Krampus…No not a punk band.

Krampus…now some of you musicians out there might instantly think of the punk band the Kramps, well if that’s what you think this is about then you would be wrong. This is actually the real story of Bad Santa and not the funny one that started Bernie Mack, God Bless his soul, and creepy Billy Bob Thornton who reminds me of an A list late night horror host. No, Krampus is about a lesser known Christmas holiday tradition…a tradition of evil and your basic children kidnapping as in every single other creepy story out there such as the Boogieman or Slenderman to name a few.

You see what people never really knew and what you never see on such sappy Christmas Holiday TV specials is that according to the legend and lore of the Alpine countries of Europe Santa had a helper. Yes we know about the elves and Mrs. Clause, but this other helper really isn’t so much a helper, but more of a partner…an evil partner. You see Krampus, unlike good ole Saint Nick, travels with the jolly old fat man and when they come upon a house with good and r bad children a few things unfold. If the child is good then Saint Nick, with the rosy cheeks and heart of gold, gives the child gifts of candy and toys..well what happens if the child is naughty? Well if the child is naughty then Krampus takes over, Krampus takes the child, stuffs it into his sack and then carries the scared child away into the night to its lair to be devoured. I dot know about you, but the threat of coal or onion in my stocking for being naughty during the year sure as hell sounds a lot better than this alternate alternative to being naughty.

Now Krampus has been depicted in a number of ways, one form is that of a beast like creature with giant horns and white fur…very demonic in style. The other form is that of an evil looking old man to which he looks completely different than his cookie eating counterpart Saint Nick. The apparent tradition is that around or on December 5^th people dressed as Krampus roam the streets ringing bells and wearing rusty chains frightening children…and who says good parenting has gone away.

Krampus has different variations based upon the region in which the story is being told, but it has the same roots and traditions as the original legend. Now the Catholic church and even the government has banned the creature years ago citing that it is inappropriate to children, because somehow what they watch on TV during the rest of the year is totally appropriate.

My thought goes to Saint Nick, what is he doing during all of this, he has to be just as demonic and demented as Krampus. I mean Krampus is a demon so it is expected of him to act in such a way, but saint Nick just stands there and lets him get away with stealing and eating children. This loveable icon of the Christmas Holidays, the jolly old fat man who wouldn’t hurt a fly, stands there and lets this happen…now that is some seriously messed up stuff. So maybe our putting of Santa Clause up on such a high pedestal is not in the best interest of us. Santa Clause is a classic James Bond villain, he comes off all nice and innocent like a savior yet the whole time he has an evil side that if you get in the way he will make you pay…I guess the whole joke of mixing the words of Santa to spell Satan really isn’t that far off from accuracy.

So as you snuggle in for the night before Christmas and you have the milk and cookies out for the jolly ol Saint Nick, you might want to make sure you lay out a few bear traps, claymore land mines and pack some heat when going to sleep…and Im talking about the 9mm kind. You never know if by the standards of Krampus and Saint Nick you’re either naughty or nice and you sure as hell don’t want to take any chances. And of course Scooby-Doo did an episode based upon Krampus as well.

Be safe and poison the cookies for both are evil,

Chain Letters & Scam Emails… If You Don’t Read This 5 Times A Ghost Will Annoy You.

How many times have you received a text message, letter (back in the day when snail mail was still popular), or e-mail stating that if you did not send it to at least five people you would have bad luck? This is simply know as a chain letter, and believe it or not they have been around since at least the 1930s from what I can research. The chain letter given credit for being the first was from Colorado and it was called the “Send-a-dime” letter.

And keep in mind that this just isn’t in the US that chain letter exist, but they seem to pop up all over the world. The letter just takes on the culture of the country in which it originates such as Africa seems to mainly take on a religious connotation for their chain letters while the US seems to focus on money and supernatural things that may happen.

I know many a friend and family member, who have and still do buy into this junk. That is exactly what it is…junk. There is no scientific principle that can show that if a person does not send a chain letter on it will result in misfortune.

The picture shown is one that was associated with a chain letter originating out of Texas. It was reported to be an actual photo of a ghost under the bed of a person who killed someone by accident because they didn’t send on the chain letter. Really??? Now what and why would you even joke about something like this, plus the act that some people thought this picture was real even confuses me more.

To me it seems like such a blatant posed/set-up photo and I will be any amount of money that it was in fact that.

I guess when it comes down to it, it really matter about what you believe in. If you think sending the letter out fives, or brining a troll doll to a bingo hall or wearing a special pair of socks for the big game will bring you luck then go for it. However I would suggest against sending such letters as the one above to people. If you send it because you think you will die or incur the death of other people because you don’t send it then I suggest you et some help. You will not die or be punished by God for not forwarding on a bad letter, heck I’m willing to bet God will thank you for stopping it before it goes any further. The choice is yours, just make the right one.

Cloudbusters…I Ain’t Afraid of No Cloud.

Cloudbusters, sort of reminds of Ghostbusters on less cool in my eyes because the Ghostbusters have Ecto-1, you cannot mess with that car. Plus the Ghostbusters had such awesome equipment with their proton packs and meters and ghost traps such awesomeness. What type of equipment does a Cloudbuster have, a really big pin to pop them? I mean how many times have you been walking down the street or in the park and those pesky clouds just wont get out of your way or try and steal your wallet? Never? Really? Well I’m not shocked because I never had that happen to me either, in fact the only time clouds are a pain is when you’re flying and they create turbulence, man I hate flying.

Cloudbusting, as odd as it sounds, was in fact a device invented by an Austrian psychoanalyst by the name of Wilhelm Reich. Why did he create such a device? Well simple, it was created so that it could drain the clouds of their orgone energy. Orgone energy is a universal life force, this energy controls everything in the universe and those deficient in orgone could develop such disease as cancer. And do you know who thought and came up with this? Why it was Wilhelm Reich the creator of the Cloudbuster, see how it all ties together and makes sense. I didn’t think so, because I am still confused over the whole orgone thing and I have been reading a number of papers and article about it.

However I fill focus on orgone energy at a later time and get back to the cloudbuster and how it worked in harness the power of orgone energy. It was one of the most simplest of machine next to the divining rob to find water under the earth. The cloubuster machine was simply constructed of a few hollow metal tubes fixed together in a row and had hoses running from the end of each pipe into water. It could be a pond, lake or even a barrel/bucket of water, but it just had to be in water. The water was considered to act like an orgone magnet and would draw the energy out of the clouds. This in turn would also be able to create rain, which would save all that time in seeding clouds and creating even more conspiracy theories about what they are putting into those clouds to make it rain.

I have included a picture of what one of these cloudbusters looked like. It almost looks like some sort of a demented pipe organ pointed at the sky.

Did it really make clouds explode in the sky or make them shrivel up to nothing? From my research I have found no account of what it really looked like when in operation.

Am I saying that this is a far fetched idea…yes I am. I am saying the whole aspect of orgone energy and the assumption it is the form of universal life is a far fetched idea. Now on some farms and you can even see this on a Dirty Jobs episode of a peach farm where they use air cannons in order to control the environment (ie clouds) and I have come to find out they use this on other farms as well. There is some science to the aspect of using air cannons in order to control the weather and the aspect of cloud seeding has been going on for years. However this machine really did nothing but point at the clouds with tubes and hoses running into the water.

While he may have been in fact a brilliant man and a out side the box thinker, I would classify this as a machine with no real purpose. If you want to, you can create the whole thing yourself from supplies you can find at Lowes or Home depot for less than $100, I know because I have looked. So if you feel bored then build one yourself and try busting some clouds.

Be safe and watch out for those pesky clouds,

Science Fiction Land…Sometimes truth is stranger than science fiction.

Jack Kirby the king of comics…the man who is credited with being second to only Stan Lee, in fact these two great comic creators were a team of epic proportions. They made what comic books are today and were…they single handedly made comics the icon fashion for ages and ages to come even after both are gone the way of the Do-do. However I am not here to completely nerd out and talk only about comic books and their creators…well except for Jack Kirby and how he single handedly saved a group of American diplomats stranded over in Tehran, Ian during the whole crazy 1979 Iran hostage crisis. What you didn’t know Jack Kirby did that??? You thought it was Ben Affleck??? You thought it was the American CIA??? Well sit right back and I’ll tell you a tale a tale of a man who had a dream and that dream saved 6 hostages during a horrible time of need.

Science Fiction Land is the true story behind the Argo movie…in fact without Jack Kirby there would be no Argo.  And if there were no Jack Kirby 6 us hostages may be dead to this dead…however that thankfully did not happen. You see Jack Kirby was working with a group of people to create a science fiction themed Disney land style of park called Science Fiction Land. The production and designs of the park were well in full swing until people started getting arrested for money issues and other mysterious accusations. Jack Kirby thankfully was not part of this witch hunt style of prosecuting like other members in his group, however he wouldn’t also know what role this unfinished and dead before started project he had designed would play in heroic nature.

So during the 70’s we were not the best of friends with Iran…not really sure who was expect for creepy terrorists, but American was essentially at war with Iran without it being declared. Now Iran was all about taking Americans Hostage and killing them and using them as bargaining chips against the US and their actions against Iran. Well just like in the movie Argo 6 American diplomats are taken hostage by the Iranians and it is up the US CIA to get them out alive. Well how could they accomplish a feet such as this without themselves being taken as hostages…simple…pose as a Canadian Film crew  in order to sneak in and get them out. The problem the CIA faced next was they had to create an entire film and promote it and put everything forth as if in fact it was a legitimate movie, they even went as far as to cast actors and real directors and producers, but the big problem was what do the call it…what will their movie be about??? How about a science fiction movie??? How about we just lock everyone up connected with this theme park called science fiction land and steal the idea and there is nothing they can do about it because we are the freakin CIA. Now you know why I mentioned earlier that they were locked up and under mysterious accusations.

So as we all know, spoiler alert, that the plan did in fact work and the hostages got out thanks to the ever courageous CIA who just did no work and stole from other peoples ideas…naaa our government would never do something like that would they???

Well so there you have it, Jack Kirby was a true American patriot in rescuing American diplomats in a troublesome era with Iran. The only problem with it is that nobody ever knew about it till years later after declassified papers were released under the freedom of information act. One man however wanted the story to be known, he wanted to make sure people got the true story behind the movie Argo and gave patriotic credit to the true men who deserved it, this man is named Judd Ehrlich. He started his crusade to make this movie a long time ago and I had the fortunate pleasure of meeting with him and conducting an interview for his movie at the 2012 New York Comicon. He is absolutely passionate about this film and making sure the truth gets out and the world knows that Jack Kirby and others were more than just comic book creators and builders and designers, but actually patriotic Americans in the truest sense of the fashion. The best thing of all is that he finally got the funding for the movie and it is now on its way to being created and released for all to see. I highly recommend you do some research on this story, but mainly and foremost make sure you check out and watch the movie Science Fiction Land. This documentary will bring out the truth and Judd will make sure you aren’t disappointed.

Be safe and stand proud to be an American,

Nazi Alien Technology…Indiana Jones Would’ve Been Screwed.

That’s right you read correctly, Nazi Alien Technology, it isn’t a typo and for those of you who follow/study/research aliens, the occult and Nazis this really shouldn’t be all that surprising to you. However for the rest of you who don’t know about such a topic, may I introduce to you that the Nazis of World War 2 were in fact studying alien technology while trying to create some of their own. The Nazi regime was in fact created out of the occult and it’s entire symbolism was that of dark occult and religious connotation. Hitler was know to be heavily influenced and connected with the occult and so were his main staff of generals as leaders as well.
With this they also believe strongly in the life of the universe mainly that of aliens and UFOs. Some people strongly believe that the Nazis had in fact acquired alien technology and were able to back engineer it while creating there own alien style technology. If these stories are in fact true then they must not have either perfected it or had the time to utilize the technology due to the end of the war and defeat of Germany. Whatever the reasoning behind it, there are two main stories connect with the Nazi UFO program as it were.


The first story is that of the Haunebu which the name for the Nazi UFO program became. Now the program did in fact exist and was based upon their V-7 program which was to create circular flying saucers for military purposes. The question about the existence of the program is not what is debated, but rather where they got the idea and the technology to create such a flying disc. Now the idea and stories of flying sauces in the sky carrying alien life forms have been around, if you ask some, since the biblical era. If want to really get into it, it is said that there is a story I the bible describing UFOs and aliens, that will be for another time however. The idea for flying saucers did not exclusively exist in Nazi Germany, but around the same time American flight engineers were looking at the same style of flight. Did the Americans get their idea from alien technology? Some will say yes, I say no; my reason being is that hover technology and an enclosed propulsion system has always been a dream for aircraft designers as far back as Leonardo Davinci.




The second story is a big more UFO technology than that of its counter part story. This story tells of a bell like ship called Die Glocke considered to be the biggest and greatest weapon of mass destruction ever created. This is a story completely surrounded in mystery and intrigue as it was loosely discovered from some Nazi classified papers supposedly. Has there ever been concrete evidence of the existence of Die Glocke? No there is nothing concrete of its existence and there never will be. Could such a bell shaped flying device exist? Sure I believe that the Nazis were I fact working on some sort of bell shaped flying machine, there is no reason to think otherwise as they were always creating. Yet I find it hard to believe it was based off of capture alien technology and had the ability to go into space and be the greatest super weapon of all time. The Nazis were known to destroy any and all evidence supporting their experiments and treatment of people. So am I shocked that no documentation about a top secret military project has never been unearthed not at all and neither should you.

The Nazis had a number of things going on and when you see their conquests in the Indiana Jones series with them trying to acquire biblical relics that would make them powerful, don’t be shocked because its based off of fact. Hitler believed very strongly in the power of relics and artifacts to the point he based his life and leadership around them. To go as far as to think they tried to create alien technology is not a stretch, but to think they acquired it through captured aliens is very difficult for me to believe.

Be safe and keep your eye on the sky,

John Titor…Back to the Future Man.

When you think of the future do you think of flux capacitors? Do you think of hover boards? Do you think of Michael J Fox? No? Well then you must have been living under a rock and never saw the cinematic trilogy gem of the Back to the future series, and it was also a popular Saturday morning cartoon show. I am however getting off the real topic which is that of Mr. John Titor. Never heard of him, well you are not alone because while he may be known to only conspiracy theorists followers such as me, he is a bit infamous.

 
John Titor was a man for the future or should I really say from the future as that is what the claim is. He got his name out there by posting on internet website forums between 2000 and 2001 with his drastic predictions of the impeding future. He claimed to be from the year 2036 and wanted to fill us in on what was about to happen to us and the world as a whole. He wanted to try and fix the past (our present) from becoming a chaotic mess that would soon occur.

Now if you take the time to read each and every one of his posts and then begin to examine them individually you will begin to see why people found holes in his story. However I will spare you the pain of doing just that because while I was aware his inconstancies I took the time to read the posts and I will admit that they are a good read especially if you know anything about time travel possibilities an you know you’re reading something that is made up.

One of the biggest things he states is that he came back in order to save the world from itself and N-Day which is when nuclear missiles passed in the sky as they destroyed targets in Russia, China, Europe and America destroying mot everything and the US needing to reform its capital in Omaha, Nebraska. Some have even said that this sounds like something straight from Pat Frank’s Alas, Babylon. Could John Titor have been some fan of the book or could he have just been trying to stir things up because he was bored or could he have actually been from the future?

My vote is no to the whole entire time travel thing, do I think time travel is possible…anything is possible. Do I think we will be able to figure time travel out…doubt it highly, but I would love if we did. I think Mr. John Titor was a man who fantasized about the ending of the world and a new order of sorts. I think in his mind he was from the future, but this is what happens when you give internet access to people locked in mental asylums. To me John Titor was a flake and a talented flake at that because he sucked a lot of people into his claims as a time traveler even if they didn’t believe him, Why do I say he was a flake and not a genius for doing what he did, well mainly because he didn’t do anything after that. It wasn’t a promotional stunt of any type and nothing else has since come about it. The whole things reeks of hoax and scam, but I guess only John Titor knows the truth, or does he???

Be safe and don’t forget your flux capacitor,

Hexham Heads and Were-Sheep…Oh My!!!

As I am sure you all know about the Hexham Heads and were-Sheep, you…wait you don’t know about them. You don’t know about small little stone heads connected to paranormal activity and were-sheep…you must be kidding me. Don’t worry I didn’t know about it either, but then that’s why I read and research what I do…its sort of my thing.

So the story of the Hexham Heads is this, two boys in the town of Hexham England, around 1971, were playing outside one day and, like boys do, started digging in the garden and making holes, well they unearth these small little stone heads that appeared to of Celtic nature. Now the Celts were all over Europe so the possibility of Celtic carvings to be littered all over the country side is well easily acceptable. Now these stone head figures were about 6 cm high appeared to be carved out of stone. Now they boys though nothing of it, it would essentially be like someone finding an arrowhead in a plowed field…so no thought given to it. Now once these small stone heads were found and brought into the house the real fun began…if you want to call it fun that is.

Suddenly strange and paranormal activity started to occur within the house, now keep in mind no paranormal activity had ever occurred up until this point. The stone heads were thrown off the shelves and placed in random spots within the house, also there was then the sighting of what some have said was to be something sort of half man and half sheep creature…hence the were-sheep. This paranormal activity continued until the heads were given to a Dr. Anne Ross who was an expert in Celtic artifacts, well that would make sense to give it to her. Once she assumed possession of the two Hexham Heads the paranormal activity started in her home and subsequently ended at the exact same moment in the two boys house that originally found them. She starred to experience the same type of paranormal activity with items being move and a cold chill fill the air as well as the infamous were-sheep person running around her house. Now being a woman of science and logical understanding she realize the paranormal activity was connected to the Hexham heads…note my sarcasm. She removed everything that was a celtic head in nature as well as the Hexham heads. Once she had removed them the paranormal activity had alleged ceased. Now my question is why did she get rid of all the heads if the activity had been there in the past…just get rid of the Hexham Heads, oh well she is a doctor so she must know what she is doing, note more sarcasm.

Now here is a bit of a funny part, you see a man by the name of Desmond Craigie stepped forward to claim he was actually the one who had created the heads. He had worked for a concrete company and the Hexham Heads were sent out and it was discovered by a University that the heads were in fact made in a mold and were not carves and were actually made in the 1950’s as opposed to so many years ago during the time of the Celts. Oh and the original Hexham Heads are now somewhere lost in history…to this day they have been searched out to no avail. I guess we will never see the original Hexham Heads for ourselves.

Sooooooo, does this story makes sense…in my opinion, no it does not. A doctor of Celtic artifacts does know when something is modern as opposed to carved stone??? I find that extremely hard to believe  that, unless she was not a real student or doctor of Celtic artifacts. And again I point out she got rid of all her celtic heads that never cause weird activity before, but now were they tainted by the fake Hexham Heads??? So then the guy comes forward who made, unless he was a master craftsman like the originator of the Hellraiser Puzzle Box I find all this paranormal activity connected with the Hexham Heads a little bit farfetched. Now as for the were-sheep…who comes up with that??? So lets say that the heads were real authentic Celtic artifacts and that the paranormal activity was real…so how was a were-sheep connected to it??? I just you could look at it as a type of Pan style of creature, but that’s stretching it I feel.

If you can find the original Hexham Heads there are a lot of people who like to do some tests on them for true identification and understanding on them. However if they ever were found I doubt they would find anything odd or abnormal about them. I think they would see modern concrete, but then again who knows maybe they were in fact cursed like so many other things associated with curses in this world…just don’t know or understand how they could be cursed, oh well I guess we will never know.

Be safe and I hear that Were-Sheep make the best sweaters ever,

Silent Time Traveler… Can You Hear Me Now???

There has been a video creating a rather unique buzz and has been reported on by a number of highly respected news shows such as BBC, CNN & MSNBC. Now some of you may have heard about or even seen the video for yourself. If you haven’t yet seen it then just go to YouTube and time in silent time traveler. It is a video lip from a Charlie Chaplin film called The Circus. At one point of the film is shows a woman dressed all I black with what appears to be a cell phone in her hand and she is talking in it. Now I know for those of you who have not connected the dots yet that you are asking yourself so what if she is on a cell phone in this movie clip. Well this film is fro 1928 and from my research as well a the common sense part of people cell phones had yet to be invented yet.

That’s right something that appears to be a woman dressed in black is talking on a cell phone in a 1928 movie. Can this even be possible? Is this woman a time traveler and she is talking with someone in the future on her phone? This movie clip has created such a buzz over the internet and main stream media and only helps to further the stories of conspiracy theorists everywhere. The media presents it as a curiosity to not be read into, but rather something to give to something to talk about around the water cooler. However there are those that claim this is a blatant show of time travel and/or alien technology. I can see how you can come up with the time travel thing, but alien technology is a bit stretching it don’t you think?

This clip was originally found by George Clark who first posted it on the internet after to seeing it in the extras of a Charlie Chaplain box set. Now I have also come to find out that Mr. George Clark is a Belfast film-maker. Could he be trying to get some sort of publicity and recognition in film-making by posting something outrageous? My vote would be yes, while I do not know Mr. Clark I could easily see such a thing done by a film-maker. It’s not like the film industry doesn’t pull things like this all the time for publicity. Also, how is it that nobody else who own this box set have seen it and come forward about it?

Now for the pure fun of it let’s just say that this woman I in fact a time traveler and she is talking on a cell phone. First off how would cell phone reception work? There are no towers to broadcast an collect signals or does that mean it is a special type of time travel phone that can be used to connect with those in the future? Also how could this woman not know what was going on, I mean as a time traveler wouldn’t you want to keep a low profile so as not to disrupt the time frame in which you are visiting?

While it is a very thought provoking piece of footage I would have to say it’s not a time traveler and could possibly be a woman not wanting to show her face on film. It could also be a woman hiding her face from the sun or even she could be using a device called a portable ear trumpet which helps people who are hard of hearing. I wouldn’t read to much into this as there are much more important things to worry about in this world. Just have fun with this clip and laugh it off.

Be safe and reception in the past is horrible,

Star Wars the Force Unleashed II Review

In a galaxy long ago….ok let’s be real, it was this past week and it was at my nearest GameStop store. I had heard about the Force Unleashed II coming out a number of months ago and after becoming a fan of the first game I knew I had to acquire a copy of the sequel, STFU2. Now in reading a small bit of information regarding the new game I was intrigued as they said the game play and controls would overall be a lot easier to handle. I was pretty happy this as remembering back to the first one I usually had a hard time with the force grab and throw option as well as not having good force lightning.

So anyways, I got the call that they would have a midnight release of the game and while I had done them before I was too tired to attempt this one, so I opted to just go in the morning. I went the next day picked up my copy and threw it into my car to play at a later date. A couple days later I was talking with a friend who had picked the game up and was playing it and so I asked him what he thought about it. He told me the force throw and lightning were awesome, but the story line just seemed a bit weird. He explained a little bit of the story to me and I have to admit I was confused about it, so that sort of got me in gear to load it up and play it.

Once my PS3 (I only do PS3, sorry Xbox fans) loaded al the updates for the game I clicked on the start menu and began the journey.

Now as I played through the game I did realize that the game play was in fact much easier and in my opinion a bit more enjoyable than the first one. The force grab and throw was excellent and much more easier than before so I give the game designers kudos for that one. Plus the force lightning starts off kind of bleh, but once you upgrade it one its like the emperor himself is throwing lightning, very cool.

There are however a few things that I really didn’t enjoy about this game. One was the fact that it seemed much shorter than the first one, I mean a beat it within a few hours of game play and really didn’t have much of an effort beating it. So that was a bit disappointing in itself. Then you get to the story line and I know many a Star Wars fan who loves the story lines in the films and this was a severe let down. IT made no sense what so ever in relation to the first film and just when you think you begin to understand what is going on they change it and you’re confused all over again. While I am not a huge Star Wars “mark” I do enjoy seeing the classic characters like Yoda show up, yet he does nothing and you do nothing on his planet, a complete waste of time to see a vision that could have easily been a cut scene. Finally towards the end of the game it goes into some sort of weird outlook and you can no longer dash or move the camera around, it just didn’t make sense.

In playing and thinking about this game I would say go get it because its game play is excellent, just try not to focus on the story line to much.

 

Be safe and may the force be with you,

The Hollow Earth Society… A Cadbury Egg it is Not.

Ahhh Easter Candy…it comes but once a year and is always satisfying. I remember the Easter baskets I would get containing jelly beans, sugar eggs, chocolate bunnies, peeps and my all time favorite of Cadbury eggs. I would easily eat ten eggs in a sitting, however not so much anymore since I have to watch my sugar levels. I remember sitting there and cracking them open and thinking about how much they were like the earth. A hard surface and yet underneath it was a flowing liquid of magma and toxic gas. Ok not exactly like a Cadbury egg, but you get what I’m saying. Now for years and even through my geology classes I was led to believe that this was in fact true, yet I came to realize that apparently I must be wrong. I discovered a society, if you want to call it that, that believes the earth to be hollow. Apparently this was not a new age thinking either, in some readings I have found that even Hitler himself believe in the Hollow Earth theory and that a tribe Aryan Race people inhabited the center of the earth. Aryan people and the occult…yep sure sounds like a wacky Hitler scheme to me.

Now I know what you’re thinking, this sounds way to far out to believe, well that is where you are wrong. In fact Hitler did believe strongly that the earth was in fact hollow and that a race of Aryan people inhabited that. In fact to this very day there are quite a number of people who believe in the Hollow Earth theory and they actually know where the entrance to it is.

Here is a sketch of what they believe to be the true and accurate depiction of what the earth is formed of.

 

It basically is an earth within an earth with people living their lives on the earths shell with a sun and moon while the inside of the earth lived its life under the crust with the core of the earth acting as a sun. The exact location for the entrance of the earth is said to like at 87.8 degrees North and South Latitude which would make it right at the polar caps.

Now there are those who feel that the hollow earth holds more to this earth and its history than just the Aryan race. Some believe that the inside of the earth holds the greatest of biblical mysteries such as the original location of the garden of eden, the lost tribes of Israel or even heaven itself. So heaven is where hell would be? That’s a bit of a swerve in popular biblical understanding.

When it comes down to it is the earth hollow? Well yeah in a way it is, but not livable hallow. The earth is hollow and filled with molten magma and toxic gases, that’s where lava comes from when volcanoes explode or the tectonic plates crack open. If the earth were in fact hollow I’m pretty sure we would’ve figured it out by now. I leave it up to you to decide, but I am willing to bet you any amount of money that it’s not livable inside the earth, heck it’s barely livable on the outside of the earth.

The Monster of Flathead Lake…not to be confused with Fathead Lake, that’s a story unto itself.

Throughout history the world over, tales of monsters and bodies of water have been synonymous with each other. Whether it is a lake, pond, river, ocean, stream…did I say stream??? How ever heard of a monster in a stream, a stream is so small…what is it a monster crayfish??? Ok back to the story at hand is again what I have said before, monsters and water have always been associated with one another and while there are storied of the past there will be more generated for years to come.  Now some of these stories are based within fact and some of these are based within the imagination of people who believe they have seen something that more than likely was not there in the first place. Are these people liars…no they just mistook something for something else…they could have seen a log floating in the water and from the stories they have heard over the years they believe it t be something not of normal nature. However there are those who in fact are liars and cheaters and report sightings for own personal gain and that 15 minutes of fame so many people in this world seem to try and go for. So with any story there will always be a certain amount of doubt and we unfortunately are quick to call someone crazy should they say they have seen something…and this is because of the bad apples whom have tried their deceptive craft.

Now some of the more well known of monsters and water are such stories of the Loch Ness Monster of Scotland, Champ of Lake Champlain in New York, giant squids in the ocean, supersize fish and the list goes on and on…well this is a story of…well…nobody knows exactly what it is. The monster of Flathead Lake is located obviously in Flathead Lake which is located in Montana. Here is your fact of the day…this lake is the largest lake in the Western United States and in certain location is so crystal clear you can see straight to the bottom, now remember this fact as I tell this tale of water monster.

The exact description of the monster is like that of any monster story, there are always some differences, but   for the most part it is describe as an eel like creature, about 40 feet long and is a blueish-black in color. Some feel that it is a descendant of the Sturgis, the fish not the biker festival, and it supposedly has protruding humps, a lot like the Loch Ness monster and Champ. Its funny if you think about it how almost every single water monster has some sort of protruding humps…are they all from the same family of animal…or is there some unwritten code I am not aware of and Wikipedia has failed to mention in which all water monsters must have protruding humps??? I mean seriously, why do they all have protruding humps…for once I would like to hear about a water monster that has some giant claw like hand and seaweed covering it…you know the type you always see on Scooby Doo…like Swamp Thing.

Ok back to the legend at hand with the Monster of Flathead Lake. The first sighting is told to be around 1889 by the skipper of a steamboat on the lake…have I mentioned this is a huge lake??? Well it would seem the he and his passengers witnessed this monster and one of the passengers had a gun on him and fired at it, which he didn’t kill it…must have been a bad shot. However this was said to begin the legend of this mysterious creature. So through the years even as late as 1993 many stories where told and it was supposedly filmed by a bank officer and a sales manager, because some how those type of people would never lie…might has well been a car salesman and politician reporting this sighting, but I digress, and witnessed to be a 12 foot long creature just below the surface of the water.

Now there are a number of theories of what this monster could be just there are theories for any and all water monsters. Now whether these theories are correct or not…well that’s why they are called theories…from the theory of it being an ancient dinosaur to that of being a mutant fish, or my theory that its not really there and it is being confused with something. Now I am an avid scuba diver and would love nothing more than to dive in a body of water and come across a true water monster, I know Im nuts…heck I want to dive with Great whites, anyways I really would love to see it, but I just don’t think it is there. Maybe someday there will in fact be evidence found of a great water monster, but right now I am unsure. I mainly question this legend because remember what I said earlier about it being so clear you could see down to the bottom…well don’t you think it would be pretty easy to find the monster since you can see the bottom and not have to worry about murky water and sonar and other technical gadgets to find anything in the water??? So I say to all keep looking out over the water and maybe someday you will catch that sought after evidence for all to see…or you can just look out over the water and enjoy the view and relax…your call.

Be safe and don’t forget your arm floaties,
