Esoterica: Irene Allen-Block Interview / 'The Vine Inn' Investigation - Spirit Rescue International


Ghost whisperer claims Llanelli ‘swimming with paranormal activity’

A Welsh town is a hotbed of evil ghostly activity, alien abductions and animal mutilations, Wales’ only ghost whispering exorcist reveals today.

Irene Allen-Block,  head of Spirit Rescue International (SRI) in Carmarthenshire, told Wales on Sunday that Llanelli is one of a few “hotbeds” of paranormal activity in the world – and is “swimming” with negative energy.

She has investigated dozens of spooky cases across the world with the help of more than 20 volunteers dotted around the US, Australia, New Zealand and further afield.

She reveals today:

She had her first ghostly experience at five when she saw a dead boy when she was playing in the street;

Scores of unexplained sheep and cow mutilations occur across South Wales every year;

She plans to unmask Bigfoot with remote viewing in sighting cluster hotspots across the US;

Blockbuster movie The Sixth Sense was “by far the most realistic” interpretation of paranormal activity ever made for entertainment.

The 60-year-old grandmother-of-two has spent her life investigating and “clearing” spirits from the houses and land of terrified residents who come to her for help.

Her real-life ghost whispering – which she finances out of her own pocket and with the help of volunteers – will be documented in an upcoming book, Among The Spirits.

“My first experience was when I was five years old, and I was playing with a group of other kids in the street,” she said.

“I looked over and saw there was a boy standing there, with blond, curly hair and blue eyes, looking like he was from the 1940s or ’50s. He was just watching us.

“I felt sorry for him and asked him to come and play, but he didn’t answer and just kept watching us.”

She added: “I saw him again a couple of days later and asked him if he wanted to play again, but he just gave me this blank stare. When I asked everyone else to tell him to go away, they just thought I was crazy.

“I thought he was thinking I was stupid and got angry, told him to go away, and he then disappeared. I realised years later that was probably my first clearing.”

She says that nearby Llanelli is built on an underground river, pointing to that as a possible reason for a high level of paranormal activity.

Irene and her colleague Lon Strickler, a spirit rescuer based in Baltimore, have spent two months tackling a demonic spirit terrorising a family of six in the town.

The family in the house report strange noises and moved objects.

The woman who contacted Irene hasn’t been able to sleep properly for three or four months, and her husband once woke up feeling something squeezing his neck, crushing his Adam’s apple.

Videos of her “exorcising” the house are on YouTube, which she says show whistles, chirps and whispered words in Welsh and English. And she said the house was an example of Llanelli’s dark aura.

“There are more cases in Llanelli than anywhere else in Wales,” Mrs Allen-Block says. “It’s a small town but it has a lot of negative feelings.

“I can’t explain what it is, but there is a dark feeling you have when you are there. It’s the opposite in Carmarthen, which has a very positive energy.

“There have been quite a few cases there, and there has been animal mutilations reported in the area – and we are often investigating alien abduction attempts in South Wales and elsewhere, and lots of UFO sightings.”

“I don’t know why it’s got this feeling, but it does.”

Irene – a former dancer and model – says that there are earthbound spirits of dead people that often remain on earth due to unfinished business, such as a missing will.

She happily shares her own house with two earthbound spirits – an Edwardian couple called Herbert and Annie.

But she claims there are the more sinister non-earthbound spirits – residents of another dimension – that are evil and can terrorise families.

Revealing her methods for the first time, Irene said that she can “clear” spirits from houses through “remote viewing” – using cameras, recording equipment – and Skype.

Channelling vibrations – with the aid of a spirit guide – she says she uses Catholic rites and rituals to shift evil spirits after observing them through remote viewing – but said the key was having “faith in what you are doing”.

“Especially with non-earthbound beings, I go after them and use my personality and show my strength,” she said.

“It just builds within me until I know that I’m going to clear it – I really go after it, and just want to knock its lights out.”

She has plans to use the technique to unmask the elusive Bigfoot – who she believes is inter-dimensional being that can move from one domain to another through portals.

Irene said: “There are certain places in the US where he is often seen. It has got a big following out there – and we just need to target one of these places. But I haven’t got round to it yet.”

Dismissing demon-fighting shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and alien series The X-Files, she says that The Sixth Sense was a true reflection of the paranormal.

“I really saw myself in that boy,” she said. “I just thought ‘that’s like my life’.

“When I first watched it, I just thought that it was exactly what it is like, it was by far the most realistic I’ve seen.” - walesonline

Investigator's Report - The Vine Inn, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales

Irene has asked me to come on here and write a report and let you all know my views and feelings towards our night at the Vine Inn.

We arrived shortly after 11pm, wondering what the night was going to hold for us. At first we had to wait for the last few customers to leave before we could start to set up our equipment. They had all left by 11.30pm. Robert, the reporter turned up at 11.10pm, the newspaper had asked us to do the investigation.

By around 11.45 we where ready to get started. When I went for my first walk a round, The area where the pool tables where, was very static, it made my skin tingle. I told Irene this. We discovered another side to the pub, which looked more like Lon had reported seeing in a previous RV. A long bar. We then decided to set up in there instead, plus it was also a lot quieter, as there was remaining staff there, talking etc.

We took some photographs, films with the night vision camera. Listening in on Skype were Lon, Kim and Robin. We had the usual complications with Skype as well.

When Irene asked me to call out, I sat at a table I felt drawn to, and started calling out. We had set two camera's to record this, and when we got to the end of doing this, unbeknown to us, both camera's had switched off. One of our camera's had drained before we even got to use it, and Irene had charged all the equipment up during the afternoon. Strange.

While I was calling out, I started to go cold and my skin started to tingle, I kept on calling out though, I didn't feel scared. Getting towards the end of calling out and still having this feeling over me, I actually started to feel sick. So asked my guide to remove this, and the feeling of nausea passed.

In the pool room where we had seen the black mass, we finished the night in that room. We knew there was a spirit in there, just stuck in that one room, Irene knew it couldn't cross over the line to the bar from the pool room. Irene wanted to calm down things before we left so she asked me to go an find the spirit in the pool room, and she was going to give him a squirt of holy water. I found him to my right hand side near the door, Irene came up behind me, and squirted him AND ME, with holy water. (Don't know what she is trying to say). Got home around 2am. Went to bed at 4.30pm had to have a listen to some of the evidence we where still a bit hyper. - Karen Allan

IT consultant shot himself after clairvoyant gave his suicide plans her blessing and 'invited him back from the afterlife for a cup of tea'

An IT consultant killed himself after a fortune teller gave her 'blessing' to his suicide plan - and told him to come back in the afterlife for a cup of tea, his son said yesterday.

Terence Day, 60, had spiralled into depression after struggling to find work and shot himself in the head just two weeks after seeing psychic Jane Stack.

During the session, he revealed he had planned his suicide and Mrs Stack told him: 'I would understand why you would do that,' an inquest heard.

Mr Day's son, Duncan, said outside the hearing that a CD recording of the session revealed Mrs Stack then said: 'You go with my blessing then,' and added, 'If you do die, come back and have a cup of tea and a chat with me.'

The inquest, in Truro, Cornwall, was told that she did nothing to prevent his death or report his intentions to his family or the authorities.

Mrs Stack, who uses the name Elizabeth English for her work, was subjected to a seven-month police inquiry into whether she had assisted his suicide, but was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing.

But his 35-year-old son criticised Mrs Stack for failing to prevent his father’s death. He said: 'She gave my father her blessing to kill himself.

'At one point in the recording, I heard her say, “If you do die, come back and have a cup of tea and a chat with me.”

'I rang her the day I found out about the CD and she was very unapologetic. She was cold. He went to her for reassurance and she gave him the wrong type.

'She was in a position of trust – people go to her when they are down for guidance – it's not a chance for her to just say what they want to hear.

'She should have raised the alarm. If I'd have known I could have spoken to my dad and perhaps talked him round. The outcome could have been very different.'

The inquest heard how Mr Day, of Bradley Stoke, Bristol, was depressed after struggling to find work for over two years.

Desperate for advice, he searched the internet for clairvoyants and arranged a meeting with Mrs Stack.

After the reading, Mr Day phoned police and told them he was going to take his life. When they responded, officers were greeted with an answerphone message saying they would have to speak to a clairvoyant if they wanted to contact him.

Mr Day’s body was found in a field in Penzance, Cornwall, on July 2 last year, opposite a bungalow he had rented for a week-long break.

During a heated exchange with his son during the hour-long inquest, Mrs Stack said: ‘I was thinking that this is his free will. I had to show acceptance.’

She said her training as a former Samaritan instructed her not to break confidences and added her role was akin to that of a ‘magician’ who made people ‘happy and upbeat’.

His son said: ‘So when someone tells you they’re going to kill themselves, you just do nothing.’ She replied: ‘I’m an entertainer.’

Detective Constable Eavan Clarke told the hearing: ‘The CD initially changed the complexion of the investigation – if it was an assisted suicide.’

But inquiries found there was no evidence of a third-party involvement.
The coroner recorded a verdict of suicide. - dailymail

Esoterica: Psychic Predicted Where Caylee Would Be Found and Llanelli Poltergeist Update

Casey Anthony case: Psychic predicted where Caylee would be found

A private investigator testified on Monday at the Casey Anthony murder trial that a psychic directed him to the wooded area where the remains of Ms. Anthony’s two-year-old daughter were found a month later.

But he said he saw nothing that looked like the remains of the toddler, Caylee.

Dominic Casey said he was working for Ms. Anthony’s parents, George and Cindy, in November 2008, trying to track down leads about the possible whereabouts of Caylee. He had also done prior work as an investigator for Ms. Anthony’s defense attorney, Jose Baez.

Mr. Casey told the jury that he went to the wooded area not far from the Anthony home after being contacted by a psychic who advised him that Caylee’s remains were in the vicinity of three white paving stones.

He went three times to the area on Nov. 15 and 16 and appears to have walked directly over the place the body was later found on Dec. 11.

Earlier on Monday, James Hoover, an investigator who worked with Mr. Casey, narrated a video he took of the private investigator walking through the woods and using a metal probe to search for buried remains. No remains were found.

At one point, defense attorney Baez asked Mr. Hoover: “Did you just see that fallen tree that was there?”

“I see the paver that we were looking for,” he answered, watching the video. Then he added: “Oh yeah, it is right there on the video.”

It is unclear whether the video recorded the same fallen tree that Orange County Sheriff’s Office crime scene investigators have repeatedly mentioned – and at one point moved – to gain better access to some of Caylee’s remains in mid-December.

The video and related testimony is potentially significant to the defense case because it seems to support a defense theory that Caylee’s remains were placed in the wooded area much later than prosecutors have said.

In November 2008, Casey Anthony was already in jail having been charged with the murder of her daughter. Mr. Baez is hoping Monday’s testimony raises questions in the minds of the jurors. If Caylee’s remains were not in the wooded area in mid-November, where were they? More important, if they were moved, who moved them to the woods where they were discovered in mid-December?

Baez has suggested that Roy Kronk, the man who directed police to the wooded area on Dec. 11, may have moved or hidden the body. Mr. Kronk had initially called police about the body in August, but investigators ignored the tip because the area had already been searched by a deputy with a cadaver dog.

The developments came on the 10th day of the defense case and the 29th day of the trial underway in an Orlando courtroom.

Casey Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in the disappearance and death of her daughter. If convicted she faces a possible death sentence.

Also on Monday, Chief Judge Belvin Perry revealed the cause of Saturday’s abrupt and mysterious recess in the trial. He said defense attorneys had moved to have Ms. Anthony declared mentally incompetent.

Judge Perry appointed three psychologists to conduct independent evaluations of Ms. Anthony on Saturday and Sunday. After reviewing their reports, the judge declared the defendant competent to stand trial. - csmonitor

Llanelli Case Update - Poltergeist! - Spirit Rescue International

Saturday, June 25, 2011 - On-site Investigation in Llanelli, South Wales

At the location: Irene, Karen, Bev (the client), 2 non-resident family members

On Skype: Lon, Kim (microphones muted unless conversing with Irene)

There was an initial discussion of the current phenomenon. Bev has been seeing movement. A lit candle was knocked off a table in the bedroom. She’s heard breathing in her ear, and noises in the son’s room (which they have been staying out of). She’s also seen a pitch black shadowy mass. And the baby is still seeing what she calls “boyz” up by the bedroom. She cries if it (they?) come near her.
Bev says there are handprints on two doors in the house, one upstairs, and one downstairs. She takes Irene and Karen to see and photograph them. They leave the computer set up and running in the living room which sits right under the boy's bedroom. The hall and stairs are right outside of the living room. These are the areas where most of the activity has been taking place. Through Skype we can hear snaps, clicks, and faint whistles. It cannot be determined which entity is doing the whistling.

Irene, Karen, and Bev return from upstairs. Irene says she may have seen an orb in the bedroom, as it was not behaving like dust.

Lon suggests they place a night vision camera upstairs between the bedrooms, shooting out toward the stairs. He feels some movement on or near the stairs.
Karen is upstairs trying to film in the boy’s bedroom, where the orb may have been seen. She notes that while in that room she felt very uneasy. The room was considerably colder than any other room in the house. As she walked in the door just to cross the room to get to the window sill where they were leaving the camera and Dictaphone, her skin was tingling. Later she went back in the room and sat on the bed to call out. Once she had begun, she started to get a headache and her heartbeat began to quicken. She could feel pulsing in her head and her left ear was buzzing. She asked her guide to remove it and after maybe 30 seconds it stopped.

Irene returns to the living room with Bev. They begin to see an image of an old fashioned, circular shaped clock on the wall. There is now a definite image of a clock on the wall. (Note: in my handwritten notes, I have written “fall” instead of “wall”, which I immediately noticed and corrected, but thought was quite odd.) There is no such real clock in the home, and the wall does not have a reflective surface. This image persisted for some time. Bev is not filming at this point, but can see the image in her viewer. Irene asks her to record it if she can. She will forward any evidence that she has captured to Lon.

Family member begins calling out in Welsh to try to elicit a response. On Skype we are hearing what sounds like more than one voice in the background. Kim thinks she heard something that sounded like one chime of a cuckoo clock. There are more sounds like birds chirping now, and a loud popping noise. Karen is still upstairs taking pictures of the wardrobe.

Everyone has again left the living room, and the room is relatively quiet, lots of background noises, but nothing that stands out dramatically happens.

Irene, Karen, and Bev have returned to the living room. Bev recounts how she had gone to put her camera down on top of the television and saw the reflection of the clock in it. Someone comments that it has become quite cold in the living room now. Kim asks if Irene could see a time on the clock image. Irene says the clock did have hands, and that it was either about quarter to two, or ten past nine.

At this point they are setting up on the staircase to record, and are working on sending Lon audio of the horse sounds Bev had recorded previously.

They are going to try to get a response by whistling. As they begin whistling the background noise heard through Skype picks up, including whistles, snaps, pops, etc. Kim thinks she hears a male voice in the background as well, possibly saying Lon’s name again.

Lon says he can see a boy in the room now, right near the doorway. He also sees a girl walking down the stairs holding hands with something that just appears as light. They walk down the hallway and the girl is now gone. The boy is gone as well now.

Irene returns to the living room and we converse about what has happened. Irene has just walked a young girl down the stairs and to the kitchen and told her to go the light. She did not cross over the boy. Lon describes him as about 10 or 11 years old, and dressed in knickers. Irene says she still feels the presence of a man in the house.

Karen is seeing a shadow behind Irene. She cannot see it the camera. Irene says he’s shifted. The shadow is not showing up in the pictures they are taking. Irene can feel something behind her now. Her head is down and it has its head up. She is trying to move it, and asks Lon to tell her if it goes. Bev says it is still there. The night vision camera is not picking it up. Bev sits next to Irene on the settee. Karen can see two shadows now, one big, one smaller. Irene and Bev have about a 6” height difference, but the shadow behind Irene is a good 3’ to 4’ higher than Bev’s. They are trying to get it on camera, but cannot capture an image of it. Lon hears “Single Scotch Whiskey.” It is getting cold in the room again. Lon also feels the cold. Karen tells Irene that the shadow is “plain as day.” It has its hands up over its head. It is clearly there in person. The camera has now stopped taking pictures entirely. The shadow is still behind Irene against the wall. As Irene moves from side to side, the shadow is not moving; more evidence that it is not being cast by her. It seems to be playing with Irene’s hair.

Irene comments that she initially thought that one would be a push-over, but “Boy was she wrong!” Lon says this one has an attitude. Irene isn’t speaking nicely about it. She explains that if he was human she would never swear at it, but his entity has never lived on the earth plane.

Lon sees a tall man in a Fedora. The guy is a drinker, and he’s an “ass.” He has a real attitude problem, Lon says. He appears to be sitting but there is nothing underneath him supporting him. Lon is getting green and pink lights again. Irene notes that the only light in the room is coming from the laptop which is 2” from being closed. She says it is just standing there, and that she could do something with it if it would come at her, but he isn’t moving. Lon says the guy has a big grin on his face; also that he’s a younger man.

Lon says the man is standing up now. He is taller than Irene. Lon also feels he is not an earthbound. He says there is a “hollow void” to this thing. Lon says it’s moving now. Irene says it has been standing there 8” off of her hip, and shifted when she picked up the Holy water. She thinks it has gone out of the room. The camera which turned itself off, has switched itself back on again.

Irene, Karen, and Bev have all left the living room now. The room is initially quiet, but again the knocks and chirps, and snaps pick up again. Irene came back in the room briefly to see if we’ve heard anything. As Lon is telling her we’d heard bangs, they hear one in the hallway. Irene goes back out into the hallway.
Kim hears footsteps approaching the computer. Irene comes back into the living room and asks if we heard that. Kim tells her she heard footsteps and thought it was one of them coming to do something with the computer. It was not. Irene has been standing still in the hallway and heard the same thing. No one else is in that area.

There are more footsteps heard, bangs, scraping sounds, and a loud pop, as well as breathing in the microphone of the computer.

Irene, Karen, and Bev have now returned to the living room, and are trying to access if anything has been moved. In the background Lon and Kim can both hear other voices, at least one of which sounds male. Bev sees that her charger has been moved from behind the settee on the floor, out 4’ into the middle of the room. They test the sound of it sliding. It sounds exactly like the scraping noise, with the charger hitting something (table leg?) as it slid. Bev then notices that a table lamp that was sitting on the floor has also been moved. They test this for sound comparison also. It is similar, but there was also a much louder sound. Bev next spots a surround sound speaker that has been moved out of line from where she normally has them, as well. They test it for the sound, and it is without question the louder sound that both Lon and Kim heard.

The investigation is wrapped up for the night. As a final dig at them, after all the equipment had been packed away, the entity gave them one final loud whistle as if mocking them.

NOTE: thanks to Kim for keeping notes during this ordeal. We are now going to classify this as a malevolent non-human haunting or, basically, a poltergeist. Though these type hauntings are rare, the classic signs are there in this instance. Many times these entities will hide or remain dormant...then suddenly start to act up. There have also been new developments that suggest that this may very well be the beginning of increased activity. Below are a few more EVPs from that evening. Stay tuned for further details...Lon

-----

Here are a few EVPs...turn up the volume and use headphones. I didn't want to distort by adding volume:

The 1st clip is from the sons' bedroom

Bedroom - 6/25/2011

The 2nd clip is from the living room. Irene is attempting to find the entity (which is on the YouTube audio/video above) but this was from a second voice recorder near Irene. A minute or so before she located the entity I was able to find a few EVPs. It sounds to me it may be mocking her.

Living Room - 6/25/2011

You definitely need headphones for this one...but it is an astonishing EVP.

Spiritual / Paranormal Activity News: Spirit Rescue International Case Update and 'Poltergeist' Star's Real Haunted House

Hunterdon County, New Jersey Malevolent Haunting - Spirit Rescue International

Irene and I conducted a remote view session on Wednesday April 6th. Several SRI team members listened to the session live via Skype. This synopsis will be brief.

The RV was done in 5 phases including a few other exercises in order to isolate and clear the opposing entity, which was a middle-aged male with a long full beard, dark clothing and heavy boots...as well as a very nasty disposition. There was also a teenage female spirit who was likely married in real-life to the male entity...possibly an arranged union. The female spirit was 'kept' and obsessed on by the male spirit in life and in death.

To make a long story short, Irene was able to move this male spirit away from the location...the female spirit may be moved later, though it seems not to be causing problems in the household.

The client was contacted by us immediately following the RV and advised of the session and given follow-up / support information.

I invite those SRI member who witnessed the RV session to comment on the proceedings and add their recollections...Lon

NOTE: the SRI team members synopsis' on this case are posted at Hunterdon County, New Jersey Malevolent Haunting. Access to Spirit Rescue International case logs requires registration.

Poltergeist star: I grew up in REAL haunted house

sundaymercury - The child star of the terrifying Poltergeist films has revealed he grew up in a REAL haunted house.

Oliver Robins played Robbie Freeling in the classic horror movie in 1982 and in the sequel four years later.

But he told the Sunday Mercury that he had experienced ghouls for real when he was a boy – and channelled that fear during the filming of the blockbusters.

“I grew up in a townhouse in New York up until the age of seven and it was haunted,” Oliver explained during an appearance at the NEC’s Spring Memorabilia show last weekend.

“It was built in the 1870s and there was definitely a presence. I could hear footsteps going up and down the stairs, although I never actually saw anything.

“As a child I think you are more open to that sort of thing.”

And when it came to filming the scary scenes in Poltergeist, it was those chilling memories he thought of.

“I was never really scared during filming because there was so much going on,’’ he recalled.

“We did know we were in something very scary, but we had no idea what that fear was going to embody until we went to the first screening of the movie months later.

“When it came down to the horror scenes, the director told us that we had to think of something that frightened us. I immediately thought back to when I lived in this house and how scared I was. I guess it worked.”

But the movies were said to be hit by the ‘Curse of Poltergeist’ after a succession of stars died during, and after the completion of, the two films, as well as a final movie.

Dominique Dunne, who played eldest daughter Dana, died in 1982 aged 22, after being strangled by her abusive boyfriend.

Julian Beck, who starred as Henry Kane in the sequel, passed away in 1985 of stomach cancer.

Will Sampson, 53, aka Taylor the Medicine Man, died as a result of post-operative kidney failure two years later.

But the most shocking tragedy saw child star Heather O’Rourke, who played Carol Anne, pass away in 1988 aged just 12. She fell victim to septic shock after bacterial toxins invaded her bloodstream.

Oliver has not succumbed to the ‘curse’ and is now a writer and director – and hopes to make a mock horror movie one day. “I could definitely make a spoof film,’’ he said.

‘‘I think they’re great and there have already been quite a few incorporating Poltergeist. Maybe that’s next on the list...”

Proponents of ancient astronaut theories often maintain that humans are either descendants or creations of beings who landed on Earth thousands of years ago. The most popular theory is that human knowledge, religion, and culture came from extraterrestrial visitors in ancient times. Ancient astronauts have been widely used as a plot device in science fiction, but the idea that ancient astronauts actually existed is not taken seriously by most academics.

Arguments can be made that the evidence for ancient astronauts comes from supposed gaps in historical and archaeological records, and they also maintain that absent or incomplete explanations of historical or archaeological data point to the existence of ancient astronauts. The evidence is said to include archaeological artifacts that are beyond the presumed technical capabilities of the historical cultures with which they are associated. This also includes artwork and legends that are interpreted as depicting extraterrestrial contact or technologies.

Notwithstanding these contentions, let us say that there is an axiom to the ancient astronaut theory. Then we need to ask, who were these beings? What did they represent to the inhabitants of earth? Where these beings the ancient Gods of antiquity?

I would like to periodically chronicle my speculation of how the native people interpreted these unknown entities, starting with RA, the Eye of the Sun.

P'TAH (Gods of Heaven came to Earth from the Celestial Disk) installed as Egypt's first Divine Ruler his own son RA. Once known as ATUM, he is probably the most important of Egyptian Gods and sails across the sky in his solar boat. The legend goes that mankind was formed from RA's tears. Need confirmation? Look above from the hot desert sands at the Sun...that's his all-powerful eye bearing down on you.

Ancient Egyptian legends tell of Tep Zepi, or the First Time. This is described as an age when "sky gods" came down to Earth and raised the land from mud and water. They supposedly flew through the air in flying "boats" and brought laws and wisdom to man through a royal line of pharaohs.

RA is said to have an unusual relationship with his wife, the Sky Goddess NUT. In the evening he sails through her mouth and then has to battle through her nightmare insides (The Milky Way). RA wends his way through twelve gates at the rate of one per hour avoiding malevolent monsters including the Snake God APEP who lies in wait hoping to go snatch him up. Once these perils are transversed, he then surfaces via NUT's birth canal to greet the new day. He's not alone in his journey. Other Gods - THOTH, MAAT, HATHOR, HORUS are the top cohorts, with ABTU, ANET and KHEPRI closely watching for trouble. The night boat is called Mantchet, and a day boat called Semketet, which they board in order to make their rounds. NUT gave birth to OSIRIS. At the time of OSIRIS' birth, a loud voice was heard all over the world, saying, "The lord of all the earth is born."

Many Gods try to emulate RA by adding his name to theirs for added glory. The most notable of these was AMUN-RA.

RA is the only god, apart from OSIRIS, who is definitely said to be not on the earth. RA, it is said, is an aging god, still powerful, but too old to deal with his children any longer, so he has gone exclusively to the sky to watch over the world. HORUS rules over the earth and the gods in his stead, demonstrating the divine right of kingship.

In the New Kingdom the god AMUN rose to prominence and was fused with RA as AMUN-TA. During the Amarna Period, Akhenaten suppressed the cult of RA in favour of another solar deity, the ATEN, the deified solar disc, but after the death of Akhenaten the cult of RA was restored.

What can be extracted for this information. Despite the building of elaborate structures like the Great Pyramid or the knowledge of technology even before their use of the wheel, the Egyptians were a remarkable civilization with a rich and vibrant history. If they were helped by so-called ancient astronauts, it would not take away any of their greatness and inspiration they have left for subsequent generations.
