Earths Unsolved X-files (Part 4)

I especially liked the one about the haunting. I'm dealing with one where I live. It's good to know I'm not the only one that this stuff happens to,

I have been reading most of these x files and iv done some research of them myself and found some of them are hoax !!!

There are indeed websites that give alternative explanations to certain portions of these stories but all are still classified as unexplained.

Articulate your conclusions please.

Thanks for posting yet another intriguing thread. As I saw others mention - things like this are why I was first drawn to this site, and they make a great read.
The stones - fascinating.

One of the functions those lenses did was to help the aging see better, is my guess. In shopping through antique stores, I saw a few. The crystals make beautiful pendants enabling the older woman to see the menu at the restaurant. Although since these crystals were found in burial sites they probably had some kind of spiritual significance. Norway and Sweden as well as Germany are known for their interest in the occult. I have a lot to say about this but I'm not going to right now. Its something I want to post myself in the future.

As for ghosts, oh yeah. I've seen a full bodied ghost. Someone asked me if I took a picture. Alas, I didn't. It was in the grave yard at night though and it wouldn't have come out anyway. He was fully clothed in a cowboy styled top hat and tails. He wore snazzy cowboy style boots. Definitely a class act I hope he is resting in peace.

Here is what one site suggests:

Mainstream Theory:
These lenses were used for burning out wounds to prevent infection, light fires or as a magnifier for craftsmen. It is also believed that the lenses were made out of trial and error as the mathmatics needed to formulate the curvature of the lens had not yet been invented.

Alternative Theory:
It has been noted that the quality of these lenses has not been duplicated until the 1950s. It is possible that these ancient people possessed the technology to create these lenses for use in telescopes.

The refractive qualities of the lenses would suggest they (the manufacturers) were acutely aware of "light" properties and how to harness it - who knows really, we can only speculate unless some form of collaborative proof comes forward which specifies their exact usage(s).

Thank you for the additional info on these lenses. Thanks to other ATS-members for their contribution too.

Good stuff !!

This series is getting as interesting as Gulliver's Travels!
Can't wait for 5.

Gotland, of the hooked x inscriptions found only there and in America! Cistercian monks if I remember correctly accompanied the vikings in their voyages. There is an Excellent History Channel program entitled "the Grail in America" about the Gotland connections.

Well you can bet the title attracted me. Very cool read. I forgot about Shag Harbour, it was nice to bring that back to light in my mind.

i feel ya. these are amazing, shows they could do a lot more than stone structures.

You know you have to do a part 5

You haven't include the very strange case of the Black Dahlia murder mystery. Although, there are conjectures of who the killer was, through the deciphering of cryptic letters. It has never been solved.

I have heard about many of these stories, but I have also learned some new ones too! Thank you for posting I didn't reply till I read all four parts. Looking forward to the next installation. S&F!

This is great and the reason why I joined ATS

Thank you OP for a great series of posts and all the work you have pust into them I have enjoyed them. I seldom post because so many seem to make fun at the poster's expense, but I thought I would share one thing that happened to me, that was similar to the Time Slips story.

It happened in 2002 and was apparently a time-shift, although at the time it happened, I was overwhelmed and confused and explained it to myself, as seeing a parallel time. To be honest, I don’t know what happened.

Dave and I rode via motorcycle from the East Coast to Wyoming with Yellowstone as our destination. We made other stops along the way out and back too. One of those stops on the way, was Ft. Laramie National Park, WY. We'd stayed in Cheyenne the night before, ate breakfast and rode north to the park so it was near 11AM to Noon. The day was a hot (over 90), sunny, cloudless day in the last days of June. We entered the area of buildings and headed to the right. In and out of some of the houses, reading plaques etc., we may have been there an hour. The point being made, was the time of day; Noon - 1PM. At the far right where the walkway makes a loop and heads back is a creek not far from the walkway. In fact, there was a plaque describing how they would cut ice from it in the winter and store it in root cellar places. I saw the plaque later, but not at the time. When I first approached the place where I could see the creek and beyond, something happened...

Across the creek, on the bank of the other side, were wagons, lots of them, as far back under the trees as I could see. There were many people - men, women, children in period attire going about their business. There were campfires and it appeared to be suppertime as I could see some cooking, it was dusk and I was chilly, almost cold. My first thought was that we’d come on a special day and they had re-enactors or something there. I turned to say something to Dave but I couldn't see him anywhere and he had only been 10 feet away before. About that time I realized it was dusk! At noon? and cold! at over 90 degrees? So, I turned back to look again across the creek and they just faded away within a micro-second, along with the cold and growing dark of night. Once again, it was hot and sunny and this time when I turned, Dave was right where I believed he was. This all took place within seconds. (Maybe 20-30, I think, but who knows?) I was beside myself with amazement. Chill bumps were still on my body. Was it from the cold I felt or the event? I can't say.

I told Dave what happened and he was without an explanation either and said he'd never moved. Now, some might say it was the place and I assumed to see something like that would be there. I must say two things to that opinion. First, I researched places to go and see before we left on the trip. I knew that it was nothing like that, just the monument of the old Fort Laramie, some houses and the troop sleeping quarters and such were there. Second thing is, although I do have a little
European blood, I have Native American blood on both my mother's and father's side. Among other tribes, some of my heritage is Lakota (Sioux) and Cheyenne, and both tribes once traded there. So, if I saw something I would "expect" to see, I would think it would not have been white settlers but my own ancestors.

I have often thought of this day and I will never forget it. It truly was amazing.

Cool story.

The first thing that came to my mind was a residual haunting. Which is just really a naturally made "recording" of an event that plays back sometimes...not really a haunting as much as like watching a video of something. However, with the fact of your friend disappearing and not moving from where he was supposed to be, then maybe you actually experienced a slip. Maybe actually you were seeing from the Native's Point of view, as well, hence why you saw white settlers. So it could have been a link up with one of your ancestors too, but seeing through their eyes..

Cmon bro we all know this from part 1 brooooo

More please, and thank you.

What happened to you was a time-slip.

Rest assured of that..........brilliant story, authentic and not unlike the others. Seemingly momentary in time, unexplainable and 100% real to the observer.

I, for one, feel honoured you have shared this here - cheers mate
