‘One of our board members was arrested and is facing severe charges'

'racial balancing' in schools

A New Mexico man and his sister are driving near Carrizozo‚ New Mexico when they both observe a tall‚ hairy 'wild man' wearing baggy shorts. He later believes that they had seen a Dogman.I received the following account:“A well-known researcher mentioned in an older interview the tale of a child who had gotten separated from her parents in Yosemite National Park. When she was found‚ her story differed greatly from all others. She told her parents a "Dogman" had found her‚ had laid with her to rest‚ had given her "berries from his paw‚" and then led her back to her family. This was the first time I heard anything suggesting werewolf-type cryptids in the wild and since then I just stumble on more and more.This brings to mind an incident between my little sister and me (she was 16 at the time‚ myself 24). We were on the fairly placid highway through Valley of the Fires outside Carrizozo‚ New Mexico bound for Ruidoso‚ New Mexico in 2011.As we rounded one corner‚ we both looked left in time to see a gray/salt &; pepper fur-covered very tall‚ very muscular "man" with the characteristic dog legs (same bends). We screamed and I swerved. We thought instantly that we had seen a "Goat Man‚" yet there were no horns. Some goats don't have horns so we didn't seem swayed by that detail. He was wearing some clothing‚ in fact‚ the most notable being baggy denim shorts. I know that sounds ridiculous‚ believe me. She and I were dumbfounded as to how/why something so wild-looking could be wearing clothes. It was late afternoon around 4pm and he didn't hurry when we came into view. He sauntered on normally as though he didn't care if he were spotted. He didn't even look at our car despite my erratic driving when we noticed him.I drive by that spot regularly on commutes for the doctor between Albuquerque‚ New Mexico‚ and Ruidoso and though I've never seen "him" again‚ there is a small bluff right there with beautiful rocks in a tall stack that it would have taken three or more human males to lift and stack the way they're situated. I always see it and figure it had to be Mr. Wolf Man who did it. Goat Man simply makes no sense anymore. New Mexico is infamous for its Goat Man stories though so we assumed based on an idea planted by local history."

An elderly Navajo woman describes visits by 'little children' to her Diné Navajo reservation home. Are these entities alien or something else? Intriguing account.I received the following account:“I live in the northwest part of New Mexico and during the summer of 1992‚ I heard the weirdest story ever. My grandmother‚ being Navajo‚ lives about an hour south of where I live. It’s a quiet and isolated part of the Navajo reservation. There's no running water‚ no electricity‚ no utilities whatsoever. I used to travel there on weekends to check up on my grandmother and my mother.One summer weekend‚ we took my grandmother over to her older sister's house to check on her‚ haul water‚ and bring her some much-needed supplies. My grandma’s sister is the oldest and lives alone in a two-room house. The entry of the house is used as a living room and a kitchen. The bedroom is another room separated by a wall adjacent to the kitchen. She is very old-fashioned and has no electronics and is isolated from the rest of the world. She does not speak English and only speaks Navajo. Her only advanced technology is an old AM radio and a D-cell flashlight.When we arrived‚ she told us the strangest story. She said that one night she woke up and her room was totally lit up. She said it was like the sun came up and she thought she overslept. The lady is awake before the sun is up and she usually does her morning prayers before the sun is up so she was somewhat distressed that she had slept in that long. She said that she sat up in her bed and started to walk into her kitchen. Then all of a sudden it went dark. It gets dark on the reservation‚ so dark that most times you can't even see your hand in front of your face. She was startled and went back to bed.A few nights later‚ she was awakened by the dishes in her kitchen banging together. She said that her room was lit up again just like before. She said the sun came up and she got up to investigate what was making the noise. As she walked towards the doorway‚ she heard a little child run across the doorway. She was surprised and when she got to the doorway‚ she saw the little children run and hide from her. She got upset and grabbed her broom. When she grabbed her broom‚ it darkened again. Everything was quiet and dark. No little children in sight. She was upset and wanted to know what was going on.She asked us if we had any information on what was going on and why in her house. She thought it was skinwalkers using their witchcraft on her but she couldn’t explain what was going on. In the back of my mind‚ I was thinking she was being visited by aliens. She’s never talked like this before and how can she accurately describe an alien grey? She said that they were very small‚ grey‚ and had a large head. She’s had no interaction with the outside world nor does she have any idea what an alien is.A week went by and we were concerned for her and went back for the following weekend. She said that the little children visited her again. This time‚ she said‚ she just covered her head with a blanket and lay quietly in bed. She said that they were in her room digging around. When they were by her bed‚ she coughed and they left the room and continued to dig around in the kitchen. They dug around and then they left. I don't know why they were visiting her and what they were looking for.After mentioning these incidents to the rest of the family‚ it was decided to take her to a senior care home. She never talked about her visitors again. There are numerous sightings on the reservation. I’ve also seen strange lights. I wonder what these 'little children' were?” NNUltraterrestrial Contact: A Paranormal Investigator's Explorations into the Hidden Abduction EpidemicTrue Tales of the Mojave: From Talking Rocks to Yucca Man (Center Books on the American West)Answers from Heaven: Incredible True Stories of Heavenly Encounters and the AfterlifeLife After Death: An Analysis of the EvidenceThe Inhumanoids: Real Encounters with Beings that can't Exist!Beyond the Seventh Gate: Exploring Toad Road‚ The Seven Gates of Hell‚ and Other Strangeness in York‚ Lancaster‚ and Adams CountiesBuckeye Beasts: Historical Accounts of "Gorillas‚" "Wild Men‚" and Other Hairy Monsters in OhioYeti: An Abominable HistoryRegister a SNAP EBT CardTry Audible PlusPHANTOMS &; MONSTERS READING LISTHave you had a sighting or encounter?Contact me by email or call the hotline at 410-241-5974Thanks.

Sometimes‚ in life and music‚ you have all the pieces in place‚ needed ingredients‚ and talent in the world‚ but for whatever reason‚ things don’t go according to plan. And with Heavens Edge‚ a Philly-born‚ bred‚ and based glam rock outfit formed in 1987 by Mark Evans (vocals)‚ and Reggie Wu (guitars)‚ who were later joined by Steve Parry (guitars)‚ Dave Rath (drums)‚ and George “G.G.” Guidotti (bass)‚ that’s certainly the case.

Damian Venturi isn’t aware of it yet. But as small shifts start to crack the foundations of the Ombrazian power structure after the Rebellion’s attack‚ cracks are beginning to show in Damian’s own facade… We’re thrilled to share an excerpt from Disciples of Chaos‚ the conclusion of M.K. Lobb’s Seven Faceless Saints YA fantasy duology—out from Little‚ Brown Books for Young Readers on February 20. Damian Venturi isn’t aware of it yet. But as small shifts start to crack the foundations of the Ombrazian power structure after the Rebellion’s attack‚ cracks are beginning to show in Damian’s own facade. Uncontrollable anger is bubbling to the surface and can’t always be pushed down. Can he keep everyone safe‚ even from himself? Rossana Lacertosa should feel victorious. She accomplished everything she set out to do‚ and more. The Rebellion’s attack set countless prisoners free and brought attention to the unfairness in the Palazzo’s structure. And Damian is back by her side where he belongs. Yet the war with Brechaat rages on and government officials are hellbent on keeping the status quo. Then an Ombrazian general arrives from the front lines‚ and orders dozens of arrests‚ shipping Roz and Damian’s friends up north. Determined to free those who matter most‚ Roz and Damian set their sights on Brechaat. But their journey is dogged by strange magic‚ and Damian shifts further from the boy he used to be.     Damian’s mind refused to process the scene before him. “We have guests‚” Salvestro had said moments prior‚ looking far too pleased with himself. It had taken Damian a moment to understand what he meant. Of course they had guests—the council chambers were full of them. But he’d followed Salvestro’s gaze‚ glancing into the corridor to see a veritable army of security officers. None of them were his. He’d seen the woman with a general’s insignia on the shoulders of her uniform. Military green‚ not Palazzo blue. Had heard her harsh command and pressed himself against the wall as officers forced their way into the room. Buy it Now There were dozens upon dozens of them. Certainly more than Damian had under his authority. They made a beeline for the side of the room where the unfavored sat‚ and that was when he realized what was happening. He bellowed a warning‚ but nobody heard him in the commotion. Roz didn’t hear him. These were military officers—the type who stood guard at the perimeter of the Ombrazian camps up north. The type who chased down deserters. And the woman with them was a military general. Damian didn’t know her‚ but she was more decorated than his father had been. Being a military general was different from being a general who worked in the Palazzo. Battista’s job had been largely administrative. This woman‚ though‚ was from the front lines. She would have spent years clawing her way up‚ gambling with lives in the process. Damian knew without a doubt that despite technically being the same rank‚ his father would have bowed to her. She watched the scene play out with cool impassivity. All around them‚ officers were taking the unfavored into custody. Only a few of the civilians had weapons—rebels‚ Damian assumed—but even so‚ they didn’t stand a chance. The officers moved with uncanny efficiency‚ snapping cuffs around wrists and fending off blows with ease. One of them had Nasim restrained‚ and although she bared her teeth at him‚ she didn’t fight back. Damian’s heart lurched as he mentally prepared for Roz to involve herself‚ but she had disappeared from sight. Hell‚ where was she? He pushed off the wall‚ scouring the sea of bodies for her tall figure. All around him‚ disciples were ushered out of the room. Those who remained looked on with confusion. A number of Damian’s security officers did the same‚ or else tried to catch his eye for some kind of signal. Kiran and Siena were in the latter group‚ their expressions panicked‚ but Damian could only shrug at them in horrified bewilderment. Other officers had leapt into the fray and were conducting arrests alongside the military officers. Damian had one hand on his gun‚ the other clenched in a fist. They were going to get a fucking earful from him later. “Damian!” He spun‚ searching wildly for the source of Roz’s voice. He spotted her a beat later‚ an officer at her back‚ her knife on the ground by her feet. Her expression was sheer rage‚ but beneath it was disbelief. She was wondering if he’d known about this‚ Damian understood with a jolt. He gave a frantic shake of his head as he forced his way through the crowd. The officer who had detained Roz was trying to guide her to the edge of the room‚ but she was standing her ground. At least until he yanked her sideways‚ causing her to stumble. Damian’s anger flared white-hot. He didn’t know how he made it to her‚ only that he did‚ and the next second his fist was slamming into the officer’s temple. The man staggered‚ eyes unfocused. A hand wrenched Damian back‚ and he whirled to find himself nose-to-nose with Kiran. “What are you doing?” his friend demanded‚ face devoid of its usual humor. Damian heaved a breath. He knew hitting another officer was a mistake‚ but he couldn’t bring himself to care. “They’re arresting her. They—” Kiran’s hair was coming out of its knot‚ and he tucked a dark lock behind his ear as he spoke. “They’re arresting everyone who seems to be unfavored. I take it you didn’t know about this?” “Of course I didn’t.” The room was nearly empty. Only Damian’s officers‚ the Palazzo representatives‚ and a handful of military officers remained. The disciples had all been made to leave‚ the unfavored dragged out in handcuffs. Damian wondered where they were being taken‚ but had the terrible sensation he knew. He sought out Roz again‚ but the place where she’d been standing was occupied by somebody else. Slate-gray eyes rooted him in place. “Signor Venturi‚ I take it‚” said the general. “I’ve heard much about you.” Damian gave a shallow bow‚ forcing himself to swallow the putrid anger still stirring in his throat. Had she seen him punch that officer? “An honor‚ Signora.” She didn’t smile‚ or even react. When she spoke‚ it was to the rest of the room‚ her voice devoid of emotion. “I am General Caterina Falco. You will address me as ‘General.’ I’ve held my current rank for the past five years. Prior to that‚ I spent nine years as head commander at the front‚ though my first promotion was in the training bureau. I’ve spent nearly my entire life at war‚ and the only reason I’m stepping away now is to help get this place back on track. I’m sorry to hear about Battista Venturi’s death—he was a great man. As long as I’m in this building‚ treat me the same way you did him‚ and we’ll get along just fine.” There was a pause‚ but then everyone nodded. A few of Damian’s officers shot him accusatory glances‚ likely suspecting he’d withheld news of Falco’s arrival. At his place by the door‚ Salvestro was practically radiating delight‚ as if he could fathom nothing better than being around this brusque‚ unpleasant woman. With some effort‚ Damian managed to nod. That brief moment of uncontrollable violence had faded‚ and as logic returned‚ he formulated a plan. He would play nice with Falco. He would figure out where they had taken Roz‚ and he would get her pardoned. After all‚ they had no proof of any crimes committed. “Now‚” Falco said‚ “a considerable number of you already know me from your time spent up north. I did bring some reinforcements of my own”—she gestured at the green-clad officers—“in order to help boost your numbers.” Finally her gray eyes found Damian’s again‚ but he couldn’t identify the expression in them. Did she expect him to assist with this? Why hadn’t anyone sent word ahead of time? “With your cooperation‚” she went on‚ “I have no doubt we will be able to restore order to Ombrazia.”   Excerpted from Disciples of Chaos‚ copyright © 2023 by M.K.
