It's 5 in the morning. Imagine the shock when a dedicated farmer walks out into his fields only
to find leave of the stability in his crops. All of his proudly standing corn stalks and wheat groves
have been flattened into a delicate pattern, bewildering the devoted farmer. He has seen
nothing like this in his life. 'Must be kids' he thinks, scratching his head in bafflement. Upon
calling the local authorities, it is to be said that no one has seen such a disaster upon a mans
crops before. It is and will remain a mystery on what ever happened to this mans crops, and
many farmers crop fields around the world. Some say these elaborate patterns that have been
imprinted onto the earth are from hoaxers; fakers. Hoaxers are simple town children out to have
a good time, a few beers and a fine laugh. Those who do not believe this reasonable theory
believe "crop circles," as they have been cleverly coined, are made by E.T. (extra terrestrials).
This theory also says that perhaps the E.T.'s might be making these strange patterns in the
earth as a sort of mapping system, or even a form of communication with us. No one is sure
whether not these E.T.'s are arriving here on Earth for means good or bad. These theories have
spread like wildfire in the dry summer throughout the entire world, the latter theory standing out
more prominent, and more believed, studied and loved.
When speaking of such things as Extra Terrestrials, most of what is read might sound
something like a foreign language. There is some key terminology that must be known before
reading more on crop circles and such things as Aliens. Some key terminology that some people
might not know include an astronomer, a geiger counter, the terms phenomenon and
paranormal, and intimately extra-terrestrials. An astronomer is a scientific observer of the
celestial bodies. A geiger counter is an instrument that can detect radiation, and is often used in
paranormal investigations. A phenomenon is something that is observable, extraordinary and
sometimes unbelievable and strange. Something that is paranormal is something that is
unexplainable having to do with the supernatural. Extraterrestrials are intelligent life that exists
outside our Earth or Earths atmosphere. Upon knowing some of this key terminology, one may
have a better understanding on the paranormal and then crop circles and will be able to make
their own assumptions and beliefs.
Some may think crop circles are man-made hoaxes. In some opinions, people believe crop
circles are in no way a hoax, or man-made. Yes, there are records that indicate crop circles
have indeed been re-created, but not all of them. Only a very small portion were proven fake
and it was never done since then. People have the firm belief that crop circles are made from
something that is far beyond our comprehension, and we cannot be sure as to what that is yet.
Some people beliefs are that they are made by extraterrestrials. Some people think that this is a
ludicrous idea that shall be automatically tossed out the window and never to be spoken of
again, because of its crazy reasoning and lack of evidence. People are scared to realize that
there may very well be another form of like in our atmosphere other than our green planet called
Earth.
On the other hand, some people believe that crop circles are in fact not made by
extraterrestrials, but are merely made by trouble-makers and hoaxers. These people think crop
circles are made by those who think these phenomenon's are jokes and to be made fun of.
There are recorded cases of faked crop circles, but they only take up the smallest portion of the
group that is the world's occurrences of crop circles. In September of 1991, two men of the
names Dave Chorley and Doug Bower confessed to being the hoaxers of several crop circles
that appeared suspiciously overnight all across England. The men supposedly used "string,
wooden planks and a good supply of beer" (Simons, 22). This bombshell that was dropped by
Chorley and Bower ruined the credibility of crop circles around the world, and stole the heart of
millions, making them believe that all crop circles are hoaxes. Another rumor that continuously
floats around the reason for appearances of crop circles are whirlwinds. These whirlwinds were
spotted by several people, making there ways through Surrey, England and supposedly "when
the vortexes collapsed they carved out circles in the vegetation below" (Simon, 22). It is fairly
possible that these spinning whirlwinds have created similar shaped that crop circles are, but
there is no way that these natural phenomena created elaborate shapes and designs that we
see today. These theories have been around since the early 80's, when crop circles first started
appearing in fields around the globe.
The first crop circles made there debut premiere in the 1980's in southern England. They
were barely noticed other than the occasional farmer, who didn't necessarily think anything of it.
Eventually, crop circles started to appear all over the world, becoming more elaborate and
intricate than just mere geometric shapes. People didn't know what to believe. No one has seen
anything like them before; they were new phenomena that spread across the world in just weeks.
Some didn't know what to think – making accusations as far as aliens and turning back
towards hoaxers. Crop circles not only created a craze on theories and new belief systems, it
also fashioned researchers to dedicate their life to researching these strange affairs. One man
by the name of Jeffery Wilson "has seen at least 130 crop circles since 1996" (Windsor, 2). He
began his interest in college at EMU (Eastern Michigan University) upon hearing on the news of
the crop circles and traveled to see new ones with a geiger counter to research radiation levels.
Wilson has a master's degree in general science and has been investigating crop circles for
almost 20 years. Many people have stuck strong with the belief that crop circles are not man-
made since the first crop circle that has ever been recorded. Crop circles are not man-made and
are made by extra terrestrials because there is outstanding proof that proves otherwise.
There are strong reliable beliefs that crop circles are not man-made, and are created by
something beyond our simple comprehension. There is unedifying proof that some crop circles
simply cannot be man-made. Jeff Wilson of the Independent Crop Circles Research Association
claims "We now have enough scientific evidence to conclude that this formation (crop circle) was
not man-made" (Willett, 2). This quote was said after researching a crop circle on Memorial Day
Weekend in Madisonville, Ohio. Wilson and a team of volunteer researchers traveled to
Madisonville to analyze the crop circle that recently appeared on land owned by a state local.
The team took more than 1,500 samples to assure enough for a proper evaluation. The samples
of wheat that were taken from the site were microscopically analyzed and found with "expulsive
cavities" not able to be made naturally. Also noted, the area within the circle found to have very
high radiation and electromagnetic activity (Willett, 2). These strange characteristics also have
been found in other crop circles upon research.
Not only are the radiation levels and electromagnetic activity higher in the centers of them,
other things have been seen hovering around the crop circles. After enough strange
occurrences took place at the areas that the crop circles were found, NASA decided to stick their
noses in it, too. They send planes with high-speed cameras to see if they can catch anything
strange or mysterious. They coincidentally did discover a new phenomenon. They saw "sprites
and jets, which are red and blue atmospheric flashes" (Windsor, 2) with no explanation, creating
more debate whether or not these are farces or true occurrences. These strange lights have
been seen ever since the 80's when they first appeared. Not only have strange lights been
appearing the colors of red, blue and white, strange noises have been heard and very odd
behaviors of dogs as if they have been threatened of are in fear (Simons, 22). Upon analyzing
all the points that have been proven, most people still believe that crop circles are made by
aliens or extra terrestrials. There are still some who think otherwise, though.
If one actually looks at the crop circles that have been seen around the world, they might
realize it is quite impossible to re-create them. With learning of the sheer complexity of these
crop circles, it is not something that can be so easily created in one night, in the dark, and left
with no trace of humans. There is little evidence of footprints or man-made trails ("Open Mind on
Crop" 1). In the case of the 1980's hoaxers, Bower and Chorley, they claim to use string, boards
and brute force. There has been no true evidence that that has been done. Upon research, it is
said that a great deal of heat has been applied to the stems in these vast fields in order to flatten
them to make such shapes that have been created during the night. There is no way, with
having the knowledge proven true, that a hoaxer could create these crop circles with string and
a board, as they claim. When wheat stems are pushed down, it damages the stems, leaving
residue of broken plants, and a bent damaged stem. With heat, it is possible to flatten the stems
from standing tall the strong to split in half in an immaculate fashion. Some strongly believe
humans do not have the power to do things like this in one night, in the dark, with a string and a
board.
Crop circles are not man-made and are made by extra terrestrials or something not of this
world because there is outstanding proof that proves otherwise. The theory that states crop
circles are made by extra terrestrials still stands proud and tall upon all other theories that float
around out in the world about crop circles. There is outstanding evidence that points to the
theory of Aliens creating them. Many people all around the world believe this hypothesis with full
dedication to the paranormal and the abnormal. When the news came out about the hoaxers,
people's hearts were torn and they didn't know what to believe anymore. That is a sad thing.
There are still some people out there that believe in the supernatural, and that is a wonderful
thing. As long as the belief exists still in this world, the earth and its neighbors may remain
mysterious and interesting, and that's just how it is meant to be.

The word Doppelganger derives from Doppel (double) and Gänger (walker), meaning
someone who is acting/walking the same as another person.
Doppelgangers have been described as having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a
position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally
regarded as harbingers bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelganger seen by a person's friends
or relatives means impending illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelganger is an omen
of death. Supposedly, they cast no shadow and have no reflection. Often, once someone sees
their doppelganger, they are doomed to be haunted by their own ghostly image.
Being closely related is the term bilocation, or multilocation, and is defined exactly as the
name suggests: the ability/instance in which an individual or object appears to be located in two
distinct places at the same instant in time, and which is said to be involuntary in most cases. This,
however, should not be confused with astral projection, which is pereceived to be the spirit or
astral body leaving the physical body to travel into other planes of existance and time. While
closely related, these terms are distinctly different, and each have been reported throughout
history.
What is probably the most famous reported case of a person seeing his/her own
doppelganger is Abraham Lincoln after he was elected as President for his first term. It is said
that, while relaxing on a sofa at home, he looked at a bureau mirror across the room and saw his
reflexion in full length, with two faces, one paler than the other. He saw this several times, then it
disappeared and he never saw it again. He told his wife about it and she determined that its
meaning was that Abe would not live to see the end of his second term.
Saint Padre Pio, a priest and mystic who also was a stigmatic for the last 50 years of his life,
was known to bilocate, most famously during WWII. Padre Pio had promised the citizens of San
Giovanni Rotondo that their town would be spared, and when American bombers were dispatched
to attack the city, Padre Pio was seen by pilots to be suspended in air in front of the bonbers,
impeding them of dropping their bombs in some mysterious way. Later, one of the pilots traveled
to see Padre Pio and confirmed that he was, indeed, the same figure he saw suspended in the
sky that day.
Cases of conscious astral projection are well documented in the writings of ancient Greek
philosophers such as PlatoHerodotus, as well as in the Bible (the Apocolypse of John 1:10-11
and Corinthians 12:2) and is well-documented as far back as the ancient Romans over 4000
years ago.

Stigmata are bodily marks, sores, or sensations of pain in locations corresponding to
the crucifixion wounds of Jesus, and the person afflicted with these marks is called a stigmatic.
Stigmata wounds appear in whole or in part and mimic the five Holy Wounds inflicted on Jesus
during his crucifixion including most commonly wounds in the hands and feet (sometimes the
wrists) from nails and a wound on the left side (sometimes the right) by a lance, but can also
include wounds on the forehead from the Crown of thorns and also tears or sweat of blood which
has been said to smell sweet and perfumed. Some stigmatics have shoulder and back wounds.
Sometimes extreme pain is felt while other stigmatics have what are called invisible stigmata,
whereas there are no external wounds.
The first known mention of stigmata historically was in the writings of Saint Paul in his Letter to
the Galatians where he says "I bear on my body the marks of Jesus." By this, he could have
meant the wounds he suffered from being stoned or he could be referring to wounds he
self-inflicted so that he could experience the same pain that Jesus did upon his crucifixion, known
as piety, which was common during the Middle Ages. The first actual recorded case of stigmata
was in 1222 by a man named Stephen Langton of England, a predecessor to Saint Francis of
Assisi who is the best documented case of stigmata, first appearing in La Verna, Italy, in 1224,
and whose wounds were said to appear as if the nails were still embedded in his flesh.
Most documented cases are very similar, but those afflicted with the wounds has varied
throughout history. Over 500 cases of stigmata have been reported since St Francis of Assisi,
however, no longer are only mystics or religious icons reported; ordinary people, and even those
who are non-Catholic Christians, both male and female, have since been reported to be inflicted
with stigmata.
Exactly why the wounds mysteriously appear (if divine in nature) is up for debate. Prior to the
wounds actually appearing, stigmatics occasionally will complain of feelings of sadness,
depression, weakness and pain. Placement of wounds also varies. It is unclear through religious
and historical writings whether nails were driven through the hands or wrists, or what side the
lance pierced Christ's body. Depending on what is believed, this too can determine the wounds
location on the stigmatic's body. As easily as the wounds appear, they can also heal themselves
without leaving a scar. They never become infected yet remain open to the air, sometimes openly
bleeding, and they do not respond to conventional medical treatment. Sometimes they appear
accompanied by other unusual phenomena such as being able to live without nourishment for
long periods of time as in the case of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1381), who reportedly went
without water for an entire month, and Angelo of Foligno (1250-1309) didn't eat for 12 years
except for Holy Communion offerings.
So how do these wounds appear? Some believe the wounds to be miraculous, a sign from
Christ. Others believe they are caused by religious fanatics who have developed such a strong
desire to associate oneself with the suffering of Christ that they almost "will" it to happen. Another
possible explanation to explain some cases are people with Munchausen disease, who fake
illness to gain medical attention and care. Some believe they are internally generated
phenomena based on the victim's own imagination and subjective in character rather than
something of external divine origin.
Of course, there is the obvious suggestion that stigmata is faked, as in the case of
Magdalena de la Cruz (1487 - 1560) who, upon falling deathly ill in 1543, confessed that her
wounds were faked to appear more pious and deserving of her "sainthood." There have been
some evidence of the use of carbonic acid in more recent cases that were debunked. There are
some in the medical community who claim the wounds can be explained by a psychological
phenomenon known as psychogenic purpura, which results in chronic easy bruising that spreads
into other tissues and becomes very painful. It can sometimes manifest itself in the form of tears
of blood and lesions on parts of the body.
There are a number of possible explanations for what causes stigmata as well as why it
occurs, but interestingly, no instances of stigmata showing wounds through the wrists were noted
before the publication of the photographs of the Shroud of Turin, which showed wounds of this
kind. This supports the suggestion that stigmata is, in fact, generated by the human mind.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle is an area in the ocean where
paranormal disappearances of boats and planes have supposedly occurred. The triangle has
three points: Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. The main disappearance is Flight 19 which took
place in 1945. At first people thought the plane had become victim of the Bermuda Triangle but it
was later found that it ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean.
There are many factors that debunk the Bermuda Triangle. At about 80° west there is a
change in the magnetic field which causes compasses to point directly to the North Pole rather
than to the magnetic North Pole. This could throw an inexperienced pilot or captain off in their trip
sending them out to an unknown destination. Weather is also very spontaneous in this region
due to the Gulf Stream. Cases in the past might have occurred because we didn't have the
weather detection technology we have today. The last factor to debunking the Bermuda Triangle
is ocean depths. If a plane were to crash or boat to sink there are trenches too deep for our most
advanced submarines to get to in the Bermuda Triangle.
My personal opinion of the Bermuda Triangle is that a series of unfortunate events led up to
the creation of this mysterious spot. Yes, there may be ships and planes that have not been
found today but we can't be certain that they are swept away to an alternate plane just because
we have not found them. I am not saying that the Bermuda Triangle is imaginary or that strange
things don't happen here, I am just saying that we can't be 100% sure that these vehicles have
disappeared off the Earth. Only time will tell as submarine technology gets better and we can
travel deeper into our own waters.

This story was written by my nephew, Tristan, for a school paper. He did such a great job, I told
him I would post it on my website, so here it is for your reading pleasure….
The dogman is a very mysterious creature. The legend of the dogman was first in April foolâ
€™s prank about a creature that was half man- half dog. Lots of people have heard of There
are even CDs that tell the legend of the dogman.
The legend of the dogman was created by WTCM radio production director, Steven Cook, in
1987. It all started when WTCM radio personality Jack O’Malley started to seek an April fool
prank to play to his radio listeners. O’Malley sat down and brainstormed with Cook. Cook
finally came up with an idea.
In his youth, Cook was fascinated by such stories as Bigfoot, the Boggy Creek monster, the
Jersey Devil, and other types of “cryptos.� Cook came up with the idea of a creature that
was half man-half dog; the dogman. Cook wrote several verses about its appearance.
A few days before April 1, 1937, Cook played his creation for Jack O’Malley. He thought
it was good but it sounded more like a Halloween song rather than an April fool prank. He
agreed to play it two or more times on April fools day. “The Legend� played for the first
time at 7:40 that morning.
After it played the second time that morning, the phone started to ring. One of the calls
came from a man who said he had seen a creature similar to it years before.
Before the legend was recorded on radio there were several sightings of a dogman type of
creature. Most were in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The earliest sighting in Michigan was in Paris, Michigan, in 1938. Robert Fortney was 17. He
was fishing from the Muskegon River when he saw a pack of large wild dogs emerge from the
woods. When he fired his gun up into the air, the dogs turned back into the woods except one.
The dog had blue eyes. Fortney thought it was strange for a dog. He fired a second shot over
the head of the dog; the dog stood up on two legs and stared at him. He said he could have
sworn the dog was smiling at him. The dog returned to all four feet and followed the pack into
the woods.
Other sightings included one in 1967; two fishermen reported seeing an animal with the
features like a man but had a dog’s snout swimming towards their boat.
In July 1967, Veronica Freels and her daughter became lost while traveling home. On a two-
track in northwest Wexford County, she saw it walking down the track on two legs. It was tall and
hunched over. It was covered in thick, black hair.
There have not been many reported sightings of the dogman in the upper peninsula of
Michigan. Two sightings were reported by Kaleb S. of National Mine, Michigan. He reports in
1980, his mother was carrying dishes from the living room to the kitchen when she described a â
€œhorrible dog demonâ€� looking in the window at her. In order for a man to see into that
window, he would have to have been about 7 feet tall.
Kaleb didn’t take his mom’s story seriously until the summer of 1994, when he saw
the creature himself. Kaleb got tired of waiting for his parents so he walked home himself. He
took a short cut through the old school trail. As he got to the end of his driveway, an ouline of a
figure emerged from the woods. It jumped down from the embankment near his house and ran
across his driveway. He described it as tall, fast, and with a dog-like snout. It ran with its arms
slightly bent in front of itself.
The most controversial evidence is the Gable film. It was shot in the 1970s. It shows a scene
which many believe shows the dogman. Some believe this film to be a joke. After a careful
study by film experts, it was decided not to be an illusion or trick. This seems to be the best
proof that the dogman exists.
In conclusion, the dogman has been claimed to be sighted many times. Steve Cook was not
the first person to think up the dogman, but he was the first to create a radio version. Is it true?
Does it really exist? Or is it just a scary song?
The Legend by Steve Cook
A cool summer mornin' in early June is when the legend began,....At a nameless logging
camp in Wexford County where the Manistee River ran. ....Eleven lumberjacks near the Garland
Swamp found an animal they thought was a dog. ....In a playful mood they chased it around ...'til
it ran inside a hollow log..... A logger named Johnson grabbed him a stick and poked around
inside... Then the thing let out an unearthly scream and came out ...and stood upright. ...None
of those men ever said very much about whatever happened then. ....They just packed up their
belongings and left that night and were never heard from again.
It was ten years later in '97 when a farmer near Buckley was found... Slumped over his plow,
his heart had stopped. There were dog tracks all around. ...Seven years past the turn of the
century they say a crazy old widow had a dream ....of dogs that circled her house at night. They
walked like men and screamed.... In 1917 a sheriff who was out a walkin' ...Found a driverless
wagon and tracks in the dust like wolves had been a stalkin'.... Near the roadside a four-horse
team lay dead with their eyes open wide.... When the vet finished up his examination he said it
looked like they died of fright... In '37 a schooner captain said several crew members had
reported... a pack of wild dogs roaming Bowers Harbor. His story was never recorded....
In '57 a man of the cloth found claw marks on an old church door... The newspaper said they
were made by a dog. He'd a had to stood seven foot four.... In '67 a van load of hippies told a
park ranger named Quinlan... they'd been awakened in the night by a scratch at the winda...
there was a dog-man looking' in and grinnin.' In '77 there were screams in the night near the
village of Bellaire... Could have been a bobcat, could have been the wind. Nobody looked up
there...Then in the summer of '87, near Luther it happened again.... At a cabin in the woods it
looked like maybe someone had tried to break in...There were cuts in the door that could only
have been made by very sharp teeth and claws...He didn't wear shoes cause he didn't have
feet; he walked on just two paws... So far this spring no stories have appeared. Have the
dogmen gone away? Have they disappeared?... Soon enough I guess we'll know cause summer
is almost here.... And in this decade called the 80s, the 7th year is here.... And somewhere in

“The Truth is Out There.� Paramyst was born out of the idea that there has to be
answers out there that other investigators are nearing but not quite getting answered yet.
Since I was a pre-teen, I was ‘into’ the paranormal. I read everything I could get my
hands on, was obsessed with Amityville and the Warrens, and never missed a new Stephen
King book. The Entity scared the bejesus out of me. I had a distant Catholic grandmother on
my father’s side who told me once that by opening my mind to all these things, I was letting
the devil in and would go to Hell. She gave me a little prayer book to carry with me always. I
wish I still had that book; it might come in handy these days! My mother was always taking my
brother and I to church, but when she died, my grandmother tried to find a church that was right
for us. I remember at the Assembly of God church in town, during Bible Study/Youth Group,
somehow the subject came up about the paranormal and I, of course, opened my big mouth, to
which the leader of the group made sure I knew I was going to Hell because I read Stephen
King books. Needless to say, I had no interest in going to church for years and years after
that, until I found my current church. Of course, there was very little information out there in
books, magazines, on TV shows, et cetera, that was real and explained things in a logical
manner. It all seemed so….hysterical and scary. I remember being about 12 or 13 and telling
everyone (after reading about the Warrens investigating the Amityville case) that I was going to
be a paranormal investigator. Not a ghost hunter, mind you, that didnt sound professional
enough. I wanted to be a paraNORmal investiGATOR. Well that day has come and Im thrilled.
It may have taken me 42 years to get here but lets pray it doesn’t take 42 more years to
get some answers!

This is a new theory by one of my favorite paranormal researchers/authors: Vince Wilson. I
have never been so excited about a ghost theory before. Im going to take some information
directly from his book “Ghost Science,� which I highley recommend by myself to all of
you to buy…it's not that expensive and has a wealth of groundbreaking information.
According to VW:
Many haunted locations have areas in them that have brought about human experiences like
the feeling of being pushed down the stairs or the feel of a cold breath down the back of the
neck or a feeling of dread, sadness or some other emotion. The theory of memory possession
claims that these arent ghosts having this effect on you, but rather you are possessing the
residual memories/emotions left over from another person in another time/place. For example,
instead of you feeling a ghostly presence pushing you down the stairs, what you are feeling is
instead what another person felt when they were pushed down the stairs, and you are picking
up on their psychic imprint at the time of the incident.
He backs up this theory by suggesting it is very similar to when a heart donor patient receives a
new heart from someone and immediately begins to change, personalities can change,
emotions can change, even tastes such as food, friends, music, et cetera. Heart donor patients
may even find that they have retained some of the memories of the person they received the
heart from. This is known as systemic memory and is well documented in the medical sciences
as a transfer of information electromagnetically between the brain and the heart. Similarly, if an
area can acquire an electromagnetic resonance (EMR), (for example when someone dies they
can leave an imprint in the area) which is close to or the same as the wavelength and
frequency of the human brain, then maybe they can influence the electrically stimulated
proteins of the human brain that store memory given the right circumstances to do so.
This is how VW feels memory possession corresponds to what we currently know
about haunting types:
Residual hauntings: In a residual haunting, the ghosts are not beings who are aware of your
presence nor do they participate with you in any way. Instead, the phenomena are merely an
imprint on an environment that has somehow managed to replay itself over and over. What if
those imprints are so strong that not only can you see them taking place, but you could also
experience the events as a participant?
Intelligent hauntings: If it is true that when the conditions are exactly right, an imprint can be left
on the environment as a residual event, then in the case of an intelligent haunt, why not an
entire copy/imprint? “Maybe when conditions are right, not only can the events of the past
be saved into an area via EMR, but a copy of a person’s mind!� That is how an
intelligent haunt can seem to interact and respond to it’s environment, although it cannot
retain information because the copy is just that…a hard copy….it cannot be added to but can
answer questions, et cetera, for EVP work.

ley lines
memory possesion
the truth is out there
the dog man
the bermuda triangle
stigmata
dopplegangers
crop circles
Theories vary today as to what ley lines actually are, however, many suggest and or believe
that they cover the earth in a geometric pattern, are magnetic or electrical in nature and
resonate high levels of energy. They intersect around the earth to form triangles. The points
of intersection are called vortices and are said to have much higher energy levels than in
other areas. Scientific electromagnetic field mapping of today is beginning to show a
correlation between ancient ley line mapping and modern electromagnetic fields maps.
The theory of ley lines begins in 1922 with Alfred Watkins, a businessman, trader and amateur
archeologist as he was sitting on a hill in Herefordshire, England. He found himself suddenly
struck by the fact that sites of historical or spiritual significance, churches, burial mounds and
standing stones like Stonehenge were aligned in perfect straight lines. Probably because he
was a trader, he came to believe that these lines were evidence of prehistoric trade routes.
He then published his book called “The Old Straight Track”. Since the publication of this book
however, many more theories have been suggested. In fact, the idea that earth is covered
with lines of energy is not only found in Western Europe. In the Aboriginal culture of Australia
they are referred to as Song Lines, in Peru, they are called Nasca lines. Earth’s energy lines
are also important in the Chinese practice of Fung Shui. In fact, there are found to be many
alignments of old monuments, megaliths, and places of historical significance throughout the
world. Sacred temples of ancient world aroung the Mediterranean are located at powerful
vortices, and drawing lines between them will produce patterns of triangles. The Indians in
American Southwest as well as those in Peru and other parts of South America located their
cities and roads between them and on vortices and ley lines. The location of Stonehenge and
it’s relationship to the Great Pyramid, Glastonbury and the myth of Avalon correlate to
vortices, and there are many more.
PARANORMAL ACTIVITY AND LEY LINES:
Familiar with the term “Dead Straight”?
Some research has suggested that leys are evidence of paths of the dead and other spirits.
The existence of spirit paths is a belief that is held by many cultures around the world. In
Ireland, Fairy paths follow straight lines. It is believed that building houses on these paths will
bring bad luck. In the very harsh terrain of the Bolivian mountains where spirits are believed to
reside, paths follow straight lines despite the challenging landscape. In China, spirits were
believed to travel along straight lines. Straight lines were avoided at all costs unless decreed
otherwise by the emperor. In Britain, evidence of spirit paths is found in the ancient earthen
burial mounds that again, connect on straight lines.
There does appear to be some connection with these spirit paths and supernatural activity,
especially where a structure is built crossing one of these paths where experiences of
apparitions and paranormal activity have been reported.
UFOs and Ley Lines - In the 1950's UFO enthusiasts noticed that sightings of UFO’s
occurred in straight lines. A pilot and UFO enthusiast named Tony Wedd made a connection
between the existence of leys and UFO sightings in 1958. Today, multiple reports of sightings
along ley lines and vortices in such areas as Sedona, Hudson River Valley, Stonehenge,
Bermuda Triangle, just to name a few, are not uncommon and have become known as “hot
spots”. For this type of activity. Some suggest they are used for space and time travel as we
use roads and highways, or as navigational markers, others suggest possible refueling spots
for these crafts in those areas with an abundance of high energy.
Modern day dowsers claim to be able to locate dowsable links along leys between the ancient
monuments and megaliths and suggest the existence of complex webs of energy under these
sacred monuments, old roads, paths and churches etc.
Did the ancients have a better understanding of something that we may just now be coming to
understand or as other might believe, a very primitive understanding of our planet and it’s
place in the universe. We are now finding that they demonstrated advanced engineering,
mathematical and astrological knowledge. The fact that Stonehenge accurately plots the rise
and setting of the sun and moon as well as the equinoxes is now widely accepted. Evidence
that other civilizations were able to do the same also exists today and now leaves us to
speculate as to what other skills and knowledge they may have possessed. Did they have
knowledge and awareness of the grid of electromagnetic energy lines that blanket the earth?
The existence of ley lines and that they may be lines of increased mystic or psychic energy,
hot spots for UFO and paranormal activity such as spirit paths is controversial however, the
observed alignments is not. Both believers in ancient and magical theories of ley lines as well
as the skeptics of all of the above, agree that these alignments do, in fact, exist. The most
common skeptical view being that the alignments, though they exist, are all due to random
chance which then negates
that they cover the earth in a geometric pattern, are magnetic or electrical in nature and
resonate high levels of energy. They intersect around the earth to form triangles. The points
of intersection are called vortices and are said to have much higher energy levels than in
other areas. Scientific electromagnetic field mapping of today is beginning to show a

believed to travel along straight lines. Straight lines were avoided at all costs unless decreed
otherwise by the emperor. In Britain, evidence of spirit paths is found in the ancient earthen
burial mounds that again, connect on straight lines.
There does appear to be some connection with these spirit paths and supernatural activity,
especially where a structure is built crossing one of these paths where experiences of
apparitions and paranormal activity have been reported.
UFOs and Ley Lines - In the 1950's UFO enthusiasts noticed that sightings of UFO’s
occurred in straight lines. A pilot and UFO enthusiast named Tony Wedd made a connection
between the existence of leys and UFO sightings in 1958. Today, multiple reports of sightings
along ley lines and vortices in such areas as Sedona, Hudson River Valley, Stonehenge,
Bermuda Triangle, just to name a few, are not uncommon and have become known as “hot
spots”. For this type of activity. Some suggest they are used for space and time travel as we
use roads and highways, or as navigational markers, others suggest possible refueling spots
for these crafts in those areas with an abundance of high energy.
Modern day dowsers claim to be able to locate dowsable links along leys between the ancient
monuments and megaliths and suggest the existence of complex webs of energy under these
sacred monuments, old roads, paths and churches etc.
Did the ancients have a better understanding of something that we may just now be coming to
understand or as other might believe, a very primitive understanding of our planet and it’s
place in the universe. We are now finding that they demonstrated advanced engineering,
mathematical and astrological knowledge. The fact that Stonehenge accurately plots the rise
and setting of the sun and moon as well as the equinoxes is now widely accepted. Evidence
that other civilizations were able to do the same also exists today and now leaves us to
speculate as to what other skills and knowledge they may have possessed. Did they have
knowledge and awareness of the grid of electromagnetic energy lines that blanket the earth?
The existence of ley lines and that they may be lines of increased mystic or psychic energy,
hot spots for UFO and paranormal activity such as spirit paths is controversial however, the
observed alignments is not. Both believers in ancient and magical theories of ley lines as well
as the skeptics of all of the above, agree that these alignments do, in fact, exist. The most
common skeptical view being that the alignments, though they exist, are all due to random
chance which then negates

Here are some of the forms to choose from:
Divination: When the fortune teller interprets certain sights and omens.
Astrology: Which claims to forecast events on earth by observation of the fixed stars and the
sun, moon, and planets.
Psychometry: A type of clairvoyance.
Palmistry: Interpreting the lines in a person’s palm.
Divining Rod: Boy is that one old; and we mustn’t forget dreams and visions.
Cortomancy (card playing): Tarot cards that have certain meanings for telling the past and
the future.
My favorite is rune stones. They are known to be the teller of secrets. There are many I am
finding. I have just started this study. There are many I am finding to have originated in
Germany, and the alphabet itself still is shrouded in mystery.
It amazes m e how people can take a symbol and read so much into its meaning. I am hoping
to find more time to study and learn these symbols and the history behind them.
So on with the insight to the future!
