Hannah’s talents as an artist are obvious and the world will continue to see great things from her; Thank you to those fellow writers, researchers, and webmasters who have given me much support, advice, and constructive criticism over the years, including: The late Mark Chorvinsky, Fortean researcher, author and editor of the great Strange Magazine, who, back in the early 1990’s, printed one of my “letters to the editor” in his magazine and then gave me my first real break into the world of writing by insisting that I provide him with more material. Without Mark’s influence, this book might not ever have been written and I owe him my deepest thanks. Mark will be greatly missed; Kenn Thomas, author and editor of Steamshovel Press magazine which served both as an inspiration and as a vehicle for me to get my writing out to the conspiracy-minded public; Jake Wark, author and webmaster of the This is the Zodiac Speaking website for his invaluable help when I was conducting research into the Zodiac murders case; Jake is a fine writer himself and one of the friendliest people I have ever met; Michael F. Cole, for allowing me to quote extensively from his Zodiac research for this book. Mike’s theories on the Zodiac killer are a must read for anyone who has an interest in that case. A special thank you to the following contributors of information to this book: Tom Wolfe, Amanda Lane, Sharon and Rob Jordan, for their kindness in sharing their experiences on Palmyra Island with me; Process Church of the Final Judgment members Brother Isaiah and Sister Angela, who agreed to be interviewed by me and who provided intelligent and thoughtful answers to my questions about their group’s religion and beliefs; Michael Mountain, President of Best Friends Animal Society for taking the time to grant me an interview for this book and for answering my questions about the history of The Process Church. Special recognition goes out to: John Keel, Loren Coleman, and Douglas Chapman, fellow Fortean researchers and writers with whom I feel I share the same outlook and approach to pursuits of matters weird and unexplained; all have served as direct inspiration to my own work. Deathrock greetings to my old band-mates from The Tombstones: Stevie T., Jack Ross, and Pat Parker. Brotherly thanks from Sailor Curt to all of the boys in the Hillbilly Thunder motorcycle club: Rooster, M.D., Devil Bob, Speed-Bump and Skins (Triumph Motorcycles Forever!) Divine inspiration for this book is attributed to: Mark Twain, John Steinbeck, and Edgar Allan Poe. And finally, this book is dedicated to the memory of my dear departed brother, Fredrick Raymond Williams. I’ll see you on the other side someday, old friend. Alis volat propriis. (He flies on his own wings). Author’s Introduction The book you are now reading is a compilation of most of the articles that have appeared on my website, Labyrinth13, since its original debut on the Internet in 1999. However, this, the “book version” of Labyrinth13, contains many new updates, along with added footnotes, new appendixes, and original interviews with key figures in the stories. (Some of the articles featured on Labyrinth13 have also previously appeared in other publications, most notably in the book Popular Paranoia by Kenn Thomas and the magazines Fortean Times, Paranoia, Strange Magazine and Steamshovel Press). At its original inception, the Labyrinth13 website was created simply as a vehicle to allow me to present my writing to a reading audience without having to compromise my artistic freedom to any editor and to avoid the hassle of trying to get published in what was then (and still is) a highly competitive market. (This was prior to the advent of such novel ideas as “print on demand” books). Favorable responses from readers of the Labyrinth13 website and its contents over the years finally convinced me to take the next step and put all of the website material together into a workable manuscript and ultimately, see it published as a proper book. (And yes, I am one of those “old school” readers who still prefers to hold a book or magazine in my hands while doing any serious reading. And most of the visitors to the website over the years emphasized to me that they shared the same preference). Although a few of the tales in Labyrinth13 have already been the subject of detailed books by other authors, I felt that some of the lesser- explored facts in those narratives were of such an intriguing nature that they deserved closer inspection. This book’s purpose is to provide a brief overview of such stories, while zeroing in on any areas of unsolved mystery that may still remain. For example, Chapter 6 of this book, The Curse of Palmyra Island, came about as a result of my reading Vincent T. Bugliosi’s outstanding true crime novel And the Sea Will Tell, the story of the grisly 1974 double murder that took place on an isolated, South Pacific atoll. In that book, the author continuously made references to a supposed “curse” or malevolent aura that the island seemed to possess. That was certainly enough enticement to make me want to take a closer look and I began digging into the alleged supernatural aspects of the story. As my research led me deeper into the history of the island, I learned that strange events had always been associated with Palmyra and that weird occurrences began much, much earlier than the 1974 murders that And the Sea Will Tell was based on (and similar unusual events have continued afterward). The Curse of Palmyra Island simply focuses in on the paranormal angle to the story in all the places where And the Sea Will Tell leaves off, providing one example of how an excursion into the labyrinth can sometimes really give a whole new perspective on things. (Since the first publishing of The Curse of Palmyra Island story on my website, I have been contacted by quite a few people who have either visited Palmyra or lived there for short periods of time. Most have had similar stories to tell, i.e., that they found Palmyra to be nothing short of the paradise it most surely is and that they had no sense of anything being out of the ordinary. And I don’t doubt that fact for a second and suspect that most people’s experiences there would probably be along similar lines. However, my story was written simply to point out what I saw as an intriguing series of weird synchronicities associated with the place. It is just how my mind works). In addition to numerous sailors and yachting people who had visited Palmyra and servicemen who were stationed there during World War II, I was also contacted by Ted Cooper, the great-grandson of the late Judge Henry Ernest Cooper Sr. of Hawaii, whose family (at the time of our correspondence) still owned part of Palmyra Island. Ted supplied me with critical data about Palmyra’s ownership history and with information about the atoll itself. I also corresponded briefly with Vincent Bugliosi, author of And the Sea Will Tell, who very kindly answered my questions concerning the remaining mysteries associated with Palmyra and the murders that occurred there. Similarly, I was also contacted by and conducted interviews with Rob and Sharon Jordan, the South African yachting couple who actually discovered the remains of murder victim Muff Graham on Palmyra. Later I was to discover personally just how the “supernatural aura” of Palmyra really does seem to affect the lives of all who come into contact with it.

  • America's Fascination with Multiple Murder
    CHAPTER ONE AMERICA’S FASCINATION WITH MULTIPLE MURDER he break of dawn on November 16, 1957, heralded the start of deer hunting T season in rural Waushara County, Wisconsin. The men of Plainfield went off with their hunting rifles and knives but without any clue of what Edward Gein would do that day. Gein was known to the 647 residents of Plainfield as a quiet man who kept to himself in his aging, dilapidated farmhouse. But when the men of the vil- lage returned from hunting that evening, they learned the awful truth about their 51-year-old neighbor and the atrocities that he had ritualized within the walls of his farmhouse. The first in a series of discoveries that would disrupt the usually tranquil town occurred when Frank Worden arrived at his hardware store after hunting all day. Frank’s mother, Bernice Worden, who had been minding the store, was missing and so was Frank’s truck. But there was a pool of blood on the floor and a trail of blood leading toward the place where the truck had been garaged. The investigation of Bernice’s disappearance and possible homicide led police to the farm of Ed Gein. Because the farm had no electricity, the investigators con- ducted a slow and ominous search with flashlights, methodically scanning the barn for clues. The sheriff’s light suddenly exposed a hanging figure, apparently Mrs. Worden. As Captain Schoephoerster later described in court: Mrs. Worden had been completely dressed out like a deer with her head cut off at the shoulders.

  • It's Hip to Unzip Open Land Communes and Their Neighbours
    “It’s Hip to Unzip”: Open Land Communes and Their Neighbours in Northern California, 1966-1979 by John Stuart Miller B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2016 © John Stuart Miller, 2016 Abstract This essay considers the histories of two countercultural, back-to-the-land communes located in northern California: Siskiyou County’s Black Bear Ranch and Sonoma County’s Morning Star Ranch. Both of these communes were highly influenced by the concept of Open Land, according to which anyone may freely live in a given space, particularly those individuals rejected or alienated by urban modernity. I examine the ways in which these communes related to and were shaped by their rural neighbours, as well as the local state, asserting the importance of the surrounding community in effecting events at each commune. I argue that positive relations with neighbours determined the continued viability of these communes, and that these positive relations in turn required a compromise of original founding principles including Open Land. I further uncover the changing perceptions rural people held of hippie communards, and contextualize the back-to-the-land ideal within broader American traditions of frontier settlement and reinvention. !ii Preface This thesis is entirely the original, unpublished, and independent work of the author, John

  • Interview J. Berman Commune (PDF)
    Interview with Jonathan Berman, Director of COMMUNE How did you get the idea for the film and was there something specific that inspired you? I grew up on Long Island in the 1960’s around that environment. You know just being a kid growing up around the 60’s and 70’s; this environment of the counterculture was always in the air, even in suburbia – maybe especially in suburbia. As I became a teenager I started to get into the music of Jimmy Hendrix and all that, playing keyboards and in rock bands. So I always had that warm feeling towards that whole world as an alternative to us and the bland world of suburban Long Island life. I was always intrigued by that and then was a Deadhead and into various counterculture ideas. The politics attracted me, and so when I was searching for my next project, I met this eccentric producer and was telling him about my film I was planning about barbequing in the Carolinas and he, being a New York no-nonsense eccentric: “I just don’t like that idea” and I said, “Well, what do you like?” because when you find, a co- producer, it is a good thing, and he said, “Well I like things that are off the grid” which literally means off the electric grid, that is alternative culture on the fringe. So that idea of things very much resonated with me, the idea of things being “off the grid.” How did you come into contact with the people of Black Bear Ranch? Well after that night, I did some reading and came across a book on the 60’s communes literally called “The Sixties Communes” by Tim Miller, a professor and read a few pages on Black Bear Ranch and said to myself, “this is it.” I saw Black Bear as the epicenter of all the benevolent anarchy and theatricality and counter culture ideas that speak to me.

  • Carr Lodge Mansion, Horbury, Wakefield Wf4 5He
    CARR LODGE MANSION, HORBURY, WAKEFIELD WF4 5HE A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Grade II listed mansion house in need of restoration to provide a family home. Price on Application Location The Mansion is located in the public park of Carr Lodge Park, close to the centre of Horbury. Located in the heart of West Yorkshire, Horbury lies to the west of Wakefield, set on the hill overlooking the valley of the River Calder. Horbury still regards itself as a village as opposed to a small town but enjoys the benefits of both. Recorded in the Doomsday book, Horbury has a fascinating history and boasts some fine Georgian and industrial architecture indicative of its past. With a thriving town centre offering an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, stunning views over the Calder Valley and walks along the Calder and Hebble Canal, Horbury has much to offer. Situated three miles to the South West of Wakefield and approximately two miles to the South of neighbouring Ossett; Horbury enjoys an excellent location being only 2 miles from the M1 Motorway at Junction 41. With only a 10 minute drive to Wakefield Westgate mainline railway station, Horbury is convenient for the commuter or day-tripper. History Carr Lodge Mansion was originally built between 1770 and 1775 for John Bayldon, a successful Wakefield merchant, and was called Sunroyd House. In 1790, the house was bought by John Carr, a solicitor in the area, and was thereafter known as Carr Lodge Mansion. The house was temporary used in the Second World War by the MoD.

  • Lost Knowledge of the Imagination
    Praise for Gary Lachman “The Lost Knowledge of the Imagination rejoins the parted Red Sea of modern intellect, demonstrating how rationalism and esotericism are not divided forces but necessary complements and parts of a whole in the human wish for understanding. More still, he elevates the relevancy of spiritual philosophies that we are apt to short-shrift, from Crowley to positive thinking, and issues a warning: If thoughts are causative, it is all the more vital that we, the thinkers, know ourselves.” Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life “A cracking author.” Lynn Picknett, Magonia Review of Books “Lachman is an easy to read author yet has a near encyclopaedic knowledge of esotericism and is hence able to offer many different perspectives on the subject at hand.” Living Traditions magazine “Lachman’s sympathetic, but not uncritical, account of [Rudolf Steiner’s] life is to be recommended to anyone who wishes to be better informed about this gifted and remarkable man.” Kevin Tingay, The Christian Parapsychologist “Lachman challenges many contemporary theories by reinserting a sense of the spiritual back into the discussion” Leonard Schlain, author of The Alphabet Versus the Goddess “Lachman’s depth of reading and research are admirable.” Scientific and Medical Network Review For Kathleen Raine (1908-2003), who showed the way Contents Title Page Dedication Acknowledgments Chapter One: A Different Kind of Knowing Chapter Two: A Look Inside the World Chapter Three: The Knower and the Known Chapter Four: The Way Within Chapter Five: The Learning of the Imagination Chapter Six: The Responsible Imagination Further Reading Also by Gary Lachman Copyright Acknowledgments My thanks go to my editor Christopher Moore for taking on the project and to the staff of the British Library where most of the research was done.

  • “'The Paranoia Was Fulfilled' – an Analysis of Joan Didion's
    “‘THE PARANOIA WAS FULFILLED’ – AN ANALYSIS OF JOAN DIDION’S ESSAY ‘THE WHITE ALBUM’” Rachele Colombo Independent Scholar ABSTRACT This article looks at Joan Didion’s essay “The White Album” from the collection of essays The White Album (1979), as a relevant text to reflect upon America’s turmoil in the sixties, and investigate in particular the subject of paranoia. “The White Album” represents numerous historical events from the 1960s, but the central role is played by the Manson Murders case, which the author considers it to be the sixties’ watershed. This event–along with many others–shaped Didion’s perception of that period, fueling a paranoid tendency that reflected in her writing. Didion appears to be in search of a connection between her growing anxiety and these violent events throughout the whole essay, in an attempt to understand the origin of her paranoia. Indeed, “The White Album” deals with a period in Didion’s life characterized by deep nervousness, caused mainly by her increasing inability to make sense of the events surrounding her, the Manson Murders being the most inexplicable one. Conse- quently, Didion seems to ask whether her anxiety and paranoia are justified by the numerous violent events taking place in the US during the sixties, or if she is giving a paranoid interpretation of com- pletely neutral and common events. Because of her inability to find actual connections between the events surrounding her, in particular political assassinations, Didion realizes she feels she is no longer able to fulfill her main duty as a writer: to tell a story.
