Haunting in Big Bear Lake a true story.
My daughter 3 months ago was in a crash at the same intersection under the same cirscumstances as our first car crash 7 yrs ago.The situation is always the same: person runs the stop sign to only suddenly stop in front of us so we end up hitting them at almost 70 mph.Now last night my other daughter was driving home and she watched this happen to another set of people.Thank God she was had not left minutes earlier.I have a more detailed page on FB with Photos,interviews,and current posts.The page to look up is Haunting in Big Bear Lake a true story by Jodi Polos.
THE BELL WITCH
This is the only known oilpainting of John Bell |
In
the early 1800s, John Bell moved his family from North Carolina to the Red River
bottomland in Robertson County, Tennessee, settling in a community that later
became known as Adams. Bell purchased some land and a large home for his family.
The Bells quickly made many friends and gained prominence in the community. John
Bell acquired additional land and cleared a number of fields over the next
several years.
One day in
1817, John Bell was inspecting his corn field when he encountered a
strange-looking animal sitting in the middle of a corn row. Shocked by the
appearance of this animal, which had the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit,
Bell shot several times to no avail. The animal vanished. Bell thought nothing
more about the incident--at least not until after dinner. That evening, the
Bells began hearing "beating" sounds on the outside walls of their house.
The Bell house 1909 |
These
mysterious sounds continued with increased force each night. Bell and his sons
often hurried outside to catch the culprit but always returned empty-handed. The
noises were soon followed by more problems. The Bell children began waking up
frightened and complaining of sounds like rats gnawing at their bedposts. It
wasn't long until the children began complaining of more terrifying
things--having their bed covers pulled and their pillows were tossed onto the
floor by a seemingly invisible force.
Johnston
and his wife spent the night at the Bell home, where they were subjected to the
same terrifying disturbances that the Bells experienced. After having his
bedcovers repeatedly removed, and being slapped, Johnston sprang out of bed,
asking, "I ask you in the name of the Lord God, who are you and what do you
want?" There was no response of any type, but the remainder of the night was
peaceful.
As
word of the Bell disturbances spread throughout the community, so did the
entity's antics. Over time, its voice strengthened to the point it was loud and
understandable. It sang hymns, quoted scripture, carried on intelligent
conversation, and once quoted, word-for-word, two sermons that took place at the
same time thirteen miles apart. During this time no one knew who or what the
entity was, or its purpose for tormenting the Red River Settlement.
Word eventually spread outside the settlement, even as far as Nashville, where one Andrew Jackson became interested. John Bell, Jr. and Jesse Bell fought under General Andrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans, and had developed a good rapport with him. In 1819, Jackson got word of the disturbances at the Bell home and decided to pay a personal visit. Jackson and his entourage, consisting of several men and a large wagon, journeyed from Nashville to the Bell home. As the entourage approached the Bell property, the wagon suddenly stopped. The horses tried pulling but to no avail--the wagon simply would not move.
USA President Andrew Jackson
After several minutes of cursing and trying to get the wagon to move, Jackson exclaimed that it must have been the "witch." As soon as Jackson uttered these words, an unidentified female voice spoke, telling Jackson and his men that they could proceed, and that "she& would see them again later that evening. The men were finally allowed to continue.
Andrew Jacson entourage
Jackson and
John Bell had a long discussion about the Indians and other topics while
Jackson's men patiently waited to see if the "spirit" was going to manifest
itself. One of the men in Jackson's entourage claimed to be a "witch tamer."
After several uneventful hours, this man decided to "call" the "spirit." He
pulled out a shiny pistol and made his intent to kill the "spirit" known to all
that were present.

Almost
immediately, the man began screaming and moving his body in many different
directions. He said he was being stuck with pins and being severely beaten. The
man quickly ran out the door, and the "spirit" announced that there was yet one
more "fraud" in Jackson's party, and that he would be identified on the
following evening.
The
encounters decreased after that heartbreaking Easter Monday, although the
"Spirit" continued to express its dislike for "Ol' Jack Bell," and relentlessly
vowed to kill him. As Bell's health grew worse, the "Spirit" would torture him
more severely, sometimes removing his shoes from his feet and relentlessly
slapping his face while he was experiencing seizures.
On
the morning of December 20, 1820, after a long battle with a crippling nervous
system disorder, John Bell breathed his last breath. Immediately after Bell's
death, the family found a small vial of unidentified liquid that Bell had
partaken of the evening before his death. John Bell, Jr. gave some of the liquid
to the family's cat, and the cat died almost instantly. The "Spirit" suddenly
spoke up exclaiming, "I gave Ol' Jack a big dose of that last night, and that
fixed him." John, Jr. quickly threw the vial into the fireplace, where it shot
up the chimney in the form of a bright, blue flame. As family and friends began
to leave John Bell's burial site, the "Spirit" laughed loudly and sang a
cheerful song about a bottle of brandy.
In
April of 1821, the "Spirit" visited Lucy Bell and told her that "it" would
return in seven years for a visit. Seven years later, in 1828, the "Spirit"
returned as promised. Most of this visit centered around John Bell, Jr. The
"Spirit" discussed with him such things as the origin of life, Christianity, the
need for a mass spiritual reawakening, and other in-depth topics. Of particular
significance were the "Spirit's" predictions of the Civil War, World War I, the
Great Depression, and World War II.
The cause
of the Bells' torment nearly 200 years ago and today's unexplained
manifestations has remained a mystery. Numerous versions and theories that
purportedly explain the cause of the disturbances abound, and vary from person
to person. The only constant is that there was "something" wrong on the Bell
farm in the early 1800s, and there is still "something" wrong at the old Bell
farm today, nearly 200 years later. It happened to the John Bell family in 1817.
Maybe next time it will happen to your family.
THE SUICIDE FLORET- AOKIGAHARA
Mount Fuji - Japan |
Aokigahara is woodland at the
base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Also called the Sea of Trees; Aokigahara Forest is known for two things in
Japan: breath-taking views of Mount Fuji and suicides a destination for the
desperate is a place where the suicidal disappear, often never to be found in
the dense forest.
The forest has a historic association with demons in
Japanese mythology and is a popular place for suicides; 54 completed the act in
2010, despite numerous signs, in Japanese and English, urging people to
reconsider their actions.

BOOK COVER |
Signs emblazoned with messages such as "Please reconsider" and "Please consult the police before you decide to die!" are nailed to trees throughout the forest. However, the woods have such a reputation that these minor deterrents do little to stop the determined. Local residents say they can always tell who is going into the forest for its stunning natural beauty, who is hunting after the macabre and who is planning never to return.
A short tale:
Fortunately Taro survived to tell history but most people are never found again!
MOON - SPACESHIP & ALIEN BASE
Now I know that this post will raised everybody eyebrows …
here it goes the moon (Yes the moon the very same one you see it every night
high up in the sky) Its’ not an artificial satellite in fact the moon is an
alien base!
Here are some very weird facts about our moon!
1. Moon’s Age: The moon is far older than previously expected.
Maybe even older than the Earth or the Sun. The oldest age for the Earth is
estimated to be 4.6 billion years old; moon rocks were dated at 5.3 billion
years old, and the dust upon which they were resting was at least another
billion years older.
Note: All the pictures on this post are from NASA.
2. Rock’s Origin: The chemical composition of the dust upon which the rocks sat differed remarkably from the rocks themselves, contrary to accepted theories that the dust resulted from weathering and breakup of the rocks themselves. The rocks had to have come from somewhere else.
5. Seismic Activity: Hundreds of "moonquakes" are
recorded each year that cannot be attributed to meteor strikes. In November,
1958, Soviet astronomer Nikolay A. Kozyrev of the Crimean Astrophysical
Observatory photographed a gaseous eruption of the moon near the crater
Alphonsus. He also detected a reddish glow that lasted for about an hour. In
1963, astronomers at the Lowell Observatory also saw reddish glows on the
crests of ridges in the Aristarchus region. These observations have proved to
be precisely identical and periodical, repeating themselves as the moon moves
closer to the Earth. These are probably not natural phenomena.
7. Moon Mascons: Mascons, which are large, dense, circular
masses lying twenty to forty miles beneath the centres of the moon’s Maria, are
broad, disk-shaped objects that could be possibly some kind of artificial
construction. For huge circular disks are not likely to be beneath each huge Maria,
centred like bull’s-eyes in the middle of each, by coincidence or
accident."
11. Unusual Metals: The moon’s crust is much harder than presumed. Remember the extreme difficulty the astronauts encountered when they tried to drill into the maria? Surprise! The maria is composed primarily illeminite, a mineral containing large amounts of titanium, the same metal used to fabricate the hulls of deep-diving submarines and the skin of the SR-71 "Blackbird". Uranium 236 and neptunium 237 (elements not found in nature on Earth) were discovered in lunar rocks, as were rustproof iron particles.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY FOUR (MAKE THAT FIVE) THEORIES OF THE
ORIGIN OF THE MOON:
1) The Moon originated at the same time as the Earth, being formed substantially from the same material, aggregating and solidifying in orbit.
2) The Moon was formed not in the
vicinity of the Earth, but in a different part of the solar system (or galaxy),
and was later captured by the Earth.
3) The Moon was originally a portion of the
terrestrial crust and was torn out, after the formation of the Earth, leaving
behind the bed of the Pacific Ocean.
4) The Moon is an artificial satellite,
which was brought into the vicinity of Earth by extra-terrestrials in order to
carry out some unknown agenda.
Here are some very weird facts about our moon!

2. Rock’s Origin: The chemical composition of the dust upon which the rocks sat differed remarkably from the rocks themselves, contrary to accepted theories that the dust resulted from weathering and breakup of the rocks themselves. The rocks had to have come from somewhere else.
ONE OF MANY FAMOUS MOON FACES |
3. Weird Orbit: Our
moon is the only moon in the solar system that has a stationary, near-perfect
circular orbit. Stranger still, the moon’s centre of mass is about 6000 feet closer
to the Earth than its geometric centre (which should cause wobbling), but the
moon’s bulge is on the far side of the moon, away from the Earth.
"Something" had to put the moon in orbit with its precise altitude,
course, and speed.

4. Moon Diameter:
How does one explain the "coincidence" that the moon is just the
right distance, coupled with just the right diameter, to completely cover the
sun during an eclipse? Again, Isaac Asimov responds,
"There is
no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun should fit so well. It is the
sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed
in this fashion."
MOON STRUCTURES ... |
ALIEN STRUCTER |
6. Hollow Moon: The moon’s mean density is 3.34 gm/cm3 (3.34
times an equal volume of water) whereas the Earth’s is 5.5. What does this
mean? In 1962, NASA scientist Dr. Gordon MacDonald stated:
"If the astronomical data are reduced, it is found that
the data require that the interior of the moon is more like a hollow than a
homogeneous sphere."
Nobel chemist Dr. Harold Urey suggested the moon’s reduced
density is because of large areas inside the moon where is "simply a
cavity."
MIT’s Dr. Sean C. Solomon wrote,
"the Lunar Orbiteer experiments vastly improved our
knowledge of the moon’s gravitational field... indicating the frightening
possibility that the moon might be hollow."
In Carl Sagan’s treatise, Intelligent Life in the Universe,
the famous astronomer stated, "A natural satellite cannot be a hollow
object."
MOON MASCON |
8. Magnetic Rocks: Moon rocks were magnetized. This is
odd because there is no magnetic field on the moon itself. This could not have
originated from a "close call" with Earth—such an encounter would
have ripped the moon apart.
9. No Volcanoes: Some of
the moon’s craters originated internally, yet there is no indication that the
moon was ever hot enough to produce volcanic eruptions.
10. Heavier Elements on Surface: Normal
planetary composition results in heavier elements in the core and lighter
materials at the surface; not so with the moon. According to Wilson:
"The abundance of refractory elements like titanium in the surface
areas is so pronounced that several geologists proposed the refractory
compounds were brought to the moon’s surface in great quantity in some unknown
way. They don’t know how, but that it was done cannot be questioned."
11. Unusual Metals: The moon’s crust is much harder than presumed. Remember the extreme difficulty the astronauts encountered when they tried to drill into the maria? Surprise! The maria is composed primarily illeminite, a mineral containing large amounts of titanium, the same metal used to fabricate the hulls of deep-diving submarines and the skin of the SR-71 "Blackbird". Uranium 236 and neptunium 237 (elements not found in nature on Earth) were discovered in lunar rocks, as were rustproof iron particles.
1) The Moon originated at the same time as the Earth, being formed substantially from the same material, aggregating and solidifying in orbit.
THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY
The curse of the mummy began when many terrible events occurred after the discovery of King Tut's tomb. Legend has it that anyone who dared to open the tomb would suffer the wrath of the mummy. Because mummies have been associated with many magical powers throughout history, some of the mummies found from Egypt were ground into a fine powder and sold as mystical mummy powder. It's believed the powder had magical healing powers and it wasn't until the discovery of King Tut and the hype of the media that things would change forever.
The hype began when Lord Carnarvon, the person who funded the dig of King Tut’s Tomb, died shortly after the discovery. The path to his death began in the spring of 1923 when he was bitten on the cheek by a mosquito. During his morning shaving routines, he further aggravated the mosquito bite. It soon became infected and Lord Carnarvon found himself ill. He suffered a high fever and chills. A doctor was sent to examine him but medical attention arrived too late and Lord Carnarvon died. At that exact moment the lights in Cairo mysteriously went out.
Once Carnarvon died the media went wild with stories of his death. They claimed King Tut wanted vengeance and announced a mummy's curse, which targeted those who had entered the tomb.
TUTANKHAMON'S CURSE
When Lord Carnarvon died on 5 April 1923, seven weeks after the official opening of pharaoh Tutankhamon's burial chamber, rumours were rife about a curse. News of Tutankhamon's tomb and its discoverers had sent the world's media into a frenzy and the death of Lord Carnarvon added another twist for eager journalists.
LORD CARNARVON |
TUTAKHAMON TOMB ENTRANCE |
However, no inscribed curse was found.
One inscription, found on the Anubis shrine (a jackal on a pedestal shown here) in the tomb's so-called Treasury, did say:
"It is I who hinder the sand from choking the secret chamber. I am for the protection of the deceased."
ANUBIS SHINE FOUND AT THE TOMB |
Reporting of the curse was further fuelled by more deaths, many with very stretched associations to Tutankhamon. Five months after Carnarvon died, his younger brother died suddenly.
Closer to the tomb, another "casualty" was the pet canary of the tomb's discoverer, Howard Carter. The bird was swallowed by a cobra on the day the tomb was opened. This was interpreted as retribution for violation of the tomb, particularly as a cobra was depicted on the brow of the pharaoh from where it would spit fire at the king's enemies.
THE TOMB |
According to one list, of the 26 individuals present at the official opening of the tomb, six had died within a decade. In reality, many of the key individuals associated with the discovery and work on the tomb lived to a ripe old age.

TUTAKHAMON |
LORD CARNARVON
Carnarvon had been in poor health for over 20 years
following a motoring accident in Germany. Less than two weeks after the
official opening of the burial chamber, Carnarvon received a mosquito bite
which became infected after he cut it while shaving. Carnarvon fell ill and,
with his resistance lowered, came down with pneumonia and eventually passed
away at the age of 57.
H HOWARD
CARTER
As discoverer of the tomb, Carter
should have been Number 1 on the curse's "hit list", but he survived
until March 1939, just short of his 65th birthday and nearly 17 years after
entering the tomb - about a decade of which was spent working in the tomb
itself.
He died of lymphoma, a type of cancer, in Kensington,
London, on 2 March 1939 at the age of 64
LADY EVELYN
HERBERT
Lady Evelyn, Lord Carnarvon's daughter and one of the first
into the tomb, died in 1980 at the age of about 79.
HARRY BURTON
Burton was the photographer loaned to Carter by New York's
Metropolitan Museum of Art to document the work done in Tutankhamun's tomb.
Many of the magnificent black & white photographs of the time were taken by
Burton who died in 1940.
ALAN GARDINER
Gardiner studied the tomb's inscriptions and was still very
active working on Egyptian grammar for many decades until his death in 1963.
Dr D. E. Derry
Derry carried out the original autopsy on Tutankhamon's mummy. If anyone should have been cursed along with Carter, it probably should have been Derry, but he didn't die until 1969.
