Was the fate of the mighty Titanic predicted in a novel?

Many mysteries surround the death of one of the world’s most famous ships.

She has lain in dark silence for three quarters of a century now, lost in her memories, a prisoner of the ivy blackness that surrounds her. But she is not alone, for she did not die alone. Her death throes claimed the lives of two-thirds of her passengers and crew—1,500 people whose presence was felt by the explorers who finally discovered her resting place. Torn in half, she now lies on the seabed, her innards scattered around her in the desolation.
Once she was a queen, the largest and most beautiful ship in the world. A few lucky people can still remember viewing her magnificence with their own eyes. Fewer still are those who sailed on her and were lucky enough to survive. But everyone, even today, recognizes her name.
She was the Titanic. Read the rest of this entry »

Have you ever wondered what happened to Viorrey, the little Manx girl, who had the world’s most mysterious friend?

by Walter McGraw

ONCE UPON a time, on a tiny little island, in a tiny little house, there
lived a tiny little animal named Gef who made wee-wee on a great big psychical investigator and screamed: “Go away, clear to hell! We don’t want you here.”

Not true, you think? Let me warn you that in the 1930′s one R. S. Lambert,
then of the British Broadcasting Company, investigated Gef and said, “It is impossible to deny  that there is serious evidence . . . for Gef’s reality . . .” And Lambert was called “crazy” but after lengthy proceedings a British court awarded him 7,000 pounds damages, in effect  acknowledging there indeed was good reason to believe in the existence of a talking mongoose on the Isle of Man.

Vampires are a hot topic today, thanks to a number of recent books, movies, and role-playing games. But what’s life really like behind the media masquerade?

At four, “Elizabeth” already knew that she was different  from other  people, though she didn’t necessarily understand why or how. She first tasted blood at age 11. It wasn’t until later that she became familiar with the term vampire. By 15, she was drinking blood regularly, thanks to her first steady donor. Nearly a quarter-century later, she still imbibes about once a week. She doesn’t suck blood from the necks of her willing food sources, however, which is but one of the things you may find surprising about “Elizabeth” and others like her.
Perhaps no other cultural figure has inspired such a wide variety of emotions as the vampire, ranging from fear to arousal, revulsion to envy. The image of this mystical figure Read the rest of this entry »

Exploring the belief in angels, husband and wife team Brad and Sherry Steiger, delve into the misty world of these powerful beings.

December 2007

by Brad and Sherry Steiger

Humankind has been aware that it is a part of a larger community of powers and principalities, seen and unseen, physical and nonphysical, since at least the Paleolithic Age (c. 50,000 b.c.), when primitive artists painted images of supernatural beings on the walls of their caves. As early as the third millennium b.c., the written records of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia recognized a hierarchy of supernatural beings that ruled over various parts of the Earth, the universe, and the lives of human beings. They also believed in lower levels of entities that might be either hostile or benign in their actions toward humans. The Mesopotamians wanted to be certain that they were well protected by Read the rest of this entry »

After encountering Max, an ancient crystal skull, it’s difficult not to leave with a little slice of heaven.

JoAnn Parks with the seven skulls tested at the British Museum in 1996. Max is second big skull from right. Photo copyright JoAnn Parks. Used with permission.

There’s nothing like a wind-whipped, tornado-sky night for a meeting with the famous crystal skull Max.  Lightning, thunder, blown transformers, tree limbs down, pelting rain, pitch black darkness… chaos in the outer world.  Meanwhile, inside the sanctuary at Angel Heights, the country home and spiritual center of Jayne and Chuck Feldman in Upperco, Maryland, Max reposes in calm, eerie light, a doorway to another reality.

So set the stage for my first close encounter and private reading with Max, the most renowned of crystal skulls, authenticated as an ancient artifact hard-carved and polished long ago by a mystery artisan, passed on down through the centuries as a facilitator of all kinds of spiritual experiences.  Meet Max and you come away with Read the rest of this entry »

A young man’s discovery of astral projection.

January 2001

by Marc Sessler

As a young boy living in England, I had a recurring dream. I lived in a large room, on the top floor of my family’s house. At the end of the day, with the sun setting over the London suburbs, I would sit at my windowsill and watch the orange light spill onto the rooftops, shining through car windows and blanketing the damp streets. And in the night, I would examine the skies above, rich with stars and planets, worlds beyond our world. At last, filled with visions of other places beyond this earth, I would Read the rest of this entry »

From all over the world came reports of living creatures falling from the sky. What is the explanation?

May 1958- Vol. 11, No. 5

One day in October, 1912, William W. Bathlot, who now lives in Albuquerque, N.M., was driving a mail wagon in Beaver County, Okla. He was about a mile from the Floris Post Office on his return trip when a streak of lightning shot across the sky.

Bathlot peered out of the open window of his mail wagon and saw a heavy black cloud in the sky with the darkest portion directly overhead.

In a few minutes small objects began thudding down upon the roof of the mail wagon. Bathlot assumed they were hail stones, but as he looked he saw thousands of small objects spraying outward from the roof of the wagon and from the backs of his horses.

They were tiny toads, and they bounced up from the sandy soil like little rubber balls, lay stunned Read the rest of this entry »

SEVERAL prospectors, one day in the summer of 1877, were exploring a series of barren hills at the head of Spring Valley near Eureka, Nev. One of the men noticed a strange object protruding from a high ledge of rock nearby. He investigated and was amazed to find embedded about halfway in the smooth surface of the quartzite what appeared to be the leg-bone of a human being, broken off just above the knee. With the aid of his companions he dislodged the portion of rock that enclosed the bone. Carefully, with their mining tools, they removed the upper part of the encasement.

The rock was as hard as flint and the bones were solidly set in it. The quartzite was a dark red in color while the bones were almost black. When the last of the rocky covering had been removed, the leg-bone and those of the attached foot stood out perfectly, complete with all the toes, part of the femur, the patella or knee joint, tarsus metatarsus, and phalanges, the joint of each bone Read the rest of this entry »

Fires that don’t burn and fires that burn everything.

June 2006

by Scott Corrales

As night settles over the Pampa—the vast expanse of Argentinean flatland that transcends the confines of the province named after it—strange sights are seen by those who make it their business to be up after dark: hunters lying in wait for large boars to appear out of the darkness, lonely truckers making their way along unlit roads to make much-needed deliveries in small towns, and farmers looking for stray animals. The farms known as estancias pepper the emptiness much like stars filling the night sky, separated by many miles between and invisible to each other.

Sometimes, the impenetrable cloak of darkness is broken by an unearthly sight: the sudden appearance of a large dome of light that emerges from the short, scrub trees, casting a blood-red glow over the emptiness, suggesting the sudden start of a prairie Read the rest of this entry »

Lighting struck the tree under which the woman and the cow took refuge- and left an exact image of the cow impressed upon her body.

January 1955- Vol. 8, No. 1

The Indians of the Purgatoire River in southeastern Colorado were well acquainted with the mysterious picture long before any white man entered the country.

There it was, the detailed portrait of the huge animal, on the face of the cliff, overhung by a wall of rock 100 feet high—the short tail extended, ears visible, claws standing out in bold relief, the heavy-lipped mouth open showing rows of ferocious teeth, teeth that easily could crunch bones together with flesh. The picture was not an accidental semblance, but actually more perfect and lifelike than any human art could produce—it was the life-sized representation of a grizzly bear, brute king of the Rockies. At least nine feet in length, this picture showed the terrible yet majestic creature in full stature and strength.

The Indians considered the picture sacred; groups of braves and the medicine men of their tribes often came there to make protective medicine. Not that they were interested in luring the original of the picture into a trap, or even that they desired to have their weapons strengthened for the hunt. Not even the gods of the Indian could protect him against the ruthless beast whose portrait was there on the sandstone cliff. In general, Western Indians never hunted this animal; to them he was a kind of symbol, almost godlike in the terror he inspired.

In our Spring 1948 issue we published an article which outlined automatic writing as a way to contact the dead. Its author believed it was. Now we present the opposite viewpoint. Is it  actually a delusion- a subconscious act?

Winter 1949
by Marguerite Reymond

The orginal illustration for the 1949 article. The caption reads, "The doctor's son knocked the glass to the floor. 'Do you want to kill . . . ?' "

HAVING known dozens of people who were, in some way unknown to them, led into the practice of “automatic writing,” I’d like to state the opposite side from that published in your Volume 1 Number 1 FATE Magazine. (Automatic Writing-Blessing Or Curse? by Mabel Dunham Smith, Spring, 1948 -Ed.)

It may be possible that some few people have been brought to believe in a hereafter through automatic writing, but in the opinion of the writer, it must be a very unhappy existence they face if the things these discarnate entities write about are to be taken for their standard of
life after leaving the physical body.

In studying the history of this sort of thing, the first thing we learn is that every automatic writer is under some kind of an extreme emotional strain at the time of inception. An emotionally upset individual does not respond normally to any mental or physical test. This has been proven by physicians.

This does not mean that everyone who has used the ouija board is mentally ill, but it does mean that such practices are considered very. dangerous by many scientists.

Where there is, motion, there has to be force. Assuming that the force is from the “other side,” how are we to know which force–constructive or destructive- is motivating the hand? The writer’s contention is we do not know and never can.

This statement will be questioned, even denied by those feeling sure they can identify -some Read the rest of this entry »

A perspective on life and survival as transcribed by an animal communicator.

November 2010
by Cathy Malkin-Currea

Editor-in-Chief, Phyllis Galde, holds Isis the newest additon to the Galde household.

The latest addition to the Galde household is a five-foot red-tailed boa constrictor that had been abandoned in an apartment for a month with no food or water. Recently, the snake was interviewed by animal communicator Cathy Malkin-Currea.

Cathy: I feel that the snake is a female. She would like a name that denotes value and healing. She says she is not that old, maybe a couple of years.

Snake: While snakes can go for a while without food or water, it was the climate in the apartment that proved to be most challenging for me. Thankfully, it was cooler rather than warmer. This way I was able to slow my metabolism down and survive without food or water. Had it been summer, I doubt I would have survived.

Cathy: Phyllis says she will foster you.

Snake: This is fine with me, especially with a larger habitat and more rats to eat. I do enjoy your companionship and attention. My biggest wish right now is to be able to move around outside the confines of a cage. I get all kinked up when I can’t stretch out and move. Read the rest of this entry »

“From the forests Bois-chen…will come a maid…who after throwing down the citadels will slay the stag…and will trouble the isles of Britain with woeful sound.”—Prophecy of the Wizard Merlin.

September 1952- Vol. 5, No. 9

Five centuries ago the world was not so different from today. Most of Europe was clouded by the smoke of destruction and threat of annihilation.

In France men lived in daily fear—humbled beneath the heel of the oppressors from England. Vast stretches of the country were laid waste. Weeds and thistles grew in the fields. Villages were abandoned and the people hid in caves. The uncrowned king, Charles of Valois, cowered in the south of France. Daily the French people consulted prophets and seers for a sign—a sign that 100 years of war would cease.

At dawn on April 25, 1429, in the city of Tours, excitement mounted along every street. A sign had appeared. The court of the Dauphin, the Marshall Generals of France and a simple maid called Joan of Arc had come to the city. Read the rest of this entry »

Alien microbes, stowed away on our returning space vehicles, could threaten this planet with deadly danger.

IF GULLIVER TRAVELS, life in our universe may be doomed, or at least altered beyond recognition. “Gulliver” is a one-and-one-half pound instrument package designed to be landed on Mars in a U.S. effort to detect life on our neighbor planet.

The threat that this space probe presents is very real and very understandable. It is the threat of contamination by microorganisms carried to Mars in or on the Gulliver mechanisms. Most biological scientists believe that microorganisms from the earth could survive in the Martian environment, and the environment might allow the earth-organisms to breed and multiply unhindered. Such unrestricted reproduction by even the simplest organism could completely alter the scheme of life on Mars in mere short hours. Read the rest of this entry »

“A deadly thing,” they say, “has fastened on him;

“He has taken to his bed and will never get up again.” —Psalm 41:8,

Book of Common Prayer

"The Vampire" by Philip Brune-Jones circa 1897.

Of all the monsters that haunted our traditional folklore, none has so fascinated the modern mind as the vampire. Man, demon, or some combination of both, the vampire stepped to center stage in our popular culture with the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula in 1897, and his influence shows no sign of waning at the beginning of the 21st century. But as the image of the fictional vampire lives on, we gradually lose sight of the traditional vampire, the vampire of folklore and history, a creature more ancient and more terrible than a thousand Wallachian princes. This monster did not keep a polite distance before the kill like some aristocratic stranger; instead, he was a friend, a neighbor—even the husband who once shared your bed. He was a corpse who returned from the grave to kill. Read the rest of this entry »

Whether you are a seasoned astronomer or just a beginner with a 60-millimeter or larger telescope, if you spend a few evenings of earnest effort using it to check out the jumbled lunar surface, you will soon find that hundreds of features we are supposed to believe are just “big rocks” scattered around scads of lunar craters are not what we were told. Instead, many of them reveal themselves to be humungous structures of definite manufacture, built there (or imported?) by very advanced “selenite” (i.e., lunar) inhabitants. But, while these things are surprisingly easy to see from Earth, they do not show up in our official lunar photos, nor have our space officials ever admitted to their presence. At every opportunity, they still pretend that such things can only be mirages, since our Moon has been found to be lifeless and barren. Read the rest of this entry »

Coincidence? I know my mathematics well enough to realize the impossible odds against so many chance happenings in so short a time.

My forebears believed firmly in the existence of the constants of good and evil. And with evil ever-present, they were equally certain that the personification of Satan himself lurked in our world’s dark places. But I, brought up in today’s cynicism, had decided long ago that a living Satan was as remote a possibility as a dinosaur in my rose garden.

No more. My cynicism is now uneasiness; my certainty, wonder. Perhaps what changed me was coincidence piled on coincidence; I do not know. I’ll tell you what happened, and you may find your own answer. Read the rest of this entry »

They may explain it as “Wee Folk” or – “signs” but they seem to have some amazing precognitions.

By J. Patrick Waring

December 1959

Ever since we emigrated from Ireland 33 years ago my moth­er’s great dream has been to go back for one visit, with one purpose in mind—to kneel at her parents’ grave and pray. She is an old wo­man now, nearing 80, and her dream will, in all probability, never be fulfilled.

I think, though, it indicates she is a person who would be most un­likely to deceive us (or herself) concerning her parents’ deaths. And she has often told us of the “signs” that foretold the passing of both.

They were farm people, living near Bomacatall, Drunquin, in County Tyrone. My brother and I were born there. Their farm was “fairy land”—and my grandfather, who called the Wee Folk by name, saw to it that the fields were work­ed “around” their ancestral haunts. My mother remembers well the Sithean—green fairy mounds—she believes the Wee Folk still use. Read the rest of this entry »

Return of the fu-gos

Over 200 FATE readers have now written to me regarding the cult misrepresentation of the wartime Japanese fu-go balloons which I discussed in these pages about three years ago. Most de­scribed their personal sightings in 1945 and how military officers or FBI agents urged (ordered) them not to discuss what they had seen. Some maintained their silence for decades until they saw my brief ar­ticle.

Those wartime “Men In Black” were mighty persuasive! There must be thousands of other wartime witnesses out there who do not read FATE and are still keeping their ex­periences to themselves. Read the rest of this entry »

Strange sights reported by astronomers suggests our satellite is being explored by an unknown race.

By Samuel Gordon

Science Editor, Washington Daily News

Although it has been claimed that UFOs have been seen on or near the moon, it is the purpose of this article to avoid such controversial reports and, instead, to present observations by orthodox astronomers which prove that the moon is a changing, living world and not a barren, airless, changeless “celestial museum piece.” Indeed, there is strong evidence that the moon currently is being explored by an unknown race.

The origin of the moon is shrouded in mystery. All conventional theories of our satellite’s beginning have serious flaws.

One of the most esoteric explanations of the moon’s origin—not supported by astronomers—is the “Cosmic Ice Theory” which states in part that the earth’s gravitational pull in past ages captured a series of planets, each of which became an earth satellite. In time each moon, spiraling nearer to the earth, disintegrated under the primary’s gravitational tug and plunged down upon our orb as debris. The Cosmic Ice Theory supporters believe that the last such catastrophe occurred some 250,000 years ago, that the then moon broke up into fiery remnants which rained on the earth in particles ranging in size from pebbles to mountains creating the Great Flood of the Bible and resulting in such myths as firebreathing dragons, Satan cast out of heaven, struggles between giants and gods and many other cosmic myths.

The man behind Shakespeare, Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford.

His father was illiterate, as well as his daughters. By all indications, even he was barely able to write his own name more than a few times in his entire life, though awkwardly at that.

His name is William Shakespeare, the most famous and respected in all of literature, perhaps in all time. Six purported signatures of his are known. The oldest is dated no earlier than four years prior to his death, well past the period in which the last of his supposed literary achievements were written. Had he not been virtually illiterate, he could very well have been unknown today. Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., of the U.S. Supreme Court has said, “I know of no admissible evidence that he ever left England or was educated…”

The attribution of supreme literary genius to this otherwise obscure gentleman of Stratford-on-Avon has not escaped doubt in certain quarters from his own time up to the present. Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley (Earl of Derby), Edward de Vere (Earl of Oxford), and even Queen Elizabeth I have each been earnestly offered at one time or other as the author of the plays and poems known today as the works of William Shakespeare.

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.

This niece of the famous horror actor Boris Karloff began playing her favorite Beatles and Bob Dylan tunes at the age of seven. Since then, she has been constantly perfecting her craft. Keating has toured the world with bands such as Jethro Tull, offering her the opportunity to spread her paranormal poetry with gypsy-like finesse.  Read the rest of this entry »
