    The Oakville Blobs

    The Oakville Blobs

    In 1994, blobs of jelly seemed to fall out of the sky and land on Oakville, USA. Were they a military experiement? Alien remains? Bits of jellyfish? No one knows. More importantly, was it jelly or jell-o and did it go well with ice cream? Tiernan and Athena investigate. Chief Detectives, listen to the evidence and then you decide if the Oakville blobs were something strange or very normal and we all need to give our heads a wobble.

    The Field of Forty Footsteps

    The Field of Forty Footsteps

    An old tale tells of two brothers who fought a duel on a field, now believed to be somewhere in central London. They both died and the ground remembered this tragedy by never letting grass grow on their footsteps. But is this story just a step into the imagination or is the Field of Forty Footsteps somewhere in the capital city? Tiernan and Athena investigate and then its up to you Chief Detectives to decide the case.

    Phi Pop

    Phi Pop

    Thailand has many ghosts, but few cause as much trouble as Phi Pop. This hungry ghost likes to possess people and animals, and cause a lot of trouble. But is Phi Pop really a troublestarter? Or just a traditional way to get rid of village pests? Its up to you, as our Chief Detectives to work it out, while Athena and Tiernan make sure they bring enough facts and evidence to fill up any ghoul's appetite.
