For your weekend. Rocks that look like food. Yummy Rocks – Part 1 – #spookygeology

https://spookygeology.com/yummy-rocks-part-1/

I haven't been able to concentrate on my long-term project #SpookyGeology lately but there is still a ton of unique content there located at the strange intersection of #geology and #paranormal

I'm pretty proud of it. Please contact me if you're curious about it.

Movies featuring quicksand hit their peak in the 1960s. The number has been sinking since then. https://spookygeology.com/trapped-in-quicksand/ #spookygeology

I was prompted by the stupid OOParts mention in Berlitz' book to follow-up on some of his examples. As expected, it wasn't easy because he wasn't exactly accurate in his statements. Not big on fact-checking, Berlitz.

I have a crazy amount of material for #spookygeology stuff on OOParts, concretions and mysterious objects in stone. I can never seem to find the right time to write about it. Also, I'm still not happy with the site layout. https://spookygeology.com/

A case of #spookygeology - Fossil shows the cause of death was decapitation from a larger predator.

It all started with Ivan T. Sanderson calling places with #weird and anomalous happenings "vile vortices". The concept of a #paranormal place being an energy "vortex" is popular among the spiritual crowd and a #sciencey-sounding explanation to explain a #mystery or #haunting Check out the history of this idea from a #geological perspective. #spookygeology #geology

The earthquake in Afghanistan on 21-March generated a viral video and discussion about #earthquake lights. How wrong was everyone about this video?

Totally wrong.

See what caused the lights in the sky. #geology #Fortean #mysterious #spookygeology https://spookygeology.com/earthquake-lights-pseudoeqls-video-from-india/

The viral videos showing "earthquake lights" in India has a more prosaic explanation. News media totally failed on this. #earthquake #earthquakelights #spookygeology https://spookygeology.com/earthquake-lights-pseudoeqls-video-from-india/

Looking up #folklore about kobolds and "tommyknockers" for #spookygeology. I always get a bit overwhelmed at the volume of material and think I'll never be ready to write about it because I don't have a full grasp of the concept.

Damn it if "kobolds" aren't connected to so many tangents, even poltergeists, as well as "cobalt" itself.

What is #SpookyGeology? It's the intersection between geological situations and people's weird ideas and scary stories about the earth. So - it's your hellish or mysterious places, supernatural ideas about rocks, magical earth energy, and how the earth might kill you. https://spookygeology.com

Catching up on BBC's #Uncanny. I heard a mention of that old chestnut, the Stone Tape Theory. Here's my video on it:
Is it an explanation for hauntings? https://youtu.be/a32y-vTmhE8 #paranormal #SpookyGeology

I've updated my web site theme for #SpookyGeology
It's a science-based exploration of weird ideas about geology - paranormal places, alternative ideas, geomythology, anomalies, dangers.

Please check it out!

There were concerns that a mountain in Turkey started to 'burn' after the earthquakes. Some people saying the quake had induced volcanic activity. It almost certain is a landslide. Not geothermal. #earthquake #spookygeology https://www.reddit.com/r/geology/comments/10z22qu/the_person_says_the_mountain_started_to_burn/
