The
Files
Here are some spooky facts that make us here at RFA wonder whether the truth really is out there.....or if, as Father Jack used to say, it's all just "Gobshite".
Auchtermuchty has never featured in any episode of The X-Files
UFO enthusiasts do not flock to the town - nor do the UFOs
There are no stone circles or ley lines in the area - why not?
No aircraft, ships or other vehicles have ever disappeared in the area (unless they've been nicked)
There are no sinister gothic mansions around, staffed by one-eyed hunchbacks called Igor
People do not disappear suddenly in the middle of the High Street in broad daylight (unless they see ****** ***** coming - name deleted for legal reasons!)
Elvis has not been sighted in Auchtermuchty (nor for that matter has Salman Rushdie, though to be fair he's not dead)
The annual 'Muchty Festival is frequented by individuals wearing Fair Isle pullovers, who sway and clap in time to folk music. Scary.......
The equally annual 'Muchty Market (a small fairground) appears for only one week in the year...and then completely disappears again! Just like Brigadoon...........
There is a Tannochbrae Tearoom in the town, but we all know that Tannochbrae isn't a real place! It must therefore be a front, but for what?
Remember "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? You didn't see streets full of green pods did you, just loads of ordinary people. Go to Auchtermuchty High Street. What do you see? Pods or apparently ordinary people? We rest our case.
What is the purpose of the mysterious stone obelisk in the middle of the High Street opposite the butchers? Locals will tell you it's a War Memorial, but we've seen the film "2001: A Space Odyssey". We know what it really is...
All of which points to a massive conspiracy to cover up the truth, whatever that is. Our own intrepid investigators, Sculder & Mully, are on the case, though, and we'll let you know if anything comes to light. Meantime, if you're planning to visit the town soon, and you're reading this now, be afraid........be very afraid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and remember to pack your toothbrush. That's what your Mum would have said, isn't it?
