We can follow our intuition on Spirtual phenomena I don't think the supernatural will ever obey the confines of square little reason,nor does it need to.

The twin study is interesting. It's been found that twins who are separated at birth show more signs of the same behavior than full siblings who haven't been separated (I did a paper on twins for my psychology class).

You're right when it comes to biology, though. If the muscles are the same, then the hands that control writing will be the same and the writing itself can be the same IF the twins are identical. However, my brothers are fraternal twins who look exactly alike and one is right handed and the other is left handed. Their writing is nowhere near the same.

On the other hand, some evidence for twins thinking and acting alike goes beyond the biology. I remember a story a friend told me of watching two twin brothers working together on a wall. One twin would put his hand out without looking up and the other twin would hand him a trowel or a shovel or whatever he needed. All without either one of them looking up, saying a word to each other, or pointing at the item.

When my friend questioned the twins, they said they always worked like that.

So there's a mystery right there.

Climate change - well we already know most first world countries have weather modification. HAARP has been messing about with the upper atmosphere for decades.

What better way to 'attack' another country or bring them into line than a good earthquake, tornado or some other natural disaster. Where does weather modification fit into all of this climate change?

There are thousands of people being abducted every year. To think that some unexplained events are NOT caused by these abductions is just ignoring all the circumstancial evidence in front of us.

How many reported events do there have to be for some scientist somewhere to think it is "worth investigating" rather than just sitting back and saying "there is no evidence". Well, find some then. Plenty of people are citizen scientists but that is not good enough, it has to be investigated by science otherwise it is "not valid". That makes science a joke.

We know how they were made. We just don't know why. That's the opposite of Stonehenge where we know why it was made, but not how.

Incidentally, there are stone rings all over the UK and in many other countries besides. In an age when travel was supposed to be difficult, it's amazing that the same culture built the same standing stones in so many countries so far apart. I'd like to see the mystery of that culture solved.

Well, it was a five-year-old concrete block house with a stucco exterior.

Plus, it was inspected before they bought it, and no doubt again when they sold it. The only issue their inspector turned up was mold in one bathroom wall due to a leak. They had it repaired before they moved in, and wrote into the contract that they had to be there to watch the repair being done.

Here's a photo of raccoon paw prints on a car. I don't think they look enough like a human child hand print. Plus, the hand prints went up very high on the SUV - higher than a small child could reach and higher than a raccoon could reach.

You're right...they won't chew through blocks. I took pics of HUGE raccoon prints to send them to my manager...talk about Bigfoot! These prints were just a little smaller than my hand, which is small...but that was a large raccoon...and I've already deleted them. So I can't share.

Earthquakes are weather?

People have been disappearing for tens of thousands or possibly hundreds of thousands of years. There is no proof that there is anything paranormal or extraterrestrial in that.

I do not believe everything people say. These "reports" fall well into statistical insignificance,

This is a lie. If there is good evidence people will believe it. It seems that the majority of people do not believe there is good evidence. If you are making the claim as fact then support it with evidence, do not demand others do your bidding. Nobody is your slave. Also, how do you handle the "reports" that counter the other "reports"?

Dyatlov Pass is interesting. Never concluded what killed those campers. Also the Long Island, NY UFO crash of 1992.

I'm not disagreeing or implying you said anything wrong. I'm just letting you know there are photos, in case you want to investigate it further. It sounded like you might.

How many people have a Big Foot sighting but don't happen to have a camera in hand? Plenty. More than not.
They are a highly elusive, but intelligent primate.
This is my opinion.
