I knew it!

I’d forgotten about the old AT&T logo.

The Faces of Bélmez

In August 1971 in Bélmez, Spain a woman and her grandchild noticed something strange on the kitchen floor of their home. Imprinted on the floor appeared a face. The face appeared sad and troubled. When the family tried to rub it out the face only appeared sadder, and the eyes widened. Disturbed, the home owner had the floor removed and a new concrete one replaced it. Three weeks after the first incident, another face appeared on the floor.

As word began to spread of the strange phenomena the local authorities started to take interest. They had the section of the floor where the faces were removed. As they dug under the floor they uncovered human remains. The skeletons dated back to the 13th century, and some were even decapitated. As the discovery was made four more faces appeared in the floor. The skeletons were removed and buried in a local cemetery. The floor was then covered in cloth and wax as a local notary oversaw. Three months later the wax was removed and the faces had changed positions. The faces continued to appear until the residents moved out of the home.

The Mad Gasser of Mattoon was the name given to the person or persons believed to be behind a series of apparent gas attacks that occurred in Botetourt County, Virginia, during the early 1930s, and in Mattoon, Illinois, during the mid-1940s. The first reported gasser incident occurred at the home of Cal Huffman, in Haymakertown, Botetourt County, where there were three reported attacks over the course of a single night. At about 10:00 pm on December 22, 1933, Mrs. Huffman reported smelling an unusual odor, and was overcome by a feeling of nausea. The odor and the nausea returned again at about 10:30pm, at which time Cal Huffman contacted the police. A third attack occurred around 1:00 a.m., this time affecting the entire house; in total, eight members of the Huffman family were affected by the gas, along with Ashby Henderson, a guest staying at the house.

The next recorded incident occurred in Cloverdale on December 24. Clarence Hall, his wife, and their two children returned from a church service at about 9:00 p.m. They detected a strong, sweet odor and immediately began to feel weak and nauseated. Police investigating the case discovered that a nail had been pulled from a rear window, near where the gas appeared to be the most concentrated, and presumed that the nail hole had been used to inject it into the house. A third incident occurred on December 27, in which Troutville resident A. Kelly and his mother reported similar signs and symptoms to the Huffman and Hall cases. A fourth and fifth incident occurred on January 10, when Mrs. Moore, a guest in home of Haymakertown resident Homer Hylton, reported hearing voices outside before gas was injected into the room through a damaged window. The second attack that night was reported in Troutville, at the home of G. Kinzie.

At least 10 other cases were reported in Botetourt, and 10 years later, over 20 new cases were reported in Mattoon. One witness claimed to have seen the gasser and described “him” as a tall thin woman dressed as a man and footprints belonging to a woman were discovered at some of the scenes.

I took this picture because of the blue light. I have absolutely no idea what it is. (That’s the top of an undeveloped hill approx. 300’ tall.)

Five years later, I still have no idea. I visited the top of the hill in daylight, but found nothing there.

This happened just recently actually. Some friends and I were camping by Lake Isabella in southern CA. Around 5AM I was awoke by the sounds of my friend flailing his arms against the tent. So I think “great he’s sleep trashing” but when I look over at him he’s wide awake. I start to question it and he shushes me. He’s staring at the wall of the tent behind our heads, and as I stare too, something pokes our tent. Not like just a light poke, but it was slow and long, like something was poking our tent by holding out a finger and fully extending its arm toward it. It would repeat this in different areas, but always on the same side. The intervals between pokes were inconsistent. My friend tried to dissuade it by smacking at it through the tent, and I by shining the light from my phone at it, but he was never able to hit it nor did it seems to even take notice of us. So we laid there and just kind of watched it do this for the better part of thirty minutes before it kind of petered out and stopped. We never once heard anything come or go or make any kind of sound.

I never once felt any kind of malevolence from it, but it was still hella creepy. Its been about a week now and I’m still kicking myself for not getting up to see what it actually was.

A 1962 newspaper article about a mysterious eighteen foot long carcass that washed up on the coast of Tasmania a year and a half earlier.  It had gills and cilia but no apparent mouth, eyes, or internal organs.  Instead it was a homogenous tissue unlike that of any known vertebrate or large invertebrate animal.  A carcass over thirty feet long but otherwise nearly identical was found on the same stretch of beach in 1970, and a third one measuring fifteen feet was found nearby in 1997.  There are sketchy mentions here and there of others.

Dubbed "globsters," the most frequent explanation for these bizarre creatures is that they are fragments of whales.  That may be correct, but I have to wonder why whale carcasses would have gills and fine hairs but no trace of bones or organs, and why whales in one tiny area near Tasmania keep getting torn apart in the same way.
