Tread lightly, paranormal junkies, for you have
ventured into the sacred ground known only as The K-Files. Welcome to week 2 of
the completely revamped 'Files. I'm starting to settle into the new format, and
I hope you all are too.
This week, the Top Story covers the mysterious creature
found in Borneo. Next, I present a mind-bending (or piercing, rather) story of a
medical mystery. Finally, with Sci-Fi's 'The Triangle' airing this week, I've
got a fitting piece on the Bermuda Triangle. You'd better get ready,
'cause here come the K-Files... Is
that a dinosaur? Mystery mammal
discovered in Borneo’s forests

Bhattacharya - NewScientist.com news service This is one of those
paranormal news stories that manages to make itself serious news. Whereas in
most cases I need to hunt down articles to present here, I came across this
one being proudly displayed near the top of The Drudge Report. And what a
doozy of an article it is for all of the cryptozoological folks. Its been a pretty big
year for the researchers of mysterious beasts. So far we've had a possible
dragon picture, video documentation of a giant squid, and even one of the
largest 'Bigfoot found' hoaxes in recent memory. Now, mere weeks before the
end of the year, we get this nice little present from Borneo. What I found most
entertaining about this whole story was that many people thought the
released image was that of a miniature dinosaur. At first glance, the
creature's long, winding tail could be mistaken as the long neck of say a
"Brontosaurus" type dino. For me, my attention was immediately drawn to the
creature's piercing eyes as captured in the night vision camera; therefore,
I was able to see it for what it was. My brother, however,
saw otherwise. Whilst collating the countless documents involved in the
management of Khyron.net (...), I was informed that there was a picture of a
dinosaur on Drudge. Being naturally curious (and who wouldn't be with such
an absurd communiqué?), I checked it out. I spent much of the remainder of
the day making fun of my sibling's error. I was therefore floored with
laughter when George Noory on Coast to Coast AM proclaimed his initial
excitement having thought the image was that of a dinosaur. I guess they want to
capture one now. Good luck trapping a cat/fox in Borneo, but I suppose if we
could find a giant squid, we could find anything... :: Medical Mysteries ::
Doctors Find 3 Needles
Embedded in Patient’s Brain MosNews - 02.12.2005
Doctors in the central Russian city of
Yekaterinburg have found three needles in the brain of a 67-year-old male
patient who complained of headaches. The doctors said they will not remove
the needles because the patient has lived with them for some time. I've heard all kinds of medical horror stories in the
past. Many of them have evolved into some kind of an urban legend, but for
the most part, they involve clamps or scalpels being accidentally left
inside a patient. But what happened here? I could understand a misplaced needle somewhere in the
torso section of the body, but the brain? How in God's green Earth did 3
needles (pretty good sized ones, to boot) find their way inside this man's
skull? I wouldn't even think such a thing would be possible. According to the article, it was a practice to kill
unwanted newborns by sticking needles into their heads. Apparently the small
incision wounds meant that you could write the child's death off as whatever
and not have to suffer any consequences. But the poor guy claims he was
raised in a loving family. So then, assuming he isn't the product of a botched
infanticide, there's really only a couple of explanations that I can come up
with. Either he just got really drunk and fell on a bag of medical waste, or
they're the remnants of alien experimentation. But even though I've always
felt Russians are pretty hardcore, I doubt the former is possible without
dying, so that leaves only one possible conclusion. In any case, he brings new meaning to the term,
'needle-brained.' :: The Bermuda Triangle ::
Perfect timing. With the Sci-Fi channel's miniseries 'The Triangle' in full swing, the
timing on this article was impeccable. I've always been a pretty big fan of the story of the Bermuda Triangle.
As with spontaneous human combustion (see last week's 'Files), however, the
Triangle has fallen out of the spotlight in recent times. Ships stopped
disappearing, so it essentially vanished into legend. Now, with 'The Triangle' hopefully stirring up interest, I'd like to see
a Bermuda Triangle revival movement. Really, there was never any good
theories for, or against, the Triangle phenomena. Even if it could be
explained through some kind of natural occurrence, it would be better than
having to closure at all. As far as I know, ships and planes did indeed
disappear at a high rate in the Triangle, so unless even these accounts are
fictitious, something happened there and I want to know what it was. Due to a hectic schedule, I haven't had the opportunity to watch 'The
Triangle,' but fear not--the first two episodes are indeed recorded and
ready to be screened. Look forward to a review/commentary sometime next week
either here or at Khyron.net. :: Dead End ::

That's gotta hurt.
The man, identified as Gennady Varlamov, has told Russia’s Channel 4
television that he was shocked by what he saw on an x-ray photo. His
relatives at first thought the news was a joke, but the doctors said that
the needles were real, although neither they nor Varlamov himself could
explain how they got inside the patient’s skull.
