World within worlds within worlds Posted on Saturday, 17 May, 2008| 3:23 | Comments: 18 Ken Korczak: This is Part 2 of my Ouija board, lucid dream adventure. Readers are encouraged to read Part 1 in you have not already done so. It can be found here. After my cat Trantor attacked the Ouija planchette and sent it careening under the sofa, I got down on my knees to look for it. I got up, pushed the sofa away from the wall, bent down and retrieved the planchette -- and then a series of extremely bizarre events began to unfold. W...

Ouija + lucid dream = strange adventure Posted on Tuesday, 22 April, 2008| 4:28 | Comments: 28 Ken Korczak: It was only a matter of time before my 40 years of Ouija Board practice collided with my 30-year hobby of lucid dreaming. In the lucid dream state, I often meet strange beings and entities of amazing variety. It’s always interesting to try to contact these dream entities later with the Ouija board while I am awake. Today, I tell you about such an encounter. In a previous column, I introduced UM readers to The Restaurant on the Edge of Time. This is an establishment which exists only in the dream world. If you wan...

I created a new world religion Posted on Sunday, 16 March, 2008| 6:47 | Comments: 177 Ken Korczak: A few years ago, I was hired by a mysterious, shadowy group of people, based mostly in Europe, to invent a new world religion, and build it from the ground up. I have to write this carefully because I am bound by a strict professional confidentiality agreement -- and to be honest, I’m somewhat nervous about sharing this story with you. It’s not because I am afraid of anyone, or because I did anything wrong. And it’s also not because I need to protect the identities of my former employers -- that’s because I never learned who they really were. What I do need to keep confidential is the name of the religion I created, because m...

The magnetic Ouija Board and the Helix Master Posted on Tuesday, 29 January, 2008| 3:22 | Comments: 27 Ken Korczak: In my ongoing 40 years of Ouija Board sessions, I have often tried to push the envelope in my attempts to obtain unique communications from other beings in the universe. One day, I was looking at an old Spider-Man comic book from the late 1960s, and I noticed an ad selling something called “floating magnets.” These were supposedly two powerful magnets that could be positioned with their poles opposite to make one magnet float above the other. It immediately struck me that this would make for an interesting Ouija ...

27 Years of Zen destroyed my life Posted on Friday, 28 December, 2007| 3:24 | Comments: 133 Ken Korczak: So I have been practicing Zen meditation every day for 27 years, and it has destroyed my life. Now, when I say “destroyed my life,” that is not a bad thing, nor a good thing. You see, after 27 years of Zen, for something to be “good” or “bad” becomes a very problematic concept. Things like “good” or “bad” pretty much lose their meaning. Even the word “meaning” loses its meaning. So you can already see why Zen has destroyed my life, even though that never really happened. Zen did not destroyed my life because my life was the way it was even before 27 years of Zen, except I didn’t know it. It’s like what Zen maste...

Secrets of the lost Ouija Board files Posted on Tuesday, 6 November, 2007| 4:35 | Comments: 30 Ken Korczak: In a corner of my attic are stacked more than a dozen dusty cardboard boxes crammed with notebooks. The notebooks are filled front to back with thousands of handwritten entries which are the records of 40 years of Ouija Board sessions. The sessions were conducted by a dogged seeker of communication with ghosts, intelligences and entities from “the other side.” That dogged Ouija seeker is me. I chose the world “Lost” in the title of this column because all of those records in those boxes almost never see the light...

The last man of an ancient culture Posted on Sunday, 17 June, 2007| 6:23 | Comments: 13 Ken Korczak: In the northern part of Kittson County, Minnesota, which borders Canada, are the wild woods of Caribou Township. Few people dwell there, but my brother who lives nearby in the tiny town of Lancaster says he knows of a few “old hermits” in those woods.When you write about the paranormal for as long as I have, you develop an intuition about where a good story might be hiding. Whenever I hear about people living in isolation, chances are that something about them is off kilter. So after asking around, I was delighted to uncover this spooky story of an old Caribou hermit who died back in the 1970s.This old man had contact with alm...

Is the force of gravity = the force of love ? Posted on Sunday, 29 April, 2007| 4:29 | Comments: 4 Ken Korczak: He had know her for only an hour or two. They met in the city park at a picnic party of a mutual friend. Now he could scarcely believe she had agreed to go alone with him out into the warm summer night, all the way to the pine-shrouded shores of Hayes Lake State Park, Minnesota. From the moment their eyes connected, all normalcy ended. Both of them instantly perceived that force which powers all reality — love — at its most fundamental level. For them, to obey the love that now compelled them seemed more sane than conforming to the proper conventions of society. Was the American genius R. Buckminster Fuller was right? Maybe lov...

Wizards in the woods ? Posted on Wednesday, 28 March, 2007| 5:41 | Comments: 18 Ken Korczak: Here is an intriguing story told to me by a man from the small town of Esther, Iowa. He says his story is true. Today I share his story with you, and I will let you form your own opinions about what really happened. I have used a fictional name at the request of the man who told me this story. The rugged gravel road that winds like a serpent through the thick forests of Minnesota's Northwest Angle seems especially lonely when you travel it by night in a rattling old pick-up truck. That’s what Duke Rialto was doing one humid summer night in August of 1991. He was headed for a cabin at the Northwest Angle Resort in the tiny ...

Will the result be wonderful, or a disaster? Maybe you are thinking about dumping your boyfriend or girlfriend. A good idea? Wouldn’t it be great if you could know for sure? Or let’s say you are considering investing your life savings in a new business venture. Will it pay off big, or will you end up losing everything and ruining your life? Or how about this: You ar...
