PHOTO: The Gurdon Light - Gurdon, Arkansas

Gurdon Light

The Gurdon Light is one of the better-known, and examined, cases of "ghost lights."  First reported in Gurdon, Arkansas (US) around 1931, the Gurdon Light is seen over the railroad tracks in the small town in Clark County, Arkansas.  It is clearly visible, and attracts flocks of spectators -- especially around Halloween.

This photograph was taken in 1994 by the immensely popular US TV show, Unsolved Mysteries (see sidebar).  It was one of the first photos of the phenomenon considered "credible" by the scientific community.  Other photographs and footage of The Gurdon Light captured both before and since 1994 have taken on added significance, but I chose this one due to its historical import (and Fair Use).

Ghost Lights go by many names, including faery fires and corpse candles, and have been seen across the world for centuries.  They seem to be most prolific in Welsh legend, but are far from unique to the UK.  Prevailing theories explaining the Ghost Lights phenomenon include magnetic fields, mineral deposits, and the infamous "swamp gas."  While some instances are known to be manufactured (usually by, and for, criminal means), there is no official explanation for Ghost Lights.

Arkansas' Gurdon Light remains unexplained.

PHOTO: Foo Fighters - WWII Bogies

Foo Fighters

This photo shows (possibly) German "foo fighters" chasing an American bomber across the European Theater in WWII. Foo fighters may have been among the first unmanned drones used in war. It is possible they used VRIL technology, and may have been an extension of the Haunebu Program.

Foo fighters -- also known as bogies -- were reportedly unarmed, and apparently used for surveillance.

VRIL and the Nazi Haunebu Program of WWII

Haunebu

A lot of ink and pixels have been spilled to debunk and disprove the Nazi VRIL and Haunebu programs, especially in the West. Some of these authors and investigators have been well-meaning, however misguided, but others have purposefully spread co-intel to muddy the waters.

While fanciful stories regarding the Occult and Venusian spacewomen (as well as Nordic Aliens) can be easily dismissed, many videos and information concerning the VRIL and Haunebu programs have been declassified and are available online, and elsewhere. The best way of knowing that there is some truth to them is, of course, the fact that they are routinely removed; if they were propaganda or misinformation, they would be more readily-accessible -- the way the stories regarding VRIL Occultists and ponytailed, psychic Venusians are.

There was no "Vril Society," nor any Nordic aliens; this was a cover story for VRIL technology used by Nazi Germany and their allies in their Haunebu program during WWII, specifically in the European Theater.

The German V-2 rocket is thought to have been the first man-made craft to reach space on either October 3^rd, 1942 or in 1944 (discounting ancient astronaut theories), and the term "foo fighter" comes from the glowing orbs Allied WWII pilots saw during flights in the European and Pacific Theaters. The first US rocket to reach space did not do so until 1949, several years after Operation: Paperclip nabbed Nazi scientists and researchers.

One of the "smoking guns" in this covert history is the fact that Prescott Bush was indicted for funding both sides of WWII. Ford Motor Company, IBM, Hugo Boss, Standard Oil of New Jersey, and many other American-based corporations and businesses, supplied the Nazis -- and the swastika existed in numerous cultures long before, including some Native American tribes (in which it allegedly meant "war"). Even George Soros, one of the primary financial supporters of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, collaborated with the Nazis ("This video [was] removed for violating YouTube's Terms of Service." - which is clear evidence of a conspiracy constituting Crimes Against Humanity - 2019).

While some of these tests were clearly successful, there is no real way of knowing how successful, nor how many vehicles were made and put into use -- or for how long. Some of the pictures appear to have been doctored by propagandists, while others appear to be of decommissioned craft that may have been prototypes, models, or simple mock-ups. Others clearly show armed, apparently operational, saucer-shaped vehicles of a strikingly similar nature. WWII was the beginning of "The Space Race."

Alien life is almost certain, mathematically speaking if nothing else, but the Nazi/Axis space programs -- specifically the VRIL and Haunebu programs -- were very real, and the craft that came from those flew not only in WWII, but served as the foundation for some modern-day craft, as well. Whether or not the Nazi Haunebu models, or any craft using VRIL technology, are capable of space travel or are in use today remains unknown to this author.

Haunebu Test Flight, 1939

1939 Haunebu Test Flight (Video)

Declassified video showing the 1939 Haunebu test flight, allegedly in Nazi Germany. The Nazis were developing saucer-shaped aircraft using spinning disc technology before WWII. American forces first encountered Nazi UFO aircraft in WWII, terming them "foo fighters." It was not until 1947 that the term "flying saucer" became a staple in American households, thanks to a sighting by Kenneth Arnold. 

The video appears to have been removed but may be avilable elsehwere.

Ghost Light Transmissions - Silent Weaponry at Yakima, Washington

In a significant number of Ghost Lights reports, witnesses claim to have heard voices or felt strong emotions which strongly affected, or even dictated, their behavior. Many say they felt restrained, or even heard a voice telling them to, "Stay away!" or otherwise warning them of danger from the Ghost Light itself. 

In other cases, they felt wildly compelled to leave the area and avoid the Ghost Lights entirely.  Those affected reported experiencing a panic state forcing a "Fight or Flight" response that was hard to ignore.

More remarkably, many of these reports involve ghost lights seen from hundreds of yards away or farther.  These peculiar cases, likely involving the use of silent weaponry technology, are particularly common to sightings of the Yakima Ghost Lights near the Yakima Indian Reservation in Washington state.

The OddBlog knows that the US military, and its various criminal offshoots, have technology specific to weaponized (manufactured) ball lightning, ghost lights, and mouth-to-skull broadcasts.

Up and Running!

Today will be a good one (barring any unforeseen events), as we finally got our DSL up and going. I know I already have a full-plate when it comes to topics I'm working on, but I got one of the sources I've used before back out of the library, so I'm going to try and get a few more stories and accounts out of it.

Of course, there's no way of knowing what will be useful and what isn't until it's needed, but so long as I have it, I'm going to go through and share whatever tickles my fancy. Having that book and reading the Bogey entry at the time that Ghost Hunters EVP was made was serendipitous to the point of fantastic. I guess it depends on how you feel about "coincidence." No matter how it came to pass, I am certain I correctly identified that EVP -- even though it's only one more clue as to what sort of entity they were dealing with.

Like I said in the post, given the nature of the Hell-Fire Caves, it is very possible the entity was malevolent -- whether or not you want to keep the Bogey as an entity or classification (which I would not suggest), as whatever communicated may have been Elemental or may have been some sort of once-human remnant -- but it is definitely controlled by some sort of intelligence.

Anyway, we'll get into all of it in just a few.

More on Bogies

I recently brought up the subject of Bogies - dwarfen creatures who were said to be the servants of the Devil. In particular, I was discussing how an EVP recently featured on the Ghost Hunters show sounded like it said, "I want my bones," which is what Bogies were said to have moaned (their "Whachoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" catch-phrase).

Then I was reminded that there are pictures and even film which purport to show images of dwarfen creatures. In fact, while not necessarily identified as Bogies, these creatures are not altogether uncommon. Reports of them most often come up around locales associated with Poltergeist activity - more specifically, sites generally associated with tales of human suffering, evil deeds, and so forth, such as the Waverly Sanitorium.

The more I think about this, the more I see the need to classify these creatures as Bogies, along with all the Satanic associations.

But, of course, we all know about photographic fakery, which reached its zenith at the turn of the 20^th-Century. I will post more about that today.

Ghost Hunters EVP Identified?

Now, you might not buy this, but earlier, when we heard the EVP on Ghost Hunters I said I did not think it said, "Hello." I offered some guesses (post immediately following), but I have to be honest, I couldn't make it out during the program and missed the recast. I originally thought it said something about "bones." I didn't mention that earlier because I couldn't make any sense of it and, out of context, I could only think of "my bones" or "I'm bones," or something.

Bogies are horrid, dangerous spirits thought to attack or frighten anyone who doesn't show them respect. They were thought to be short, squat, coal black and hairy, and have ugly, grinning faces. This is the basis of the Bogie-Man (Bogeyman, Boogieman) legend, which parents use to frighten their kids. Then I read this from a source I got from the Decaturville, TN Public Library about Bogies:

"It was once thought they were the most powerful among ghosts because they served as the assistants to the Devil during his evil-doing amongst mankind. They apparently have the ability to change their shape at will and sometimes make a wailing noise that sounds as if they are calling, 'I want my bones.'" - source, pg. 18 (italics mine)

How kick-ass is that shit?

Given the nature of the Hell-Fire Caves -- which most certainly were used by Satanic clubs (one of which Ben Franklin, along with several other Founding Fathers, was a member¹) - doesn't that EVP sound like it was saying, "I want my bones?"

And, before the skeptics get to hollering, remember that these cats were practicing their rituals -- whatever those may have been (this was long before the days of LaVey) -- in the days when Bogies were still a very popular legend. Today, they've taken the form of the Bogeyman, and the whole, "I want my bones," and Devil-worshipping / assisting aspects have been forgotten. But when these guys were doing whatever they were doing, this was a popular legend in its original, Satanic form.

I happen to know a bit about these clubs and the people who participated in them, as they've filtered down into such "secret societies" as the Skull & Bones and others (which are based directly on these original Hellfire Club sects), and they were "Satanic" in nature -- mainly because they openly-mocked the Puritanical practices and beliefs of the practicing Church. I put Satanic in quotes because their Pagan rituals were largely drunken romps -- yet they did invoke Satan in mockery.

This being said, it's not that these guys were necessarily worshipping Satan as we think of it today, but the basic idea was the same: some Dogmatic rituals were practiced more to mock Christianity -- or, more specifically, the dominant Christian doctrines and ideology of the times -- then they all got drunk, ate too much, did some drugs, and had "illicit" and "deviant" sex. Of course, they likely dipped into all sorts of religions and Occult practices as they heard about or learned of them, all of which would have been considered "Satanic" at the time, which is why I bother to make the division.

At any rate, whether truly Bogies or merely "Masters" taunting the investigators, the legend not only fits the time, it fits the locale, and sounds like what I heard in the Ghost Hunters EVP. If these are the recording of ethereal voices manifest from an independent intelligence that was alive during these times, then it would certainly be aware of the legend and may (or may not) have been taunting the investigators. Another theory is that the intelligence is not aware that the legend has since died, so it is not trying to test their intelligence, knowledge, or resources -- just trying to scare them away.

Maybe the legend of the bogie as a malevolent spirit is true and it deserves attention as a species(?) or independent type of haunting.
