There is no such thing as a coincidence; or is there? In February 2025 I was notified that I had one Wooga’s June’s Journey Destination Berlin International Contest. In fact I learned that out of 1.1. million players, and out of all the contest entries, I was the ONLY person in the WHOLE world who got all the quiz questions correct, the question written to find their most ardent detectives correct – NO ONE ELSE DID, and Dario said my essay would have won even if I had failed the quiz!
All the plane tickets to get to Berlin were purchased by Wooga and they put me up in the 5 star Berlin Marriott Hotel near the Brandenburg Gate and the entrance to the Tiergartenand paid for my meals and taxis.
Just a short 110 meters (361 feet) walk from the entrance to the hotel was the entrance to a FABULOUS Indian restaurant. Being partially disabled, this was just the right distance for me to walk to the traffic light, wait, get to the median, wait, then cross. And this is where I ate Sunday and Monday nights.
A lot of Indian restaurants have pictures and statutes of Lord Krishna and Lord Ganesha. Except for a restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City which had a statute of Green Tara, it’s rare to find ones that are what the Tibetans call “empowered”. After eating a meal worth traveling for 3 days to get to, I asked if I could take photos. I was transfixed by the seated Ganesha and didn’t notice a man asking me in German how I was. I was startled and he had to ask again in English.
This Ganesha was most definitely “alive” for lack of a better word. I was instructed to touch his foot for a blessing. The energy felt like “home”.
This Ganesha was adorable, but I didn’t “feel” anything.
Lord Krishna was standing right behind my table. I kept feeling like someone was staring at me. I turned and the statue glowed and I felt like Shri Krishna was just as mirthful as could be.
This is the formal entrance to the restaurant.
I sat facing the street. It was just a bit too breezy to sit outside in the outdoor cafe section.A sparrow kept getting on my table and stealing rice so I finally just gave him some.
This a banquet room and the energy in this area was incredible!
That led to a conversation that would blow my mind. One he attended college in Wayne, New Jersey which is not far at all from Upper Montclair where I graduated back in 1975. What was even more of a mind blower is the statues were imported from Bali and they have a shrine in the kitchen.
If you know ANYTHING at all about Sikh temples, known as Gurdwaras, anyone can go and eat a free vegetarian meal called a Langar. Everyone is welcome, rich and poor. The food is blessed and anyone who has the karma to receive such a meal is extraordinarily lucky. I have always wanted to get to India to visit a Gurdwara, but not that I have trouble flying, I hold out no hope of ever going.
HOWEVER, a restaurant where the owner and the chefs are Sikhs cooking in a kitchen with a shrine, I think my wish came true. The food tasted better than anything I ever ate. And the detox effect was indisputable.
This is what I had Sunday night and I went back Monday and got adventurous.
This was the BEST salad I have ever eaten anywhere ever!
THIS is the Mumbai hot fudge brownie with Madagascar Vanilla Ice cream served in a piping hot iron skillet so the hot fudge sauce bubbles the entire time you eat it with a tiny silver spoon!
I had to order the raita – it’s not on the menu. The waiter was shocked when I asked for it. The lamb korma was outstanding.
I was not all that fond of the chicken Punjabi street food. The chicken melt like butter in my mouth, but the flavoring was different than the tandoori chicken spices or chicken tikka spices I’m used to. The samosas were HUGE and I could only make a dent in one.
I fell in love with the tea and am going to order it on Amazon. It was exactly what I needed to detox from getting sick on the flight from Salt Lake City to Boston and then the next day from Boston to Dublin. Right before I had to leave to drive 4 hours east to Salt Lake City so I could fly to Boston, a process server showed up with a SECOND lawsuit filed by Armstrong Steel.
I filed my response when I got back. It hopefully, will be covered by the national news soon.
In April 2023 I was so excited. I had decided to get out of Nevada and move to the woods in Tennessee. I got a phone call from a sales representative working at Armstrong Steel and like hundreds of others fell for the lies and the high pressured sales tactics. You can read about that on my Substack page “Armstrong Steel Sued Me” if you want to feel your blood pressure burst veins in your head.
Instead of living in the woods and working out in a Fitmax pool and going to healers and enjoying life, I’m stuck in Nevada responding to one of Armstrong Steel’s corporate attorneys and trying to figure out what the District Court in Arapahoe County, Colorado wants me to do to convince the judge in my Case #2025CV161 to grant me a day in court to let me argue why the award procured by fraud should be vacated. Trying to represent myself without an attorney (because instead of manifesting abundance i.e. money), I manifested a lot of stomach acid and sleepless nights.
OR did I? Well, stomach acid for sure.
There are a lot of astrologers on TikTok and YouTube and Facebook. I am a fan of Yasmin Boland, but I stumbled upon a fast and I mean FAST talking one-eyed astrologer/numerologist on TikTok called The Blind Zac.
TikTok sucks in many ways, but I do urge you to get a piece of paper or open the link on a computer and take notes. Zac warns his followers to get prepared for June 9, 2025. He starts by asking if your life has been #%*& since November 2024. I’d back up to when Armstrong Steel sued me in August, but in November the arbitration was causing immense stress so I guess this fits. Zac then asks about your love life and then asks “Can’t get your money right no matter how hard you try?”
Starting on June 9, 2025, for the first time in 12 years Jupiter is moving into Cancer. Twelve years ago (between June 26, 2013 and July 16, 2014) Jupiter was in the sign of Cancer. That actually, for me, was no different as far as stress goes. My precious 4.5 pound Pomeranian was murdered the Sunday after Thanksgiving that year and I wanted to move as far away from here as possible. At the same time, my late husband wanted to quit his fabulous job and move to New Jersey to take a job that paid a lot less just because he hated working in Elko.He had handed in his letter of resignation and when the move fell through he had to get another job in a hurry. The hospital hired him and for a brief while we were financially well off. I was stuck here, however.
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer “meaning it thrives in this sign and expresses its energies with ease and abundance. Cancer, ruled by the Moon, is associated with emotional security, family, home, and intuition. Together, Jupiter in Cancer symbolizes growth through nurturing, compassion, and emotional bonds. This placement encourages you to embrace comfort, care, and the wisdom found in your feelings”.
And this is from my chart. The second house is where you value cash, property, possessions and self-esteem, material wealth, and whatever else you value.
I guess this all makes sense since I’ll be fighting for my property and possessions in court against a company that’s been sued repeatedly for consumer fraud with a history of cheating customers out of “non-refundable” deposits.
Jupiter is also going to be forming two sextiles. One with Venus and Taurus and the other with Mars and Leo.Zac says that the way to take advantage of these sextiles is to “step into your authenticity”. I link to Meg Lyons, PCC‘s blog post below on just how to do that.
Mars represents forward momentum and passion. Leo represents who you TRULY are “when all illusions are stripped away”. At the same time there is a Neptune and Saturn conjunctionin Aries which is happening for the first time since the year 1703.From looking at the events on Wikipedia for at that year, I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
“Saturn is the planet that represents karma and it governs the physical world and the hardest challenges you have to face and the hardest lessons you have to learn”.
Saturn – SHANI DEV in the Hindu pantheon is a fascinating planet.Saturn was at 3°47 retrograde in Scorpio in my Sixth House when I was born. In the Hay House Astrology Course chart (I took Yasmin’s class several years back when I still could afford to do so), Yasmin writes “Saturn represents your sense of responsibility and limitation, how you react to setbacks, where you are most fearful and feel insecure, indicating where you will learn the most important lesson of your life, which is indicative of your greatest strength“.
The sixth house, by the way, is the House of daily work, health and routines, being of service to others, alternative health, job situation. Well THAT sucks because I’m trying to fight Armstrong Steel to get my deposit back and to vacate the arbitration award procured by fraud, but also to get the deposits back for all the other victims which forces me to feel responsible for all those who were too afraid to fightbecause corporate attorneys are ruthless and unethical and relentless and heartless. They will milk customer’s bank accounts dry on behalf of their employersby forcing them to pay for attorneys Read all the books and articles by Gerry Spence and you’ll see what I mean.
Zac then points out Neptune is the planet of the inner world, the inner most subconscious deepest dreams and hidden desires. Well that helps explains my friend who has Pisces as an ascendant and why it’s impossible to read him. With Saturn and Neptune conjunct in Aries, the sign that represents the FIRE of CREATION, it is the portal through which we bring things from the inner world to the outer world. This Saturn and Neptune Conjunct in Aries is forming a sextile with PLUTO RETROGRADE in Aquarius!
PLUTO – Yikes “Pluto represents trust and abuse of trust, control, obsessions, and power struggles. Pluto is the force of intense transformation indicative of the most secretive side of your nature”. Zac says that Pluto is the planet that represents wealth, transformation, death, and rebirth cycles”. It’s going to be retrograde in Aquarius the sign which represents the people.
Pluto was at 22°41′ of Leo in my 3rd house on the day I was born. I was married to a psychotic, violently abusive physician until he committed suicide on November 8, 2021. I was burglarized by a man I rescued (see previous posts) who stole all my gold coins, my grandparents gold rings, a solid gold bracelet, my rare coin collection, and a rare Tibetan kapala skull plus all my late husband’s human skulls he bought while in med school. He stole so much, I almost lost my mind.
The third house is for communications, siblings and neighbours, trips, transport, your mind.
Since there are 10 planets (counting Pluto and the sun and moon), some signs also share the same ruling planet.
Aries: ruled by Mars
Taurus: ruled by Venus
Gemini: ruled by Mercury
Cancer: ruled by the moon
Leo: ruled by the sun
Virgo: ruled by Mercury
Libra: ruled by Venus
Scorpio: traditionally ruled by Mars, but ruled by Pluto in modern astrology
Sagittarius: ruled by Jupiter
Capricorn: ruled by Saturn
Aquarius: traditionally ruled by Saturn, but ruled by Uranus in modern astrology
Pisces: traditionally ruled by Jupiter, but ruled by Neptune in modern astrology
When I was born, Aquarius was in mid-heaven and not in a house. “Those with their Midheaven in Aquarius are inspirers who, when young, found their inspiration in great revolutionary minds, inventors, and philanthropists. Regardless of the rest of your birth chart, if you have an Aquarius Midheaven, you’ll gain status as a social, friendly, intelligent, artistic, but quirky individualist who’s full of out-of-the-box ideas and imaginative solutions“. I always thought of my self as eclectic, but quirky fits – bat poop crazy is also apropos.
Zac then ratchets up his message. In order to take advantage of all the universe has to offer you have to let go of people and things that do not have your back even if they have the best intentions for you. This gobsmacked me because it makes one or at least me rather paranoid.
Add to all of this we’re in the YEAR OF THE WOOD SNAKE and am a Wood Horse. 2025 is also a 9 year. “2025 marks the end of a major chapter. In Numerology, 2025 is considered a 9 Universal Year (2+0+2+5=9), and 9 represents completion and the conclusion of a cycle before beginning again with a fresh 1, as we will in 2026 (2+0+2+6=10, and 1+0=1).
A 9 Universal Year also marks the halfway point in what’s called a Push Cycle. Made up of years 8, 9, 1, a Push Cycle is marked by a crescendo of power and experience in the 8 Universal Year, followed by the acclimation and completion achieved in the 9, before beginning something new in the 1″. 2016 was the year the Notorious Doc moved from Spring Creek to Las Vegas and only came home a few times, the last to bring up two barely weaned pit bull litter mates on September 22, 2018. He left for Vegas the next day and I NEVER, THANK ALL OF THE GODS, saw him ever again!We stayed married, but thankfully, he never made good on his vow to drive up and kill meto get the equity out of my house.
Shed the old ways, shed the old timeline, and step into a new version of ourselves. I had hoped to be living in Crossville, Tennessee with a FitMax pool by now I would have shed 50 pounds or more. I guess I’ll just have the KMART inflatable pool erected in the backyard and try to shed 10 pounds this summer.I MOST DEFINITELY want to shed the old timeline of living in fear all the time. And I want to my books published and my YouTube and TikTok and Instagram accounts monetized as I produce content everyday for a global audience.
If we shed our skins and be authentic, still not sure I buy into that concept, sounds too much like some sort of Human Resources (HR) gimmick, then Venus in Taurus will be activated. I don’t have planets in Taurus in my chart. Taurus is, however, in my 12th houseand it’s empty – no planets.Venus is in my second house in Cancer.
Zac then goes on to instruct everyone to pull up their natal/birth charts. Which house do you have Cancer in? Mine as you see above is in my second house. “This is someone capable to work from home, or someone who goes with the flow and relies on destiny to bring them their wealth. In general, this might not be such a strong position if the Moon isn’t very strong, but gives the ability to find incredible joy in food, cooking, and family gatherings”.
I live to eat I do not eat to live!
Which house do you have Leo in? Mine is in the third house with the planet Pluto as mentioned above. Which house do you have Taurus in (mine is in the 12th), Aries in (11th), and Aquarius in (9th)?
Cancer being in my 2nd house is going to see a major upheaval in my home life or cooking. Since I spend most of my time on the computer, I hope this means I will get published soon and my international following will skyrocket.
Taurus being in my empty 12th house (which is the house of secrets and fantasies) is through which a lot of financial abundance is going to come and assuming I will ever have a “love life” is going to take a huge leap forward.I need to be really careful what I visualize and not let my subconscious run amok that’s for sure.
Leo being in my 3rd house of Language, Communication, Technology, Transport, Early Education, Data Processing, and Perception. Considering the fact that I’m Wooga’s June’s Journey Destination Berlin contest winner, and I’m going to be doing a series of videos and a website about fan fiction, I guess this is spot on.Leo is the sign, Zac says is where I need to “step into my authenticity”.
Aries is in my 11th house of Community, Friendships, Wishes, Charity. and Earned Wealth. This is the house where Saturn will be and where I will have to make a lot of hard decisions.On the plus side it will be the house I’ll do most of manifesting through. FRIENDSHIP and wishes and definitely charity towards others is how I have manifested my whole life.
Aquarius is in my 9th house of Ideology and Worldview, Higher Learning, Travel, 2nd Life Partner (I can’t make this up, and I’m NOT going to talk about that part of my life.), Spirituality and Religion, and
Law
Good Grief!This is when Zac asks who are you sharing your abundance with? Now I feel sick.
So back to normal blogging if there is such a thing.
Netflix has a pop up for a “new” show. It is from 2006 but it’s new to Netflix. I had never seen a Japanese version of Journey to the West and this was my chance!
If you are not a fan of Japanese anime, then you won’t necessarily grasp the similarity. The actor who portrays Sun Wukong aka Son Goku, Shingo Katori,香取慎吾 yells a lot. I am not a HUGE fan of anime, but I do watch it so seeing a human actor imitating an anime performance isn’t all that shocking. To some, it’s blasphemy.
Episode one is about the bull demon. EVERYONE in Journey to the West wants to either eat or have sex with the Tang monk. Eating him – or in the Japanese version HER, grants immortality and super powers. Sex with Tripitaka strips the Buddhist practitioner of his/her powers and it’s kinky – and complicated and well it’s kinky.
As I watched the scene where Tripitaka’s teacher (sensei) turns out to be a back stabbing traitor, I couldn’t stop trying to remember WHICH version of Journey to the West I had seen the same scene. I swore it was the 2011 version and I SWORE my heart throb Feng Shaofeng 绍峰, known as William Feng star of Ice Fantasy and Monkey King and several other great tv series and movies had stared in the 2011 version. He did not.
So I searched all the various versions on YouTube and Daily Motion and sites I had never heard of before – some with Vietnamese subitltes, some with Arabic, some with none, and some with Thai until instead of finding the same Bull Demon scene I came across a scene that I had long since given up hope of EVER watching again! One I was spell bound by when I saw it for the first time in the 1986 version.Please click on the screenshot and let me know if you think this is as magical I do and if doesn’t transport you to the realm of nature spirits!
This may sound like the craziest thing you will ever read or hear about and that’s okay. It’s not important. It is something I want to document since 2025 has already turned out to be the strangest year of all time. At least in my life anyway.
Back in I believe 1989 or 1990 I was watching the 1986 Chinese series called Journey to the West on the locally owned New York TV station called WYNC channel 31 or possibly on PBS Channel 13. Each episode was introduced by Maxine Hong Kingston the famous author. She had just published
I sent for the episode guide and I hope it’s in with my files in storage. Bill Moyers vaguely shows up in my memory as he I think was also doing a general introduction. Moyers was doing a series on Chinese medicine at the time. I wrote to him about my doctoral dissertation in 1995 and he wrote back. Alas, my mother’s mind succumbed to Alzheimer’s and multi-infarct dementia just as I defended my dissertation and my career trajectory it the ground and stayed down for a long time.
The series struck a memory I just could not dredge up. All I knew was I was hooked and Sun Wukong became something of an obsession. I had to find every version of the story. I’m not as obsessed, however, as my pen pal, Jim R. McClanahan, nor the actor who is considered the ultimate Monkey King, Zhang Jinlai,章金莱, stage name, Liu Xiao Ling Tong (六小龄童; ‘Little Six Year Old Child’), who has an entire museum dedicated to Sun Wukong which Yugene Lee shares in her video.
I don’t have a shrine, um yet, to Sun Wukong who has shrines all over Asia (one is in Bangkok, this one Jim describes).
So back to why I’m doing this series. In July 2024, Sun Wukong showed up in a dream. That’s pretty special, but nothing compared to my housemate telling me that a hairy tall being was in the house with us.
I wrote to my friend Jim in Taipai and asked if he had EVER heard of someone who had Sun Wukong show up in his/her house? I can’t see him, but my new housemate can. He can hear him as well. Sun Wukong, assuming it is he, I can sense him, but not see, nor hear him.Jim hasn’t seen my message yet. I hope we stay friends after he reads this!
Okay, what? My housemate was staying with my other housemate and myself because he had broken up with his fiancė, although they got back together at Christmas. It was November 7, 2024 a week after Halloween. Alex came in my room to ask me a question and as he was talking something was making him sneeze and he finally lost his temper and yelled at the entity standing next to him who was blowing dust on him. I know. It sounds wacka doodle. I wanted to concentrate on our conversation and I could sense something in the room so I ordered whatever it was to go to the other side of the room and sit the BLEEP down. It did. Alex stopped sneezing and said the being looked subdued.
The description was of a kind of werewolf or hairy anthropomorphic being. Not wanting to think about it, we went about the evening’s chores. A few days later, I was in a LOT of pain. The being showed up again and this time I wanted a better description. We went to my computer and for some strange reason I pulled up images of Sun Wukong. Alex let out a gasp and the being then said yes that was he and he was here because he owes me a favor. HUH? How on EARTH could a deity owe me a favor.
Assuming it IS or WAS Sun Wukong the being told my housemate, I am – this is cray cray- I am a reincarnation of Bai Long Ma (Chinese: 白龍馬) son of Ao Run (敖闰) or Ao Ji (敖吉), the Dragon King of the West Sea (西海龙王, Xīhǎi Lóngwáng)! There is more to the story but no one will believe either of us so I’ll omit it and let you all sit happily in your homes with the odd spider or fly and pretend there is no such thing as other realms or beings or multiple universes or paranormal this or that or ghosts or fae or fictional characters who might not be fictional at all.
Oddly enough, Bâi Long Ma was my favorite character and I was born in the year of the Horse. My dad played polo and was a stunt rider. I love horses.
At some point I’ll throw in the story about seeing the dragon that lives in the Rubies. And in case you’re thinking this is the craziest caca you’ve read in a long time, I have two other friends who can see the beings that hang around me. And each is perfectly sane. Both are business women. Both are perfectly normal. They just happen to be psychic. Both insist I am not like anything they’ve ever seen. What’s even trippier I can see Alex’s past lives as if they were movies playing in my head and he can remember them. These abilities are not rare. In India they are talked about. On TikTok people are coming out of the shadows and talking about the paranormal on CAMERA! I’m not that brave.
Last week was hell week. On Tuesday, February 4, 2025 I spent all day on Zoom in a forced arbitration one-day Expedited Fast Track Award in Two Weeks Evidentiary Hearing hosted by the American Arbitration Assocation with assets of over $107 MILLION US dollars. I was sued by Atlantic Building Systems, a Delaware Incorporated Limited Liability Company Doing Business as Armstrong Steel in Colorado for breach of contract. I had, according to their general counsel, Repudiated THEIR contract by declaring null and void. I declared it null and void because the company uses bait and switch and high pressured sales tactics. Click on the link to watch one of the news reports about the class action lawsuit and all the irate customers who have been silenced for the most part.
This is my hero! Wish we could do the Haka in our courts or in Congress.
My girlfriend, Ännie who had been in the truck the day I got the phone call from the sales rep and her fiancè had spent the night so Ännie could appear as a witness if called. She was and she did a great job. Two days later on Thursday, February 6 shortly before 11 am, Alex was heading towards town from the gravel pit at the end of Last Chance Road in Elko – the same road where I got the fateful call from Armstrong Steel in 2023, when while on a sharp blind curve on the gravel, a speeding black Nissan came right at Alex. This was the first time EVER that Ännie and her dog, Bandit were not in the truck.
Alex swerved and the truck rolled and he was thrown clear. Truck got damaged but Alex was miraculously not killednor injured – hurt his back, but it’s healing.
Okay, but here is where it gets weird. The black Nissan could only have traveled on up to the end and gone through the gate to the gravel pit and it didn’t. It was never seen again.
WAS IT a phantom or what’s called a GENIUS LOCI??????
WHAT is a genius loci you ask? Let’s back up a month to June 2021 not long before Mr. Littell was attacked by pit bulls on July 8, 2021 ON LAST CHANCE ROAD!Sometime in late May or early June of 2021 I saw a comment on the Facebook page for Skinwalker Ranch. One of the members of the group posted a comment about his first hand account of encountering a genius loci. His friend saw a truck barreling towards him in the dark and he, himself, saw a gray alien. Click on the screenshot for a great article about genius loci and landscapes.
A genius loci might be an earth spirit (known as chthonic forces) which had never inhabited human form.
What Michael Willis described is really scary. I told him to get in touch with Joshua P. Warren and Josh had him on his podcast.Click on the screenshot to hear it.
The transcript is available and this is where I come in.
Well, you are about to hear the actual words of a guy who says he’s an ex military man who has a heck of a tale and he has never been on a show before, so this is breaking. This is the first time. And I was referred to this guy by a regular listener named Barbara Thank you, Barbara, and I want to reiterate something to all of you. I received thousands of emails each week from people who want to come on this show and tell a story, and as a general rule, I usually don’t allow it. And the reason is that I want to be different from everyone else. This is not primarily an interview show.
Josh goes on to describe how he rarely ever has a guest on. He then talks about a test he does to decide if a person is telling the truth, etc. All that said, Josh then introduces Michael Willis who lives in Washington State.Sometime in 2010 or 2011 Michael was hunting in Alabama with a close friend. If you do not live in the United States, Washington is up by Canada on the Pacific side of the country and Huntsville, Alabama is in the deep state in the now named Gulf of America.
It was in Huntsville where the two men encountered a genius loci!
Now it’s important to point out that Michael is a retired sailor with eleven years out at sea with a background in what he called Intel which is basically saying he was in Intelligence not just a regular enlisted sailor. He was also in the Merchant Marines. Michael was also a firearms salesman and range instructor so he was not some desk job guy working in a cubicle all day. This is someone with outdoor survival skills.
Michael goes on to talk about Roman mythology to give the audience an idea of what a genius loci is. Click on the links above. To quote Michael “The Romans believed that if you were strong enough of spirit, like the emperors when they passed away, they would their spirit would guard the empire, or they would guard Rome or Byzantium or certain cities”.
This scene is next to impossible to watch. It is a Thai TV series which aired on Netflix. You can watch it on YouTube with Thai subtitles, but I cannot find a channel that has English. If it ever becomes available again, I highly recommend it. The gist is that the king’s guard is forced to behead his wife who is a temple dancer. He adores her and yet as the temple dancer who is dedicated to the protection of the empire, her soul is the one who must guard the treasure of the kingdom. Once she is chained and beheaded her soul or spirit is stuck and must guard not only the treasure, but she is forced to slaughter (not just kill) evil doers and escort them to HELL!
This is extremely gruesome so be forewarned. The scene takes place Ayutthaya in April 1760 as the Burmese attacked and massacred the Ayutthayan people and foreign merchants on the southern moat. Minkhaung Nawrahta fires cannons into the Ayutthaya citadel, damaging structures including Ekkathat’s royal residence. This temple guard takes his wife into a secret treasure chamber, chains her to the floor and beheads her forcing her soul to guard the temple forever. GORGEOUS filming and costumes but gory. VERY gory. And you have to have some understanding of Thai culture and history to appreciate the script. If you just want to watch a great series for the cinematography and acting, if it’s ever back on, do try to watch it.
So back to Michael. He says that Huntsville, Alabama is known as Rocket City because of their relationship with NASA. Michael and his best friend who had also been in the Navy like to go exploring spooky places. They decided to check out Hell’s Gate. The legend says that if you drive up to this old, beat up, wrought iron gate and park your car, within minutes, a huge black vehicle black truck would appear from down the driveway and chase you away.
The locals tell stories claiming that if the truck ever caught you horrific horrible things would happen to you. So off these two sailors go to see if any of it as true.
They found the area during the day. There were no trespassing signs nor purple stickers on the on the trees. They went home and went on Google Earth to try and look and see if there were any structures. They could not find an owner so they decided to go back at night. Michael drove his truck and parked right in front of the gate.
“For about five minutes, nothing happened. Then we decided to get a little braver and walk up the driveway, which looking back, was not the smartest idea. Being a firearms instructor at the time I was I was carrying and you know, I know, don’t go into the woods without a sidearm in case you run into bears or or worse. And as we were walked up the driveway, we noticed that it overrun there was grass everywhere,about knee high weeds. I mean, there’s no way a car had ever been up and down this driveway for years.
Michael goes on to say that when they got “about a quarter mile in and there was a large field, no trees, no bushes, just a large empty field. Maybe a building had been there a long time ago, but nothing was there now. And we searched all over the area, didn’t find anything, but we were very clearly had a feeling of being watched, that there was something in the woods that was looking at us and watching us, and we decided to try and explore a little further. We decided to go off to one of the nearest paths to the driveway, and as we were walking up the path, I started hearing the sound of the best way I can describe it is like a chittering sound, like a like a chattering sound. No no real no words, just chitter, chitter, chitter like, almost an insect like sound.
And here is where it gets strange.
Michael’s friend told him once they got to safety, that he had started hearing the sound of a large car engine revving. Michael, on the other hand, as they got further into the woods, started seeing things out of the corner of his eyes, darting from tree to tree to tree.
Michael has is terrified of the very thought of alien abduction. A few nights before the two men had watched The Fourth Kind
Michael looked at his friend and I asked if he heard or saw anything. All his friend heard was a truck sound. “I clearly I remember looking up the path just a little bit and I saw what looked to me to be a gray and alien lean out from one of the trees and then go back in”. While talking, Michael spots a gray and says to get out of there. They started walking as fast as they could both hearing something behind them so they started to run.
Michael says “the whole way you could hear these things, something behind us following us. We stopped about and neither one of us were the best of shape, and we stopped for just a few seconds. About half we count the driveway, and I turned around to look at my friend, and standing probably five ft behind him in the middle of this you know, fifteen ft wide, old broke down driveway was what looked like to me, a gray like you’d see in these space movies, and it was reaching out to grab my friend’s shoulder, and I reached out, grabbed my friend, threw him as fast as I could behind me while yelling run, and with my other hand, I drew my side arm, slammed it out and pulled the trigger twice. And as I did that, this thing it just it vibrated like it started shaking, and then it disappeared right in front of my eyes. This thing just disappeared”.
From this point on I urge you to listen to Michael tell the rest. It has all the suspense and drama you could hope for.
Now back to Last Chance Road and the blind curve on gravel and the Black Nissan. I called my friend Melodee to tell her about the accident and she blurted out “I ALMOST got hit by that SUV and I saw it go through the gates racing towards the gravel pit!” Click on the image. This is a Facebook reel I did last summer. Got told to get out I did. I tried to explain I’m from New Jersey and I had never seen anything like this. Didn’t matter. Get out.
So the mystery still hasn’t been solved. WHO drives a black Nissan SUV at what seems like 90 miles per hour on a gravel road paralleling the Humboldt River in Elko, Nevada?
I filmed this last summer when my friends ran out of water. They live off grid and it was super hot out.It’s a 4 minute video so you can see Last Chance Road where Mr. Littell who is in the front seat used to have to hike with his former owner. Now he’s my co-pilot.
