The Occultist: A Miscellany of the Strange
The powerful earthquake that hit Turkey’s Van City in 2011 also affected the psychology of the City’s cats. The cats are attempting to commit suicide on a regular basis, said Professor Abuzer Tas, a lecturer at the Faculty of Veterinary Studies of Van’s Century University, Haberturk of Turkey informs.

Today, in the Hauntingly Awful.

Cascade Creature (by blouv1210)

Wow. It’s like a living fuzzy throw on your sofa. 

What’s interesting is the video is over 6 minutes long and the thing moves with apparent intent, seeming almost to court the lights. Also take note of the depth gauges seen on the overlaid display. 

The creature is likely the poetically-named Deepstaria enigmatica. Check out some of the fascinating description of the Deepstaria:

Imperfectly known, many specimens damaged. Two nominal species, information from both combined here based on Russell (1967), Larson (1986), Larson et al. (1988). Bell remarkably thin, broad, delicate, a rather flat inverted bowl when relaxed; up to ca. 60 cm diameter; mesoglea 1-2 cm thick, tapering towards edge; flexing down in “pursing” manner, margin closing to enclose large subumbrellar volume. Rhopalia reported 8 to ca. 20, number perhaps increasing during growth; rhopalar lappets minute to prominent, rectangular with circular ends. Marginal lappets not recorded, apparently very shallow or entirely lacking. Marginal tentacles lacking.

The creature is apparently utterly unique.

This is as strange and haunting as nature can get.

Went to use the restroom at my local grocery last night and this had been written on the wall above the urinal.

So I’m thinking Satan shops there too? Or various members of the New World Order?

Theories?

Awesome bizarro theory of the day: Keanu Reeves is actually French actor Paul Mounet and is immortal.
EDIT: I had to note, just in case anyone actually bought this weirdness for a minute, that Mounet died a fairly normal death at 75 and it looks like the location of his body at time of death was indeed known. More here…
