Nice to see the poll of the day at the top of the page. It's a good conversation starter.

I think I mentioned before my uncle bought me a book about strange, unusual and unsolved mysteries when I was very young, maybe 9 or 10 I'm not sure exactly when. Everything from Sasquatch to spontaneous combustion, to JFK. I devoured the book, much to my parents dismay, while my older siblings completely ignored it. Even at that young age I remember pestering my parents about JFK. We had a couple of framed JFK photos on the wall, it was pretty normal in those days in Ireland. He was revered. My parents were convinced that LHO was not the killer, and they were always insistent that Jack Ruby killed him to silence him. Looking back it was great they way they tolerated my curiosity, and endless questions. So I guess I started fairly young.

By the way, I think the X Files were great.

{Ed007's Note - I'd like to sound real cool and say it was Close Encounters of the Third Kind but I was only 3/4 when it came out although I do remember seeing that before I was 10 (1984) so I'll admit it was probably E.T. in '82 when I was 7/8. That really sparked off an infatuation with aliens in me and the rest just stemmed from there.}

Yep, probably x files for me too. I'd still watch them now if they are on especially the 1st movie and episodes like "paper clip" and the very final episode etc which I have watched quite a few times.

Never noticed the poll of the day thing, the first thing that got me interested in unexplained stuff was a show called Arthur c Clark unexplained mysteries, then obviously x files.
