In the News

Paranormal Round Table

An upcoming event, a "Paranormal Round Table," is announced for April 18, 2015, from 9 am to 8 pm at the Alburtis Area Community Center in Alburtis, PA.

Underground of PA: Dixonville Mine Disaster

This section details a report from 1944 by mine inspector Glenn E. Berger concerning the Dixonville mine disaster. Berger claimed the incident, which killed 15 men, was not a natural cave-in but an attack by underground creatures capable of manipulating the earth. Survivors reportedly showed signs of large claw marks, and one survivor spoke of seeing a vicious humanoid creature. The creature allegedly created a cave-in to block inspectors, but a rescue party eventually dug through, scaring it away. The source is cited as an article by Stoney Brakefield in NEWS EXTRA, July 14, 1974.

Pennsylvania Legends: Antes Creek & Fort

This section recounts two historical legends from Pennsylvania. The first concerns the purchase of land in September 1700 from Andaste Tribal Chief King Wi-daagh by William Penn's agents. Wi-daagh is said to have felt swindled and his spirit now roams the Nippenose Valley in protest. The second legend involves Colonel Henry Antes, who allegedly gave local Native Americans blankets that had covered smallpox victims, a tactic that decimated the population. This act of biological warfare is said to have led to revenge, and homes in Ante's Fort are reportedly haunted by the spirits of the dead Indians.

The text emphasizes that "ENDING UFO CENSORSHIP WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING // SEEK THE TRUTH" and lists various domains of influence: RELIGION | SCIENCE | POLITICS | LAW | MEDIA | GOVERNMENT | ACADEMIA | THE MILITARY | WORLD CULTURE. The statement "WE, THE PEOPLE, HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD" is featured.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the investigation of unexplained phenomena, including UFOs, cryptids (like Bigfoot and Dogman), and paranormal events. There is a strong emphasis on the need for public reporting and the collection of evidence, with a commitment to confidentiality. The editorial stance is clearly one of challenging perceived "truth embargoes" and "UFO censorship," advocating for transparency and the pursuit of truth across various societal domains. The organization positions itself as a dedicated research entity, independent and self-funded, aiming to uncover and disseminate information about unexplained events.
