PARANORMAL - PARANORMAL ACTIVITY
REAL OR NOT... ALIENS OR GHOSTS...
ARIZONA - Phoenix
A bizarre UFO that seems to materialize out of hyperspace has been reported over
the central Arizona skies near Phoenix since October 2001. Sightings have been
averaging two per month. The brightly-lit object has been described as up to
twenty times larger than the apparent size of a typical star. It streaks through
a curved path in the sky equal to three times the diameter of a full moon. The
object does not behave like a meteorite and seems to start and stop very
abruptly. It appears from nowhere and maintains uniform brightness with no
trail. No photos have been taken since the object appears for only a few seconds
then disappears only to reappear somewhere else. Most sightings have been
between 10:00 PM and 12:00 PM PST. One of the first sightings (by a security
guard) is documented at the National UFO Reporting Center website.
CALIFORNIA - Sacramento
Recent investigations of the Sacramento Theatre Company at 1419 H Street in
downtown Sacramento have documented strong paranormal activity. Several
anomalous light patterns recorded on infrared film at the same time two psychics
were holding a meditative seance to conjure up spirits. At 3:00 AM in secure
section of the auditorium, disembodied footsteps were recorded on audio tape.
The 50-year-old vaudeville stage is home to a ghost that employees have named
Pinky — because of the pinkish aura it manifests. The apparition has been seen
on numerous occasions and is even credited with warning electricians of the
impending collapse of an overhead lightbar. Several people could have been
seriously injured had they not evacuated the area because of Pinky's ghost. In
the last four years, psychics have detected the presence of five other spirits
in the building.
An investigation of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento in October 2002 yielded
significant evidence of a haunting. Read the full investigative report with

COLORADO - Colorado Springs
The Black Forest area directly east of the Air Force Academy has seen in
increase in its strangeness index in the last few months. The haunted section is
in El Paso County, 15 miles northeast of Colorado Springs. Take I-25 north to
Route 83 north for 7 miles to the Black Forest exit. The haunting began within
weeks of buying their new home in 1992. It was like the gates of hell opened up
in the Lee family home. "One day we came home," said Beth Lee, "and it was like
the Fourth of July in our living room and in our bedroom. We had all kinds of
lights flashing through, and it sounded like people stomping across the roof. We
would lay in bed at night and hear chains rattling. One night we woke up and
heard orchestra music. Strange things started happening every day." The two boys
complained of weird lights and shadows in their rooms, lights and appliances
started going on and off by themselves, and untraceable chemical odors burned
family members’ eyes and throats. Over the next four years, they would have
sixty-two unexplainable "break-ins." The El Paso County Sheriff’s Department
opened an investigation in April 1993 and conducted forty-five follow-ups but
could never find any evidence of a "crime." After the sheriff stopped
responding, the Lees hired private investigators to try to figure out what was
going on. About that time, Steve noticed that photographs and videotape taken in
certain locations on the property had strange light streaks running through
them, and sometimes, translucent faces even appeared on the film. Determined to
document the activity, Steve borrowed or purchased every type of camera he could
think to see if the bizarre images appeared, but no matter what type of camera
or film he used, he captured evidence of unexplainable light phenomena that
included brilliant beams, floating balls of light, and glowing outlines of
humans and animals. Sometimes the mysterious lights could be seen with the naked
eye, though most often, they lasted just a split second and showed up only on
film. Steve and Beth finally agreed that something paranormal might be going on
in their home, and in early 1995, they sent some of the pictures and videotape
to the "Sightings" television show. Hollywood special effects technician Edson
Williams examined the Lee films and told the producers of the show that most of
the light images would be extremely difficult to reproduce and some seemed to
defy the laws of optics entirely. "Sightings" immediately dispatched a film crew
to the Black Forest, and once on site, were able to document some of the weird
phenomena the Lees had witnessed. In three visits to the property "Sightings"
brought along Minneapolis ghost buster Echo Bodine and Los Angeles psychic Peter
James, who both identified powerful presences in the house. A Hopi shaman
consulted on the Black Forest haunting said that the area is a "Rainbow Vortex,"
one of only a few psychic energy spots on the planet that connect our world with
the next. Red, yellow, and white lightforms are seen and recorded, as well as
apparitions of an old lady, a little girl, a burly man dressed in 1800s
clothing, and a "flying dog," not to mention the hundreds of forlorn faces seen
floating in the Lee’s bedroom mirrors. Infrared photos of these apparitions
featured in the article "The Black Forest Haunting" in the March 1998 issue of
FATE magazine. (Copies can be ordered by calling Llewellyn Publications at
800-THE-MOON.) Investigator Dennis William Hauck recorded more unexplainable
phenomena when he visited the site in October 1996. State Senator Charles Duke
also personally investigated and confirmed the existence of paranormal activity.
Photographs he took show light beams and cloudy humanoid shapes, typical of
those taken by Lee (shown above). An FBI agent suggests that the cause of the
activity is poltergeists and not alien beings. Psychic Peter James has suggested
"alien ghosts" as a possible cause. Some Hopi Indians believe the site is
located over a "Rainbow Vortex" of psychic energy. Steve Lee so far has invested
over $70,000 in security equipment to try to capture the "presence" responsible
for the flashes of light, moving shadows, foul odors, poltergeist activity, and
loud noises that plague his family. Recently he installed ultrasonic camera
triggering devices as well as digital cameras to document the activity. So far,
there are over 3,000 photographs and 400 videotapes supporting the validity of
this case. There are only two other locations (Arizona and England) where
photographic phenomena similar to those from the Black Forest are currently
being recorded. For a recent article and photo on this case, go to FATE
Magazine.
COLORADO - Delta
Seven enormous, octagon-shaped UFOs have been reported in the clear night skies
above this rural community. The hovering, silent objects have multi-colored,
non-blinking lights on them, though on one of the UFOs, the lights were all
amber-colored. Their altitude has been estimated at 1,000 feet. So far the
gigantic craft have been reported hovering over private farm acreage, the golf
course, a school, a county road, and over the deserted hills of Cedar Ridge.
There appears to be some government interest or involvement in the sightings,
since four drab (olive-colored) helicopters have been seen flying over the town
of Delta flying eastward toward the town of Crawford. Such aircraft are not
normally seen in the area. The case is being investigated by Davina Ryszka of
Skywatch International, who has taken out an ad in the Delta County Chronicle
asking for witnesses to come forward.
CONNECTICUT - Meriden
A triangular shaped has been reported recently between Meriden and Middletown,
Connecticut. A 39-year-old man was driving east on Route 147 at 9 PM when he
spotted the unusual object hovering over the Mount Higby Reservoir. The Mount
Higby reservoir is approximately four miles west of Middletown, a small city
about 17 miles (27 kilometers) south of Hartford, the state capital. The witness
saw the silent object hovering over the water and observed its reflection in the
water. There were three lights in triangular formation, which were very bright.
The witness said the lights on the object were slightly bluish-white, closer to
florescent light than halogen. Similar shaped UFOs are currently being reported
in Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina. The dozens of North Carolina sightings
are centered around Pilot Mountain outside Winston-Salem. The North Carolina
cases are being investigated by Barbara Thompson of MUFON. The Connecticut
report was investigated by MUFON members Mark Cashman and Bruce Tilden, who said
the UFO "was about 50 feet above the reservoir." According to their report, the
object was approximately 100 feet (30 meters) across; it was estimated that the
pine trees around the reservoir are between 30 and 40 feet high.
ILLINOIS - Decatur
Investigator Cheri Mohr Drake of the American Ghost Society undertook an
investigation of the Harrold House in Decatur, Illinois, while attending the
recent Ghost Conference there. The house is located at 746 West Wood Street in
Decatur. It belongs to Amy and Tim Patrick, who live there with their two small
children. There are three known ghosts: a small boy, a woman who stands on the
front porch, and a middle-aged man. The man is most likely Frank Harrold, who
was involved in a scandal centering around a missing $25,000 from the local bank
he worked for. After the money was discovered missing, Frank was found shot to
death the next day at his farm in nearby Clinton, Illinois. The year was 1925.
The case was ruled a suicide, but many suspected it was a murder. Amy Patrick
thinks it is Frank's ghost trying to tell her he was murdered and had nothing to
do with stealing the money. The investigation of the premises yielded several
unexplainable photographs.
