MYSTERY MUSEUM LOCK IN!

Join us for Ghost Poker! (no money but with real antique poker chips!)

If you dare!

Welcome to the Museum Lockin!
You will be participating in our ongoing paranormal investigation of our resident ghost, Peter Alexander Dunnovitch. We are using a variety of ghost research tools employed from the Nineteenth Century to the present time. According to the precepts of American Spiritualism, your active and willing participation is very important and much appreciated by all of us here at the Museum, both those of us "on this side of the veil" and those of us "with us In Spirit".
Why are we playing poker? Through volunteer sensitives (psychics) we have learned that Alexander (he preferred to be called Alexander over Peter) was a gambler who played here when this building was a speakeasy during Prohibition.
We have had EMF readings rise during games of "ghost poker" as we attract Alexander's presence through the familiar sounds of riffling cards and clicking chips. You'll notice we have at Alexander's place at the table a drink and his favorite "coffin nails". Alexander likes ladies with a bit of sass to them, but he prefers them to behave as ladies with respect to their language and deportment; he seems also to like gentlemen who are "sports" who know their cardplaying.


Traditional Forms of Spirit Communication: EMF fluctuations Direct manipulation of electric equipment EVP Rapping, scratching, or creaking sounds Drop in temperature Unexplained movement of objects Cool breezes Tingling sensation Odors (tobacco, perfume) Sounds (including music) Direct psychic impressions.


Nikola Tesla - what our ghost is said to look like!

Dare to be locked into the museum - one of Seattle's most haunted buildings 10-Midnight and tour the back hallways and areas of Seattle's first post-prohibition bar!

Lock in also includes a stop over to the Northwest's most haunted theater - the Harvard Exit.
Ghost history of Capitol Hill, Seattle and the Northwest haunts, Ghost Stories, and ghost hunting while you try and solve the mystery of the building's own ghost - Peter Alexander Dunnovitch. Nothing staged, dare to experience any strange sounds, smells and sightings that appear.
Only for the brave at heart ages 8 and up. Children must be accompanied by a brave adult. If you dare!

NEWS!

UFO Hunters - an Embarrrassment to UFOlogy
by Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson
Seattle UFO Paranormal Group
2/6/08

If one thought UFO Hunters on the History Channel defined UFO researchers, rest assured they they do not. Aside from a basic recounting of the story of the Maury Island Incident, the first show of this series is about how four guys can do a shallow job of not only research but investigating. But perhaps that was their intent, to disinform by embarrassing themselves and the field of UFOlogy. The best that can be said about the new UFO Hunters show on the Maury Island sighting was that they used interesting fonts and had a few decent graphics.

The spokesmen for the show, Bill Birnes and his geek gang basically got overly excited by trivial matters such as diving into the frigid waters of Puget Sound to collect ordinary rocks, and finding airplane parts that had already been found and reported upon six months earlier by the Seattle UFO/Paranormal Group.

What they neglected could fill volumes. There was hardly a mention of Kenneth Arnold whose sighting over Mt. Rainier is when media coined the term ³flying saucer² and his investigation of the the Maury Island incident. There was also no mention of Fred Crisman, a key character and witness to the case who had a notorious background in CIA matters and had been linked to the Kennedy Assassination. Unfortunately, the ³UFO Hunters seemed to focus on a ³gee-whiz² approach, pretty much neglecting the importance of the story which had featured the first appearance of the Men in Black, involved one of the first disinformation campaigns by the military and a mysterious informant to the local papers and much more. There was no mention of the work of Maury Island researcher Kenn Thomas and no interviews with any persons who have historically studied the case.

If they were going for ratings, they failed there too. A few reenactments would have helped. But understand obviously the show was about them, not the history and obviously this was low budget. Instead we get to hear Pat Uskert¹s complain about his dive into the cold water¹s of Puget Sound for a futile look for slag along the miles and miles of Maury Island¹s shores. His dedication though is steadfast as he states the importance of the case and that ³No stone should go unturned². I can only imagine Bill Birnes yelling at Pat to keep looking until he comes up with something! One diver, with no information or indication where the slag is, no sonar data as reference, sifting through the rocks with his hands. What are the chances he would find evidence of slag that may or may not have been dumped sixty years ago? But behold, Pat surfaces with a quarter size black rock for the crew!

Easily mistaken for evidence we later see Ted ³Mr. MIT² Acworth stating this is only igneous rock as he casually tosses the rock from hand to hand. No chemical spectrometer lab testing needed for this sample! No siree! Its nice to know fine upstanding graduates of our finest Universities using their utmost skills in making such academic assessments. I am left to consider if Ted is making a slight dig at Pat. Perhaps but it is possible that Pat Uskert is still diving in Puget Sound as he ³..overturns every stone². If you knew nothing about Maury Island, and were half asleep by the TV, they might have finished the job for you, along with providing a couple scenic pictures of Puget Sound. Not surprising, the show failed on many levels. There was little information, no entertainment, and boring participants who they themselves did not seem to enjoy their roles. But I guess after hearing Bill Birnes bark so much, I guess I too would be annoyed.

Our recommendation is check any case first hand with material in books and on the internet - it will be vastly more rewarding.

Seattle Museum of the Mysteries is proud to present the first wax head opening Seattle's new wax museum. The first figure will be that of one of the most notorious figures in Northwest History, D.B. Cooper.
D.B. Cooper as dubbed by the media hijacked a plane in 1971, bailed out with $200,000 in cash over the Northwest. Today this hijacking has remained the world's only unsolved hijacking, still an open FBI case and one of Washington State's largest manhunts. No photographs of D.B. Cooper exist and all that is known is an FBI sketch. The museum believes the merit of a three dimensional wax figure head will give a more accurate depiction to the public in hopes of discovering his identity. According to FBI information, D.B. Cooper's face had an olive complextion and long sideburns.
The museum directors feel the FBI sketches of D.B. Cooper which are black and white do not accurately demonstrate his complextion and sideburns described by witnesses. The museum will be displaying a lifesize wax figure head of D.B Cooper dimensioned after the FBI sketch for the purpose of helping solve one of Washington state's top mysteries.


Thanks to Seattle businesses Spotlight Fashions for providing the skull cap and Bliss Soap for providing wax and assistance.

The next wax head planned will be Bruce Lee who lived here in Seattle from 1959-1964.

Testing

Every Day

Test your ESP ability with Rhine Cards

Rhine cards were developed by Dr. Karl Zener and J.B. Rhine in the 1920s, and have been used in experiments to indicate ESP capability weighing against statistical probability.

Test your psychic ability with Zener or Rhine Cards!
For all ages

A fun easy way to find out if you have that sixth sense!

Zener cards were developed by Dr. Karl Zener and J.B. Rhine in the 1920s and consist of five simple symbols: star, circle. square, cross & wavy lines.

Five cards of each symbol are used in a total of 25 cards per deck.
The sender shuffles the deck and focuses on each card for a few moments. The receiver senses the symbol that the sender is focusing on.

This is an excercise in telepathy for two people to use.

The Mystery of the Crying Cadavers
The real life horror behind Seattle's most culturally offensive exhibit.



Attention all cities with cadaver shows appearing or scheduled to open.

Consider ordinances or laws in your city preventing the display of human remains
and its potentially cultural offensiveness.
Desecration is not educational.
San Francisco enacted a police ordinance in 2005 and the State of Washington will soon sign in House bill 1253 making it illegal to display human remains without the deceaseds consent.
Citizens and medical professionals, demand death certificates and verification.

Exhibiting a person's body against their cultural and spiritual belief is wrong - it doesn't matter what country, culture or religion you belong to, there is no civilized culture in the world that desecrates cadavers for profit.

The Seattle Museum of The Mysteries in the Capitol Area of Seattle is excited to announce it has recently received several landmark, original publications which highlight the beginings of Sasquatch and UFO discovery and research in the United States. The Museum has received the very first issue of
FATE Magazine from 1948 thanks to a donation by Dana Fos.
This magazine is considered among the longest continuous publication on the paranormal. The first issue presents a first hand account by Seattle's Kenneth Arnold, a Federal Marshall detailing his sighting of nine flying disks over Mount Rainier on June 24, 1947 . This sighting is considered to be the first sighting of UFO's in modern American history. It is from this sighting that media coined ther term t"flying saucer". Original edtions of this magazine are quite scarce. The Museum has received original editions of the first four issues of FATE. The Museum also has an original copy of Kenneth Arnolds book, "The Coming of The Saucers" published in 1952.

The museum has also acquired a first edition of Roger Patterson's
"Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really Exist?" published in Yakima in 1966.
The book was donated by museum librarian Philip Lipson who recently acquired the book. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin are well known for taking the clearest and best known films of what many believe to be an actual bigfoot. The Museum specializes in documenting unusual and historical events in the Pacific Northwest from the earliest times of the Native American through the present.

Mystery of Orbs Solved!


Mystery of solving hand warts solved!

The solution? Cover with
Clear nail polish!
Why does it work? It is believed the nail polish seals off air from the wart in much the same way that duct tape is said to work.
Clear nail polish is also less noticable than tape or the black skin that results from freezing warts.
Results are reported to be seen the next day.
Try it and let us know your results. e-mail Charlette at clefevre@oz.net
