Why I'm hacked off at the History Channel.

[StClone]

31. THC Shows I watch weekly are "Oak Island" and "Skinwalker Ranch"

Oak Island stretches a two-hour documentary into ten years of Ahab chasing the White Whale. It is addicting to watch the subtle schizophrenic ride of two deluded brothers in search of the unknown. They are on a monomaniacal "island of insanity." BUT! What they have found is so crazy as to make historians begin to take what they have uncovered to question North American Anthropology!

My Mother "dreamt" aliens landed on our street when I was seven. She later swore it wasn't a dream. My Mom had 13 children, ran our family business, was widely admired, a pillar of the community and church. She was never hyperbolic, a highly intelligent voracious reader, and lived to 97 and was sharp as a tack until pneumonia took her. She and my younger brother chased odd lights across the countryside in the 70s. Don't know what it was they were seeing. My oldest Sister with a carload of friends traveling late at night saw "a burning barn" float over them and then shoot away. Exposed to this I became fascinated with the UFO subject from then on. So it is only natural that "Skinwalker" draws me.

Otherwise "the History Channel" is anything but a network providing great lessons in real history. That's a shame!
