possum hopes the abominable snowman don't get him... Abominable News: Purported Yeti Evidence Came from Bears, Dog November 28, 2017 - For fans of the yeti, newly published genetic research on purported specimens of the legendary apelike beast said to dwell in the Himalayan region may be too much to bear — literally.
The entire realm of aliens hasn't been debunked and that's very fascinating. Many individual cases have been explained but there are many out there that simply cannot be.
You have your concepts mixed up. The claim of a left-over hominid thought to be extinct isn't a paranormal claim. Nor are claims like those around the Loch Ness Monster and other lake monsters. If they were true, they would be very normal, just unexpected. People do sometimes allude to mystical qualities but in the end we are talking about animals. The same is true for claims of ET. A visitation would be extraordinary and fantastic, but surely a matter of technology, not anything paranormal. One of the most striking "paranormal" claims I've run across are alleged psychic visions that help solve crimes. You can find many accounts where the police will swear that a physic led them to the victim or suspect, or both. In one case there was a missing body of a child, IIRC. The local sheriff wanted to get resolution for the parents but couldn't make any progress for months. Someone finally suggested contacting a "psychic" who had assisted the police before. So he did. And according to the local newspaper report and the sheriff, the psychic finally was led to a small lake. She walked into the water, and when about waist deep actually kicked the body on the bottom of the lake as she walked. You can find many documented accounts like this that are seemingly indisputable and very impressive.
I don't know what it is, but sht happens! My ex and I had a strange experience; actually quite a few and the entire time we lived there, which was about two years. No doubt about it. Things happened that I can't explain.
People who claim to see things out of time: There was a series done by the iconic science fiction author, and conceptual inventor of the communications satellite btw, Arthur C. Clarke - best known for the book and movie, 2001. [PS. See Geostationary Orbit - The Clarke Belt] In one episode he addresses claims where apparently highly respectable people report the most bizarre occurrences, where they seemingly saw something from another time. In one case, two middle-age women in England see a plane crash along the highway. They called the police who responded and found nothing. The women swore to what they claimed and provided a significant amount of detail; so much that the police didn't know what to think! In the end, what the two women described seeing was consistent with events from WWII. In another case, a retired Humanities Professor is out for a hike on a local trail through a National Forest. He eventually came to a house in the Forest, where a woman was sweeping the porch. They said hello and began to talk. She soon invited him to sit and have some lemonade, which he did. A little later, he left. He said everything about the woman and the house seemed to he about 100 years out of date. And he later learned that the house doesn't exist. There is no private home in the National Forest. He went back to find it, and couldn't. Clarke had two really good series about strange claims: Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World, [I thought I was linking the entire series, but just do a search and it pops right up with all episodes] and Arthur C Clarke's World of Strange Powers
I like ghost stories and stories of children remembering past lives. (The kid in the thumbnail is unrelated.)
The story of the current Dalai Lama is pretty interesting. Read more: http://www.notablebiographies.com/Co-Da/Dalai-Lama.html#ixzz58BafY2Al
I've had two experiences of my own... As a child, I apparently was an expert on old Cadillacs and could identify them from a long way off. That part I don't remember and am only reporting what my parents told me. Later, watching a documentary about the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, I snorted and said out loud, "The temple was clear on the other side of town, that's a wall from the granary." I have no idea why I would blurt that out. I've never been to Jerusalem or Israel. I have no idea where in Jerusalem the Wailing Wall is.
I tried past lives regression once. A guy was writing a book and offering to do it for free if he could use the information for his book. It was pretty strange. I definitely saw things that seemed like memories. Some things seemed very real, with key details that stood out. For example, there was one thing that I seemed to remember that was very upsetting, apparently 2000 years later! I didn't come away with any beliefs one way or the other. It was interesting enough to capture my attention but not convincing. Compelling at times but not like a cathartic experience. There was a sense that my mind was creating a story without me intending so. Honestly, I didn't know what to think.
Michael Aquino, founder of the occult group The Temple of Set and former psychological warfare specialist, was fired after allegations surfaced that he ran a child sex abuse ring out of a san franciso daycare center. He was a specialist in the nature of illusion and deception. It is believed by many that he included satanic elements in his alleged sex crimes for the purpose of making them sound so surreal that accusers would not be believed. Given how close he was to other members of the government and to the central figures of the franklin pedophile circle conspiracy theory, and the surfacing of informal institutions of sex abuse in hollywood, I'm inclined to think this may be true.
