supernatural: The thrill of it all), it takes more these days.

Fallen: A Meteor’s First and Last Flight

Fallen is an animated short by Sascha Geddert.

This is such a [...]
