Spooky quicks May 2026

Tonight is the full moon, and is the Flower Moon. This is going to be an interesting month as there will be another full moon later on 31st May. We'll experience two full moons during May 2026, the Flower Moon and then the Blue Moon. 

Two moons during one month is rare but not completely strange. But two suns is very science fiction, dreamlike and in the realms of fantasy fiction. Scientists believe now that a binary star system would make a happy bunch of planets. To read more on the subject visit Space.com article. 

Researchers found urban birds, such as pigeons, blackbirds, crows, gulls, magpies, are more afraid of women than men, Is this true? If so then it could be connected to a woman perfume or her menstrual cycles. They don't know why this is: Nautilus: Birds afraid of women   

Fred Andersson posted a photograph of a troll that was taken in the forest near Steninge Castle in Sweden. The area itself is full of mystery and ancient sites from Bronze Age mounds, Viking forts and runestones. The photo was taken of Fred on a road beside a ruin, but the strange troll figure was seen among the background staring into at the camera. Afterwards Fred saw an unusual light in the sky.

Werewolf caught on trail camera?

This has been on topic for many these past few weeks. A short video clip, possibly a wildlife camera or trail camera, positioned in the undergrowth has captured an animal sniffing at it, then exposing it's sharp teeth before leaving. A lot of people believe it's a wolf. Is it a bear, coyote, wolverine or hyena?

Check it out for yourself: Clip 

I made a still image taken of this clip and asked various websites what it could be. Delving deeper into advanced Google mode, it said no evidence of AI was used, but gave possibilities, such as mentioning the Caucasian shepherd dog, mainly, then also mentioned Death Dogs from the film "Willow". It even pointed out horror film costumes and stories about werewolves! It seemed to suggest this might be faked but not AI, possibly a mask or costume designed by artists. The answers were inconclusive, either a prop or an actual living dog (the bear-dog) like this: 

After doing an image search, Bing, Google, Yahoo and so on contradicted one another about this. Another examined its frame and said it was a fictional clip and not wildlife photography. TinEye didn't seem to want to examine the photo. Yandex identified the creature as a wolf. DuckDuckGo was certain it was all artificial including the trees. So whatever it is just don't be afraid.

England's own Atlantis story

Firstly, for those who don't know about Atlantis: a legendary island "beyond the Pillars of Hercules" according to Plato the Greek philosopher. Pillars of Hercules is the modern day Strait of Gibraltar. The island was larger than "Libya and Asia combined". Described as beautiful, then it was destroyed and has never been found. The destruction of Atlantis happened 9,000 years earlier before Plato!

England's Atlantis: There was a smaller island off the coast of England that is part of legend. This mystery lost island is called Lyonesse. This was in the sea near Cornwall, southern England. Lyonesse is mentioned in the Arthurian legends. It's connected to hero Tristan, who is the same from Tristan and Isolde love story. Tristan's father was the king of Lyonesse but Tristan's home was Cornwall.  Lyonesse itself was fertile and rich of minerals with beautiful towns, 140 churches and a cathedral. It was said to be a paradise and then destroyed in a single night. 

Some say that the Seven Stones Reef is the exact location of what's left of Lyonesse today. Some believe the Scilly Islands are the remnants of Lyonesse. The only survivor of that fateful day was a man named Trevelyan who rode to Cornwall on a white horse. Fishermen often say they can hear eerie ghostly church bells coming from under the waves beneath their boats. 

My conclusion: I believe the fairy-tale island called Lyonesse was a real place off the coast of Cornwall. Also for arguments sake, Lyonesse is NOT Doggerland, all of that Ice Age material is buried in the North Sea.
