For discussion of everything rum and uncanny, from cryptozoology (mysterious or out-of-place animals), UFOs, high strangeness, etc. Following in the footsteps of Charles Fort and all those inspired by him, like the field of anomalistics.

As this community is on Feddit.uk it takes a British approach to things but it needn't be restricted to the UK - if it's weird and unusual it probably has a home here.

Probably the ghosts hacked the site and took the page down

Here's an archive. Which was considerably harder to get than it should have been due to their shenanigans for no obvious reason.

It's restricting countries, not that the page just doesn't work.
