Going to be working on the site heavily today, so it might look a little messed up. Had some database problems overnight and working to get everything back to normal. Sorry for the inconvenience.

UPDATE 1: Fixed the nav links again (consolidated Videos and Gallery into one– Media) and removed the Who’s Online? link.

UPDATE 2: Going to be backdating some of the posts to get the right order. Sorry if the date isnt exactly correct, we’re doing the best we can. Also have streamlined the way the site is backed up, so this problem should be avoided from now on.

UPDATE 3: Added a link to the nav bar to register with the site. Going to be working on a way to bridge the accounts between wordpress and phpbb so that when you register (or log in) to Paranormal X, you’re automatically registered/logged in to the forums.

At first glance, Experiments in the Revival of Organisms comes off as a piece of World War Two era Soviet propaganda. The arteries and blood vessels leading in and out of the dog-head aren’t made visible to the viewer, and the narration that accompanies the film (by the pro-Communist British Biologist J.B.S. Haldane) leaves much to be desired in terms of medical accuracy, so dumbed down was his description of the experiment. The film supposedly documents experiments performed by Dr. S.S. Bryukhonenko at the Institute of Experimental Physiology and Therapy in the U.S.S.R. It was premiered in November, 1943, when the National Council of American-Soviet Friendship and the American-Soviet Medical Society showed it to a thousand American scientists in New York City.

Police photo of the dead body, 1948.

The Taman Shud Case,[notes 1] also known as the “Mystery of the Somerton Man”, is an unsolved case revolving around an unidentified man found dead at 6:30a.m., December 1, 1948 on Somerton beach in Adelaide, Australia.

Considered “one of Australia’s most profound mysteries”, the case has been the subject of intense speculation over the years regarding the identity of the victim, the events leading up to his death and the cause of death.

While scrutiny of the case has been mainly centred in Australia, there has also been coverage of the case internationally.

After being in contact with the woman I mentioned in my last post for the past several months, I am beginning to have second thoughts about her and her motives. I agreed, at her suggestion that we work together on this “project”. We began to share what each of us had. Her knowledge based on her father’s military career and connection to the camp, and my documents, pictures and film. Maybe I should have known better, but when you find someone who has knowledge of something like this you just get sucked in. I began to grow suspicious of her when she wanted me to send her the originals – so that she could “see them in person”. Something I did not do. She was more than willing to send me personal effects left by her father – which seemed odd to me. There have been several things she has said or told me that don’t add up, and my feeling now is that she is not sincere in her motives, or that she is even who she says she is. I have cut off all communications with her, and I am back on my own. She did have genuine knowledge that I could specifically confirm, but where she got that knowledge keeps me up at night. The worst part is, all the information I’ve gathered from her over the past months is suspect at best, and pure deception at worst.
