I don't really like the idea of being preyed upon by anything but being eaten by a giant stork seems especially horrible. It's a creepy animal. Saw one at a zoo once, it was trying to peck through the steel fence to get to us. Horrible animals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) Not sure if this is really the place for this, but it certainly is somewhat disturbing http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/4264282.stm Basically, a guy with a history of mental illness decided to commit suicide by padlocking himself to a tree in a forest in the middle of nowhere. It's probable he changed his mind at some point but couldn't reach the key or get out the handcuffs.

D.A.F.C Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Wasn't that one proven to just be light from a lighthouse?Not proven but they reckoned it was possible. Still I found it interesting due to the people reporting it. They were trained observers and also the nature of the base with nuclear missiles meant it could have been considered an attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofarl Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 I think the rendlesham one is not really anything other than a delusion. If you listen to the audio tape you can sense a bit of reinforcement. They knew strange lights had appeared the night before, here they were again. Every snapped branch in the woods or strange mark fed into their beliefs that this was something strange. I like the Robert Taylor incident in Dechmont, West Lothian. Boy claims that aliens tried to kidnap him and wrecked his clothes. I reckon he was pished and stumbled into a barb wire fence and knew his mrs would kill him. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Taylor_incident 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Drove home earlier, parked up outside and when I got out of the car there was a Sony phone (with cracked screen) sitting on the roof. Had it car-surfed all that way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really like the idea of being preyed upon by anything but being eaten by a giant stork seems especially horrible. It's a creepy animal. This species of human and stork was endemic to Flores, an Indonesian island. The stork would have been twice the height of the homo floresiensis. A nicer sounding thing endemic to the island was a dwarf stegodon which was basically an elephant that stood at no more than a metre and a half. All the remains of these species were found in one cave in the north of the island. Bizarre cave. Flores is also has an endemic rat species which can be around 2 metres long including tail and 8 times the weight of a common black rat, this species currently exist and give me the fear. The Catman of Greenock would love Flores. Edited June 21, 2019 by ShaggysBeard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's still there but Flores had a museum, which I visited in the early '90s. It had a stuffed rat, which was about the size of my first car and was apparently, legit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens when species are endemic to an island, often the large species get smaller and smaller species get larger. It's dependent on their natural predators in the area they are in. Creepy phenomena when you start getting 4ft long rats and a 5ft tall swan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
