Why Are We Here? Scary Theory 3 – Phobophages, Interdimensional Parasites (a contemporary allegory)

Sometimes it’s best not to ask why we are here, as there are many possible answers and some are just plain terrifying, soul destroying or depressing.

Dolphins in Croatia – watching Bottleneck Dolphins from my terrace in Cesarica, Karlobag

We don’t always get to see them. Last time we were in the next village and we didn’t, but the time before that we actually encountered them whilst kayaking out on the sea near Karlobag in Croatia.

Creepy Carpathian Unknown Animal Trailcam

This is in response to a comment by Josh Gross – The Jaguar about game cam use. This is some strange trail cam footage I got a few months back. The creature is both large and partially transparent. No idea what it is but I guess it could be a wild boar. The photos creepedContinue reading “Creepy Carpathian Unknown Animal Trailcam”
