'The Entity' Case Revisited
During 1974, several researchers working out of UCLA began to
investigate one of the most famous and frightening
Parapsychology cases ever documented. Often referred to as a
violent or extreme haunting, 'The Entity' investigation became
famous after the 1981 release of a major film based on that
case. Doctors Gaynor and Taff investigated the haunting under
the auspices of Thelma Moss, a UCLA Parapsychologist. While the
film highlighted the fact that the female victim of the alleged
haunting was repeatedly and violently raped, it may have
downplayed other events that might have provided an alternative
explanation.
The film relied largely on audience imagination to fill in the
blanks as the victim was sexually assaulted and highlighted the
fact that most people who heard her story tended to initially
discount the tale of spirit rape. However, family members,
friends and those who bothered to investigate the matter more
fully often witnessed the attacks themselves. Some, like her
son, were hit, beaten or suffered some degree of bodily harm.
The movie seemed to focus on one entity, but the case was far
more complicated then that.
In real life, the victim described three entities. Two held her
down and the third raped her. Black and blue marks all over her
body were clear indications that she had been physically
attacked and harmed. This is incredibly significant because it
is almost unique in the history of the unexplained. Although
there have been instances of everything from bite marks to words
carved into flesh on the victims of other supernatural attacks,
most of these incidents remain largely suspect when it comes to
supernatural causes. 'The Entity' case had more then its fair
share of credible witnesses to the rapes and beatings.
Beyond the terrible sexual abuse itself, one event really
brought home the uniqueness of this case. During one of their
visits to the home of the victim, Gaynor, Taff and others
actually saw the figure of a man appear out of thin air. Gaynor
gave the following statement to OMNI Magazine in the 1990s: "We
saw the head take shape and then the shoulders. The light
extended down to the ground until it became a full humanoid
figure of greenish-white light. Then it just vanished, almost as
if somebody pulled the plug. It didn't fade away. It just
vanished. Everybody was completely in awe and silent as we
watched this happen."
The appearance of the full-figured apparition always bothered
me. It just wasn't something that had ever been successfully
documented during a haunting before. That, along with the sexual
attacks, just didn't fit into the normal 'ghost' scenario. This
wasn't an ethereal figure reenacting an event from their life or
some misty spirit. It was a violent and powerful man who had
full control over his victim. When asked why she thought it was
a ghost that was raping her, the victim told researchers that
the man just vanished after the attacks. Based on her
descriptions of the perpetrator, he must have been very visible
to the victim during the attacks.
Hindsight is 20/20 and I am not going to be the one to
second-guess the work of Gaynor and Taff. Even with a good
working knowledge of all areas of the unexplained, it would have
been hard to consider 'The Entity' case anything more than a
very unusual haunting. I'll be the first to admit that what
happened in the 1970s would have probably leaded me to the same
conclusion if I had been investigating the case at that time. It
wasn't until years later that additional events came to my
attention, which may provide another possible explanation for
"The Entity' attacks.
My first opportunity to speak with several people alleged to
have been involved with U.S. Government time travel, mind
control and invisibility experiments came in 1988. That first
meeting lead to a more in-depth examination of those people in
1989. The 1989 session was videotaped, lasted a full day and
included technical experts and specially invited parties from
various backgrounds. That session provided enough information
for me to establish an on-going investigation of The
Philadelphia Experiment, Montauk Project and related events.
Those continuing investigations lead to an incident that
occurred in 2004.
On February 12, 2004, a woman that I'll refer to as Virginia was
joined by her husband and two friends to clean out a small room
that existed on the second floor of their newly purchased
retirement home in Maryland. The eighty-five year old house
needed an interior facelift. With Contractor work set to begin
shortly, the four had the task of removing items from a smaller
room that was going to become part of a larger open area when
everything was completed. As the small group of people prepared
the items for removal, they suddenly felt sick to their
stomachs. A green mist appeared in the room accompanied by the
form of a man and the odor of over-heated circuitry. He looked
like a sailor wearing a long out of date naval uniform. Before
anyone could react, the sailor looked at the group and said,
"2005. Watch out for 2005! They're playing with your future!"
After that, the Sailor faded into the wall and the green mist
quickly dissipated. All agreed later that they had heard his
voice and everyone heard the same thing. They described the
Sailor's voice as deep and full, but sounding a bit muffled.
I believe the warning about 2005 may have referred to the
unusually destructive hurricane season that may have been caused
by government weather control experiments. While seeking
additional funding for weather research and control, a military
spokesperson told a congressional committee "The Air Force will
own the weather in five years." The weather experiments have a
direct connection to some of the technologies discovered and
used during various incarnations of The Philadelphia Experiment.
The appearance of the sailor within a green mist is eerily
similar to the appearance of the full-figured apparition during
'The Entity' investigation. Another connection is the alleged
mental state of many of the sailors who took part in the
original Philadelphia Experiment. A number of people who claim
to have been involved with the 1940s Navy Project say that
attempts to make Navy Vessels invisible lead to severe side
effects among the survivors, including mental illness and
insanity. And there's more.
Some of the Sailors who survived the original Philadelphia
Experiment had a bad habit of fading in and out of their
physical environment. Two sailors floated out of the wall of a
bar near the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard (according to an
article in a local newspaper shortly after the incident).That
event was witnessed by shipyard workers, naval personnel and
others. A few weeks later, two sailors at the same bar got into
a fight. The fight spilled out into the street. Once outside in
the light, witnesses described the men involved in the scuffle
as being transparent or translucent instead of solid figures
made of flesh and bone. They were said to have been a part of
the specifically chosen crew placed aboard the as yet to be
commissioned battleship escort later know as the USS Eldridge
for a sea trial of the P.E. technology.
All this leads us to the inescapable fact that the most famous
haunting case of all time might not have involved ghosts at all.
It's entirely possible that Survivors of some known or unknown
test of Philadelphia Experiment technology could have been the
culprits behind 'The Entity' sexual assaults. They may have been
victims themselves. Who can say what people who have been
exposed to a bizarre technology that leaves them insane,
mentally unbalanced and in some horrible ethereal limbo might do?
Anyone investigating the Philadelphia Experiment, Montauk
Project and related events knows that you're always at a
disadvantage. That's because time is linear and there is no
specific database to draw from when it comes to understanding or
investigating time travel. If I enter a time machine, travel to
three different times in one day and do all sorts of crazy
things, no connection to those individual events may actually be
made until enough time has passed. As I already pointed out, it
took the 1988 and 2004 incidents for me to make any possible
connection between 'The Entity' case and The Philadelphia
Experiment. It was only after researching those events that I
found a way to better understand what might have happened in
1974 during the alleged haunting.
Sadly, the victim of the 1970s 'Entity' attacks has long since
disappeared. With a possible connection to the most secret of
all government projects, one now wonders whether that
disappearance was actually voluntary. Either way, it's unlikely
she'll be seen again and that means no additional investigative
work can be performed on that case in a meaningful way. However,
based on my research into the *Philadelphia Experiment, Montauk
Project and related events, I am certain that we haven't seen
the last of people appearing in green mists and saying or doing
incredible, amazing and possibly criminal things.
