Article: CRONICAS DEL MAS ALLA - ENCUENTRO CONSIGO MISMO

This article by Dr. Andrés Barros Pérez-Cotapos, Vice President of the Fundación Mundial de Parapsicología, details a remarkable case of premonition and retrocognition. A sailor recounts an experience from his youth where he saw himself in a naval uniform, marching in a funeral procession, accompanied by a captain. Years later, while serving in the navy, he found himself in a similar situation, marching in the funeral procession of President Juan Antonio Ríos, led by the same captain he had seen in his vision. He later realized that the captain from his vision was also the one who led him to the funeral of President Pedro Aguirre Cerda. The sailor also describes seeing himself as a child and a future self in the vision. Dr. Barros analyzes this as an extraordinary case of time distortion, where a vision allows for mutual perception between the present and future, and then between the future and the past, breaking the linear flow of time.

Article: LOS FANTASMAS DEL TEATRO DRURY LANE

This article discusses the alleged hauntings at the historic Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London. Founded in 1663, the theatre is said to be home to several ghosts. The most famous is the "man in grey," who has reportedly appeared for 200 years, walking through walls and disappearing. The article also mentions the ghost of Joseph Grimaldi, the "Father of Modern Clown," who is said to still assist performers. The ghost of a man murdered and hidden within a wall is also detailed, with his skeleton being discovered during renovations. The article notes that the ghost of the man in grey only disappeared a century after his death, which is unusual for such phenomena.

Article: EL ROSTRO EN LA VENTANA

This section recounts a tragic story of telepathy and premonition during a period of political tension in Chile in September 1973. Gladys, a pregnant woman, experiences intense anxiety about her husband, Carlos, who is stranded in Santiago due to the political upheaval. Despite communication difficulties, Carlos eventually obtains a permit to travel back to Coquimbo. On his journey, he is involved in a severe car accident and dies. Simultaneously, Gladys goes into labor. After giving birth, she sees Carlos's face reflected in her hospital room window, believing he has returned. The article highlights the profound emotional connection and the tragic coincidence of their experiences.

Article: ESPIRITUADOS Y FANTASMAS EN LA BIBLIOTECA NACIONAL DE CHILE

This article explores the phenomenon of ghosts in libraries, with a particular focus on the National Library of Chile. It suggests that libraries, as repositories of knowledge and history, may attract spectral presences. The article mentions various alleged paranormal occurrences, such as disembodied voices, unexplained sounds, and machines activating on their own. It recounts stories from library employees, including Mauricio Castro, who heard a woman's voice and felt hands touching him near the old cemetery beneath the library. Miguel Ángel Espinoza also shares an experience of hearing a drawer close by itself. The article also references similar phenomena in other libraries worldwide, such as the Arundel Castle library and a library in Russia.

Article: HOSPITAL SAN JOSÉ Y SUS FANTASMAS

This article details the alleged hauntings at the old San José Hospital in Chile, which operated from 1872 to 1999. The hospital, built during epidemics like cholera and tuberculosis, is now a site for various corporations. The article describes several ghostly apparitions, including "smoking nuns," a doctor who walks through walls, a headless friar, and a matron in red. The "smoking nuns" are said to be the most famous, appearing when the doors are closed. The article also mentions a doctor who died suddenly in the mid-1900s and is now seen walking through the hospital corridors.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are paranormal phenomena, including ghosts, parapsychology, and ufology. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting anecdotal evidence and personal accounts without necessarily offering definitive scientific explanations. The editorial stance seems to be one of exploring the unexplained and the mysterious, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional understanding. The inclusion of historical cases, personal testimonies, and even fictional elements like a science fiction novel suggests a broad interest in the unusual and the extraordinary.

This issue of "El Noufa" (Issue 11) focuses on "Misterios por Resolver" (Mysteries to Solve), exploring various paranormal phenomena, ghost sightings, and unexplained events. The magazine presents a mix of historical accounts, contemporary alleged incidents, and discussions on the nature of belief and skepticism.

Haunted Hospitals and Ghostly Encounters

The issue begins with accounts of alleged paranormal activity at the former San José Hospital. Witnesses, including a car attendant and a guard, describe unsettling experiences such as shadows, strange noises, and an invisible force. The legend of a "woman in red" who appears in the maternity ward, possibly a former midwife, is also recounted. Magdalena Spencer, director of projects at the Center for Studies for the Quality of Life, shares her personal experience of coexisting with "energies" in the building.

The historical section details the San José Hospital's past, noting its construction between 1841 and 1872 and its role as a lazaretto for infectious diseases. Its location near the General Cemetery was due to fears of contagion. The hospital was attended by the Sisters of Charity, who risked their lives. The old building, with its colonial-style facade and colonial-style facade, is described as having interconnected rooms and open corridors that allowed for notable gardening, with centenary trees. The hospital's history as a health establishment concluded in August 1999 when it moved to a new building. The old building was saved from demolition and declared a National Monument in 2000 due to its architectural and historical significance.

Ghostly Photographs and Phantom Apparitions

The magazine features several articles on photographic evidence of the paranormal. One section discusses "El Conductor y su Acompañante Fantasma" (The Driver and His Phantom Companion), presenting a famous photo from the early 20th century showing a driver with a phantom figure in the back seat, identified as the deceased mother of the driver. The article notes the difficulty of photographic manipulation at the time.

Another article, "Manos Extrañas Aparecen en Fotos" (Strange Hands Appear in Photos), explores several cases of phantom hands captured in images. One is a photo from 2016 of young women working in a clothing factory in the early 20th century, showing an unexplained hand on a worker's shoulder. Another case involves ex-model Peaches Geldof, who posted a photo with a phantom hand shortly before her death. A more recent account from 2011 describes Rhynnice Trelfa capturing a phantom hand in a picnic photo, pointing at a man who later died. Trelfa recounts her terrifying experience and belief that the hand was a message from the other side. A historical photo from around 1900 also shows a phantom hand on a young woman's shoulder.

The "Sobre Fotos de Fantasmas" (About Ghost Photos) section critically examines photographic evidence of ghosts, UFOs, and other paranormal entities, stating that concrete evidence of their existence is lacking. It highlights that many photos are unclear, blurry, and lack data for serious analysis, and that modern computer technology can easily create fraudulent images. An anecdote about Chilean TV host Don Francisco inviting "investigators" who presented questionable evidence of a virgin with moving eyes and alleged ghost photos is mentioned.

The "Phantom Arm" of Pennsylvania

A historical report from 1913 details the "Phantom Arm" phenomenon in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. A "massive, phantomlike arm" was reported to sweep tables clear of dishes, cause stoves to defy gravity, and encircle the waists of young women. The article describes how this phenomenon caused distress and led to houses being vacated.

Exploring the Paranormal: Belief and Skepticism

The issue delves into the broader topic of paranormal phenomena and the debate between belief and skepticism. It discusses how phenomena like unexplained noises, cold spots, and voices can induce fear and curiosity. The article mentions figures like medium Jaime Galté and psychic Isabel Ávila, as well as psychiatrist Otto Dörr, who suggests that clairvoyance is based on intuition. The role of intuition versus scientific proof is a recurring theme.

Parapsychology in Academia and Research

"Parapsicología a las Aulas" (Parapsychology in the Classroom) highlights the academic study of parapsychology, with programs at universities in Edinburgh, Duke, and Utrecht. The "Parapsychological Association" is noted as a leading professional organization in the US, recognized by the AAAS in 1973. In Chile, the "Unidad de Estudios de Parasicología" at Universidad Diego Portales is presented as the sole center investigating paranormal phenomena from a scientific perspective.

Perspectives on the Paranormal

Dr. Mario Videla, a neurosurgeon and former member of the Chilean Society of Parapsychologists, discusses how the research center studies phenomena from multiple perspectives, including quantum physics and environmental influences on perception. Richard Dawkins is cited for his critical stance, attributing paranormal claims to fraud, hallucinations, and errors. Psychologist Andrés Moltedo views most paranormal events as coincidental or random, easily deceiving impressionable individuals, especially those with strong religious beliefs.

Psychologist and engineer María Cecilia Arriagada suggests that new understandings are possible, especially concerning the human mind. The issue concludes by posing the question of whether these phenomena are messages from another realm or simply manifestations of our own minds, leaving the ultimate explanation as a mystery.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of unexplained phenomena, the presentation of alleged evidence (photographs, eyewitness accounts), and the ongoing debate between paranormal belief and scientific skepticism. The magazine seems to present various cases and perspectives without definitively taking a side, encouraging readers to consider the possibilities while acknowledging the potential for fraud and misinterpretation. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into the unexplained, while also grounding discussions in historical context and academic research where available.

This issue of UFOLOGIA, identified by the number 21, delves into a variety of paranormal and extraterrestrial phenomena, spanning historical accounts to more recent alleged events. The cover prominently features the headline "LA URSS INICIA SU PROPIA UFOLOGIA FANTASTICA" (The USSR Launches Its Own Fantastic UFOLOGY) from 1983, hinting at a significant Soviet-era UFO event. The magazine explores ghostly encounters from ancient times, poltergeist activity, and the potential influence of UFOs on modern culture and cinema.

Poltergeist Activity in Latrobe (1913)

The issue begins with an account of a series of unsettling events in Latrobe, USA, during February 1913. The narrative details the experience of Mrs. Relig, who reported plates jumping off her table and phantom hands touching her. Similar phenomena were reported by the Waldeneck family and four other families in the city, all describing disembodied hands caressing their waists and bodies. The strange activity ceased as abruptly as it began, leaving the police and residents with unanswered questions.

Ghosts in Antiquity

This section shifts focus to historical accounts of spectral encounters, drawing from ancient Roman and Greek beliefs. It highlights the Roman superstition surrounding the dead and the rituals performed to appease spirits. The story of Athenodorus and the haunted house in Athens is presented as one of the oldest ghost stories on record. Athenodorus, a philosopher, rented a notoriously haunted house and, through his rational approach and diligent work, confronted and seemingly banished the specter. The text also references other ancient Greek sources, including Homer's Iliad and works by Luciano, detailing apparitions and the concept of 'eidolon' (spirit or phantom).

Ancient Greek Spectral Accounts

Further exploring ancient Greek beliefs, the magazine notes that spectral apparitions were common in Greek literature, appearing in poetry, prose, and on ceramics. The afterlife was often depicted as the Underworld, accessible through caves, or as an island beyond the seas. The soul was often represented as a winged figure, but deceased individuals could also appear as they were in life. The text mentions Richard Buxton's work, which suggests that spirits of those who died violently often returned for revenge or to seek justice from friends or family.

Historical Ghost Stories and Beliefs

The issue continues with more historical anecdotes, including a tale from Pliny the Younger about a poet named Simonides who was warned in a dream by the ghost of a man he had buried not to embark on a sea voyage, thus saving his life from a shipwreck. It also discusses the popular belief in haunted houses and the manifestations of wandering souls and spirits. Plutarch's account of a haunted gymnasium in Athens, where spectral noises and manifestations occurred, is also recounted. The text contrasts the belief in spirits with the skepticism of philosophers like the Stoics and Epicureans, who attributed such phenomena to superstition. It emphasizes that the belief in both a terrestrial and spiritual world has existed since primitive humanity.

The Sosnovka Incident (1983)

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to the alleged extraterrestrial event in Sosnovka, USSR, in the summer of 1983. A news report from that time describes the discovery of a metallic capsule containing a baby with unusual characteristics. The capsule reportedly landed after a series of explosions and a strange purple sky. The baby, later named Kosmic, was transferred to research institutes but died three months later from a generalized infection, lacking the necessary defenses to survive on Earth. The report details the baby's physical anomalies, such as the absence of an umbilical cord and the fact that its eyes never closed, even in death. The text questions whether this event was inspired by the Superman comic and movie, suggesting it might have been a staged event to gauge public reaction or a form of marketing.

UFOs and Cinema: Subliminal Messages

This section examines the connection between UFO phenomena and cinema, particularly in Western productions. It suggests that films like 'Men in Black' might have been conceived years in advance to subtly prepare audiences for encounters with extraterrestrial beings. The article posits that "powerful economic forces" might be using the UFO phenomenon as a marketing tool, influencing public perception, tastes, and even the future through long-term planning in the entertainment industry. The rise of internet addiction and its potential psychological effects are also discussed in relation to societal changes and possible manipulation.

Superman and the Alien Baby

This part elaborates on the 'Superman' comic, created in the 1930s, which features a baby from the planet Krypton arriving on Earth in an oval capsule. The text draws a parallel between this fictional narrative and the Sosnovka incident, questioning if the Soviet event was inspired by the comic. It also includes a 1930s photograph from Alaska, allegedly showing a small, strange being, further fueling the discussion about early UFO sightings and encounters.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the persistence of paranormal phenomena across different eras and cultures, the human fascination with the unknown, and the potential for manipulation through media and marketing. The magazine seems to present these accounts with a degree of open-mindedness, exploring historical and contemporary cases of ghosts, poltergeists, and UFOs. While acknowledging skeptical viewpoints, the overall tone suggests an interest in the unexplained and a critical examination of how such phenomena are reported, interpreted, and potentially exploited.

This issue of CRIMINOLOGIA, identified by the number 31, delves into a variety of historical, cultural, and scientific topics, with a strong focus on crime, archaeology, and environmental research. The cover prominently features the enigmatic criminal Emile Dubois, with articles exploring his case and other historical crimes in Chile.

The Enigmatic Murderer of Valparaíso: Emile Dubois

The lead article focuses on Emile Dubois, a criminal who terrorized Valparaíso, Chile, in the early 20th century. The article details his alleged crimes, including the murders of Ernesto Lafontaine, Reinaldo Tillmanns, Gustavo Titius, and Isidoro Challe. Dubois's capture was a result of a failed robbery attempt in June 1906. His trial and conviction for the murder of Ernesto Lafontaine are discussed, along with his execution on March 27, 1907. The piece highlights Dubois's mysterious personality and the public fascination with his case, which contributed to his legendary status.

The 'Animita' of Romualdito

Another significant section is dedicated to the 'animita' of Romualdito, a popular folk shrine in Santiago, Chile. The article investigates the true identity of Romualdito, revealing him to be Romualdo Ivanni Sambelli, a 41-year-old mechanic of Italian origin murdered on August 8, 1933. The piece debunks various myths surrounding his death, including claims of him being a tuberculosis patient or a victim of a violent assault by vagrants. The investigation by the PDI confirmed he was stabbed in the heart during a robbery. The article also touches upon the historical significance of the wall where the 'animita' is located and the efforts to preserve it as a historical monument.

Antarctic Climate Change Research

The issue features research on climate change in the Antarctic, specifically focusing on the impact on marine ecosystems. Scientists from the Chilean Antarctic Institute discovered that water temperatures in the Antarctic are rising much faster than anticipated, with summer temperatures reaching 3°C, a level projected for 2100 by the IPCC. This rapid warming is causing significant changes in marine organisms, such as sponges, which are crucial indicators of environmental disturbances.

Archaeological Discoveries

Maya Civilization: The use of LiDAR technology has led to the discovery of hundreds of previously unknown structures in the Guatemalan jungle, revealing a vast Maya city with an extensive network of roads, canals, and complex irrigation systems. This discovery highlights the advanced and interconnected nature of the Maya civilization.

Noah's Ark: The article discusses the ongoing search for Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat. It mentions a claim by Chinese and Turkish explorers who found wooden remains dating back over 4,800 years, potentially coinciding with the biblical timeline. However, the scientific community remains skeptical, with many experts questioning the literal interpretation of the Noah's Ark story.

Ancient Tomb: A tomb discovered in China, dating back about a thousand years, features an innovative system of rolling stone balls designed to deter looters, reminiscent of movie adventures.

Cultural Traditions

Day of the Dead in Chile: The issue reflects on the traditions surrounding November 1st, the Day of the Dead, in Chile. It notes a shift away from older customs towards a more commercialized observance, influenced partly by Halloween. The article describes the practice of 'velorios hogareños' (home wakes) and the cultural significance of 'animitas' as roadside shrines commemorating tragic deaths, often attributed with miraculous powers.

Other Sections

Other brief mentions include a radio program hosted by Javier Belmar, and a note on the 'Moai Femenino' (Female Moai) from Easter Island, highlighting its unique representation of feminine features and its discovery and display.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the darker aspects of human history, particularly crime and its investigation, alongside explorations of ancient civilizations and ongoing scientific research. There is a clear interest in uncovering historical truths, debunking myths, and understanding the impact of human actions on both society and the environment. The editorial stance appears to be one of investigative journalism, presenting facts, historical accounts, and scientific findings with a critical yet engaging approach, aiming to inform and provoke thought on complex subjects.

This issue of 'REPORTAJES' (Issue 41, dated March 23, 2018) is a Spanish-language magazine from Chile, published by NOUFA. It covers a diverse range of topics including historical legends, cryptozoology, historical figures, science fiction, and paranormal phenomena.

Lebu Hides the Treasure of Benavides

The first article details the legend of Vicente Benavides, a sergeant who deserted the army during Chile's war of independence. After a life of robbery and plunder, Benavides and his men reportedly hid a significant treasure of gold and silver in a cave near Lebu, in the Biobío region. Benavides was eventually defeated and captured, but the location of his treasure remained a secret, with his death occurring while trying to guard it. The legend persists, with people still searching for the treasure in the caves of Playa Millanenco. The article also touches upon Benavides' capture and brutal execution in Santiago.

Cryptozoology: Goatman * The Goat Man

This section delves into the phenomenon of the 'Goatman,' a mythical creature described as a hybrid of human and goat, with horned features. It discusses sightings reported across the US, particularly in Prince George County, Maryland, where it is linked to a cave near an old bridge. The article highlights a 1962 incident where the Goatman was accused of murdering fourteen people. It explores theories about its origin, including a failed experiment by a Dr. Stephen Fletcher at the Department of Agriculture, who allegedly combined goat and human DNA. The piece also draws parallels with other mythical creatures like fauns and satyrs from ancient Greek and Roman folklore, suggesting a common thread in human mythology.

'Desde Júpiter' - Year 1877: The First Science Fiction Novel in Chile

This article reviews 'Desde Júpiter' (From Jupiter), a novel by Francisco Miralles, first published in 1877. It is recognized as the first Chilean science fiction work and is noted for its early publication date, preceding Julio Verne's 'From the Earth to the Moon' by only 12 years. The synopsis describes the story of Carlos, a man from Santiago who, through hypnosis, travels to Jupiter and discovers an advanced alien society. The novel is said to critique contemporary Chilean society through its depiction of a utopian, technologically advanced civilization. The article mentions that the book has been reissued in 2016.

El Sacapuntas de Julián Lenguaraz

This column, written by Julián Lenguaraz, reflects on the attitude of scientists towards new knowledge. The author criticizes the elevation of scientists to a status similar to priests, suggesting that their pronouncements are often accepted without question. He argues that this scientific authority can lead to the dismissal of personal experiences as mere hallucinations or 'old wives' tales.' Lenguaraz challenges readers to recall their own encounters with the 'unknown.' He expresses admiration for scientific advancements but cautions against relying solely on established knowledge, advocating for exploration into new scientific frontiers. The column includes a quote from Professor J.B.S. Haldane about the strangeness of the universe and a reference to Colin Parsons' book 'Encuentros con lo Desconocido' (Encounters with the Unknown).

Letters to the Director

This section features correspondence from readers. Frank Briceño Cortés from Córdoba, Argentina, inquires about NOUFA's stance on Dr. Gary Nolan's analysis of the 'Ser de la Noria' (Being of the Noria) artifact in Barcelona and why NOUFA has not publicly commented. Raúl Núñez, the editor, responds, acknowledging the complexity and sensitivity of the topic. He explains that they are preparing a thorough response and that the IIEE of Spain is also involved in the research. Núñez praises Cortés for his insightful question and dedication. Gustavo Pizarro Fuentes from Heredia, Costa Rica, requests that NOUFA be sent to his brother in Chicago, which Núñez confirms will be done.

The Other Story: The Cruel and Devout Conqueror, Inés de Suárez (1507-1580)

This extensive article details the life of Inés de Suárez, a prominent figure in the Spanish conquest of Chile. It highlights her role as a founder of Santiago alongside Pedro Valdivia and recounts her controversial act of beheading seven captured indigenous caciques during the siege of Santiago to instill fear in the enemy. The article covers her early life, her marriage to Juan de Málaga, her journey to America, and her subsequent relationship with Pedro de Valdivia, which was scandalous at the time. It describes her participation in battles, her role as a nurse, and her eventual marriage to Rodrigo de Quiroga. The piece also discusses an alternative interpretation by philosopher Gastón Soublette, who suggests Inés de Suárez may have possessed paranormal abilities, possibly related to black magic, which she used during the conquest. Soublette's theory is linked to the naming of Santiago, Chile, after an invocation attributed to Inés de Suárez during a critical battle. The article concludes by reflecting on the difficulty of judging historical actions from a modern perspective and the ongoing debate surrounding her legacy.

NOUFA Nº 57 - SPECIAL UFOLOGY 2nd DELIVERY

This page features a preview of upcoming content from NOUFA, including 'Was Jehovah a Cosmonaut?', 'Contact in Rio de los Ciervos,' 'History of Ufology in Chile,' 'The Matanzas of Jehovah,' 'Kidnapped by a UFO,' and 'Magical Guide to Santiago.'

Ufological Humor and Other

The final page presents two humorous cartoons. The first depicts aliens calculating their position relative to Easter Island, with a caption suggesting they are on the opposite side of the Earth. The second cartoon features aliens discussing human civilization, describing it as a 'madhouse' due to wars, religion, poverty, unnecessary killing of animals, environmental disregard, and a corrupt 'business' system.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
