According to Christopher Bullock in The Cobbler of Preston (1716), "'Tis impossible to be sure of any thing but Death and Taxes." Many people believe that, but is it really true? Taxes may well be certain, but what about death? Tales of immortal beings abound in fiction and folklore, but can humans actually become physical immortal? Physical immortality simply means not dying, but few people would want to live for centuries in a sick, disabled body, so the definition should probably be expanded to "living for centuries in the same body in good health."

Black Magic, the Occult, and the CIA
Brent Swancer explores the involvement of the CIA with black magic and the occult. (Sort of reminiscent of the Nazis, isn't it?)
There is no doubt that governments get up to some strange dealings, research, and experiments, and top secret programs have always drawn to them tales of suspense, mystery, and conspiracies. One of the stranger stories concerns an offshoot of a mind control program run by the United States, which by some accounts branched off into the real of the supernatural and the occult Read more

Physical Illnesses: Spiritual Causes and Remedies
Physical illinesses sometimes have spiritual causes. When they do, they need spiritual remedies, not just physical ones, in order for healing to take place, according to the Spiritual Science Research Foundation.
Abstract: We know that symptoms of physical illnesses are caused by psychological factors as well as physical factors. But most of us are unaware that in a huge majority of cases,
In this article, we present the spiritual research into some physical illnesses caused by a spiritual factor, namely ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) and the corresponding spiritual healing remedies. Read more

30 Famous Mythical Humanoid Creatures
This list of thirty famous, mythical humanoid creatures includes both familiar and unfamiliar names. Did any of these cer actually exist?
1. Gog and Magog
Gog Magog appear in the Qur’an, Book of Genesis, the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation. They are variously presented as supernatural beings, demons or national groups that lurked upon the land. Gog and Magog occur widely in mythology and folklore and their existence is accepted by many religions including Islam, Christianity and Judaism. The widely accepted belief both in Christianity and Islam holds that “He of the Two Horns” (a great and righteous ruler) or Two Ages (one who impacts on two ages) travelled the world in three directions, until he found a tribe threatened by Gog and Magog, who were of an “evil and destructive nature” and “caused great corruption on earth.” The people offered tribute in exchange for protection, he agreed to help them, but refused the tribute; he constructed a great wall that the hostile nations were unable to penetrate. They will be trapped there until doomsday, and their escape will be a sign of the end: “The War of Gog and Magog” would precede the return of Jesus. Read more

Strange Encounters With Unicorns
Brent Swancer examines reports of strange encounters with unicorns.
Among the more bizarre of sightings reports of strange creatures and entities are those that seem to describe something from straight out of a fairy tale. It is something I have covered here on Mysterious Universe before, and such surreal cases never cease to baffle and amaze. Equally from fairy tales and just as seemingly out of sync with the real world, yet nevertheless often depicted as being real and with sightings, are those reports throughout history of real live unicorns. Far from being merely the product of myth and imagination, some strange accounts seem to suggest that there is more to these fantastical creatures than we may think. As bizarre as it may seem, here is a look at odd accounts both historical and more recent that point to unicorns as having perhaps existed in some form or other. Read more
