George Adamski and the Venusians

20/12/2012

Comments

 
Picture
In 1952, contactee George Adamski took this photograph of a 'Venusian' Scout Craft. The close up shows more detail of a UFO than ever before seen. Adamski, who claimed to have been in direct contact with an alien being, took the photo through a telescope after one such contact.

Does the photo show a vehicle from another world?
Was George Adamski in contact with beings not of this planet?

The Haunting of Toys'R'Us Sunnyvale

17/12/2012

Comments

 
Picture
Since the Sunnyvale Toys'R'Us store opened in the early 1970's, staff and customers have experienced a wide range of strange goings on! The photograph you see here was taken during a séance held at the store, for a television show that was looking into the haunting.

Taken with an infrared sensitive camera, the photo shows the seated group, together with a figure standing at the back, watching. No one present remembers seeing anyone standing during the séance, and other cameras shooting the same view all failed to capture this figure.

The Omen: Our Final Warning

16/12/2012

Picture
"It is the greatest mystery of all because no human being will ever solve it. It is the highest suspense because no man can bear it. It is the greatest fear because it is the ancient fear of the unknown. It is a warning foretold for thousands of years. It is our final warning. It is The Omen."

So reads the tagline for The Omen, a film about the Antichrist, a film, some said, should never have been made. Was it cursed?

Picture
The Bushranger Hotel was built in 1860 as Kimberley's Commercial Hotel. It was one of the five original inns built in Collector, to serve the many people travelling to and from the Kiandra Goldfields.

Although the Goldfield days were quite rough and tumble, it was not until January 26, 1865, when bushranger Ben Hall and his gang entered Collector, that it would be put on the map. It was Constable Nelson and teenaged bushranger John Dunn who would make history that day.

Scaphism / The Boats

Picture
Scaphism was a method of execution that was designed to inflict a lingering, painful and humiliating death, to those who were unfortunate enough to experience it.

The victim would be trapped between two boats, or other hollow objects, and their exposed head, arms and legs covered in honey. They would then be force fed nothing but milk and honey, before being left in the sun, or in a stagnant pool. Flies, other insects and rodents would be attracted to the victim, and would slowly eat them from both within and without.

Mellified Man

Picture
Mellified Man is a sweet, human medicine, said to cure any illness.  An elderly man would diet on, and bathe in, nothing but honey, until he became 'mellifluous'.

His body would be interred in a stone coffin, also filled with honey, and sealed for a hundred years.  After the allotted time, the result was a mummified human corpse, preserved in a sweet substance - a much sought after medicine, capable of curing a wide range of ailments.
