GO FASTER, FASTER, FASTER!

Another report of high strangeness comes to us courtesy of a reader who was reminded of the incident by this story. This actually reminds me of the night my family drove through a hollow in the little Mazda pickup truck. My sister was in the front with Mama and our…

It seems my High Strangeness series has attracted its fair share of interest. Today a reader relates his own encounter with the unexplained. I have a tale to tell, similar to some of those recounted by your friends or other readers. This one comes from the mid-‘80s. We were recently…

From time I like to take a break from chronicling Western civilization's collapse and share a story that reminds us there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in presidential politics. Contra the experts on campus and cable news, our understanding of the world is far…

My crypto-reader returns will a spiritual successor to the tale he shared last time. So, I was just out visiting my cop buddy in Indiana for the first time in two years, and he was regaling me with the backlog of Tales of Rural Police Adventures while we're out target…
