Devils Sinkhole

The Voynich manuscript part one
January 21st, 2012 
admin The Voynich manuscript, considered as the strangest manuscript all over the world, is a masterpiece from the 15th century, perhaps from the northern Italy. The Voynich manuscript derived its name from the person who bought it in the early 1912, Wilfrid Voynich.
The Taos Hum
November 29th, 2011 admin Do you hear that strange hum that just will not go away? Chances are if you live in the Southwestern United States or parts of Britain you do. This is a phenomenon being called The Taos Hum. There are researchers who are doing their best to find out what is causing it. However, so far they have been having no luck.
It seems that the Taos hum was first reported around the mid nineteen seventies. It seems that people started to take it very serious around the year 1990 when more and more newspapers started to pick up on it. No one is sure what causes it. Some people claim to hear it and other people never hear it.
Many people have several theories including space ships, the crust of the planet and much more. Some citizens say it gets louder and some say it vanishes at times too. Will we ever know what is creating the Taos hum? This might be one of those mysteries that will always remain unsolved but, that does not mean that scientists and research teams will stop trying to figure out what is going on with this unique sound called the Taos hum.
This sound is often heard in Taos Mexico and the surrounding areas. It seems to be a low pitched sound that is easy to hear in a natural and quite environment. There have been reports of the Taos hum in the USA, The UK and Europe. No one is sure if the sound is spreading or why some people hear it and others don’t.
Many who have heard the sound describe it like the noise associated with thunder out in the distance or a running diesel engine. You might or might not hear it yourself but there are many people who are sure that it is there and will tell you they hear it.
There are a many people who feel that the government has been lying to use about the Taos hum and that it is something our own government has been working on. Could this be a top secret government project? Perhaps it is a generator that is making this low frequency noise. Could this generator be keeping aliens alive or is it something else our government is keeping secret? Perhaps we will never know.

A Candle To Light The Way
November 11th, 2011 admin If you saw a strange light hovering over your house, you may wonder if aliens from outer space had come to pay you a visit. But if the stories of corpse candles are to be believed, you may be getting a warning of a forthcoming death.
These lights have been seen for centuries by many different people in all parts of the world, suggesting they are not associated with one particular religion or belief. They are called corpse candles because they look exactly like the flame of a burning candle; indeed, on some occasions witnesses have reported seeing a complete, lit candle floating in mid air.
Burke & Hare Murder Dolls
November 3rd, 2011 admin 
Just a few years after the “Anatomy Murderers” Burke and Hare were apprehended in Edinburgh, two boys discovered these tiny dolls, each nested into a miniature coffin hidden away in the city park.
At first theories on the dolls significance ranged from witchcraft to child’s toys, but eventually it began to seem that the 17 tiny figures could be effigies for the 17 murder victims a decade earlier.
Billy the Kid
October 27th, 2011 admin Did Pat Garrett Really Kill Billy the Kid?
The story of Billy The Kid remains one of the more popular from the Wild West period of history in the United States, with many outlaws and bandits achieving folk hero status due to their wild and uncompromising ways as well as a love of gambling and poker and a rough-and-tumble lifestyle. Like other outlaws, Billy the Kid (who was born William Henry McCarty, Jr. but also used the names William H. Bonney and Henry Antrim) actually wasn’t well-known for much of his lifetime, catapulting to fame just a few months before his death when New Mexico governor Lew Wallace put a price on his head.
Billy the Kid’s death would lead to one of the more persistent unsolved mysteries of the Wild West which is still debated today. Sheriff Pat Garrett was credited with killing Billy the Kid at Fort Sumner New Mexico in 1881, but rumors immediately surfaced as far as to not just the way that Billy the Kid was killed but to his final resting place — as well as the potentially more shocking theory that Pat Garrett never killed Billy the Kid at all and instead killed an innocent man that he passed off as Billy the Kid.
Some believe that Billy the Kid not only escaped death at Garrett’s hands but actually lived until 1950, using the names Brushy Bill and William Henry Roberts before his death in Hico, TX. In 2007 an attempt was planned to exhume the grave of William Henry Roberts and compare the DNA to that of Billy the Kid’s mother but the exhumation never occurred. Other investigators have proposed exhuming the grave of Billy the Kid at Fort Sumner but there’s no clear consensus on exactly where his grave is located, as the entire cemetery was flooded and destroyed several times in the past and Billy the Kid’s purported grave marker has been stolen and moved numerous times.
Like some unsolved mysteries,this one may never be unraveled, as far as whether or not Garrett was bluffing (like some of the best online Texas Holdem poker players – http://www.pokerjunkie.com/best-texas-holdem.html) or if it really was Billy the Kid that he shot and who was buried at Fort Sumner back in 1881. Without reliable DNA to test it’s impossible to debunk or prove claims to Billy the Kid’s ultimate fate, likely leading to only more speculation in the future.

The Glory Hole
September 9th, 2011 admin Located at the Monticello Dam at Lake Berryessa in Northern California, this gigantic drain acts as the lake’s spillway.
Technically known as the Morning Glory Spillway it is locally, somewhat more colorfully, known as “The Glory Hole.” When the dam reaches capacity, the spillway swallows water at a rate of 48,800 cubic feet per second, emptying about 700 feet away through an enormous concrete pipe. Not a safe place to swim, in 1997, a UC Davis graduate student was pulled into the glory hole while swimming and drowned.
The dam and spillway were constructed between 1953 and 1957, choking off Putah Creek and drowning the remains of the town of Monticello. At very low water levels, the foundations of the town can be seen in parts of the lake. The outside diameter is 72 feet, slowly narrowing to 28 feet at the exit. While this is the largest drain of its kind, there are other Glory Hole spillways around the world, including one in Whiskeytown Lake, and in Northern California.
Daring skateboarders have been known to use the exit of the spillway as a ramp in the dry season.
You can see the Glory Hole from the lake, but it is cordoned off from boaters and swimmers for safety reasons.
