“In New Zealand we had this colossal squid, which was discovered just off the shores of New Zealand, between New Zealand and Antarctica back in 2003. It's the biggest squid ever found, and I know that there's things living down in the depths of the ocean that do explain the Kraken - you know, these giant things that people saw back in the day, that could take ships down - and so I know that there's stuff out there, and I like the idea that we haven't solved everything yet.” PeopleKnowsIdeasFoundStuffSawsHavensOceanDown AndDepthShipsGiantsShoreNew ZealandColossalBack In The DayAntarcticaSquidsKraken Author:Rhys Darby
“When I was a kid I thought I saw a ghost in the forest when I was on a bush walk, like a walk through the forest. I saw something weird pass from one side of the track to the other, and it was sort of a white, blurry... it's hard to describe, really, something that was almost see-through but it just moved in front of me. It was definitely something you could tell was there, and it really freaked me out. I think I was probably 10, and I ran all the way home.” ThinkingWayHardHomeKidsSidesWhiteWalksSawsFrontsMovedTrackGhostForestsRanWay HomeBlurry Author:Rhys Darby
“I was an adult and I was in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I was performing in this cave - they used to bury the plague victims in these caves underneath the streets of Edinburgh, when I got this weird cold sensation up my spine, it gave me this really weird feeling, and then I looked up and there was this white, sudden white shape, that just zapped from me and went straight to the light that was at the back of the room, and I just stopped cold and said to the audience, "Did you guys see that?" No one saw it.” SaidFeelingsLightUsedGuyWhiteRoomsAudienceSawsStreetsColdShapesAdultsVictimPerformingSensationsCavesFestivalsPlagueFringeSpineReally WeirdEdinburghWeird Feeling Author:Rhys Darby
