Erich von Däniken Says Accepted History of Mankind Is Wrong Ancient historians chronicled ancient aliens
Erich von Däniken writes: Something is wrong with our past. There exist structures that could not have been created by technologically-untrained Stone Age peoples.

There are writings of ancient historians reporting on cultures and data about which the official archaeology field wants to know nothing. Here are some examples

As scared of clowns as some people already are, what happens when you put on a costume and can’t take it off? Therein lies the trouble for our poor protagonist Kent (Andy Powers).

The Twisted Career of Rope Strangler Harvey Glatman "Lonely Hearts" killer preyed on young models
Harvey Glatman was born in December of 1927 to a Jewish family in the Bronx, New York, but he was raised in Colorado. From an early age, Glatman exhibited some very odd behavior. For instance, at the age of 12, his parents noticed he had a red, swollen neck. He then described an activity he engaged in while in the bathtub: placing a rope around his neck, running it through the tub drain, and pulling it tight. His parents recall him saying that he achieved “some kind of sexual pleasure” from the act. At this revelation, his mother promptly took him to see the family doctor… who told her that Harvey would, “grow out of it.”

HIDDEN – The Duffer Brothers Movie That Paved the Way to STRANGER THINGS Post-apocalyptic horror/thriller is emotionally gripping with a madly clever twist
Stranger Things, the retro scfi/mystery series on Netflix, is the hit of the 2016 summer season, generating buzz and discussion galore, reinvigorating the career of Winona Ryder, and bringing writer/directors the Duffer Brothers to prominence. Among other things the eight-episode show is a spot-on compendium of ’80s popular culture with clever homages to Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, John Carpenter, Stephen King, and many others. Young (born 1984), twin (Matt and Ross) upstarts, the Duffer Brothers seem to have come out of nowhere, but of course they didn’t. The Duffer Brothers began making films in 3rd grade, and not long after they graduated from film school, they had written and signed on to direct virus-apocalypse horror/thriller HIdden for Warner Brothers. Hidden cleverly and with deep empathy takes the familiar zombie apocalypse survivor scenario and flips it on its head, calling into question all of our usual preconceptions about good guys, bad guys and the ethics of survival.
