Paranormal News for January 8, 2008

Consider what happens, mentally, when you buy a new car. You pick out this unique model with brilliant colors and feel there is something really special about it. In fact, you picked it out precisely because it was special. After signing some contract for payment, you leave the dealership and are driving down the highway, a flurry of other cars whip by you, but the ones that you notice are now the exact car and model that you just bought!

Is it possible that a Bigfoot or related hominoid was found many years ago and remains hidden away from the public? Cryptomundo.com reported that near the end of the overnight appearance of Jeff Meldrum’s and John Bindernagel’s discussion of Bigfoot on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory, September 21-22, 2006, an American, who claimed to be living in the Ukraine, telephoned into the talk-radio program. The credible-sounding individual had an intriguing account…

Which is more likely, traversing the vast stellar distances between stars hoping for a ‘hit” or, navigating the ocean floor? The classic alleged phantasm or sentient humanoid irritatingly nicknamed The Grey, has always been an object of speculation in terms of sensate anatomy inasmuch as hearing or receiving sound in an atmosphere would require some sort of ear.

Yet, they are absent, or are they?…
Mystery astronaut carving in ancient temples in Salamanca, SpainRelax: no one is reading your mind
At first, scientists from Harvard, a college in Massachusetts, were trying to randomize a medical study so God wouldn’t know. Now a group of venerable academic psychologists under Dr. Stephen Kosslyn from the same institution reports developing a methodology to study extrasensory perception (ESP), and obtaining the “strongest evidence” yet against the existence of ESP…

Insect attack may have finished off dinosaurs
Asteroid impacts or massive volcanic flows might have occurred around the time dinosaurs became extinct, but a new book argues that the mightiest creatures the world has ever known may have been brought down by a tiny, much less dramatic force – biting, disease-carrying insects…

Driving north from the tourist beaches on U.S. 60, the streetscape turns suburban. Houses keep the ocean out of view. On the higher ground to the left, you come to a starkly modern building that could pass for a university research library. It’s all the world headquarters and offshoots of Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research and Enlightenment, and whether you spend a few minutes or days here hinges on your view of Cayce…
Kucinich’s UFO sighting: What he really saw
Dennis Kucinich has taken a lot of flak for saying that he once saw an unidentified flying object near Shirley MacLaine’s house back in 1982. The Wall Street Journal just did a front-page story on it, adding to the Kucinich-as-silly-person storyline. But what if he really did see something—just not an alien spaceship?..
David Kingston: I have been researching the Crop Circle phenomena since I saw my first one in 1976. I had been on a “night watch” for UFO’s on Clay Hill in Warminster. Three separate orbs of approximately six feet in diameter of coloured light had been weaving around and above us for some three hours on the top of Clay Hill, merging at times into a single globe and then separating again above us, suddenly one of the orbs descended to some thirty feet above us and then flew down into a field at the base of Clay Hill…
A picture taken by a 12-year-old Kirkland girl during the holiday week in December surprised her family by capturing a mysterious object…
The Center for Bigfoot Studies, like the creature itself, is not easy to find. It hides amid the forest of homes on a quiet Riverside street. No signs or monster-size tracks point the way, but those in the know can pin it down to an upper floor of one unassuming house. There, jammed inside a few small rooms, is one of the nation’s largest repositories of Bigfoot lore…
The conversation recorded in the YouTube video referenced in the story below is in a Brazilian Portuguese dialect, probably from the southeastern state of Minas Gerais. The taping is being done by an adult. The children shout about a UFO, and then there is a question about whether or not the object is a hot air balloon…
Year of the Yeti begins now!
This Friday will be the official launch of the new publication of the reasonably-priced hardback edition of Ivan T. Sanderson’s classic book, Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life, from Cosimo Classics. This new printing contains a new preface I’ve written, and I will have a few copies, hot off the press, literally, for sale at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City…

Happy New Year one and all and while our thoughts turn to the potential the next year will have (those of us not lying on the couch feeling sorry for themselves after over indulging last night, best not to mention piercing headaches!!) but to round things off nicely we’ll look back on the stories we blogged up last year, which, we hope, have gone some way to reflecting the interesting stories of the year, as well as our own peculiar obsessions…
Bigfoot, you’re invited to breakfast
A few years before the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington, I worked on a timber-cruising crew near that mountain. We stayed in a barn-like lodge and ate at a nearby diner. During breakfast one morning, Harry R. Truman, who owned Harmony Falls Lodge on Spirit Lake, came in. He was wearing an ancient raincoat and the same wrinkled cap he wore years later when he told a cameraman, a helicopter pilot and the world that he’d never leave his mountain. Days later, it blew…Mystery space machines – part 3Truth is stranger than science fiction

An open response on the “MiniBox”

 

Content from external source:

Rick Moran: By way of introduction, my name is Rick Moran and I am the Coordinator of the Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomenon, a 35 year old research and educational organization that by our own corporate charter is dedicated to seeking proof of the survival of the human spirit after death. We are a 501 ©(3) non-profit corporation that is now based in Texas, and was originally founded in New York City. We have been involved in dozens of major cases, from Amityville and Mothman to our present day work on cases like the Skinwalker Ranch, not to mention a few hundred more that never got any media coverage. In the past I have counted folks like Scott Rogo, Peter Jordan and Paul Hoffman old friends. I continue to write for Fortean Times, Fate, and yes, Haunted Times on a regular basis. I am pleased to say that the ASUP is a very serious group with serious aims. Two years ago a member of our group came to me with a report he prepared on ITC or more commonly known as Spirit Comm. I was intrigued and began to look a little deeper, which led me to the work of Frank Sumption and his creation, Frank’s Box. I reached out to friends in our field for the purpose of securing a Box for testing and then I waited and waited. Finally I found the flow chart for Frank’s Box on the Internet. I have been a ham radio operator for longer than I have been researching the paranormal, so the layout was easy to interpret. Later I came into the possession of a schematic diagram, courtesy of Frank Sumption and became even more intrigued but still even more puzzled about how this device could possibly communicate.

Paranormal researchers create new device

Content from external source:

The Association for the Study of Unexplained Phenomenon (ASUP, Inc) a non-profit research and educational corporation dealing with the paranormal and dedicated to the study of theories concerning the survival of the human consciousness after death, has announced today that their research and development staff has completed work on a prototype device similar to what is commonly called FRANK’s BOX, after its original inventor, Frank Sumption, that has been claimed to be a working, “telephone to the dead.” The ASUP began fabricating their device after they learned that the original “box” would not be made available for serious research by groups like their own.Almost a year in the making, the R&D team at ASUP now say that their box outperforms the original devices; preliminary testing suggests that the new box does appear to create coherent words and phrases, in fact team engineer Ron Ricketts has reported that while still working on the device on a work bench with the system running, the speaker said his own name very clearly on three separate occasions. The group however is making no advanced claims for what they now call the Mini Box, except to say they will begin field testing of the unit and that it will be made available to anyone seriously interested in studying it.

The Mini Box has a U.S. patent pending.The ASUP’s Director of Operations, April Slaughter has explained that the group is not in the business of selling technology, but that the Mini Box will be made available to anyone interested by the first of the year, through a separate company that specializes in high tech gear for paranormal investigators. She indicated that the units will be sold at as close to the cost of manufacturing them as possible.Slaughter will be introducing the box at this year’s TAPS outing to the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado on the weekend of November 16th, where she will allow investigators to use a prototype unit. She again cautioned that the ASUP is making no wild claims about the device, except to say that it functions perfectly and that they have had great results from limited testing in the lab.Anyone wishing to learn more about the Mini Box may contact ASUP Coordinator, Rick Moran, who will be more than happy to set up interviews to discuss the device for interested media. Mr. Moran can be reached toll free at 866-396-9132 or via e-mail at rick-moran@asup-inc.org.

Ghost hunter claims ‘walkie-talkie’ allows communication with dead

By Joe Hadsall
THE JOPLIN GLOBE (JOPLIN, Mo.)
JOPLIN, Mo. Students from Missouri Southern State University crowded around the dining room table at the Prosperity School Bed and Breakfast, as if they were gathering for a seance.

The only sound in the room came from a small box held by a man dressed in black and seated at the head of the table. With his long, red hair tied into a ponytail, he fiddled with a blue metal box, about the size of a cigar box, with a yellow wire hanging from the top.

The box spat out static and other unintelligible noises. But the man in black talked to it. He sounded frustrated, as if he were talking on a cell phone getting bad reception.

“He wants to go outside,” he said.

The sound of people getting up from heavy, wooden chairs filled the room, but not enough to silence the static pops coming from the box. The man in black and the students filed out of the dining room and walked toward the front stoop.

He sat down on the steps, illuminated by the inside lights of the former school and by an almost-full moon. The students crowded around him, taking pictures and listening intently for a message in the static.

“Are you there?” the man asked into the box. “Where are you?”

As if in response, a sharp sound came from the box and sent chills down the spines of the crowd.

“Right,” said a girl’s voice.

“To my right?” the man asked. “Who is this?”

“I’m saying my prayers,” came the voice from the box in scrambled static.

“What’s your name, sweetheart?” the man asked.

Static. Silence. Then, “Sadie.”

The ghosts in our machines

As we know, our increasingly ubiquitous media and technology has some drawbacks. If we don’t resist, we can become overwhelmed by trivial exchanges and mediocre infotainment. It sometimes seems as if our devices have a life of their own. Luckily, we still have the option to turn them off when we choose, ignoring their imploring beeps and round-the-clock news updates. We can take a break from our virtual worlds to exchange information through more tangible channels. But what if our technology could be used for a different form of communion altogether? What if we could hijack our gadgets for a profound purpose never intended, not even imagined, by their inventors? Since the early days of the phonograph, telephone and camera, there have been reports of unexplained phenomena associated with our communications devices. German physics professor Ernst Senkowski coined the term “instrumental transcommunication” (ITC), to refer to the use of modern technical devices such as audio recorders, radios, and televisions to communicate with realms outside of our known physical realm. Unknown to most, a huge body of experimentation and scientific study has taken place in this area.ITC is best known in its most basic form, electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) – when voices of unknown origin, generally uttering short, faint phrases, speak on audio recordings. EVP appeared occasionally on early phonograph recordings but became more widely known after showing up on personal tape recorders in the 50s and 60s. In the 60s and 70s, it became popular in Europe to capture EVP voices on home tape recorders.

Samples can be found all over the web, and EVP is often employed for a plot twist on ghost-hunting TV shows.The levels which ITC has reached, far beyond EVP, are, surprisingly, little known. There is a large body of clear, well documented, scientifically observed audio, video and text transmissions from beyond that have been received through telephones, radios, televisions, computers, fax machines, and a custom-built device called the Spiricom.

The Most Horrific EVP Ever Recorded

I found this one today while I made the rounds, and it looks promising folks. Here’s the teaser:

IN JANUARY, 2007, the Central New York Ghost Hunters (CNYGH), based in Syracuse, New York, were invited to investigate an old hotel in upstate New York. (The owners of the hotel have asked to keep its location confidential.) The investigation proved to be one of the most intensely active the group has ever encountered, and produced an EVP – an electronic voice phenomena recording – that is remarkable not only for its length, but also for its terrifying content.It may well be the most intense, frightening EVP ever recorded.

You can listen to the recording here, and peruse the article while you listen, as it is rather lengthy. You can also find the listen link at the bottom of the full article.
