Rumors:

There is talk of a powerful witch living in the middle of the Okefenokee swamp

There are rumors that the fountain in the Orange Park Mall has taken on some unusual properties.

City officials are investigating a series of traffic helicopter accidents that have taken place in the downtown area.

On February 4, animal welfare specialist David Barkasy and cryptozoologist Loren Coleman shared with Bigfoot researchers and cryptozoologists an intriguing pair of new cryptid (unknown animal) photographs. The pictures appeared to be good graphic evidence for recent sightings of unknown anthropoids (Skunk Apes) in western Florida. The Sarasota County Sheriff's Department had received the photographs, innocently enough, from an unidentified elderly woman who took them near Myakka State Park around the end of 2000, although they had not been catalogued until 2001. The photographs clearly show a large, upright dark orangutan-like animal among the palmettos, showing eye-shine, and typical anthropoid behavior of fright due to the woman's flash camera. The woman and her husband had found the creature stealing fruit off of their back porch over a period of three nights. The woman decided to take pictures to get law enforcement assistance in dealing with their "problem." Other residents had told of being bothered by recent apelike creatures, and Florida, in general, has been the stalking grounds for some 60 years of the Skunk Apes, which even made the pages of Sports Illustrated in the 1970s. During the spring of 2001, newspapers throughout the South (Florida to Texas), various magazines, including the cover story in Fate, as well as radio talk shows and online chatter, debated the merits of the Myakka Photographs. The investigations are ongoing.

Winged Chupacabra Paces Frightened Family In Car At 120 kmh . Much the same as occurred last year to a teacher and her friend as they motored along the Calama-Chuquicamata route, last weekend an entire family had a face- to-face encounter with an abominable creature near Cuesta de Montecristo. A family traveling by car along Cuesta de Montecristo, heading toward the town of Calama, suffered a frightening face-to-face encounter with a creature of extraordinary characteristics, according to the story told by a Department of Justice functionary who heard the
frightened groups' story only minutes later. The mind-bending case, according to the source, occured around 2 a.m. last Sunday and left the couple and their two young children in a state of shock after running into an abominable creature that shared the same physical characteristics as the so-called Chupacabras: approximately 2 meters tall, strong legs like those of an ostrich, wings on its back and an animal-like head.
Horrified by the beast's presence, the driver sped his car, a white Nissan, until the speedometer needle went beyond the 120 kmh mark. In spite of this, the creature remained right there, pacing the vehicle throughout for a space of several meters
While fear chilled the bones of the vehicle's occupants, the beast made a sudden and incredible move that almost gave the witnesses heart attacks: Making use of its extraordinary abilities, it ran past the car and then crossed in front of it like a fireball, losing itself in the darkness. "This thing wasn't running--rather, it seemed to fly beside the vehicle," stated the shaken witnesses to the phenomenon to the very first person they met after the incident--a functionary for the Department of Justice in El Loa Province, who requested anonymity from this newspaper. This man, worthy of the highest credibility, stated that he was impressed by the family members' reaction as they screamed and wept desperately as they related the incredible story. "I offered them some assistance, medical help or who knows, anything else they might have needed, but they refused. They were so frightened and shocked that they only wanted to go home." Similarities: A very similar case occurred last year along the Calama-Chuqicamata route, where a schoolteacher and her friend ran into an unknown beast after attending a Lions' Club meeting. Truck Driver: Nor is this the only case of an irregular sighting recorded in Calama recently, since highly reliable sources have advised that a week or two ago, a truck driver had a similar encounter on one of the province's roads.

http://www.1090wjkm.com/ (Please go to WJKM's website to view all pictures) At about 10:45 AM Friday, radio station WJKM and CMR (Country Music Radio), with studios in Hartsville, Tennessee was knocked off the air by a very powerful strange energy blast! There was a crystal clear blue sky, no clouds or rain. It was not lightning!
1.All the radio station's lines were knocked out. 2. Several power transformers were blown several blocks away from the studios (smoke seen billowing out of one) 3. All phone lines at the newspaper (The Hartsville Vidette), the local farm co-op and all other phones in this small radius were knocked out! 4. Radio station transmitter lost all
MOSFETS and the output - tuning network. 5. All computers at WJKM lost motherboards, network cards etc. 6. ISDN was knocked out. 7. Most all the equipment Zephyr codec and EAS all knocked out. THERE WAS NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY! This was not lightning! In the back of the radio station were DEAD FRIED BIRDS! Their wings, tails and feet severely burned. Station secretary Jennifer and sales manager Steve found a small bird still alive hopping around with its wings and tail
feathers burned off. Many of the birds were still alive but badly burned. These are smaller birds. The wingspan is not large enough for them to get fried from getting across a powerline to ground. This was not just one bird. Steve (sales manager) told me he heard a loud electrical overload sound then the power went out. He told me
he has never heard anything like this ever in his life. There was no blown transformer near the radio station. The closest burned transformer was at least three city blocks from the building. The editor of the Vidette said she was sitting with her back to the window. She heard a loud roaring sound like an overload and something came through the window and a flash of light went through the entire building. The Vidette is next door to the radio station. The Power Company, Tri County Electric and Bell South seem to be at a loss to explain the situation. This is not the first time WJKM has had strange power surge problems. It has been difficult to keep computers up and running at the Hartsville studios and transmitter site. We have called the local power company and complained to no avail. They seem to be as puzzled by the problem as we are. They have placed monitoring equipment on the lines and have seen nothing unusual. Yet in this outage the editor of the Vidette told me she keeps all the computers in the building unplugged. The newspaper publishes once a week so they only plug the computers into power once a week. Friday the Editors calculator was plugged into the wall outlet and it was destroyed by the surge. These surges are not just coming into the power lines. They are also entering the radio station through phone lines and the antenna system. This is evident in blown telephone equipment. Sometimes the equipment
is not destroyed but the program settings are scrambled or wiped out. We have surge protectors plugged into surge protectors. We keep MOV's by the boxfulls. We have been at a loss to make a determination as to the cause of these surges. The only clue as to what the cause may be has been suggested by our listeners. Many of the callers to the radio station seem to think that there is some sort of activity at the old Hartsville nuclear power plant site. My first trip to the site left me a bit cold as the place looks like an abandoned ghost town. With heaps of things lying around, it looks like a good set for a futuristic movie. The nuclear power plant is a site that cost the general public millions of dollars that was supposedly never finished. The construction of the plant came to an abrupt halt some years back leaving the community devastated. TVA (Federal Government) will tell you it is being used as a storage area only. Yet I have calls at the radio station from listeners who claim to hear strange humming sounds coming from the location. Listeners have seen strange objects overhead. Listeners have claimed to see triangular shaped craft overhead. Silent black helicopters at all hours of the night. Huge military C-130's heading in as if to land or leaving the area nose up as if they have just taken off. There are no visible places for a C-130 to land or take off. We have searched the area as well as we could. Listeners from the area have called talking about a strange humming sound. Comments like "you can feel it" "It makes the hair stand up on your neck" are common. We also hear that you can't locate the source of the humming it seems to be coming from everywhere. This has been mentioned only by people who live near the nuclear power plant site. . A rural elderly listener called my morning show extremely upset. He told us he had lost several beagle puppies in the area. A friend of his told him that he thought that he had seen the pups in the area near the cooling tower. He reported to us in a phone call that he had driven his truck to the area. He thought he was hearing the beagles out in the wooded area so he climbed over the fence and started calling to them. He told us he was greeted with an overhead helicopter and a ground force of about 30 people. They allegedly escorted him off the property in a very rough and crude manner. He said they were some kind of police, some in plain clothes. He told us they were rude and threatening. A listener who is a tech that lives on a hill near the area has had fluorescent bulbs light in his hand on various spots on his property. He discovered this by accident but has witnesses to the phenomenon. He works with surveillance cameras, thermal imaging and a lot of high tech stuff. He tells us there is operational radar being used at the nuclear site at different times. A Hartsville resident who's ex-husband worked at the site tells us that there is a reactor there. We have had several reports of this from different folks in the community. She tell us that her husband was told "don't eat the fish from the river or eat any deer shot in the area" Our local heating and air conditioning contractor tells about how he sees large shiny new 18 wheel tankers go and come from the nuclear site at 3 in the morning. A gentleman who is a relative to an owner of a local grocery establishment claims to have seen a Bigfoot near the nuclear plant. It is also interesting that according listeners have called in, there has apparently been an increase in what they are calling fibromyalgia. This is a decease name appointed to the unexplainable severe and disabling pain throughout the entire body over recent years, as well as, an increase in headaches mimicking migraines that are not actual migraines. At night the entire area has a strange chemical smell to it somewhat pungent like ozone and chemicals. The radio station transmitter and Hartsville studio is located in the middle of Hartsville City Park about 5 miles from the nuclear cooling tower. We are in no way accusing the TVA or the nuclear power plant of causing this problem. We are just reporting what listeners and residents of the community have reported to us. One thing that we do find strange is this, in the beginning we would go on the air and joke about the nuclear power plant. We did this because of the TVA's vague promise to turn a good portion of the land back to the community for development. This was always talked about but nothing ever happened. We placed several calls to TVA. No one ever responded. When we would get on the air and start airing some of these reports it was always promptly followed by a press release or a public meeting about the donation of the land back to the county. We were told not to talk about it, that the TVA would get upset. Whenever we would stop talking about it, then it seemed that you would hear nothing about the land development. We have been off the subject for a good time now. Their latest announcement is to develop the land in partnership with the local Power Company for an industrial power park. They say this wont happen now for 4 years. They now claim they must do a 4 year environmental study. What do they need to study? Was there not a study done in order to build a nuclear facility? What else needs to be studied for a commercial business site? For you the listener, thank you for putting up with our outage. We are making repairs as fast as we can. As for the cause, we have no idea what this is all about. We are concerned about the charred and fried birds however. These birds were found on our property in areas where there are no powerlines! The Power Company said the birds got into a power transformer. What transformer? Our 10 KVA pole peg behind the radio station? How would all these birds
do that? After being in or near the transformer, how did they all get to different locations around the 5 acres of land where there are no power lines? If the birds were sitting on an electrical wire and were hit by a surge their legs would have been burned off! These birds have legs. Its their wings and feathers that are burned, singed or
missing! It appears to us these birds were cooked in flight! But by what?

Springheel Jack Invades America!

SH Jack paid a visit to the US as early as July 1880. In Louisville, Kentucky someone was accosting and killing women. The attacker described as tall, with pointed ears, a long nose, and long fingers. He is said to have sported o his chest a bright light that spouted a blue flame at his victims. He made his escapes in “typical” jack fashion by jumping effortlessly over obstacles like wagons and haystacks in a single bound.

He took a shine to the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts, where he appeared dozens of times between 1938 and 1945.

In New England he was described as tall with fierce eyes and long pointed ears. Several witnesses claim he spat blue flames in their faces. Their visitor had the habit of jumping out from trees killing and scaring people, and he once bounded down a street in Provincetown forcing pedestrians off the pavement.

One witness recalled “He was very agile some people thought he had springs on his feet.” Once when thirty police officers thought they cornered him in a schoolyard surrounded by a 10 foot fence, Jack amazed them by leaping the fence cleanly and escaping.

He also displayed Superman like disdain for bullets. When a dog forced Jack against another fence, the dog’s owner blasted Jack with a shotgun. “The darned thing just laughed and jumped my eight foot fence in one leap.” The man later told the police.

Jack was still upto his tricks when a family in Sydney, North Carolina, in 1973, reported an encounter with a long haired man with glowing red eyes, pointed ears, and a hooked nose whom they estimated, made leaps of 50 or 60 feet.

In 1979, at least a dozen residents of the Dallas suburb of Plano, observed a creature that leaped over a high school football field in a few strides. Its motion reminded them of American astronauts taking long steps on the moon. The creature, again described as 10 feet tall and thin, with long pointed ears.

Apparitions and You

An apparition is defined as the supernatural manifestation of the soul of a decease person or animal, typically referred to as a ghost. Apparitions are visual experiences. Throughout history human beings have seen ghosts. Despite research efforts there is still very little known about apparitions. They are the most compelling part of the supernatural field. The one thing that is known about apparitions is that no two are exactly alike. They are as complex and diverse as each living person. Every apparition will have it's own cause, origin and meaning. It's up to the ghost hunter to analyze the facts of each case and develop solid conclusions. To help the ghost hunter acquire a better feel for the kind of apparition they are dealing with, apparition categories have been created. You will find that most apparitions will fit into at least one of these categories or share characteristics with a couple different categories.

These are the manifestations of non-living vehicles such as cars, trucks, busses, bicycles, carriages, trains, airplanes, and ships. There are almost always associated in some way with a violently tragic demise where hundreds of people may have died as a direct result. The emotional imprints left behind in these kinds of horrible events are so strong that even pieces of the wreckage can become haunted or cursed. These vehicles are seen traveling back over their last routes in the reenactments of their final seconds. They can be dangerous apparitions because of the fact that most people who see them are themselves traveling in a vehicle. Witnesses sometime panic and sometimes wreck as a result.
