Analyzing And Rejecting Ancient Aliens In Art

The following video is derived from the work of an Italian, Diego Cuoghi, in his efforts to reject that the "UFOs" in Medieval and Byzantine works were depictions of anything more than common symbols of the period. And while it is obvious the narrarator is far from skeptical (having an apparent disdain of the pagan elements of these early christian works), his analysis remains erudite and compelling.

As Predicted, Fakes Abound In Wake Of Ghost Apps

As I cautioned last July, there were soon going to be more fake ghosts out there. I mean, aside from those we might believe to be fake, there are now many known fakes being proffered as truth.
 
From a video posted by paclives692002 on YouTube entitled "Oklahoma Ghosts (Proof? You be the judge) comes this image:

Posted by a user known only as "ruby", it's unmistakably identical: the same gingham dress, the same yoke collar, the same tassle belt hanging down low....


How do I know? Because she can be found in this app from GDE Film called "Ghost Capture". This software allows users to deposit a "ghost" into a picture taken with an iphone or similar device. It's meant to be a gag, something fun to laugh about. However, some are out there promoting these as "real".

Upcoming Conferences For October

October 8, 2011 is the Central Texas Paranormal Conference in Austin, TX

October 15, 2011 will be the Pensacola Paracon, a paranormal, horror, and SciFi convention in Pensacola, FL--I'll have to check this one out since I'll be only about 40 mins away.

October 21, 2011 the New Mexico Ghost and Folklore Expo will be held in Albuquerque--must say I like the title of that. It doesn't imply ghost busting but rather the literary and folkloric elements.

October 23, 2011 will be the 2011 ASPE Paranormal Symposium and Film Festival a bit north of there in Taos, NM.

October 28, 2011 the Canadian-American Horror Paranormal Conference will take place in Sarnia in Canada.

Bluegrass Bigfoot

The following report, from LEX18 in Lexington, KY, tracks one local man who believes these creatures have made a home in Anderson County's "Frasierland", so named for the founding family of the area that mysterious vanished. The report concludes with converage about the forthcoming Erickson Project documentary, a "million dollar" venture that has had scientists working for the past 5 years in places like Kentucky, gathering video and DNA evidence they claim will settle the argument. Of course, this is a familar refrain we've heard time and again. One wonders if the over-hyped, often evasive Erickson Project isn't something more worthy of P. T. Barnum.

Canadian Artist's Skill Exemplified In Dark Sculptures

A serpent's delicate skeleton writhes sinously from the hard wood of an axe handle; a human rib cage is squeezed from a vice-wrenched stack of books; simian skulls smile from wooden bases; and dessicated fetuses hold court from bed posts at night. This is the dark world of Canadian wood carving artist Maskull Lasserre...

The Temporal Adventures of Royal Naval Cadets

In a recent Smithsonian article online, the tale of 3 Royal naval cadets who, while on a map reading exercise, passed through the small village of Kersey in 1957 to find themselves seemingly in another time.

As one cadet put it years later: "It was a ghost village, so to speak. It was almost as if we had walked back in time… I experienced an overwhelming feeling of sadness and depression in Kersey, but also a feeling of unfriendliness and unseen watchers which sent shivers up one's back… I wondered if we'd knocked at a door to ask a question who might have answered it? It doesn't bear thinking about."

Much like the famed incident in 1901 where two well-educated British women swore to have passed through the veil of time to somehow witness a pre-revolutionary moment at Versailles.

Startling details revelaed in the boys' accounts lend credence to their claims, especially when factoring in their ages (and presumed historic ignorance) and the fact that one of the boys didn't even grow up in the area.
