The Legendary Palmer House Hotel - Sauk Centre, Minnesota

Posted: 23 May 2010 01:45 PM PDT

ksax - The legendary Palmer House Hotel is one of the most haunted hotels in the nation.

"It operates today as it did in 1900," Owner Kelley Freese said.

The Palmer House stands today as it did more than a century ago. As the first building in Sauk Centre to have electricity, it was a destination for many, and Freese said some of those guests haven't left.

"The activity has really been intense in the kitchen, and there's a man that walks around in the dining room that several of us have seen," Freese said.

The man she sees isn't real. He's an apparition.

"You go there only to find nobody's there," she explained.

Paranormal investigators come from all over to investigate this haunted hotel. KSAX investigated. As we walked up the stairs it got colder even though no windows were open and there's no air conditioning.

"There's just no way to explain it," Freese said.

The cold turned into almost a breeze when Freese turned on the antique phonograph, playing old music.

Many experience the unexplained during their time in the hotel. A guest took this unaltered picture, not realizing what they captured. In the picture there's an image of something floating in the window's reflection in the mirror.

In some of our video, a dot of light appears out of nowhere. It's a light anomaly, which is an unexplained source of light, dancing around in from of the same window.

"That could be a person," Freese said as we described what we were seeing.

Freese said a light anomaly is one of the most concrete pieces of paranormal evidence caught on camera, because much of the activity comes when you least expect it.

"Books have come flying off the shelf in the pub," Freese recalled. "Literally off the bookshelves, over the top of the table and land on the other side of the room."

"A lot of people get touched. I've had my hair pulled and my arm yanked back," Paranormal Investigator Lisa Lee said.

Another source of evidence is sound.

"We've heard voices," Lee explained. "We've heard dogs barking in the basement."

"Could you tell me what your name is," Sherry Johnson said, speaking to a little girl no one could see.

Johnson used a modified radio to pick up sound during our investigation.

"Spirits can use the voices and the words already in our airwaves. They can answer our questions by pulling those words out and sending them out through the radio," Johnson said.

While sitting in the playroom, Johnson spoke with the spirits of children. We heard a quiet voice say one word, "nervous" through the radio.

Johnson and Freese have heard more voices caught on tape in the hotel's basement.

"Do you recognize anyone in the room," they asked. A voice from someone no one could see responded, "Kelley."

More often than not the presence of ghosts or spirits is a feeling, but sometimes when you least expect it the guests you can't always see in the Palmer House will surprise you; whether it's an apparition, a moving object, or a voice telling you to leave.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES WITH HOTEL GUESTS & STAFF

What is wrong with the picture above? Kelley, owner of The Palmer House Hotel, Restaurant and Pub, received this picture by e-mail from a guest. The guest reportedly walked around the hotel and took photos of some of the hotel's uniqueness and distinct features, not realizing she was capturing something much more. This photo was not altered in any way

*Statements have not been altered or edited

"My sister in law and I had some small experiences in room 17! I kept hearing my name being called when I was the only one in the room and the entire floor! The voice was a woman's and was in the room with me. My sister in law sat in the chair next to the tv and ended up moving from there after ten minutes. She had this strong sadness come over her and she didn't know why. She was tearing up and everything. Then when we went to bed she felt someone laying on top of her. My sister and her friend stayed in room 22 and did not experience anything, but that was okay."
(Becky Ballard, 9-12-09, Hotel Guest in Room 17)

"Last night, my girls (Angie and Jenna) and I stayed at your hotel with my mother-in-law, Sandy. The stay was a birthday present to me and girls from Sandy because she knows the three of us have an interest in ghosts. (To believe or not to believe) Well, we arrived with the expectation that nothing would happen but we would have bragging rights about spending the night at a 'real' haunted hotel." [Read More]
(Tracee Swanson, 10-11-09, Room Unknown, Adults/Teenagers)

Ghost Lore: A young boy died while staying at the hotel and he can be seen and heard bouncing his ball down the hallways. A man haunts many of the rooms of the hotel and is believed to throw glasses in the bar. Mysterious knocks have been heard from several of the rooms in the hotel. The hotel is haunted by Sinclair Lewis. There are bodies and bones buried beneath the hotel in the basement. Several guests have reported that although everything in the hotel was above their expectations, someone had let their kid run through the hallway all night long. The owner was very hesitant to tell them that on those nights, no children were staying in the hotel. Bartenders also told us that glasses that are stored on hanging hooks under the bar have come flying off the hooks, landing, and breaking clear across the room. Room 11 is often the site of many reports. It is said to be forever cold, as the room needs to be heated while other rooms are using air conditioner

"Lying in bed and waiting to fall asleep after investigating when I start hearing my name being called. I tell them I'm trying to sleep now. I've been trying to communicate with someone all night, now I'm trying to sleep and I find this a bit rude of you to come to me now. But if you do have something to say and it's something short, I would like to hear it. I hear the name Benjamin and then I got the name Lancaster. I heard Lancaster a few times and then they put the names together as Benjamin Lancaster. Then I hear the name Ellie. Seemed like this Benjamin person was looking/searching for an Ellie."
(Michelle, 1-11-09, Room Unknown, Adult)

"Room 9, the name of "Chapman" comes to them. Room 11, an 18 year old having a baby. Cramden"-suicide in the early 50's. Leisel."
(Total stranger walking in to The Palmer House, 9-1-07)

"Yesterday I was coming down the stairs then I heard a thump, thump, thump, WUMP. Then a twisted broken shape of an old man with a snapped cane looked at me then evaporated. Just like snap! Not like gone, like having the skin floating off. Fast, until nothing was left! Maybe because the palmer house was built on top of a destroyed one, the spirits of the perished might be here. But nobody knows what the true reason is."
(Greg & Laurel, 12-30-06, 10 years old)

"When we were going to bed, the thermostat got cooler! And nobody had turned it down! And when we went to bed I heard a ball tap up stairs. We heard a knock at the door at 1:30AM. A book was open and when we returned to the rooms it was closed. This is a cool Hotel."
(Atreya, 10-22-06, Room 11, Child Age Unknown)

"While sleeping I was awoke by something slapping my bare leg that hung out of the covers. As my eyes fluttered open I saw something scoot by my face. Needless to say, I had a hard time staying asleep after that. Also, a really cold pocket of air was by my face for a short while, and the bathroom floor kept getting mysteriously wet for no reason."
(Jessica Rose & Daryl, 10-08-06, Room 2-3, Adult)

"I was sitting in the bar having a pizza when suddenly a shadow flew on the wall in front of me and I felt wind all around me. When I looked behind me, though, there was nothing there. Okay, that was only my first night, so tonight I'll write more. Wow, our sound machine turned itself off last night. I woke up to go to the bathroom about 3:00 and it was off."
(Paul Landiero, 8-25-06, Room 9, Adult)

"I was in the bathroom around noon and I went to wash my hands when the water, which I had put on cold, all of a sudden was burning and steaming hot. Then I went to tell my family and wrote it right here."
(Parker Hill, 8-06-06, Adult stopped for lunch)

"We were staying to show our horses at the Arabian show. Sunday morning we were up early at 6AM. About 6:45, we heard a knock on the door-very clearly! I went immediately to the door and there was no one there, not a soul in sight up or down the entire hallway. And apparently the ghost in this hotel lies to read westerns, as a paperback copy of "Streets of Laredo" disappeared from our room as well!"
(Leesa Schofield, 9-06-03, Room 19, Adult)

"We came in here one night because I read in Minnesota Ghost Stories about this place. I wanted to come here just to see if anything happened. My friend and I were sitting down at the bar and we met these group of kids around our age. They had a video camera and asked if we wanted to go in the basement with them. We went down there and started to look around and the girl w/the camera asked me if I wanted to video tape. She told me to go in the little dark room. I had the light on the camera so I could see. I walked in and I hate the dark to begin with, but it felt extra spooky in there. I had the camera on the wall and there was a door leaning on the wall. As I had the camera in that direction, the door fell down right in front me me and made this huge bang. Everyone screamed and ran out of there and I was frozen in place. There was definitely something strange about that basement. I never got those people's numbers but we do have that on video tape. That was definitely an experience I will never forget!"
(Elise Rodgers 10-29-?, Room 12, Adult)

"The weekend of August 6-7, 2005, we were staying for the Arabian horse show. On the first night of our stay in room 13 at The Palmer House, Betsy's cell phone rang around 1:46AM. The phone displayed the letter "P" and said no contacts as that name. In the morning, she double checked her phone under recent calls and it showed up as unavailable. On the second day, we were unable to find both our keys. Emma had come up to the room and used one of the keys to let herself in and the rest of us had used the other one. Betsy then left with her purse and had not taken a key with her. We were looking all over for one of the keys when Betsy returned and said she had on of the keys in her purse, even though it was not there before."
(Betsy, Carol, Emma, Mary, Kelsey, 9-6-05, Room 13, Adults/Kids)

"I arrived at The Palmer House on Saturday, June 10, at approximately 3:00pm. My mother and I were traveling together and we were meeting my brother and his wife for a two night stay." [Read More]
(Becky and family, 6-10-06, Rooms 17, 18 and 19, Adults)

"I was reading my fav book on the steps and all of the sudden I heard my cousins name and my name. Then I heard a snap sound. Then I saw a figure. It looked like it was a mother and her boy. It looked like the boy was bouncing his ball and I heard a big groan. I just heard a lil girl and it must have been a ghost. The toilet flushed once and no one was in there. I was just sitting outside of room 16 and I heard something in the hall. I looked up and down the when I heard footsteps and no one was there."
(Briannah, 7-29, 30, 31-06, Rooms 16 and 13, Child)

"Gost's come here. Do some werd things. This Place is HANTED"
(Kantrovich, 5-03-05, Room 21, Child)

"My friend and I came from Fargo looking for a good scare, and we did see a few things. Upon arriving, I immediately felt drawn to a specific chair in the front entryway…then, after we checked in, I felt drawn down the hallway to my right at the top of the stairs on the 2nd floor, but we were staying in room 17 (on the 3rd floor), so we went all the way up and dropped our things. Shortly after being in the room, we found that many of our batteries were dead (we'd brought some equipment to catch/record something) and so we left again to go buy some." [Read More]
(KEJ, 10-22-06, Room 17, Adult)

"Ever since I directed a play in a haunted theatre in Cheyenne, Wyoming, I've been curious about ghosts and haunted places, and when I travel, I try to go and see peculiar places with eerie stories associated with them. A couple of years ago, in France, I stopped in a supposedly haunted castle, on the edge of a creepy forest. In that castle, there had once been a witch trial, and the place even had its resident black cat!" [Read More]
(Paula Egan Wright, 7-13-03, Room 13, Adult)

"We stayed at The Palmer House for the 1st time to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. When we told our friends that we were going to be staying there, the common response that we got was "That place is haunted." I didn't mind that too much since I grew up in a home that we considered "haunted" also. Some strange unexplained happenings were experienced there too." [Read More]
(Joel & Brenda Wollem, 10-28-06, Room 1, Adults)

"As with any new job, I wanted to be sure that I made a good first impression. I vacuumed the dining room and made sure that all of the tables were set with placemats and silverware. I was slightly disgusted that, on several tables, the silverware seemed to have been thrown on haphazardly. But I straightened it all out and went to check the bathrooms. A few hours later, I went to double-check that everything was clean. When I checked the dining room, many of the sets of silverware had been moved!" [Read More]
(Night Clerk, June-August 2002)

"A young boy died while staying at the hotel, and he can be seen and heard bouncing his ball down the hallways. A man haunts many of the rooms of the hotel and is believed to throw glasses in the bar. Mysterious knocks have been heard from several of the rooms in the hotel. Is the hotel is haunted by Sinclair Lewis. There are bodies and bones buried beneath the hotel in the basement." [Read More]
(Excerpts from "The Minnesota Road Guide to Haunted Locations" - By Chad Lewis & Terry Fisk - Ghost Lore)

Stories told to current owner, Kelley:

"An older couple came in to have lunch one day. She informed me that her grandfather, Clarence Grindy (sp?) had fallen down the first flight of stairs, leading up to the hotel, and died."
(As told to the owner Kelley by lunch guests, 1-31-08)

Florida Resident Witnessed 'Portal' Open From Bright Anomaly

Posted: 23 May 2010 12:58 PM PDT

Witness' illustration

The following report was filed by a Florida resident who has no explanation after witnessing a small, bright, white light moved across their lawn and then opened up into what seemed to be a portal...Lon

MUFON witness report - Florida - unedited: Hello, My Name is Paul E. I'm writing this because I have witnessed an event that I would like to share. I will be holding back some of what I witnessed so I can verify if anyone else has seen what I saw.

It was Late November, 2009. It had just turned dark outside. I was sitting in our back screen room. When I saw a small blinking light about 8 feet away in the grass. My first thought was it was a lightning bug, but I live in Tampa Florida and I have not seen one since I moved here in 1984.

I also noticed that this light was Bright White not yellow, as is a lightning bug. The flash duration was about one second on , 5 seconds off. And as I watched it was moving toward where I was sitting. I tried to figure out what was causing this, looking around for anything that might be reflecting off of something in the grass.

But as I watched, it just kept flashing and moving in what would be slightly to my left.

As It came closer, lets say about 6 feet away I still could not make out what it was. I stood up and moved to the corner edge of my screen room (where our dog had tore the screen) and leaned out looking down. I was at this time only about 3 feet from the light when it stop flashing and began to get brighter and brighter.

Baffeled at what was happening. I stared at this thing that began to roll around like it had flat sides on it. I still could not make out any shape to the object. I leaned down as close as I could without falling trying to see something,

As I did this, it began to vibrate very fast.

So Here I am Leaning out of our screen room watching as a very bright, very small (maybe 1 quarter of an inch) light no more than 36 inches from me. I didn't know what to think, then (heres the good part) I could see some kind of a square outline in the middle of the light, and then all of a sudden it shot up into some type of a portal within maybe 4 inches off the ground, and it was GONE.

Needless to say I could not believe what I had just witnessed.

Because the portal (lack of anything else to call it) slowly dissolved. Dripping some sort of metal like fluid. Which dispersed before hitting the ground (This is where I am going to hold something back.) Since this happen, I was consumed by what had happen, so much so I had to try and draw this, And I didn't do that well. I have attached a low res file.

MY QUESTION TO YOU. Craft, Entity or device? And where the heck did it go? Has anything like this been reported before?

PS. One more thing, scifi shows do not do this justice.

Kevin Costner to the Rescue!

Posted: 23 May 2010 01:05 PM PDT

independent - Desperate times call for desperate measures. So with hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil still spewing into the Gulf of Mexico each day, and its corporate image starting to resemble the tar-covered sea creatures now washing on to Louisiana's fragile shoreline, BP has called on Kevin Costner to help stave off environmental Armageddon.

The Hollywood star has been bobbing around the Mississippi Delta helping representatives of the British oil firm and US coastguard test-drive a stainless steel device called the Ocean Therapy. In a claim which sounds as unlikely as the plot premise of Waterworld, he says it can quickly and efficiently clean oil from tainted sea water.

Bizarrely, Costner may be on to something. The actor has spent 15 years and roughly $26m (£18m) of his personal fortune developing the patented machine with the help of his elder brother Dan, a scientist. It works like a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking up dirty liquid and then using a high-speed centrifuge to separate it into oil, and heavier water.

When he allowed the local media to see Ocean Therapy in action – albeit on dry land – it appeared to work as advertised. Yesterday, six of the devices were attached to boats and floated into the Gulf, so the organisers of the clean-up operation could see whether they might also be capable of functioning on the high seas.

"This is a technology that we know works, and has worked for a long time," Costner said, adding that 26 of the machines are now in Louisiana ready to be put into action. "I'm just really happy that the light of day has come to this, and I'm very sad about why it is. But this is why it was developed, and like anything that we all face, as a group, we face it together."

Costner, 55, has quietly been developing Ocean Therapy since the mid-1990s when he founded the Costner Industries Nevada Corporation, a company which funded eco-friendly research by his brother and a team of scientists. Aside from the water cleaning device, the firm has also invented a non-chemical battery.

Each of the 26 Heath Robinson-style machines now in Louisiana waiting to be deployed can clean between 5 and 200 gallons of water a minute, depending on its size, said Costner's lawyer and business partner, John Houghtaling, which means they could in theory mop up oil at the rate it is currently gushing into the Gulf. Polluted sea water which passes through them comes out 97 per cent clean.

"Kevin saw the Exxon Valdez spill, and as a fisherman and an environmentalist, it just stuck in his craw, the fact that we didn't have separation technology," said Houghtaling. "Kevin wrote all the checks for this project. This was one man's vision. Sometimes it takes a star to come in with their money and time to make a difference."

BP was cautiously optimistic about the machines, saying they could provide a valuable tool in the armoury of clean-up workers, provided they "meet regulations with regard to discharge". The firm could certainly use some good news: a warm ocean current is now transporting the slick from the ruined Deepwater Horizon rig towards the coast of Florida. Roughly six million gallons of oil have already washed into the Gulf, and is starting to hit the fragile coastal swamps of Louisiana, which are home to an array of rare birds and mammals.

In Washington, BP is being accused of underestimating the scale of the leak in an effort to protect its reputation. The firm originally said that 1,000 barrels of oil were spilling each day, but later increased that figure to 5,000. Many scientists believe the real figure is higher still.

Amid growing political pressure, BP has agreed to allow live underwater footage of oil billowing into the ocean to be screened online. Although one relief well was drilled last week, and is said to be capturing 200,000 gallons of oil a day, the firm now admits that it could take until August to plug the leak.

Costner isn't the only Hollywood star taking an interest in the disaster. The Avatar director James Cameron has offered to make his collection of submarines available to clean-up teams, while Robert Redford is starring in a TV ad sponsored by the Natural Resources Defence Council, which uses the spill to call for the US government to promote clean energy.

Kevin Costner to the Rescue!

UPDATE! THE 'MONSTER' FROM ONTARIO LAKE - AMERICAN MINK

forgetomori - Was it actually a mink? Through friend Biologist Maria Guimarães, we managed to hear the thoughts of doctor James L. Patton, Curator and Professor Emeritus, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California.

"[The] mystery critter looks more like a mink than an otter to me (longer fingers, without any evidence of webbing). It clearly was dead in the water for a prolonged period, hence the defurred face and head, and somewhat swollen appearance", wrote Patton.

"If anyone had bothered to look at the teeth, the identification would have been easy, but…", he remarked, emphasizing that this likely ID was made only through the photos published on the Internet, without the necessary evidence for a more definite conclusion.

So, it looks like an otter, and was probably a mink.

EBOLA VACCINE CLOSER AFTER SUCCESSFUL MONKEY TRIALS

How to Train a Human!

Posted: 23 May 2010 02:46 PM PDT

Chris Holly's Paranormal World - I have been listening to different Internet radio shows while I work on my computer.. I think I have heard every theory there is concerning who controls our world. I have heard theories about secret governments, black operation sections of governments, mad scientists hiding in secret labs and of course alien species -as those responsible for controlling the human race.

I am confused and bewildered about who is controlling us however I am resigned to the fact that some ultimate force other than who we are being told is actually controlling this planet.

Long ago I realized we seem to be giving over our brains and will to a united group of something.

I cannot figure out if it is our governments or an advanced human community or another species of intelligent life. Who is in control remains the extreme mystery.

It is obvious we are controlled in many ways including the media, Hollywood , the Internet, the need to belong and our gadgets. We dress, believe and obsess on what we are told to.

It is similar to training an animal. Consist repetition in form of commercials and movies along with all other forms of the media that flash what to wear, what to listen to, who to believe, what to laugh at, what to drive, eat even desire is all programmed in to our society.

We are similar to a dog who is brainwashed to do as we need by the reward of the treat in our pocket. For the human the reward is to fit in. Simple. Tell us we need to have a cell phone, or tight jeans or platform shoes, listen to certain music - whatever is needed to fit in with all the other sheep people and we will run and obediently do it.

The difference with dogs and humans is that dogs seem to maintain a more basic attachment to their natural individual desires and will run off and sniff at whatever they find interesting with little care of what the other dogs may think. Humans seem to have given up the basic act of being individual for the overpowering need to belong or be cookie cutter to fit in.. In short I think the dogs have remained far more true to being who they really are where as the humans seem to willingly sell out their individuality.

Since the start mankind has been living in groups, pack animals - to insure survival.

From the start there has always been the need for a organizing force to maintain a working society. Laws were the obvious way to keep us in line. Punishment for bad behaviors were developed. Law was also used to control people from moving in directions that were looked down upon by the ruling forces.

Religions work well in keeping society controlled. The rules of the religions of the world did and still do work to control behavior and conquer the masses.

Governments control us and use us to war against each other when one group disagrees with another group. We support the group we belong to and are controlled by and go about the destruction of others often and easily when our group is threatened.

Of course there are those who mind their business yet are forced to defend against those who are the aggressor which continues us on the long time constant road of control via war on this planet.

As society moved forward so did the training techniques. Religion , Law via governments worked well for a very long time. Brain washing by way of propaganda has always been a effective tool in training the masses to follow like sheep . Look at the world wars. Look at the way the few can spread hatred or doctrine among the many. It seems the human race is rooted in a sheep like mentality that makes them extremely easy to pull about by the nose!

We now have entered into a era where our control has leaped forward to a far more sinister trend which I fear may be the beginning of the end for our species.

It started with the breaking down of traditional and cultural lifestyles. The first crack in society started in the western sections of our planet where a new style of control has emerged.

Now instead of controlling society it seems we are in a era of destroying our civilizations.

This is being done with the breakdown of basic foundations that have clued humans together from the start of civilization.

It is obvious that for the last 30 or 40 years we have been busy with the destruction of the family unit. Families failed as people were convinced to enter into the era of self. A time when what you want has become far more important than the family or group. A time when the individual has been fooled in to thinking they are wasting time building a untied society and instead should seek out singular wants and desires instead. The price for this has been the death of the family unit.

Being all you can be is a needed goal as is maintaining a strong untied family base for society to spring board from.

Becoming a strong individual depends on a strong foundation which has been in our past the family unit. This still remains part of many races who are thriving on the planets way of life still today . The destruction of the family unit continues however to decline in the worlds races that are now at a zero population rate. This decline and zero rate will soon complete extinction in this area of the worlds population. I am sure similar patterns will soon emerge all over the world.

Following the era of self and the destruction of strong family units came a zero population rate for many western world races which of course has them on a downward journey to extinction.

With the start of our decline by way of separation of family leading to a zero population growth for many areas of the world population we see a tidal wave of continued growth and obsession with self which quickens allows us to march blindly to our own end.

We are slaves to the media. They tell you what to think, what to wear, what to listen to and watch as well as what to think. Enter the internet and you have extreme control mechanisms in place where you can control the masses from their homes with ease.

The new lawless land of the Internet is a land where anyone can brainwash who ever will listen with insane theories and complete fantasy. You can find long ranting speeches delivered all over the net by those with private agenda's that are swallowed hook line and sinker by a mass of gullible sheep people who will believe anything they are told.

If people find someone who fills their own fantasies or offers them a accepted group to become part of they join in believing whatever nonsense is being presented without ever researching the facts. I find this a dangerous way to make decisions on topics that may be life changing or extremely important in a person's life.

The Internet has made the use of technology the brainwashing tool of the century. This tool is being used on the people by the people for reasons other than the information tool it was intended to be. It is used for communication which is a good thing however it is also used for evil self serving purposes which makes it a extremely dangerous place. The Internet is also a land where you can never be sure who or what you are actually communicating with which in my thinking is the real danger.

These facts of Internet land make it extremely easy for whoever or whatever is guiding this planet to work among the havoc and confusion of the net to do as they need to in order to keep us doing whatever it is they want us to do.

Our allowing the confusion makes for a convoluted and muddied mess which makes the control of our species a piece of cake.

Humans are sheep like in behavior with a extreme need to fit in to a herd or group. They are pack animals who have rejected their packs instead searching to find a new place to belong or fit in. This allows for easy control by the few over the many via groups , forums and chat rooms spread all over the Internet. Offer people a herd (which sadly fill the need for the broken family unit) and you have the few controlling the many. All that seems to be needed is a common interest for those searching to find a group to attach to.

The sad part of this is that this is taking place in houses with families lost to technology sitting in different rooms, engaged with some sort of machine be it a TV or Computer , blackberry or cell phone searching for a connection instead of sitting together as families or friends sharing real communication.

You end up with people being brainwashed with crazy thinking believing all level of people instead of discussing with real people real issues in real time. This miss use of the Internet as a tool for humanity is our greatest failure. Instead of using the net to research things you do not understand in a intelligent manner many simply switch it on immediately enter whatever herd they have attached themselves to and believe whatever idiot they come across as long as they are a heard member.

Time after time I listen to chat room, groups or radio shows with large followings of brainless sheep people agree with the alpha dog of the group while he or she spreads ridiculous thinking with fake science that is straight out of a Hollywood movie. It does not seem to matter if the ideas being presented are fact or fiction as the sheep people agreeing blindly seem to believe every word without ever considering if truth is involved. It is a frightening fact of the Internet.

This behavior also is the base of why subjects like the paranormal are stuck in the dark ages. The real issues, sightings, experiences and serious investigators and research is lost in the enormous mix of those who are using this area for self serving agenda's creating fake events, photo's, video's and outrageous stories or theories for reasons that only they understand. This prevents forward movement in the paranormal as every step forward is blocked or broken by those using the area for fun fraud or fame.

It is sad as so many things paranormal are simply part of science or life we simply do not yet understand. Our approach to it will keep us ignorant and in the dark until this changes.

I recently listened to a radio show with a group of people which included two paranormal investigators, one physicist and two people who have had real time abduction experiences.

We listened in group as a raving mad man made up all kinds of nonsense about the aliens coming to kill us all along with other scenario's he was portraying as absolute truth. A large group of people sat and listened to this fantasy thrower who was obviously doing this for his private agenda of hopeful stardom.

We could not believe that the people listening did not question his silliness or take the time to simply research parts of his claims to see if they were real.

The people simply sat and agreed with this fool as if he were a god. We did research his claims and detailed reports of technology he claimed were going on in the world to find he was full of total hog droppings.

This willingness to believe anyone who says things you may want to be true is why those who really do control this planet have such a easy time doing so. Somewhere along the line we decided to stop thinking.

So here we sit in a society that is losing its basic foundation of family who also has given up the art of thinking for themselves. We follow who ever yells the loudest or is the most popular. Add the fact that we are addicted to the gadgets of technology and you have a deadly mix. Can you see how easy it has become for any secret group be it human or alien to use these things to both control and turn us into a bunch of trained pets?

We have given up thinking and our individuality becoming brain dead swallow any nonsense fools being pulled about by our noses. We do not think about the logic of what is being said or check the incredible statements being told to us, we simply swallow it.

We do this willingly providing a lovely smoke blanket for those who truly work behind the scenes to control us and herd us for reasons we do not understand. How those running this planet must laugh as we give over our souls without a thought or fight.

By the time the self agenda humans finish with us in the media, net or via Entertainment those who need to download control over us barely need lift a finger. We have done all the heavy lifting to our own extinction for them. They merely need to stampede us over the cliff. Destroying humanity looks to be quick and easy task.

One way to speed our road to our end days would be to make us more robotic enabling control by way of downloaded information even a quicker manipulation of human control and or takeover.

Enter in the era of technology . Computers, wireless communication, cell phones. blackberry's, I Pods, gadgets- hanging on us, attached to us.

We are constantly hooked to sitting in front of some type of communication device. Humans are addicted to them. How simple and easy to gain control when we are all hooked up to a system that could be downloading in to our pea brains with who knows what as we sit numbly tweeting, texting, chatting our brains and lives away.

I do not know why we have been trained or by who. I am sure however that we have been and currently are being controlled and manipulated by whoever and whatever runs this planet.

I am not sure who is running the human show. I do know it is not the people we think are running things. It may be a secret global government of humans who have a ultimate plan for this planet. It may be a group of top powerhouses calling the shots. It may be a different species of beings over seeing our development or a combination of all of those things.

If our decline is by our own hand and we are the ones driving our own species to extinction I do not think we will be able to stop it and our part in this universe will soon come to an end.

However if we are being manipulated we can do something to slow our decline and fight to retain our humanity.

We need to begin thinking again. We need to stop believing , following and acting like mindless sheep people and begin to find our minds and strength by breaking away from those who have us drooling followers instead of thinking growing humans.

We need to research things on our own and talk to many gathering multiple opinions and view points before forming our own. We have to shake our heads and reboot our brains.

It is imperative for humans to learn quickly to use technology as tools and not as a way of life. Giving over access to a wireless world without precaution is a dangerous game that may be our doom. Consider this the next time you spend your day with a Bluetooth attached to your head day and night.

Look at your life and be honest about your disconnect with real time connection and communication with your fellow humans. Do you talk with those you love or do you sit across from them in silence while texting, tweeting or lost in some type of screen?

You can decide to restart your brain and save your humanity by breaking away from the raging lunatics found across the Internet as well as our Media systems.

Learn to think for yourself and use this great tool of the Internet to research what many have to say about a subject as well as real facts on things told to you before swallowing the rants that invade our space day in and day out.

Return to your basic needs as a human and work hard at being a thinking being and not a weak robotic follower.

I realize this article may offend many who have become lazy and lost in this world of mind numbing control.

To those who feel that way I can only hope some of us can withstand the stampede so that all mankind is not driven to extinction by our weakness and soft soaked minds broken by the control of few for reasons that benefit only a handful.

The masses are the ones who will fail unless we stop this world from the road it is traveling. It is like watching a train racing a thousand miles per hour directly in to a mountain. The explosion will be complete and no survivors will be found.

If a advanced race of humans are trying to cleanse this earth I refuse to help them. If a alien species is at the root of our control I refuse to be a willing experiment or help in the extinction of my own kind.

Whatever is happening around us I am not willing to blindly jump of that cliff nor will I walk away from my own humanity.

I have written this article under the direction and help of two people I respect who have both survived lost time abduction experiences.

They feel strongly about the warnings I have written about and wanted me to express them as clearly as I could to whoever may read this article. Their hope is that some of you will consider some of what has been written here today.

In closing I would like to make it perfectly clear I have no idea who may be controlling this planet. It can be our own stupidity that has brought us to this point or a global force of elite humans . It could be an alien species or a group of alien species. It can also be a combination of some of or all of the above.

It is clear that you and I do not have the ability to do very much about the overall issue. We do however have a great deal to say about our taking part in the game.

Control would soon flip hands if we all decided to think and be our own person as well as breaking away from the technology control used on us all. Use the tools as tools not as your way of life.

What do you think? Still want that blue tooth stuck in your ear all day?
