Mystery
Four interesting things about the world you might not know
There are many such things about our world that have settled in our mind so much that we never ask questions about them. We assume that what we know will be right. But this is not necessary. Scientist Matt Brown, who writes about facts related to the world, in his book "Everything You Neu About Planet Earth Is Rong" (Everything You Know About Earth Is Wrong) mentions some things that you know about yourself. But to force a question.

Do you ever get a horrid anxious feeling whenever you're about to get onto a plane, like you could crash or the flight could get struck by lightning? Ever get a fear that all the horrid, very unlikely things that you see in the movies could happen to you? Snakes on a Plane stopped me flying for years - great film though.
Are We Getting Closer To The Truth?
Being a bit of a sci-fi nerd after growing up in the age of Star Trek and Star Wars, among other fan favorites, I anxiously have awaited the true stories behind certain events in human history. Unfortunately, those events remain largely in the classified files or, if they made it to the notorious FBI Vault, are redacted, at times, so much that they can not be deciphered by normal everyday citizens. The why of it all is an intriguing question that people ponder as they look for answers. Journalists, researchers, politicians, and historians that have access to resources most of us don't have, file Freedom of Information Act requests and even lawsuits trying to force the information to come into the light of day. For most people, we have only our ability to read between the lines, local bar conspiracy theories to enjoy, and the hope that one day a president will see fit to declassify the truths past leadership deemed fit to hide from the taxpaying public.

The weather has been just beautiful here in Jellico. Myself and a few friends decided that we wanted to go exploring in the surrounding mountains. To be perfectly honest, I didn't expect to write about it. As our journey unfolded I knew that this was something that I had to document and share. We just kept finding some of the most strange and unusual things. We also found some down right creepy things.

Zeeshan Mushtaq LonePublished 3 years ago in FYIDo "past lives" exist?
Past lives and reincarnation: what was once a hokey New Age theory is now a viral TikTok trend. Using a YouTube video to induce a state of hypnosis, TikTok users are emerging from their alleged hypnotic state with wild claims. Some say they discovered they “let the Trojan Horse in” during a battle in ancient Greece; others say their past lives were more recent, and that they died on 9/11 or caused the death of Princess Diana in 1997.

What if I told you that reincarnation is a real scientific subject of study? Not kidding. Not too long ago, I read a book by Jim. B. Tucker called Return to Life in which he recounted his work, first under Ian Stevenson who died in 2007, and then on his own, to get to the bottom of why so many young children seemed to know things it was impossible for them to know about a past life they insisted they had lived.

All over the world urban legends, myths, and conspiracies play a big part in any society's culture. In the western world, urban legends like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, and myths about haunted locations play an interesting role in our social lives. In the motherland of civilization, this is no different. Just like in the west, on the continent of Africa myths, urban legends, and societal secrets have been passed down through oral traditions, literature, and entertainment.

Carla Hall stepped out into deep indigo, that never-quite pitch that hovers until dawn. It’s as if the planet spots its head, never quite taking her eye off the sun. Or maybe the world revolves around this one city. Some Angeleno’s would certainly thrill to believe that. Others hold it in their bones as absolute truth. But night falls here. And Carla tumbles into it. Down from the rooftop bar with its buzzing heated lamps and six tops of bros, one floor leaked reggaeton into the stairwell. The next pulsed out top 40 hip hop. Until finally, Carla slithers through sweaty, matted clusters, ebbing and cresting under the incantation of some anonymous pop karaoke. Two men cowering from the approach of middle age lob crass anecdotes overhead as she pinches through the dried urine miasma of the doorway. They are a pair of good midwestern boys flexing their edge at one another in their uniforms of distressed denim and pomade tousled hair.

Hiding away was the best way she knew how to cope with what was going on around her. All the people. All the noise. All the drama. All the tears. She had to step away from it.
Leslie BergPublished 3 years ago in FYIAmerica's Most Popular Blues Legend, A Deal With The Devil?
Many people have heard the story but not many people know the history. If you've heard the story of the "Faustian Pact" it refers to a 15th century deal between a clergyman and the demon Mephistopheles. It's debatable what really happened but the Faustian Deal has become an ingredient in many literary, musical, artistic works, and cinematic pieces. In recent years the pact with the devil, or demons, has become a recurring ingredient in the just ended television series, Supernatural. Most of those deals centered around the characters of the crossroads demons, most notably the character of Mark Sheppards' Crowley.
