Hey Baz,

Sorry for not writing for a while. I'll try to keep in touch more regular in future. Been pretty busy lately. I won't bore you with too many details, as I know you want "just the interesting stuff mate" as you put it. Besides, I have to keep the main details for my book if I ever get to work on it again.

I've been working with an elderly couple, Mr and Mrs P, in Hendry County Florida. This was an unusual case because usually poltergeist activity has something to do with pubescent children, but this couple lived alone and there had been no children living in the house since 1986.

The focal point of activity was in this case not a person, but the attic. Not once has any activity been noticed outside the attic. I'll tell you right now, it's not rats or possums. In some respects this is like a haunting, but in many respects it is a poltergeist. Perhaps a classic ghost in the attic has been taken over by a poltergeist?

Whatever it is, this is one hell of a mischievous entity. It seems to be able to play mind games. Some of its "tricks" are observable by only certain individuals at a time, whilst other are clearly observable by all present.

Have you ever smelled anything that made you vomit? I had three assistants accompany me into the attic one night. After about 3 hours of absolutely nothing, Collette and I noticed a strange odour, mild at first but rapidly gaining in intensity. I'd hate to try to describe it to you, as it would require some pretty disgusting analogies. Rob and Jake smelled nothing. We were frantically checking our equipment and taking recordings when Collette spontaneously projectile vomited over two of the cameras. I was lucky to make it downstairs to the bathroom before I had a similar reaction.

From that short encounter we recorded EMF off the scale, atmospheric variations in temperature between 35 and 60⁰, some very interesting - dare I say scary - video, and reversed vocal manifestations that we were able to pinpoint at the room's exact center.

I really have to thank Jake and Rob for most of what we got, as they continued to monitor the equipment and take notes whilst Collette and I were out of action.

I later found a ouija board in a cupboard in the attic, but both Mr and Mrs P deny having any knowledge of the boards existence. I guess that only complicates the mystery a bit.

Hey Baz,

I don't usually get too mixed up in UFO's. It's really not my scene. But I got dragged into this case in mexico involving supposed abductions of an entire family.

I was very sceptical about alien abductions until now.

I can tell you that whilst helping on this investigation I have awoken to find this entire family missing twice. What's strange is that I don't remember going back to sleep, but in the morning the family were all back in the house and things were just weird. Hard to describe, but it was like everyone knew something had happened but nobody was able to talk about it.

I've still never seen a flying saucer, and somehow I just don't believe they even exist. The missing family was due to something else altogether. When the family talk about it, they refer to the "aliens", but I'm not convinced. Something unusual is definitely going on, but in my mind it is nothing to do with aliens - not the typical ones that people imagine when they hear the word anyway.

Baz and family,

Just a short one - I know you probably saw enough voodoo last year to last a lifetime, but I just had to tell you this. At a ceremony last week I can confirm sustained human levitation.

5 minutes total. I timed it, and at precisely 5 minutes from "lift off" the guy began to descend. Take my word that this entire scenario was checked and double checked - this guy floated in the air unaided for 5 minutes.

I'll get back to you soon. Planning a trip to Lake Okanagan to see if I can get a glimpse of Ogopogo soon, but I'm pretty sure Ogopogo is just a myth.

Hi all,

I'm in Brazil, staying at a lovely little retreat called the Araras Lodge. I've been investigating several cases of spontaneous human combustion over the past week. All have taken place in the nearby township during the last 3 months

Spontaneous human combustion is where a person bursts into flames without any known cause. There is usually very little damage to anything in the surrounding room This was indeed the case in Cuiabá, although there were several plastic items in the room that had melted.

What's very strange is that the heat to melt plastic at a distance of over 4 meters from the combusting body would have to be incredibly intense. So intense that it should easily ignite the surrounding carpet and the curtains which were only a mere 1 meter away.

The EMF in all the rooms where the bodies were found was quite high. Substantially higher than normal. So I guess there is something to do with Electro Magnetism in S.H.C. I must say though that I felt a presence in each room - more than just increased EMF.

These cases have all been kept quiet at the request of the families and were all recorded as accidental deaths. It makes me wonder just how prevalant S.H.C. really is. How many cases go unreported? I was just lucky that one of my contacts knew the local coroner or I wouldn't have even heard of these cases.

Got some great info on this one. Keeping most of it for the archives, but thought you might be interested that I can confirm 100% that people do spontaneously combust under the right circumstances.

Hello Baz and family,

Hope you are all keeping well. If I told you I was, I'd be lying. I've had an extremely confusing time of the last 2 months, having set out on an expedition August 3rd to search for a strange creature in the Amazon Jungle. I have only just returned to Cuiabá yesterday and I am none the wiser for the experience. Here are the facts…

Within a day or so of my last contact with you I received notice that a creature had been sighted quite often near the town of Tabatinga. The creature somewhat resembled the stereotypical grey alien except that it's skin was patchy, it walked upright with a slight stoop and some reports had small rounded boney spines along the creatures back. There were reports that the creature (or creatures) were responsible for the theft of produce from the markets as well as the death of many livestock.

It took me a while to gather a team for the investigation, but eventually we gathered a party of 7 plus myself. As I stated above, we set off on August 3rd, but I only have memory of 2 days of our expedition. It was kind of like we all fell asleep on the 5th August and we all awoke in the morning on 30th September, little more than ½ mile from the Tabatinga township.

I can't explain what went on, and neither can any of the team. Nobody was willing to go back for another attempt so that's where we left it for the moment. I'm at a complete loss as to what has happened, and for the moment I am just trying to steady myself and make sure I have returned to reality. I have many photos from this trip. I don't remember taking any, but I have 5 very interesting shots which will require some deep analysis.

I will have to find a new team, and hopefully get back onto this one after a few weeks rest.

Ciao for now.
