BRIEF: Beware the quiet ones SUMMARY: An 875-pound boulder sits in front of the Historical Society in Leonardtown. Molly Dyer, the accused witch, was found with her hand frozen to this rock after she was driven from her home on one of the coldest nights of the year --the townsfolk had burned down her cabin. Molly froze to death that night, and she was found with her hand frozen onto the rock. When they removed her body, the impressions of her knees and hands were left at the scene, firmly etched in the rock. This happened more than three hundred years ago and you can still see her hand-print on the rock.
Molly's cabin was located in an area that is now known as Molly Dyer's Run. Her ghostly apparition has been seen floating over the land near where she had lived. The large boulder was moved in 1975 to the front of the Historical Society Jail Museum. People report feeling uncomfortable around the rock, sometimes complaining about aches and pains. Camera malfunctions are often reported around the rock.
The Jail Museum is located at Business Route 5 at 41625 Old Courthouse Drive in Leonardtown. FMI 301-475-2467 or see www.smchsonline.org. Members enjoy access to full details and far more info. |

Aug | Charles Fort Birthday Gathering
with Richard | We are planning an informal gathering of Washington area students of the Damned Data and their companions. The ongoing objective is to promote a sense of community among persons with interests in marginalized data and phenomena at the fringes of hard science and society. We welcome Charles Fort devotees, unconventional technologists, UFO buffs, inquirers into the paranormal, as well as students of conspiracies and the suppression of knowledge. It will be an opportunity to share interests with old acquaintances and to meet some new people with similar leanings towards the strange, the unusual, and the ignored.
Food and drink will be provided; if you feel a need to bring something, may we suggest it be a friend. Please, do pass along the invitation to any Charles Fort fans and other students of the anomalous that may not have been contacted directly.
We look forward to seeing you on Aug. 24. No reservation is necessary; however, a phone call or e-mail is always a welcome help for the planning. If you can't make it this year, consider sending along a note of greeting your friends who will be here.

Revelation
"We wish to pursue the Truth no matter where it leads. But, to find the Truth we need imagination and skepticism, both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact." --Carl Sagan
"Death is the great Teacher, stern, cold, inexorable, irresistible; whom the collected might of the world cannot stay or ward off. The breath, that parting from the lips of King or beggar, scarcely stirs the hushed air, cannot be bought, or brought back for a moment, with the wealth of Empires. What a lesson is this, teaching our frailty and feebleness, and an Infinite Power beyond us! It is a fearful lesson, that never becomes familiar. It walks through the earth in dread mystery, and lays it hands upon all. It is a universal lesson, that is read everywhere and by all men. Its message comes every year and every day. The past years are crowded with its sad and solemn mementoes; and death's finger traces its handwriting upon the walls of every human habitation." --Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma
MISSION STATEMENT 2008-08
This unique website provides a safe haven for people who want to believe. We tag it paranormal nirvana or coming into the light --of knowledge, experience, harmony, understanding. Those looking for a "haunted" fix, a cheap thrill, or quick proof or disproof of anything paranormal should undoubtedly seek elsewhere.
We're about gathering and sharing information, insight, facts, personal experiences, history, thoughts, theories, techniques, ideas, pictures, stories, and anything else that might be pertinent, interesting or useful. Anything along those lines, within reason, is welcome, encouraged and most appreciated. Anything less will not grow or fly here.
Paranormal is highly personal and can be emotionally charged. Our purpose is not to convince anyone of anything, nor to provide a forum for debunking, nor to promulgate baloney and hogwash. It's simply to share information. The fine line that we seek and appreciate is somewhere in the hazy grey between the known and unknown, and it moves! We are interested in the quirks and missing pieces, but also the facts, and how everything that doesn't fit might be made to, or else how reality must be adapted. This can be delicate and complex, and therefore the atmosphere here is positive, open and enouraging.
Largely subjective and not necessarily measurable, clues are often tiny and barely perceptible, even to sensitives; information is often easily overlooked or misplaced and history forgotten; and different people bring widely various skills to the ongoing 'shared investigation'. Since it's challenging to keep track, gain coherence, and make sense of everything, we help empower interested parties.
History is often made in a moment; hauntings seem to happen over time. While nothing compares to a personal paranormal experience, the weight of many similar accounts from different people combined with history and fact can be compelling on its own. This is not truth by consensus but in probability, weighed with history and tempered by facts. Scattered pieces often mean more when considered together. This synthesis is what we're about: focusing the synergies of many bright minds and good efforts toward furthering the understanding of our past, present and future --particularly the paranormal aspects.

"Surveys, such as the one conducted in 1996 by Gallup of a nationally representative sample of Americans, continue to show a high degree of belief, interest and involvement in a variety of paranormal and religious related phenomena among the general population. For example, 48 percent believed in the possibility of extra-sensory perception (ESP), 45 percent believe that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have already visited Earth, and 56 and 72 per cent believed in the reality of the devil and angels, respectively (Gallup, 1997). In fact, these numbers have actually gone up since the surveys first started (Gallup and Newport, 1991) and other surveys amongst university and college students have yielded similar results (e.g. Messer and Griggs, 1989). Perhaps due to the widespread existence of such beliefs, the investigation of personality correlates of paranormal and particularly religious belief has received considerable attention in recent years, but little attention was given to both simultaneously." --Chris Huntley, 2005 Ph.D. thesis, Correlation of Paranormal Beliefs, Religious Beliefs and Personality

Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that you were or might have been not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.
4 years, 3 months, 29 days, 18 hours, 2 minutes, 49 seconds until the Mayan end of Age. December 21 2012 (11:11am GMT). The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN = 584283). The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Stela 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next. The 2012 Winter Solstice will also occur on this day at 11:11 UTC. --wikipedia . See also "When you get old, the only things you remember are the things you dared to do and the things you didn't dare to do. All the daily stuff, the things you had to do, the things someone paid you to do, blur into the nothingness of 'unimportant to your soul', and when you look back on your life you only see the dreams you made happen and the dreams you were afraid to pursue." (P.J. Gaenir's grandfather) Dare! Chance favors the bold. |
