Why we never talk about the miracles that come during suffering
Dec. 2011
by Julia Finley
Think what you must — they are “delusions” brought on by stress; “strands” let out by a strained mind — but truth be told, our dismissals are how we avoid touching the areas of life we do not understand, not coming anywhere near it.
The observer is stumped too, but without the luxury of these easy dismissals. After catching a glimpse of the unknown — the part of reality that exists beyond the veil, peaking out for a moment to smile warmly, then everything returns as it was — the observer is left to wonder what to do with a miracle.
“Witnessing” is largely out of the question. If they do “witness”, it has to be what people want to hear; if the observer insists on naked honesty, it is signed ‘anonymous’. I remember two “witnesses” that were nakedly honest, but only because I was in a position where I had earned their trust.
The first was an old nurse turned teacher, somewhere during my interest in a medical profession. The topic “Dealing with Loss & Suffering” had come up in our class, but the lecture soon turned to intimate feeling and experiences. Twenty minutes in, the teacher confessed an amazing personal experience with loss and suffering:
“Some years ago, my dad was really sick in the hospital. It was incredibly hard on me because dad and I were close. Then one night, when I came home from the hospital, I sat in my bed and something happened. I looked up and saw clouds opening, right in the ceiling, and light shined down upon me. I heard a voice which told me not to cry and worry; everything is all right. Then it told me that my father was going to die, and that my mom would pick up the body on Tuesday. My father passed away that very weekend, and my mother did arrive to take the body on Tuesday.”
The story she recounted made a large impression on my views and assumptions. How can we be so ignorant? Doesn’t anyone know more about this? How do I learn, without being regarded as crazy? I began to recognize how many mechanisms exist in society, to sensor spiritual experiences.
In another, my own dear family member was going through her medical crisis; during a stroke, she witnessed:
“Shortly after my hospital bed was wheeled into an elevator, I had a stroke just before reaching the 6th floor. I couldn’t move. Four ladies around my gurney told me to stop struggling; what I needed to do was calm down. I wanted to speak to my daughter, so I kept struggling. One of the women told me she was watching over me, do not worry. She was shaped like a pear — I don’t remember extremities, just her pear shape. When I spoke about the four ladies later with my daughter, she informed me there were only two persons on the elevator.”
Now I understand something. Our closed minds close off supernatural encounters, and foil the mission of their occurrence: impact. Again, these stories left profound impact on me. They arrive at trying times, not as products of stress, but as reassurance that life is still beautiful, even when it rains. The best thing a listener can do with these amazing recollections, is to contemplate the timing and purpose of the higher power. It could be that they arrive at that time on purpose, when we most need intervention, when it could change our views of life and reality forever.

IT’S FATE FOR PARANORMAL TEAM
THE RED-HOT PRODUCER OF the Paranormal Activity film franchise and the team behind A&E’s unscripted series Paranormal State are about to become strange bedfellows. Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions and Picture Shack Entertainment’s George Plamondon and Betsy Schechter have optioned rights to Fate magazine, a long-running chronicler of the odd and unexplained, with an eye toward mining its library of thousands of stories for television and film. Fate, founded in 1948, tells tales of flying saucers, close encounters, poltergeists and more. The cult magazine, based in Lakeville, Minn., has served
as a well of inspiration for Plamondon and Schechter in creating various series, including Animal Planet’s paranormal docuseries The Haunted. Launched by Amazing Stories editor Raymond A. Palmer and Curtis Fuller, Fate has published first-person accounts of the macabre as well as investigative features and the occasional story debunking dubious claims. “Whether you believe or not, if you watch someone who believes, it’s fascinating,” says Plamondon. CAA introduced the Picture Shack duo to Blum, whose Paranormal Activity 3 has topped $100 million at the domestic box office (he’s also prepping ABC’s mystery thriller The River for midseason), and the three decided to team. Adds Plamondon, “There’s a level of fear we explore that Jason explores as well with the scripted projects he’s done.” — Lesley Goldberg

Yoda from a Tribal Perspective
On November - 4 - 2011
by Frederick Anderson (Onefeather)
Harkening back to May 25, 1977, I clearly remember opening day and my first encounter with the epic saga, Star Wars. For me it was the perfect theater experience; school was not yet out (no unsupervised kids) and there were only a handful of people that arrived for the matinee show. It was almost like my own private screening. A week later lines were around the block and I would have been inclined to balk at the claustrophobic conditions of a “packed house.” Yet the seed had been planted and I eagerly awaited each subsequent episode of the series.
When episode two came along, I was enchanted with the character Yoda, an archetypical expression of the wisdom keepers and spiritual masters from our collective consciousness. He rang true as one of those unique souls that remain present in all situations, comprehends what is happening, and is open to receive understanding from some benevolent higher force known as “the Force.” He was the epitome of tribal consciousness; organic, intuitive, and connected to the Universe he inhabits.
Who Is He?
So, who was Yoda? Where did he come from? Here are my thoughts on the matter.
If we look back over the history of our human experience, mankind is brilliant at self-undoing, and just when the crap is about to hit the fan, we somehow collectively manifest an avatar, an individual that causes us to awaken enough to not implode and go the way of the dinosaur. It comes with an inspired vision and unfolds through a central figure that puts a bend in the river of human experience.
Vision Seekers
Siddhartha had a vision of man’s potential and became the Buddha; Jesus had a similar vision and became the Christ. Granted, these are supreme examples of the phenomena but, to a lesser degree, every stage of human evolution has had the vision seekers who share their impressions of what man can become, of what we are capable of accomplishing, and how we can become our own salvation. George Lucas had a similar vision and he named it “Yoda.”
For those who were not present during the times (and the 10 or 15 years prior to Star Wars), America and the world were experiencing turmoil, identity crisis, and a common lack of vision. Small numbers of us found Alan Watts or Yogananda, mystical Christianity and archetypes in other world religions, but the greater public had nothing to attach their sense of morality, empowerment, and purpose to. Yoda appeared and a cult became a movement with a shared ideal of how we can, as a person and a society, become our own “Hero.”
Now, looking back through the years as technology tipped the size of our global identity and communication has become enhanced to the degree that we’re able to have instantaneous conversation with people 12,000 miles away, I feel edified by Yoda’s calm, deliberate dictate that “we can do this.” We can become the destroyer of worlds or the unifying Force for evolution and harmony; we need but decide which side of the Force we will take a stand with.
Thanks, George (and Yoda), for hitting the “refresh button” and creating a clan of people who are awakening to their own empowerment, finding new belief in all the possibilities that are available to humankind here on planet Earth, and seeking new outcomes to old issues that we’re being called upon to transcend.

Breakthrough at Skinwalker Ranch?

An investigation into the unexplained incident mutilated cows and vandalized property.

October 2011
In UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies, and Realities, author John B. Alexander Ph.D., a former Green Beret commander and developer of weapons at Los Alamos, New Mexico, elaborates upon a mystifying event that we first read about in Hunt for the Skinwalker: Science Confronts the Unexplained at a Remote Ranch in Utah by Colm A. Kelleher Ph.D. and George Knapp.
For readers unfamiliar with the narrative of the so-called “Skinwalker Ranch,” Terry Sherman purchased this 480-acre property near Fort Duchesne, Utah in the summer of 1994 with the intention of starting a cattle ranch business. Terry, his wife Gwen, and their son and daughter, fled the property in May of 1996. A succession of terrifying occurrences on their ranch had left the family anguished and afraid. If I were forced to limit my personal library to a single book about transient anomalies, Hunt for the Skinwalker would be my hands-down choice. Enter the National Institute of Discovery Science (NIDS). Founded in 1995 by real-estate developer and aerospace entrepreneur Robert T. Bigelow, NIDS was established to research and advance scientific study of anomalies. Read the rest of this entry »
Where is the Real Story Behind the Amityville Haunting?
On October - 5 - 2011
By Rosemary Ellen Guiley
FATE Consulting Editor
The horrible, demonic haunting that drove a family out of a house in Amityville, New York in 1976 ranks as one of the most famous cases in paranormal history. “The Amityville Horror,” as it is known – now a trade-marked term – has been the subject of books, sensational films – and unending lawsuits. Now, says Christopher Quarantino, one of the children involved in the case, there is much more to the story – occult practices conducted in the family — and he has decided to talk about it.
“This isn’t just me coming up with a new twist on the story,” Quaratino told FATE. “This is me telling what I really know.”

Quaratino, forty-three, was seven years old when his family moved into the cursed house on Long Island, New York, in December 1975 with his recently wed parents, mother Kathy Lutz and stepfather George Lutz, and two siblings, Daniel, nine, and Melissa, five. All three children were Kathy’s by a previous marriage. The Lutzes purchased the empty house because it was a bargain, and they knew the reason why: In 1974, horrible murders had occurred there. A twenty-three-year-old man named Ronnie DeFeo went through the house one night with a .35-caliber rifle and shot to death his parents and four siblings while they slept in their beds. De Feo was convicted of six counts of murder and sent to prison.
Almost immediately after moving in, the Lutz family experienced oppressive and unpleasant phenomena that rapidly escalated over time. They called in a Catholic priest to bless the home, and unknown voices told him emphatically to get out. Family members were plagued by bizarre swarms of flies, apparitions, noises, weird phenomena, nightmares and depression.
In the late afternoon of January 14, 1976, only twenty-eight days after they moved in, the family was so terrified that they left in a hurry leaving all their belongings behind, with the exception of a few changes of clothing.
The case was investigated by Hans Holzer, demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, members of the American Society for Psychical Research in New York City, and others. The Warrens pronounced the activity demonic in nature.
In the aftermath, book and film rights were sold, and the story became a best-selling sensation. Lawsuits were filed over claims and rights, and went on for years. Skeptics and debunkers criticized the case, but George and Kathy Lutz, who are both deceased now, stuck to their story to the end of their lives. Amityville became a paranormal juggernaut, generating more books and films. As the original story became exhausted, fictional elements increased.
One question often asked is, were the family members targeted as innocent victims by dark forces related to the house, the murders and even the land, or was there something more behind it all? In 2005, upon the release of a remake of the original The Amityville Horror film, Quaratino alluded to an undisclosed paranormal problem brought on by occult rituals and practices, which may have attracted dark forces that followed the family from the Amityville home. “George Lutz brought the troubles on himself (and our family) by dabbling in the occult, it wasn’t just the house that was the problem,” he said. “That’s why ‘it’ followed us.”
Some of the principals involved beyond the family, including some of the investigators, were aware of the occult practices, but the information was never widely known.
Quaratino said he felt compelled to speak out in the wake of announcements of three new Amityville sequel films by three separate movie companies, each adding twists to the story. However, he will not discuss details while the new films are in production.
Hannibal Classics is making Amityville Legacy in 3D. The Weinstein Company is developing The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes for theatrical release in January 2012. The Asylum will release Amityville Haunting on DVD in December 2011. The Asylum is advertising that footage is “real.” The theme of the film is, the family did not survive, but “recordings” did.
Qauratino said he is weary of Hollywood taking fictional liberties with the story, lives of the family, and his own experiences. He plans his own feature length film to tell the real story as he sees it, especially to a generation probably not familiar with the original case and to the masses that have before them been exposed to the story with all the inaccuracies.
He is raising funding for his film, starting this Halloween Eve, October 30, with an online pay-per-view “fireside chat” event in which he will tell one real-life creepy story, about the “demons of his past” and his frightening experiences in his present home in Phoenix, Arizona, which seems to be haunted because of a suicide on the property. The live webcast will air 9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific, and will thereafter be available on demand.
Quaratino said he has challenged Hollywood that he can tell a creepier story, and is asking the public to weigh in with votes. For more information, visit www.amityvillehorrorchallenge.com or www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Amityville-Horror-Challenge/164647713600246.
FATE has not contacted others originally involved in the case, pending further disclosures from Quarantino.

Burning Man
On September - 30 - 2011
For the first time in the history of Ireland, a coroner has determined that the cause of a strange death was spontaneous human combustion. This rare paranormal condition by which a small portion of body remains after being incinerated in a fire that does not spread and has no obvious source of ignition goes back at least 300 years. In December 2010, the charred body of a 76-year-old Irishman was discovered in his apartment that appeared to have been left completely unscathed by the conflagration. West Galway coroner Dr. Ciaran McLoughlin was quoted as saying in court: “This fire was thoroughly investigated and I’m left with the conclusion that this fits into the category of spontaneous human combustion, for which there is no adequate explanation.”
