One of the most enduring legends is of a wild hairy creatures that roams the mountain sides and forests world wide. Some call it the Yeti, the Grey man, or most commonly Bigfoot. Outside of footprints, and some marginal evidence, the only evidence is first hand sightings. No remains of Bigfoot, or of any droppings, has yet to pass rigorous scientific testing. So the basic conflict is there, how can you account for the many sightings of the creature spanning hundreds of years, across the globe, and yet outside of the alleged Patterson film no concrete evidence?
Enter F. W. Holiday's basic idea of the 'phantom menagerie' from his book, the Goblin universe. Holiday believes after studies the loch ness monster, and other alleged creatures that they may be more of a paranormal creation. He believes like Jung, that UFO's are not machines from other worlds, but rather paranormal entities. That the loch ness monster, big foot, and men in black could be paranormal things more akin to medieval demons, and could originate in other dimensions..'winking' into our world at will. Of course, this is only a theory and unless there is some strong collaborating evidence to support Holiday, it still remains outside mainstream scientific thought.
some say men in black are actually otherworldly things
Still, perhaps the Bigfoot has more in common with the boogeyman or ghosts then previously thought. Only with more research can the answer be found.
The Loch Ness monster, or 'Nessie' has become a staple of popular culture, and has been the subject of several hi tech searches of the murky waters to capture or spot the monster. Some say Nessie is a hidden dinosaur, and others say it is a hoax with many delusional people seeing the sea monster. The fact remains, outside of folklore, sighting and shaky photo evidence, nothing concrete is there about Nessie. Could there be a more bizarre and other worldly explanation to the existence of the Loch Ness Monster?
Are dragons a myth or something more otherworldly?
Enter paranormal investor, F.W. Holiday, and his book 'The dragon and the disc' which concludes that the stories of the Loch Ness monster point out to a real creature, yet it was also connected the UFO mythos of sea serpents from other worlds...other dimensions.

He supports the idea that nessie may be a paranormal creature that is associated with magic, and points out that notorious magician Aliester Crowley had a house on the shore of Loch Ness, and he was rumored to summon a dragon worm to the Loch which ended in failure for Crowley, and this failure began to mark the decline of the warlock.

Is Nessie lurking in the waters, or is it something connected to the UFO mythos of men in black, aliens, telepathy, and worms from beyond? Only with more research can the answer be found.
In this fictional world of Harry Potter, there is a game along with quiddich called wizard's chess which is training for young wizards to hone their power. What is surprising is that there is actually a modified chess game which allegedly used the game to both instruct and channel the occult. Chess as a game has an unclear origin, but most believe it was a cross breed of european, hebrew, and some Asian games. A favorite of nobility...chess became the game of kings, and has retained a mystical aura from its beginnings to modern times.
The modern magic movement started in the late 1800's with the hemetic order of the golden dawn, and they adopted and modified the enochian magic system of occult astrologer John Dee who was an important part of Queen Elizabeth I.

S.L. Macgregor Mathers, Leader of the Golden Dawn finished the wizard chess rules of Dee into the form where it could played as both divination and as a regular game of strategy. The order was in demand in Ireland at the turn of the century bringing in artistic persons such as the poet Yeats.

Ultimately the order was broken up by Mather's friendship with infamous Aliester Crowley, who evoked such antagonism Yeats and others who found him and his spells repugnant. Ultimately, the enochian chess is still taught and played today, a complex chess variation that may or may not have the power of divination.
Everyone has dabbled with the magic 8 ball at least once. A crystal ball novelty toy with a free floating die in a blue dissolved fluid with 20 possible answers from 'yes' to 'reply hazy'. What is less known is that this novelty toy has roots in automatic writing and spiritualism. Albert C. Carter, son of a medium from Cincinnati, created the prototype for the magic 8 ball or as it was known The Syco-Seer, and was based on his mother's automatic writings devices.
Syco seer variation called the Syco-slate late 40's
Carter approached storekeeper Max Levinson, and together they created the novelty devices for his shop and acquired the patent for the syco seer. Levinson and his brother in law modified the original patent into something Though the original syco seer didn't grab the national attention, the revamped product caught the attention of Chicago's Brunswick Billiards, and in 1950 they commissioned a version in the form of a traditional black and white 8-ball.
Like automatic writing, the magic 8 ball is novelty device that will give an answer to someone's question. They concentrate on the question, shake the ball, and a random answer will foretell the future. The magic eight ball also has some ties to the ancient fortune telling method of tossing coins called, I ching. Now, a part of popular culture, Carter's device has achieved a fame even he could not see with his pocket fortune teller.
President Nixon who believed in psychic Jeane Dixon
In this post 9/11 world, many don't realize that most of the nation's infrastructure to antiterrorism had its origin with President Nixon and the soothsayer, celebrity psychic Jeane Dixon. At that point in her career, Dixon had made several psychic claims that had come to pass (notably the assassination of President Kennedy). Dixon was well known, and was a consultant to several presidents.

In 1949, she predicted Nixon would become president, most scoffed at the idea, but it came to pass that Nixon had indeed become the president of the United States. Some of her predictions did not pan out, but some of them actually came true to her predictions. It was this sometimes positive result, that some in power secretly consulted her. Dixon was a cause of chagrin to the Reagan administration since Nancy Reagan would openly consult Dixon about the travel plans for President Reagan. Some allege the famous nuclear treaty with Russia was signed on a day that Dixon said would work for President Reagan.

Recent information has come out that then president Nixon actually took her vision of a terrorism attack seriously, and from her prediction Nixon established the first nation anti terrorism committee. Nixon had a comfortable relationship with Dixon, and he nicknamed her the soothsayer and would listen to her input on a number of the events of the day.
After the murder of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich olympic games, she had predicted a terrorist attack would happen in the united states, and Nixon over the protests of Henry Kissinger created the first 'counterterrorism committee'. The attack never happened, but the first meetings of how to deal with such an event first happened in the white house under President Nixon.
It a strange fact, that the counter terrorism efforts of the United States would be created in response to a prophetic dream vision of washington seer Jeane Dixon.
When you think of men in black, you automatically think of Will Smith and others fighting alien hordes in a broad comedy. Most reports of the real men in black are anything but comedic or pleasant, and usually involve weird men in black flashing nebulous government ids and driving brand new model cars completely in black to put pressure on any UFO witnesses. There are numerous examples of men in black intimidation, but I'll focus on one incident involving the infamous mothman sightings of point pleasant.

In the mid to late sixities in the sleepy town of point pleasant, sightings of an enormous creature with piercing red eyes were coming in at a frantic rate, the press dubbed the creature 'the mothman'. Quickly adding to the hysteria were the arrival of the mysterious men in black. Mary Hyre, reporter for the nearby The Athens Messenger had done several stories about the mysterious mothman and its connection with old abandoned TNT munitions plant outside of point pleasant.
Soon she reported she was followed by dark automobiles, and was paid a visit by mysterious men in black who pressured her to drop her work with the mothman. Mary refused to be intimitaded by her visitors and they left. Soon after, Mary had passed away of a heart ailment, even though she had no history of heart problems.
Was Mary silenced by the men in black? Mary's close friend, paranormal writer John Keel, hinted that Mary had hit upon some fantastic connection with the mothman, and was silenced by the sinister men in black. Adding fuel to the mystery was complete disappearance of the mothman creature from point pleasant. Just what was the supposed creature is now guesswork of history, and Mary's 'explosive' story was snuffed out just like the woman who perhaps got too close to the truth.
Belief in human's potential to interact with the higher or spiritual realm sometimes focuses upon the concept of the third eye. The idea is someplace in the space on your forehead is a sleeping eye awaiting to open to a newer and deeper reality. Sometimes known as the third chakra in Indian religions, the third eye also has a signifigance to bring a person closer to another plane of existence. There is belief that the third eye can let the person see auras, or give them the ability to read minds.
In some UFO circles, there is conjecture that this third eye is also a connection with other dimensional creatures that may be the 'aliens' of the flying saucers and UFOs. It is true after the first modern sightings of UFO in the 1940's, there was an explosion of 'contact' stories of aliens, usually Nordic looking creatures who would contact people about the connection with aliens. The people with elaborate contact stories were usually to a person, occultists who dabbled in channelling and the idea of the third eye took on a ways and means of contacting the creatures from beyond. The blurring between the UFO and some proto new age thought had already taken root in some parts of popular culture.
It's easy to be amused by these claims, until you realize that the father of the Saturn V and most modern rocket engine designs from combat to science, Wernher Von Braun, always claimed that when they were working on the V-2 rockets for Nazi germany, that the scientists used channeling as a ways and means to gather knowledge from the others from the unknown beyond. With this secret knowledge, designs from the V2 rocket were perfected until the Saturn V would take men to the moon years later.

Perhaps 'the others' helped rocket design plans via the third eye.
