 The Satanist Chaplain
Posted on Saturday, 4 July, 2009| 4:53 | Comments: 0
Patrick Bernauw: In 1891 Joris-Karl Huysmans published his novel "Là-bas" in which he paints a fantasy of Satanism and the occult, such as it was reportedly still practiced at that time in Paris. One of the most sinister figures however, the so-called "canon Docre", turned out to be Louis Van Haecke, chaplain of the Holy Blood Chapel of Bruges...

 Inner demons
Posted on Thursday, 2 July, 2009| 4:24 | Comments: 0
Mark Dohle: I just watched a movie titled, “The man who came back”. It was a movie, a western, which was supposedly based on a legend of a man who suffered a great injustice; witnessing the brutal killing of his son and whose body was flung into a well. Then he was also forced to watch, as his wife was gang raped, after which she was also killed and then she followed her son, being also thrown into the well. There was also a good deal of racial violence against the local population of freed slaves. There was the brutal hanging of o...

 Paranormal Bigfoot ?
Posted on Wednesday, 1 July, 2009| 4:32 | Comments: 2
William B Stoecker: People have always believed the world to be inhabited by a variety of mysterious beings: dragons, demons, angels, elves, fairies, dwarves, gnomes, trolls, ogres, and so forth, and many of these beings were believed to be somewhat human in appearance, or nearly so. Ancient and traditional people drew no sharp distinction between the physical and spiritual realms, and perhaps their understanding of this matter was superior to our own. Elves and fairies (really diffe...

 9-11 New York, lest we forget
Posted on Monday, 29 June, 2009| 4:35 | Comments: 13
Nancy Bradley: Nine eleven, (9-11) Sept 11, 2001, will be known as the worse disaster on American soil caused by outside sources. Being a native New Yorker now living in California, 3000 miles away where there was little I could do, the horrific event hit like an ax to the chest. Not only is New York MY city, it is a place of love and acceptance it is a place of excitement and beauty for all to see and experience. It is a place of the new, and old, art, and musicals, museums, ...

 First-ever photos of God
Posted on Saturday, 27 June, 2009| 4:39 | Comments: 7
Peter Fotis Kapnistos: Perhaps the most incredible space photos ever put on view are enfolded in a great mystery known as "pareidolia." A category of optical illusions, pareidolia is an uncertain impression perceived as something clear and distinct. The astronomer Carl Sagan thought that seeing faces in clouds is an evolutionary trait. "Confirmation bias" refers to the tendency to notice what confirms one's beliefs, and to ignore what disagrees with them.
Some psychologists promote ...

 Slapper: the phantom of Akalai Flats
Posted on Thursday, 25 June, 2009| 4:43 | Comments: 1
Paul Dale Roberts: Cathy Orange meets me at a very unusual spot. She tells me to meet her at Safeway, she has a story for me, plus she has to get her grocery shopping done. I follow Cathy Orange down the aisles, as she selects coffee, cheeses, variety of meats, bread, cucumbers, cereals and everything else that she can fit into her basket.
She tells me that she was waiting for the light rail at 9pm on 12th Street between D and E Streets in Sacramento. This is known as Akala...

 Fighting the monster
Posted on Tuesday, 23 June, 2009| 4:40 | Comments: 10
Mark Dohle: Life is a hard teacher, especially for those who struggle to deepen their relationship with God and to strive to live it. Religion is something that I don’t have a problem with. For me it is necessary, it gives form to the journey, meaning, a story in which as time moves on, deepens, or if not it can become a prison with heavy doors and barred windows, with no way out. The thing about relationships is that in order for them to deepen and mature a number of crisis’s have to be walked through. This is often called the ...

 Lake Owassa UFO adventure
Posted on Sunday, 21 June, 2009| 6:02 | Comments: 1
Nancy Bradley: My childhood at Lake Owassa was rather eventful in a strange and uneventful way. Living in the woods can be boring or fun, depending on if you had friends around, and if there was something to do. Owassa means “Lake Beyond the Hill.” It could not be more amply named, because Lake Beyond the Hill insinuates not much to do, quiet and slow paced, like it or not. At that time as a child my life consisted of exploration. There was swimming, playing cards under a ‘m...

 Down there: a history of Satanism
Posted on Friday, 19 June, 2009| 5:52 | Comments: 2
Patrick Bernauw: In 1890, the already famous French "decadent" writer Joris-Karl Huysmans wrote to a friend that he was looking for "a demoniac sodomite priest" who performed the black mass. He needed him for a new book, now known as "Là-bas" or "Down There"/”The Damned”...
Joris-Karl Huysmans, "J.K." for the friends, had been a naturalist writer and then wrote the "bible" of decadence ("A rebours"/"...

 Owassa Bigfoot
Posted on Wednesday, 17 June, 2009| 4:23 | Comments: 5
Nancy Bradley: Bigfoot has been a mystery since I was a child at our summer cabin on Lake Owassa in New Jersey. Big John Lonewolf, a Ute Indian, one of the few residents who stayed on the lake year round and a seasoned hunter and fisherman told tales of this huge bear like creature he was unable to catch. One thing I knew about “Uncle” John at an early age, was that he was a man of few words, and of those few words, there were no lies or exaggerations. So I knew there was a...
