The Anomaly Archives Presents: Fortean Cryptozoologist Jonathan Downes

Saturday, March 20th 1:30-3:30pm CST

12593 Research Blvd., Suite 302, Austin, Texas 78759

“Cryptozoology’s answer to Hunter Thompson” – Nick Redfern

[Jon Downes at Loch Ness in 2005]

The Anomaly Archives welcomes British Fortean researcher Jon Downes to Austin, Texas for a lecture on all things anomalous, Fortean, cryptozoological and UFOlogical. Please join us at the Anomaly Archives lending library (located at 12593 Research Blvd., Suite 302) from 1 to 5pm, Saturday, March 20th for an enlightening lecture from one of the world’s leading cryptozoological field investigators.

This lecture event is FREE, however, a $5 donation is respectfully requested for those wishing to help support the Anomaly Archives in its non-profit community education, outreach and research efforts.

Jonathan Downes is the Director of the British-based Center for Fortean Zoology, the world’s only full-time group dedicated to the investigation of unknown animals, including Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Ogopogo, and the Abominable Snowman.

In both 1998 and 2004, Jon traveled to the island of Puerto Rico in search of the deadly, blood-sucking creature known as the Chupacabras – a beast that has been linked with a large amount of UFO activity, including UFO crashes, on the island.

Jon will be speaking about his two expeditions, findings, theories and conclusions as to what the creature may be. Jon will also reveal the very latest news on his quest to find out the truth concerning the so-called Texas Chupacabras.

Are the beasts of Puerto Rico and Texas one and the same? Or, is something even stranger going on? Don’t miss this rare chance to see Jon Downes expose the truth of this strange and sensational mystery.

Jonathan Downes is the author and co-author of numerous books on the subjects of Fortean phenomena, especially cryptozoological critters such as Owlman, the Monster of the Mere and others. Besides his research, writing and activism, Jon Downes is also an accomplished film maker having worked on over 7 films. He also produces a regular online video series for the Centre for Fortean Zoology called On The Track (Of Unknown Animals).

Anomaly Archives Presents Fortean Cryptozoologist Jonathan Downes.

Join us at the First Anomaly Archives Meetup of 2010 this Saturday at the Austin History Center from 3-4pm.(See end of email for venue details)

Sponsoring this meetup and venue is the local Austin Mufon chapter headed by Anomaly Archives board member Mike DeGroff.

The monthly Austin Mufon meeting is 1-4pm the first Saturday of most months.

As this is our first official “MeetUp” we’ll be answering questions about the organization, its mission, projects and goals, etc.

We may watch a video or two, talk about books we’re reading, and generally talking about a wide variety of anomalous subjects.

We’ll also be giving away a couple of books to some lucky attendees. Kind of like a door prize. Details at the meeting.

Also, after the meeting, if there’s enough interest, perhaps we can retire to some comfortable outdoor eatery for “conversations over saucers” with coffee, tea, beer, etc.

Finally, we’re pleased to announce that the Anomaly Archives will be hosting British Fortean Cryptozoologist Jonathan Downes the afternoon of Saturday, March 20th. Details to follow shortly.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you all at the Austin History Center this Saturday.

Discovery Channel’s GhostLab Investigator Brothers, Barry and Brad Klinge.

Fans of paranormal investigations and ghost hunting reality tv shows set your itineraries for Beaumont, Texas’ Civic Center. On March 13th the Texas Society of Paranormal Investigators (TSPI) is hosting the Texas Ghost Show which is set to feature authors, researchers and reality tv personalities including:

• Brad Klinge of “Ghost Lab”
• Brian Harnois of “Ghost Hunter” and Ghost Hunters International
• Cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard
• Father Andrew Calder from “Paranormal State” 
• Ericka Boussarhane, the “Oprah of the Paranormal”
• Dash Beardsley, the “Ghost Man of Galveston”
• Author Dr. Rita Louise
• Emcees Brian and Anna Marie

Penny LeLeux of TheRecordLive.com did a brief but interesting Question & Answer session with Ghost Lab investigator Brad Klinge in which she asked some interesting questions like “What effect has reality TV had on your investigations” and “What’s the most unusual or startling piece of evidence you’ve recorded to date“:

 Brad: Everything is startling in its own way.  Obviously, the Gettysburg soldiers were the most vivid.  We have caught photographs of solid human forms as if someone was in the room with you such as what we call “The French Guy” at the Institute of Texan Cultures in SA or “the bartender” at the Harlequin Theater in SA.  We have clear, vaporous shadow forms of children moving in and out of a bedroom at the Myrtles.  We caught a chair moving on video.  We caught a shadow person on thermal that allowed us to study the temperature phenomenon associated with paranormal activity.  Our library is quite extensive.

Details: Tickets are only $20. The doors open at 8 a.m. Presenters speak from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m.  The Beaumont Civic Center is located at 701 Main St., Beaumont. A special room rate of $79 is available at the MCM Elegante’ with code TXSPI. For more information call Don Dennis at (409) 553-4456 or go to txparanormal.com

Name:	LECTURE: Creative and Precognitive Dreams	Location	First Unitarian Universalist Church, $12 members/$15 non-members
Presenter	Meredith Mitchell	Semester	FALL
Start Date	2009-12-04 7:30pm	End Date	2009-12-04 9:30pm
Description:
Did you know that perhaps the most popular song of all time, “Yesterday,” came to Paul McCartney in a dream? Dreams often function as mediators between the unconscious — where unfathomable mysteries seem to cook and coagulate — and consciousness. If we pay attention to the messages in dreams, we may give birth to unexpected and exciting ideas. Dreams can bring valuable insights as well. Sometimes, dreams seem to access the future, as in Abraham Lincoln’s dream of his death just before he was assassinated.We shall discuss both actual and legendary dreams that have given rise to significant changes, both personal and social. We shall also discuss verified dreams that have been precognitive or prophetic. How about you? Have you had any creative or precognitive dreams that you would like to discuss? Meredith Mitchell, PhD received his doctorate in 1967 and trained at the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, receiving certification as a Jungian analyst in 1974. He served as president of the L.A. Jung Institute, conducted private dream workshops in his home for 30 years, and taught myths and fairy tales at UCLA in addition to maintaining a full private practice. Several years ago, this lifelong resident of Los Angeles moved with his wife moved to Georgetown, Texas.

The Story Behind The Men Who Stare at Goats

There is a lot of excitement right now about the new George Clooney film, The Men Who Stare at Goats. After all, who could resist a movie that starts by mixing humor with stories featuring psychic arts and peaceful warriors sporting all-seeing eye tattoos, loosely drawn from a real-life military ESP program, and which then winds up during the war in Iraq with the liberation of a stable full of doomed goats destined to be stared to death!

Join former Army psychic warrior Maj. Paul H. Smith (US Army, ret.) as he spins the stories behind the stories of The Men Who Stare at Goats, touching on secrets, straightening out twisted tales, and excavating down to bedrock truth about the soldiers who used ESP to keep track of America’s Cold War foes. For seven years, Paul H. Smith was assigned to the military psychic espionage program eventually known as Star Gate. He is author of Reading the Enemy’s Mind: Inside Star Gate—America’s Psychic Espionage Program (Tor/Forge, 2005), which was the Book Bonus and Editor’s Choice feature for the March 2006 Reader’s Digest.

Paul is President and Chief Instructor for Austin-based Remote Viewing Instructional Services, Inc. (www.rviewer.com) and President of the International Remote Viewing Association (www.irva.org).

The event is sponsored by the Austin Community Group of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (www.ionsaustin.org).
