Wow some interesting stories told since I've been away. I don't have any real ghost stories that I haven't previously mentioned, but I do have a story in which aliens or something I presume was an alien is involved in. i'm not sure if I want to share it because I don't want to be thought a weirdo just making something up. But if you want to hear it Vince and the gang, I might tell it. I'm trying to make up my mind right now. And by the way it involves no anal probes or anything like that. I'm just hesitant to tell it because I've been laughed at behind my back before because I told the wrong person this story.

Russ theres a lot of ufo sightings here too, but i live slapbang in the middle of 4 airbases, the furthest being 20 miles away. Theres a lot of theories for and against ufo sightings here.

Still tell away. You surely cant come out looking as stupid as a hurlyburly construction worker admiting he was near tears scarred.

Goodmorning everyone lets have a great day and hopefully make an impact in someones lives ok. Deadahead part of the Vinny Pop club membership involves never being afraid of what people think and knowing that a true member of the Vinny Pop Band here will always respect what each person has experienced or believes to be true, so go for it, it is very liberating to reveal stuff. Brb off for the usual coffee Godbless us all.

g'day!

Well into british monday too.

Now how about a tale from the Big O?
I know despite your 'solid facts' mindset you must have a tale of mystery to tell.

ok hold on folks. I'll tell. But first I must go replenish my energy stores by grilling up a nice juicy T-Bone. Be back shortly.
To bad I don't have nikininja's tail to grill eh Vinnypop. I think it would turn out ok.

Not too many good mystery stories unfortunately. The best I have is a Thanksgiving dinner in the early '80s. The whole family gathered at the dinner table. I hear what sounds like a few footsteps above us. My sister heard it too (us two the only ones), and we looked at each other, but there is no second story in the house and no one unaccounted for!

One of the UK's better folklore tales. Is it the basis for the song jumping jack flash

Spring heeled Jack jumped up onto the roof of our house? And my sister and I heard him running along it a bit before he jumped off to parts unknown?

Well, I'll be! It's a gas gas gas!

I just breifely scanned google and didnt spot the tale i heard of jack. That he spent a snowy night tormenting villagers banging on doors and windows, namecalling and goading. In the morning the villagers found cloven hoofprints across their snow blanketed roofs.

I'll have to check ... do the lyrics to "Jumping Jack Flash" seem to be about S.H.J.?

In Maryland we have the Goatman!!!!

Of all fantasy-creatures who is said to live in lonely, often romantic places, is the appalling and dangerous Goatman, a creature you should avoid at all costs. He is one of the USA's most horrific monsters: half man, half goat. He appears on quiet roads, often in the state Maryland, with a shiny axe that he uses for chopping up teenagers.

The police have always had problems catching the Goatman because his strong legs and endless stamina always allow him to get away. No one knows exactly where he came from. Legend has it that he is the result of a top-secret experiment, approved by Washington, D.C. and conducted by the local authorities. Something went tragically wrong.

According to rumors, a scientist was conducting experiments on animals to improve human's physical abilities. Unfortunately, an experiment with a goat went horribly wrong. A power failure took place and a strange mix occurred. When the smoke settled, the scientist had become a monster, some part man, some part goat. Insane with disappointment and fear of what would happen to him, he ran screaming out into the night. The Goatman was loose...

Because of his horrific look, the Goatman developed a special hatred for young, pretty teenagers and his life is now dedicated to killing them. Some of his victims survive because they are in cars when the attacks occur. It appears the monster likes to jump up on the cars and scare the heck out of them. When particularly blood thirsty, he chops the tires so they can't get away. The evil creature then drags them with him, deep into the forest, where he consumes them with great pleasure.

Maybe he is just a story to scare away young couples from places where
they can be alone and make out. Or, maybe not. My advice: if you have to stop, lock your car doors, and look around for anything strange. Do not stop the car in the middle of the woods under any circumstances
