Hansen identifies a constellation of attributes that folklorists
call "the trickster" - a mythical figure found in most ethnic
traditions, whether as Coyote in Native American lore or the
g-d Hermes in Greek mythology. The trickster is deceitful,
playful, disruptive, irrational, unpredictable, often s-xually
adventurous or perverse, sometimes malevolent, and always to
be approached with caution. He is a marginal figure among the
other deities, and those humans who are associated with him -
shamans, mediums - typically occupy a marginal place in
society. He resists institutionalization. He hovers outside
the establishment, functioning as both an escape valve and a
threat.

While not going so far as to say that the trickster actually
exists, Hansen uses the archetype to stand for a collection of
disparate qualities. And he makes the point that p-ranormal
phenomena not only exhibit these same qualities but often
induce them in persons who immerse themselves in the field.

Like the trickster, p-ychic phenomena are playful and
maddeningly elusive. They are irrational, in the sense that they
fall outside the purview of rationalist thinking. They are
disruptive - sometimes overtly so, as in the case of poltergeist
outbreaks. They are unpredictable, a fact that has led many a
legitimate ps-chic to supplement his talents with trickery. They
are sometimes malevolent - as with Fisher's hungry g-osts, not
to mention the rich tradition of malign sp-rits in every culture,
including the d-vils of Judeo-C-ristian theology. They are
sometimes associated with bizarre or coercive se-ual practices,
as witnessed in many rituals and in the strange private lives
of many mediums and psy-hics. They resist institutionalization;
despite widespread public interest in psyphic phenomena, no
large institutions exist to study the field, and the only major
institutional studies of psyc-ic powers were undertaken by
spy agencies, which are themselves immersed in a culture of
ambiguity and deceit.

Hansen observes that people who directly engage the
par-normal, or try to, sometimes fall into the role-playing trap
mentioned above. A role-playing game, he writes - can become
a shared fantasy, wherein the players voluntarily suspend
normal, rational considerations - The games give more direct
contact with supernatural ideas than does literature alone.

Live people are involved; they participate in a drama; props
may be used, and some physical action is required...Cheating
is frequent despite there being no winners or losers in the
game...Players can identify with their characters, and
sometimes they prefer not to separate themselves from those
roles...[O]ccasionally the 'game' becomes obsessive and
interferes with real-world pursuits.

Reading these words, I find it hard not to think of the
purported messages from Marduk. There is, then, a
dark side to the pa-anormal. It is not all benevolent
a-gels and comforting words from deceased relatives.
There can be obsession, deterioration of rational
thought, shared fantasy, even a descent into madness.
There can be hungry gh-sts. There can be ch-nnelers
who se-ually exploit their followers. There is always the
risk that inquiring too deeply into these matters will lead
to one's own marginalization - a fate that has befallen
even prominent researchers in the field, who have seen
their reputations suffer and their prestige stripped away.

Much in the pa-anormal is worthy of study. But if you
choose to examine it, proceed with caution. And if you
run into trouble, don't hesitate to turn back. After all, I
felt a lot better when I'd left that bookstore,

is available for sale from Amazon US and Amazon UK.
The Darklore anthology series features the best writing
and research on p-ranormal, Fortean and hidden history
topics, by the most respected names in the field: Robert
Bauval, Nick Redfern, Loren Coleman, Jon Downes and
Daniel Pinchbeck, to name just a few.
Darklore's aim is to support quality researchers, so it makes
sense to support Darklore.

N-zi W-rplanes Found Buried in Indiana Field

In the battle to stay ahead of the enemy in World W-r II,
American engineers were willing to employ any trick - including
stealing the ideas from their Na-i counterparts.

So they shipped hundreds of German aircraft to a field in
Seymour, Indiana, where they proceeded to take apart the
machines to learn how they were built - and then buried any
evidence of doing so.

Now recovery teams at Freeman Field are unearthing hundreds
of plane parts and piecing them back together, much like their
ancestors attempted to nearly seven decades ago.

At the end of World -ar II, the field was used as a bustling
A-my base by hundreds of soldiers and civilians keen to
study Germany's airplanes and rockets,
WDRB.com
reported.

Allies seized around 80 different types of aircraft throughout
Europe and then shipped them to the field, where they were
flown, taken apart and then put back together.

While many parts or planes were saved for museum
displays, others were discarded - thrown into pits in
the field and covered with tons of dirt.

Now the Freeman Field Recovery Team is endeavouring
to find as many of the parts as possible. While they
have found a plethora of propellers and wheel parts,
they are hopeful of finding an in tact fuselage -
rumoured to be lurking somewhere in the soil.

One member of the recovery effort, Scott Cooper,
explained why the planes had landed on U.S. soil.

'At that point in the war, in the fighting, the Germans
were years ahead of us in the areas of technology,'
Cooper told
WDRB.com.

'They were actually developing the first jet aircraft
over in Germany, so we had a chance to bring that
aircraft over here, break it down, examine the engine,
examine the aircraft, and find out things that we might
be able to use on the aircraft that we were building
at the time.'

He added: 'About 81 different types of aircraft were brought
here, including V-1 and V-2 missiles.'

The Army held an open house in 1946, allowing members
of the public to see what they had been studying. But there
were questions about what would happen to the planes at
the end of the war.

'What they didn't want to take away for museum purposes or
display purposes, they would just dig these big pits and dump
everything in and cover them up and just leave it there,' Cooper
told the news cha-nel.

The planes were buried on the edges of the airfield - and are
slowly being located by the recovery team.

'In some cases you can still see the German words on there,'
Cooper said. 'The one day when we found 12 propeller blades,
that was pretty exciting.'

While some parts are left in their rusted and partly broken,
others, such as propellers, are smoothed and filled with putty
to resemble their original form. If any parts are sold, the city
shares the proceeds.

The Freeman Field Recovery Team is at least the third group
to search for parts in the field since the early 1990s. They
believe that mud has preserved many parts found so far.

They use a scanner called a Blood Hound attached to the back
of a vehicle.

The radar unit connects to a GPS and a computer mapping
program, and surveys the ground, like an ultrasound indicating
where objects are underground.

'To realize that history, to be able to touch it and feel it
and restore it and bring it back so other people can see it, is
pretty exciting. In some cases it probably helped us to win the
-ar,' Cooper added.

OK To Hunt Bigfoot in Texas

Cryptid conservationists, be on the alert; it's officially open
season on Sasquatch. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department, if you can find Bigfoot in the state of Texas, you
can k-ll it.

A Cryptomundo reader sent a letter to the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department about whether it would be legal to ki-l
Bigfoot, and apparently department Chief of Staff L. David
Sinclair replied that kil-ing an indigenous cryptid would be
legal since it isn't listed as a game animal:

The statute that you cite (Section 61.021) refers only to game
birds, game animals, fish, marine animals or other aquatic life.
Generally speaking, other nongame wildlife is listed in Chapter
67 (nongame and threatened species) and Chapter 68 (nongame
endangered species). "Nongame" means those species of
vertebrate and invertebrate wildlife indigenous to Texas that
are not classified as game animals, game birds, game fish,
fur-bearing animals, endangered species, alligators, marine
penaeid shrimp, or oysters. The Parks and Wildlife
Commission may adopt regulations to allow a person to take,
possess, buy, sell, transport, import, export or propagate
nongame wildlife. If the Commission does not specifically
list an indigenous, nongame species, then the species is
considered non-protected nongame wildlife, e.g., coyote,
bobcat, mountain lion, cotton-tailed rabbit, etc. A
non-protected nongame animal may be hunted on private
property with landowner consent by any means, at any
time and there is no bag limit or possession limit.
