The Unexplained Odon Fire Poltergeist

At his farm near Odon, Indiana, William Hackler finished having breakfast with his family and left the house. On his way to the barn, he smelled smoke. When he hurriedly returned to the house, he discovered a fire in the upstairs bedroom wall (note the house had no electricity).

The local volunteer fire department was called in and the blaze quickly extinguished. However, that was only the start of the Hackler family’s day long ordeal. After the truck left, another fire broke out, this time in a mattress in an upstairs guest room. It seemed as though the fire had been set from inside the mattress! Throughout the day, more fires broke out all over the house, some under the gazes of astonished witnesses.

By 2:00 p.m., more fire fighters were called in, and by the end of the day, twenty-eight seemingly spontaneous fires were extinguished, including one that started between the covers of a book. The fires ended as mysteriously as they began. Hackler tore down the house and built a new one from the reclaimed lumber. Neither he nor his family experienced anything like the Odon fire poltergeist again.

Pamplona’s Running Of The Bulls Festival Is Usually A Lot Of Fun. Except When This Happens. OUCH…

The Running of the Bulls festival in northern Spanish city of Pamplona is as fun for the participants as it is controversial. And I guess the beginning of this year’s festival will provide plenty of fuel for both camps.

The thrill seeking supporters will love it even more, for it furnishes further proof that the danger is real. Their opponents, on the other hand, will feel even more justified in their demands to shut the whole thing down.

So what happened? Well, a properly enraged bull charged at a man, pushed him on the ground and attacked him with its horns as he lay there, surrounded by terrified onlookers, some of whom, as you will see in the images below, couldn’t stand the sight and turned away.

The bull proceeded to butt the buttocks of the prostrate man, before savagely goring his hapless victim. Onlookers braved the wrath of the enraged beast in an attempt to pull the wounded man away. Unfortunately, no information has been released as to the state of the victim. I hope he makes a full recovery.

And here are the videos:

Could this be an image of the Loch Ness monster?

A photographer has captured an image of what she believes to be a creature from the deep.

Ellie Williams took the shots while taking pictures in the Lake District of Windermere, which is located 241km from Scotland’s Loch Ness area. 

Loch Ness is best known for alleged sightings of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie". 

It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its description varies from one account to the next. 

Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence has varied since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings, according to Wikipedia. 

The most common speculation among believers is that the creature represents a line of long-surviving plesiosaurs but the scientific community regards the Loch Ness Monster as a modern-day myth, 

The pictures were taken when the photographer left her camera on automatic mode for a full day, reports The Mirror.

And the 24-year-old discovered the amazing image when she reviewed the shots, which were supposed to be of the colours of the changing seasons.

The Loch Ness monster is found in England.

Ellie, from London, said: “When I set up at Lake Windermere it was business as usual to take some lovely photos of the wildlife around the lake.

"When I reviewed all the images I thought it might have been a swan or a goose, as I was looking at the image on my smartphone.

“I’m open to suggestions as to what the creature could be – I’m just glad I put the camera in the right place at the right time.”

According to the Mirror, this is not the first time an underwater beast has been spotted in the Lake District.

There have been several sightings of a monster, dubbed Bownessie, in Windermere before.

The first sighting was in 2006 and since then the Lake District lizard, described as a snake-like beast with humps, has appeared several more times.

A Mother Was Filming Her Child When A Tiny Creature Was Caught on Camera!

Those friendly seven dwarfs are the main attraction of Snow White story that ends well. We do believe dwarfs are the end product of writer’s imagination. But not in this video, it shows a dwarf running fast to avoid detection from anyone in the room.

The actual video was recorded on January 2011 in Santa Fe, Argentina. The video was captured by a certain Silvia who was filming his son’s activity.

According to Sylvia, her son Benjamin, was playing and talking with someone in the hallway. The family notice this many times the strange behavior of their child, and filming his activity out of curiosity. Then, suddenly at the back of the child, a ‘little thing’ keep running out fast to avoid detection from Sylvia, or maybe a playful dwarf started to tease the camera but was unexpectedly captured on film.

MISSILE OR ROCKET ON APOLLO PHOTOGRAPH?

Interesting anomaly caught on an Apollo 11 mission photograph. Object resembles a missile or possibly a rocket of some kind. You can clearly see a vapor trail emanating from the back of the object, not something you would normally see from an extraterrestrial ship. So, if it is indeed an object, and not just an image defect or processing error, i would suggest a more earthly explanation for its origin. Check video description for NASA image link.

STRANGE GLOWING FIGURE SITTING ON BENCH

Lisa Osborne took this picture, read what she said:

"My husband and I took this picture about two months ago, however we just came across it about a week ago while going through the pics on his phone.

When he first looked at it he kept thinking I had done something to the picture but I did nothing to it, then he was saying it must of been a reflection.

I dont think that he wanted to actually believe that it was what it looks like. As soon as I seen it the first thing that came to my mind was that it was a spirit or something of that nature.

Everyone else that we have showed it to says the same thing that I do. This is where we go to take our daughter to feed the ducks in town!

There was NOT anybody sitting on the bench nor anyone else around us when we were there that night!

I’m not sure if you are able to tell me exactly what it is or not but if you are it would be great!"

Military Eyewitness Captures 'Transparent UFO' On Night Vision

A "low, slow, silent, see-through triangle" was videotaped in the sky above Leland, North Carolina, on the night of May 13, 2014.

The man who taped the event -- an alleged military combat instructor who prefers to remain anonymous -- reported it in August to MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, where it's listed as case #58923 and is still under investigation.

Here is part of the witness description as reported to MUFON:

I was looking through [night vision] goggles and noticed a 'plane' coming toward me from the north, heading south. It was relatively low, 5,000 feet or a little less. I'm pretty good at estimating distances, I'm an experienced skydiver and long-distance shooter. I thought it was a little weird that I wasn't hearing it coming toward me, so I started recording on the PVS-14 [night vision monocular].

As I'm watching it, I notice that as it's passing stars, I could see stars through the craft! I saw stars through the 'fuselage' of the craft! Later, I confirmed this when I reviewed the video.

Watch the object in night vision here. The witness description continues below.

The craft was in the shape of a triangle. There were two lights at the rear of the vehicle, circular, with a blinking light, also circular, almost between them, just a little above the two rear lights. The light in front was shaped like a triangle itself, with a small, round light right behind it. So all together: five lights. This thing was low and slow and silent!!

The last weird thing that I noticed was that, when I took the goggles down for a second to get a bearing as to where it was in the sky, I couldn't see any of the lights, not the fixed lights, not the single blinking light. I couldn't see it without night vision goggles.

So, what, exactly, are we to make of all of this?

The Forgotten Stones of Aswan Quarry, Egypt

The unfinished obelisk in Aswan, Egypt, is estimated to be around 1168 tons, but the largest Obelisk that was actually erected in Egypt was no more that 500 tons. I visited the immense unfinished Obelisk first in 2010, and was immediately bemused by its gigantic size. The night before, I had visited Luxor Temple and was stunned into silence by the artificially lit Obelisk that sits alone at the entrance to the temple, trying to comprehend how on earth such a thing could exist (it’s twin was shipped to Paris - quite a feat in itself). It just looked so ‘alien’ and surprisingly ‘modern’, as though it was somehow designed on a computer. It is also much smaller than the unfinished Obelisk in the quarry.

Obelisk by Night at Luxor Temple There are several quarries in Egypt, but the preferred granite source came from the Aswan area. One of the earliest known directors of the Aswan quarry was employed by Ramses III, named Hori around 1170 BC (1). Much of the red, grey, and black granite used in the pyramids and Valley Temple on the Giza plateau was taken from here, and was utilized long before Ramses III. The stone from this quarry was transformed into the casing stones of Khafre and Menkaure’s pyramids, the 70 ton lintels above the Kings Chamber, and numerous sarcophagi, columns, and megalithic blocks on the plateau and beyond. The casing stones on Menkaure’s pyramid have caused some controversy. Robert Temple and his colleagues concluded, by using a technique called optical thermoluminescence, that the casing stones were dated between 3590 – 2640 BC, much earlier than Menkaure, and possibly confirming that the pyramids were built several hundred years before King Menes, the first Pharaoh, circa 3100 BC (2). This also dates the quarry at Aswan much earlier than previously thought, as that’s where the stone came from. 

Other notable monuments that were quarried at Aswan include the sarcophagus made from granite at the burial chambers of Djoser and Sneferu at Saqqara, the Osirion at Abydos, and Cleopatra’s Needle that was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis on the orders of Thutmose III, around 1450 BC (1).

Menkaure's Pyramid Casing Stones at Giza

The big question is always this: How did they do it? There are diorite pounding stones placed all around the site to demonstrate the way in which they must have quarried the granite. Diorite is only slightly harder than granite. Several engineers, and Egyptologist Mark Lehner, tried pounding the granite with diorite balls to see how long it would take. Estimates went up to around 8 months to release the Obelisk from the bedrock. (3) Engineer Christopher Dunn calculated that it would have probably taken much longer to complete such a task, and almost impossible in the cramped conditions that the workers would have had to suffer. Then, of course, it has to be removed, erected, and transported to the final destination. There are many other Obelisks all over Egypt, and now in other countries, and their function and purpose is still a mystery, but at least we know where they came from. Even level-headed engineers speculate that advanced machinery was used, as evidence can still be seen at the site. Other researchers theorise that sound or some kind of sonic technology was used to quarry, cut, and levitate these stones, or did they literally have stone-cutting machines, as Chris Dunn speculates?

The strange 'scoops' on the Unfinished Obelisk

The strange tool marks on much of the stone in the quarry looks like ‘scoops’ of some sort. It’s a style that does not match the diorite pounding balls. Chris Dunn suggested that this was done by some kind of machine that he describes as a massive belt sander, attached to some kind of JCB or excavator. There are many theories as to how they did it, but all we are left with are diorite balls, bronze chisel, stone implements, and a mystery that is yet to be solved. Marcus Allen, Editor of Nexus Magazine (UK) lectures on the sophisticated technology of the ancient Egyptians, and believes the diorite balls may have had another purpose. He told me they could have been used to roll the big stones on, as they are tougher than granite and could evenly distribute the great weight of such blocks over short distances (such as a nearby boat on the Nile River bank).

Figure 5 - Diorite Balls, said to be used on the Granite

This gigantic Obelisk is said to have been abandoned due to a crack that appeared on its surface. Chris Dunn raised the question as to why none of it was ever again quarried or used in future projects, as it is a very useful and perfectly ‘prepared’ chunk of megalithic rock. Also, some time after it was originally abandoned, drill-holes were made in the top surface where perhaps a smaller obelisk was being marked out. This outline also went through the ‘crack’ which archaeologists say was the reason it was never originally completed. But then why would they start cutting out another smaller obelisk if there was a crack in it? Chris Dunn, in his book Advanced Technology in Ancient Egypt suggests the crack happened much later, and that the monolith was left there long ‘before’ the crack ever happened, as though it was abandoned. Furthermore, the rites and ceremonies of the ancient Egyptians hint that Obelisks were imbued with some special power, or spirit, so maybe that prevented them from ever being able to use that particular piece of granite again, suggesting, because it has been ‘charged’ and imbued with power, it had to stay there and remain untouched. Perhaps someone forgot that (maybe the Romans) when they started marking out the smaller Obelisk.

Close-up of holes and cuts on the top surface of the Obelisk

All over Egypt there is evidence of sophisticated technology, which Chris Dunn has become the leading expert on, but a century earlier similar observations were made by a British archaeologist. “It will probably surprise many people to know that evidence proving that the ancient Egyptians used tool such as straight saws, circular saws, and even lathes has been recognized for over a century.” (4) This comment from Dunn was talking mainly about Flinders Petrie, who was the first to note that some kind of machining took place in Egypt. Petrie worked in Egypt from 1880 for around 40 years. He credited them with methods that "we are only now coming to understand”. Machining technology was in its infancy in the early 1900’s, and it is only in recent decades that modern-looking machine tool marks have been fully recognized. As our technology gets more sophisticated, we then start to see evidence of that in the stonework of Egypt. Therefore, it could simply be that our current technology is simply not as advanced as that of the ancient Egyptians. In the years to come, as our technology advances, we may start recognizing how they did it. However, when gazing at the 2.5 million blocks that make up the Great Pyramid, the mighty Obelisks, and the precision engineering throughout this incredible country, perhaps that may take some time.

Referring back to a quote by the late Klaus Schmidt in my previous article on Gobekli Tepe, he stated: ”In ancient Egypt, the dragging and erecting of holy pillars was an important part of ritual events.” (5). He also went on to say that there might be some kind of common origin, as the obelisks of ancient Egypt usually come in pairs in front of temples. So, where is the other mega-Obelisk? There are suggestions that it was intended to complement an Obelisk that was originally at Karnak and is now outside the Lateran Palace in Rome.(5) Others suggest the pharaoh Hatshepsut ordered it to be built to celebrate her sixteenth year in power (6). However, neither of these match the immensity of this mighty sleeping giant at Aswan.

There is another theory that sounds more likely. Perhaps a single Obelisk, that was so important it had to be that size, was in the process of being created. It’s location is interesting as it is in the correct area to mark the lower boundary of Egypt, and acts as a geodetic and astronomical marker that was part of a great survey of not only Egypt, but of the circumference of the Earth. In 236 BC Eratosthenes of Alexandria was appointed Director of the Great Library at Alexandria. Not only was he a pioneer in prime number mathematics, he also calculated the meridian circumference of the Earth. He realised that by placing an Obelisk at the latitude of Aswan (then called Syene), and another at Alexandria, the difference in shadows, compared to the lengths of the Obelisks would reveal the distance between these two sites (see image and further detailed text below). At Aswan, the Obelisk casts no shadow on the Summer Solstice, so the latitude of this area was an ideal spot to work out these calculations. Syene also marked the lower boundary of ancient Egypt, so I propose that the unfinished Obelisk would have been erected very near to it’s quarry location and served two purposes – one to mark the boundary, and another to be used to calculate the meridian circumference of the planet. There may be some more esoteric reasons too, but they are beyond the scope of this article.

From 'Earth Grids' by Hugh Newman (Wooden Books 2008)
Eratosthenes' [276-195 BC] experiment to measure the size of the Earth. He calculated the polar circumference to within 180 miles by noting the angle of a midday midsummer shadow in Alexandria. He knew that at Syene, 500 miles to the south, the midday midsummer Sun cast no shadow. The angle of the shadow at Alexandria was roughly 7 degrees, or one-fiftieth of 360, so 50x500 miles gave him 25,000 miles as the circumference (24,821 miles is the modern measurement).

I took this a step further. When I was researching the geodetic connection between the unfinished Obelisk and the Great Pyramid at Giza, I found an interesting connection. The distance between the Great Pyramid and the unfinished Obelisk is exactly 365.4 Nautical Miles - also the number of days in a solar year. A Nautical Mile is an exact sub-division of the 360 degree circle of the Earth, and was used by ancient cultures in the surveying and placement of sites (It is still used in navigation and aviation today). Geodetic measurements were observed in Egypt well before the Greeks. For example, in the first century AD, Strabo the Geographer stated that “the science of land-measuring originated along the Nile in Egypt” (Book XVII)(7).  Estimates of the original length of the base perimeter of the Great Pyramid is recorded at 3,041.28 feet, a figure very close to half a nautical mile (8), showing that understood and worked with this ancient canon, whether it was within structures, or the geodetic relationship between the sites over vast distances. More work is to be done on this, but this could be a tantalizing glimpse in to the mindset of the ancient Egyptians, and why they placed their sites in accordance with where the stone originated from – the birthplace of the temple - the megalithic quarry.

Highest Ranking NSA Whistle-Blower Of All Time Addresses The UFO Question – See What He Had To Say

Just as Edward Snowden made huge headlines (and still is) all over the world, William Binney did the same in 2001 when he resigned from the National Security Agency (NSA) after 9/11 and blew the lid on an NSA mass surveillance program.

He worked for the agency for more than thirty years, and was the leading code-breaker against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He’s had quite the run, starting in 2002 when he let the public know of a system ( ‘trailblazer’) intended to analyze data carried on communication networks (like the internet). He exposed the agencies eavesdropping program and has faced harassment from the FBI, NSA and more. He has been in and out of the court room ever since he decided to resign and blow the whistle.

Here is a quick Wiki write up about him, a simple Google search will confirm who he is for those who have never heard of him.

Binney was recently interviewed on 9/11 Free Fall Radio, where he said:

“We selectively ignore basic facts. What I mean by a basic fact is something that’s just there that needs to be addressed, even if they can’t explain it they should have said “we can’t explain this but it’s there” so they at least recognize that this basic fact existed. My problem is, just like the UFO thing, unless they start addressing these kinds of things, peoples observations or basic measurements or factual evidence that simply exists, unless they start addressing them there’s always  going to be questions, especially now with the government, how much trust do you have with this government? They’ve been spying, putting whistle blowers in jail, torturing, and giving immunity to people who commit these kinds of crimes, how much trust can you put in a government like that? When you selectively ignore these kinds of things…..”

It’s great to hear someone who had such a long career with the NSA mention UFOs (although many high ranking defence personnel have made remarkable statements), and the importance of governments addressing the phenomenon that is flooded with “people’s observations” and “factual evidence.” Clearly, Binney is aware of the phenomenon and the seriousness of the issue.

UFOs and extraterrestrial life is one of the most popular questions of our time. In the United States alone, at least half of all Americans say that we’re not alone in the universe. Fifty percent of Americans already believe that there is some form of life on other planets, while only seventeen percent think that there isn’t. A quarter of Americans believe that intelligent extraterrestrial visitors have already come to Earth and have been doing so for a long time.(source)

Will North American Governments Ever Properly Address The UFO Phenomenon?

Binney brings up a great point, and for him to put UFOs and  “factual evidence” in the same category was great and very brave of him.

The NSA (for example) has released files that clearly indicate their interest in the UFO phenomenon, HERE is one example, and HERE is another, documenting in detail an encounter military jets had with a UFO when they were ordered to go take a look at them. (common phenomenon). 

I still wouldn’t call releasing these files properly addressing the questions and concerns of the people. Dozens of other governments around the world have released thousands of previously classified UFO documentation, yet important questions still remain that they have not addressed. To see an example from the UK, click HERE.

The release of these files indicate that governments and defense agencies have documented studies and allocated resources to studying the UFO phenomenon, and have kept the fact that they are doing so a secret for avery long time. You can be sure that a lot of information on the subject probably still remains heavily classified. They are holding all of this information, and have gathered so much of it yet we don’t have any access to it.

It’s not a secret that governments keep secrets, the United States alone classifies approximately 500 million pages of documents every year, and the release of previously classified information is a great example of that.

So will North American governments ever properly address the UFO phenomenon? I don’t know, but the information is leaking out there regardless. Again, they’ve been studying and gathering information on this phenomenon for decades, and they have access to information and data that we don’t, and that’s not fair.

Here’s something to think about:

“If you have a big secret, that you want the world to know about, you may not want to throw it out there all at once. In other words, there may be some kind of slow acculturation process, I think there is probably something like that going on. I think there is a lot of disinformation going on as well.” –Richard Dolan, Author, Historian 

“I don’t believe we will ever truly be ready for disclosure, but that will never stop it from happening. Who’s ever ready to have their first child? Nobody, they have it anyway. It will be forced upon the political leaders and it will be a big mess. Anytime you have some sort of growth, whether it’s personal spiritual growth, or political growth in this society, that means you shed illusions, you shed lies, and that’s a difficult prices, and we have to go through that process. There are many billions of people on this world who are attached to a certain paradigm, a certain way of picturing the world, and disclosure will just shatter that. So it will be difficult, but the alternative is being spoon fed lies the rest of your life.” Richard Dolan (same source as above quote)

From everything I’ve looked into, there are some within the world of secrecy that want the truth to come out, and others who want it to remain.

“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time. That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view. That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon”  - Dr. Brian O’leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor

“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help. Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after. Trillions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have deliberately been kept in the dark.”- Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defense Minister 

Whether our governments agree to properly address the issue and share with us the information they’ve accumulated over the years or not, the answers will come in the form of whistleblowers, leaked documents (like wikileaks) or something else.

So what do you think?

Sex pest ghost nearly ended their marriage

In the 1990 film Ghost, Patrick Swayze wants to get his hands on former love Demi Moore.

In a modern-day home in South Yorkshire, a sexed-up spectre known as ‘Mark’ wants to get his hands on Deborah Rawson.

Mrs Rawson, 48, and her husband Kevin had happily lived together in their home in Hull for more than 20 years until Mark threatened to destroy their marriage.

She said she first encountered the perverted apparition after finishing the housework one day, describing Mark to be ‘a good-looking bloke in his 30s, in black trousers and a white shirt.’

Mr Rawson found his wife shaking outside the house hours after her ordeal. The visitations continued and increased in their sexual intensity.

Mrs Rawson explained: ‘He would pull at my dress and one time it felt as if he had pinned me down on the sofa.

‘Another night, as I was falling to sleep, the duvet flew off and I felt Mark’s hand on my thigh.’

Her husband witnessed none of these creepy night-time visits and it led to the couple sleeping in different rooms and then downstairs.

The couple had asked a Catholic priest for an exorcism and a local psychic to help them out before they moved into rented accommodation.

Did Google Street View photograph a ghost in this historic home?

Not only is Google Street View really great at snapping blurry pictures of you taking out the garbage in your sweatpants, now it's a bonafide, spook-sleuthing ghost hunter. Not even spirits are safe from all the street peeping.

In June 2012, the Google Street View car was creeping Mansfield, Ohio, doing its whole spy thing, when it captured what looks a lot like a scary ghost lady (yes that's the technical term) peering out from an attic floor window. Turns out the house in question has long historical connections to the local abandoned prison. THE PLOT THICKENS!

DESCEND INTO HELL

Memo: if you’re going to hang around an exploding volcano, be sure to dress appropriately for the occasion. Explorer, documentary maker, and fearless adventurer, George Kourounis, took on the Marum crater in the archipelago of the South Pacific’s Vanuatu, filming the dramatic happenings of an inferno lava lake and getting, in his own words, ‘a window into hell’.

‘Getting to [Marum] was kind of like a reverse climbing of Everest. The volcano fought back at us, and we had to deal with terrible weather, tremendous heat from the lava, descending and ascending 400 meters of near vertical, loose rock face, acid rain so strong that it could have come from a car battery, and a variety of other craziness’.

The footage is quite astounding.
