GHOST HUNTERS

  Easter Island in the South Pacific is an ongoing mystery to many.   What happened to the Rapa Nui people?  Did they get visitors or were they visitors themselves?  Why did they construct these enormous Moai statues or did they? What's with this supposed battle researchers claim occurred there between two groups? It's believed the Rapa Nui settled the islands around 1200 AD.  The first recorded contact with outsiders   that was officially noted   was in 1722, but in 1770, the Spanish arrived and claimed it as their own.  They brought with them syphilis and other diseases the people had no immunity to. Moai statues were supposedly created by the Rapa Nui around 1200 CE (AD) and supposedly carved to represent their ancestors, but this was disputed by other researchers who say the Rapa Nui were the second migration to Easter Island.   Legends say the long-earred ones (white skinned, red-haired, elongated earlobes) were first migration to Easter Island and built the Moai statues w

I have been watching Scott Shoyer 's writing for six years now and I am so impressed by his creativity, grit, and natural talent. His second book in the Outbreak series is out - yahoo! The first book Outbreak: The Hunger had me riveted. I would love to see this one in a movie! The new one in the series, Outbreak: The Mutation.   Outbreak: The Mutation , Volume Two in theTrend-Bucking Zombie Trilogy, Releases a Deadly, Unstoppable Zombie Horde on the World—Hailed as “A Frightening, Violent, and Gory Un-Dead Story” Masterfully crafted by Scott Shoyer, The Mutation, the powerful second volume in the Outbreak trilogy, continues to break the stagnant mold of zombie fiction as it ensnare and brings readers along in a deadly last chance attempt to save the world from complete annihilation. The Mutation takes place two years after a deadly virus swept across the world. Not only does Shoyer have his readers follow two groups of people as they fight for survival, but he again takes readers

The hardest part of human existence is both understanding our mortality and understanding our attachments to others and to our process of having a life. Spirituality is a natural result of that consciousness, as we need to make sense of something so utterly unfair as death. Where does the soul go?  Some call it Heaven, others say there is no soul. It is all determined by spiritual and religious beliefs, but what is the actual location of the soul? I am reminded of something my father told me about my Grandfather Thorvaldsen (who died before I was born). He said that Grandfather was a very well educated society member in Norway, spoke several languages, and contemplated life. He believed in reincarnation and that we actually choose the life we want to enter, in order to be sure that we face a trial that we have yet to master by the soul. When things have not gone well in my life, I recall that concept. What if our souls refine themselves by choosing challenges that round our experiences

OOPART: Out-of-place-artifact. Found high up on a mountain in Montana by two men bear hunting, this little rock carving was found partially buried in the ground. It is quite intriguing for many reasons, the main one being, it is not a style utilized by Northwestern Tribes. It appeared to be broken off of some larger entity that it was a part of and the stone was of a kind quarried about 10 miles away.  The dotted eyes and pursed lips and angle of the nose arch to brow reminded me of moundbuilder artifacts from Grave Creek, WV. It also reminds me of the Etowah Mounds artifacts from Georgia. When we find such styles around the US and they are ancient, as well as finding similar styles mimicked in Mayan and Aztec work, we have to believe there was a prior culture. We have already found remains in the Carolinas dating man back 50K in the Americas. It seems like some kind of viper head atop of it, wrapping around it? Full lips It gets stranger when you turn it over and on the rough side, y
