Super Long Hiatus

I apologize for everyone out there (that still read this) for my incredibly long suspension of posts- I recently started a new job, and have been busy personally as well.

The last few weeks I've become keenly interested (again) in the paranormal and strange. I was researching the hell out of ghost/haunting legends and locale, then somehow branched off into historical research.

I found a lot of interesting information (to me, at least), like how around the corner from my house there was once an infamous sanitarium, Blythewood, which housed all sorts of people with varying levels of mental disease. In my researching of articles I found a series of strange suicides/disappearances of patients from Blythewood, including one article regarding a patient who drowned herself in a pond right by my house that I regularly visit.

My mind was blown- ever since finding this out I've been feverishly researching my town's history as well as our neighboring towns. It's amazing to me learning of things that have happened right here almost "under my nose" in a way, if it weren't just for a small thing- time periods.

It's quite suitable I delve into all this creepy stuff, October's here and fall is quite simply the perfect time.

I've also gotten into mapping out burying grounds and cemeteries, both large and small, new and old, in Fairfield county.

Once I figure out how to post my Google maps on here I will, and share with anyone who's interested all the different creepy spots I've found, whether it be a supposed haunting or just creepy because of something that had historically happened in that spot (usually going hand-in-hand anyways).

Thank you all for loyally visiting, I hope everyone is well!

UFO Closes Down Chinese Airport! What!

ABC News- An unidentified flying object (UFO) forced Xiaoshan Airport in Hangzhou, China to cease operations on July 7. A flight crew preparing for descent first detected the object around 8:40 p.m. and notified the air traffic control department. Aviation authorities responded within minutes, grounding outbound flights and diverting inbound ones to airports in Ningbo and Wuxi.

Eighteen flights were affected. Though normal operations resumed an hour later, the incident captured the attention of the Chinese media and sparked a firestorm of speculation on the UFO's identity.

"It is a hidden U.S. bomber flying toward China," one Internet user wrote on Monday. Another wrote on Sunday night, "In my opinion, the UFO is neither a U.S. missile nor a Russian satellite. Suggestions that it is extraterrestrial are even more preposterous. Everyone, use your head. This is clearly a man-made phenomenon. Would the U.S. or Russia risk provoking China's anger by firing a missile or satellite rocket in Chinese skies, without warning? I believe the Chinese military is responsible for the UFO. It is a new missile or aircraft being tested out."

Fueling speculations further, Hangzhou residents released photos, taken in the afternoon before the delays, of a hovering object bathed in golden light and exhibiting a comet-like tail. Less than an hour before the Xiaoshan airport shut down, residents said they also saw a flying object emitting red and white rays of light.

Resident Ma Shijun was taking a nighttime stroll with his wife when he saw the object.

"I felt a beam of light over my head. Looking up, I saw a streak of bright, white light flying across the sky, so I picked up the camera and took the photo. The time was 8:26 p.m. However, whether the object was a plane, or whether it was Xiaoshan Airport's UFO, I don't have a clear answer," Ma told the Xinhua news agency.

The photos taken by Hangzhou residents may be unrelated to the UFO that shut down Xiaoshan Airport. According to Hangzhou meteorological authorities, residents in the afternoon probably saw light reflecting off of an airplane. As for Ma's nighttime photo, Beijing Planetarium curator Zhu Jing told Xinhua that the object looks just like a plane shining its strobe lamps.

For now, the UFO's identity remains shrouded in mystery. A spokesman from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) confirmed to ABC News that the matter is under investigation. He declined to disclose further details. A day after the sighting, however, an anonymous source told China Daily that authorities already discovered the identity of the UFO after an investigation but could not publically disclose the information because "there was a military connection." An official explanation is expected to be released on Friday, the source said.
