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 »

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 »

While some people cringe at the notion that Bigfoot and distinct Fortean high-strangeness might somehow go together, I most certainly do not! Indeed, I have investigated numerous cases that suggest whatever the Bigfoot creatures may be, there seems to be an aspect of the phenomenon that takes us into some very strange, and near-paranormal, realms.

And, in view of this, I’m very pleased to learn that there’s a new book out right now, courtesy of Stan Gordon, that delves into these very areas. Here’s all the data on what looks to be a fascinating book!
