How to Win Yourself a Man Using Witchcraft, According to a 1973 Cosmopolitan Magazine

Cosmopolitan wouldn't dare run an article like this nowadays, but it's interesting to read something from when times were freer.

Are you a woman who's unusually outspoken? Peculiarly bossy? Preternaturally clever? Is anything about you special or extraordinary in any way? Are you single?
Face it: You're probably a witch.

Why not unlock your inner hellcat and fix yourself up with a nice, unsuspecting man? Or extract your revenge on a mean, unbearable one? The secret to everlasting love or sweet vindication is simply your own willingness to embrace the darkness rooted deep within your heart.

Thanks to a May 1973 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, we have at our disposal the ancient spellbinding recipes of our enchantress forebears, neatly documented in a listicle. A full five magical spells are inscribed there. They are, briefly: Read more

Are Immortals Currently Walking the Earth?

Are immortals currently walking the earth? Taylor Leonard lists several rumored possibilites.

Humanity’s quest for immortality is as old as the human race itself. We now see a Renaissance of new transhumanist ideas that make it seem like technology will be the cure to mortality. What once belonged to the realm of gods and magic is now in the hands of researchers and science – results pending, of course.

Here’s a list of these so-called immortals believed by some to be walking the Earth this very moment: Read more

Ghost Cities Mysteriously Appear Over China

Is there a logical explanation for the ghost cities that have mysteriously appeared over parts of  China?

Imagine looking out a window at dusk on a misty evening and seeing the ghostly skyline of a mysterious city floating in the sky above you.

A Small "T-Rex" Reported in South Texas

Lon Strickler shares a reader account of a Tyrannosaurus Rex sighting in South Texas.

I received the following account a few days ago:

Hello - I noticed your article about small dinosaurs in Hebbronville, Texas. This witness was not exaggerating because I have seen an unknown animal in a field here in Hebbronville.

I stopped walking not knowing what may be exiting at the road. Read more

Does New FBI Memo Prove THREE Crashes at Roswell?

A new FBI memo suggests that there may have been THREE crashes at Roswell, NewMexico.

A UFO museum that opened in Japan in 1994 was apparently the subject of Federal Bureau of Investigation scrutiny when it opened, according to recent Freedom of Information Access requests.
