Project MK-ULTRA, or MKULTRA, was the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence.  The project was an official undertaking by the U.S. Government, and began tests in the 1950s.  Citizens of both the United States and Canada were subjected to these horrific tests.

Officially, these tests ended in the 1960s, although many people claim that this covert warfare on the human mind continues to this day.  Government documentation is limited. In 1973, {more. . .)

This classic 1977 documentary, Overlords of the UFO,  is a must see for all paranormal and UFO enthusiasts.  It is a low budget doc that has become a bit of a cult legend.  It is cheesy and corny… some of the evidence presented is wonky (to put it politely) but it is wildly entertaining.  Includes an interview with Travis Walton (real person whose experiences inspired the film Fire in the Sky).  Check it out and relive the schlocky, silly, sensational {more. . .)

This incredible documentary tells the story of Cameron.  Ever since he was able to speak, he’s been telling stories of his life on Barra.  Barra is a remote island in the Outer Hebrides, some 220 miles from his current home in Glasgow, Scotland.

Cameron is able to detail all aspects of his life on the Island…his family there, his dog, his white house, etc. The remarkable part is that Cameron is only 5 years old.  His memories are not at all related to {more. . .)

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 graphic, so that the casual observer would have no idea whatsoever that we normally do this on another day.  Bow down to meeeeee!

Since it is Slitherin’ {more. . .)

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 one.

The real legend of the place is far more intriguing than the silly movie.  According to the Utes, a local Native American tribe,  an entity called the Skinwalker {more. . .)

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 movie trailers.  Enjoy! (Btw, I’m sure I’m forgetting some here..perhaps I’ll have to do a second post at some point.)

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 that I could plop down and tune in to my absolute favorite show, In Search Of…, narrated by Leonard Nimoy.

In Search Of… was a {more. . .)

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 word “character” is apt when describing him.

The man was a master of propaganda, and his product was not Satanism.  It was Anton LaVey.  Mixed {more. . .)

This stuff just blows my mind.  Have you ever heard of the Toronto Blessing?  Well, in 1994, the Toronto Airport Vineyard Christian Fellowship (now known as the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship)  held a revival where a strange phenomena occurred.  The pastor and the congregation began to act as though they were drunk, and it was considered a blessing and a miracle. This type of charismatic evangelical experience became well known in fundamentalist circles, and reports of healings, transformations, and conversions have taken place {more. . .)

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 this transformation.

Some say that the world is going to end in December of the year 2012.  Others say it will be a {more. . .)

Tonight’s video post was inspired by my most recent post titled Meet the Demons: Demystifying Demonology.  I received a number of emails regarding that entry that spanned from praise for laying out such detail to accusations that I was attempting to conjure demons into people’s homes.  It is a hot button topic that inspired such a mixed reaction, that I decided to post this Nightline debate from March 2009 which asks the question, {more. . .)

This week’s Thursday videos are actually more like the Extraordinary Thursday Videos: Friday Morning Edition.

Hopefully by next week things will be back on track for me.

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 are, they are freaky!  You can decide on your own if these sightings are genuine, but there is no question that this stuff may keep you {more. . .)

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 does not necessarily reflect my beliefs.  I am merely presenting a nice cross section of information and ideas for you to sink in and soak up.  {more. . .)

After my recent post about Bohemian Grove (my tongue in cheek photoshop experiment with a Sesame Street character, to be precise) I’ve been asked to expand upon Bohemian Grove, and clubs like it.   You can see my silly little post about “Bohemian Grover” here:  Fun with Photoshop in Bohemian Grove

So, for today’s Extraordinary Thursday Videos, we’ll explore Secret Societies.  Including Bohemian Grove, The {more. . .)

Fair warning to anyone who is easily disturbed.  The following videos contain footage of allegedly real exorcisms.  Are they really people possessed by evil spirits, or simply psychologically disturbed individuals? Please, if you are squeamish do not watch the footage below.
