Who Were the Giants of Ancient America?

The fact that giants existed in pre-Columbian  America is actually surprisingly well-documented by accounts of the discovery of giant skeletons and the oral histories of American Indian tribes. Here is a survey of some the the best evidence.

Few Americans alive today are aware that once real giants roamed the land – giant red-haired humans. Most Americans believe that the Native Americans were the first to inhabit the North American continent. Yet there were others – a much more ancient race that walked the hills and valleys, the plains and deserts of the pre-Colombian Americas.

Evidence of giant humans – people seven to twelve feet tall – exists in the fossil records, tools and other artifacts recovered from archaeological digs. Giant skeletal remains have awed and sometimes frightened researchers and explorers as far back as the Sixteenth Century. Read more

Can Pets Come Back as Ghosts?

Bestselling author and paranormal investigator Joni Mayhan explores whether pets can come back as ghosts.

After one of Sandy’s cats passed away, she spent the next few months mourning the loss. She’s always had cats as pets, but Gremlin was special. She had a strong bond with the black and brown tabby that went beyond normal human pet companionship. He often sat on her shoulder and kneaded his paws into her shoulder muscles, giving her a massage.

His memory didn’t fade over the next few years though. She still found herself thinking about him frequently, missing him much as she would have missed a human family member who had died. She was both surprised and stunned when he came back to visit five years after his passing in ghost form. Read more

A Simple Evocation Ritual

Evocation is the act of summoning a spirit. The spirit may be an angel, demon, god or goddess, or some other entity. Usually, the purpose of an evocation is to ask the spirit to perform a task. The evocation rituals in the famous magical grimoires, such as The Goetia, are not only complex, but also require hard-to-obtain magical tools and clothing. While that is certainly one way to summon a spirit, it is not the only way. You do not have to evoke a spirit to physical appearance in order for it to carry out a task for you.  A simple evocation ritual can be used to attract a spirit to fulfill a request.

Exploring Americ'as Monsters: Florida

The skunk ape is not the only mysterious creature living in Florida. Jason Offutt describes other monster sighted in the Sunshine State.

Zombies, cannibals, and freaks. Florida is known for terrifying creatures that stalk the streets and swamps of this Southern state, and that’s just the locals, such as Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey of Tampa. Sharkey has run for the highest political office in the United States three times since 2004 to become the first vampire president, according to CBS News. He claims he’s a direct descendent of Vlad the Impaler. He’s also been accused of brainwashing teenage girls, and intimidating a judge. Just another happy, carefree story from the Sunshine State.

Even without the people, Florida is a scary place filled with alligators, hybrid man-eating pythons, escaped kangaroos, and herpes-infected monkeys Read more

Identifying and Dealing with Negative Entities

Although most spirits are not negative, some certainly are. John Moore reveals how to identify and deal with negative entities from astral parasites to demons.

Lately it seems everyone I speak to about a new case believes they have some negative entity or demon haunting them. Most forget that about 80% of paranormal claims have a perfectly logical and natural cause. Of the remaining 20% of claims that are paranormal less than 1% are truly in human or demonic in nature. This article is for after those cases that truly are paranormal in nature and have no natural explanation. The most common cause I have run across for this idea that there is a demon in the house is simply a misinterpretation of a spirits attempts to communicate. There are some key factors to look for during a paranormal investigation that indicate a negative or demonic entity which we will discuss later. It must also be noted that this article is simply to clarify some misconceptions and offer some help to those afflicted by these entities. However, after reading this no one should consider themselves ready to do battle with a demonic or inhuman entity under any circumstances. It takes years of training and experience to deal with these entities and one mistake can have severe consequences for all those involved. The best thing to do if you suspect something inhuman or demonic is present is to contact a team experienced in extreme paranormal activity or spiritual warfare for help. Read more

Mind Really Does Affect Matter: Decades of Research Prove It

Mind really does affect matter, and decades of research prove it.

The Orch-Or model of consciousness isn’t a well-known theory, even in paranormal circles that would benefit from it during debates with skeptics. Yet, as an outlook on the nature of consciousness,Orch-OR may hold more potential for uniting the fields of scientific and paranormal research than any other body of work in existence.

Let’s start by acknowledging that there exists research out there contravening a number of science’s most dearly held truths. The inability of scientists to unite the fields of general relativity and quantum mechanics–as well as the growing mystery as to the nature of dark matter and dark energy–is more than enough reason to take a closer look at some of the unbreakable pillars of science: specifically, the idea that the human mind cannot affect matter without a physical medium—or telekinesis. Ask 99 out of 100 scientists out there whether or not there is evidence that mind affects matter, and 99 times you will be told, “No”.

This is partially the result of esoteric academic circles that only push forward certain kinds of research. To a large extent, parapscyhology and mind anomalies research is not considered a legitimate field; it is considered pseudoscience, right up there with chakras, holistic medicine, and karma. So even if these scientists know—and a great many probably do—about the Orch-Or model of consciousness, and the decades long work of The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, they simply don’t care to think of it as revolutionary.
