The Original Literary Review of Bram Stoker's 'DRACULA'

The original literary review of Bram Stoker’s 'Dracula' in 'The Bristol, England, Times And Mirror' on 8 June 1897 was not overwhelming. But the classic novel's public response was positive.

The Bristol, England, Times And Mirror - 8 June 1897

We must confess at the outset that we prefer to avoid novels cast in diary form. But Mr. Bram Stoker explains that these papers have been placed in sequence and that how this has been done will be manifest to the reader as he proceeds.

Jonathan Harker’s journal sets forth, in the first place, his quest for Castle Dracula. The district he had to travel “is in the extreme east of the country, just on the borders of three States, Transylvania, Moldavia, and Bukovina, in the midst of the Carpathian Mountains, one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe. I was not able to light on any map or work giving the exact locality of Castle Dracula, as there are no maps of this country as yet to compare with our own Ordnance Survey maps. Still, I found that Bistictz, the post-town named by Count Dracula, is a fairly well-known place.” The author gives us some graphic sketches of the country and its people, and shortly receives a hearty welcome from Count Dracula to his “beautiful land.”

But the Count was a mystery. When the landlord was asked by the traveler if he knew Count Dracula, “and could tell me anything of his castle, both he and his wife crossed themselves, and saying they knew nothing at all, simply refused to speak further. It was so near the time of starting that I had no time to ask anyone else, for it was all very mysterious, and not by any means comforting.”

Jonathan Harker’s account of his approach to the castle is very powerfully told; but we feel as we read it that we are getting deeper and deeper into a land of shadows, weird and uncanny. A further acquaintance with Count Dracula certainly does not diminish the mystery about that person. We wish we had space to quote the very clever piece of writing which reveals the fact that Jonathan Harker, the bearer of the sealed letter from Hawkins, and Count Dracula were the only inhabitants of the castle. “I have only the Count to speak with, and he! I feel I am myself the only living soul within the place. Let me be prosaic, so far as facts can be; it will help me to bear up, and imagination must not run riot with me. If it does I am lost.”

To those who are fond of the ghastly and the gruesome, “Dracula” will be welcome to read. The story is cleverly constructed and brilliantly told, and we do not think we can add further praise to the manner in which Mr. Bram Stoker sets forth the mysterious and the awful. – London: Archibald Constable and Co., 2, Whitehall Gardens.

Canadian Woman Records FREAKISH WOMEN FEEDING ON ROTTING DEER CARCASS! (VIDEO)

A nature lover’s wildlife camera captured the disturbing moment when a pair of near-naked women held a supposed 'carcass-eating ritual' near her home after sundown.

Corinea Stanhope found a dead deer at the bottom of her garden in Powell River, British Columbia while riding her horse when she decided to set up a trail cam to see if it would attract other animals.

“There was a dead deer so me and my grandpa put up a trail camera to see if we could see animals and we got a bobcat [on camera], which was pretty cool,” she said. Stanhope was shocked by what she saw when her grandpa showed her the footage the next day.

“I came the next day and Grandpa said he’d got naked people on the camera and I said ‘No you didn’t. So he showed me,” she said. Images from the cam show two figures with matted hair wearing only loincloths standing over the dead deer and appearing to eat parts of its body.

“They came ten minutes after sunset. They looked disheveled. It looks like they have wigs on. One looks like she has blonde hair underneath,” Stanhope said. The women, with hair obscuring their faces, appear to squat down and reach for the rotted carcass before picking up a hoof and taking a bite.



“I don’t know what the heck was up with that. It really freaked us out, it’s not something you see every day,” she said. “You can’t really tell from the photos but the hoof was brought right up to her mouth. I don’t know if she was kissing it, smelling or eating it but to touch a decaying carcass like that makes me feel sick,” she continued. “The amount of bacteria that must have been on there. Maybe they were paying their respects but they were naked. It really creeped me out because it’s only a two-minute walk from our house and I was concerned about them messing with my horses at night.”

Stanhope said locals have been claiming she captured images of witches or evil spirits and there are even rumors of a cult in her area.

“A lot of people mentioned skin walkers and wendigos,” she said. “There are rumors around town about a cult that collects animal bones. I don’t know if it’s real or not.”

Stanhope said she’d noticed her horses in the past seemed “spooked and unnerved” around that area where the women were spotted.

“Some people have mentioned it since I posted the photos. A friend said they came across two people in the woods carrying some dead squirrels,” she claimed. “The horses always get really spooked and unnerved around that area. I thought they imagined stuff at first so I didn’t think anything of it. Maybe I believe them now.”

In other news, Stanhope’s camera also spotted a bobcat near the carcass later.

The Peak of the Great UFO Flap of 1973 - Part III

 

The Peak of the Great UFO Flap of 1973 - Part III of III

By Raymond A. Keller, Ph.D., a.k.a. “Cosmic Ray,” the author of the international awards-winning Venus Rising Series, published by Headline Books and available on Amazon.com, while supplies last.

Venus Rising: A Concise History of the Second Planet

Final Countdown: Rockets to Venus

The Vast Venus Conspiracy

Lady Columba Venus Revelations

Flying Saucers and the Venus Legacy

Many mystics and ufologists thought that the great comet Kohoutek was mere camouflage for an interplanetary spaceship approaching the Earth.  Artwork credit:  Fate magazine (Highland Park, Illinois), May 1974

“The Gods Hate Kansas”

The first time I came across the idea of flying saucers from other planets camouflaging themselves inside of easily identifiable celestial objects such as asteroids, comets, and meteorites was when, in my youth as a student at Moody Junior High School in Bedford, Ohio, I read Joseph Millard’s science fiction novel, The Gods Hate Kansas (Derby, Connecticut:  Monarch Books, Inc., 1964).  In this story, Dr. Curt Temple, a professor of astrophysics and meteoritics at a prominent Kansas university, is woken up in the middle of the night when he receives a telephone call from an administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Washington, D.C., informing him that astronomers at observatories in the Southwest have reported a swarm of at least nine meteorites plotted on a trajectory to crash within a one-hundred-mile radius of his location.  Insofar as Temple heads up a meteoritics team headquartered in the astronomy department at his university, he is asked to round up all the members of his team and go out to the crash site to examine the fallen meteors and take samples for further analysis.  

The book, apart from being engaging science fiction, was very informative insofar as learning about meteorites is concerned.  Wrote Millard, “Of an estimated 24 million meteors that strike the Earth’s atmosphere every day, no more than four or five fragments of any size were recovered in an average year.  Most of these were not found until vital clues to their nature and origin had been lost or weathered away.  The infant science of meteoritics was built almost entirely from ancient falls and a study of the meteoric dust in the atmosphere.”  In The Gods Hate Kansas, however, the fall of nine fresh, intact meteors on a nearby Kansas farm provides Temple and his team the opportunity to find the answers to a thousand burning questions they had been asking themselves about meteors for over a decade.  

Temple’s meteoritics team was headquartered in Kansas largely because, as the astrophysicist explains, “For a reason no scientist can explain, more stony meteorites strike little Kansas than any other place on Earth.  One-third of all known North American aerolite falls, and one-sixth of those reported in the world, have been in Kansas.  Despite a sparse population, more falls have been witnessed in Kansas than anywhere else on Earth.  Kansas receives more stones than any other state, more than any two states west of the Mississippi.”  Surely, with nine new ones to push this imbalance in favor of Kansas even further, Temple and his team members were elated.

Martha: “Jonathan, I don’t think he’s from around these parts.”

Topping Off the UFO Flap of 1973

One would think that any other UFO sightings remaining to be reported following the abduction of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker on 11 October 1973, would be, by comparison, considered in the ufology community to be “mediocre,” at best. But along came comet Kohoutek, and along with it, a slew of prophets and doomsayers announcing that its arrival in Earth’s vicinity heralded the end of the world, at least as we know it.  In the autumn of 1973, no sooner than national media were touting the arrival of comet Kohoutek with the promise of a super-spectacular fireworks display to light up the winter sky, just in time for Christmas Eve, televangelists got on board the Kohoutek craze touting it as a sign of our entrance into the “End Times,” or “Latter Days.”  This got the general public to begin wondering, however, if the comet was a signal from God or the devil?  

In Madison, Wisconsin, a popular Christian fundamentalist lawyer, Edward Ben Elson, took to sponsoring announcements on local television and radio stations declaring that comet Kohoutek was actually a large carrier spaceship from another planet that was going to enter into the Earth’s atmosphere on December 24th, causing massive damage to our world and killing millions of people in the process.  Elson warned that “As Kohoutek approaches the Earth, its hydrogen and carbon tail will blend with our atmosphere to produce petroleum, which will flood our planet.  I hold out hope, however, that 144,000 persons will be saved.  They will be beamed up from their rooftops to sanctuary aboard the spaceship!”  

Many in Madison and the surrounding areas actually took Elson quite seriously but began to have doubts once he began selling tickets in his Lake Monona shoreside neighborhood to 1,000 souls who would allegedly join him and his wife onboard the mothership in escaping the prophesied destruction of the Earth, along with other elect ones as preselected by the reaping space angels.  “What would Elson need with American dollars on the new planet?” wondered his neighbors.  When Christmas Eve arrived and the space angels did not, it should be pointed out that members of the police bunko squad were on hand at Elson’s residence to make him return the money to those he bilked.  Since he did so, he did not have to face jail time, just humiliation.

Kohoutek Poses Dangers to Earth and Venus

Dr. Anton Pliska, part of the Holy City Church in San Jose, California, was another prophet of doom. Pliska prophesied that an all-out destruction of Earth would come at the end of the first week of 1974, but not directly from comet Kohoutek but from our sister planet Venus.  

Explained Pliska: “Kohoutek will not collide with Earth; but with Venus, which, in turn, would carom from its orbit like a billiard ball and destroy the Earth in a cataclysmic encounter on January 7th.  The resulting collision will not only wipe out the population of Earth but that of Venus, as well.”

Other So-called Seers Got It Wrong

Rev. Joe C. Crews, pastor of the Church of God of Prophecy, Fort Meyers, Florida, in his Christmas Eve sermon, urged his congregants to: “Prepare for eternity.  I really believe that the comet is part of the prophecy of God because He (Jesus) spoke of signs in the heavens during the Last Days, and a ‘star falling from the heavens.’  I can’t, however, determine the exact time the world will end because God has said in the Scriptures that only He knows the time of the end.”  

Moses David Berg, leader of the Children of God sect, beginning in the autumn of 1973 through the middle of January 1974, consistently urged his followers to distribute leaflets, dated 8 September 1973, in all cities where they were residing that carried his pronouncement that, “Comet Kohoutek is a spaceship that has carried cosmic visitors to our world in the past.  Prepare for the arrival of these angels.”  And then he issued a second pamphlet in November, with no specified date, further stating that “The comet signals the fall of the emperor in the White House (Jimmy Carter).  However, a new day is coming after all the destruction the comet will bring; and it will be a better one.”

Comet’s New Age Significance

Astrologers and other leaders in the so-called New Age community also spoke about the significance of comet Kohoutek’s near approach to the Earth.  

Paul Solomon, a prominent psychic from Atlanta, Georgia, felt that “The time of the comet’s presence will provide an energy that will allow for greater communication than the world has known in many, many years.  It will be a time particularly potent for freeing one from karmic lessons.”  

Elizabeth Clare Prophet, from the Divine Hierarchy of her Colorado-based Summit Lighthouse, also took a more optimistic view of the comet’s approach.  While leading her chelas (students) to a special convocation on the shores of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia during the Christmas holidays, she explained, “We have assembled here to view not only a spectacular solar eclipse but also the heavenly phenomenon on Christmas Eve of conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and the comet.  These multifaceted phenomena have occurred for the purpose of allowing the descending avatars to appear, and they shall come in the new year.  The year 1974 shall witness the birth of the Divine Man-child and also a host of new avatars (masters) that will mark the emergence of a new celestial race.”

Comet Hysteria Carries Over to Mainline Christianity

While the New Agers were quite excited about the comet as a herald for the arrival of celestial master teachers, or avatars, many in the traditional Christian, or mainline churches, saw the comet as a possible sign of Jesus’ Second Coming.

In the December 1973 Christmas issue of Christianity Today (Carol Stream, Illinois), that magazine’s theology correspondent, Donald V. Etz, speculated, “Some biblical events may have been caused by comets, and accompanying meteor showers; and the second coming of Christ may well be heralded by such a heavenly manifestation as the arrival of Kohoutek.”

David Webber, the editor of the Gospel Truth monthly periodical, published in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, also reflected a similar perspective on the comet’s importance in their Christmas issue when he wrote that, “The Century Comet (Kohoutek) in itself does not present indisputable proof that Christ is coming soon; but when considered in the light of the one hundred other end-time prophetic events coming into view, the evidence becomes overwhelming.”

Rev. Carl McIntire, the national radio preacher from Collingswood, New Jersey, stated his agreement with Webber’s point of view concerning comet Kohoutek.  In his Christmas Eve broadcast, McIntire fervently declared, “Kohoutek is a sign of the Second Coming of Christ, a most thrilling piece of evidence.”

“Caveat Emptor” (Latin for “Let the Buyer Beware”)

Sometimes religionists of all shades and those in the UFO and metaphysical communities, particularly, are quick to buy off on the latest portents seen in the sky and the alleged significance attached to such seeming omens.  And sometimes, not too long after being proven wrong in their assumptions about these phenomena, these same folks never seem to learn from their mistakes. 

Hale-Bopp was another comet to which much significance was attached, and definitely, one of the most viewed comets in history, insofar as it had an absolute magnitude of -1, thus making it one of the brightest comets to ever reach the inner solar system in modern times.  According to a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA),  Hale-Bopp appeared 1,000 times brighter than Halley's Comet did when it was at the same distance.  Hale-Bopp manifested twin blue-and-white tails which were clearly visible even from light-polluted areas such as Chicago or Los Angeles.

Sadly, there was a tragic incident attached to the appearance of Hale-Bopp, where 39 people who were part of the "Heaven's Gate" cult in San Diego, California, committed mass suicide as the comet came closer to the Earth.  The leader of this sect, Marshall Applewhite, told his followers that the comet concealed an interplanetary spaceship that was going to whisk them all away to a paradisical world; and that the price to board the spaceship was to take their own lives, thus freeing their spirit bodies to rise up out of their physical corpses and meet up with the aliens and their craft in space.  

According to NASA,  Hale-Bopp's closest approach to Earth occurred in March. 22, 1997, at a distance of about 120 million miles (193 million kilometers). (By comparison, the sun is 93 million miles, or 150 million km, from Earth). Astronomers still had the bright Hyakutake comet fresh in their minds at the time as it just passed by Earth in 1996. Hale-Bopp was many times farther away than Hyakutake but still appeared much brighter.

Heaven's Gate leader Marshall Applewhite, a former music professor, and Presbyterian minister, convinced his cult’s members that their bodies were merely containers that could be abandoned in favor of a higher metaphysical existence. Because he also convinced them that an alien spacecraft was following in the wake of the Hale-Bopp comet and that by giving up their physical bodies their spirits could take a ride aboard the interplanetary craft, in late March 1997, Applewhite and 38 followers drank a lethal cocktail of phenobarbital and vodka and laid themselves down to die, thereby entering the alien spacecraft and passing through Heaven's Gate into a higher ultra-dimensional existence. The bodies of 21 women and 18 men were found lying in bunk beds in a rented mansion in suburban San Diego, Calif. They were wearing matching clothes and new sneakers.

Frequently, the appearance of a bright comet or other space debris burning up in the atmosphere, like a meteor, brings about this kind of dangerous and often meaningless prophecy that often passes as precognition.  In 1997, I was living in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and wrote an article about the dangers I saw in Applewhite and his cult, stressing that while some UFOs may sneak in under the guise of meteors, there is too long a history of meteors and other such startling astronomical phenomena being associated with the wayward prophecies of so-called doomsday hucksters. 

Perhaps, in examining the importance of comet Kohoutek in the final days of the great UFO flap of 1973, we should consider the words of the evangelist and Greek doctor Luke, who penned in Chapter 21, Verse 8 of his Gospel in the New King James Version:

And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore, do not go after them.

And all the people should loudly proclaim, “Amen!”

Heaven’s Gate cult leader Marshall Applewhite: “Off on a comet!” with his dangerous program of Human Individual Metamorphosis.

Oregon Logger Describes His BIGFOOT EXPERIENCES

An Oregon logger discusses his encounters with Bigfoot while working in Mount Hood National Forest. He describes its uncanny ability to show up silently while being curious.

"I was on our property in the Mount Hood National Forest in western Oregon. I was making a new access road for equipment to get through and had been cutting with my chainsaw for some time when I decided to take a break. I pulled my earplugs out which I normally leave in my ears. I sat there inspecting my work. Suddenly, something started crunching through the thick brush from down over the hillside in my direction straight at me. At first, I thought it was an elk but the equipment noise should have kept the area clear of most animals and I could tell it was cumbersome and lumbered along on two feet.

I started straining my eyes to see what was coming through the thicket as it approached and got closer with every step. Finally, by the sound, I knew I should be seeing it because it wasn't more than 50 feet in the brush but I couldn't make out any dark forms at all. It was November and all the leaves were gone off the trees and plants so I had visibility of 200 feet. 

Suddenly, it came to a stop. It all went silent, extremely silent. There were no typical forest noises of any kind. I could feel that I was being watched but why couldn't I see it. Anyway, I got tired of whatever it was playing games. I put my earplugs back in, fired up my saw, and went back to work, keeping my eyes down low just in case it let itself be seen. I knew it was watching me but I wasn't going to give it the satisfaction of freaking me out. I trust the Lord to keep me safe and that thing knew it.

I didn't have anything else happen that day. But when I returned the next morning something had taken all the brush I had stacked in piles along the new road and scattered it back in my way. Again, upon noticing this, I was peering through the woods around me with my senses on edge. When my two dogs came out to visit me, they quietly walked up behind me and stepped on some branches breaking them. I about jumped into the next county. I went back to work re-stacking the brush and nothing more happened.

About six months later, though, I was in an area not far from there where I had been cutting all day, trying to get a section out of an old growth fur log for carving. It was getting close to dusk and I had my old Chevy pickup parked not far from me, about 40 feet away. I was preoccupied with what I was doing at the moment. But as I let my saw start a new cut down through the five-foot log I glanced over at my truck and there standing alongside it, between me and the car, was a massive being, all black or dark brown and staring at me! I cursed under my breath because I really wasn't looking for a visit now. My truck is hot blue so this thing stood out really well against it. That rig is on 35-inch tires, a six-inch lift with the top of the cab being about seven feet tall and this thing's head was quickly a foot taller than the truck. I didn't stare at it or want to make a lot of eye contact with it, but I noticed it was about four feet wide at the shoulders and its arms hung down to its knees. It was very hairy and very solid. I'm no judge, but I'm assuming it had to have been at least 600 pounds if not more.

The second I saw this thing standing there a cold shiver ran down me but I didn't want it to think I saw it so I turned back to focus on my cutting. I didn't want to look back or head over to see if it was still there. It was now it was about 10 feet closer to me and standing more to my left near the hood of my truck. I could feel my heart pounding and I was getting a cold sweat too, but I went back to focusing on my work. I didn't look back for several minutes knowing that things could show up next to me or behind me without warning. I find the best thing to do is focus on what I'm doing and not look around and don't get let my imagination run away with me. It's easy to do out there in the dark with those Bigfoot being curious and coming around.

I looked back up after five minutes and it was gone, thank God. But I'm sure it was standing in the dark there somewhere and I wasn't about to look around for it. I finished my work there packed my tools and headed to the house without anything more occurring.

The next day I went back, but after that, I tried to get back before dusk. I had previously thought that they were kind of shy but not after what I've seen. They're curious and will show up even if equipment or machinery is running.

One summer, several years ago, I was spending an evening with a friend over in Washington at a rock pit we used to camp at quite a bit. Over a decade ago she had her own encounters with the Bigfoot in which one walked up to her and her brother in the forest on Mount Hood. They were armed with AR-15s but were both frozen in fear. It got within five feet of them and just locked eyes with her. It was a nine to ten-foot male and watched her intently for about a minute before turning its head and disappearing into the trees. They literally looked and looked for it, but it had vanished. This encounter happened in broad daylight.

Anyway, they are amazing creatures."
