Which means either she didn't notice them, or they weren't present, or they didn't seem out of the ordinary to her.<br /><br />I always worry when people look at an object and say, "Is there anything strange about this?" because, chances are, there is something strange about nearly everything in the world - hair, bone, fiber, soil, etc. Better to create an hypothesis and test for that, to either prove or disprove -- which is what I think Dr. Myster did. Her conclusion: human.<br /><br />And, yes, this episode seems to be another trying to tie together 2 things that don't go together in order to have a full hour worth of "monsters."Stephen D.

The Cradleboarding hypothesis was the first thing anyone in the realm of established mainstream forensic or medical science came up with. Did the show mention anything about the strange fibers interweaved into the bone? Or the fact that it's eye-ridges suggest it had strangely shaped eyes? Cradleboarding isn't the be-all end-all answer here. Just the "go-to" answer.<br /><br />As for the Flatwoods monster, an interesting story. How that and the "Starchild skull" relate to each other is beyond me. It sounds like a piecemeal episode.0https://www.blogger.com/profile/16178758742628349735noreply@blogger.com
