The World for People who Think
High StrangenessS
Here's a familiar story. Two young girls are in bed one night when they hear a curious tapping noise coming from somewhere in the room. This happens on several consecutive nights. It seems to emanate from the wall, and they think at first it must be coming from the house next door. But then, weirdly, they realize that the noise is responding to them, even when they are whispering so quietly that no one outside the room could possibly hear. They find they can communicate with it, by asking questions and getting it to knock once for yes, two for no, and three for don't know. For more complex queries it will rap out the letter of the alphabet (five knocks for E, 13 for M, etc). The whole family soon gets involved, and gather nightly to ask the unseen entity about itself and get it to answer questions about themselves, which it often does correctly. The house is soon filled with neighbours, local clergy, police, mediums and investigators, all coming to wonder at the phenomenon and try to figure out what's causing it.
Capitola, California -- Private eye T.K. Davis has worked his share of oddball cases. Once he tracked down a one-armed woman wanted for child endangerment. He staked out a backyard to catch a guy throwing dirt clods into a pool. When you make your living answering life's mysterious questions at $100 an hour, you take a few calls out of the blue.

A strange looking cloud that appeared to the west of Cobar last Wednesday evening and then vanished in an instant, has been explained by the Bureau of Meteorology as a rare lens shaped formation or in technical terms an 'Altocumulus Lenticucaris'.
Green Street resident Denise Kosef said she and her mother were watching the unusual cloud at about 7.45pm when it disappeared in a flash.
"We couldn't believe what happened," she said.
"One moment the cloud was reflecting the last rays of the sun, then whoosh, it was gone. We had never seen anything like it before and were amazed.

Hundreds of students were evacuated from Germantown High School and officials can't pinpoint the mystery odor that drove everybody out. Whatever created the smell also made five cafeteria workers sick. They were sent to the hospital and investigators shut down part of the campus as a precaution.
Around 12-30, sirens blared from fire trucks at Germantown High as hundreds of students evacuated building 'A'. Chris Hanford, a sophomore, was among them. "We heard something about chemicals and that's all we knew," he says.
Officials say the five cafeteria workers went to the hospital complaining of itchy skin, trouble breathing and tight chests. Hazmat crews went in with special equipment, but found nothing. Whatever caused the noxious odor must have disappeared before they got there, surmised officials. The mystery odor sparked rumors of a stink bomb or pepper spray.
