Editorial

The editorial section, written by Darío Alberto Fernández, discusses the history of Phenomena Magazine's YouTube channels. He recounts how he was asked to create a channel for Spanish articles, leading to the creation of "Phenomena Magazine en español." Due to a request to change the name, he closed that channel and later created "Glosario Forteano" as a new platform. He expresses regret over closing the original channel, which was close to 1000 subscribers, while Glosario Forteano currently has only 8 subscribers. He highlights that the magazine is free, has no paid advertising, and thus no money to distribute. However, he hopes to reach 1000 subscribers and 4000 playback hours on the Glosario Forteano channel to share revenue with the collaborators, whom he considers the "salt of this recipe called Phenomena in Spanish."

Article: Chile, Fértil Provincia y Señalada en la Región Antártica Famosa

This article by Rafael Videla Eissmann delves into theories about the origin of humanity and civilization, particularly focusing on Chile and its connection to Antarctica. It references Professor Roberto Rengifo's proposal from 1919 that humanity originated in the Antarctic polar cap, which later dislocated and arrived in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. Eissmann supports Rengifo's idea that civilization developed in America and moved from south to north, challenging the prevailing theory of a north-to-south migration from Asia. The article cites historical maps, including the 1531 map by Orontius Finaeus, which depict Terra Australis, suggesting an early awareness of a southern continent. It also discusses the work of other historians and archaeologists, such as Adolf Bandelier and Carlos Keller, who have explored similar concepts of a southern origin for American civilizations, linking them to figures like Viracocha.

Article: Del Archivo de Héctor Escalante: Dos Casos

This section presents two cases from Héctor Escalante's archive. One detailed case describes a UFO sighting on October 7, 2020, around 7:30 PM, in Baruta, Miranda, Venezuela. Antonio Paz, a witness, reported observing a luminous object of large dimensions that appeared triangular from a distance and emitted flashes of white, yellow, and orange. The object orbited for about 30 minutes before ascending towards the Ávila mountain range and disappearing. Paz noted that during the sighting, he and his partner felt a "discordant energy" that dissipated once the object was no longer visible.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of Phenomena Magazine include UFOs, extraterrestrial life, ancient civilizations, paranormal phenomena, and historical mysteries. The magazine appears to adopt a stance of scientific investigation into the unexplained, encouraging readers to explore alternative theories and historical accounts. The editorial emphasizes transparency and the importance of collaboration, highlighting the value of its contributors and the need for community support through subscriptions to its associated YouTube channel.

This issue of PHENOMENA magazine, dated November 2020, issue #39, presents a diverse range of topics centered around unexplained phenomena, mysteries, and tragic events. The cover story focuses on 'LA ABDUCCIÓN DE PASCAGOULA - LA PELICULA' (The Pascagoula Abduction - The Movie) by Philip Mantle.

UAP Sighting in Venezuela

The magazine opens with an account of a UAP sighting in Venezuela. On the afternoon of October 7th, Martha Mora photographed an object from her residence in the Los Samanes urbanization, Batuta municipality, Miranda state. She was initially curious about a rain shower that seemed to be concentrated in one area. Unbeknownst to her, she captured something unusual among the clouds. The article notes that this is not the first time Martha has encountered strange aerial phenomena, attributing it to her connection with such events and her willingness to be in the right place at the right time. To capture the image, her son, Marco Almao, extended his mobile phone out of an 11th-floor window, avoiding interference from the tinted and barred glass. The object, initially imperceptible, was revealed through graphic editing software to be white and composed of several spheres arranged linearly. It was deemed too small to be an airplane and unlikely to be a drone due to its color and altitude, lacking any illumination. The author, Héctor Escalante, concludes by posing the question of what this artifact was doing camouflaged among the clouds during a localized downpour, leaving the reader to ponder.

The Petscop Mystery and the Candace Newmaker Case

Another significant section, authored by Féliz Ruíz Herrera, delves into the viral phenomenon of the video game 'Petscop' and its unsettling connection to the real-life tragedy of Candace Elizabeth Newmaker. The article begins by discussing how viral news often fades without proper follow-up, a fate that initially befell Petscop, a supposed 1997 PlayStation game. The game gained attention through YouTube videos by a player named Paul, who presented it as a found, unfinished project. Initially, the gameplay appeared simple, featuring an avatar advancing through colorful but incomplete levels. However, after Paul entered a code found with the game, the atmosphere shifted dramatically to a dark and disturbing one, filled with unsettling details and references.

The narrative explores the dual nature of Petscop as both a gameplay experience and a 'Creepypasta' – an internet urban legend involving mysterious deaths and spectral apparitions. The article highlights the complexity of its narrative, which blurs the lines between fiction and reality.

It is revealed that the game is based, in part, on a real case that caused significant shock in the United States twenty years prior: the death of Candace Elizabeth Newmaker following a controversial 'rebirthing' therapy. The article details Candace's early life, her placement in foster care due to her parents' inability to provide adequate care, and the alleged abuse she suffered. She was eventually taken in by Jeane Newmaker, a pediatrician, who initially provided a loving environment. However, Candace's behavior became aggressive, leading Jeane to seek specialized treatment.

The concept of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is explained, a condition characterized by inappropriate social interactions, often stemming from neglect or a highly dysfunctional environment. The article clarifies that RAD is a recognized disorder, distinct from genetic defects, and is rooted in deficient caregiving and inadequate social relationships.

The discussion then shifts to 'attachment therapies,' including the 'rebirthing' therapy that Candace underwent. This therapy, promoted by pseudotherapists Connell Watkins and Julie Ponder in Evergreen, Colorado, involved wrapping the child in a flannel sheet to simulate a womb and forcing them to struggle for 'birth.' The goal was to strengthen the parent-child bond. Candace's session, lasting seventy minutes, proved fatal. She died on April 18, 2000, from asphyxiation. The sessions were recorded, and the evidence was used in the trial of Watkins and Ponder, who were convicted of child abuse and sentenced to prison. Jeane Newmaker pleaded guilty to negligence and abuse charges.

The Petscop game features parallels to this case, including a room with a mirror where a girl mimics the player's actions, and a message that reads, 'Do you remember being born?' This connection is presented as strong evidence linking the game to Candace Newmaker's story.

The Pascagoula Abduction and Film Adaptation

Philip Mantle contributes an article about the Pascagoula abduction incident of October 11, 1973, involving Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker. The event, which occurred in Pascagoula, Mississippi, led to interviews with the witnesses by the local Sheriff and later by researchers like Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Dr. James Harder. Hickson frequently spoke about the incident on television and at UFO conventions, while Parker initially avoided publicity, later publishing books about his experience.

Mantle discusses his involvement as an editor for Calvin Parker's books and his contact with a US film producer interested in making a movie about the abduction. He mentions that the script, developed over several drafts and approved by Parker, describes the phenomenon of alien abduction not just as an encounter but also as an event that profoundly affects those involved and their families. Mantle expresses his personal belief that the script is first-class, though he cannot reveal too many details due to confidentiality. He notes that the film production process was slowed by the COVID-19 pandemic but is expected to move forward.

The article includes images of Calvin Parker and the covers of his books, 'Pascagoula – The Closest Encounter' and 'Pascagoula – The Story Continues.' It also features a section on Philip Mantle himself, describing him as a long-time investigator and author from the UK, formerly Director of Investigations for the British UFO Research Association and MUFON Representative for England, and founder of FLYING DISK PRESS.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Phenomena magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, mysterious events, and the darker aspects of human experience, including child abuse and controversial therapeutic practices. The magazine appears to maintain an objective yet investigative stance, presenting detailed accounts of events and their potential connections, while also acknowledging the tragic human elements involved. The editorial focus seems to be on bringing attention to cases that have garnered public interest or have significant implications, such as the Pascagoula incident and the Petscop mystery, and highlighting the importance of rigorous investigation and ethical considerations in both paranormal research and therapeutic practices.

This issue of PHENOMENA, dated November 2020 and identified as issue #39, features a cover story on the 'SAGA CODEX MAGDALA JOHN WOLF'. The magazine explores a variety of topics including historical novels, extraterrestrial robots, and the practice of Voodoo.

Codex Magdala

The magazine promotes the 'Codex Magdala' trilogy by John Wolf, describing it as a series of historical novels that draw comparisons to 'The Da Vinci Code'. It is noted that the series is based on over two hundred historical documents, facts, and locations, and has gained international attention.

Robots Extraterrestres: La Avanzada Alienigena

This article, written by Darío Fernández and originally published in the French magazine 'OVNIs', discusses the concept of extraterrestrial robots or androids. It posits that these beings have been part of UFO sightings since antiquity. The article touches upon Leonardo Da Vinci's historical inventions, including a humanoid robot and a mechanical lion, suggesting that Da Vinci might have received 'help from another world' for his inspirations. The author speculates about the future of space exploration, suggesting that advanced robots could be used for missions to planets like Mars, performing tasks such as sample collection and investigation, thereby reducing risks to human astronauts. The article then presents several historical and contemporary accounts of alleged encounters with alien beings described as robot-like or resembling the 'Michelin Man'.

Historical Examples of Robot-like Encounters

• Pascagoula Abduction (1973): Two workers in Pascagoula, Mississippi, reported seeing a strange craft from which three extraterrestrials emerged. One witness, Hickson, described the beings as having wrinkled skin, no eyes, and elephant-like feet, and later suggested they might have been robots.
• Argentinian Encounter (1978): In Venado Tuerto, Santa Fe, Argentina, a 12-year-old boy named Juan Oscar Pérez encountered a metallic, 'cabin-like' vehicle that hovered and was surrounded by an unusual fog. A tall, robot-like being with tube-like limbs emerged and invited him aboard, where he saw another, shorter robot working on an animal.
• Philadelphia Sighting (circa 2010): A woman in Philadelphia reported being embraced by a being that looked like the 'Michelin Man'.
• Bolton Sighting (1926): In Bolton, Lancashire, England, a child encountered three beings dressed as the 'Michelin Man'.
• Spanish Encounter (1960): Miguel Ceballos Timermans, while driving his motorcycle in rural Spain, encountered two beings resembling the 'Michelin Man', described as tall, red, and moving stiffly like robots.
• Isla Reunion Encounter: A farmer on Isla Reunion witnessed a hovering, oblong object from which two beings emerged, one dressed as the 'Michelin Man'.

The article concludes that these 'Michelin Men' exhibit erratic, robotic movements, suggesting they are indeed robots.

Vudú Desde Dentro

This article, written by John Wolf, delves into the practice of Voodoo, particularly in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The author describes his personal decision to investigate Voodoo, acknowledging the risks involved.

Voodoo in the Dominican Republic and Haiti

The author highlights the high rates of illiteracy and poverty in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, noting that Haiti is the poorest country in Latin America. This environment, he argues, fosters the spread of religious beliefs like Voodoo, which he classifies as a mysterious, quasi-secret, and dangerous religion.

He explains that Voodoo, or 'voodoo', originated in West Africa (Togo and Benin) and evolved in the Caribbean from the 17th century onwards. It is a syncretic religion blending Christian beliefs, African spiritualism (teísmo and animismo), and indigenous Taíno traditions. Teísmo is the belief in a creator God, while animism is the belief in the magical power of everyday objects and natural elements, all possessing life and consciousness. Voodoo also incorporates the belief that spirits can possess objects, imbuing them with intelligence and power.

The practice of Voodoo spread to the Caribbean and New Orleans through enslaved Africans from Haiti starting in the 18th century.

Political Use of Voodoo in Haiti

The article details how Voodoo has been used as a tool of control in Haiti, most notably by dictator François Duvalier, known as Papa Doc. Duvalier presented himself as a Hougan (voodoo priest) or Gran Bokor (Great Sorcerer) and used voodoo rituals to maintain power, ordering assassinations of political opponents. He deliberately emulated the image of Baron Samedi, a voodoo deity of death, wearing sunglasses and a top hat, and speaking with a nasal tone. Duvalier even claimed to have cursed John F. Kennedy, increasing his influence and the fear of his magical powers among Haitians.

Duvalier created a militia called the Tontons-Macoutes, volunteers who extorted and committed crimes, leading the population to believe they were zombies under his command. His son, Jean-Claude Duvalier (Baby Doc), succeeded him but was overthrown in 1986 and fled to France. Baby Doc died in 2014, with some Haitian bokors claiming they killed him through witchcraft.

Voodoo in the Dominican Republic

The author recounts his experience investigating Voodoo in the Dominican Republic. He describes visiting markets where amulets and ritual items are sold, but found many practitioners to be unconvincing, selling simple items like straw dolls with needles. He expresses disappointment with the commercialization of Voodoo rituals.

El Clan del Padrino

The article then focuses on an investigation into 'El Clan del Padrino' (The Godfather's Clan) in Batey 33, a community near La Romana, Dominican Republic, primarily populated by Haitians working in sugarcane fields. Despite warnings about the clan's voodoo practices, the author, equipped with recording devices and cameras, decided to investigate. He was granted access to the clan, where he met 'El Padrino', a man described as being in his thirties, overweight, with long hair, acrylic nails, and adorned with jewelry. The author notes the presence of other clan members and their worn clothing. 'El Padrino' admitted that human sacrifices were performed within Voodoo and that the clan considered Voodoo to be satanic.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of the paranormal, historical mysteries, and cultural phenomena. The articles suggest a belief in the existence of unexplained phenomena, such as UFOs and alien beings, and delve into the darker, more mysterious aspects of human culture and belief systems, like Voodoo. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting witness accounts and historical research, while also acknowledging the potential for exploitation and danger within these realms. The use of historical figures like Leonardo Da Vinci and political figures like Papa Doc serves to contextualize these phenomena within broader historical and societal narratives.

This issue of Phenomena magazine, dated November 2020, delves into the realms of parapsychology, ufology, and the intersection of consciousness with quantum physics. The cover story features Dr. Dean Radin, a prominent researcher in extrasensory phenomena, and his work on the connection between psi and quantum theory. The magazine also includes a disturbing investigative report on Haitian Voodoo, exposing its darker practices.

Dr. Dean Radin: Extrasensory Investigation and Quantum Theory

The main article focuses on Dr. Dean Radin, Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and a Distinguished Professor at the California Institute for Integral Studies. Radin's research explores extrasensory phenomena, including psi, and their relationship with quantum reality. The article details his academic background, including his work at AT&T Bell Labs, Princeton University, and SRI International, where he was involved in the classified StarGate psychic espionage project.

Radin is the author of over 300 scientific articles and several books, including "The Conscious Universe" and "Entangled Minds." His academic work has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, and he has presented at prestigious institutions worldwide. He discusses his career path, which began with an intuitive sense that the mind is more mysterious than commonly believed.

The article highlights Radin's research into various psi phenomena, such as dream psi, Ganzfeld experiments, remote viewing, and random number generation (RNG). He explains that while the effects of psi phenomena are often small, statistical analysis of numerous studies reveals significant probabilities against chance. For instance, studies on RNG have shown probabilities as high as 35 billion to 1 against random chance.

Radin also touches upon the quantum mystery of the two-slit experiment, suggesting that conscious observation, or in his experiments, meditators, can influence the outcome, causing the wave function to collapse. He calls this a 'psychophysical interaction.'

Despite skepticism, Radin asserts that there is substantial evidence for genuine psychic abilities, challenging the prevailing scientific worldview. He notes that while many people claim to have psychic abilities, few are consistently reliable, and some claims are fraudulent. He also points out that his work has been supported by Nobel laureates and recognized at major international scientific conferences.

Haitian Voodoo: A Dark Investigation

Another significant section of the magazine provides an in-depth, first-person account of an undercover investigation into Haitian Voodoo practices. The author, who infiltrated these circles, describes disturbing rituals involving the desecration of graves for human remains, such as bone powder used in rituals. He recounts being shown real human skulls and bones and a voodoo doll ritual prepared for a Spanish client.

The investigation takes a darker turn when the author meets a Haitian voodoo priest known as Maestro Poteau, accompanied by two officials from the Spanish Embassy. The report details confessions of human sacrifices, including the elderly or terminally ill selling their lives for money to support their families. In some cases, young women or adults with many dependents would sell their unborn babies for a higher price.

The author expresses his shock and horror at the reality he encountered, which surpassed his fictional expectations. He notes the extreme poverty and corruption in Haiti, exacerbated by the 2010 earthquake, as contributing factors to such desperate practices.

The article contrasts this with the situation in the Dominican Republic, which, while less impoverished, also suffers from corruption and high illiteracy rates, with voodoo practitioners and evangelical pastors living lavishly while their followers struggle.

Other Content

The magazine also features advertisements for related books and programs, including "Vudú: desde dentro" by John Wolf, an investigation into voodoo clans in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It also promotes the radio program "Invicta Historia" hosted by John Wolf, featuring interviews with international guests on historical and paranormal topics.

A separate section highlights "Alpha Your Urology Magazine," an international ufology magazine, and its content, including articles on the Dyatlov Pass incident and UFO material collection.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores phenomena that lie outside mainstream scientific understanding, including parapsychology, ufology, and alternative spiritual practices. The editorial stance appears to be open to investigating and presenting evidence for these topics, even when they are controversial or challenge conventional scientific paradigms. The publication encourages critical thinking while acknowledging the potential for genuine paranormal experiences and phenomena, as exemplified by the detailed coverage of Dr. Dean Radin's research and the investigative report on Voodoo.

This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated November 2020, features a cover story titled "CONTACTADOS, ¿REALIDAD O FANTASÍA?" by Martha Rosenthal. The magazine explores the concept of contact with superior intelligences, UFO sightings, and paranormal events.

Contact with Superior Intelligences

The article by Martha Rosenthal posits that the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth is not new, with numerous historical and sacred texts referencing beings arriving from the sky, referred to as gods or beings in fiery chariots. Investigator Guillermo D. Giménez is cited as stating that archaeological artifacts document the presence of brilliant objects in the skies of pharaonic Egypt. The article references the Papiro de Tulli as evidence, describing translated texts that speak of beings shining in the sky. Rosenthal also mentions W. Raymond Drake's assertion that humanity has never been alone and has been guided by celestial beings.

The magazine outlines five types of contact with superior intelligences:

1. Dream Contact (Onírico): Often perceived as a dream, it can be a precursor to other types of contact.
2. UFO Sightings: Direct observation of an unidentified flying object (OVNI).
3. Physical Trace Evidence: When an OVNI descends and leaves physical evidence, such as crop circles (agrogramas).
4. Telepathic Communication: Sending and receiving thoughts across vast distances, with messages expressed through various forms like writing, art, or speech.
5. Physical Contact: This can be voluntary or involuntary (abduction). Historically, these beings may have worked with humans for genetic improvement, though this is stated to no longer occur. Currently, some research organizations collaborate with celestial beings to improve life on Earth, a fact kept highly secret.

Rosenthal clarifies that telepathic contact with superior intelligences differs from mediumship, which involves communication with disembodied entities from the fourth dimension.

UFO Sightings Reports

Case 1: Ocypel, Poland (August 2009)

An anonymous witness reported an observation of an Unidentified Flying Object (OVNI) in the woods near Ocypel. The event is classified as a CE-1 (Close Encounter of the First Kind) by Josef Allen Hynek's classification, meaning the OVNI was observed from a distance of no more than 200 meters without affecting the environment or humans. The report details:

• Date and Time: August 2009, nighttime.
• Location: Forest in Ocypel, Pomerania, Poland.
• Apparent Size: Half the size of a full moon.
• Appearance: Cigar-shaped with intermittent lights of various colors (possibly red and green) flashing around its orbit. No windows were visible.
• Sound: Emitted a noise.
• Duration: 3-4 seconds.
• Distance: Approximately 100-200 meters.
• Emotions: Initial surprise followed by fear, causing the witness to leave the location.

The witness's girlfriend also saw the object, which was described as flying from right to left. The witness initially thought he was the only one who saw it.

Case 2: Peterborough, England (December 2017)

Angela (name changed) reported an observation of a large triangular object in Peterborough. The report includes:

• Date and Time: December 2017, between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM.
• Location: Peterborough, England.
• Direction: Moving from west to east.
• Apparent Size: Enormous, compared to several full moons.
• Appearance: Triangular with slightly rounded angles. It was clearly visible in a cloudless sky, appearing transparent, allowing stars to be seen through it, yet also seemed covered by a delicate mist.
• Surface Features: No windows were visible, as if masked.
• Light Emission: Did not emit light.
• Sound: Moved silently.
• Disappearance: The object simply disappeared behind buildings.
• Duration: Approximately 5 minutes.
• Distance: Estimated to be flying low, possibly at cloud height.

The witness described the sky as clear, but then noticed a slight, unnatural mist. She initially thought it was a disguised alien craft, noting the perfect triangular shape was unlike natural fog. She watched in admiration until it vanished.

Whaley House: Tragedy and Wandering Spirits

The article by Oniria Misterio details the history of the Whaley House in San Diego, California, known for its historical significance and alleged paranormal activity. Built in the 1850s, the property served multiple functions, including a local granary, courthouse, theater, and businesses. It was constructed on the site of the city's former gallows, where several people were executed.

Significant events, such as the seizure of judicial documents in 1871 and the suicide of Violet Whaley in 1885, deeply affected Thomas and Anna Whaley, the original owners. These events, along with the prior hangings on the property, have contributed to the house's mysterious reputation.

The Whaley family's history was marked by violence. After moving into the house, sadness and despair took hold. Their son, Thomas, died at 18. Later, the house experienced an "incendio" (fire) that destroyed the Whaley's business. Two daughters married within the house. Violet, the younger daughter, divorced and, overwhelmed by depression, committed suicide in 1885.

The Whaley House is considered one of the most haunted houses in the United States and has been featured in television programs and publications.

Reported Ghosts and Phenomena:

• "Yankee Jim" Robinson: The oldest documented ghost, James Robinson, was convicted of grand larceny in 1852 and hanged on the property. He is described as having swung back and forth on the gallows until he died.
• Thomas Whaley: Many visitors report encountering Thomas Whaley, often seen on the upper landing, described as wearing a frock coat and trousers.
• Anna Whaley: Reported sightings of Anna Whaley are usually on the ground floor or in the garden.
• Unidentified Woman: Visitors have reported seeing a small woman with a dark complexion, wearing a long, full skirt, in the courtroom.
• Child Spirit: A girl, described as having long hair, is often encountered in the dining room. Psychic Sybil Leek reportedly encountered this spirit in the 1960s.
• Animal Apparitions: A parapsychologist reported seeing a spotted fox terrier running down the hall towards the dining room, vanishing into a wall.
• Annabel or Carrie Washburn: Legend tells of a ghost of a playmate of the Whaley children who supposedly broke her neck accidentally on a backyard clothesline. However, there are no historical records of a child dying this way or a family named Washburn residing there.
