A Strange anomaly in the Canadian Artic

Following an official request by the Government of Nunavut, the Canadian Armed Forces conducted an aerial investigation into mysterious pinging sound, also described as a "hum" and "beep," coming from the seafloor in Fury and Hecla Strait, a remote Arctic region of northern Canada. The source of the sound reported by sailors and hunters since June, however, remains a mystery.

This passage is known for the presence of various types of seals and bowhead whales, marine species usually abundant in the well-known hunting region during winter and summer, but according to Paul Quassa, a member of the legislative assembly, the sound seems to be chasing away the animals. "That passage is a migratory route for bowhead whales, and also bearded seals and ringed seals. There would be so many in that particular area. This summer there are none" said George Qulaut, another area expert.

According to the Department of National Defence senior communications advisor, Ashley Lemire, 'a CP-140 Aurora aircraft flew to the region under the mandate of “Operation LIMPID” and recorded no artificial noises emanating from the area,' Nunatsiaq News quoted DND's email received November 3, 2016.

“The air crew performed various multi-sensor searches in the area, including an acoustic search for 1.5 hours, without detecting any acoustic anomalies. The crew did not detect any surface or subsurface contacts,” the statement continued.

The only thing the crew did observe were two pods of whales and six walruses in the area of interest.

According to the BBC, the Canadian press offered various explanations for the sound. From a sonar survey conducted by a mining company to military submarines and Greenpeace doing it deliberately to scare away wildlife from the rich hunting area.

All of them have denied involvement.

The cause of the pinging noise, which locals say can even be heard through the hulls of boats, remains a mystery, the department of national defense in Ottawa said.

Amelia Dyer , a devil who lived in disguise

Amelia Dyer is believed to have murdered hundreds of babies during the 19th Century. Her crimes led to one of the most sensational trials of the period and shone a spotlight on the Victorian practice of "baby farming". How did a seemingly respectable woman stoop to such cruelty? On 30 March 1896, a parcel weighted down with a brick was fished out of the River Thames in Reading. Inside, swaddled in layers of linen, newspaper and brown paper, was the partially decomposed body of baby Helena Fry. White tape had been wound around her neck, with a knot under the left ear. It was a gruesome discovery, but one which would lead detectives to unravel the crimes of one of the 19th Century's most notorious child killers. Born in 1837 to a shoemaker in a small village in Bristol, Dyer had endured a tough childhood in which she was the main carer for her mentally ill mother. As an adult, she became a nurse. But, rather than use her skills to care for people, she embarked o...

Reincarnation from Egypt

When Dorothy Eady arrived to Egypt for the first time, it was obvious to her that she had been there before. But her last visit near the Nile may have taken place thousands of years earlier. Dorothy was born on January 16, 1904 in the London suburb of Blackhearth. Doctors believed that she would not survive a terrible fall when she was three years old. However, it seems that the accident she faced was the beginning of her unbelievable life - a moment of opening the gate to the memories of a past life. Over the years, many skeptics tried to disprove Eady’s mystifying tale, but nobody could ever fully negate that she was one of pharaoh Seti I’s (c. 1290 - 1279 BC) lovers. An Ancient King’s Lover? Dorothy grew up in a Christian family and she attended church regularly when she was young. One day, her parents took her to the British Museum. While looking at the photograph of the temple of Seti I, a pharaoh of the 19th dynasty of the New Kingdom Period (and the father of Rameses ...
