Online Shoppers Unknowingly Sold Their Immortal Souls (Serious!)

I’m guilty of it.. and likely so are you.  I can often be heard casually offering up my soul for any number of trivial things that could bring me instant gratification.  For example, “I would sell my soul for a cheeseburger right now.”  (I think I just uttered those words last evening.) On April 1st… [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Fear of the Supernatural: The thrill of it all

So I was having a conversation with a Luciferian psychic the other day (best opening to a post EVER!) and he asked me a very pointed question.  “You seem a little more squeamish than I expected.  Why are you so interested in the paranormal when you scare so easily?” Perhaps I should quickly answer your [...]

Psychedelic Drugs: Hallucinations or Hightened Consciousness

This debate is as old as the hills, but let’s explore it anyway.  It’s a fun and fascinating topic, wouldn’t you say?

The King Bird Fifty Mystery

This is a really interesting story.  I heard about it on the radio several months ago, and it has stayed with me as one of the more fascinating tales of missing time and air craft anomolies.  Rather than attempt to re-tell this story in my own words, I’m going to print the full details as [...]

Meet the Demons: Demystifying Demonology

“I am Legion: for we are many.” Likely you’ve heard the term Demonology or Demonologist.  On the popular TV show, “Ghost Hunters” for example,  a resident Demonologist is sometimes called upon  if they feel that a less than benevolent spirit is behind a haunting.  Movies and books often make reference to Demonologists, and they are [...]
