So Supernatural

In practically every religion around the world there are references to alien visitors or spaceships.

In Hindu mythology, the gods travel around in flying vehicles which von Daniken suggests are actually spaceships.

The book of Ezekiel even describes what definitely sounds like a UFO in this passage. I saw a windstorm coming out of the north, an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human but each of them had four faces and four wings.

Everywhere you look it's the same iconography, the same stories of divine beings that live in the sky.

When he releases his book in 1968 it's widely criticized by historians and experts but the public goes wild. Chariots of the Gods sells 7 million copies and kickstarts the entire ancient aliens industry which to this day is thriving.

Jennifer gave June a menacing glower. There was a scream, then a series of unintelligible shouts as Jennifer lunged forward and dug her long nails into June's cheek, just below the eye, drawing blood.

In 2009, he publishes this book full of his theories. It's called The Dancing Plague, The Strange True Story of an Extraordinary Illness.

Waller doesn't think it was a demonic curse or an act of God or a feminist protest. Instead, he thinks the people of Strasbourg may have shared a case of mass hysteria.

I found The Dancing Plague, the strange true story of an extraordinary illness by John Waller especially helpful to my research.

After Ken Webster says his final goodbye to Thomas, he goes back to his normal life. He writes the events down in a book called The Vertical Plane, which he publishes three years later in 1989.

The book sells modestly mostly to friends, family, and paranormal fanatics. Some people who pick it up think it's a work of fiction, but it and Ken's story get a boost in 1996 when it's featured on a BBC TV show called Out of This World. That bump in popularity also attracts a lot of skeptics. Over the past few decades, the debate has raged on, fueled again by Ken's new edition of the book, which he published in 2022.

At least, that's what Brian Masters, the author of The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer believes.

I love this theory. But I have a lovehate relationship with Tesla because my father forced me at the age of eight or nine to read Tesla's autobiography and the autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda.

In 1882, just 12 years after Troy is discovered, a guy named Ignatius Donnelly enters the chat.

After reviewing this wealth of information, he publishes his book called Atlantis, The Antediluvian World.

It says that Atlantis was a real physical place, and back in the day, it was massive.

As soon as Ignatius publishes his book, it instantly becomes a bestseller.

After historian John Geiger learns everything he can about The Third Man Factor, he publishes a book called The Third Man Factor, Surviving the Impossible. It comes out in 2009 and includes stories from all sorts of people who have spotted another faceless presence during stressful times, even during the most traumatic and deadly moments in recent history.

The book includes this account from a bank employee named Ron DeFrancesco. In September of 2001, he's working in the South Tower of New York City's World Trade Center...

But before we talk about the movie, let's talk about the book, Robert Block. So it turns out Block was writing the novel Psycho in 1958, 35 miles away from where Gein lived. And this is when all of these crimes are happening. But Block has no idea the full extent of Gein's history and the murders until after the book was already published.

He was writing this book just miles from where Ed Gein was committing these atrocious acts, but had no clue.

So then this book was then adapted into a film by Alfred Hitchcock, King of Horror, in 1960.

I found The Lost City of Zed, A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Gran, especially helpful to my research.

The young lion will overcome the older one. On the field of combat in a single battle, he will pierce his eyes through a golden cage. Two wounds made one, then he dies a cruel death.

From the enslaved populace, songs, chants and demands, while princes and lords are held captive in prisons. These will, in the future, by headless idiots, be received as divine prayers.

From the depths of the West of Europe, a young child will be born of poor people. He who by his tongue will seduce a great troop. His fame will increase towards the realm of the East.

Beasts ferocious with hunger will cross the rivers. The greater part of the battlefield will be against Hister. Into a cage of iron will the Great One be drawn, when the child of Germany observes nothing.

Near the gates and within two cities there will be scourges the like of which was never seen. Famine within plague, people put out by steel, crying to the great immortal God for relief.

In 1965, a Boston journalist somehow got their hands on Dr. Simon's hypnosis transcripts and published a series of articles.

But while he was alive, he never wavered from his belief that everything Dr. Simon uncovered in their six months together happened.

They weren't hallucinations, it was all real. And he takes that belief to his grave.

He died from a stroke in 1969, only three years after John Fuller published his book.
