  • Move over ice buckets.. The paranormal CHARLIE CHARLIE challenge has come to social media town..

    Move over ice buckets.. The paranormal CHARLIE CHARLIE challenge has come to social media town..

    Earlier today I, along with a varied amount of other sources, wrote about the newfound appreciation of an old game called CHARLIE CHARLIE.. Rooted in Mexican paranormal tradition, the game involves using pencils to summons a demon with a pair of people chanting “Charlie Charlie” followed by questions of their choice. And the cautionary tale goes: You must ask Charlie to stop playing the game.

    Well the entire internet just blew up this Memorial Day weekend with the ‘Charlie Charlie Challenge’ on social media.. Oliver Darcy at THE BLAZE reports,

    It’s dubbed the “Charlie Charlie Challenge” — and it has individuals everywhere attempting to summon a Mexican demon named Charlie through the performance of a paranormal ritual.

    Individuals are instructed to form a cross with two pencils on a piece of paper. Inside the four boxes created by the pencils, one is supposed to write either “yes” or “no” and then ask if “Charlie” is present. If the pencil moves toward a box with “yes” that supposedly indicates the demon’s spirit is in the room.

    There are two camps when it comes to a story like this, just as there is with the OUIJI board or any other attempt to herald some paranormal souls or demonic entities:
    1) It’s all fake anyway so it doesn’t really matter..
    2) It’s all true or at least partially true, and it’s a dangerous game for youthful ignorants to play around with ancient rituals.

    You may have a multitude of thoughts yourself on the matter–I certainly do..
    There is no paranormal story I ever wholeheartedly believe.. Nor is there ever ‘too much’ logic in the face of news events like this. But at the same time, there are mysterious things in this mysterious universe, with quantum mechanics in its infancy, I still believe anything is possible.

    Along with the possibilities: Maybe even someone named Charlie answered the call of endless amount of people now showcasing their CHARLIE CHARLIE videos on the internet for the entire social media world to see..

    Once again this year, paranormal tales are in the news. The mainstream news..

    Hopefully all of our CHARLIE CHARLIE video victims remembered to end their game..

    You may have heard of the pencil game called CHARLIE CHARLIE.. There are variations of it online, some say two pencils, but others say three.. Either way, you need to begin with two players and both must chant ‘Charlie Charlie can we play.’  The pencils will take on a life of their own, it is said, if Charlie wants to play…

    The legend has been around for some time, with people randomly posting links of their own experimentation.. and others proclaiming fake and fraud.  The game is a Mexican tradition and is also called the Pencil Game and Charlie Pencil..

    But new life has been breathed into the game on Youtube and other social media sites..

    A video racking up some big hits on the popular site World Star Hip Hop shows off some people experimenting with their own version of CHARLIE CHARLIE.. The video includes some not so friendly language.. but it’s a holiday weekend, I assume you won’t be at work or school when you’re reading this..
    So presented for your Sunday night amusement: A CHARLIE CHARLIE video filled with decisive answers and men with high pitched screams..

  • A new day. An old day. A new day.

    A new day. An old day. A new day.

    I had a very in depth discussion with a seer this week.. She explained a few things that, one could contrive are just happenstance and chance predictions, and others may say are true messages from beyond..

    The odd part: A few things actually seemed to all combine together in a sensible few moments of clarity today..
    I wrote down most of what I was told simply to go back in the future and see how right it all wrong.. But today, today alone, about a dozen or so things all happened before my eyes—-the words all made sense. It wasn’t a Sylvia Browne moment.. it wasn’t a MISS CLEO thing. It was a real and true chat about what matters, why it matters, how it matters, and how it makes sense.

    Life is compartments.. the brain is meant to close a few books now and then. The flesh is meant to break apart but the soul is made to move to the next class..

    I will keep the words told to me private.. And besides, some would simply count it all as a hoax..

    But I will simply say this, as explained, one chapter was closed today. Not with a bang but a whimper.

    Suddenly it feels like a new one has begun with a train whistle and the sound of motorcycles, spring breezes, and laughter of a child.
    Time to take in only the things that matter..
    Only the things that matter..

    THE ROSWELL SLIDES UPDATE FROM WHITLEY STRIEBER

    The ROSWELL slides updated: Whitley Strieber’s DREAMLAND is on the case of the strange looking photos that were presented at a public conference in Mexico days ago.

    Those pictures has caused lots of debate–are they real?

    Are they frauds? Strieber reports that Linda Moulten Howe is attempting to determine where the actual bodies are and has uncovered a better photograph of the being, or whatever it may be..

    The program Strieber did on this subject matter is being presented free to the public, he called it the ‘most astonishing’ Dreamland he has ever done..

  • The Lily Groesbeck miracle: Who cried out for help?

    The Lily Groesbeck miracle: Who cried out for help?

    There is a story making the rounds online tonight about baby Lily Groesbeck. It’s tragic but yet hopeful.. It’s a merging of the yin and yang in life, a showcase of how cruel life can be but yet, at the same time, how seemingly strange occurrences can take place that confound the logical mind..

    25 year old Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck was driving home from her mother’s house in Spanish Fork River, Utah. Her passenger was her 18-month-old Lily, securely strapped in a car seat.. According to police accounts, the car was in an accident and plunged into a cold and icy river on Friday night.   Jennifer died. Lily lived, and is in critical condition. The accident is under investigation..

    But the story, in all its tragic makeup of a woman now gone from the earth and a young child without a mother, something else is being mentioned..A few strange and, to some, miraculous events led to the successful rescue of Lily.

    Some rescue workers were treated for hypothermia. Despite the cold, they said when they jumped into the water they felt nothing..  They realized that a child was inside and their urge to fight the elements became stronger than the elements. They were able to get inside the vehicle. They saw a lifeless woman and a child still breathing..

    But something else happened.

    KSL in UTAH has a full breakdown of the incident and subsequent, perhaps, paranormal activity surrounding the rescue.

    Four police officers–people of sound mind–said they heard cries of ‘help’ from inside the car. One officer, Jared Warner, said that ‘all four of us can swear we heard somebody inside that car saying ‘Help’.”  

    The ‘help’ that was heard was impossible .. As KSL says,

    But when they flipped the vehicle resting on its hood in the Spanish Fork River onto its side Saturday, they discovered there was no one inside able to speak.

    “The only people in there were the deceased mother and the child,” said officer Bryan Dewitt.

    “We’re not exactly sure where that voice came from,” Warner told KSL.

    But because of the actions of those officers and several Spanish Fork firefighters, 18-month-old Lily was rescued. She remained at Primary Children’s Hospital Sunday in critical condition but was reported to be stable.

    Police belive Lily was upside down, strapped in her car seat for up to 14 hours. Her mother, Lynn Jennifer “Jenny” Groesbeck, was killed in the crash.

    About fourteen hours after the Friday accident, a fisherman found the car.. A police officer arrived. Three more followed. KSL says,

    And that’s when they heard a voice.

    “We were down on the car and a distinct voice says, ‘Help me, help me,’” Dewitt recalled.

    “It wasn’t just something that was just in our heads. To me it was plain as day cause I remember hearing a voice,” officer Tyler Beddoes said. “I think it was Dewitt who said, ‘We’re trying. We’re trying our best to get in there.’

    “How do you explain that? I don’t know,” he said, adding that the voice didn’t sound like a child.

     

     

    One officer speaks of the miracle of seeing the eyes of Lily flutter when they got her from the car.. A firefighter, Paul Taultomadakis, told KSL that he ended up with Lily in his arms and did everything in his human power to keep her alive.

    The rescue workers did their part to ensure life continued for Lily. The miracle, though, may not have been as possible if it wasn’t for that distinct voice from the car yelling for help–a voice that is not logically able to have come from the car..

    But four police officers were–four who tell the same tale of a voice coming from a vehicle.. a woman’s voice..

    Perhaps a mother’s voice who, in the last moments of an earthly dwelling, was simply attempting to make certain her child lived through the scene of tragedy..

    Some are using this to prop up their own stories of religion and miracle tales.. others are disputing the facts presented and said the police were simply rushed with adrenaline and were not of a sound mind to be able to say anything they heard. And yes, I even saw a few who said the cops were just making up their story for attention and some future movie or book deal.

    A story of hope..
    How about instead of disputing it or rampaging through it to find inconsistencies, we just accept it as a story of hope. A little glimmer of goodness in a world filled with despair..

  • THE SHADOWY FIGURE ON A COLD NIGHT

    THE SHADOWY FIGURE ON A COLD NIGHT

    I love quiet walks after sunset–cold kills but sometimes it’s worth it just to breathe in some fresh and clean air..Tonight, while undertaking one of these daily mind clearing excursions, my eyes were focused in on a distant shadow that seemed to be walking towards me.. My dog didn’t notice, he was busy locating the spots every other neighborhood dog found before him..

    The silhouette was large, looked tall.. I squinted my eyes extra-hard to see if I could see a dog with him or her. If that was case, I’d have to quickly think up a new route because, for some reason, my dog Mutley doesn’t do very well during encounters with his fellow canines..

    It did not look like my fellow night walker was alone, no evidence of a dog with him in his travails.. nothing which indicated that Mutley would face competition..

    This true story–I swear to you–got weirder as the time went on.. I stopped briefly and allowed Mutley to take care of his business, and my eyes were closely fixated on this large hulking character.. I looked away for a moment and when my eyes went back to the road, the shadowy man was gone. Without a trace..

    I picked up in speed because I wanted to get as close as I could to the scene of his existence before he would be gone, running perhaps behind someone’s house or lurking around shrubbery..

    I found no evidence.. Heard no sound.. And even after using the flashlight on my phone, didn’t see even one footstep in the snow–new fallen snow today as a shower covered up some of the melting that had occurred previously today.

    I was left wondering if what I had just seen was a figment of imagination, a shadow person in real life, or just some quick kid wearing a large overcoat, darting as fast as I he could away once he saw me look at him.

    If you go down a paranormal road, it is a little freaky.. If you keep it logical, it’s alarming. Why would someone want to hide from another approaching human..?

  • NEW SEASONS. NEW WITCHES.

    NEW SEASONS. NEW WITCHES.

    UK GUARDIAN REPORTS: SEASON OF THE WITCH: WHY YOUNG WOMEN ARE FLOCKING TO THE ANCIENT CRAFT »

    Rapper Azealia Banks brought witchcraft back into the mainstream by tweeting ‘I’m really a witch’. But women in the US have been harnessing its power for decades as a ‘spiritual but not religious’ way to express feminist ambitions

    This fascinating story written by Sady Doyle in the UK GUARDIAN explains how a new burst of ‘witches’ is taking place in the modern world..

    The GUARDIAN seems to credit modern pop culture and entertainment with the new witchcraft of our age.. Things like AMERICAN HORROR STORY and the COVEN. Doyle even gives a nod to the TUMBLR site http://charmcore.tumblr.com/.. I have visited it, though it seems more that it’s a site of reblogs as opposed to original content.

    But there is another angle, one more political: Feminism and the power of the female, symbolized by the strength of a witch..

    Doyle writes,

    Wicca, with its focus on a goddess (rather than a male god – though it has those too) and its relatively open approach to creating canon, was a natural fit for many feminist women interested in writing their own spiritual script. But women who weren’t explicitly Wiccan were also drawn to “witchy” ways of processing the world: not only did women make feminist tarot cards in the 1970s, author Alice Walker personally endorsed one set – the Motherpeace deck. Feminist psychologists such as Jean Shinoda Bolen and Clarissa Pinkola Estés wrote books on using goddess imagery and myths as means of understanding female subjectivity.

    There has been a long and wrong series of centuries in which witches were proclaimed evil.. they were stoned, drowned to death, and ‘pressed’ with heavy objects.

    I know several people who practice Wicca. They are fine, amazing people. While they may have one too many ‘coexist’ bumper stickers, they don’t cause harm to me or society.

    Suddenly witches are trendy. Get ready for that..

  • POLICE RELEASE ‘SLENDERMAN’ INTERROGATION TAPES

    POLICE RELEASE ‘SLENDERMAN’ INTERROGATION TAPES

    The crime captured the nature’s imagination and gave us two fresh faces of real horror: Young 12-year-old girls who stabbed their best friend in 2014..

    We already know that the girls,  Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, wanted to ward off the SLENDERMAN by offering their friend as a sacrifice..

    During the tapes, they explain to police how they lured their friend into the woods.. A number of screen caps from the CNN report showcasing the girl being talked to by an interrogator and some of their chilling words:

    slender1At one point, after stabbing their friend, the girls also believed they say ‘Slender’ himself..

    slender2

     

    Morgan described the way it felt when she was stabbing her friend:

    slender3

     

    Anissa said that after the stabbing they told their would be sacrifice that they were going to get help, however admitted to the investigator that it was a lie.. Instead they were going to run and ‘let her pass away.’ At one point Morgan said “I knew we’d get in trouble” about the attempted murder..

    Police have also decided to release to the media sketches from notebook of one of the girls, as you can see from this ROLLING STONE report today.

    Their friend survived.. but now, unless the charges are reduced, the SLENDERMAN fans now face up to 60 years in prison, if convicted..

    The HORROR REPORT wrote of this crime, and SLENDERMAN, on various occasions. Mostly we found it to be obnoxious to blame a fictional character for the horrible crimes. It also showed how little so many ‘experts’ understand about Creepypastas and the internet, but yet they feel compelled to describe it as they actuall have a clue. Even during the 2014 year in review, the HORROR REPORT entertained the notion that ’14 was the year of paranormal, and highly cited the Slenderman case as a perfect example of the fright..

    2015 seems to be a year, at least in this case, when justice may prevail.

    Morgan was right. She knew they’d be caught. Slenderman didn’t tell her that, her conscious did.

    But now, slender is the fright and goodness is the light.. with that said, hopefully a fair process ensues, critical thinking occurs, and justice prevails.  I think that is the simplest thing owed to the victim who almost died in this case.

     

     

  • When in Rome…

    When in Rome…

    Rome is getting very worried about ISIS.

    We have reported on the strange prophecies that seem to be driving news lately..

    Now the DAILY BEAST is reporting about officials in Rome having no clue how to deal with the threat of ISIS, but being very concerned about their potential advance from Libya to Italy..

    Barbie Latza Nadeau reports this in the BEAST article:

    Last weekend in Italy, as the threat of ISIS in Libya hit home with a new video addressed to “the nation signed with the blood of the cross” and the warning, “we are south of Rome,” Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi shuttered up the Italian embassy in Tripoli and raised his fist with the threat of impending military action.  Never mind that Italy has only 5,000 troops available that are even close to deployable, according to the defense ministry. Or that the military budget was cut by 40 percent two years ago, which has kept the acquisition of 90 F-35 fighter jets hanging in the balance and left the country combat-challenged to lead any mission—especially one against an enemy like the Islamic State.

    In fact, Renzi didn’t specify exactly who would wield that military might, and, two days later, when no one volunteered to lead the charge, he backtracked.  “It’s not the time for a military intervention,” Renzi told an Italian television station Monday night and said the United Nations had to lead the way.  “Our proposal is to wait for the UN Security Council. The strength of the UN is decidedly superior to that of the radical militias.”

    Among the notable facts reported: Libya is just 109 miles away from the island of Lampedusa and 300 miles from Sicily..

    There have been recent news stories regarding threats on the Pope’s life, with very real plots revealed..

    There is an increased security presence outside Rome’s American embassy on Via Veneto and the Libyan embassy on Via Nomentana..

    The most recent beheading video released by ISIS showcases Coptic Christians meeting their collective and bloody demise.. The threat of the video was that ISIS was going to Europe next. And the goal: Rome.

    The Vatican.

    The Pope.
    The war of religions in our modern times..

    The Pope has spoken out against ISIS on a number of occasions, most recently speaking of the horror of the 21 beheaded Christians.. As a matter of fact, he called them modern martyrs.. Cardinal Dolan, a famed figure of Catholic hierarchy, says that civilization itself is being threatened by ISIS.

    In January, prior to the recent beheading and threats, the Vatican saw ‘dangers’ with a terror threat..

    Those dangers are getting closer..
    The world is watching..

  • I am quitting nighttime sleep meditations. But nothing against meditation.

    I am quitting nighttime sleep meditations. But nothing against meditation.

    The march of machines is taking our jobs from under our feet.. robots will accomplish tasks once held by human.
    But in all of the futureshock we are being hit with, one thing remains clear: People are still trying to be people. And get in touch with the larger element of our cosmos..

    Enter into the equation something that maybe could be the job of the future: An expert on meditation..

    Mary Macvean of the LA TIMES writes  that people are seeking a way to slow down.. a moment to take a breather and disconnect from the highly wired world. And in doing so, find the inner peace that is promised with meditation..

    The LA TIMES opens this way:

    “Bring your attention to this moment,” Janice Marturano instructed. “Be open to sensations of warmth or coolness, sensations of fullness from breakfast, or perhaps hunger.” Minutes later, the meditation ended with the traditional strikes of little hand cymbals.

    Buddhists? Old hippies? New Agers?

    Nope. The room was full of hospital executives and managers in lab coats and scrubs, jeans and sports coats at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center. And the teacher was Marturano, once a top executive at General Mills.

    And it goes from there–people who are in highly respected walks of life are the new meditators.. They are attempting to slow down a bit..

    Years ago, well before the 60s generation drugged the meditation world up, this would have been unheard of. It wasn’t so long ago that even Catholic priests warned of the dangers of meditation.. you can slip out of the realm here and let evil forces take over. Now most religions are heralding in the power of yoga and mixing it with prayer. What was blasphemy then is bastioning now.

    I can see it now.. experts in meditation opening up their own buildings where people can find solitude in darkness. Experts and ‘gurus’ will be the new fad–and lots of people will pay big money to those who call themselves a subject matter expert in the art of just being alive without a handheld device.

    Instead of a quiet walk in the woods, we will pay hundreds of dollars to someone who can give us the experience in alternate ways.. A new movement! And a new job market.. Finally humans may have found the one thing robots can’t do. Well.. maybe not.

    There is one interesting caveat, and a personal one, I’d like to share on this, however.. And an important one. For about two weeks, I was attempting a certain sleep meditation (one that will remain nameless, as I don’t want to besmirch the reputation of a highly visited YOUTUBE page.)  It seemed to be putting my to sleep quite fast.. the video’s essentially said it would connect me, or the user listening, to the God of the universe. Whatever that meant..

    The video clearly had an impact on my life. But not the one I expected.. For about two weeks, I fell asleep fast without trouble. But I didn’t dream.. I literally can’t remember one instance in the two weeks where I woke up remembering any dream at all. Even more, for about a week and a half my daily life seemed slower and more zombielike. I didn’t get excited about nearly anything.. I was zoned out, and even my morning coffee didn’t do much to awaken me. I  stopped the meditation and without about three or four days I was back acting normal again, heart racing after caffeine. Even my tin-foil hat paranoia was back in full force.

    So which ‘me’ was the better me? Zoned out and careless about most of everything. Or wired with a touch of mental anarchy? A better question, perhaps: Which was the real me? I have lived most of my life being stranger than some and perceiving conspiracy where others don’t even see smoke. But I am never at rest. The meditation-version of me was at rest. At night, and even during the day..

    This showcases, at least for me, the power of meditation and the ability of the mind-body connection becoming more of an albatross than a savior.

    I am quitting the nighttime hypnoses.

    Instead maybe I’ll just take a phone-free walk in the snow winter woods.
