BIGFOOT, IS THAT YOU ?: POSSIBLE HOMINOID – MCKENZIE RIVER, CENTRAL OREGON
loading...
According to the BFRO, a dark, long-armed figure stood up and walked away from the edge of the river as the two whitewater row boats passed by. The location of the incident, and the physical appearance of the figure, and the behavior of the figure are consistent with a sasquatch. Nothing about the figure, or the incident in general, points to a hoax or a case of mistaken identity.
The Three Sisters region of Oregon has a long history of sightings and track finds.
At first glance the figure appears to be a bit larger than the human in the rowboat, and the figure is certainly not closer to the camera than the rowboat.
The behavior of the figure is consistent with a sasquatch. Sasquatches are often spotted near creeks and rivers.

THE VILLAGE THAT VANISHED
loading...
If an explanation of mass disappearance isn’t quite your cup of tea, the legend of Hoer Verde, the town with 600 inhabitants that vanished will certainly be confusing and troubling enough to cause you to ask questions about how anything like it could ever happen with absolutely no evidence to suggest anything unusual had happened. Like so many legends from the area, information on Hoer Verde is difficult to track down. But what information is accessible is not only disturbing, but incredibly perplexing.
As visitors to the village entered the small town they were immediately struck by how dead everything was. Unlike other villages of six hundred no one was walking through the streets. Hanging signs waved in the gentle wind creaked noisily juxtaposed with the uneasy footsteps and uneasy and subdued whispers of those passing through. As they passed by local houses and looked in the windows it was evident immediately that something wasn’t right. No one was anywhere to be seen.
The police were called, and investigators descended on the town to look through the village. As they came to the town’s school they found a gun, which they took to be forensically examined. And then the investigators looked to the blackboard on which the words, “There is no salvation” were written. After a cursory examination, they realized that it had been fired the day before, but by whom they were unsure.
A manhunt ensued for the 600 villagers in the small town. Despite this, no trace of any of the locals was ever unearthed. To date it is considered an unsolved mystery. As newspaper reports of the town’s disappearance reached the west it was considered a curiosity, but with the shifting political climate of Brazil in 1923 it was considered possible that the town had evacuated to avoid conflict with guerrillas. Artur da Silva Bernardes had been elected the year before, and faced a political siege throughout his term. But political evacuations are by no means unheard of. And those who leave a village abandoned always turn up elsewhere. If they had simply left the town, where did they go? Others contend that it’s possible the town was attacked. This too leaves a perplexing mystery.
Another mysterious element is the original language of the phrase “There is no salvation.” Though the phrase has been largely translated into English, the phrase holds little significance in English or Portuguese. However, if the words had been “Illic est haud salus.” in Latin or some variation of it, this could have been related to the phrase “Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus” which is a Catholic phrase meaning “Outside the Church there is no salvation.” If this was the case in a largely Catholic area, the lesson could have been a religious lesson which was interrupted by some unknown force, but with no specific significance itself.
Many references to this story exist, but most seem to be derived from a simple article translated from Russian. This lack of information is one of the more perplexing elements of the Hoer Verde case.

MASSIVE 2012 SOLAR FLARE EXPECTED TO WHIP EARTH WITH FORCE OF 100 MILLION HYDROGEN BOMBS
loading...
Melbourne, Aug 26 (ANI): Astronomers are predicting that a massive solar storm, much bigger in potential than the one that caused spectacular light shows on Earth earlier this month, is to strike our planet in 2012 with a force of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
Several US media outlets have reported that NASA was warning the massive flare this month was just a precursor to a massive solar storm building that had the potential to wipe out the entire planet’s power grid.
Despite its rebuttal, NASA’s been watching out for this storm since 2006 and reports from the US this week claim the storms could hit on that most Hollywood of disaster dates – 2012.
Similar storms back in 1859 and 1921 caused worldwide chaos, wiping out telegraph wires on a massive scale. The 2012 storm has the potential to be even more disruptive.
“The general consensus among general astronomers (and certainly solar astronomers) is that this coming Solar maximum (2012 but possibly later into 2013) will be the most violent in 100 years,” News.com.au quoted astronomy lecturer and columnist Dave Reneke as saying.
“A bold statement and one taken seriously by those it will affect most, namely airline companies, communications companies and anyone working with modern GPS systems.
“They can even trip circuit breakers and knock out orbiting satellites, as has already been done this year,” added Reneke.
No one really knows what effect the 2012-2013 Solar Max will have on today’s digital-reliant society.
Dr Richard Fisher, director of NASA’s Heliophysics division, told Reneke the super storm would hit like “a bolt of lightning”, causing catastrophic consequences for the world’s health, emergency services and national security unless precautions are taken.
NASA said that a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause “1 to 2 trillion dollars in damages to society’s high-tech infrastructure and require four to 10 years for complete recovery”.
The reason for the concern comes as the sun enters a phase known as Solar Cycle 24.
Most experts agree, although those who put the date of Solar Max in 2012 are getting the most press.
They claim satellites will be aged by 50 years, rendering GPS even more useless than ever, and the blast will have the equivalent energy of 100 million hydrogen bombs.
“We know it is coming but we don’t know how bad it is going to be,” Fisher told Reneke.
“Systems will just not work. The flares change the magnetic field on the Earth and it’s rapid, just like a lightning bolt. That’s the solar effect,” he added.
The findings are published in the most recent issue of Australasian Science. (ANI)

INTERSTELLAR DISCLOSURE VIDEO
loading...
This is the video Jose Escamilla has been making for the last 4 years. The original video is 29 minutes of raw footage showing over 50 Deep space space stations,shape-shifter,star crafts, etc. BLAH BLAH BLAH….
Setting aside the John Leonard Watson claim that Jose stole the footage here’s a few other things you should know about Jose Escamilia (The Rods dude).
This was taken from the ATS forums by SeeingUFOzPA check his YouTube channel out..hes got some really great UFO footage on it.
Anyway before I forget later I will post a verbal sparring I have had with that idiot Jose as well.
The implosion of “JOSE ESCAMILLA”: THE UFO HOAXER
Recently I have been privy to a front row seat of the greatest show on Earth. No it was not the circus but instead the derailing of one of Ufology’s greatest hoaxers, JOSE ESCAMILLA.
I do not know if any of you were aware but Mr. Escamilla was about to premier a new(ahem..a rehashed version of his old stuff with new clips) movie and release it at the Chinese movie theater in Hollywood. The stage was set for the greatest disclosure movie ever made…or so Jose claimed….YEAH RIGHT!
IT WAS A DISASTER!
His supposed partners bailed on him and left him holding the tab. He has officially cancelled the premier and is now trying to peddle the dvd”s of the failed premier for a whopping $40 bucks a piece…..IS HE INSANE? He is in debt to the tune of 300K+ and now he is looking to us for financial help. NOT GONNA HAPPEN!
Now to the meat and potatoes of this rant………………..If you take a trip down to Jose Escamilla’s facebook page you will witness the true show. Here you will see him lashing out at fellow hoaxers of Ufology. No one is safe as he bashes Steven Greer, Steven Bassett the military and even Hollywood.
You will see juicy quotes like these:
Jose Escamilla:
In reflection here; maybe my own EGO is to blame why I said this about Greer. Maybe I’m wrong about him. Maybe he’s such a superstar I am just a minion at his bequest. I don’t think so. Steven, you and I have met various times. You have been an arrogant prick with me ever since I was first introduced to you back in 1996.
Jose Escamilla:
I make these films the way things should be presented. The networks spoon feed the public watered down crap. I don’t. This is why my films are being banned by History, Discovery and all the other networks.
Jose Escamilla:
Sometimes I wonder why Dr. Steven Greer, and others have ignored joining forces with me in what I am doing. I’ve needed their support. Instead I get not one word from them. Dr. Steven Greer, has NEVER, said thank you or even acknowledged my work in the film, ever since it’s release in 2006. Maybe he’s too busy to care?
LETS FACE IT……….THE MAN IS BLAMING EVERYONE AND ANYONE FOR HIS FLOP OF A MOVIE AND HIS RANTS ARE BECOMING HILARIOUS TO READ. Feel free to pop on over to his facebook and laugh your ass of for one does not often see a hoaxer implode.
UTTERLY HILARIOUS!
Obviously Jose Escamilla still reads the ATS board because he erased all his comments. ….HEY JOSE WHAT WERE YOU TRYING TO HIDE?
What a disgraceful little turd Jose Escamilla is. He plunges into the abyss of debt and then blames everyone except himself. I kid you not …he was lambasting everyone.I can only hope that the people he owes the 300K to tear his finances to pieces. I am also hoping that the other Hoaxers take notice of what he said and turn their backs on him. I will say this….when hoaxers turn on each other the UFO community is the only clear cut winner.Before erasing his drunken comments he basically called the other hoaxers of UFOLOGY crass names. No one was spared and even little ole Alison Kruse was given some blame. Awwwwwwwwwwwww, poor little Jose……You see what happens when you fund a hoax with other people’s money….YOU GO BANKRUPT!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully if I have anything to say about his DVD sales he will not get much. I am already reaching out to the UFO community and warning them to stay away from his scam. NO ONE IS TO BUY HIS CRAPPY DVD UNLESS THEY WANT TO SEE REHASHED OLD CRAP THAT CONSIST OF HIS OLD FOOTAGE AND HIS DEBUNKED RODS. Basically he is repackaging his old movie and labeling it as new. If you need a Jose fix just download it for free from any torrent site. Why fund the endeavors of a hoaxer. Can you believe his dvd has a new price tag of $40.00 and he is promising everyone who buys it a hand written thank you with a lipstick kiss to seal the deal. NOOO THANK YOU , JOSE!
WOW…..HIS DEMISE HAS REALLY MADE MY DAY……….IT IS GREAT TO KNOW THAT AS HIS SHIP SINKS ON THE HORIZON HE IS ALSO DRAGGING DOWN THE DINGY THAT ALISON KRUSE IS HOLDING ON TO FOR DEAR LIFE! The adage “two birds with one stone” rings true especially in this case.
THEIR COLLECTIVE CREDIBILITY HAS OFFICIALLY IMPLODED!
*Check out his latest scam…he never stops does he ?
He should consider politics.

TELEPATHIC TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION
loading...
Though this may surprise some people, all humans communicate with those nearest to them on a subconscious level most of the time. I don’t just mean body language or physical nearness here, but actual telepathic, empathic communication that is often highly advanced.
There are several things to know about this kind of communication before you start though.
First, most telepathic communication (I will refer to it as telepathy for this article, though it refers to the mental transmission of any type of data. Empathy certainly counts, at least when referring to the psychic kind.) takes place in the subconscious regions of the mind. In order to “hear” this data, you will have to quit your own mind and move more deeply than is normal into your
subconscious range of thought.
Second, since the subconscious mind is not verbally organized, this information will likely be conceptual ,presented as an idea, sometimes with a vague “visual” to go with it. Keep in mind though that these visuals are most likely your own interpretation of purer data being sent to you. This means that it is one step further removed from accurate “pure” information.
Third, for stronger levels of communication, you need to find a resonance with the individual you are trying to gather or send data with.
Fourth, when in resonance with another person, you must have a higher level of coherent mental activity than they do, unless you are simply gathering data from them. In general you will want to train yourself to be the mentally more synchronized person whenever possible in any given situation involving others. What is below is a basic, step by step “how to” and description of what to expect when interacting more directly with someone else’s mind.
Begin by trying to quiet your mind for a few moments.
This step is integral to almost all psychic work and should be practiced daily, even if you are not actively doing any psychic level work. (So build a regular practice of focused meditation.)
When you feel you are at a mental place that is about the best you can do for now, move on to the next step. Don’t get bogged down in being perfect. You will get better with practice and doing is a better teacher than reading in most cases.
Focus on the person you are trying to form a resonance with.
It works best to simply hold a mental impression of how they “feel” inside your mind. Try to keep yourself focused on the sense of their presence, without words or pictures. If you do get a picture of them mentally, refocus on that sense of presence as best you can. This will help get more of your deeper self to focus on this resonance.
Here is a “trick” that most people never use in mental communications. The mind will form a link to this other person rapidly and naturally (just looking into someone else’s eyes tends to cause a link to form that is measurable on an EEG.), but maintaining focus on them in this way for a longer time period (say 20 minutes to an hour) before trying to send or receive information will link your minds much more firmly and cause them to synchronize to a much higher level.
So be prepared to focus for some time before attempting anything!
In general, the more time you spend in direct contact with another mind, the easier it will become to reach them solidly. With enough work on a single individual, this effect can become far stronger and almost instantaneous in some cases.
Assure your greater level of coherency.
If you have been practicing specific coherence exercises, simply bring up that feeling of unity at this point and hold it while also focusing on the other person.
What will happen here is not only entrainment, but you will pull the other person into what is almost certainly a slightly altered state for them, leaving the lines of communication much more accessible.(It is also a mentally healthier state with some decent benefits in regards to some mental disorders.)
If you haven’t been practicing coherency exercises, you will want to make certain you are focusing as hard as you can the whole time you are attempting to do this. Focused will automatically increases mental coherency. Not as much as specific practice will, over time, not even nearly so, but it will probably be enough to entrain most people that are not used to such things being done on a conscious level. Everyone is used to this on the subconscious level, it
happens all the time after all.
At this point, you are going to be able to pick up concepts from their subconscious mind and also place concepts in their minds.
To do this well however, you will want to have either a very clear mind to receive concepts from them, so you don’t get in your own way, or have a concept or set of concepts ready to hold yourself.
You do not specifically have to think of doing things in “their mind” as in a very real way you are sharing a mind for this brief window in time.
The more time spent holding an idea like this, the greater the effects will be on them, as their subconscious being will perceive it as more and more important, due to the long time period the idea is being presented over. Most people do not focus on concepts for longer than a few seconds at a time. Even when they do, doubts, conscious thought in words or pictures and boredom often cause the subconscious mind to get mixed signals. This muddies the effects of their own thoughts and communication with the deeper mind.
Once practiced at this, it is very possible to have more impact on a persons subconscious (and thus conscious mind by proxy) than they have on their own mind.
Remember, you are sharing large parts of yourself in this as well, so communication will go your way most often if you can keep all doubts and worries or fears from popping up while working. The best way to do this is to practice regular meditation with some form of external and variable distraction.
So, if you read and practice the above for a bit, you have the basics of mental communication. The largest obstacle is not communicating though, but is rather consciously perceiving the information coming in from a less focused mind. The “cleaner your own slate” the greater the impression that will be left on your mind. Simply accept what they are thinking without judgment or attempt to understand, remember what you sense and interpret once you have finished your task.
The longer you spend trying to influence a person, the greater the impact. The closer the idea you are presenting is to how they already think on a given topic (which you should be able to sense now, as conceptual data) the more easily they will except the new data.
For example, let’s say you are getting a Birthday gift for a person you know to be a bit picky, there is much you can do using this skill set.
You can “read” their mind and get a sense of what they would like. Then once you get them a gift, you can influence how they will view it, so that they will think more highly of the gift you gave them, value it more and so on.
If that gift is close to what they really wanted, your mental work will be far easier!
One last thing!:
Just in case what you want to impart to the other person is somewhat farther from their mind than not, you will be best off slowly introducing new concepts that build upon what they already think, guiding them gently over several sessions towards the final goal you have set. Dumping something untenable into their mind will cause them to rebel against you, possibly even act with real, palpable, fear in your presence. They WILL Fight this kind of intrusion.
But a slow change of ideas in natural and normal and most people can be brought around to thinking positively about almost any subject if the concepts are handled correctly.

PSYCHIC DETECTIVE FINDS WRONG BODY
loading...
A psychic detective in Australia was horrified to discover a human torso while investigating the disappearance of a different person. While investigating the disappearance of Kiesha Abrahams, the psychic trekking through Doonside’s Eastern Creek in western Sydney discovered a body just as the sun was beginning to set on Wednesday. The discovery is either evidence of the detective’s psychic ability or an incredible coincidence.
While searching for a missing six year old girl Kiesha Abrahams, the psychic suddenly had a very strong intuitive gut feeling that there was a body nearby while they walked around searching for evidence of the girl’s whereabouts. When they uncovered a naked torso missing the head, arms, and legs, they were shocked. But the apparent age of the torso immediately ruled out the girl who was missing. It was originally unknown whether the torso discovered was male or female, but last night it was announced that the torso had belonged to a female. The incredibly unlikely find gained the psychic, who remains unnamed a considerable amount of support from believers and some skeptics who were moved to belief by the unlikely discovery.
As the torso’s discovery is part of an ongoing investigation, many details of the case remain scarce, although the area has become the site of an official investigation as foul play may be suspected in the case. In any event, some level of investigation certainly seems warranted.
So how unlikely is this discovery? Australia’s murder rate continues to fall per year. Given the square mileage within Australia there is one murder per year for every 1,120 square miles. If we multiply this and assume a body is visible always from half a mile away the chances double to one in 2,240. Then we take into consideration how few murders actually result in disposed of bodies (crimes of passion often don’t involve any sort of cover up) and the number is still significantly higher. And this is also taking into consideration the period of time before a body is destroyed by the elements, and the likelihood becomes even stranger. Of course this is only if one psychic were making an attempt one time to find a body. And there is much more of a condensed area where people inhabit the region, so not all square mileage can be taken into consideration.
In the end, since the area humans inhabit is far less than the entire area of Australia, we can assume the original figure requires some modification. But even so, the chances of a psychic going out on an investigation only to find another body from a likely unrelated crime is exceedingly low. So this raises the all important question: is this a case of someone’s psychic talents paying off? Or is it merely a coincidence? With police departments from several countries, including the UK, making claims that psychics are never used in investigations finds such as these are always of particular note, however unfortunate they may be.

THE ROCK BAND ‘MARS VOLTA’: THE ENTITY AND THE CURSE
loading...
The occult and magick (occult magick is spelled with a “K” at the end) is certainly no stranger to the musical industry. Musicians have often found inspiration from dreams, ghosts, and even visions of alien visitors. But when the popular and talented progressive rock group The Mars Volta came across an ancient scrying tool called “soothsayer,” they found themselves bound to create an album about the stories it told them. The next few months would end with them holding the finished product in their hands, deciding whether or not their creation could in good conscience be released or whether all copies should be destroyed.
The album was a massive hit, but the interesting thing about it was that for the most part the band credits the contents of the piece was largely not their doing, but rather the result of their own experiences and the stories “soothsayer” told them through the device. As the device got more of a hold over the band, they found themselves drawn to it more often than ever. They would regularly sit around it after a show to hear stories and receive instructions. The board began making “demands” that were followed by threats of punishment if the demands were not met.
As the band continued to develop the album they began noticing strange things happening. The studio that took them on to complete the album unexplainably flooded not once, but twice. Bixler Zalava suddenly needed foot surgery that required him to go through physical rehabilitation to learn how to walk again. The band’s drummer suddenly quit, causing them to look for a new drummer. Tracks, many of which required hours of work to create would suddenly disappear without explanation in ways that were considered “impossible.” And of course through the whole thing “soothsayer” continued providing material for the album and making demands on the band members. Who was behind this soothsayer that created such intricate stories and demanded they be released to the masses in the form of a musical album? And what was the ultimate result for these extremely unfortunate events that plagued the band?
Eventually Rodriguez Lopez, the band’s guitarist and producer broke the artifact in half and buried it in an undisclosed location in the desert. He then swore the band to silence, and they agreed to never speak of the object again until after the album “Bedlam and Goliath” was finished. And after it was released, rumors began circulating that the album itself carried with it a strange curse as well. In an attempt to look for more information on this alleged curse, it was difficult to find more than “friend of a friend” style accounts in an urban legend style. But is there something to this? Why would an unknown entity wish for its story to be told in an album? Is there another force at work here? Or is this simply the same kind of legend a band like Mars Volta thrives on? Either way, knowing that out there sitting in record stores all over the world could be a cursed album is an interesting concept to think of.

I’m not one to really post videos or images of strange things people have encountered and sensationalize it with headlines labeling it as an alien or ghost. I however like many of you have a insatiable appetite to explore the unknown and question literally everything.
So for your consent I submit this video in hopes maybe you might have an idea of what this actually is.
It might be an overhanging branch …but theres nothing that actually can back that claim up if you look closely.
Could it be a spirit or entity ?
If you look closely you can even make out a distorted face.
In any event, lets hear your opinions on this one.

In the book of Revelations, Wormwood is the name given to the “star,” or heavenly body that can mean anything from a planet to comet or asteroid, that physically crashes into the earth. It is not known if it will physically bring a bitterness to the world, or if it will cause a chain of events that will bring it to pass. The bible says that a third of the world’s fresh water supply will be effected, turned bitter, and many will die by drinking from it. Whether it is an asteroid, a star, or a planet is irrelevant, for the Bible says it will strike the Earth, and the devastation will be “bitter.”
