For discussion of everything rum and uncanny, from cryptozoology (mysterious or out-of-place animals), UFOs, high strangeness, etc. Following in the footsteps of Charles Fort and all those inspired by him, like the field of anomalistics.

He recalled that they were "visibly shaken" by the approach and their behaviour changed with them often not turning up for work and one began drinking heavily.
