Iraqi security forces are once again under intense international scrutiny, this time for using a strained budget to purchase over 1,500 ADE 651 Units at a cost of up to $60,000 a piece despite the fact that many say it can’t possibly work.

Missing Little Girl was Chased by Mysterious Beams of Light
New developments have arisen in the case of 11 year old Lisa, who is still missing after three witnesses say they were all four chased by mysterious beams of light in the middle of the woods. The chilling encounter spurred a nationwide search across the Ural mountains of Russia, where UFO sightings are commonplace. Since neither the girl, nor her body have been discovered, some are wondering if her disappearance could have been a supernatural occurrence. Incredibly, this is not the first time the Ural mountains have been associated with mysterious beams of light and the death or disappearance of a witness. It has, in fact, happened to nine other people, all dead.

The Legend of Blackbeard
Blackbeard the infamous pirate was known to purposefully elevate his level of notoriety and strike fear into those who came in contact with him.

To enhance his appearance, he lit cannon fuses dipped in lime water or salt peter, and tucked them away under the edge of his hat (or beard). The sight was quite intimidating, as smoke would surround his head.

Bloody Mary and the Psychomanteum
“If you look into a mirror and say the name Bloody Mary thirteen times with the lights out, the ghost of a little girl will fly out and slit your throat,” or so goes one permutation of a tale told again and again throughout history of the legendary folk monster, Bloody Mary, the horror that will come from the other side of the mirror and kill you or maim you if you dare speak her name. Some versions of the story place Bloody Mary as the vengeful ghost of a woman whose children were kidnapped and murdered while others say it was a jilted lover who angrily killed her love interest and then herself in a bloodbath. But staring into mirrors to contact the other side was a method employed long before Bloody Mary.
