Ancient Spirals
From the Aboriginal people of Australia, to the Samoans of the South Pacific to the Aztecs in Mesoamerica, nearly every culture in the world has a petroglyph or marking of spirals. Though they have a variety of meanings, they are all present.
From the Aboriginal people of Australia, to the Samoans of the South Pacific to the Aztecs in Mesoamerica, nearly every culture in the world has a petroglyph or marking of spirals. Though they have a variety of meanings, they are all present. So it was little surprise for explorers to find similar markings scrawled on the walls of a small cave along the coast of Ireland. However, upon further investigation, the markings hidden beneath the rubble of a collapsed ceremonial shrine were just a portion of a much larger symbol that had never before been seen especially coming from the Celtic culture generally known to have inhabited the area.
Pictured here is a recreation of the mark found in the Irish cave.
Typically, spiralled symbols found previously in the area are comprised of curved lines forming a triskelion. The sharply geometric spirals of this symbol are strange and out of place. They coalesce to form a graphic representation of a creature resembelling a cephalopod or perhaps the face of a long dead God. Perhaps both.
When observing the massive petroglyph witnesses reported a general unease in it's presence. Shortly after, nearly all members of the discovering party exhibited symptoms of nausea and vertigo. One member reported no effects at the time but was noted to have been particularly enthrawled. Later that evening he was discovered nude, kneeling in front of the image, knees bloodied from the sharp debris of the shrine staring vacantly at the central spiral. Friends of the man claim that he no longer seems to be the man who entered the cave.
Though no additional ill effects of the incident have been reported, the other expedition members refuse to return to the site.

Subject: Unknown Deity; Likely Cthulhu
Age: Unknown
Materials: Unknown
Discovered: Indianola, Texas August, 1886
Indianola is a ghost town located on Matagorda Bay in Calhoun County, Texas, United States. The community, once the county seat of Calhoun County, is a part of the Victoria, Texas, Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 1875, the city had a population of 5,000, but on September 15 of that year, a powerful hurricane struck, killing between 150 and 300 and almost entirely destroying the town. Indianola was rebuilt, only to be wiped out on August 19, 1886, by another intense hurricane, which was followed by a fire. Source:Wikipedia
Following that Hurricane, there was a lot of legend and folklore that arose pertaining to the fate of the town and whether or not the disasters were provoked or perhaps invoked as a result of conjuring or witchcraft.
This speculation was never confirmed, however, at the epicenter of the ruined area, this small idol was recovered standing atop an undisturbed altar. Carved from an unknown material resembling an exotic hard wood, the idol stands several inches tall and is incredibly light for it's appearance. This little idol certainly inspires more questions than it answers.
