Cynocephali..The Real Dog-Headed Men

As strange and disturbing as it may seem, throughout history, there have been numerous accounts of dog-headed people living in distant lands. You have probably seen images of Cynocephalus before. Cyno means dog and cephalus means of the head. For example you have probably seen images of the Egyptian God Anubis "The God of Death and Embalming." Anubis has been found in Egyptian tombs, and has the body of a man and the head of a jackal, this is clearly a Cynocephalus. It makes for interesting folklore, but what if I told you that historically, the detailed written accounts by explorers, conquerors and missionaries of these cynocephali in India, Asia, Africa and Europe are actually rather consistant. Infact these strange creatures were described in writings as recent as the last few hundred years. There are clear depictions of cynocephali in the writings of St. Augustine, Alexander the Great, Marco Polo and even Christoph

Pt 1 The Tragic Life Of Paul Bern, The Ghost That Could Have Saved Sharon Tate

High in the hills above Los Angeles nestled in the trees of Benedict Canyon sits 9820 Easton Drive. A 1930s Craftsman style house and in 1963 celebrity hair stylist Jay Sebring owner of this historic home brought his then girlfriend Sharon Tate home for what some now call one of the most chilling ghostly encounters with the former owner Paul Bern and a dire warning to the young actress of her impending fate.

It was September 5, 1932, the body of MGM executive, Paul Bern was found in with a bullet hole in his head lying front of a mirror drenched in his wife’s favorite perfume in the master bedroom of their Beverly hills mansion. His wife? None other than the beautiful blonde bombshell Jean Harlow. His body was found with a suicide note that read "Dearest Dear, Unfortunately this is the only way to make good the frightful wrong I have done you an

The Legend of the Soho Strangler

George Gaffney was a petty thief. He operated from London's seedy Soho red light district in the early years of this century. His crimes were all minor, except for one - and that was the most serious of all. On the first day of March 1910, Gaffney saw on a street-seller's cart a strange three-foot long length of woven silk rope which he recognised as a "thuggee cord", used by the Hindu assassins' sect in the Middle East to dispatch their victims. Gaffney bought it. Two weeks later, he used it... The cheap thief had been having problems with a girl named Bessie Graves, who expect him to marry her because she was pregnant. Bit Gaffney had wooed her under the alias of Arthur Eames. Now he had found a much more promising opportunity - an elderly rich widow, named Stella Fortney. Called by an hysterical landlady, Scotland Yard detectives found Bessie Graves with the strangler's cord drawn so tight around her throat it was embedded in the flesh. Their only clue wa
