I remember that balmy summer evening in 2006 as if it were yesterday: suburban noises echoing in the warm outside air, dogs barking, the excited laughter of children, and the distant sound of cars and motorbikes snorting past in the merriment. I sat alone in my sitting room, meditating quietly on the joyful sounds outside in my neighborhood. The clock on the mantelpiece told me that it was just after 7:00 p.m. The television was switched off, and my mind gently surrendered to a quiet smoothness of contentment. From time to time,my eyes wandered to gaze at the familiar objects in the room: the small statue of Buddha on the mantle, the family photographs, and finally the large, colorful tapestry of a proud American Indian chief wearing a fabulous headdress of feathers.

Vyktoria Pratt Keating Interview

It was in the city of Sedona, where Vyktoria Pratt Keating performed her mystical harmonies, that something amazing happened that would alter her perspective and her music forever. Although she had played many shows before, this would be the first time that her audience connected with her on a level that went far beyond previous experience. As an artist, Keating is an intellectual and metaphysical visionary with a down-to-earth style.

Deaf Bill
My name is Wayne Hensley and I do the haunted tours in Alton, Illinois, at the old Mineral Springs Hotel (now a mall), with my co-workers Janet Kolar and Crystal Beacon, and I also own the barbershop in the building,which I have operated for the last 28 years.

The Mineral Springs Hotel sits near the Mississippi River.Years ago there was an island near the Missouri side call McPike Island. During the Civil War it was home to Confederate prisoners of war who suffered from smallpox. The island disappeared while the Alton Dam was
being built in the 1930s. The water level rose and it was washed away. Read the rest of this entry »

What would you do if an eight-foot tall glowing, handsome male being appeared in front of you?

As a young married housewife, Judith Darlene was stunned, nearly in shock, and speechless.

This radiant being, who called himself Ramtha, became a very important part of this woman’s life and spiritual development. She is now known throughout the world as JZ Knight, and has come a long way from a hardscrabble life in the South. She was born in 1946 in Roswell,  New Mexico, and moved with her family to Texas where work in the cotton fields provided a meager sustenance, living in a state of poverty in a poor shack.

JZ grew up with many hardships and obstacles. Loneliness, disease, and prejudice were some of her teachers. She has been married three times, and has two sons.

Nazis in South America

Hitler allegedly fled to Bariloche, Argentina following WWII.

On Sunday, July 11, 2004, the Chilean newspaper Las Ultimas Noticias published a brief interview with an author whose book had created a stir throughout South America. Abel Basti’s Bariloche Nazi openly suggested that the German Führer Adolf Hitler did not die in a Berlin bunker, but managed to escape to South America along with his mistress Eva Braun. Both spent their last days in the Argentinean mountain resort of San Carlos de Bariloche in the Andes.

According to Basti, Hitler died in 1960. No date for Braun’s death has been put forth. One of the locations identified as a hideaway for Hitler in Argentina is the San Ramón estancia or ranch, owned by the German principality of Schaumburg-Lippe. Another is the Inalco Mansion on the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi.  Hitler’s days in Argentina were apparently uneventful. He went for long hikes along the shores of Nahuel Huapi and took in the clean Andean air. His trademark mustache shaven and his hair gone gray, the architect of millions of deaths had settled down as a householder.

If Hitler did, in fact, live out his final years in South America, how did he get there from the bunker in Berlin where he is believed to have committed suicide? Read the rest of this entry »

Tank, Mary Beth Nelson's pug guided to her by her deceased aunt.

I grew up with Boston terriers and I absolutely love the breed, as did my mom, Catherine Lee, and my aunt, Mary Simmons, who was like a second mom to me. I have fond childhood memories of Pug, my first Boston, as well as Princess who helped me grow to adulthood. Princess passed away in 1989 at the age of 15 at my mother’s home. By this time I was married but my husband and I had a third floor apartment and Princess loved her yard at the house so we would just visit.

On December 22, 1991, my mother passed away. I had a vivid dream where she talked to me and said she had to go on because there was still a lot of work to do. The living experience intense sorrow because our loved ones, whether in human or animal form, aren’t physically in front of us to hold a conversation, to hug or to pet. However, I know they are with us in spirit form and able to communicate in a different way. Read the rest of this entry »

Teddy Roosevelt during his time as a rancher.

Just 100 years ago, Theodore Roosevelt was the country’s chief executive and favorite son. His personality was larger than life. His exploits captured people’s imaginations worldwide. After the death of his first wife in 1884, Roosevelt spent two years as a rancher and hunter on his ranch in the Badlands of Dakota Territory. He climbed down from the saddle long enough to pen three books during this period. In 1893, he published a lengthy and most entertaining narrative entitled The Wilderness Hunter: An Account of the Big Game of the United States and Its Chase with Horse, Hound, and Rifle, a memoir of sorts of his days in the territories. Among the stories recorded here is what seems to have been a 19th-century Bigfoot encounter. Read the rest of this entry »

In 1362, the Norse who had settled in Greenland migrated hundreds of miles across the ice and snow to James Bay at the southern end of Hudson’s Bay in Canada.

This migration was documented in the oral history of the Lenape Indians and rediscovered in the 19th century. Scholars have always felt strongly that readers from high school to adults should know more about this true history of America.

Now author Myron Paine has narrated this fascinating history in two fictionalized accounts called Frozen Trail to Merica. They are Vol. I, Talerman, and Vol. 2, Walking to Merica.

Scholars with previous knowledge of these events are grateful that these books have been written, and many people prefer to learn their history from exciting novels rather than a dry relation of events in a formal textbook.

Every day, more evidence of the Frozen Trail story is turning up. The 1720 Carte Du Canada (Map of Canada) shows the largest Christian settlement in North America was around James Bay, just as the oral histories predicted. Read the rest of this entry »
