The Bermuda Triangle…in Alaska???

The Bermuda Triangle…it conjures up thoughts of what else…Bermuda. Sandy clean beaches, beautiful crystal clear water, fruity drinks with tiny umbrellas in them, tropical breeze blowing gently…what??? That’s not what you think of when you hear the words Bermuda Triangle??? So let me guess, you must think of strange vortexs that swallow up planes and ships with all occupants on board never to be heard from again. Well I wouldn’t and couldn’t blame you if in fact that is what you think about when those words are mentioned, but I bet you never thought of Alaska. Oh yeah you read that right, there is supposedly a Bermuda Triangle in Alaska, so for all purposes it is the Alaskan Triangle and has been doing the same type of damage for years…it just doesn’t get as much notoriety as its tropical counterpart.

So the Alaskan Triangle stretcheswell over hundreds of miles between the towns of Anchorage, Barrow & Juneau. It came to its most prominence over 20 years ago, 1972 to be exact, with the disappearance of a plane carrying prominent politicians House Majority Leader Hale Boggs and Representative Nick Begich along with the experience bush pilot. They searched for the 3 men for over 35 days and ended up calling off the search and declaring all men deceased. No trace ounce of evidence of them or the plane has ever been found and I don’t think there ever will be. Now some say that the infamous head of the FBI J. Edgar Hoover was in fact responsible for covering leads to the missing men because of his hatred and constant battles with Boggs in the political arena. Now this type of political espionage and secret plots surrounds Washington more than any other government in this entire world and I don’t think I could ever truly go into detail with each and every one of them. However I don’t think Hoover, who was supposedly a closet cross dresser…yeah look that little story up, had anything to do with their disappearance, and I say that because there have been so many cases after this where people have gone missing with no trance ever to be found. So as much as a I am huge Washington political conspiracy theory fan I can safely say this isn’t one of them.

There have been over thousands of recorded missing people in the Alaskan Triangle some either hiking or some flying they have all disappeared without a trace. Now it could easily be chalked up to the harsh climate of the Alaskan wilderness and it multitudes of wild animals willing to eat any potential human who gets lost on their way and the winds and weather in the mountains could easily down a plane without ever trying. So yes, it is quite possible to easily explain the rational to all these people going missing, but to find no trace of any plane or person in all the thousands if missing people cases associated in the area of the Alaskan Triangle, now that seems a bit odd to me. With the technology of today and we can find a single piece of material associated to a missing person leaves me a bit puzzled.  Again, though like its counterpart in Bermuda no traces of the ships, planes or people have been either so it isn’t that farfetched after all I guess.

Whatever the rationale behind the strange mystery of the Alaskan Triangle, it can all easily be connected to the pyramid that is hidden beneath Alaska, pretty simple if you ask me. Wait…what??? You didn’t know about the buried pyramid in Alaska that has been theorized to control the Alaskan Triangle such as the glass pyramids associated in the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle??? It would seem that during a major blast due to the Chinese government due who the hell knows what somehow a large underground pyramid was identified in Alaska. Now I know you’re thinking just like me, WOW what an awesome find and yet its never been really talked about much. In fact the only strange thing talked about in association with Alaska is Sara Palin. So as the theory goes this pyramid id larger that the ones in Egypt and in fact are base that is very active yet we don’t know who runs it and why. My answers are because it’s not a base and it doesn’t exists unless its tied in somehow to the Hollow Earth society then we got ourselves some strange Nazi type stuff going on here. You see how all strange conspiracy theories end up tying into one another here??? The rationale for the underground pyramid could easily be tectonic plates or even a bounce in sound waves distorting the image.

So is there in fact a pyramid under Alaska? Is there truly a Alaska Triangle wrecking havoc in this world making people and planes disappear without a trace? What are hot dogs really made of? Ok that last one is a gimmie, for that answer please reference the movie The Great Outdoors with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd, its worth it. I digress, there are so many areas in the world that could have Triangle like phenomena associated with them that you can never know for sure if it’s science or something much more strange and bizarre. Just make a decision for yourself and do some reading and see what you come up with. I know my vote, but Im not telling…ok here it is…I totally blame Bigfoot.

Be safe and dress warm in Alaska,

Google Earth and weird stuff we find

Now I think it is pretty safe to say that almost everyone in this entire world no matter the language or country or company you keep have heard of the ever popular time killer called Google Earth. If you haven’t then go sit in a corner and give yourself a time out. Now for the rest of the normal time wasting earth I am sure you have played with the application till exhaustion just as I have. The first thing most people do is find their house and run outside to see if you can see yourself waving. So the smart people who realize this isn’t some sort of live feed sent to your computer by a secret CIA satellite that Google earth somehow connects into, give yourself a pat on the back, and for the rest of you get back inside and finish reading this blog. So after looking at your house and seeing what you can and cannot see I am sure you mess around looking at your friends and family and special places around the world such as the pyramids, great wall of china or even the statue of liberty. Now have you ever searched out the strange and bizarre that scatters our earth? No? Well then keep reading.

What some of the small mass of people in the world who use Google Earth religiously or who have zero social life have managed to find some strange an interesting things on this earth captured by Google Earth. There are a ton of videos on YouTube and I have probably seen about 50 of them and after awhile they start showing the same thing, but it’s still pretty cool none the less. So I have gone through these videos and here is my list of some of the more odd things you will happen to find by using Google earth on this planetary island we call home.

Glass Pyramids in the Bermuda Triangle…that’s a new one…sort of.

The ever popular phrase or words of wisdom spoken to those who judge and ridicule people as a learning lesson…those who live in glass house shouldn’t throw stones. Well this has absolutely nothing to do with this motivational parable to better one self. This does however have everything to deal with a story I had heard about a month ago. I was eating lunch with some friends and the words spoken were “Hey you like this weird stuff in the world” My friends know me oh so well…because the answer would be yes…yes I do. They went on to tell me about a story they had recently heard about that I did not hear about which is abnormal for me, but Im allowed off my game every now and then I suppose. The story was about glass like pyramids that were recently discovered through satellite pictures…give it up for Google Earth. I was intrigued so I wanted to know more, I figured how did they miss these glass like pyramids in Egypt I mean of all things made out of glass no less. However I would be wrong in my location as my friend proceeded to inform me they were discovered in the Bermuda Triangle…missed it by this much, a reference for all you Get Smart fans out there.

It would appear that a number of countries have been conducting sonar experimentation of oceanagraphic  levels all centralized within the Bermuda Triangle area. Why are these countries focusing on this area, well it could be for a number of reasons, but this isn’t about their science experiments and more of their discovery of the weird and bizarre. Besides Im sure what they are really doing will somehow wind up on Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory soon enough…I love that show.

Located about 2000 meters below the surface of the ocean in the Bermuda Triangle is located a strange structure that looks and in fact is a pyramid like structure. The structure appears to be about 200 meters tall with a diameter of 300 meters on each side…oh and its made of a glass-like material possibly quartz or in fact glass itself, it is still undetermined at this point in time. In a size relation it is bigger than the pyramids located in Egypt. It is determined however to be odd and unusual and the theories of how it got there and what purpose it serves is running rampant on a number of levels.

Now situated on the top of this pyramid are two holes which magnify the current of the water causing a vortex, mist and violent waves on the surface above. Now doesn’t that sound a bit familiar? Think back to all the stories of the boats that disappear within the dreaded Bermuda Triangle...they have all talked about rogue waves and strange mists…and who knows with the unexplained power of the pyramids it could possibly mess with the navigation controls/compass of the ships. Now that doesn’t explain the airplanes that disappeared within the Bermuda Triangle, but that is for another time…and who knows it may time in at a later date.

The theories are abundant with the origin of the glass pyramid at the ocean floor. Some believe the pyramid was constructed on land and then through either Pangaea or regular earthquakes may have shifted it into the ocean to its current location. Some believe it to be a part of the great theory of the city of Atlantis and that this pyramid could in fact be the gateway to the hidden sunken city…not quite sure I believe this one, but I would love if it were true…just saying.

Now I know what you’re thinking…maybe I don’t, but I am going to pretend I do for the sake of this blog. You’re thinking WOW how crazy is this I wonder if there are other glass/crystal style pyramids located at the bottom of the ocean sort of like the crystal skulls of Indian Jones fame and the fake end of the world propaganda. The answer to your thought provoking question would be yes…yes there have been a number of other pyramids found before these were, oh and these pyramids in the Bermuda Triangle were found once before by a scuba diver back in 1968.

Now I could get into all the theories of the powers that these mysterious glass like underwater pyramids possess, but I would need a lot more time and a lot more energy to deal with them all. From the writings and beliefs of the pyramid power to the crystal like connection with the crystal skulls there are just far too many of them to try and write out and tear apart individually. Maybe if I get bored and don’t feel like banging my head straight into a brick wall I might write those one day, but today is not that day.

Is it pretty cool to have found these glass like pyramids located within the Bermuda Triangle? The answer would be damn right it is, I know I was intrigued about it from the moment my friend told me about it. Would I love for at least one of these crazy wacky theories of pyramid power to actually work…the answer again would be yes I would, but alas there is no true hard evidence of its existence.

Maybe as I get older I lose more and more of my desire to care about crazy wacky stories like I had in my youth. Maybe they all seem to be the same exact long stretch of the truth to make it something that it is not. Naaaaa, I still love learning about the weird and bizarre, but they do all seem to be repeating the same old story line anymore, I just wish people would stop grasping and straws and grasp more at the truth…oh well.

Be safe and watch out for those pesky pyramids,

The Spear of Destiny…one relic Hitler would have loved to acquire.

Holy relics…the relics that any and all archeologist, antique dealer &/or psychopathic madman or woman, lets be pc on this one, would want to get their hands on. Sure relics of the past are a huge market especially on the black market. Hell there is massive amounts of money given each day for the real things as well as forgeries and fakes. Which I guess a forgery is a fake so why do people usually say the two together? It doesn’t matter, but what does matter is that ancient holy relics have been sought after since after the death of Christ. Sure Egyptian and Chinese and ancient English relics are by far among the top of those those relics sought after, but ancient holy relics far surpass those.

So what types of ancient holy relics are there, well Im glad you asked…ok you might not have asked, but for literary sake I am saying you asked so just keep reading. Soon after the crucifixion and death of Christ it was said that any relic associated with him or his stories of miracles throughout the bible would bring a wide range of powers to those who possessed them. These weren’t just limited to Jesus, but a good majority of them were.  Spilnters from the cross, nails that were driven through him, the ark of the covenant, the holy grail and so on and so on, the list keeps going and going and growing and growing.

It is said that if you took at the supposed splinters if the cross and put them together that it would total around 50 crosses. Why is this you might wonder? Well because back in the day fakes were more rampant then they are now a days. However there is one holy relic that was sought for by one of the most psychotic madmen to have ever lived…so far. That man would be Hitler and that holy relic would be the spear of destiny. It is said that whomever possess the spear of destiny will have unlimited power and everlasting life. That’s right who ever has that spear can never die and have power that rivals that of God himself. Wow…can you imagine that? Hitler could.

For those who do not know exactly what the spear of destiny is, well it would be the brass tip of the spear that pierced the side of Jesus while he was dead and crucified upon the cross. Roman guards would pierce the side of those men crucified in order to drain the blood and ensure that the person was in fact dead, this was common practice. However the fact that it was the side of Christ made that particular spear more valuable than any other.

Hitler was a prominent member of the Thule society which in essence were a bunch of relic hunters and occultists who were into some dark things as well as some things that are just sort of out there like the hollow earth society. They took their teachings from psychics and cult leaders of the past as their doctrine and believed the possession of these relics would make them invincible. Hitler’s leader of the SS Henrich Himmler was one of the major players on this and sent out campaigns across the world to find such items.

Now its quite obvious that Hitler never was able to get his hands on this spear because well…he is dead and the Nazi regime is no more…well at least to the world power they once were. So where is this spear of destiny? Has anyone found it? The answer to both of those questions is yes it has been found ad it is currently sitting in the English Museum located in England. So does it posses the power it is said to? Nobody knows and as for it being the actual spear tip it is unconfirmed. Yes they have done some carbon dating and other experiments to check its validity, but its more of a word of mouth and a legend of lore with it being the one and only true spear tip.

I have had the privilege of being able to see it and it s simple rusted spear tip, but the story and history associated with it makes it more than just a rusty piece of metal. Whenever your in England I encourage you to check it out along with all the other antiquities they have collected over the years.

Be safe and splinters are religious,

Human skin wallet!!! This ain’t Louis Vuitton!!!

Men and their wallets…some men have them and some shove all their money and business cards and worldly possessions into their pockets. Women have purses and men have wallets it’s a plain and simple fact unless you are a drag queen then that theory goes right out the window, but yet some women do have wallets within their purses so yet again I destroyed my own theory. I digress however…now women have tons and tons of choices for purses and their wallets and it is a fashion statement of epic proportions. They have Calen Klein, Louis Vuitton, Ed Hardy and so on and so on. The number of designers out there in the world for women’s fashion is unlimited. Yet when you get to men’s fashions there is not that much to chose from especially something to set yourself apart from the rest of the men out there. So what would you say to a wallet made of human skin, not alligator, ostrich, or cow leather, but actual 100% human skin??? Sound intriguing??? Now if you’re like me, which I pray to God you are not, then you would all about wanting to add this to your fashion accessories and imagine the talking point it would be in a conversation. So how does one get their hands on such a great piece of fashion??? Well let’s go back to where it all started…in New Jersey…what a shock on that one, huh???

In the town of Morristown, New Jersey around the year of 1833 there was a family named the Sayre’s. This family was a well to do family of the town and was well liked by all. Then a man by the name of Antoine Le Blanc arrived as an immigrant from France who took up menial jobs from the Sayre’s to make a living and have a place to stay. Now Le Blanc was from a well to do family in France and being the bottom of the totem pole and shoveling horse crap he considered to be well above his nature even though he came to the US with nothing in his name. He was pompous and arrogant and wanted to be the king of it all…please keep in mind he was from France so we really shouldn’t be that shocked at how he was acting. So Le Blanc decided he had enough and wanted it all for himself, again he IS French, and so he killed the entire Sayre family in order to get their land and money and prestige. Now he obliviously completely ignored that fact that the Sayre family were major players of the town and well liked so when they went missing obviously the town went looking for them only to find their butchered bodies. So without hesitation Le Blanc was rushed to the court house where he admitted to the crime while in jail and was promptly sentenced to death. The town wanted nothing more than to see Le Blanc die and have the most disgrace he could have possible. So they hung him and donated his body to the medical field where they would dissect and cut him apart and ultimately throw his body in a shallow grave. However he was not buried before they carved some skin from him, tanned it and then made wallets from it. Oh wait I forgot to mention they is wasn’t just wallets they made from his skin, but also lamp shades, purses and book jackets…see so the ladies could get some skin after all too, these items were considered to be “charming little keepsakes”.

Now to this day nobody knows where these “charming little keepsakes” of morbid curiosity have landed in life. Yet there IS one wallet still in existence located at the Morristown Historical Society…its is one of the human skin wallets. Now you cant just see this without appointment or permission, but Weird NJ did and TV show on this subject and the wallet just looks like a regular leather wallet that would have been made from a cow. However the story and the legend behind the wallet is what makes this such a value morbid curiosity.

There have been items made from human skin throughout history, but its usually by head hunter tribes in foreign countries. Well now I must step back a bit and, yes in America there have been items made from human skin, but those were usually made by serial killers who also ate their victims…such is the case with Ed Gein who happened to be the inspiration for Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. So for “civilized” towns folk to take on the aspect of morbid curiosity creators, that sort of steps outside of the box of “normal” logic.

So if you’re ever in the market for a new wallet see if they have human skin, I would love to see the look on their face.

Be safe and just remember…skin to win,

White Light Healing… Someone Call an Electrician.

You walk coolly into the Barnes and Nobles looking for that certain attention grabbing good read that you want to devote your time to. As you make your way past the small tables with books of the month and pass the bargain aisles you make your way back farther and farther. As you pass the True Crime and Science Fiction you happen to discover the New Age section. How fitting is it that this should be in the same area of True Crime and Science Fiction? I will admit this to you all before I get started, that I visit this section each and every time I go into a book store. I have been buying books from this section for years and been researching/studying everything I could, that was dedicated to this particular book section. I am absolutely fascinated by New Age Phenomena and books that are written about it.

While I was examining the spines of the books and what they were about, I found one called White Light Healing. Now I am not new to this concept, but I am however more of a skeptic now than I had previously been in the past. I talked to a number of “white light” healers and some have been intriguing and some have been down right scam artists. You see the topic of “white light healing” is very easily faked and easy to cover up just as well. Am I going to make some people angry with this little blog of mine, you’re damn right I am, but am I going to make some people put their skills to the test and prove I am wrong…I would hope so.

I thumbed through the book on “white light healing” and it was very confusing, read like stereo instructions in my honest opinion. So I decided to do some more research to get a better grasp on what they were trying to convince me. Now they talk about envisioning white light pouring over you or out of something and flowing freely like water in fact one quote is this, “…breathing in the pure white light, seeing it streaming down into your chest, and breathing out the grey…in with the white and pure…out with the grey, the old, and the worn…” This is some crazy tree hugging stuff right here my friend, in with the good air out with the bad, isn’t this from a CPR class or something?

Now if this is a form of meditation, which I think it is from what I have gathered, then why not just say it as that. Don’t say it’s “white light healing” when there is literally no white light involved or healing for that matter. If light was involved then we would be hanging Christmas lights or light bulbs over our heads, heck you could pull the ol’ eating a light bulb carney trick and replace that whole apple a day thing.

There doesn’t need to be some overly complicated series of instructions to teach people how to meditate and then call it some sort of “healing”. I could easily go up to someone who is full of anxiety and angst, say to them take a couple deep breaths and relax. Oh wait we all pretty much do that now, so why connect it with some sort of healing?

I can easily open up a store front, hang some awesome new age decorations and charge tons of cash for people to come to me and tell them to breath deep and relax thus resulting in them being healed. Of course if they go away and aren’t healed then I can easily say, “well you didn’t believe in mother earth and her Keebler elves of light healing so its your fault,” Yeah I can totally do that however I never would because I have way too much of a conscience, despite what people say, to do that. Yet there are people who are doing this, and I’m not talking about the people who do it because they believe in it, I’m talking about the people who are doing it because they are scams and cheats…and there are a lot of them.

 

In my travels around the world I have met many, many people who claim to have “white light healing” powers…superman had powers…you have a belief. Now I will admit I have met some people I would give a second though to in their abilities with stuff, but that’s like one out of a thousand people I meet in this realm. If people want to believe that this heals them then I am completely down with that, the placebo effect is a tried and true method to help many people overcome things. If you don’t know what that is then it is simply this, if you tell someone this red crystal like candy will heal them and if they believe it will work then it will work for them even though all it was is a simple watermelon jolly rancher.

Let’s call this “white light healing” what it really is…meditational deep breathing in order to help you relax and feel better. If you can prove to me rationally and scientifically that “white light healing” does in fact have some merit behind it then I am all ears and willing to retract what I have stated, but every time I make the challenge no one steps up to the plate, so I doubt anyone will at this point in time. As for taking classes to “perform”, and I say “perform” because it is a performance and not actually real, this ability for “white light healing” then I would love to see your course syllabus and explain to me how that scam works.

Be safe and we’ll leave the light on for ya,

Ghost Equipment…Adapt, Improvise & Overcome

Adapt, Improvise & Overcome is a motto generally assigned to the United States Marine Corp and they are by far the best at living up to this motto. They have accepted this motto because they generally aren’t given the funding as the other three braches and seem to get the hand-me-downs of weaponry and technology yet they use it better than the original armed force it was intended for. They are the masters of adaptation, improvisation and the ability to overcome any and all that is placed in front of them. Now by no means am I about to put Ghost Hunting and the outstanding US Marine corps in the same category, but I merely wanted you to know the origin and reason behind such a motto. Now onto why I used it to discuss Ghost Hunting and the equipment they (we) use for paranormal investigations.

In the realm of Ghost Hunting there is no equipment truly designed to catching, finding or discovering ghostly apparitions. All equipment is based off of loose understanding of what a paranormal entity is supposed to be. We use such equipment as K2, EMF, Digital Recorder or even FLIR Cameras to help us find those which we consider to create paranormal events. My question is why and how did we get to this point? I have talked with many a ghost hunter and have even e-mail some of the more popular TV shows about getting answers to some of the most basic of questions. The responses to these questions however are always the same or no response back from the e-mails. The responses are that this is how it is yet when I ask for more in depth to see if they know the reasoning why it’s because they have bought into the TV shows and their methodology.

I have been and continue to do research into the paranormal and find out answers to the basic of questions that nobody really knows why. I will try experiments to prove or disprove something…that’s what science is all about. Do ghosts really emit energy and draw energy out of the air to manifest? Why do ghost that appear as warm on a FLIR always leave cold spots which should register as dark colors? How do we know that digital recorders are truly reliable in capturing EVP when it could be something else? How do we conclude something is paranormal when it could be a simple environmental anomaly? These are the questions that I have no found a good answer on from anyone including those on the TV shows that I have had the privilege of talking with.

Now I am by no means a saint in this category as I have a number of pelican cases full of different types of equipment for experiments. I have bought some that was said to be built just for ghost hunting, but really is it? We are taking everyday equipment used for logical purposes and attempting to use it for something nobody understands. The paranormal can be a science as long as people treat it as such, don’t be so willing to give into the modern trend of what TV shows tell you. If you have a doubt, then experiment it until there is nothing left, but true evidence. Think outside of the box and research because it may be something very simple that you’re missing.

Be safe and try coloring outside the lines for once,

Jon Bolton
