New Hampshire court rules Bigfoot costumes OK in state parks

The New Hampshire Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Bigfoot's right to romp around Mount Monadnock -- and against a state regulation governing special events at parks. The court ruled unanimously Friday that the language of the regulation is so broad it would apply to six people holding a private prayer service, three people carrying campaign signs at a mountain's peak or even a lone protester

Dead alien hoax in Siberia revealed to be made out of meatloaf!
We said it was too good to be true and, sadly, it was.  The students behind the discovery of an alien's body at a UFO 'crash site' have admitted that it was a 'crummy' hoax made out of stale bread.  Friends Timur Hilall, 18, and Kirill Vlasov, 19, shot the video that showed the alien's mangled remains frozen in snow in Irkutsk, Siberia.  The pair were questioned by police over their 'extraterrestrial discovery' but admitted to their stunt.

UFO over Jerusalem just a marketing stunt for UFO blockbuster coming out this Summer?
It's the footage that has true believers in a spin.  Several videos posted to YouTube last week appear to show a strange ball of light hovering above a Jerusalem shrine before disappearing into the night. At first the clips, shot from different angles, seemed convincing -- or at least like an elaborate hoax.

Stone Age artifacts discovered by Vikings were considered magical relics!
Vikings considered Stone Age objects to have magical qualities, and such ‘antiques’ were more important in Viking culture than previously understood, according to new archaeological findings.  Excavation of around 10 Viking graves in Rogaland, southwest Norway, had uncovered Stone Age items, such as weapons, amulets and tools.

Skeptic Benjamin Radford tells Discovery News the UFO over Jerusalem, 'almost certainly a hoax'.
On Jan. 28, a light appeared over Jerusalem. Apparently guided by some form of intelligence, the light hovered high above the Dome of the Rock, an ancient Islamic shrine. The footage then shows the light drop and seemingly hover just above the shrine. After a few moments, and a brief flash of a strobe, the light took off, disappearing into the night sky.Full article: http://news.discovery.com/space/jerusalem-ufo-almost-certainly-a-hoax.html

'Ghoul' from Louisiana photograph really part of a viral publicity stunt for new J.J. Abrams movie Super 8!
Remember yesterday's creeptastic news report about a ghoul shambling through the Louisiana woods? Bad news, cryptid fans — this creature is now being pegged as some extraterrestrial horror from the Steven Spielberg-produced and J.J. Abrams-directed alien flick Super 8.  According to Movieweb, this image is Super 8 viral marketing that began on a hunting supply site's Facebook page and wended its way to mainstream media:  It first appeared on Wildgame Innovation's Facebook page. It is a picture reportedly snapped by a deer hunter on a reserve in Berwick, near Morgan City, Louisianna [sic]. It was originally being passed off as real, but now inside sources close to the production say its actually a viral image from Super 8. There is even video from a young Weirton, West Virginia extra called "Crying Girl", who talks about having a run in with this creature in the movie.

New book by paranormal researcher Brad Steiger reveals the truth behind the legend of the Haitian voodoo zombie
 The undead are all around us, and have been for decades.  Zombies are in our mass consciousness, invading art, literature, entertainment and even education. But at the heart of this fear-mongering revolution is a single question: Is it all pure fiction, or are there in fact real zombies?  That depends on your definition of the word "zombie."For filmmakers in Hollywood, zombies are half-dead figures that lumber toward you with arms outstretched, stinking of rotting flesh. But in Haiti, could zombies be unfortunate victims who have been forced into slavery while under the influence of highly potent drugs?

Men behind the 1995 'Alien Autopsy' hoax discuss their controversial film with humor
In the same tradition of some of science fiction's greatest space stories, Ray Santilli and Gary Shoefield have some serious mind-warping going on with "Alien Autopsy."  Grounded in the happenings before, during and after one of the biggest television events in 1995 with the airing of the Fox television "Fact or Fiction" special "Alien Autopsy," the off-beat comic re-telling of Santilli and Shoefield's tale in movie form presents an alternate version of what really happened.

Heinrich Himmler hired alchemist to create gold out of stone at Dachau concentration camp
Nazi chiefs believed they could turn stones, sand and soil into gold, according to a new book.  Heinrich Himmler, head of Hitler's SS police force, was tricked into thinking that precious metals could be produced in this way - and then used to buy weapons to strengthen the Third Reich.  The Nazis set up a secret unit in the Dachau concentration camp before the Second World War, and appointed Karl Malchus, an alchemist, who convinced Himmler that he could make gold from stones, soil and even paraffin.

Research done by analyst at MIT reveals whats behind many of the recent UFO sightings over China
Those probably were not UFOs that hovered over China recently, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology analyst said.  The images of the UFOs have caused quite a stir in China and on blogs around the world.  But many of the images appear to be faked with the software program Photoshop and the ones that were not faked seem to depict the launch of a Chinese ballistic missile, said Geoffrey Forden, an MIT weapons analyst.
Forden, who also specializes in Russian and Chinese space systems, published his analysis on a blog called "Arms Control Wonk."
