Fulcanelli is a name that keeps popping up in my research but just who was this enigmatic person?

Fulcanelli was an enigmatic figure in the early 20th century, known for his work in alchemy and esotericism. His true identity remains a mystery, with various theories suggesting he could have been a member of the French occultist circles or even a physicist. He adopted the name Fulcanelli, which is believed to be a combination of Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, and El, a name for God, symbolizing the sacred fire of transformation.

Fulcanelli's fame largely comes from his reputed success in alchemical transmutation, the process of turning base metals into gold. He is said to have performed this feat twice, once in 1922 and again in 1937, in front of witnesses. These events, if true, would have demonstrated a mastery over matter that alchemists have sought for centuries. Despite these claims, no concrete evidence has been provided to confirm the transmutations.

Apart from his alchemical pursuits, Fulcanelli is also known for his written works, particularly "Le Mystère des Cathédrales" (The Mystery of the Cathedrals) and "Les Demeures Philosophales" (Dwellings of the Philosopher). These books, published posthumously, delve into the symbolic and hermetic significance of Gothic architecture and were left with his student, Eugène Canseliet, after Fulcanelli's disappearance in 1926. His writings continue to intrigue and inspire those interested in alchemy and the esoteric.

Victor Penny was a New Zealand inventor who claimed to have discovered a ray that could destroy enemies and planes in the 1930s. He said he was attacked by foreign agents who wanted his secret weapon. The government secretly shifted him to Somes Island in Wellington harbour to develop the weapon. The island was a former quarantine site and a prison for suspected aliens during World War One. Penny was given a laboratory, a radio transmitter, and a generator to work on his project. He was also provided with sleeping quarters, surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by soldiers. His wife Kathleen was later allowed to join him, but had separate lodgings.

Penny said he needed more time and equipment to complete his invention, but the government grew impatient and suspicious. They sent a team of experts to examine his work, but they found nothing but a pile of wires and tubes. They concluded that Penny was a fraud and a hoaxer, and that his death ray was a myth. They dismissed him from the island and sent him back to Auckland. He was ridiculed by the public and the press, and his reputation was ruined. He died in 1970 without revealing anything about his experiments.

Mel's Hole is a mysterious "bottomless pit" near Ellensburg, Washington that was first revealed on the radio show coast to Coast AM with the late Art Bell by a man named Mel Waters. He claimed that the hole had supernatural powers, such as bringing dead animals back to life and affecting the weather. He also said that the government seized his land and forced him to move to Australia because of the hole. Sounds crazy, right?

Well, you might be surprised to learn that there are many people who believe in Mel's Hole and have tried to find it. Some even say that it's a portal to another dimension or a secret alien base. But is there any truth to this urban legend? Or is it just a hoax based on an old mine shaft?

The answer is not so clear. There is no evidence that Mel Waters ever existed or owned property in the area. There is also no geological possibility of a hole that deep and wide. However, there are some eyewitnesses who claim to have seen the hole and experienced its strange effects.

The Battle of Los Angeles.

On February 24th and 25th, 1942, just a few months after the Pearl Harbor attack, the city of LA was plunged into darkness and panic as anti-aircraft guns fired at an unknown object in the sky. Some witnesses claimed to see a large, round, metallic craft surrounded by searchlights and shrapnel. Others saw nothing but smoke and flashes. The object was never hit or identified, and no enemy planes were reported in the area. The next day, the newspapers published a sensational photo of the incident, which became one of the most iconic images of UFO lore.

But what was it really? Was it a Japanese balloon bomb, a weather balloon, a blimp, or a secret military test? Or was it something more mysterious and extraterrestrial? The official explanation was that it was a false alarm caused by war nerves and faulty radar. But many people were not satisfied with this answer and suspected a cover-up. The incident was later investigated by Project Blue Book, the U.S. Air Force’s program to study UFOs, but it remained one of the 701 unexplained cases.

The Battle of Los Angeles has inspired many books, documentaries, movies, and artworks over the years. It is considered one of the most important and intriguing UFO cases ever recorded. It also raises many questions about the nature of reality, perception, and secrecy.

AOTEAROA APE MAN-
With folklore tales and sightings through to the modern day of bipedal hair covered ape like humanoids, from the Sasquatch of the continental US, Yowie of Australia, Almasty of the Caucuses and the Orang Pendek of Indonesia to name a few, It comes as no surprise that little old New Zealand has its own tales of the Hairy man.

The Maero or Mohoao are an iwi-atua or supernatural people from New Zealand. They are sometimes described as giants or wild men of the woods, and inhabit mountains and forest, particularly in the South Island and Tararua Range. Maero are characterised as wild, malevolent and often violent, carrying stone clubs as weapons. They are covered in dark body hair and have long, bony fingers with sharp fingernails. They kill and eat humans and other animals.

The Maero are said to harbour anger towards the Māori, who arrived from Hawaiki, and are thought to have displaced them and ruined the tapu (sacredness) of their homes, forcing them to dwell in inhospitable alpine regions.

In a story told by Tuao, chief of Upper Whanganui, Tukoio, a mortal man, once found a maero, a mohoao (wild man), and attacked it, cutting off its arms, legs and head. He brought the head back, but it was still alive and called for help. Tukoio did not want to fight a whole clan of maero, so he dropped it and came back later with reinforcements, only to find the maero had put itself back together and returned to the forest.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be taken by aliens? Well, Travis Walton claims he knows the answer. He says he was abducted by extraterrestrials on November 5, 1975, while working as a logger in Arizona. He was missing for five days and six hours, during which he says he was experimented on by strange beings on a spacecraft. His story is one of the most famous and controversial alien abduction cases in history, and it was even made into a movie called Fire in the Sky.

But what really happened to Travis Walton? Was he really abducted by aliens, or was it all a hoax? Some skeptics think he and his co-workers made up the story to avoid a penalty for not finishing their logging contract on time. Others think he was hallucinating or suffering from a psychological trauma. But Travis and his co-workers have always maintained their story, and they passed polygraph tests to prove their honesty.

Travis says he has changed his mind about his experience over the years. He now thinks that the aliens were not trying to harm him, but rather to save him from the damage caused by the bright light he saw before he was taken. He says he was not really an alien abduction, but more like an ambulance call He also says he wants to help people understand that this is real, and that we are not alone in the universe.

What do you think of Travis Walton’s story? Do you believe him, or do you think there is another explanation?

Have you ever heard of the Mothman? It's a mysterious creature that has been reported to haunt the skies of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, since the 1960s. Some say it's a bird, some say it's a man, some say it's something else entirely. But one thing is certain: it has terrified many people who have encountered it.

The first sighting of the Mothman was on November 15, 1966, when two couples saw a large white-winged creature with glowing red eyes standing near an old munitions plant. They claimed that the creature chased their car at high speed and made a screeching sound.

Since then, many more sightings have been reported in the area, especially near the Silver Bridge, which connects Point Pleasant to Ohio. Some witnesses described the Mothman as a slender, muscular man with white wings and hypnotic eyes. Others said it was a huge bird with red circles around its eyes.

Some people believe that the Mothman is a harbinger of doom, as it was seen before the collapse of the Silver Bridge on December 15, 1967, which killed 46 people. Others think that it is an escaped experiment from the nearby TNT area, which was used for storing explosives during World War II.

Whatever the truth may be, the Mothman remains one of the most intriguing and frightening legends of West Virginia. If you ever visit Point Pleasant, you can see a statue of the Mothman in the town center, and learn more about its history at the Mothman Museum.

What if I told you that the Vatican has a secret time machine that can show you any event from the past or the future? Sounds unbelievable, right? But that's exactly what some people claim about the Chronovisor, a mysterious device that was allegedly invented by a group of scientists and priests in the 1950s.

The Chronovisor was said to be a machine that could capture the sound and light waves of any historical moment and display them on a screen. It was like a television that could tune into any channel of time. The inventors of the Chronovisor included Enrico Fermi, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and Wernher von Braun, a former N**i rocket scientist who later worked for NASA.

The most controversial claim about the Chronovisor is that it was used to witness the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and to obtain a photographic image of his face. This image was published in an Italian magazine in 1972, along with an interview with Father Pellegrino Ernetti, one of the creators of the Chronovisor. Ernetti said that he and his colleagues also saw other events from the Bible, as well as ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt.

The truth about the Chronovisor may never be known, but it remains one of the most fascinating and mysterious legends of our time. What do you think? Would you like to see the past or the future with your own eyes? Or would you rather leave some things to your imagination? Let me know in the comments below!

They said they shot at them for hours, but the bullets had no effect. The police and the military investigated, but found no evidence of the invaders, only bullet holes and terrified witnesses.

Let me know in the comments below. And don't forget to follow me for more spooky stories and paranormal facts.
