On one occassion we had been sat around the camp fire having a few drinks with friends and were heading off to bed. As we were about to zip up our tents and say goodnight, I noticed that our friend in the oppersite tent was looking very worried, I asked if he was ok and he said he had just seen a big black dog and that it had been staring at him, we were laughing at him as we had 2 large breed dogs amongst our group and felt there was nothing to be so worried about, however he persisted in telling us that the dog had frightened him and he wasnt comfortable going to bed alone. The following day we went off home and thought no more of it, until I was looking up the area for hauntings as I had had another experience which I will tell you later, I saw a story on a ghost dog that is said to roam the area and fits the description of what our friend saw,I feel bad now because we were laughing at him at the time. In the second incident I was out in the same spot with my 3 kids and their dad and we had been there a few days, we decided we wanted to stay some more but had commitments at home that needed addressing so my O/h and 2 children went back to Sheffield to sort a few things out, leaving me and my daughter there with our dog. He had been gone a while and I had been busy building the fire ect ect when suddenly I started to feel uncomfortable I glanced up and saw a man standing staring at me, not looking very happy at all, he wasnt dressed in old fashioned clothing and appeared very much alive and kicking, Id say he had a barber type jacket on or similar, with a longish basin haircut, but the look in his eyes was evil, if he was real im certain he had bad intentions towards me. I looked round to call my dog and looked straight back at where he had been standing but he was no longer there, the area is wooded but there was no sign of him anywhere. I was so scared everywhere I looked seemed to be a threat to me all of a sudden, where as before it had been my first choice of free breaks away from home, due to its beauty and peacefulness. I stayed put for a while, unsure of what to do next as the way back to the road was in the direction i had last seen him, yet the place I was standing in was scareing me also so i had no choice but to head off through the woods and back toards the road. As I was walking through the woods I began willing my O/H to ring me as I had no credit on my phone and was now possibly walking towards danger, as if by magic my phone rang where my O/H asked if I was ok as he felt like something was wrong...Weird. Whe I got back I contacted the police to report the weird man, but I have often wondered if he could possibly have been a spirit, his modern dress could be explained as I understand that an eco warrior lost his life out that way whilst protesting, maybe he didnt want us there anymore?? whatever the explanation, I didnt like it and although I have been back a few times I can honestly say that it did put me off. Stanton is a beautiful place and I have fond memories of my times there, but iv got to say, its a strange place sometimes.

Jersey is the capital of cool -- and weird!! Ever hear of the magazine <em>Weird NJ</em>? All sorts of strange things happen in the Garden State! I've lived in New Jersey for 38 years and I can tell you, there's plenty of weird stuff that happens here. Do you know that there's a "gravity hill" on Route 208 in Franklin Lakes? If you pull over to the median in the right spot and put your car in neutral, the car will roll <em>backwards up the hill</em>! I know this is true because I did this myself. I also know personally of several haunted houses in NJ, have had UFO sightings, and have been in contact with a LOT of people (police & state troopers included) who have had close encounters with huge, hairy humanoids. And I had my own missing time experience in my hometown of Ridgewood, NJ. Keep your eyes and ears open, Qwyzl, and you'll learn a lot. New Jersey is weirder than most places you'll ever go to. Sorry to disagree, but thanks for the comment anyway!! Nothing ever cool happens in New Jersey?! Jersey is the capital of cool — and weird!! Ever hear of the magazine Weird NJ?

However I have to totally disagree with the comment about the stones being a little less than 3 meters high. Unless those trees are extremely tall the tallest stones in the picture are just slightly more than 1 meter tall. Three meters is almost exactly 10 feet, the height of a regulation basketball rim, which these stones don't even begin to come close to. . Interesting story.

These things really are much more common than I ever imagined. It's just very strange and although I have a few ideas, I have no real explanation. Weird stuff, but I like weird stuff.

The electric skillet was still in the sink from breakfast and I decided to wash it before I left the house. Even though my water heater was only about 30' away, it took forever for hot water to reach the kitchen sink. I often joked that the water was coming via Sri Lanka, the Suez Canal, and Bermuda. So I turned on the hot water and while waiting, I turned around to get some iced tea. I opened a cabinet, took down a glass, opened the 'fridge and poured the tea. When I turned back around to the sink some 30 seconds later, the skillet was gone and the water was off! A quick search turned up the still-damp skillet in its usual storage spot. Did some helpful spirit wash the skillet for me? Or did I experience a time fugue? About five years ago I was off to run errands and went into my kitchen to get some iced tea to take with me.

I read Jacques Vallee's <em>Passport to Magonia</em> and <em>Confrontations</em> when I was a teenager and plan to read them again soon. In fact, I recently found my old copy of <em>Confrontations</em> at my dad's house. If you read through this blog and a lot of the comments I make, I think you'll see that I'm in agreement with Vallee and John Keel's ideas that much or all of these strange phenomena are interdimensional in nature. Other realities interacting with our own and beings that can move between our world and theirs seem to be a natural condition of our planet. I've been reading some of Philip Imbrogno's work recently too, and he's of the same opinion. Interestingly, he was a protege of J. Allen Hynek, scientific adviser for Project Blue Book. Hynek was originally was very much a nuts-and-bolts UFO guy who believed he was dealing with extraterrestrials piloting space crafts visiting earth, and scoffed at John Keel and Jacques Vallee. But Imbrogno claims that towards the end of his life, Hynek came to agree with Vallee's and Keel's ideas that the phenomena was much more complex than that and probably of interdimensional origin.
