New Mexico L.O.W.F.I

We made a couple of night stops at the old cemetery.  Really, I didn’t get any ghostly feeling there.  It was a very calm place, like everyone was at peace.

On the other hand…

This house really caught my attention.  It seemed to be abandoned and when I checked with locals that was the case.  Apparently whoever had been living there just disappeared and they have no idea what happened to that person or if the house will eventually be put up for sale.  The house was only two buildings down from our hotel.  One night we sat on the porch there (there are chairs and a table out) at 2 am.  This was before I asked about the house and Britton thought that someone must live there because he could feel someone watching us from inside, I had the same feeling.  It was a very spooky place, but not really in a bad way.  I felt no danger sitting there.  The photo I took also had lots of orbs in it.  You can see the full sized pic here.

That is Soda Dam, which is just esoteric looking, whether or not there are any spirits hanging around.

MAX THE ANCIENT CRYSTAL SKULL is considered by many to be one of the rarest artifacts ever found. Estimated to be at least 10,000 years old, MAX was found in a tomb in Guatemala in the 1920’s and used by Mayan priests for healing and prayer. The skull was then given to Norbu Chen, a powerful healer of the Tibetan sect of Red Hat Lamas, who brought Max to the US. Max the crystal skull is known internationally. He has been presented in several documentaries and television shows worldwide, including the SciFi channel’s “Indiana Jones and the Ultimate Quest” and on the History Channel’s “Mysteries of the Crystal Skulls”. He has also been featured in the news, many newspaper articles, books, and videos worldwide.

Max, along with other ancient crystal skulls, remains a mystery with regard to its origin. Many who have been in the presence of these crystal skulls feel that they are from other dimensional realms and perhaps were used by ancient civilizations (including Atlantis and Lemuria) to sustain contact between Star Beings and the human race. Others who have touched the skulls have had a range of experiences including receiving instantaneous healing, information, visions of other worlds and the experience of unusual sounds and expanded intuitive abilities. To this day, MAX is used as a tool for awakening consciousness and accelerating healing and growth on all levels.

Why isn’t this “manifesto” being released to the public?  The police and/or DA don’t need it, Reza killed himself, nobody to prosecute.  Totally out of curiosity, but I would like to be able to read it.

For related story and link see post below or click here.

Search warrants released Friday afternoon also shed light on gunman Reza’s mental state before police say he went on a deadly rampage at Emcore Monday.

According to the search warrants, Reza’s own nephew told police Reza sounded “crazy.”

Erik Placencia told police his uncle “talked about Emcore planting chips in him and that employees could talk to him and hear his thoughts.”  The nephew also reportedly told officers Reza refused to get help saying he was not crazy, and the technology was making him do the things he was doing.

Reza was a former Emcore employee.

According to the search warrants, Reza also reportedly told his nephew people at work were “watching females in the bathroom,” and “he was fired from Emcore to keep him from ‘taking them down.’”

Description:

My brother and I were out looking around our parts for some supposed parnormals in Albuquerque. As we were headed home to the east of us we saw an extremely bright light coming towards us meaing it was traveling west for at the most 10 seconds then it disappeared. about 5 seconds later it reappeared so far east of us again and instantly disappeared. We wanted to retrace our steps and see if that happened again as were headed west it reappeared so far in the east to where i believe was as far as gallup. it would appear bright then dim then have ovals around it and so many different appearances. I still have the chills. What was this. It was so short we never even thought or got the chance to get pictures.

Thanks to Iggy, I have finally realized the full and very useful concept of pages.  It means I can list events well in advanced and have them always in the sidebar on the main NM LOWFI page where they are easy to find!

So in the top of the sidebar (and below the banner) you will find Robert Hastings fine articles (hopefully with some new articles soon), along with a section just for events.  I will be updating that not only with conferences, but also meetings of the Albuquerque/Rio Rancho UFO and Paranormal forum, the Los Lunas Dowser meetings and ASPE events — pretty much anything fortean related that is going on.  Aside from NM events, you will probably in the future also find events happening in Colorado.  Since there is no official Colorado LOWFI page yet and I kind of consider Colorado my second home I will post events happening there too — Colorado is as close to Albuquerque as the southern portion of NM, so why not?  I may also start posting a few CO news items in the blog as well.

Tomorrow (sat, 5/22) from 12:30 to 2:30.  You can find out more in the events section of sidebar.

I will likely not be at the meeting because that time is quite early for me, but I will try to meet up with everyone at Applebees following the meeting.

Here’s the strange experience I had while visiting the Kelly ghost town this past Monday: Forty minutes had passed. I assumed I was on borrowed time when it came to being completely isolated at the mine’s headframe structure and gaping mouth. With the morning growing late, inevitably, some other tourist/hiker would arrive, destroying the serenity and interrupting the flow of my ongoing EVP and photo sessions. While Kelly is at least three or four miles from the nearest house, and is neatly tucked into the mountainside, it does draw an occasional visitor or two over the course of a few hours.

However, thanks to the elevation and utter silence around the entire location, whether at the mine, cemetery or in “town,” you’re always alerted when someone has arrived. Up to that point, I hadn’t heard a single vehicle driving around or voices of any kind that would indicate I had company down below. But feeling a combination of luck and greed to have had the mine all to myself for so long, I decided to start back towards the old abandoned foundations in town.
