Here's some interesting and bizarre "incidents" that are quite hard to explain:

I am intrigued by the Dyatlov Pass incident...weird.

I've read the first and last ones before. The last one seems unlikely to me personally - I think it's likely they just misidentified an animal they were unfamiliar with. The Dyatlov Pass one is very odd though, anyone got an opinion on what actually happened there?

That Kelly-Hopkinsville incident made me laugh be cause no offense but one of those guys was named Billy Ray
That Dyatlov Pass incident is very wierd though, I'd like to hear more about that.

The Dyatlov Pass story is very creepy, but from what is known it sounds like some sort of military activity. I saw an interesting documentary on loose nuclear materials that chronicled the story of a Russian lumberjack crew that made camp one night out in the boonies and found some nice warm canisters to curl up next to. The next day they were all in the hospital with severe radiation sickness and burns, because the canisters were strontium-90 RTGs used to power Soviet-era radio nav aids for military aircraft.

Turns out that lots of these things were made and placed in remote locations in case of a war, and were lost track of...

I read a different version of what happened there: the guys got startled by an avalanche of a small scale. Maybe it produced a sound loud enough to scare anybody. After that, they just got lost in the dark.

How would somebody lose their tongue though?

The Mothman always scared me silly. I am considering getting a mothman tattoo on my back of my leg. Are there any new accounts of mothman sightings?

I thought the Moth was the Tick's sidekick...

I was at school one day, and the tissue box on the desk just slid across the desk and fell off. No window was open, no one was sitting anywhere near it. I am not kidding it was quiet odd, i later had to get the tissue box to use it.
