Featured Articles and Content

Los fantasmas de Hampton Court

The cover story delves into the alleged hauntings at Hampton Court Palace in the United Kingdom. Juanjo Abenza explores the history of the palace, particularly its association with King Henry VIII and the numerous executions of his wives, whose spirits are said to still roam the rooms, contributing to numerous ghost stories.

Arqueología en el Nazca Canario

Jaime Rubio reports on archaeological findings in the Canary Islands, specifically Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. The article discusses the discovery of large stone circles and other figures in lava, initially dismissed by some as not having archaeological value. The research by Dr. Renata Springer of the University of La Laguna is highlighted, detailing monumental inscriptions found on mountain slopes, described as large furrows oriented towards the sacred mountain of Tindaya. A peculiar finding is the discovery of a previously unknown script, dubbed 'Libyan-Canarian,' alongside Lybian-Berber characters, suggesting a unique linguistic heritage among the ancient inhabitants.

Bianca Atwell, a writer from Yaiza, proposes that the 'Flecha de los Ajaches' (Arrow of Ajaches) represents the 'Arrow of Time' as defined by astronomer A. Eddington, suggesting it might be a quantum arrow alerting to a cosmic event in 2012. Atwell bases this theory on solar imagery and a six-pointed star, similar to those found in English Crop Circles, which she links to Venus and its transit in 2012, also referencing Mayan calendars. She posits that 2012 will bring a 'change of consciousness' rather than an apocalypse, with the planet increasing its electromagnetic frequency for self-protection.

The article also touches upon other surprising discoveries in Lanzarote, including a potential underwater structure near Yaiza resembling a path of large stone slabs, reminiscent of the Bimini Road, and an Olmec-style round sculpture found at a depth of 22 meters. Further discoveries on Fuerteventura are mentioned, including formations that, while not necessarily archaeological, hold 'hidden value' regarding their origin and purpose.

Ramiro Calle, de la mente a la lucidez

Cristina Lázaro presents an interview with Ramiro Calle, a renowned figure in yoga and meditation. The article explores Calle's insights into the mind and lucidity, and his frequent visits to India to learn from spiritual masters.

La puerta solar de Oliete

Joanna Quim, a new collaborator from Badalona, writes about a fascinating 'solar gate' discovered near Oliete, emerging from stones and associated with the famous painting of 'La Tía Chula.' This discovery is described as bringing magic to a place often overlooked.

Cuento: La Espera

This section features a short story titled 'La Espera' (The Wait), which, according to the editorial, follows a protagonist who waits for her beloved to arrive for a rendezvous.

Crónica del Estreno: Lo que nos dijeron las voces

Juan Manuel Tomás chronicles the premiere of a documentary film titled 'Lo que nos dijeron las voces' (What the Voices Told Us). The film merges cinema with psychophonic experimentation, exploring alleged paranormal phenomena. The documentary was filmed in various locations in the Murcia region, including a campsite in Bolnuevo, the Palace of Olite, the abandoned Hostal Cónsul in La Unión, and a haunted house in Cartagena. The film aims to investigate the nature of recorded voices, their origins, and potential meanings, with one particularly chilling voice announcing, "today I want three souls."

Ricardo Groizard directed the film, acting as cinematographer, sound technician, producer, and screenwriter, guided by the research of Antonio Pérez. The documentary is described as neither overly commercial nor excessively academic, striking a balance for researchers and the general public. It explores four chilling stories from the Murcia region, including the Bolnuevo campsite incident, the former orphanage at Olite, the story of Alfonso Martínez Saura and his haunted hostel, and a haunted house in Cartagena where clear voices and unexplained phenomena were recorded. The film also features Celeste, a medium who claims to communicate with the deceased, offering her interpretation of the recorded voices and events.

Los ojos del Universo: OVNI en Alicante

Miguel Ángel Alcalá reports on a UFO sighting in Alicante, Spain. A couple witnessed two spherical, luminous objects on the road during a sunny morning. The article questions whether their expert analysis will provide an explanation for this phenomenon.

El Último Peldaño: Otro año divulgando el misterio

This section highlights the continued work of 'El Último Peldaño' (The Last Step) in disseminating information about mysteries and the unexplained. It mentions the podcast, social media presence (Facebook, Twitter), and its association with Onda Regional de Murcia.

LA LUCERNA DE CARONTE, Issue 15, is a Spanish-language publication focusing on spirituality, philosophy, and cultural exploration. This issue prominently features Ramiro Calle, a renowned writer and teacher of yoga and meditation, alongside articles on a psychophonic documentary and an ancient astronomical site.

Documentary 'Lo que nos dijeron las voces'

The magazine introduces a pioneering documentary titled 'Lo que nos dijeron las voces,' which it labels as 'Documental Psicofónico.' This genre is described as a fusion of documentary filmmaking and real-time psychophonic experimentation. The article notes the bravery and hard work involved in its creation, highlighting the three years it took to produce and the ongoing promotional efforts. The film is praised for pushing the phenomenon of psychophonies further than previously known, presenting an innovative approach that makes viewers feel as if they are witnessing the impossible, a significant achievement in an era of information overload. The creators, Groizard and Pérez, are commended for their independent production without sponsors, demonstrating resilience in overcoming adversity.

Interview with Ramiro Calle

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an interview with Ramiro Calle, conducted by Cristina Lázaro. Calle, described as a writer, yoga and meditation professor, and director of the Shadak yoga center in Madrid, shares his profound connection with these disciplines. He explains how yoga and meditation have transformed his life, providing a special sense of purpose and aiding in the continuous learning process that is life. He emphasizes that the key to happiness is inner peace, achieved through a lucid mind and a compassionate heart, and by cultivating equanimity rather than succumbing to attachment or hatred. Calle also discusses his extensive travels in India, which have deeply influenced his understanding of life and death, viewing them as natural parts of existence. He shares his experiences with near-death phenomena, describing a neutral, peaceful state beyond the physical body. He advises against clinging to the body, advocating for its care without attachment, as letting go is inevitable. His core message is encapsulated in the adage: "We are on the path to help each other. There is nothing else but love."

The 'Puerta Solar' of Oliete

The magazine also features a reportage by Joanna Quim on the 'Puerta Solar' near Oliete, an ancient site with remarkable astronomical significance. The 'Puerta Solar' consists of two rectangular openings, believed to have been created by humans thousands of years ago, demonstrating an advanced understanding of time calculation. These openings align with the solstices and equinoxes, serving as a solar calendar and observatory. The article suggests that this site challenges conventional historical narratives, prompting a re-evaluation of our ancestors' capabilities. The precise alignment with the sun during equinoxes and summer solstice is detailed, with a note to visit a specific website for more precise data on the winter solstice. The 'Puerta Solar' is presented not just as a marker of time for agriculture and animal husbandry but also as a place of potential importance for significant events or individuals in ancient times. The author encourages a shift in perspective, moving away from viewing ancient peoples as primitive and recognizing their sophisticated knowledge of the cosmos.

Philosophical Reflections

Throughout the issue, philosophical reflections on suffering, perception, and the nature of the mind are woven into the articles. Drawing from Buddhist teachings, particularly the words of Buda, the text explores how suffering is often a choice, stemming from our reactions and attachments rather than inevitable pain. The mind is identified as a potential enemy that steals calm and happiness, with yoga and meditation presented as tools to transform it into a friend. The concept of "learning to see things as they are" and accepting the inevitable while working to improve what can be changed is emphasized as a path to a more conscious and generous life.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine champions independent creators and explores subjects that challenge conventional thinking, encouraging readers to question, learn, and evolve.

Title: LA LUCERNA DE CARONTE
Issue: 21
Date: January 2011 (inferred from article dates)
Publisher: N/A
Country: Spain
Language: Spanish

This issue of LA LUCERNA DE CARONTE delves into a variety of mysterious and unexplained phenomena, with a significant focus on prehistoric art, ufology, and historical enigmas.

La Puerta de Sol: Prehistoric Art and Mystery

The cover story, "La Puerta de Sol," explores a rock art site in Spain. The author describes the site's visual characteristics, noting that it is best viewed from specific positions and that the rock surface is altered and patinated, with red paintings executed in two distinct techniques. These paintings, found on a yellowish rock surface, are described as having a small variation in colors, with some resembling "stars." The article details specific figures, including vertical and horizontal lines, and a schematic human-like figure. The author discusses the historical context, suggesting that the area was an important meeting center for primitive cultures in late August for commercial, festive, and religious exchanges. The presence of prehistoric paintings, fossils, remains of different civilizations, Iberian settlements, pictograms, and medieval tombs indicates the zone's historical importance over long centuries. A technique used to view the paintings has unfortunately led to their destruction. An interpretation center for these rock paintings is located in Ariño, near Oliete. The article also touches upon the interpretation of the paintings, with one hypothesis suggesting they depict the sun's rays passing through an opening, possibly during an equinox, while a shaman performs a ritual. The dating of the artwork is placed between the Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age. The significance of these paintings is seen in their representation of sun worship and as a form of pre-writing, possibly depicting agricultural cycles and the importance of equinoxes.

They described two spherical objects, one larger than the other, appearing metallic and having a red ring. The investigation ruled out weather balloons and common aircraft. The analysis, including a photograph and software verification, suggests the objects were likely tourist hot air balloons from the company Aeroglobo, which operated flights in the area that morning.

• Unexplained Sounds: The article mentions recordings of a faint female whisper and a more distinct sound resembling a dog's bark, with speculation about their origin, including potential environmental sounds or actual paranormal activity.

Title: LA LUCERNA DE CARONTE
Issue: 51
Document Type: magazine_issue
Original Language: Spanish

Hampton Court: A Place of History and Hauntings

The article "Conclusiones" from LA LUCERNA DE CARONTE, issue 51, delves into the historical and allegedly paranormal aspects of Hampton Court Palace. The author begins by stating that Hampton Court is an extraordinary place, worthy of a visit for its historical significance, including the palace, gardens, clock, labyrinth, and even an old tennis court. Situated by the Thames, it is presented as a must-see for history enthusiasts.

However, the author notes that, like many historic locations, Hampton Court carries a history of tragedies and sad, violent events. A central question posed is whether history creates the paranormal phenomena or if the belief in history's influence creates them. The author acknowledges that for some, these are mere stories and legends, while for others, they are clear paranormal phenomena.

Personal Investigation and Findings

The author expresses surprise at the number of interesting things recorded during their visit, contrasting it with previous experiences where recordings yielded nothing, not even slightly 'suspicious' occurrences. In this specific case, they managed to record supposed female laments and dog barks, which they note fit perfectly with what people say about the location.

Despite these findings, the author urges a grounded perspective, recognizing that the circumstances of the visit were not ideal. Hampton Court is a tourist attraction, and the presence of many people could have influenced or even provoked the recorded sounds or voices. The author expresses a desire for permission to enter the palace in a small, private group to conduct controlled recordings in specific areas like the 'Haunted Gallery' or the 'Wolsey Closet'.

Historical Sightings and Future Prospects

While controlled investigations are pending, the author finds the current recordings promising. They reference past events, noting that if there were witnesses to the 'Grey Lady' in 1986, then in 2003, everyone could see the famous video of the 'skeletor' (as that figure was called). The author's own experience in 2011 leads them to believe that such occurrences will continue in the future, ensuring that the mystery of Hampton Court remains alive for centuries, long after its original inhabitants (or at least some of them) have departed.

Supporting Information and Links

The article includes an image from a security camera at Hampton Court Palace and an "Interactivo" section. This section provides a web link to the official Hampton Court Palace website (http://www.hrp.org.uk/HamptonCourtPalace) and links to its Wikipedia pages in Spanish and English. It also provides a link to Enrique VIII's Wikipedia page in Spanish and English.

Additionally, the article features a profile of Juan José Abenza Moreno from Murcia, Spain. He is identified as an IT engineer, a collaborator for "El Ultimo Peldaño," the author of the website www.sherlockholmesonline.es, and someone who is "enamored of English castles with ghosts."

The editorial stance appears to be one of cautious curiosity, acknowledging the allure of paranormal claims while maintaining a degree of skepticism and emphasizing the need for controlled investigation.
