Beginning in the late 1960s, an array of French kids began having bizarre run-ins with a bevy of diminutive, pot-bellied, elf-like entities that left investigators wondering if this might not be the opening of a new era of high strangeness.

In what has to be one of the most intriguing, confounding, and flat-out jaw-dropping flaps in the annals of ufology, a roughly 300-day stretch in 1970 and ’71 plunged Finland into an unprecedented wave of high strangeness. Citizens across the country were left stunned by the sudden emergence of tiny, space-suit-clad beings—entities that seemed to hail from a reality heavier, slower, and infinitely stranger than our own… creatures who proved more than capable of harming anyone foolish enough to try to capture one.

In 1949, a man driving along the Pan American Highway en route to Lima, Peru, caught sight of a large, glinting object hovering over the desert floor. Though he could have little expected it, this chance encounter would send him careening into the world of high strangeness and make him the focus of one of the most bizarre cases in the whole of ufology.

For centuries an aristocratic Scottish family were said to hide a terrible secret; one that gave rise to rumors of a quasi-humanoid creature kept hidden from the world within the crumbling stone walls of the highland castle they called home; a diabolical descendant who’s appearance—thanks to a witch’s odious spell—was so distressing; so damnably revolting that it was dubbed the “Monster of Glamis”.

In what has to be one of the strangest sagas in paranormal lore, a star-crossed British family endured a maelstrom of moist mayhem when, in 1933, they became the victims of what was referred to as a “water ghost” but which modern supernatural scholars have re-branded a “hydro-geist”.
