Mother Nature Cries A River of Tears

If this doesn’t melt your cold heart, nothing will. In Norway, on the Austfonna ice cap, located on Nordaustlandet in the Svalbard archipelago, the ice is melting.  Rising sea levels due to early ice melt are causing great concern to scientists around the globe. Marine photographer and environmental lecturer Michael Nolan captured the stunning picture [...]

Extraordinary Saturday Videos: Reptilians

Goodness gracious, me oh my oh golly gee!   Is it SATURDAY already?? Whoopsiedoodles!  Thursday came and went without so much as a reminder that I had some videos to post!  So it looks like we’re going to have some Saturday videos instead.  And luckily, my mad Photoshoppin’ skillz enabled me to cleverly adjust my normal [...]

Extraordinary Thursday Videos: Skinwalker Ranch

Raise your hand if you saw the dreadfully disappointing movie Skinwalkers. I was so pumped to see the movie because I’ve been an avid follower of the mystery of Skinwalker Ranch, located in northeastern Utah. At this ranch, strange sightings and happenings have been reported for over 50 years.  Sadly, the movie sucked the big [...]

Extraordinary Thursday Videos: Classic Fantasy Trailers

For this week’s installment of Thursday vids, I’m doing something a little different.  Rather than education and information, today I’m just going to self indulgently share a few trailers from some of my favorite movies ever!  Not surprisingly, most of them are fantasy movies, and they’re some of the greats.  Plus, I love watching old [...]

Renegade Angels: “Legion” Red Band Trailer

I’m not in the movie reviewing or previewing business.  I leave that to the experts.  But every so often a film comes along that looks like it might appeal to my readers, and Legion appears to be one of those movies. According to the official web site: When God loses Faith in Mankind, He sends [...]

Extraordinary Thursday Videos: In Search Of…

I’ve always been strange.  It didn’t just happen over night.  When I was a little girl, I didn’t really like to play with dolls, I wasn’t much into dress-up or make-up.  While other children rushed home from school to watch cartoons, I cruised home as quickly as my short little legs would take me, so [...]

New Ghostbusters Trailer (sort of…)

“Do you believe in UFOs, astral projections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, telekinetic movement, full trance mediums, the Loch Ness monster and the theory of Atlantis?” The words of Janine from Ghostbusters could easily be the tag line for Extraordinary Intelligence! Well, it’s not exactly a new trailer, per se. John Doe of JDMFilmReviews.com [...]

Leaked Rorschach Blots Cause Controversy

Most everyone knows a little bit about the Rorschach Test.  A series of inkblots is shown to a patient who must then interpret what the obscure blot of ink on paper looks like to them.  There are no right answers, but patients are evaluated on their perception of the images. Recently, an uproar has arisen [...]

Extraordinary Thursday Video Post: Anton LaVey and Church of Satan

Natalina doesn’t shy away from controversy!  This topic has been requested by a number of readers, and in my opinion is very interesting.  The late Anton LaVey, High Priest of The Church of Satan as well as the author of The Satanic Bible, is a fascinating character in Occult culture and pop culture.  And the [...]

Extraordinary Thursday Videos: 2012 Doomsday

Does the Mayan Calendar predict the end of the world??? Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of years, you’ve heard about the 2012 prophesy.  Many cultures and religious traditions seem to be in agreement that something… earth changing is on the horizon, and 2012 seems to be ground zero for [...]

Enough about that, though.  The theme for this week is SCARY! Every video I selected here is frightening.  Some are supposedly ghosts caught on film, poltergeists, demons…whatever they [...]

Extraordinary Thursday Videos: Occultism and Magic

This week’s selection of videos will feature a subject of immense fascination for me.  The word OCCULT means different things to different people.  For some, it just means evil.  For others, occultism is a study of magic, ancient wisdom, arcane symbolism, and supernatural possibilities. Please remember that just because I post a video here, it [...]
