The Road To Innsmouth

  Can you turn street lights off by your mere presence? No? Well neither can I but some people claim they can, the phenomena is called 'Street Light Interference' or SLI and the people who experience this phenomena are affectionately called SLIders. So read on and find out what this phenomena is all about.  Street Light Interference (also know as Street Lamp Interference and High Voltage Syndrome) is an unexplained phenomena where certain individuals claim that they can effect Street lighting in their local area above what would be expected by chance. This often is represented by flickering lights as they travel under them, sometimes they turn off completely and occasionally entire stretches of lighting can turn off. This works when on foot or in vehicles. Typically the lights turn on again when the individual leaves the area making it all the more mysterious.  The term was first coined by Hilary Evans while investigating the phenomena for the Association for the Scientific Stu

This year, Road To Innsmouth journey to different forests and woodlands within the UK to investigate high strangeness. This ongoing series will delve into various strange reports at different locations.

  WE ARE BACK!!!! after some time due to the pandemic and family and work commitments we are hitting the road again with new investigation, a new podcast and a new member of the team. Join us as we discuss these things and our recent investigation.

  Black smoke rings floating in the sky have been seen for many years by many people all over the world, often discounted as coming from a bonfire or a battle re-enactment but can all these sightings really be explained so dismissively? Read on to find out. They have been reported numerous times from the US to Russia, while some believe them to be easily explained as smoke rings caused by fires of burning rubber,  or other noxious but very much terrestrial substances, that through planning of coincidence cause a floating smoke ring. Some easily dismiss them as being caused by cannon fire from a local reenactment. There are some sceptics who have put down the sightings to various weather phenomena that my not be fully understood but enough is known for them to confidentially dismiss every sighting. Others believe a far more nefarious plot involving that modern and seemingly never dying conspiracy theory of chemtrails and government weather control experiments (or mind control as some be

  The legend of Cynocephaly or the Dog headed man is maybe less common than that of his more famous cousin the werewolf. However the stories of these people go back thousands of years and stretch entire continents. Described by both Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo and written about by Greek scholars are they truly just myth and legend or the musings of a traveller seeing a Baboon for the first time while visiting Africa? Or is there something more to this legend? Although sometimes there are seen as interchangeable 'monsters' of legend the Cynocephaly are quite distinct from those suffering from werewolfism or Lycanthropy. Where are werewolves are people that change in to a wolf form be it through a curse, magic or misfortune the dog headed man was simply a man in all respects apart from the face he had a dog head. They did not change using magic or herbs or other such rituals but were a distinct species that live in tribes as families often separate but sometimes along sid

Nestled into the Brecon Beacons lies The Skirrid Inn a pub with a history dating back over 900 years and if the walls could talk they would be full of tales of death, murder and blood. The pub it's self is a beautiful look structure in a quiet area a few miles outside of Abergavenny. It's thick walls and roaring fireplaces and the hum of locals and holiday makers talking and laughing bely its horrific history. As would be expected from a building that has seen so much history and bloodshed rumours of hauntings and poltergeist activity abound. To placate some of these sprits and to ensure the patrons at the Skirrid Inn have a pleasant stay the landlord is said to put out the 'Devils Cup' or 'pwca cup' each night. The cup is full of ale and placed out each night to appease the spirits or maybe the Devil himself as an offering of good will and the next day some of the ale has gone and the spirits leave the pub alone for another night. This ritual has been maintaine

  On a cold Snowy February 1855 a strange event occurred through both East and South Devon that is still often mentioned to this day, that event would become known as the Devil's footprints. After a night of heavy snowfall the areas around Exe Estuary woke to a strange sight, a series of hoof like foot prints could be seen they stretched for between some 40-100 miles crossing gardens and roof tops. The explanation for this if lore is to believed is that the residents of East and South Devon were visited by the devil that wintery night as he wandered through the county plotting some nefarious deeds no doubt and all that was left as the witness were his cloven hoof marks.   The hoof prints were traced over haystacks, through walls and even roofs this was certainly not the works of the local wildlife unless deer and horses can climb and pass through solid objects. The Times described the prints as  the Times the footprints were described as:  "more like that of a biped than a qua
