Showing results for "England" in Unexplained Mysteries

The most famous and documented investigation of British psychic researcher Harry Price's long career was that of Borley Rectory, in a tiny village in Essex, 60 miles from London.

New England's history is marked with witch executions, curses, and an untold number of cemeteries hiding mysteries beneath their stones. In this sometimes harsh landscape, the truth is often stranger than fiction. Examine the footprints burned into the ledge of Devil's Foot Rock in Rhode Island.

In Aroostook County, Maine, elves called lutins exasperated farmers with their mischievous tricks and games. In Uncasville, Connecticut, beguiling creatures emerged for centuries at twilight to collect corn-filled baskets from members of the Mohegan Tribe. And in Harrisville, Rhode Island, a vision of fearful banshees augured death to an Irish seer.

In this interview we discover where Dennis thinks Jesus was during those formative years and what he was doing.

Historians find the Middle Ages a period shrouded in mystery.

The most powerful was the Knights Templar, loved by the people and whose code was the epitome of honour. But the knights slowly succumbed to dark forces - if contemporary rumours are to be believed.
