The Jinn and mental disorders

Supernatural ‘Jinn’ Seen as Cause of Mental Illness Among Muslims »

This could be a symptom of a culture widely believing in paranormal phenomenon.. Muslims, it’s reported in this study, believe that the supernatural Jinn are attributing to their mental illnesses when they have them. Scientists and astute psychologists obviously say that the Jinn, since they aren’t real, cannot be doing this and culturally Muslims have simply been conditioned by their religious backgrounds to perceive the Jinn as being the reason for their problems.

Of course, if the Jinn were real, that would throw off the findings..

Nonetheless, here’s a money quote and conclusion of why certain cultures are haunted by certain entities:

Across societies, beliefs in the supernatural as well as other aspects of culture may influence how mental disorders manifest, the study said. Previous research has found that people with schizophrenia may experience different delusions depending on their cultures. For example, fears about technology and surveillance play a large part in the delusions of people with schizophrenia in the United States. Meanwhile, in Japan, which has an honor-oriented culture, patients’ delusions more commonly involve fears about public humiliation.

In a recent study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, U.S. patients with schizophrenia reported hallucinations that involved hearing voices with a negative tone, whereas in Ghana and India, patients reported voices with a generally positive tone.

However, culture is not the only factor that influences psychiatric patients. Blom and his colleagues previously treated a young Muslim patient who had schizophrenia, and who, contrary to the doctors’ expectations, didn’t attribute his hallucinations to jinn. Instead, the patient had searched the Internet for cases similar to his experience, and had concluded that he was a werewolf.

“He could not be persuaded to accept any other explanation,” Blom wrote in an article describing the case that was published in March in the journal History of Psychiatry.

All in the mind..
The Jinn aren’t real. Just keep telling yourself that..

KATRINA’S ANNIVERSARY MAY BE MARKED WITH ANOTHER NEW ORLEANS HURRICANE?

This is a story worth paying close attention to.. If you look at the map, check the city of New Orleans.. this forecast is being made for August 28 2014. The same date as another famous hurricane hit, Katrina in 2005. Could this be a repeat? The path looks frighteningly the same.. The factors are obvious subject to change, and a hurricane may not necessarily strike in the same fashion —or strength. But this map encourages negative thoughts about the near future in that area..
Here is another forecast map from the Canadian run..

Again.. the map would portend to show a potential direct eye-wall strike on or near the city of New Orleans..
It would be a definite hope and prayer that these maps unfold as false hits.   Best place to go for amateur coverage of INVEST 96L here..

You’re not crazy: The buzz above

While it’s not the first time black helicopters have swirled above American cities in training exercises, it’s getting renewed attention after Minnesota oddities surprised unknowingly citizens below..

CBS WCCO4 REPORTED IT THIS WAY:

The money quote:

The Department of Defense is in charge of the operation while Minneapolis and St. Paul police are playing a supportive role. But none of the departments will comment on the mysterious mission, only apologizing for “any alarm or inconvenience the training may cause,” according to statement by Minneapolis police.



But some don’t think these exercises are not only beyond normal but also inappropriate..

Different people may judge it differently.. But what’s clear: Get ready to see more American military might over a city near you.

ALL THINGS COME IN THREES

Strange times.. strange coincidences.. Weird timing. And bad things coming in threes..

It’s obvious that Americans are fixated on Ferguson.. the Middle East is trying to escape the clutches of genocide and grotesque videos of reporters getting beheaded.. But all the while, a few oddly-timed events occurred within hours of themselves involving Pope Francis. The HORROR REPORT’s fin toil hat took notice, and we immediately recalled a supposed prophecy from long ago..

The HORROR REPORT has written extensively on the Prophecy of the Popes–the alleged time table written by St. Malachy that gave us the prediction for all popes up until the end, the end being “Peter the Roman.” While Cardinal Bergoglio did not choose Peter as his papal name, and he was celebrated as the first ‘Latin American’ pope, it’s interesting to note that his origins are in Italy. Even more, while Francis was picked, the HORROR REPORT noted in November 2013 that Pope Francis continues to remind us of PETER in many ways.. Francis displayed St. Peter’s bones in Rome for the first time in history..

The following set of news bits do not directly correlate to any issues of prophecy, though it still seemed strange to consider the news when that doom and gloom of end time predictions loom over of Pope Francis’ papacy..

3 part 1.
Pope Francis announced that he is hoping to visit THREE American cities when he visits in September 2015.. Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and New York City to speak to the United Nations. The American visit has been the subject of countless stories and endless media attention in Vatican circles. While there is no definite setting for the Pope’s visit, it had appeared likely for some time that he would visit at least Philadelphia. Now, with the President’s invitation and plans to meet with the Secretary General of the U.N., that trip has swelled to three cities..

3 part 2.
A tragic situation has struck Pope Francis.. THREE of his family members died in a car crash this week .. His two great nephews and their mother were killed in Argentina. The family was returning from vacation when the accident happened. The Pope has been said to be ‘deeply pained’ by the incident and is asking for prayers..

3 part 3.

The weirdest of the set of 3’s may come directly from Pope Francis’ infallible mouth. While talking to reporters on his trip back from South Korea to the Vatican.. And then he said this: “I see it as the generosity of the people of God. I try to think of my sins, my mistakes, not to become proud. Because I know it will last only a short time. Two or three years and then I’ll be off to the Father’s House.” The media reports indicate that the comment had a ‘light-hearted’ context, but with constant rumors of the Pope’s failing health haunting him, the words spoken may have had deeper meaning than a little quip or joke from Francis..

Francis also said he would not rule out retirement–something unheard of in recent generations until Pope Benedict opted to do it, creating the need for Cardinals to conclave to raise the white smoke with Bergoglio..

 

Three cities.
Three family members..
Three years to live..

All things come in threes, sometimes even ‘threes’ come in threes.

Of course, it’s impossible for anyone to conclude that the prophecy of the popes has 100% merit–though it sure is creepy considering it appears to be frighteningly accurate–but just imagine if the prophecy has any truth. What if the timeline existent in the words is real, and Francis is the final 112th Pope. And then..the end?Pope Francis gestures while aboard a flight

Would that end be in three years when Francis decides to retire or fate decides to take him? Would there be another Pope to fulfill the 112th’s mission of end times? Or would all of this just go away, and be forgotten.. just like the year 2000 and 2012 frights that never happened, could this prophecy end up in the trash heap of paranormal fakery?

Difficult to determine, obviously, since even the most hard core of Catholics often disbelief old mystical tales of future events. Regardless of the accuracy of ‘end times’ predictions, current events sure look like a biblical moment of Armageddon. Christians suffering genocide in Iraq. Americans being torn apart by divisions that are less than skin deep.. And Ebola is ripping apart of the African continent..

There we go. There again.

If these are not end times, I’d sure hate to see them.

ISIS HORROR: BEHEADING VIDEO RELEASED, AND A NEW THREAT UNLEASHED

ISIS has released a video of journalist James Wright Foley, 40, being beheaded.. the video is graphic and cruel, with Foley stating that the United States government is his real killer.. The ISIS member, who speaks with a British accent, threatens President Obama and brings another reporter, Steven Scotloff, before the camera at the unknown location..

The President has been made aware of the video, reports indicate, as he flew back to his vacation.. Additionally, the Foley family has been said to be consumed by horrid grief at the news tonight..

This is how REUTERS reported the news in its dispatches tonight from Baghdad:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – Islamic State militants claimed in a video on Tuesday to be holding U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff and said his life depended on U.S. President Barack Obama’s next move.

“The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision,” said a masked man in the video posted on social media sites, speaking English with a British accent as he held a prisoner the video named as Steven Sotloff.

The video could not immediately be verified.

The world yet again witnessing another small detail of the horror taking place in the Middle East..

The United States is working to verify the video..
The militant group, however, is claiming they killed him. And will soon kill another..

A VOICE SILENCED

Don Pardo is dead at 96..

You may not know him by his face, but you would definitely know him by his voice. He was the longtime voice of Saturday Night Live, only missing one season throughout the entirety of the programs lifespan.

He is done a number of other voice over jobs, you may also recognize him from the program Jeopardy..

Television may not be the same without him, regardless of how bad or good Saturday Night Live was, his voice being the mainstay and permanent fixture of the program was comforting..

May he rest in peace..

 

THE IS IS KNOCKING?

This happened during a cnn interview last night in Ferguson.. During live coverage of the protests, someone held up an ‘ISIS IS HERE’ banner for cameras to see..

A provocation of violence? A show of solidarity with terrorists? All a fraud to scare the nation?

We do know this: Many outsiders are attempting to hijack the message from Ferguson. Some want violence to drown out the important facts relative to the shooting of Michael Brown..

That may be what this ISIS sign is intended to do..

Or .. They are here ..

 

When you kick the ice bucket

So many tries.. so many fails.
By now your newsfeed has been slammed with ‘ice bucket challenges.’ I have gotten into some heated discussion with fellow humans about whether this is just a egocentric trip into nonsense territory or if the ice bucket idea actually generates attention for ALS..

Nonetheless, there’s been a whole slew of fails in the ice bucket category.. Some of them have been monumental. This video attempts to capture some of the best..

Enjoy..

DIMENSION IS READY FOR THE NEXT ‘HALLOWEEN’.. BUT I DON’T THINK FANS ARE

Horror sites and movie message boards have been a buzz today after BLOODY DISGUSTING linked a SCHMOEKNOW report indicating that Dimension Films is ready for a new Halloween movie.. with a new Akkad..

It will be entitled HALLOWEEN: THE NEXT CHAPTER. Apparently it will be set for a fall 2015 release—imagine the first one came out in the late 1970s and we are STILL talking about the Michael Myers franchise *(amazing)*..

According to the report, too, Rob Zombie will not reprise his role as the official ruiner of something great.. No gorefest? not sure.. no storyline? maybe not.. But.. it’s going to be a ‘fresh’ take on the Zombie films. Whatever that may mean.

A new chapter, I guess..

The first thing I thought about the new film.. Didn’t we already have a slasher ‘chapter’ before? We did.. it was called FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER. Which was not the final chapter at all.. this new HALLOWEEN is the new Chapter.. And the second thing I thought: I don’t want a new chapter. I don’t want another Dr. Loomis, or another tale of Michael Myers.. or any other references to him in new films. I want him confined to Halloween 1 and 2.. I wanted him to have blown up in a Haddonfield hospital, never to return again.. I wanted Mr. Sandman to be the last thing I thought about when I recalled the Halloween movies.

Instead we have ended up with years of crap.. just plain garbage.. trashed heaped on us like weighted down rubbish .. Halloween 4? It was …alright. 5? Oh too much… 6? Ungodly.. 6 the director’s cut? Even worse.. H20? Josh Hartnett couldn’t even save it.. 8? Oh God live streaming from the Myers house? Rob Zombie..? Please stop this madness.. A new chapter? CLOSE THE BOOK.

This all needs to end..

Dr. Loomis shot him six times. And then set him on fire.. And John Carpenter wanted it that way.

Take the mask off.
Shatner called. He wants his face back.

Horror movies called.. they want the Akkads to stop making Halloween.. And now someone just needs to pass that along to DIMENSION—the company living in another dimension where reality doesn’t seem to exist when it comes to horror movie series that have just gone on toooo long..

Sorry Mike. We’ve had enough!

TOP NEWS AUGUST 18 2014

Anyone who comes to this site daily may be scratching their tin-foiled head in confusion: Another design change?
I frankly don’t know why.. I’ve gone WordPress crazy.. Maybe I will stick with one, black and white, and read all over?

MEANWHILE..

ANOTHER NIGHT.. MORE TENSION..
ERIC HOLDER IS TAKING OVER THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE DEATH OF MICHAEL BROWN.. BUT TONIGHT, AS THIS STORY IS WRITTEN, MORE TENSION IS BEING SEEN IN THE TOWN OF FERGUSON, MISSOURI..

News networks are finally covering the story as they should have for the first several days.. While they played reruns of daytime shows, Ferguson was ablaze in anger and protest.. now that the TEE VEE news teams showed up, as slightly referenced here, the behavior of reporters is a bit off.. Perhaps some unseasoned journos are a little uncomfortable that a real news story is taking place before their eyes. There’s no green screen to seperate them from the reality of tension in the town of Ferguson..

Nothing but pure emotion.. Raw words.. At one point an MSNBC reporter reminded a protester passing by “you’re on national TV”.. Well, as national as MSNBC can get..

Meanwhile, the HORROR REPORT wrote a bit on its takeon the current climate of anger..

Other news we are following: An alien over a fire in Canada ?? you be the judge.. A ghostly encounter for Megan Fox Is she all thumbs or did a spirit really pour her coffee? And meanwhile, another horrid and fluid sitaution continues to unfold in Iraq.. CNN had a valuable report in the matter today And this: Those who fret about the famed and fearful ‘prophecy of the popes’ may have something to begin prepping for: Pope Francis predicts that he has two or three more years.. Could that mean we do, too?

.. STAY TUNED FOR MORE..

THE HORROR REPORT, ALWAYS DEVELOPING..
