Strange Things with Chris James

The Indians have some legends that we should all pray are either not real or have died off over the years. Otherwise we might be in big trouble. Here are a few rather scary legends I’ve found digging through the internet, old texts and a few books. The Ice Giants have a nasty disposition. They live up around the Great Lakes and places where it snows a lot. They are described as being huge. The mor...

People have reported seeing Bigfoot all over the world. Other folks say what they saw looked a lot like Bigfoot only it was more like a dogman. The body was large and covered in hair. It walked on two legs. The face looked like a dog or wolf. Having seen just about every werewolf movie Hollywood ever made I can see why the people seeing this thing are so shook up. Let’s take a look at some of the...

In January, 2018 the people living in Hawaii received a warning saying there was an inbound nuclear missile coming their way. What would you do? What could you do?

How many times would you look at your phone before realizi...

UFOs have been seen in the skies for as far back as recorded time. Back in ancient times people who saw something up in the sky would describe it using whatever terminology they had.

The UFOs caused a lot of difficulty with his men when th...

Lee County, South Carolina, June 29. 1988, Chris Davis was just getting off work. He’d been on the evening shift and now had to drive home in the dark. His route took him through the Scape Ore Swamp.

Had Napoleon not attacked Egypt we might never have understood Hieroglyphs. The Rosetta Stone was found only because the wall it was hidden in was destroyed. Canned goods were invented to feed Napoleon's army. A man named Charles Barbier came up with a system of communication using holes punched into a piece of paper. This was called Night Writing. The military wasn't interested so blind people be...

If you think you have a bad job look at what some folks do for a living. Professional ear cleaners in India. Professional mourners in Taiwan.

Here are a few stories to make you look over your shoulder late at night. Become a supporter of thi...

Here are a few trips that are memorable to say the least. My drive to El Paso and back were I had a weird run in with an ancient gas station. In 1948 Frederick Benjamin Carlin set out to drive, sail, around the world. He had an old military vehicle called a "Seep" designed to cross rivers. He was going to cross oceans with it. Carlin and his trusty Seep, the Half-Safe, arrived in Montreal, Canada...

All over the world, people get together on a regular bases and perform some really weird actions. Some might be considered illegal depending on which country you’re in. Some will sound absolutely insane. I’m glad to see there are some folks out there willing to go beyond the norm in a pursuit of tradition.

In 990 church leaders discovered the dates of significant holydays would happen on the same day in 992, this led church leade...

Thousands of ships entered this sea, never to escape. To add to the mystery, the Bermuda Triangle is ri...
