Way back in the early days of the site some 20+ years ago now, we launched the gallery ("Images") section.

At the time, it was a novel concept - there weren't many places on the Internet where it was possible to view a curated collection of images related to the unexplained.

Our original gallery used a platform called Coppermine and it proved to be quite a hit. Users could upload images and comment on them, again something that was not common at that time.

Over a couple of years the gallery really took off and attracted quite a lot of new visitors to the site.

We later opted to move from Coppermine to our own custom gallery solution which is what most users who visited it will remember.

Over time, however, as more alternative ways to share and view images online became the norm (such as Google Images and social media), our gallery became increasingly redundant.

By 2010, activity had dropped and there wasn't a lot of interest in using it to upload images.

Despite this, we decided to maintain the gallery for some time afterward and it had continued to be a feature of the site for many, many years.

By the end of 2025, though, as we approached 15 years since it was last properly active, we felt that it was time to let go.

Our thanks go out to everyone who uploaded, commented or otherwise participated in the gallery over the years, your contributions are much appreciated.

But even though the gallery is gone, the spirit of it still lives on.

Our most popular section was the Rogue's Gallery and this continues to this day over in the Community Lounge section of our Discussion Forum.

Threads where you can view and still upload your own personal photos include:

Rogue's Gallery III
Pets' Gallery
The Official Remembrance Thread

Another popular section was provided for visitors to post their own artwork, this persists as a forum section too:

The Writer's and Artist's Hangout

Also, you can find thousands of news stories and articles via our home page with videos, photos and more pertaining to a wide range of unexplained phenomena - far more than the gallery ever had.

We hope to see you there!
