Michelle passes and “the Kid”, Paul Haynes, and a journalist, Jensen, take over in her stead by inheriting her research. Haynes’ mapping of where EAR may have lived seems very close to where some of my grandparents lived. I’ll know when I research DeAngelo more. But lots of files to pore through and very good writing here.

Going through her research and saying that many different men were the One was an important part to write about because sticking to your first few suspects is like a loving bond that you don’t want to deny because it’s such a strong emotion attached to what you believe is a good catch. Pool lets her down easy because he’s had similar experiences through fingerprint finds but DNA comes back negative.

I really like the interview & tour w/ Paul Holes. The realty / construction site angle is very promising, but I’m not sure about the plane owning part. Just because of the airports in 2 attacks in 22hrs doesn’t account for any others being relevant.

Cruising w/ Paul Holes to various crime scenes is providing great info!

Michelle discovers a Cold Case Files message board and exchanges info. Each police department wants to catch him themselves so they deny knowledge and share nothing. So frustrating. These toxic personalities exist in fields that require constant collaboration. Think of how many criminals still haven’t been caught due to greed. Thankfully there’s digital info but even that doesn’t require sharing.

What a sad story of the Debbi Domingo’s final words to her mom before she & her ex were brutally killed. Another house up for sale too. Sad she was hooked on meth for many years in anguish too. I feel bad for that earlier dog that got cut but luckily survived. I don’t think the hose was for washing blood off though, maybe a distraction, deterrent, or alarm. Some different witness descriptions of brown curly hair

A couple narrow escapes for GSK as neighbors report burglaries and see/hear him. That one slip up being chased by FBI neighbor while on a bike was so close. More linking like w/ Ventura and OC. Why do I have to go back to work?!

DNA linked a couple of murders from the start of the book and the growth of technology is very interesting. I like the Chinese story of the sickle and flies swarming the bloody one to catch the culprit. Janelle had a rough upbringing and definitely got around due to some trauma. The realtor telephone tag was juvenile and the first one should’ve called the cops asap. Brutal murder description & the teeth in her hair

This book is wild. The boys potentially seeing Kathleen’s Indian killer in the alley/neighborhood! Then the EAR history of crimes are scary and everyone in the area closes up & locks down. The Visalia Ransacker almost being caught & shot was intense. Is it him? This is a great book! Had to look up the sketch online & DeAngelo’s Exeter police photo is side by side. He was a cop?!

Very brutal first 2 murders covered and the surviving husband who was in the hospital. the brother had to clean up as there weren’t crews then. I like the author’s reflections on the red carpet and now her family history too. How she is like so many other women obsessed with catching criminals and her work actually led to GSK’s arrest is justice for those many victims.

Really excited to start this one after rewatching the Unsolved Mysteries segment and saw the update on who the Golden State Killer was and he’s been captured. Somehow I missed this on initial release.

Albus meeting Voldy for the first time was great, but poor Merope. Romilda Vane & co trying to slip Harry love potions was funny. Ron & Lavender are insufferable & Hermione was right to shoot canaries. Her Cormac invitation was perfect revenge. The girl who dropped the scales part happens on 7th floor corridor, Draco’s alarm. Christmas @ Burrow has funny dialogue & Harry tells Scrimgeour off well.

Epilogue really showed how quickly he could wander off topic and come back to haphazardly piece it together. The story of the scientist who could see Jupiter’s moons unaided witnessing something pass over him was trying to show credibility but it proved nothing. No evidence, just stories that then tie together to promote peace and understanding and listen to experiencers. Polygraph also lackluster and useless.

Jesus Christ, he’s really talking out of his ass with this triad stuff and keeps beating a dead horse with the same analogies of 3 making a 4th, or 2 making a 3rd. Then he gets into tarot and I want to blow my brains out at this bullshit. Too much conjecture and coming from no expertise just makes this read like some boomer Facebook user started believing ads and propaganda.

The group conversation fizzles and now he’s taking about triangles, the trinity, the triad. He only had the triangular probe and the symbols on his arm, so I think they’re blowing triangles out of proportion.

The transcript from the NY support group conversation, The Hidden Choir, is interesting as many opinions are given and everyone is different. As Budd Hopkins is the leader, I wonder if these are the same people, w/ aliases, that appear in the “missing time” segment of Unsolved Mysteries. I’ll have to watch again!

End of pt6 is more speculation and introduces succubi, incubi, angels, & demons. Bunch of ancient aliens malarkey.

Part 6 is some of the best parts of this book as it’s drawing on the known literature from researching the topic. Finally no uninformed conjecture but actual, referential information to illustrate points.

His son’s voice really doesn’t sound anything like a normal 7yr old. The way he talks, vocab, and picking out a haiku book and saying the thin ones are haikus just sounds fabricated. Meanwhile he can’t really describe many encounters yet he says difficult haikus have so many pictures. I don’t buy that part at all.

Anne’s hypnosis still leads to denials and blocks but there was an instance of just her and their son and something happening w/o Whitley that they know of only because of son’s journal entries. Whitley admits the soothing female voice may just be his wife fitting that comfort role. She admits to hearing him scream out of character so she can’t believe it’s a real memory. Good stuff!

More ramblings and musings on conjuration and magic with more questions than details. Designing the book cover was mildly interesting but his detailed manipulation of the woman’s body to describe her seems too vivid to be a real being. I like Anne’s hypnosis notes so far as she’s more grounded and has blocked out a lot of what happened and is out of the loop on Whitley’s breakthroughs.

The praying mantis alien was super creepy in its description and how even though he was hit in the head w/ a silver nail, the thing through his hair calmed him.

Whitley and Anne seem like the most troublesome people to be friends with. So dramatic, always moving & running away. Countless missing time episodes and more visitations/abductions. If any part of this is true, I feel bad for them, but it’s kind of hard to believe the amount of encounters has exponentially grown after a couple hypnosis sessions unlocking the past.

“The color of the dark - insights” was quite a slog of pondering & questioning. At this stage, his recalls are still fresh but the insights & questions are so naive that I don’t think their inclusion seems worth it. He hadn’t read anything until after the 12/26 hypnosis so any insights are just regurgitating what’s been read w/ his own spin w/o follow-up research. His experiences commentary is good though.

His first hypnosis for 12/26 was pretty creepy in how he describes the woman, his probe, the bang, and how he can even recall being abducted at 12 from a train trip w/ his family. Creepy

Annie recalling “cats scurrying” upstairs from Oct4 was creepy as hell since cats were in NYC. The hypnosis takes a few times to get answers but the alien is described a bit different from the cover. 4 races in total and the little doctors match the film a bit. Visions of the end of the world are creepy but his own fears and thoughts may be mixed in too.

Hate the page count. The intros are good, esp the 2022 foreword talking about the impact of initial release. I find the pleas to science to be too often and repetitive. The story itself though and the self-critical style to keep me engaged though, but I don’t need to hear about his confusion or denial on every page. He’s hooked up w/ Budd Hopkins & is being hypnotized by an outsider. Next are the transcripts!

The final chapter has the cliche debate over what Bigfoot may be. Again laden w/ typos. But as a 1992 book, there are dated but still good arguments made for and against a dozen+ hypotheses. I’m getting very drained by this book though and am glad to have finished. Very repetitive and while informative for those in the NE, I can’t relate much, but I’ve learned more than I knew before.

The Vermont sightings in chapter 7 seem to show equally elusive and bold squatches that’ll hide quickly or just nonchalantly walk along roads almost getting clipped by cars. I feel such reports are by bandwagoners. The book is really starting to show more typos and the final article on mountain lions being reprinted has numerous that only could’ve happened through authors retyping them.

The Kinderhook Creature, dubbed by tv show PM Magazine, seems to have been experienced by the authors and their family. The photos of the cast from ‘81 look human. They’re starting to see white orbs floating around and footprints ending into nothingness. STM’s docs have helped show the region off but I’m curious about the mostly audible stuff and their lack of recordings. Convenient times to stop vocalizing.
