(late) Gifts for the Paranormal Weirdo..

About.com published a list of 10 Great Holiday gifts for the fan of the Paranormal.

Some smart, some lame. The highlights include Ghost-Hunting Equipment from the aptly named ghost-mart.com/ (WTF!), as well as a piece of Software called Paratracker - Paranormal Case Management Software. According to the vendor, it includes images, sounds, videos, even a Google Map connection for Paranormal locales. Unfortunately there is no demo version, so if anyone was thinking of buying me a present, here's your chance (and a cheap one at that).

The only book in the list is called The Mothman's Photographer II,
witch sounds like the usual exploitation follow-up to a popular subject, but after reading some reviews, I started thinking that meybe there's more to it than that.
This guy sums it up with:

The Mothman's Photographer II is a fantastically strange trip into a world without rules, where just about anything goes, and where convention is thrown out of the window. But it works - and it works very well.

Surely it will make it to my Wish List.

So for those of you who have not gone present-shopping yet, or did not get what they asked Santa, here's the list to present to your equally weird family (pictured above).

Another secret(!) report on Human-ET contact

In one of those WTF posts on UFO Digest comes the highly confidential (?) info on a meeting between aliens from the Zeta Reticuli Galaxy (pictured above on a Betty Hill sketch) and delegations from several countries. Te meeting allegedly took place on November 12th 2009, on a remote island in the Pacific, building on contacts originating in the 40’s and involving technology gifts from the aliens (What else?)

Now, I do not trust anonymous sources with huge disclosure. I mean, seriously, WTF? I do not know where to begin here.

So Instead, I will keep silent. More of the craziness, picture-free of course, on serpo.org

If any of this is proven to be true I will feel very stupid.

Letter from Nicola Tesla

To the American Red Cross, New York City.
The retrospect is glorious, the prospect inspiring: Much might be said of both. But one idea dominates my mind. This - my best, my dearest - is for your noble cause.
I have observed electrical actions, which have appeared inexplicable. Faint and uncertain though they were, they have given me a deep conviction and foreknowledge that are ere long all human beings on this globe, as one, will turn their eyes to the firmament above, with feelings of love and reverence, thrilled by the glad news: "Brethren! We have a message from another world, unknown and remote. It reads: one… two… three…"

Buried Secrets of the Pyramids (again)

Andrew Collins has a new book out, called Beneath the Pyramids. Nothing new there. He has published several books, and I have not read a single one of them. They seem interesting, but not quite enough to spend money on them. So why mention it?
Well, the interview he gave to Brent Raynes triggered my interest.

The new book is apparently about a discovery he made, along with his wife, of an underground system of caves in the Giza Plateau.
Now, how can you discover anything new on the Giza Plateau? I mean, seriously.. The most excavated part of the Planet and..
no wait. It is the most visited part of the planet. But excavations? I think the last one was around the middle of the previous century.
But still.. How come no one had found it? Or had they? The infamous watchdog of Egypt, Dr Hawass, denies the existence of caves in the Bird Tomb, as it called. But Collins has hundreds of photographs and video, and states that they went at least 100 yards in various passages before oxygen became scarce. Now it becomes interesting, right? Hawass has a reputation of trying to suppress any and all investigations leading to honest-to-god paranormal findings and ancient secrets, preferably tied to ancient astronauts, tech and gods. He is the man who stopped the investigation on the strange wooden door in the Great Pyramid back in the nineties, only to resume it in secret, as is reported here (bottom of the page).
Anyway, back to Collins, who claims that the cave complex he found could be the burial place of Hermes Trismegistus and his Emerald Tablet, the Holy Grail of Alchemists. You know, coal into gold and Immortality. (So how come Hermes died?)

I have no way of confirming or debunking any claim, but a good cave-hollow-earth-ancient secrets-paranormal-conspiracy-under-your-very-eyes story just makes my day..
