Extraordinary Intelligence 200th Post

Almost exactly one year ago, I embarked upon a little project named Extraordinary Intelligence.  It was to be a web site dedicated to my favorite subject matter, The Unexplained and The Unknown.  I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best… not knowing whether or not the site would be successful, but vowing to dedicate myself to nurturing its growth.

Today, I am writing the 200th post on ExtraordinaryIntelligence.com, and I don’t feel a day over 199! I remember the thrill of my 100 post milestone, {more. . .)

Girly Pink Ouija Board Causes Controversy

Hasbro games, the makers of the infamous Ouija Board “board game”, have introduced a new version of the classic conjuring “toy”, targeted directly at young girls.

Now, while some may consider this to be a harmless sleepover game, others find the trend in “normalizing” the Ouija Board quite disturbing.  And there has been quite an uproar regarding this latest addition to the Ouija line.  Many people feel that the board is a dangerous tool, and if used casually, can open gates or portals that would allow {more. . .)

Coast to Coast Am host George Noory on Nightline

 

Everyone’s favorite late night radio host, George Noory, host of Coast to Coast Am, was recently featured on ABC network’s Nightline.

For those who don’t know, Coast to Coast Am is a 4 hour talk radio program that broadcasts 7 nights a week to a world wide audience.   The subject matter on the show ranges from Paranormal encounters, to Government Conspiracies, to Earth changes… anything that involves the “unknown”.  I have been listening to C2C for years, and find the information presented to be both {more. . .)

Spaceship shaped object captured by Hubble

I’ve always embraced my own inner geek… but every once in a while I get a self inflicted reminder as to the precise level of nerd-girl-ishness that I’ve acquired.  Case in point. I’d heard on the radio about an object that was recently photographed by the Hubble Telescope.  Apparently, it resembled some kind of spacecraft.  Of course, I had to run home and Google it.

When I found an article about this object, I scrolled through all of the words and went straight for the picture. {more. . .)

Alex Jones Interrupts Peaceful Pro-Gun Rally

On Monday, January 25, a rally was held in Austin, Texas by Texans for Accountable Governments APD.  Designed to be a peaceful protest in favor of the 2nd Amendment and against the Austin police force’s cooperation with the attempt to illegally shut down private gun sales at guns shows in Austin, the rally featured a small group of gathered protesters, predetermined speakers, and some media coverage.

Enter radio show host/alternative media activist Alex Jones.

Poltergeist star Zelda Rubinstein crosses over to the “Other Side”

“Cross over, children. All are welcome. All welcome, go into the light…there is peace and serenity in the light.” ~ Zelda Rubinstein as Tangina Barrons in Poltergeist

Actress Zelda Rubinstein, best known for her unforgettable role as psychic Tangina Barrons in the 1982 film Poltergeist, has passed away at the age of 76.  Her agent, Eric Stevens, told reporters that Rubinstein died Wednesday at a Los Angeles hospital. He confirms that she had recently suffered a heart attack.

Rats, Racks, and Rippers: Torture Devices of the Middle Ages

Torture is a word we hear a lot lately.  How do we define it? Who deserves it? Where is the line drawn?

I personally do not advocate any type of cruelty during interrogation or punishment… not only because it is primitive but also because it is generally ineffective.   That said, today’s oft mentioned “water-boarding” is NOTHING compared to what the accused endured during medieval times.  Here are just a few of the nasty nasties that will hopefully remain as a dark stain on humanity’s uncivilized past… {more. . .)

Paranormal Romance: A reader shares his experience

Some months back, I wrote an article about sexual encounters with spirits. I’ve received lots of mail from readers on the topic, and it seems that these scenarios are actually more common than one might think.  To read the original post, click the following link:

One of the more interesting stories I’ve received came from a reader who calls himself Sergeant.  He was gracious enough to allow me to post his tale here.  Please read on as Sergeant shares his experience.

Extraordinary Top Story

The bizarre reality of Men Who Stare at Goats

A couple of years ago, I read the book “Men Who Stare at Goats” by Jon Ronson, and was simply riveted from cover to cover. The story of a British journalist who set out to uncover some of the U.S. military’s most covert and oddball activities made for a real page turner.

When I saw that Hollywood was going to make a movie out of the book, chock full of big time {more. . .)

Extraordinary Videos: First Family of Satanism

For today’s installment of Extraordinary Videos, I’m posting an interview that took place between Evangelical Preacher/Exorcist/Charismatic Televangelist Pastor Bob Larson and the children of Anton Lavey.

As you likely know, Anton Szandor LaVey was the American founder and High Priest of the Church of Satan. He was also a writer, a musician, and a provocateur.

Two of his kids, Zeena LaVey and Nikolas Schreck, agreed to appear with Pastor Larson and engage in a discussion about Satanism. This interview/debate is rather old, but I found it quite {more. . .)

Extraordinary Videos: The Brandon Corey Story

The Brandon Corey Story is a strange “documentary” that was released by Truthseeker.tv.  Although those involved in its production have all come forward to reveal that it is actually a “recreation” of real events, and not real footage, debate still rages online as to whether or not the film you are about to see is real.  How very Blair Witchy of them.

Now, I got appx. 3 minutes into this movie and began to wonder how anyone could believe it to be authentic. That said, I did {more. . .)

Hopi Elders’ Prophecy

In the coming days I’ll be posting much more extensively regarding an area of intense fascination and great reverence for me; the peoples of the Hopi Nation. They were and are a mystical people with much to teach us. Before I complete that post however, I wanted to let the following words stand on their own. It is a message from the Hopi Elders…Oraibi, Arizona Hopi Nation.

Sky Turns Red in Sydney, Australia

No joke. Folks in Syndey, Australia awoke this morning to a deep red haze that blanketed the city.

Residents flooded social networking sites and talk radio to determine the cause of the reddened sky and to marvel at this incredible sight.

10 Swine Flu Lies Told by the Mainstream Media

By now I think most of us fall into one of two categories regarding H1N1 Swine Flu…

1. Doom Doom Dooooom! Scared out of our ever livin’ minds… the end is nigh!

2. Yawn.

Well, truthfully most of us probably fall somewhere in the middle. We’re nervous but skeptical enough to have grown weary of the constant coverage. But, what do we really know about his illness that seems to be spreading like wildfire across the globe? And how much of what we know is accurate?

Mystery Fungus Attacks Bats

I love bats. They’re my second favorite animal. My first love is for cats. Sadly, I am not fond of rats. But it would have made a nice trifecta if I did, yes?

Bats have always been a source of wonder and inspiration for me. They’re just…beautiful and magical creatures. There are a few precious bats that hang out in the entry to my building. They flitter around in the lamp light, and I just love to watch them.

This lovely bat picture was captured by me {more. . .)

Today’s video post features a documentary that is presented by George Knapp (Investigative Journalist/Frequent host of Coast to Coast Am) and Above Top Secret. The doc is called The Fourth Kind — Alien Abduction Stories. The full documentary can be found at the bottom of this post.

By now you’ve likely heard about the upcoming feature film that also goes by the title The Fourth Kind, and explores alien abduction. This title references the commonly used scale of UFO/Alien encounters.

London Natural History Museum Secures Rights to the Loch Ness Monster

I love this. Telegraph.co.uk is reporting that the Natural History Museum in London has a deal with bookmakers William Hill that if the Loch Ness Monster is ever captured, they will get the right to display the carcass/evidence.

The deal, brokered in 1987, specifies that the NHM will be able to display Nessie’s remains in exchange for scientific verification of her existence.

Word of this strange bargain came to light with the release of once private documents in the museum’s archives. It shows that part of the {more. . .)

Sad little tree

Recently I posted a picture taken in Norway in which a melting glacier exposed a very human looking face that appeared to be weeping vast rivers of tears into the sea. This post became very popular, and still gets hundreds of views every day. MOTHER NATURE CRIES A RIVER OF TEARS
