Is This Amelia? | M.P. Pellicer

Amelia Earhart disappeared July 2, 1937, on the last leg of a trans-world flight. Two years after their disappearance, Earhart and her navigator were declared dead. For all this time her fate has remained a mystery. Every few years someone claims to have found Amelia or her plane, but definitive proof has never been provided.


In 1938, a lighthouse on Howland Island was named for the aviatrix. This was the place where she was supposed to refuel before ending her travels after leaving Lae, New Guinea, however even though her radio transmission was heard by those on the island, she and her navigator Fred Noonan never arrived. The message heard was: "We must be on you but cannot see you — but gas is running low — have been unable to reach you by radio — we are flying at 1,000 feet."

The Season of the Sea Serpent | M.P. Pellicer

In 1939, reports came in that a sea serpent had washed up on Point Grey Beach in Vancouver. However sightings of these creatures off the North Atlantic coast go back more a hundred years.

On January 14, 1939, Johnnie Davies was fishing on Williams Lake, British Columbia when he hooked something that not only pulled ferociously, but which he could see was a huge, dark shape beneath the ice. He tried to hold on but ended up letting go. According to him he thought it was the famed Ogopogo usually seen at Okanagan Lake. Fishermen in the area said he had probably hooked a land-locked sturgeon.

It seems that January was a busy month for unusual finds. In the cornfields of C.B. Campbell, who lived near Lynch, Nebraska a dust storm exposed the fossil of a monster that later was dubbed a "sea serpent".

Death Visits the Alkimos | M.P. Pellicer

The Alkimos was a merchant ship, one of many that wrecked off the coast of Western Australia in 1963. What sets it apart are the persistent stories that it's a cursed ship.

Built in a Baltimore shipyard, misfortune seemed to have visited early on when it was said a welder was unintentionally riveted up inside the hull, and found a day later, after he had suffocated. There is another version, where it was several workers who were sealed inside its walls. Supposedly this occurred due to the tight deadline and hurried construction of the ship, which was one of over 2,500 being produced for the war effort.

Is There An Ancient City Buried in the Gulf of Mexico? | M.P. Pellicer

Is There An Ancient City Buried in the Gulf of Mexico? | M.P. Pellicer: For over 40 years, George Gelé, a retired architect and amateur archaeologist has visited an area 50 miles east of New Orleans which he believes is where the remnants of an ancient, submerged city can be found.

Off the coast of Chandeleur Islands, which are a chain of uninhabited barrier islands, are granite mounds, which Gelé refers to as“Crecsentis”.

Prior to the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 12, 000 years ago, this area might have been dry land.
