Misc. and Etc., Diversions, Distractions and Delights

“A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.” –  Max Planck

Earlier in the week, Jack woke me up at dark thirty, barking like crazy. He charged off the bed and chased after something – unseen to me – tearing through the house to the back door. I followed and let him out. He was calmer when he came back in – no more barking.

A short time later, Andy saw an orange orb through the curtain. It was 3 ft. off the floor. He said it looked like a flashlight shining through fabric. As I was getting up today, I got a brief image and a male voice, so subtle I almost mistook it as my own thought. He said, “Have a nice day” … and the image vanished.

Might have something to do with the interviews I have been working on.

Wendy's Coffeehouse interview with Tricia Barker - Angels in the OR, NDE 

"I was an agnostic. I was like, okay consciousness survives. But then I saw the angels and I was like, What is this? This is different! This is otherworldly! I felt like a kid. They were so unexpected!" - Tricia Barker, NDE

It doesn't matter that Tricia's NDE was in in 1994, the awe and excitement is still in her voice when she talks about seeing the Angels. Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation, Amazon. 

Amazon Author Bio: As a college senior at The University of Texas at Austin, Tricia experienced an extraordinary near-death experience after a massive car wreck. In the afterlife, she learned that she must change her plans and work as a teacher. Tricia’s near-death experience story has been featured on A&E’s I Survived: Beyond and Back and covered by National Geographic.

Amazon Review: Chris Brethwaite 5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully written memoir centered around an exceptionally profound NDE - As a former IANDS (The International Association for Near-Death Studies) chapter head I have read a slew of NDE books over the past forty-some years. Tricia Barker's "Angels in the OR" is definitely one of my all-time favorites. Not only is her book beautifully written, but her mastery of the English language allows her to overcome the ineffability problem of describing an indescribable experience to a far greater extent than most experiencers.

Dining with Ghosts sold out this year. 2017 Weston Ghost Encounter - during the last night of the event, at the end of the evening, as the staff was cleaning up, someone was heard coming up the stairs. The footsteps sounded heavy and a large person was expected. No one appeared.
 
Earlier in the week, Verna said a woman who looked quite confused, told her she saw and felt a woman walk quickly past her in the hallway to the restroom but the door didn't open and the bathroom was empty.

That same tourist had her hair pulled by something when she went downstairs and then vacated the building to look in through the window. She returned as her friends searched with their cell phones trying to get a response or a glimpse of the ghost. They asked if the ghost was in the pictures on the wall. The woman said, 'Yes, that's her', and quickly departed for a final time.

She identified Creola [deceased former owner] as the woman she saw. Verna said the women had been ghost-hunting in Atchison with no results. Weston delivered.

Sci-Fi and Paranormal. Parallels beyond Time. The Polaroid "Ghost"? Ghostwriter remains an unsolved manifest tour de force from "Wright"

“The ufo is nothing more than an assertion of herself by the Goddess into history, saying to science and paternalistically governed and driven organizations: You have gone far enough. We are going to turn the world upside down. Your science is going to be shown up for what it is, nothing more than a pleasant metaphor usefully extrapolated into the production of toys for healthy children. That's what science is good for. >It is not some meta-theory at whose feet every point of view from astrology to acupressure to channeling need be laid to have the hand of science announce thumbs up or thumbs down.” - Terence McKenna

Did Philip K. Dick disclose the real matrix in in 1977? Video link: Open Culture.

Series of extracts (source) from one of Philip Dick's essays written in 1977 entitled "If You Find This World Bad, You Should See Some of the Others":

Philip K. Dick. "...I submit to you that such alterations, the creation or selection of such so-called 'alternate presents' is continually taking place. The very fact that we can conceptually deal with this notion - that is, entertain it as an idea - is a first step in discerning such processes themselves. But I doubt if we will ever be able in any real fashion to demonstrate, to scientifically prove, that such lateral change processes do occur. Probably all we would have to go on would be vestiges of memory, fleeting impressions, dreams, nebulous intuitions that somehow things had been different in some way - and not long ago, but NOW. We might reflexively reach for a light switch in the bathroom only to discover that it was - always had been - in another place entirely."

Mr. Dick speaks of a period in his own life where he "remembered" another reality in which he had just existed - a reality of a "prison." He was unaware of the fact that this was what he was writing about in Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said.

Dick says: "The world of Flow My Tears is an actual (or rather once actual) alternate world, and I remember it in detail. I do not know who else does. Maybe no one else does. perhaps all of you were always - have always been - here. But I was not. In novel after novel, story after story, over a twenty-five year period, I wrote repeatedly about a particular other landscape, a dreadful one. 

In March 1974, I understood why. 

... I had good reason to. My novels and stories were, without my realizing it consciously, autobiographical. It was - this return of memory - the most extraordinary experience of my life.

...You are free to believe me or disbelieve me, but please take my word on it that I am not joking; this is very serious; a matter of importance. I am sure that at the very least you will agree that for me even to claim this is in itself amazing. Often people claim to remember past lives; I claim to remember a different, very different, present life. .

...I rather suspect that my experience is not unique; what perhaps is unique is the fact that I am willing to talk about it." Continued. Link.

Paranormal visitations

2019 YouGov poll numbers show 45% of Americans believe in ghosts. Adding the political element. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to believe in Demons and Vampires. More than one-third of Americans (36%) say that they have personally felt the presence of a spirit or ghost. Just over one in ten (13%) Americans say that they have communicated directly with a ghost or spirit of someone who has died. Source.

Ghostwriter, Amazon
Ghost Photography

'Wright' - is the name claimed by the enigma who could
manifest actual letters and words on polaroids.
At one point the question was asked - where is Wright
when he is not appearing as a 'ghost'? The answer was 'flux'.

That leaves a lot to the imagination. And it does not provide
an answer to the real question. What is 'Wright' ...

The type of polaroid camera and the film used to capture
the messages from 'Wright' have been discontinued -
shutting down that method of interaction. But further communication may simply require another novel method
yet to be introduced. Is digital film a possibility or
has 'Wright' retired?

There have been multiple attempts to explain, define, debunk 
and refute the case. None successful.

Several thousand polaroids exist to stir the pot. Writing on the polaroids happened in the presence of witnesses on multiple occasions over a period of years. Author Joe Augustyn researched the case on site and was present to corroborate many events. He says most of the pictures in this book are being shared for the first time.

John Huckert lives in the "Wright" house and says paranormal activity is a constant presence. Our interview is posted in Wendy's Coffeehouse. He talks about several different types of supernatural encounters. However, the ghost writing experience is outstanding by far - in the fact that it delivered physical evidence of contact from another realm.

Ghostwriter is a fantastic example of what is possible when a door opens to the infinite and fear stands aside. 

According to The Daily Star, there are some 12 thousand photos with messages from the ghost. The book features several photos and provides translations of the messages. A novel feature: the ghost is multi-lingual.

One exchange resonates for me. Again, these answers are written on the polaroid images.
Question for Wright: “When might you show yourself to us?” 
Response: “When you are ready.”
Questions continue: “When will we be ready?” “What is stopping us?” 
Response: “Your fear.”

There is a wonderful example of that fear issue in the book. One guest decided to show up at their Halloween party dressed as the Grim Reaper. Page 173. The ghost had extra fun with him.

Ghostwriter: The Polaroid Ghost and Other True Tales of the Paranormal
by Joe Augustyn, Amazon
Preface by Dan Aykroyd
Foreword by Bill Murphy
Essays by Mary Maruca
With over 150 Polaroids, most never before seen.
Background from the website: On Friday, February 5, 1993, the Fox TV reality show SIGHTINGS examined what may be a landmark discovery in parapsychology: convincing evidence that ghosts exist and can actually communicate with us.

The ghost or spirit calls himself “WRIGHT”. He shows signs of erudition and intelligence, writing many of his messages in Latin. The ghost first appeared on film in March 1992.

Synchronicity - Paranormal Encounter on the home front

Personal side note. We had an unexplained early am house call on the day the Ghostwriter book arrived, 9.8.21.

Jack (dog) wanted out. 2:30 A.M. He headed for the door – then went on full-attack-mode-barking-frenzy. Andy rounded the corner in time to see Jack chasing a shadow figure. He said it looked more like a dark cloud blob thing than a human figure. It was about the same height as he was but there was no form to it. It glided through the room and seemed to exit through the front door but he lost track in the dark room.

Imagine my surprise a short while later - when talking to John Huckert - he mentioned frequent sightings of shadow people in the 'Wright' house. I regard the experience in our house as an affirmation - like a handshake - the enigma is checking in. This extra segment includes that conversation: Link.

Doesn't mean it will stay or that further contact in that manner is implied. It is simply the process of dots connecting. Reality check. We exist in the superficial layer. Realty operates at a deeper level. Shadows manifest for us to acknowledge the presence and wonder about all that and more and to imagine what else might exist in this reality - flying under our radar - encouraging us to question, evolve, grow and know more.

A ghost is a ghost - except when it is isn't. It might something we have yet imagine.

Variations in Flux
 
Very difficult to identify the Matrix and to notice each and every foreign element from within. The guides gave me a dream scene to ponder years ago. It compares to the blind men and the elephant parable. Wiki

They showed me a section of huge metal sheet with holes in it. The sheet curved but it was so large I only saw the portion directly in front of me. I 'knew' (assumed) it was a colander. But it was impossible for me to find a way to view the entire structure to confirm that assessment/assumption.

I thought one possibility was if there were a way to create a mirror and see the object in the reflection. I didn't have a mirror. 

The guides responded. One who is unable to see the entire scene is forced to work with that disadvantage - to address the issue from one point of view. All else is conjecture.

It took me years to get the joke. At this level - on the manifest plane of reality - we are dealing with a sheet full of holes.

That which is seen in our limited view ... is a ghost of the real thing. 

They have a wicked sense of humor. To give them credit - they have also saved my life. I listen. I question and I learn.

Recent Facebook convo - 

Q - Gary: Hey Wendy, I have a thought for you. What if the Wachowskis’s brothers were correct! What if we really are in the current Matrix? Most of us have no idea that we are in the Matrix and very few believe that we are. Both the Oracle and the Architect realize the human need machines.

Councilman Hamann states, “I like to be reminded that this (Zion) city survives because of these machines. If we wanted, we could smash them to bits, although if we did we would have consider what would happen to our lights, our heat, our air.” So we need the machine and they need us.

Now the question for you to ponder, in the Matrix, the Smiths were agents (programs) to protect the Matrix’s program and keep the Resistance contained. In the movie, when an Agent enters the Matrix they abduct a program (human). Where does this program (human) go while the Agent has control of this program (their body)?

Is it possible that these are Agent (Alien) abduction? Maybe, just maybe, we are transported to the REAL (Alien) world and our “Matrixed” minds can only explain it as an Alien abduction?"

A - Wendy: Excellent. Good interpretation. Many would agree. - Through a glass, darkly.... what we see is only what our [individual] software is capable of accessing and integrating .. and that is unique to each perceiver ... lots of cool stuff gets lost or misperceived in translation ... and that's a fun challenge!

No matter what it seems -- no one here has a full deck. 😉 Fun times! 😃

Soooooooooo... the challenge is to level up! Cheers!

Reply - Gary: Excellent response.

PS. Philip K. Dick. The Guardian: The author and journalist Charles Platt did a definitive interview with Dick three years before he died.

Paranormal on Parade, “The Bigfoot Alien Connection Revealed”, Alien Implants and Magic in the Moonlight...


You are magic, you are divine, 
In you, all things are possible. 


~
Middle of the night. I am aware something is touching my arm. In the cabin at the lake, I have fallen asleep on the couch. And, because of the odd sleeping location, I have apparently draped my arm across my face.

A sensation wakens me. It feels like a feather brushing lightly across the skin on the back of my arm. It tickles. I move my arm slightly and am blinded by a bright light.

Annoyed now, I wonder why Andy is standing over me shining his flashlight in my face. I don’t like the joke and tell Andy to get the light out of my face. I am now squinting, wondering what is going on and irritated at being awakened like that.

Gradually, my eyes begin to focus and I realize the bright light in my eyes is the full moon shining through the skylight. I hear Andy softly snoring in the bedroom, still asleep. Jack and Gracie (our dogs) are in there with him. There is no one standing beside me.

Curious, fully awake and wondering at the purpose for this interaction, I project my question in a thought and ask whomever is with me (that I cannot see) what the point was in waking me up.

The reply: “There’s magic in the moonlight. Sleep through it and you will miss it.” 
~

 An interesting thing I remember about that moment is the definite sensation of someone standing beside me, touching me with something that felt like a feather brushing across my arm. It was only after I figured out the bright light was the moon and not Andy with a flashlight, I noticed a shift in the energy.

The space where I thought Andy had been standing felt very empty, like something was missing. I can’t explain that. However, I did get the message. Now I know I can look for magic in the moonlight.

# # #

Monday night, after I had been working on setting up interviews and trying to determine scheduling, I got in bed and reviewed a few notes. I heard something crack. This sound had happened a day or so earlier and I didn’t see anything out of place so I let it go.

Now, having heard the sound before, I wondered what it was. It was a louder crack this time. I didn’t see anything on the floor. Then it happened again, and it was almost like something was directly behind me in the headboard. I got up and shifted the pillows, looked at the mattress and box springs, thinking the entire time how amusing it would appear to whomever was originating the sound. 

Knowing I was being toyed with, I went to the TV room to tell Andy something was up. He asked where the cat was. I told him the cat was not in the room.

When I returned to the bedroom, Jack came with me. He positioned himself on the pillow and stared at the headboard. I spoke to him and he held his gaze, fixed directly at the headboard, confirming my suspicion. Whomever it was, was engaging with him. Yes, we had company and I would figure it out later. I went to sleep.

# # #

I plow through a lot of material, searching daily for links to bookmark and potential interview content. Today, the film, “The Bigfoot Alien Connection Revealed” has my answer. Andy and I were watching together when I heard the familiar sound.

As they discuss Sasquatch activity and attempt to record sounds, one sound repeats several times. Like the sound of a board or wood breaking, it is a ‘crack’ and also happens to be the same name I gave for the sound I was trying to source when examining my headboard and the boards under the box springs.

I also have to remember there was more than a sound. I felt a presence. I also told Andy I had the sense of it being a game. The energy felt like something/someone was playing with me.

The film also includes another familiar phrase while discussing contact and interaction with Sasquatch/Bigfoot. “Expect the unexpected.”

Make your own connections. The film is available on Amazon and free for Prime members. Preview the trailer.

 

What you are seeking is seeking you.

Maybe that sounds familiar. It's no joke. When we learn how powerful our thoughts are, we will understand how easily and inadvertently we telegraph our intent to others.

The PSI prompts I am given by my guides in regard to encouraging us to hone our telepathic ability are about more than us improving psychic awareness. As we improve and tune into other realms, we will also be clued into how loudly our thoughts register on the higher planes and how easy we are to read so that we may fine tune and better direct our broadcast.

Ingo Swann had an introduction to this while remote-viewing the Moon. Regarding it as a general, albeit highly sensitive, assignment, he witnessed the presence of beings who were working on a project of some sort.

The curve came when he saw that – even in his remote-viewing, OBE, psychic state – a couple of those beings were aware of his presence. And that was clearly evidenced when they started motioning in his direction. Penetration, Special Edition, Humanoids on the Moon, page 40.

Incoming energy waves now are triggering an intensifying ebb and flow of PSI activity and awareness. With this Covid-19 ‘time out’ from routine, there are opportunities for non-ordinary encounters that might easily be tuned out when the schedule is otherwise full of obligations. Such insight opens doors to new awareness.

We are undergoing a re-set in consciousness. Adjustment brings an opportunity to activate and engage intuition in determining actions that serve a higher purpose in going forward. Awakening heart frequencies, a catalyst for empaths and a challenge for intuitives. The amplified frequency of the incoming waves can be overwhelming. Some are drained and some are empowered.

No judgement. It simply varies given the activities at hand. Stay focused.

Wendy's Coffeehouse 

Just me this weekend on KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM, Sunday night at 8 p Central. Or catch the show in the Archives. I am covering some of my paranormal normal.

Related to the topic of aliens and sasquatch, Brian Bland is a Sasquatch experiencer. I’ll post my interview with him in the Wendy’s Coffeehouse archives in May.

If you have extra time to explore novel topics, check out Patient Seventeen. What happens when you have an experience you can't talk about because the only people comfortable with the topic are other experiencers.
Image credit: Terry Lovelace

Alien implants - a topic that can quickly clear a room. And that's too bad. With solid research and good questions we might find out the extent of this type of contact phenomenon and how current experiencers cope.

I spoke with Terry Lovelace about his implant and he shared the image. A tiny piece of metal with two wires attached, embedded in his leg. Interview link.

Another interview booked for May is Steve Colbern, research partner with Roger Leir, the subject of Patient Seventeen. I'm hoping to find out what happened after the cliffhanger ending of that documentary.


Thank you for listening!
Stay curious.
Be well.

Upgrading the quarantine mental scenery with New Thought, UFOs and Sasquatch ...


Light only seems to travel. It is but one more of the countless illusions caused by wave motion. Waves of the ocean seem to traverse the ocean but they only appear to do so, for waves are pistons in the universal engines, and pistons operate up and down. Wave pistons of light, or of the ocean, operate radially and spirally inward and outward, toward and away from gravity. - Walter Russell, The Secret of Light, Chapter XII


Nikola Tesla told Walter Russell to lock his cosmology in a sepulcher for a thousand years because mankind was not ready for it. Though a century or more ahead of its time, The Universal One, uniting spiritual Cause and scientifically observable Effect in a seamless whole, is now appealing to the many people—scientists and laymen alike—who are examining the nature of science and consciousness. Philosophy.org

*ONE tiny clue that UFO 'travel' - has nothing to do with the 'speed of light'.*

My interview with UFO Abductee/Experiencer Terry Lovelace airs this weekend on KCMO Talk Radio 710 AM at 8pm central time, Sunday night.

Scheduled to appear at the Ozark Mountain UFO conference in Arkansas this April, the event has been postponed to July. Also on the previous presenter schedule: Whitley Strieber and David Paulides. Presenter line up may change with the new date. Details in the above link. Virtual attendance is also an option.

Terry's book is Incident at Devils Den. He was intrigued when he saw David had covered numerous cases involving missing persons cases that all had one unique commonality. That quirk was the word 'Devil' in the name of the area where they went missing or experienced unexplained phenomena.



There is a longer interview with Terry already posted here: Wendy's Coffeehouse archives. The show Sunday has been edited to 39 minutes for broadcast and will upload after (sometimes prior) it airs.

Terry's encounter story is compelling due to the physical souvenir he has to remind him of the experience, along with supporting documentation and photographs.

Interesting footnote. After Terry went public with his story, the military helicopter fly-bys began.

Even more interesting footnote. Terry tells the story of going camping with his friend 'Toby' and how it was his own interest in photography that played a part. After the encounter, they abandoned everything and left it at the campsite (That's how the military later tracked them down.)

Terry's camera wasn't in that stash. He left it at home, seemingly unaware or concerned about it.

Odd.

I told Terry I suspected the 'idea' to go camping originated from a different source. He followed up with a mention of childhood memories about the 'monkeys' in his bedroom.

John Foster UFOs, Ghosts, Paranormal, Comedy short film, truth seeded in Ancient History timelines


"This is a lengthy complex story that affects not only my life but yours, and many other things such as science, religion and history from many angles. It gives one insight into what UFOs really are." - John Foster, Eminent Discovery series, John Foster UFOs


Wendy's Coffeehouse web exclusive: Interview with UFO experiencer John Foster. Books are available on Amazon and he also sells UFO drawings. I am sharing this drawing with permission.

More Drawings 
Overview: 
  1. they simply came in flying over the trees or we simply turned around and they were there (we didn’t see the mysterious manifestation)
  2. a gradual appearance from distorted atmosphere, sometimes in what seemed to be a light electric corona (the corona most often being blue)
  3. a gradual appearance from light blue or gray haze
  4. a gradual appearance from dense fog
  5. a gradual appearance from fog or clouds after the fog or clouds violently hissed and roared into the atmosphere, sometimes from tiny pinpoints
  6. an instant manifestation from a brilliant flash and loud explosion, like dynamite.
    Who they are and their purpose: "When I was eighteen years old, they told me (or a friend and I) that they were an ancient/modern brotherhood, the monitors or keepers of the earth, who were responsible to the arch angels Michael and Gabriel, who were responsible to the entity we have known as Christ, who is in charge of this corner of the universe. They said they could not interfere with the affairs of humankind except at certain times, when things were going awry or were dangerous. They said this was one of those times, one of those eras."
    Important Information: "They told us that they were preparing people for a time when they would return to take them away. Those who were willing and qualified would go and those who weren’t would stay and suffer some kind of consequence I don’t recall." - John Foster, Chapter 9, Eminent Discovery.

On the Overview Effect: "My experience was to realize that perhaps our science is wrong at answering these questions and perhaps our religious cosmologies are archaic and flawed.

About the film. From the MABRC info page:
Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center was approached by Osiyo.TV, the television broadcasting company of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma to help with an episode about Bigfoot in the Cherokee Tribal Boundaries.

For nearly six months, we went into the field with camera crews, interviews and more to put together this episode in which the producer and his crew did an excellent job of putting it together.

We hope that this production meets the approval of the Bigfoot Community as we worked our hardest to make it as accurate and scientific as possible.

Paranormal - x3

1/Haunted Rental. True story, mine. 12/26/19
Some details are confidential. New tenant discovered, after finding dried blood in various locations, their rental home had been the site of a brutal murder. Aside from the various legal issues (including failure to disclose and failure to sanitize the crime scene prior to renting), there have been hints of paranormal activity. Interesting side note: a visiting child looked down the hall to the room where much of the activity is located, paused and said to the adult, "That's creepy. Need to shut the door."


2/Ghost - posted on Reddit: 12/31/19 Hands
When I was four, I was helping my father clean up and repair my Grandmother's back patio. Since I was four this mostly consisted of me playing and occasionally handing my dad something he asked for. The patio was made of flagstones, and we were rearranging some and picking up broken ones to be replaced.

I moved a few broken pieces out of the way and noticed something white in the dirt. I dug for a bit and then called my dad over because it was bones and I felt I shouldn't touch them. It was the bones of a hand not much bigger than my own. My dad ended up turning them over to the police, and I later found out that the house there prior to my grandmother's had burned down with a man and his son inside. So, my dad said it was probably the kid's hand, though he didn't know why they hadn't found it when the family was buried after the fire was put out.

After the hand was dug up, I started seeing the ghost of a boy with no hand bones. His hands were so floppy and gross. He was wearing old fashioned looking blue and white pajamas and he never talked. He looked super sad and really pale with big circles under his eyes. He used to follow me around while I was trying to play and I'd tell him to go away and leave me alone (parents saw me shouting at him a lot though of course they couldn't see him) since he was so weird. The creepiest thing he would do is ooze out of the heating vent in my playroom, floppy hands first. Could not stand that kid.

In the woods behind my grandmother's house, at night I'd often see a ghost light wandering around. Years after the hand incident, I saw it was a lantern being carried by a middle aged due with a grayed out beard. I told my dad what he looked like and he said he thought it might be the dad who had died in the fire. He called him Old Man Motley but I never found any news articles or anything so I think he just made the name up for me. I saw him a few more times after that. I think he was looking for his kid.

They both felt so strange and sad...


3/Time-Warp on a Hiking trail - posted on Reddit: 12/31/19 
Some years ago - I’d say 2014/2015 - my sis and I were scouring all hiking trails in San Jose and one afternoon decided upon a small but semi-reputable sounding one. We parked after surviving a badly made 1-way road, and started out with our dog around 3-3:30. The trail markers weren’t in great condition but we still easily found a main path to a scenic overview. It was a 20-30 minute hike which curved gently around a giant rock and relatively straightforward.

We got to the overlook, admiring views of a dam and town for a good minute before turning around to start back. We turned around, and it was as if the straightforward trail we’d just been on had vanished and there was only one to the left going up and one to the right, going down. At first we thought “okaaay, this is weird, but let’s just get back.” Tried the path going up and around a hill, didn’t seem right. At this point I said “well, the gates close in 45 minutes, we have time if we can connect back with the trail we took.” So we went back to the one heading down, and somehow kept going further down the mountain when it should’ve joined with the main one.

We knew something was wrong when the direction wasn’t changing and it was getting dark. So keep in mind that we parked at 3ish, got to the overlook at 4, and by 6-6:30 were lost. Thank everything I’d brought my mobile charger and there was a clear spot with reception halfway up the trail we were on and at the top where it intersected. I had to call 911 who had to call the park service to get someone to pick us up (the listed park’s emergency numbers were useless).

Once we were rescued, it was a good 15 minute drive back to the lot. Now had the main trot been that long, we never would’ve made it to the scenic overlook with the sun still up. A 20-30 minute walk on an obvious main trail with plenty of light still, and we ended up needing a drive back that would’ve taken us 2 hours to walk. Not to mention my sis’s dog who is typically very good with knowing where to go, was frightened and confused.

We are convinced we got caught in a vortex or time warp of some kind because we can’t explain how a fairly short walk put us hours away from the car.

Keith Linder, The Story continues - Attachments: Poltergeist of Washington State Part 2.


“I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud. ” - Psychiatrist Dr. Carl Jung in a 1919 address to the Society for Psychical Research in England 


Interview with Keith Linder: Attachments - living with Poltergeists.


Interviewing Keith Linder a second time, (Previous Interview) we recap the initial story of his harrowing poltergeist experience while living in The Bothell (Hell) House and then continue with an introduction of Book 2. Attachments:Poltergeist of Washington State Part 2. The activity didn't end when Keith relocated. It followed him. 

Having weathered the initial slings and arrows of skeptics when a popular US ghost hunter failed to encounter any activity during a brief stop over, Keith persisted in contacting researchers who might be able to corroborate his claims. He succeeded. Two subsequent investigations produced sufficient results indicating an active poltergeist presence.

Visit American Supernatural for the investigation backstory. Watch the free documentary on YouTube: Demons in Seattle.



Researchers who invested more than a few hours on site at the Bothell House vindicated Keith.
Here is one of the substantiating documents (*link) attesting to the status of the residence as having paranormal activity.

When it comes to EVPs, this case has some fascinating evidence. Link: Presentation with Bothell House EVPs. Parapsychologist Steve Mera says they only heard the phrases after they replayed the audio. Read the full report. Link.

4 years in the Bothell House took a personal toll. Keith's relationship tanked. However, what he discovered about former residents suggests others who endured similar activity were even less fortunate. Those details are for the reader to uncover.

Critics of haunting cases often cite lack of corroborating evidence: pictures, recordings, witnesses, duration of activity. It can remain dormant for visitors. Investigators do capture evidence in this case.

What book two gets into actually examines the poltergeist relationship to the experiencer. Interaction is a crucial element and NOT the fault of the person rather a flash-point trigger that opens a door and provides an energy source sufficient enough to produce a manifest outcome. More research is needed to determine the attraction factor.

---
I have two examples of emotional engagement: 
Receptivity: One family is attached and have made every effort to accommodate their ghost. I was asked if it could relocate with them. Ghost interacts and touches in a soothing manner - they find it comforting and view it as protective. The entity presented a stable presence. 

Curiosity: Another person, working as a handyman and staying overnight at a property rather than returning home, discovered the building was quite active. Unprepared for this type of encounter, items were moved. He was touched and heard his name. The touch was feminine and intimate. Not unpleasant. But - incredibly out of the ordinary and unsettling. Also flattering. His reality cracked. 
---

Honestly, Keith is an excellent poltergeist witness. An IT guy, he has knowledge regarding best equipment to capture evidence and then follow up in documenting events he witnesses but can't explain. And when he hits a wall, he regroups and figures out what to adjust in order to counter the block and correct the applications. Most importantly, his expertise with the equipment gave him an advantage in knowing what should and should not happen in the event of electronic malfunctions.

Kicking Poltergeist tires is not an innocent pastime. As Keith discovered, they don't require sleep and, when provoked, have more octane to work with. Our rules are not their rules.

What do poltergeists do? They make you question your reality. Some of what Keith describes is also highly seductive and erotic, supplying an intentional temptation to let it ride.

Heartbeat sounds coming from the mattress? That's in the book. Book 3 is next.

*Link source: The Bothell (Hell) House Haunting recap: Bothell Reporter.

Amazon, Book 1: "This case is right up there with the most frightening of poltergeist cases: the Enfield Poltergeist, the South Shields Poltergeist, the Bridgeport Connecticut case, and the Matthew Manning case; all well-researched and detailed in various books and documentaries over the years. The Bothell Hell House is a major work, a turning point in poltergeist research -Well done." Robb Tilley of the Australian Institute of Parapsychology Research.
