Critters, oddities, UFOs, "Fortean" mysteries... We had to have this one. This stuff doesn't fit anywhere else. But suppose it was all working together to make some kind of pattern or message, possibly in coordination with our other fields of interest? This is what we don't want to let get away, at least not without a closer look.

This is the study of landscape-supernaturalism, of the ancient and current ceremonial sites in our region. Of particular interest to us would be the identification and plotting of preindustrial sites to see if geological, astronomical, mathematical, or "ley" patterns may be inferred. We will not neglect an examination of crop circles, vortexes and other apparently natural power-sites.
