I've not searched for a prior thread for documentary films, but if there is one I suggest it get sticky status.
We have a series on our local multicultural TV station here in Australia called "As It Happened". Tonight's doco is on Tunguska. German production.
Link here: the Tunguska doco is called "Big Bang in Tunguska". Now sure if these can be viewed outside Australia. Often the productions are French, and always fascinating.
I watched one a while back on the Oak Island treasure hunt history, which is available at the megasite linked at the bottom of this post. There are regular updates on Roswell research too.
I thought it might be good to have a thread where you can share the most accessible documentary film resources on Fortean subjects to be found, and hopefully downloadable / directly playable, online. Especially given how much is free to view these days.
Here's an extensive online database of a variety of documentaries, with embeded Youtube / Vimeo / etc uploads. I've linked the page on docos focussing on 'Mystery' subjects. There's some cool stuff here.

Hmmm.
We don't appear to have a 'Fortean Documentaries'-type thread, so I'll make this it (hence the re-titling): if you come across anything appropriate that's free-to-view on the web, please post the links here (no torrents). |

Cheers, WhistlingJack.
BTW, I did a search afterwards and did locate a thread from 2004 here. Interesting how much more exponentially there is available now than there was then. I love Internet 2. |

A Youtube documentary channel with edge. Not a lot of Fortean in there, but something for everyone. |

| Although those really looking can see Richard Freeman on their documentary about the Olympics (he's talking about the terror in the river Lea) |

| I found this after I did my posting on C4's Alien Investigations which is on the Ufology page. Should have gone here. |

| Ufo the untold stories on National Geographic, old fashioned style programme style and mercifully European only sightings. Definitely a cut above. |

I've now watched it. Yes, very thought provoking. The music quietly emphasises the sense of mystery (we really know sweet FA about a lot of this stuff!) without being overpowering.
But I'd not heard of Ballowall Barrow in Cornwall before, so my next project is to visit there. It's near St Just, not Lands End. I think my legs may last the walk there - if I expire there, it seems a good place to be buried!
EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballowall_Barrow
EDIT2: Since the video dates from 2007, there's no mention of the Ness of Brodgar in Orkney:

Good luck on your visit. Hopefully your legs will hold up and Ballowall Barrow
won't be your final resting place quite yet!  |
