The Mysterious Carnac Stones of France

Another fascinating place of wonder is the Carnac Stones located in Carnac, France and Brittany, France.

The Carnac stones are a dense collection of many sites of megalithic stones with more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones. It is the largest collection of megalithic stone structures in the world. Carnac is one of only three sites that can been seen from space. So it was definitely meant to be seen from the sky. 

They date to around 3,300 BC which makes them 4,500 years old. Back in the times of the stone age. (photo right secreteatingsociety.com)

There are three major types of stone rows – Menec, Kermario, and Kerlescan.

The Menec alignments are 11 converging rows that stretch over 330 feet long and 3,800 feet wide. The largest stones are 13 feet high.

The Kermario alignments are said to be in a fan-like layout and consist of 1,029 stones in 10 columns that stretch 4,300 feet long.

The Kerlescan alignments are a smaller group of 555 stones with 13 lines or rows and stretch 2,600 feet long.

There are also something called Dolmens that are structures probably meant to be tombs or burial chambers.

No one quite knows why this forest of standing stones were created and what the purpose of them were. That is still quite a mystery. The stones were actually cut and placed in the spots they stand. You can feel energy all around the site. The entire collection of sites is highly charged with energy as many other megalithic stone sites are like Giza Pyramids,Nazca Lines of Peru, Machu Picchu, and Stonehenge. Is this a clue to their purpose?

What has been found is that the rows of stones are aligned with the solstices and also something quite astonishing. They have found the site is in a shape of the Pythagorum theorem!  The Pythagorum theorem wasn’t discovered by the great mathematician Pythagoras until 2,000 years later. How did these ancient stone age people know about this theorem?

Is this site evidence that ancient aliens came to our planet and gave our ancient ancestors knowledge and wisdom? 

Could the shapes of the stones, the placement of the stones and the energy being given off have been a way for the ancient people who built Carnac to manipulate gravity? That is a great theory. And one that I believe is possible.

One reason I truly believe this theory is after studying Coral Castle and other megalithic stone structures. So many of these sites have energy vortexes and seem to have been deemed sacred places – it makes you wonder. Coral Castle was built by one lone barely 5 foot man all by himself – which he claimed to have found the secret of the pyramid builders. He moved 10-20 ton stones all by himself with some new found wisdom. What secret did he learn of? And was the same wisdom and knowledge of energy grids and placement of stones used to build Carnac? Could high energy frequencies be the key to learning about anti-gravity and its properties?

I am blown away by the ancient sites we find and unearth all around the globe. We truly don’t give enough credit to our ancient ancestors. They had far more knowledge than we ever imagined. But the question is how and where did they get this knowledge? Did aliens visit our planet and give them this knowledge? And if they did, why did we FORGET this knowledge and have to rediscover it so many years later? That is the million dollar question. I hope we find the answer one day.

Scientists ’95% Sure’ Bigfoot Lives in Russian Tundra

The Legend of Bigfoot roadside attraction outside Richardson Grove State Park in California

Scientists and yeti enthusiasts believe there may finally be solid evidence that the apelike creature roams the vast Siberian tundra, reports the Guardian.

A team of a dozen-plus experts from as far afield as Canada and Sweden have proclaimed themselves 95% certain of the mythical animal’s existence after a daylong conference in the town of Tashtagol in the Kemerovo region, some 2,000 miles east of Moscow. In recent years, locals there have reported sightings of the yeti, also known as the abominable snowman.

The Kemerovo government announced on Oct. 10 that a two-day expedition the previous weekend to the region’s Azassky cave and Karatag peak “collected irrefutable evidence” of yetis’ existence on the wintry plateau.

“Conference participants came to the conclusion that the artifacts found give 95% evidence of the habitation of the ‘snow man’ on Kemerovo region territory,” read a statement. “In one of the detected tracks, Russian scientist Anatoly Fokin noted several hairs that might belong to the yeti,” it added. The group also discovered footprints, a presumed bed and various other markers.

The scientific community has historically disputed the existence of the yeti given scant conclusive evidence. But numerous sightings of such creatures have been reported in Himalayan countries and in North America, where it is known as Sasquatch, or bigfoot.

The Mothman Mythos

Around the first of every year (or the end of the one preceding it), Mothman usually turns up on many of the various Fortean “Top Ten” lists, ranking hither and yon as people’s favorite monstrosity of one category or another. For me, Mothman is most likely representative of various cryptozoological phenomenon, though many proponents of the legends also state belief that the dark-winged-one could have been any number of other things: an alien being, perhaps, or even some interdimensional presence.

The beginnings of the legend are well known, centering around Point Pleasant, West Virginia in November of 1966 when a group of frightened youths came barging into the local police station telling about a terrifying encounter they’d had earlier in the evening on November 15. Thus a blue-blooded American legend was born… but was the creature in question really what so many others have described over the years: a winged man-thing?

Indeed, there are a number of reports of strange creatures that were being seen in Point Pleasant around the time of the so-called “Mothman flap.” The majority of the accounts seem to indicate the presence of a large, winged entity that’s generally described as being close to six or seven feet tall, with large red eyes oriented near the chest area of an average human form. Curiously, the size of the wings themselves are often described as being too small to be capable of providing lift for a creature so large… but perhaps even more strange are the aspects of the Mothman mythos that may involve a creature with no wings at all!

I’m sure many folks just did a double-take, but bear with me here, because delving into the heart of the Mothman mystery should also be afforded an honest cross-examination of many of the claims made by those who encountered the creature throughout the late 1960s. Going back to those initial accounts around November of 1966, specifically the first one involving the two couples Roger and Linda Scarberry, and Steve and Mary Mallette, what is remembered of the encounter versus what was initially recorded does present a few discrepancies. For instance, when the story of the foursome’s startling encounter appeared the following morning in the Pacific Stars and Stripes newspaper, a particularly odd statement was made about the creature’s locomotion: that it “was an awkward runner.”

Indeed, many familiar with the legend will recall that as the group sped along in their escape from the old World War II munitions area outside of town, the creature was said to have pursued them, flying along at incredible speeds matching that of the witnesses in their car. However, it is curious that this initial statement that appeared in print mentioned terrestrial locomotion of the bipedal variety, and in the absence of references to there being wings observed. The story would change greatly in subsequent recollections by witnesses, with famous statements such as, “That bird kept right up with us,” furthering the creature’s legendary abilities.

Later encounters, such as that of Marcella Bennett a few nights after the Scarberry/Mallette encounter, involved seeing the creature moving about on the ground, although again, no mention of wings or the creature taking flight was recorded. Even John Keel, who authored the first authoritative text on what might have been occurring in Point Pleasant around the time (having been there throughout much of the Mothman flap himself), would eventually begin to surmise that “Mothman” was more likely to have been the result a combination of different factors. While many of the encounters detailed what was obviously some kind of large bird, others seemed more indicative of a large, red-eyed humanoid, or what Keel referred to as an “Abominable Swamp Slob” (i.e. a Bigfoot-like creature).

While a majority of the misinterpretation regarding Mothman stemmed from the years surrounding its presence in Point Pleasant between 1966 and ’67, certain aspects of the mystery have carried over into subsequent decades just as well. One popular myth that arose from the more metaphysical aspects of the Mothman story suggested that similar creatures were seen at the times of (or directly preceding) major disasters. Even stories regarding the terrible accident at the Chernobyl nuclear facility in 1986, as well as stories surrounding the Galveston Hurricane of 1900, began to incorporate tales of a “winged creature” that ominously appeared prior to each disaster. However, commenting at The Gralien Report in 2010, cryptozoologist and Fortean scholar Loren Coleman touched on the folkloric aspects of these stories as well:

John Keel and I openly discussed with the media, and did our best to straighten out the record regarding the mythos that became the Chernobyl “Mothman” accounts.The Chernobyl story, the Galveston Hurricane-Mothman tie-in, and other examples given in the 2002 movie were pure fiction. As you note, right after the movie was released, various websites posted the Chernobyl/Mothman sightings as factual. But there is not one thread of evidence that any winged weirdies were witnessed before the Chernobyl accident.It is a bit of movie fiction that has, unfortunately, moved into pseudo-factoid cryptozoology.

Whatever was really going on may be lost to time… but the mystery continues to captivate us; despite how some of the facts may have been changed with time.Indeed, to share Coleman’s wisely-stated sentiments, what might be called “pseudo-factoid cryptozoology” could comprise far more of the Mothman mystery than many are willing to accept. A careful cross-examination of available data suggests that rather than one singular phenomenon having occurred in West Virginia between 1966-67, there were perhaps a multitude of strange happenings, which became compounded over the years courtesy of speculation and hearsay. These resulted in all-encompassing legends of a mystery beast we know today as “Mothman” (which, as most will admit, didn’t even resemble a moth in the very best witness descriptions).

Are Ghosts Real?

What is a ghost? Well, it’s not something that runs around in a white sheet; no matter what your mom tells you, she’s just being cheap with your Halloween costume. A ghost is usually thought of as the visual presence of a deceased spirit that’s manifested itself to either help someone they knew when they were living, torture someone they knew while they were living, because they are attached to something in the living plane, or because they haven’t yet realized that they died. For years, people have reported seeing ghosts, or contacting the dead, but the question remains: Are they real? Or are these people just really crazy?

Most ghost stories you hear are usually without accompanying evidence. It’s usually something like, “Oh man, my grandma told me that when she was a little girl, she used to hear laughing coming from down the hall, and then when she’d go check, there would be no one there. So when I went to my great grandma’s house, I stayed up all night, and I heard it too!”. Stories like that are pretty hard to take seriously, since they’re usually just the individual’s mind playing tricks on them, experiencing what it wants to experience, rather than an actual encounter. However, there are those who claim to have real evidence of ghosts, gathered through, and rooted in, science.

Equipment like EMF meters (used to read Electromagnetic Field; a fluctuation in which is believed to indicate ghost activity), ambient temperature thermometers (a device that can be aimed to read the temperature in a specific area; a drop in temperature is believed to indicate activity), dowsing rods (the same “L shaped” rods used to find water back in the day…they probably don’t work), audio-recording equipment (sound is recorded then separated by frequencies to check for sounds of paranormal activity), and infrared motion sensors (to separate human and ghost activity).

With equipment like this, groups like TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal Society) and other “Ghost-hunters” have sprung up all over the world to investigate and document encounters with ghosts. Many claim to have come across evidence in the form of recorded voices, photos (of either partial ghosts themselves, or glowing orbs, which are usually thought of as signs of ghosts on film), and personal encounters.

So this brings up to our original questions: Are ghosts real? Our answer to that is a solid: maybe. We’ve never seen one, but many people say they have. Sometimes sightings turn out to be carbon monoxide induced hallucinations, but other times, perfectly sane people without a single bit of foreign substance in their bodies make the same claims, and who are we to tell them they’re wrong? So folks, until we see one for ourselves, ghost will definitely remain…an Otherworld Mystery.

The case of John Titor

Time Travel: John Titor's Startling Predictions Is it possible to travel back in time? A man calling himself John Titor claims it is. In fact, Titor says that he is a time traveler from the year 2036. These pronouncements and others were made on various Internet forums and chat rooms from November 2000 to March 2001, ending when Titor went back to the future—or so the story goes. Since then a cult industry has sprung up, attracting the attention of tens of thousands of Web surfers, both true believers and naysayers.

Why are you posting messages on the Internet?

JOHN TITOR: I’ve been trying to alert anyone to the possibility of a civil war in the United States. To see it unfold is very interesting. I realize no one will actually believe me, and I’m not sure you should.

Tell us how the war started. Who was involved? Who won?

Civil war in the United States will start in 2005. The conflict flares up and down, but the year 2008 was a general date when everyone realized the world they were living in was over.

Time Travel: John Titor's Startling Predictions When the civil conflict got worse, people generally decided to either stay in the cities and lose most of their civil rights under the guise of security, or leave the cities for more isolated and rural areas. The conflict consumed everyone in the U.S. by 2012 and ended with a very short World War III.

How can we survive the war?

If you want to survive the coming conflict, learn to let fear keep you alive. Too many of you turn off the life-saving natural instincts and premonitions when it’s convenient. The same person who has five dead-bolt locks on their door will think nothing about getting into a parking-garage elevator with a total stranger. If you want to live, keep your eyes open.

How does your time machine work?

The basics of time travel will begin for you at CERN in about a year when they announce their ability to create microsingularities, and end in 2034 with the building of the first “time machine.” The unit I have is called a GE C204 gravity-distortion unit. It’s about 5-feet-long and 2-feet-by-2-feet square. The C204 unit is accurate from 50 to 60 years a jump and travels at about ten years an hour at 100% power.

During operation the C204 is usually placed inside a vehicle. The gravity field generated by the unit overtakes you very quickly. You feel a tug toward the unit similar to rising quickly in an elevator, and it continues to rise based on the power setting. Outside, the vehicle appears to accelerate as the light is bent around it. After that, it appears to fade to black and remains totally black outside the vehicle until the unit is turned off.

Can you travel to a place and time of your choice?

The distortion unit has operational limits. The unit I have begins to “break away” at about 60 years. In other words, if I wanted to go back 2,000 years and meet Christ, there is a good chance I would end up on a worldline where he was never born.

What would happen if you met yourself in another timeline?

Nothing would happen. The universe is made up of infinite worldlines where everything is possible and has a 100% chance of happening. Therefore, there are no paradoxes. The Everett-Wheeler Model is correct. [There exist parallel universes in which anything that can happen does happen.] It has always surprised me why that concept is so hard for people to imagine and accept. I have met or seen myself twice on different worldlines. I was born in 1998; so the other “me” is two [years old] on your worldline.

How does your original worldline differ from ours?

The fact that I’m here makes it different. I would guess the temporal divergence between this worldline and my original is about 2%. Of course, the longer I am here, the larger that divergence becomes from my point of view. I get home by going back before I arrived and then going forward to 2036. If I go forward to “your” 2036 now, it would probably look nothing like mine. Under multiple-world theory, there are an infinite number of “homes” that I could return to that don’t have me there. I can never get back to the exact worldline I left, but I can get back to a worldline that is so close, no one would know the difference.

Why do people travel in time?

The reason we use time travel in 2036 is to get information or items that would be helpful in 2036. Right now most of our practical missions are from 1960 to 1980. I was sent to 1975 to get an IBM computer system called the 5100. It was one of the first portable computers made with the unique ability to read older IBM programming languages. We need the system in 2036 to “debug” various legacy programs that are used in larger mainframe computers.

Can you tell us what 2036 is like?

In 2036 I live in Florida with my family, and I’m currently stationed at an Army base in Tampa. I was born in 1998; so I do share some childhood memories with all of you. Life is centered more on the family and then the community. I cannot imagine living even a few hundred miles away from my parents. People spend more time talking to each other and their neighbors. I’ve noticed the same effect here when the power goes off.

There is a lot more personal trust and less paranoia. There is no large industrial complex creating masses of useless food and recreational items. Food and livestock are grown and sold locally. People spend much more time reading. Religion is taken seriously, and everyone can multiply and divide in their heads.

What can you tell us about our immediate future?

Since I will eventually be leaving this worldline, I could easily tell you all sorts of things that would happen in the next few years. Unfortunately, your worldline is already 2% different from mine, and there’s no way to give you absolute facts about future events. When the day comes for my “prediction” to be realized, it may happen or it may not. In fact, the information I give you will allow someone to affect the outcome based on the prediction itself. If what I say does happen, then your ability to judge your environment is crippled by your acceptance of me as a prophet. If I am wrong, then everything I have said that might possibly have made you think about your world in a different way is suddenly discredited. I do not want either. You are able to change your worldline just as I am. Can you stop the civil war before it gets here? Sure. Will you do it? Probably not.

What are the major health concerns in the future?

A great many people are still dying from CJD [Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease]. I want to emphasize how devastating this disease will be for you in the future. We only eat meat that we raise ourselves. Do not eat or use products from any animal that is fed and eats parts of its own dead. The “Mad Cow” story here is yet to begin.

What does time travel do to religion?

Since every possible outcome, event and possibility is happening and will happen, then all good and all evil must balance out in the universe. After the reality of multiple worlds sank into our collective thought, the one basic change to all religious dogma is the concept that good and evil does not exist as an organized force in our lives, nor can it be used as a useful way to judge what God may think of a situation.

Good and evil are personal experiences that can only guide what we do as individuals and how we relate to others. This outlook also makes it impossible for me to judge any other person or event. Since we cannot see the entire universe as God sees it, we will never be gods or be capable of accurately judging anything outside of ourselves. My actions can only be judged as good and bad by me and my God.

Does the ability to know what’s going to occur help convince people you’re a time traveler?

Consider that you are a time traveler who goes back in time to the first week of February 1970, and you are confronted with the same problem. What do you remember right now about the second week of February 1970?

Naturally, the conflict in Vietnam and the Middle East came up, but as someone has already stated here, that wouldn’t be any more convincing than it is now. I suppose I could predict the failure of the Apollo 13 spacecraft, but since time travel is ridiculous, I would be blamed for sabotage.

What surprises you the most about our time period?

I like the incredible freedom you have, but I see it as a trap. The cost is the loss of your sense of connection with family and community. Yes, you can self-actualize your ambitions, but at what cost to the people around you or yet to be born? The incredible availability of art, literature and limitless resources is hardly taken advantage of as you sit in front of your TVs every day.

What would our government do if they found you?

I would probably end up in a nice little padded cell while they poked at my machine with a screwdriver. I’m really not that worried. First, they would have to believe in time travel; and second, stupidity and greed are fairly predictable. In my experience, evil may be powerful, but it isn’t very bright.

How did you feel about the President in 2005 and 2009?

The President or “leader” in 2005 tried desperately to hold the country together, but many of their policies drove a larger wedge into the Bill of Rights. The President in 2009 was interested only in keeping his/her power base.

Do you think that war is immoral?

I disapprove of murder. Man as a species is incapable of changing his nature through will alone, and war is a tool of biology. The ability for war sleeps in each one of us, and we must decide what we will do before it awakens. As for morality, again I point to the universal balance of good and evil. For every worldline where there is peace, there is a worldline that has destroyed itself.

It sounds as if you think a war would benefit us.

I have an example that’s closer to my situation: You are a time traveler who wishes to go back in time to 1941 because your grandparents live close to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. You realize you can’t stop the war, but you may be able to help them prepare for it. Strangely, December 7 comes and goes with no sneak attack. As the war in Europe rages on, Japan fails to join the Axis power, there is no war in the Pacific, and the United States remains neutral. Then you watch as Germany begins to develop the atomic bomb all by itself. What would you do?

As far as war goes, I have faith you are quite capable of starting one all by yourself. I am hard pressed to accept any criticism of my outlook on that subject. Personal responsibility, determination, honor, friendship and self-reliance are not just words we fantasize about in the future. I watch every day what you are doing as a society. While you sit by and watch your Constitution being torn away from you, you willfully eat poisoned food, buy manufactured products no one needs and turn an uncaring eye away from millions of people suffering and dying all around you.

Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep. Perhaps you should be less concerned about me and more concerned about that. I think a war would be good for you and your society. I don’t want to stop it, nor would I if I could.

Is there anything you want us to know before you return to 2036?

One very disturbing thing I have noticed about your society is your blind acceptance of what you are told. Do you really think the news industry doesn’t have an agenda? Do you really think those hamburgers you stuff into your body are safe?

Do you really think your government is telling you the truth? What proof do you have of any of that?

I often hear, “If time travel is real, where are all the time travelers?” Quite frankly, you all scare the hell out of us. In trying to help you, we put ourselves at great risk, and there’s really no point to it. Since worldlines, outcomes and events are infinite, we have better things to do.

TIME ON HIS SIDE?

Despite John Titor's repeated assertion, "My goal is not to be believed," the Internet is rife with skirmishes between ardent disciples and skeptics. Here are the main bones of contention:

In 2000 Titor declared, "The basics for time travel start at CERN in about a year." Six months later, news stories emerged announcing that scientists at CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland were confident that its new atom-smasher would create mini-black holes, the same kinds of singularities John Titor claimed to use. As Titor was posting, it was known that CERN's colossal particle-accelerator would soon be brought online and that scientists there intended to make artificial black holes.

In 2001 Titor said there would be a "devastating" breakout of Mad Cow in the U.S., leading to widespread death from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), the human variant of the brain-wasting malady. In 2003 the USDA announced the first documented case of Mad Cow in the U.S. amid claims that the government was suppressing the true extent of the problem. On that note, Johns Hopkins researchers have recently estimated that 10% of Alzheimer's cases may actually be CJD. Debunkers say that a wave of Mad Cow wouldn't have been hard to predict, since Europe's epidemic was already under way, and it was just a matter of time before it hit the U.S.

Titor maintained that he went back to 1975 to retrieve a vintage IBM 5100 computer that had a secret code-reading capability, which IBM kept under wraps. A former company programmer has since confirmed that the 5100 had an interface between the assembly code and the emulator beneath it, allowing programmers access to all IBM code. The function was allegedly suppressed to protect it from competitors. Some have speculated that John Titor is simply an IBM programmer with inside knowledge.

In 2001 Titor forecast that China was "pretty close to putting a man in orbit; it shouldn't surprise you if they do that soon." In October 2003 China became the third nation to put an astronaut into Earth orbit.

Titor implied that weapons of mass destruction would not be found in Iraq. "Are you really surprised that Iraq has nukes now, or is that just BS to whip everyone up into accepting the next war?" he wrote in early 2001. Of course, he's not the only one who thought it was BS from the beginning, but this Titor posting preceded both 9/11 and any public discussion of an invasion of Iraq.

Titor predicted "a series of Waco-like incidents," but didn't say anything about 9/11. Some speculate that this omission was because the coming civil war and subsequent nuclear world war dwarfed an event like 9/11. "Does anyone today talk about the sinking of the Reuben James?" asked one post. Titor did say that there were occurrences he refused to warn about. Plus, divergence between worldlines could mean that he didn't know about 9/11, since it never happened on his worldline. Some have also pointed out that John Titor was simply using a reference point that people were already familiar with-in this case the Branch Davidian inferno in Waco.

Titor carefully pointed out that, according to the many-worlds theory, if his predictions don't come true, it just means that our worldline is slightly different from his and that ours can change at any time.

Some physicists have said that Titor's time machine would not work since he did not have enough mass to create the microsingularity he claimed he had. Titor countered by saying that the theory of general relativity works for mass too and that his double-singularity only simulated the effects of a black hole. Time travel doesn't need a total theory anyway, he wrote; it just needs to use the parts of quantum theory that work in the real world.

Some physicists maintain that John Titor's time machine would never be able to overcome Hawking Radiation, which would fast exceed tolerable levels and cause the singularity to explode. John responded in 2001 that Hawking Radiation could be adequately controlled. In 2004 Stephen Hawking himself conceded that he was wrong about his black-hole paradox and that black holes might allow information within them to escape after all.

In 2003 Duke University physics professor Robert G. Brown posted a spirited refutation of John Titor's physics, focusing primarily on the impossibility of Titor carting around mass-heavy black holes in an automobile and shooting them up with electrons. Brown makes a strong case that Titor's physics and engineering claims are preposterous.

The picture of the bent laser that Titor posted online is a fake, some experts insist. If the gravity outside the car were bending it, as Titor claimed, then all the light would be bent, not just the laser. Titor never addressed this issue, apparently since the paradox was pointed out after his supposed return to the future.

Representing John Titor's supposed family is Larry Haber, a pricey entertainment lawyer based in Celebration, Florida. Also the location of the headquarters of the John Titor Foundation, Celebration is a master-planned community on Disney-owned real estate outside Orlando. Haber, one of Celebration's first residents, has been a Disney attorney. Some suspect that Haber or his teenage son may have originally propagated the hoax as a merchandising scheme or as a way to bring traffic to TimeTravelInstitute.com, where Titor's first postings appeared. Interestingly, the Web site originally had the same bulletin board administrator as the town of Celebration. Oliver Williams (the current editor of JohnTitor.com and compiler of our accompanying interview) is also suspected of being the supposed time traveler, using the John Titor Foundation as a cover.
