These are weird

and, I've tried everywhere to find the footage of the next one by itself but cant.

so you'll have to skip forward to 31.36 on if you want to see it.

I've never forgotten it since I saw it on telly a few years ago, I think because it's also reflected in the mirror it makes it extra eerie and believeable.

The tape has since been the subject of a lawsuit in hollywood.

I like religious mysteries like the arc of the convenant and the holy grail

grail

Also that creepy murder case Zodiac killer, which that made afilm about which is strange as its unsolved, but then they made so many documentaries on JFK.

What happened to Harold Holt? Was it the Chinese??

My mum thinks that Lindy Chamberlain killed her baby. Sanatarium had a lot of 7th Day adventists share holders back in the day. Lindy was a SDA. Therefore we were never allowed sanatarium products!!

The whole link is a TV programme "best ghosts caught on film" or something like that.

But the segment that I'm talking about is a film of a black, billowy, smokey mass emanating from the corner of a room.

as the guy filming turns the camera around to leave you can see it reflected in a mirror, so wasnt done post-processing.

I'd say it could have been faked or staged, but I don't see how. Plus it's eerie!!

I'm going to show it to the kids on halloween Grin

Harold Holt

twirlymum · 19/10/2010 15:51

The Knights Templar fascinate me too.

hocuspontas · 19/10/2010 16:22

I think my all time favourite is the grassy knoll but when I was attempting to discover my family history the story of the Edwards' millions had me hooked. Briefly a couple of hundred years ago a man named Edwards rented out some prime real estate in New York City for 99 years and never got it back. It's now worth over 500 billion pounds and apparently people called Edwards pay lots of money to have their family tree traced in the hope of a share of this if it is ever proven to be true!

Glenn Miller

fudgecat · 19/10/2010 16:34

Humpty Dumpty.

Did he fall or was he pushed?

twirlymum · 19/10/2010 17:03

Who is the winner of £113million on the Euromillions????

PortBlacksandsDoppelganger · 19/10/2010 17:07

Ooh good one twirly...

LetThereBeRock · 19/10/2010 17:10

Hasn't the Chamberlain case been reopened? I'm sure that I read that the other week on the BBC text pages.

PortBlacksandsDoppelganger · 19/10/2010 17:12

Yes LTBR they want cause of death to be 'by Dingo' officially rather than some wishy washy explanation. I suppose they want closure and total exoneration.

twirlymum · 19/10/2010 17:19

PortBlack, my MIL came back from a two week holiday last week, we were talking about it, and she said 'oh, I haven't checked mine yet'.
I swear my heart rate doubled.
Unfortunately, it wasn't her.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 19/10/2010 18:16

A few years back when I lived in Australia some old guy came forward and said that he and two mates had found the babies body and buried it somewhere in Melbourne.
He came forward because one of the other guys had died and he didn't want to die with the secret of her where abouts going unknown.
The police dug up a couple of back yards, but I guess they never found anything. Don't know what happened to the old man.

NoMoreChocBiscuits · 19/10/2010 18:18

I obviously meant the Chamberlain baby!

madugherowngrave · 19/10/2010 19:14

Weird NMCB! Is there a link to read about it?

I lived in Australia for a couple of years and visited Ayers Rock. The tour guide we had there was convinced she did it. I can't remember his reasons for it now and he was a bit of a tosser, but he was utterly convinced of it.

scurryfunge · 19/10/2010 20:23

I clicked on the Black Forest Orbs link thinking it was something Nigella would do [hgrin]

mrstimlovejoy · 19/10/2010 20:33
