China Has A "Nessie".Who Knew?

Chinas Nessie sightd
Ten tourists from Guangdong and Hubei provinces were the latest to report a "water monster" sighting in Kanas Lake, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. They told local media that they saw a giant black creature on July 5 that stirred waves over 1 meter high and left a wake over 10 meters long for 20 seconds about 100 meters away from their boat.

Kanas Lake, which means "beautiful, mysterious lake" in Mongolian, is China's deepest freshwater lake with a maximum depth of 188.5 meters, and 24 kilometers long from north to south. It's located in the Kanas Nature Reserve in the Aletai mountain area of northern Xinjiang and has been the source of numerous monster sightings, similar to Scotland's Loch Ness (or
"Nessie") monster for decades – particularly since the 1980s when more visitors and settlers came to the area. Scientists have carried out investigations, though no conclusive evidence has been found of the creature.

Some scientists believe, however, that the monsters may be taimen trout, one of the world's largest and most ferocious freshwater fish which can grow as long as 10 meters.

Another Similar Sighting

Just before posting Gary's experience and artistic depiction of his sighting (In Post Below.)I heard about this one:
"...Witnesses described a football-field-sized triangular craft they saw while on a hunting trip in Idaho in the year 2000. They said the vehicle matched an image in the Special Operations Manual, a purported top secret document from 1954, dealing with the recovery of extraterrestrial entities and technology...

Witness Kris Bales said he was directly under the huge craft which was about 100-200 ft. above him, just silently sitting there. It had a central pulsing red light that was about 90 ft. in diameter. His brother, Marc, who later observed the craft with binoculars, described seeing a small dome-like light on its top."

An Artist Depicts His UFO Sighting

I saw this picture posted by a friend at Global Paranormal Network and was quite impressed with it as it depicts his Sighting of a triangular shaped UFO.

You probably have been hearing more about them lately also the cigar shaped ones, neither of which had disappeared from the scene but of which fewer documentation and tapes were seen in the past decade.
Gary Val Tenuta is the Artist, and as it turns out the author of an article describing his experience.
I want to thank him and suggest you read the full account.There is a link below.


Initially he said "This is an illustration I created to depict the experience I had in 1993. I estimated the craft to be about 300 ft. to a side. It was totally silent and was moving at a very slow pace, perhaps 5 mph. At the time of the sighting my impression was that it was probably about 150 ft. above me"

More details are in the article."... I'd been making that Sunday night drive past Boeing (although via the freeway) for twelve years. This is also not too far from the Sea-Tac Airport. In all that time I'd seen plenty of airplanes and helicopters flying low in this area. But something was different this time. It took me a minute to realize what it was. It was the fact that the lights weren't blinking. I thought that was odd. It seemed to me every airplane or helicopter I've ever seen flying at night had blinking lights.... Although I was now only about two blocks away from being directly under the flight path of these lights, I still could not make out what they were attached to. However, from their slow, steady movement, in unison, I was pretty sure all three of them were attached to a single object rather than being independent of each other. By the time I was directly in line with their flight path, they were about to enter the airspace above Boeing Field to my immediate left. At this point I was convinced it was a single, low-flying craft of some kind and I knew there was something very odd here. I pulled my car off to the side of the road and rolled down the window to get a better look. But the craft was now directly overhead so I had to get out of the car to see it.

I opened the car door and stepped out. Craning my neck to see the craft as it passed slowly directly over my head at an estimated altitude of less than 500 feet (Note: at the actual time of the sighting my impression was that the craft was perhaps only about 150 feet above me) I could see it was a gigantic black triangle. There is no other way to describe it because that's precisely what it was; a huge, black, triangle; not just "sort of" triangular shaped, like one of those stealth jets I'd seen photos of. It was just one big, three-sided, cookie-cutter-straight-edged, black, geometric shape; a triangle with one large, round unblinking red light at each of its three corners, flat up against the underside of the craft. There was a high, gray cloud cover that evening, subtly lit by the Seattle city lights in the distance. I could clearly and unobstructedly see the object like a huge, dense black silhouette against this gray ceiling.
I stood there almost not believing what I knew I was seeing. I actually said to myself, “Ok. What, exactly, are you seeing? You're going to want to remember every detail of this! Just the facts, now. What, exactly, do you see?” I made a mental inventory. “Black triangle. Red light on each corner, flat up against the underside of the craft. They don't blink. ...It looks like it's about seventy-five to a hundred feet above one of the main Boeing hangars. It's moving very slowly.,, It appears to be about the size of a football field.”

Suddenly I realized, as I stood there in the dark on this quiet empty street, the object didn't make a sound! Maybe more than anything else, that's what made the whole thing so eerie. Something that huge, that close, moving through the air at a snail's pace should be making some kind of a sound... A hum. A rumble. Anything. But, no...
I looked up and down the street to see if anyone else was witnessing this silent event, but the street was dark and empty in both directions. It occurred to me, however, that the thing had just passed directly over hundreds of cars on the freeway... I looked up again at the mysterious craft now blending into the dark horizon. I watched it until I couldn't see it anymore and then it was over.

I got back into my car and closed the door. The window was still open and I took another look. Nothing was there but the gray night sky, softly aglow from the distant city lights. It was as if nothing had happened. But believe me, it did, indeed, happen."

Ask Ouija?

Recently I read an article that Hasbro has introduced a series of The Ouija Board in electric colors.Will this enhance the purchase by Tweens,Teens,and College bound girls to "match their room?" no doubt they think so.The regular style has long been as one mother said "On or near the bottom of toy shelves in Walmart,ToysRUs, and other stores in easy reach of children."She considers that dangerous.

Some time ago I did a few posts on this blog (4/11/06) with a video and comments of Etsy Artists indicating that it is not a "game"and can be dangerous.As one said "It opens portals" allowing bad spirits or any old spirit to enter,They may lie to mask their evil intentions.Some have had horrible experiences while others laugh off what happened to them.

There are conflicting thoughts about the origin.One author says the board has been around since the time of the Roman Emperor Valens in the fourth century. It is also thought to have been used by the Greeks since before the time of Christ.

Another says Ouija boards came into existence as a parlor game in the mid-1800's, when spiritism and channeling were at the height of fashion.

Adolphus Theodore Wagner first patented Ouija boards, sometimes referred to as "talking boards," in London, England on January 23, 1854.
In the patent, Wagner called his invention a "psychograph" and its purpose was to read the minds of people with "nervous energy." By 1861, Frenchman, Allan Kardac, was describing the Ouija board as instruments with which to open communications with the spirit world.
In seven short years, the Ouija board had evolved from a mind-reader to portal of communication with the dead.

The Ouija board was first introduced in the United States in 1890 as a parlor game sold in novelty shops.
There are several theories about the origin of the term "Ouija". According to one of these, the word is derived from the French "oui" (for "yes") and the German/Dutch "ja" (also for "yes"). An alternative story suggests that the name was revealed to inventor Charles Kennard (one of the three who revised and introduced it) during a Ouija séance and was claimed to be an Ancient Egyptian word meaning "good luck.".

However Ouija is not the Egyptian word for good luck. Since the board repeatedly told Kennard that Ouija was the Egyptian word, the name stayed.

In 1966 the Parker Brothers purchased the rights to the Ouija Board and shifted its manufacturing facilities to Salem, Massachusetts. "Ouija" is a registered trademark.
Reportedly the box says ...A Game Or Is It?

The American demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, stated that "Ouija boards are just as dangerous as drugs."
On the subject reviewed by skeptics is the curious ending with "As a final note about this enigmatic subject; the Ouija Board, whether it be deemed apparatus to communicate with the dead or simply something to help demonstrate harmless psychological behaviour, it is probably best avoided.

Aliens Or Altered Consciousness?

Researcher and author Graham Hancock discussed how humanity received a jump start some 40,000 years ago, when our ancestors took psychoactive plants and had contacts with non-terrestrial beings who served as teachers.

Their visions and encounters were depicted on cave paintings, he said. The Amazonian hallucinogenic brew known as ayahuasca is being used today, and its active ingredient DMT, is naturally made in the human pineal gland. People who have spontaneous visions may produce higher levels of this chemical in their bodies, he noted,




Quote of the Day
"In the Amazon, they believe that a particular entity lies behind the ayahuasca vine, and this entity is envisaged sometimes as a majestic human woman, and sometimes in the form of a gigantic serpent, a boa constrictor or anaconda type of serpent. And I, under under the influence of ayahuasca, have met this being...we always speak of her in the female form...you do have a direct spiritual contact with a being who loves the Earth, and who loves human beings and who comes to us with a feeling of love..." --Graham Hancock

Stumped The Investigator

Recently,documentary producer Bill Murphy, shared details from his various paranormal investigations. Murphy recalled visiting a house in Leesville, Louisiana, where strange occurrences baffled a local paranormal research team.

"The land the house sat upon, as well as the home itself, would vibrate inexplicably, Murphy explained. The area was neither by railroad tracks nor prone to earthquakes, he added. Murphy said the unexplainable vibrations eventually manifested into poltergeist activity, which he was able to record."

But what about the house? And the people living in it?

The Hunch Backed Man

This is a recent story of an unexpected visit by M in her own words:
"I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. My experience happened in February, 2009. I have two dogs and I have to go out in the backyard with them while they go potty so my big dog doesn't jump the fence. I am not sure if I was out with the dogs or not, but I was out in my backyard. My backyard is about 1,500 feet from the alley and then my neighbor's garage. I have a small shed in the back of my yard.

I happened to look by my shed and see this old man hunched over, walking in the alley toward my shed. When he got close to the shed, he moved really fast. He never came out from there it... was like he disappeared.

I did see what he was wearing: a red hat, greenish gray vest, plaid shirt of the same color and pants of the same color, almost maybe black and gray other than his hat. I did know that at one time the neighbor behind us said that her grandpa built her house. So it got me wondering if this man was her grandpa.

I called her about two weeks later, after telling my husband and parents. I didn't want to sound like a weirdo. So I called her and asked her what he looked like. The first words out of her mouth were, "Well, he was hunchedbacked... you wouldn't miss that...."

I just about dropped the phone! Later, about another week after the phone call, my two daughters and I went to the neighbor's house for a visit and we brought up the fact that I might have seen her grandpa. We were kind of laughing when all of a sudden we heard three knocks on the inside of a door that she said was her bedroom. I'm not sure if it was her grandpa because I have never seen or even had a description of him until I had seen the hunched-over man in my alley. I still haven't seen a picture of him, but I am interested in seeing one.

I believe and have had numerous experiences in the last three years of unexplainable things. It isn't too scary for me as I tell myself that they too were alive and they are people just like me."

Thank you for telling us of your experience.

The Right Idea About This Haunting?

Some people do not believe in Ghosts.Some who believe in Ghosts do not believe in Demons.What do you think?

""I got that cold sensation...and walked in the hallway. There was a foul smell...like going near your city dump when it's 100 degrees out. Looked up the staircase, there was something transparent, murky colored and it was starting to form. And behind it, it was like taking all these plastic bags and just crinkling them...Today I refer to it as the fluttering of the wings...It started coming down the staircase and said 'Did you know what they did to us?' At that point in time, the only thing I could think of was that I wanted my car keys, so I could get the hell of that house." --John Zaffis on his encounter at the Connecticut home"

Seems like a good decision to me.

Black Blob In Alaska Waters??

Huge blob of Arctic goo floats past Slope communities

IT'S NOT OIL: No one in the area can recall seeing anything like it before.

By DON HUNTER


"Something big and strange is floating through the Chukchi Sea between Wainwright and Barrow.


Hunters from Wainwright first started noticing the stuff sometime probably early last week. It's thick and dark and "gooey" and is drifting for miles in the cold Arctic waters, according to Gordon Brower with the North Slope Borough's Planning and Community Services Department.



Brower said it wouldn't necessarily surprise him if the substance turns out to be some sort of naturally occurring phenomenon, but the borough is waiting until it gets the analysis back from the samples before officials say anything more than they're not sure what it is.

"From the air it looks brownish with some sheen, but when you get close and put it up on the ice and in the bucket, it's kind of blackish stuff ... (and) has hairy strands on it."

Hasenauer said the Coast Guard's samples are being analyzed in Anchorage. Results may be back sometime next week, he said.

The two Coast Guard experts sent up to overfly the area with the borough said they saw nothing that resembled an oil slick, Hasenauer said.\

Later, Brower said, the North Slope team in a borough helicopter spotted a long strand of the stuff and followed it for about 15 miles, shooting video from the air.

The next day the floating substance arrived offshore from Barrow, about 90 miles east of Wainwright, and borough officials went out in boats, collected more samples and sent them off for testing too.
Nobody knows for sure what the gunk is, but Petty Officer 1st Class Terry Hasenauer says the Coast Guard is sure what it is not.

"It's certainly biological," Hasenauer said. "It's definitely not an oil product of any kind. It has no characteristics of an oil, or a hazardous substance, for that matter.

"It's definitely, by the smell and the makeup of it, it's some sort of naturally occurring organic or otherwise marine organism."

Something else: No one in Barrow or Wainwright can remember seeing anything like this before, Brower said.


"We brought back one sample of what they believe to be an algae," he said, and a big algae bloom is one possibility.

"It's textbook for us to consider algae because of all the false reports of oil spills we've had in the past. It's one of the things that typically comes up" when a report turns out not to be an oil spill after all.

But, he said, "there's all types of natural phenomena that it could be."

Meanwhile, the brownish-blackish gunk is drifting along the coast to the northeast, Brower said"

Psychic Vampires

A synopsis of a recent Coast To Coast AM radio program about featured guest was titled "Hauntings & Vampires"It said:

"... author & lecturer Michelle Belanger discussed her most recent work with hauntings, as well as the realm of spirits and dark forces. She also spoke about her life as a psychic vampire, and the vampire community in general. Many people experiment with the Ouija Board but often conjure up negative entities because they are seeking to be scared, she noted. Concerning such encounters, she cited the old axiom "do not call up that which you can't put down," and said people should know how to protect themselves, as well as be able to "close the door" on spirits they want to leave. This can be done through mental intent, such as visualizing the sealing of a door, she explained. Ghost hunters should also protect themselves and be aware that spirits can sometimes follow them home, she added.,,"


... She described her process as a psychic vampire and how she takes excess energy from a consensual partner. The vampire community in America numbers in the tens of thousands, and includes people such as herself, as well as those who drink blood, she reported."

It made me think more about Psychic Vampires.The kind who did NOT ask for permission to drain your energy.

Wikipedia uses the tern Energy Vampires
"An energy vampire or psychic vampire is a being or person who is said to have the ability to feed off the "life force" of other living creatures.

Alternative terms for these entities are pranic vampire, empathic vampire, energy predator (see below), psy/psi-vamp, energy parasite, energivore or psionic vampire. Alternate terms for "life force" include qi, prana, energy, or vitality.


The theme of the psychic vampire has been a focus within modern vampire subculture. The way that the subculture has manipulated the image of the psychic vampire has been investigated by researchers such as Mark Benecke[4] and A. Asbjorn Jon.[5] Jon has noted that, like the traditional psychic vampires, those of vampire subculture believe that they 'prey upon life-force or 'pranic' energy'.[5] Jon also noted that the group has been loosely linked to the Goth subculture.,,,

Active vampirism within the vampire subculture includes both blood consumption,[3] which is commonly referred to as sanguinarian vampirism, and psychic vampirism, through which the practitioners believe they are drawing spiritual nourishment from auric or pranic energy.[4" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_vampire

Saudi 'genie' sued for harassment

From BBC this interesting story

"A family in Saudi Arabia is taking a "genie" to court, accusing it of theft and harassment, reports say.

They accuse the spirit of threatening them, throwing stones and stealing mobile phones, Al Watan newspaper said.

The family have lived in the same house near the city of Medina for 15 years but say they only recently became aware of the spirit. They have now moved out.

A local court is investigating. In Islamic theology, genies are spirits that can harass or possess humans.

'Get out of the house'

"We began to hear strange sounds," the head of the family, who come from Mahd Al Dahab, told the Saudi daily. He did not want to be named.

"At first we did not take it seriously, but then stranger things started to happen and the children got particularly scared when the genie started throwing stones."

He added: "A woman spoke to me first, and then a man. They said we should get out of the house."
A local court is investigating. In Islamic theology, genies are spirits that can harass or possess humans.


A local court says it is trying to verify the truthfulness of the claims "despite the difficulty" of doing so.

Many Westerners know the term genie from the tale of Aladdin and the magic lamp, or the 1960s American sitcom, I Dream of Jeannie.

But the BBC's Sebastian Usher says genies, or jinn, in Islamic theology can be a lot more sinister.

They are believed to be normally invisible but with the ability to assume human or animal form, and are often said to be motivated by revenge or jealousy.

There is a lingering belief in genies in the Muslim world that predates Islam, our correspondent says.

A Different Thought About The Moon

Remember your Grandmother saying bad things happen "since they walked on the moon."A lot of folks thought that.
Last week, I heard something I have not heard before.What do you make of this?

"Tom in Seattle revealed what may have been the real reason NASA's Moon program was cancelled after Apollo 17. Tom said a NASA contract officer told him that astronauts aboard the Lunar Orbiter saw lights from a giant moonbase while they were on the dark side of the moon. A voice speaking in English came on their radio and ordered them to "explore no further," Tom added."

A Medium And A Man In A Coma

As many of you know,I grew up in the mountains of North Georgia.Imagine my surprised delight when watching "Psychic Investigators" That a psychic featured was from as is said "from my neck of the woods"I went on line to check her out and found this interesting experience described:

"In March , 2006, Sharon received a call out of the blue from a woman in another country. She didn't usually watch psychic programs, but Sharon's Court TV feature happened to be on when she was walking by the set, and something made her stop to pay attention. Her family was desperate, so she called a psychic for the first time. Could she please help someone in a coma? Their family member was seriously injured. The doctors gave no hope and were about ready to take the person off life support. Sharon had been a medium many times very successfully with deceased loved ones, never for a person in a coma before. Let alone long distance by phone to a foreign country. She agreed to try. When she tunes in to a sick person, or a missing person, or someone who wants information or life counseling, she "catches visions": pictures, or words, impressions, objects, sometimes a "movie" surrounding that person or the events.

Says Sharon, "He told me he was still in the process of deciding whether to go or stay and could his family please give him some time to make up his mind? Tell them not to worry, I'm not in pain because I'm not in my body. I'm with them when they are at home." The family was incredibly comforted.

In a few days, Sharon received the message, "Tell them I'll be waking up in 7-9 days." To the absolute incredulity of the doctors, he woke up on 9 days! In a few more days, he was walking with assistance and beginning to communicate. They are calling it a miracle. The family is so thankful to Sharon and her abilities that allowed them to have insights into the mind of their beloved in a coma."

A Hawaiian Shape Shifter Story

In the eight years I lived in Hawaii there were many stories.This one was from a credible source.
" You probably get accounts from people all the time but my aunt told us of a time when an old man came out of the forest at dusk and stood in the water..She and her friends were not too far from him and just watched ike it was'nt unusual to see something like that.Seconds later,the man shifted shapes into a shark and swam off.This happened not too long ago and they knew of a tale of a man that does this.They could not believe what they saw but did not freak about it.Spirits or whatever know who can tune in to them and wil test you to see how you react.None of her friends came back that evening except her and she observed him as a shark,shift back into a man and quietly make his way back into the forest.My famiy in Hawaii have recently told us of other situations and they know if you don't freak out,they will let themseves be known to you.So much more to tell everyone but someday maybe...Aloha"

A South Georgia Ghost Investigation

Although TAPS and GHI have brought their Ghost Hunting to prominence on TV. there are many such investigating groups throughout the US. This is a focus on one in S GA that made news recently..There are ghosts everywhere...

" Chehaw Village along New York Road in Lee County is an unassuming picnic spot with a lot of untold history.

"The young men, the warriors from that group joined the military to help fight the United States military to help fight the Seminoles, to help bring the Seminole rebellion down," said Tripp Robbins, South Georgia Paranormal Investigator Lead Investigator.

A marker placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution only tells part of the story.

"The Georgia militia came through here and killed several of the women and children and old elders in this particular area," said Robbins.

South Georgia Paranormal Investigators want to know the whole story, so they're going to the source, so to speak.

"Mainly what our focus is is to document what's there or document what's possibly there, hopefully catch something and bring it to light," said Robbins.

There are no Ouija Boards or seance, using a camera and equipment that measures electromagnetic fields the investigation begins.

"Before every investigation we say a prayer, after every investigations we say a prayer. Every team members is a Christian, we're all God fearing individuals," said Robbins.

The crew spread out, snapping pictures and taking readings, looking for anything that isn't easily explained away.

"I took a picture out here, the last time we were here, of what looked like a wood pile, a fire pile. The first picture nothing, the second picture had what looked like an illuminant in the middle of it and we can't figure out where it came from," said Amanda Hoxsie, South Georgia Paranormal Investigators Tech Specialist.

"My flash light went completely out, her camera died, and about the same time we both got an uneasy, queasy feeling like we were both going to get sick, so we decided to walk away and as we were walking away, I physically got choked," said Michelle Williams, South Georgia Paranormal Investigator Web specialist.

Our own goose bump experience came when the group plugged in it's paranormal puck.

"It takes energy in the air and it converts it into language via a database it already has built into the software, it takes whatever it thinks its saying and turns it into words so you can read it," said Hoxsie.

It translated thousands, Indian, night, words not uncommon for this area, but then it starting reading words including video.

"News. That's the first time it said news, corn, history, see it's really beginning to pick up on things that relate to us," said Hoxsie.

Coincidence?
"Coincidence or something there? Who knows, who's to say? You can't prove it one way or the other, it's just take it how you feel," said Robbins.

Then explain the voices caught in the background of the recorders running the entire time.

"Help me, help me," said a voice.

Or increased readings from trees that are descendents of the trees that stood when the massacre occurred?

"There was a couple of areas where the meter had gone up higher than our normal reading that we couldn't debunk," said Williams. The group knows there will be skeptics.

"The easiest thing to do is tell them, you listen to the voices and you tell me, you explain what it is. If I can't, we go into a situation trying our best to explain away what it is," said Robbins.

For the South Georgia Paranormal Investigators its proof enough something exists at this site, what that is will take further investigation and more research."

TERIREESWANG Has An Experience

An exceptionally talented artist with featured work in the video tells of an experience:

"Every year my German girlfriend host a Birthday party for herself, at her house. We all gather round once a year.

Every year, the photos turn out funny....

Last time as she said "Cheese" and posed with her cake, she had two rows of faces, the ones that were there physically, and another that blurred those faces out and highlighted their own. Some were tall, some not, one had braids with red hair ties. But, all thought they were the only ones there!"

Mysteries And Monsters

The coauthors of a new book were guests on Coast To Coast with George Nooley this weekend.The fascinating research was discussed along with the idea that The Jersey Devil may be a relative of another monster lurking in another remote area.

"George Noory spoke with investigator and author Ed Craft about Mysteries & Monsters. Craft shared his research into an enormous pterosaur-like flying animal that lives in the Congo region of Africa. The Congomatu, a name given by locals that means "destroyer of boats," reportedly comes out at dusk to attack villagers, carry off young children, and overturn boats. Craft suggested that pterosaur cryptids, like Congomatu, may have survived through the epochs (unlike other dinosaurs) because they could fly away from danger. He thinks the Jersey Devil may be related to pterosaurs as well.

Craft provided details from an encounter he had with the Florida Swamp Ape while on a Boy Scout campout. According to Craft, he heard a "blood-curdling scream" then saw a hairy 6-ft tall creature walking through the sawgrass. He said the animal appeared "more ape than human" and did not seem interested in him. Craft entertained the idea that what he saw could have been an escaped primate from a zoo. He also briefly mentioned his work on UFOs and disclosure issues.

Craft was joined in the second half-hour by his co-author Lisa Carmody, "The Deaf Anomalist," who discussed her interest in anomalous investigation and research. Carmody said she had always wanted to be a ghost hunter, and especially hoped to find scientific explanations for paranormal phenomena. She has been to the Tower of London, where some have claimed to see the ghost of Anne Boleyn..."

From the article;

"10. The Toys R' Us Ghost:

Expect more than a Barbie or MatchBox car from the haunted Toys R' Us in California. This modern ghostly delight was built in 1970 over what was once the ranch of Johnny Johnson. Better known as Crazy Johnny in his day, mentally impaired Johnson bled to death after fatally cutting his leg with an axe in 1884.

Now, the crazed spirit has been spotted roller skating through the aisles of Toys R' Us, tapping customers and propelling toys."

Nancy's Enchanted Tree

In the South we often had our own "Crying Tree" or a "Courting Tree" was not uncommon.Just yesterday I found a post about an especially interesting tree: An enchanted tree.

"'Ent' the Magnolia Tree

This pic was taken on June 22, 2009. This Magnolia Tree [in Arlington, Tx] is probably 150+yrs old; if you look at it closely, it seems that there is a small man dressed similar to a jockey coming out of the center of the tree. I've visited this tree many times and feel it is Enchanted, hence, I call this tree an Ent."

Hauntings,"Demoted Angels"

Paranormal investigator and author Scotty Roberts on Coast to Coast AM Radio discussed the nature of demonic forces and hauntings.
He also talked about spirit beings such as fairies, and his work with Tarot cards.

In conducting investigations into ghostly phenomena, he stressed the importance of the credibility of the investigators who use detection devices such as the Ghost Box. He's concluded that ghosts of deceased people do exist-- some are trapped here, some want to communicate, and there are also demonic spirits that want to distract or cause difficulty.



Roberts described an episode of demonic attachment he underwent, in which the apparitions of two scraggly children appeared at the foot of his bed. He recommended Adam Blai's website which looks at demons from a religious perspective.

Beings such as fairies, leprechauns, elves, and elementals could be thought of as "demoted angels"-- they remained neutral in the angelic war, and thus were bound with the Earth, he offered. They may have started out as greater beings, and over time receded in size, influence, and visibility, he suggested. Regarding the Tarot, he said the cards don't always tell you what you want to hear, but rather what you need to know. Starting in July, Scotty Roberts will host a new show on Dark Plains Radio.
