Cave of Red-Haired Giants

Paiute tribes told of an ancient giant people as tall as 12-feet with red hair. These huge warriors fought against them and were fierce and powerful. The Pauites told settlers that when there were only a few of the giants left, they chased them into a cave where they filled the opening with brush and burned it. At one point, an earthquake covered the opening of the cave.  In 1911 in the Lovelock Cave in Nevada, the cave was unearthed and the bat guano which turned to saltpeter was used for gunpowder and so mining began inside. It was 13 years later when they came across some of the debris not tossed out. This contained a female and a male skeleton with red hair. The female was 6-1/2 feet tall, the male was 8-feet tall. ( from a great post on this subject ) As the excavation of the cave progressed, the archaeologists came to the inescapable conclusion that the Paiutes myth was no myth ; it was true. What led them to this realization was the discovery of many broken arrows that had been

Dale the Doll: A Face Only a Maker Could Love

I know what humans think of ventriloquist dolls; that we are dummies. We are anything but dumb! Our comedians would not be able to come up with good material without our psychic input. We feed them the lines. They do not feed them to us.  Humans seem to think that we dolls are creepy. That is far from the truth! We actually are beautiful in the eyes of our dollmakers. Here are some wonderful examples of how very handsome we can be -

Planet X: Nibiru

( Wikipedia ) The Nibiru cataclysm is a supposed disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large planetary object (either a collision or a near-miss) which certain groups believe will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in this doomsday event usually refer to this object as Planet X or Nibiru. The idea that a planet-sized object could collide with or pass by Earth in the near future is not supported by any scientific evidence and has been rejected as pseudoscience by astronomers and planetary scientists.[1] The idea was first put forward in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, founder of the website ZetaTalk. Lieder describes herself as a contactee with the ability to receive messages from extra-terrestrials from the Zeta Reticuli star system through an implant in her brain. She states that she was chosen to warn mankind that the object would sweep through the inner Solar System in May 2003 (though that date was later abandoned) causing Earth to undergo a pole shift that would destro

Sleep Time - Spirit Wandering Time?

Just as you're falling asleep, in that wonderfully blissful relaxed state, your entire body takes on a rushing sensation as if you are free falling; you startle, your body jumping, as you come awake with a protective reaction. You have just experienced something 70% of all people do at some point - a hypnic jerk. The "Silver Cord" is a term used to explain a kind of psychic spiritual strand of light that holds our spirit to our body. When that cord is severed, we are fully dead, but those who experience NDEs feel a sense of separating from the body and then when returned to continue their physical life, they are snapped back into the body by this bungee-like silver cord that startles them, awakening them. Those who practice astral projection (the practice of having one's spiritual body leave their physical body), will tell you that they can always come back to their body because unless the body is dead, the cord is never severed. In near-death experiences, the people

Indiegogo Project

I've talked about places like Kickstarter and Indiegogo here. They make it possible for groups or artists or whoever is undertaking an endeavor the chance to get funding from the public. It's a fun way to contribute to research, industry, art, film, and other projects and also get a little something out of it. Each level of contribution offers you different rewards. In fact, my favorite movie I've seen in many many years, "Letters From the Big Man" was funded through this by the public. The one I'm going to tell you about now is one I've been following on Facebook, a group calling itself Genesis Quest. They are very much into learning the secrets of ancient clues of potential alien involvement in our world or mysteries that have yet to be solved. They are working on funding a project to perform DNA testing on the Peruvian elongated skulls.   Follow them on Facebook and check out their IndieGoGo project. You might just want to contribute. I find what they&#

Ghost Hunters New Teammate

"Don't Feed the Apparition" TAPS promises to have captured the most compelling evidence yet tonight at Louisiana's Alexandria Zoo.  This episode will also have their new member, Ashley Troub. There are hints that they might start using new equipment and shaking up their investigation style. Are they finally listening to viewers who are bored and tuning out from the mundane, routine, and the lack of growth in the field? One can hope so, but considering all the new members they could bring to their team, experts in sound, video, equipment design, engineers, scientists, we get another puppy? I remain doubtful they are headed in the right direction. 

End of Times: Zombie Drugs!

Synthetic drugs are whack! Just look at Krocodile from Russia that makes your skin eat away, turning you into a zombie in appearance. How about turning into a zombie in actions? Well, that’s what Bath Salts and Spice, synthetic drugs including a synthetic marijuana will do. **WARNING--THIS IS GRAPHIC** There is a Russian drug called "Krokodil" that is a synthetic homemade opiate many times more powerful than heroin. You think the drug biz is a disgusting thing--this is as bad as it gets. It not only makes the mind into a zombie, but it also eats the flesh of the user. Photographs of late-stage krokodil addicts are disturbing in the extreme. Flesh goes grey and peels away to leave bones exposed. People literally rot to death. In Missouri this time, a woman on bath salts went ballistic and bit a neighbor. The neighbor said he'd seen her do some crazy stuff, but her biting his arm was the tops. She then dropped onto all four and began digging the ground like a dog. Whe

Bigfoot Diaries: Thanks For the Stuff

  Missing a shovel? Wonder what happened to the kids shoes left at the sand pit in the backyard? Care what became of the ice cooler that fell off the top of your station wagon as you raced down the rural highway?  Hey, thanks for the stuff.  Some of it can be useful. Some of it, we're still not sure what to do with, like this -   Or this - and we have had animated discussions about this one- My brothers think they know what they are, but I have my own theories.  The first one is obviously the skins of the humans they have slain. When I see these hanging outside an abode, I don't mess with them.  That round floating object is a false friend. I have seen the young ones pulling them on strings and my theory is that these lonely tykes are pulling a make believe friend along. The last thing has had me baffled for a good long time. It's clear, thin, delicate but strong. One of my brothers says it is the skin of a human-made snake, some kind of engineered killer reptile. My other

NASA's strange anomalies on film

There are even rumors that NASA quit going into space with the space shuttle program because they know something - that we do not need to go out in our expensive and inefficient spacecraft when the aliens are coming here instead. In other words, we don't need to reach for the stars, the stars will reach for us! **tonight on Syfy is Face Off and Hot Set--don't miss!**

Dale the Doll Is Losing It

It's getting to be that time of year again when my sidekick ventriloquist doll, Dale, begins to be possessed by the dead magician's spirit and tries to drive me insane with his mischief. This year, it would appear, he's fixated on my alter ego, Liz the Zombie, from my Zombie Housewives of the Apocalypse book. He's determined to turn me into a zombie. Here's a few attempts so far - October is going to be insane and if he writes posts on my blog by stealing my laptop at night, I am not responsible!

Mind Fuck Tuesday: Half Man Cryptids

Are you feeling like a little mind fuck? Well, here's a big mind fuck -- animal/man hybrid reports.  What kind of conclusions can we make about such things if they truly exist ? Well, knowing that humans and animals cannot mate and create offspring, there's only one option - DNA manipulation. Goat Man:  ( listverse ) The Maryland goatman has been seen in Prince Georges County, Maryland, USA, since the 1970s. It is reported as having the lower body of a goat and the upper body of a man. He also has the horns of a goat. He’s about 7 feet tall and 300 pounds. The goatman was first sighted by a couple of lovers who had been making out in their car. The goatman had an ax in his hand, while staring at the couple. He then ran into the woods. A woman reported that she had seen the creature in her backyard while her dog was barking urgently. She was too scared to go outside and found that her dog had had it’s head chopped off, when she went outside the next morning. Lizard Ma

Ancient Giants Theory: Joseph P. Farrell

The easiest way to explain the theory of ancient giants is from an excellent Coast-To-Coast show featuring Joseph P. Farrell. Intriguing theories coming from renowned researcher with a PhD from Oxford University, Joseph P. Farrell presented evidence for a hidden history of mankind that involved tyrannical giants and an elite race bent on genetic mutation. The Greeks, Hopi, Mayans, Iroquois, Aztecs, and the Bible all recorded an ancient war against giants in the dim past. "I was astounded at the parallels between all these very, very divergent cultures,"-- there seems to be some kind of worldwide or civil war against the giants, for different reasons including their sexual practices and/or cannibalism. This "cosmic war" may have involved something far more destructive than nuclear bombs-- torsion or scalar-based weapons that effectively annihilated both sides, he said.  Farrell cited ancient cuneiform tablets that suggest some type of genetic manipulation took plac

Sunday Evening Movie: Gargoyles

Gargolyes. 1972. One of my favorite made for tv horror movies of the 70s. An anthropologist/paleontologist and his daughter, while travelling through the southwestern US, stumble upon a colony of living, breathing gargoyles who in the end only want to be left alone.
