A team of divers off the coast of Turkey found what might be the oldest shipwreck ever discovered, so they needed to check what was inside the large ancient jars the ship carried when it sank. Archaeologists from Akdeniz University, who published a preliminary report in the Journal of Maritime Archaeology , discovered a site nearly 100 feet underwater off Kekova Island. There, they found about 30 ceramic amphorae and three stone anchors belonging to a sunken vessel dating to 4,400 to 4,700 years ago. There’s not much of a ship to see in this shipwreck, as the wooden ship disintegrated long ago, but it still suggests a 33-foot vessel filled with ancient booze and olive oil. An Archaeologist ‘Nearly Fainted’ After Seeing What Was Left in These Ancient Jars Lead archaeologist Hakan Öniz described the site as a “time capsule at the bottom of the sea.” Is this time capsule filled with the usual time-capsule fodder? A newspaper from the day it sank? N...

Hollywood has given us all sorts of aliens over the years, from the little guy who wanted to phone home to the ones who vaporized the White House. But one of the few humans who’s actually walked on the moon has another explanation for what’s flying around up there, and it involves Satan. Charlie Duke, the Apollo 16 astronaut who became the youngest person to walk on the moon at 36, is now 91 and convinced UFOs are the work of the devil. “The Lord says what we’re seeing is real, but the devil can appear as an angel of light, the Bible says,” he told the Christian Broadcasting Network . And he’s been trying to convince people of this for years, with mixed results. Duke recalled discussing his theory at Rotary Club events, where “people were laughing me off the stage.” Eventually, he asked God to confirm it. His request was oddly detailed: If a businessman friend who never discussed UFOs brought them up the next morning, Duke wo...

If you were asked to pick the most unsettling television theme song ever composed, what would you choose? In the event that your answer ends up being Unsolved Mysteries , literally nobody on the planet is gonna have an argument for you. Not one person. However, if you’re in the rare position of not knowing what we’re talking about right now, go ahead and listen to the terrifying intro music below—and, for Christ’s sake, turn on a light first. Composers Gary Malkin and Michael Boyd wrote that haunting little tune in the 1980s, and it has been striking fear into the hearts of everyone who’s listened to it since. Believe it or not, even Malkin himself wasn’t immune to the song’s chilling effects. In a 2020 interview with the Los Angeles Times , Malkin recalled that after spending countless hours on the score and watching reenactments of murders and abductions, he couldn’t get the melody out of his head. “I was destroyed for weeks,” he revealed, “I had horrible nightmares.”...

On October 3, 1992, Sinéad O’Connor appeared as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live for the second and last time of her career. That evening, she performed two songs: her new single “Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home,” and an a cappella version of Bob Marley’s 1976 record “War.” At the conclusion of “War,” O’Connor held up a picture of Pope John Paul II, tore it to pieces, and yelled, “Fight the real enemy!” You can take a look at the footage for yourself below: SNL producer Lorne Michaels reportedly demanded that the studio’s “Applause” sign be turned off immediately after the incident, leaving the audience in absolute silence. The network reportedly received upwards of 4,000 com plaints in response and banned O’Connor from appearing on the show ever again. Everyone, from Catholic cardinal Bernard Francis Law to the Anti-Defamation League, also promptly condemned O’Connor’s behavior. After Her ‘SNL’ Protest, Sinéad O’Connor Explained the Pers...

While performing at the Punk Rock Music & Bowling Festival in Las Vegas on May 27, 2018, NO FX members Fat Mike and Eric Melvin joked about the Route 91 Harvest mass shooting that left 58 people dead and hundreds more injured. After Melvin suggested you don’t get shot in Vegas unless you’re in a country band, Fat Mike responded, “That sucked, but at least they were country fans and not punk rock fans.” Take a look at the footage for yourself right here: Stone Brewing, which created NOFX’s official beer, Punk in Drublic, and sponsored its music festival of the same name, quickly cut ties with the band over the incident, and NOFX was even dropped from the lineup of their own festival . A little while later, the group issued an apology on social media, writing, “There’s no place here to backpedal. What NOFX said in Vegas was shameful.” It went on to say, “We crossed the line of civility. We can’t write songs about how people in this world need to be more decent whe...

Released October 12th by developer Eye Blink Twice,  Time to Wake Up  blends dreams and memories into a potent cocktail of fear, offering an atmospheric psychological thriller for players to explore. After drifting off to sleep, Time to Wake Up’s main character , Alan, finds himself trapped in a dream he can’t wake up from. That’s unpleasant enough, except that’s not all. A voice drifts through the air like a sinister breeze, telling the player how much it likes their eyes, and not in a way that feels particularly complimentary.  Fortunately, the ocularly-focused voice seems willing to help Alan navigate this perplexing phantasmagorical maze. Although the voice doesn’t seem that happy to be here, it tells Alan that while he can get some shut-eye and pretend everything will be okay, it’s stuck in Alan’s “messed-up head.” Traversing memories through this dream’s twisting pathways exposes what made Alan’s head such a mess.  From a playground to a schoo...
