Rendlesham Forest

added29 August 20261980

A Suffolk forest between two US air force bases where, over three nights in December 1980, servicemen reported lights and a landed object three times. The deputy base commander, Charles Halt, recorded events on a dictaphone in the forest itself and filed an official memorandum, later declassified. The Ministry of Defence stated there was no defence significance and the investigation ended there. It is called Britain's Roswell.

Borley, 'the Most Haunted House in England'

Borley Rectory was a demolished Victorian parish house located in the rural civil parish of Borley in Essex, southeastern England, near the River Stour. Erected in the mid-19th century in an imposing red-brick High Victorian Gothic style, the residence achieved international fame during the 1930s and 1940s through the publicized investigations of paranormal researcher Harry Price, who branded it across British tabloids and bestsellers as "The Most Haunted House in England."

Alternative 3

Anglia House in the historic center of Norwich, Norfolk, UK—the former central broadcast headquarters of Anglia Television. It was from this building in the summer of 1977 that the network aired "Alternative 3," one of the most elaborate television mockumentaries in British broadcast history, which inadvertently laid the groundwork for modern conspiracy lore regarding secret space programs and elite off-world colonies.

Epping Forest

An ancient forest on the boundary of London and Essex, once a highwaymen's refuge — an inn here carries Dick Turpin's name. Over the last century it became known for something else: bodies have been brought here for generations. Police have recovered the remains of several murder victims in it, and the forest has a reputation that makes accounts of figures between the trees sound more plausible than they should.

Coyote Canyon and the Coyote Springs tract

Coyote Canyon and the Coyote Springs tract form a rugged canyon featuring natural mineral springs nestled at the foot of the Manzanita Mountains southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. In the late 19th century, it was a quiet destination for wilderness camping and convalescence; in modern history, it became one of America’s most secretive and anomalous military corridors, absorbed into the restricted perimeter of Kirtland Air Force Base and Sandia National Laboratories—nearly a century before the Paul Bennewitz affair made it globally famous.
