Paranormal Phenomena -the Story Of Pier Fortunato Zanfretta: 11 Times Taken By The Aliens On The Shoreline Of Liguria.
By Gwen Daylar
Liguria is still an ancient and strange territory. Here you can still taste a coastline not polluted by human intervention, as the wonderful shorelines of Cinque Terre. But the splendour of its coasts it’s not the only feature of Liguria.
Liguria is the Capital of the UFOs in Italy, after the Pier Fortunato Zanfretta file. At that times he was a night guardian in Liguria, and he sustains he has lived, between 1978 and 1981, 11 episodes of meetings with alien beings. He describes these aliens as being grey, tall almost three meters, with great yellow triangular eyes.
The problem of regressive hypnosis – Lies from an unconscious mind?
The conflicting opinions of the experts The psychoanalysts Mauro Moretti and Caesar Musatti, that Zanfrettas submitted to sessions of regressive hypnosis, affirmed that the declarations around such events would be done in good faith. On the other side, Roberto Pinotti and Henry Baccarini of the Center Ufologico Nazionale (CUN), also holding important the “case Zanfretta”, they wrote on UFO Notiziario that the hypnosis would irremediably have been polluted by the intrusion of an enquirer, Luciano Boccone.
The regressive hypnosis is considered generally a method a great deal are not trustable, since it is easy for the experimenter “to feed” the patient with false memories. This type of technique in fact it’s not admitted anymore today in the courts. For the thesis of the forgery it also deposes the fact that the beings drawn by Zanfretta are similar to a monster of the film “The monster of the black lagoon” of the comic strip Zagor.
The witnesses’ declarations – Something strange is really happened in Liguria
Some witnesses, among which different colleagues of Zanfretta as well as numerous residents of the communes of Torriglia in Genoa declared to have assisted to strange correlated episodes to the presumed abductions. The marshal Carlo Toccalino, that the night between 6 and December 7 th 1978 was of turn to the operator of the cooperative of guardianaggio, told for example an interview that just before the first presumed meeting, happened around the 24, Zanfretta had asked help to his colleagues via radio exclaiming: “Damn, they’re too hugly! They are not men, they are NOT men!”. Just in those times, some inhabitants of the near Torriglia would have seen where a strong shine in direction of the place Zanfretta it was found.
Alarmed by the interruption of the contact radio, the colleagues Walter Lauria and Raymond Mascia they put on to the search of Zanfretta: they found him tand affirmed that his body was very warm despite the cold of that night. Zanfretta was in state confusionale and feverish.
During the sopralluogo during the next day it would be noticed on the ground two horseshoe imprints having a diameter of around three meters. The thickness was of around 15 cms. Subsequently the was compiled “informative Relationship around the sighting of flying objects not identified and umanoidi from Zanfretta Fortunato”; it will be sent to the Pretura in Genoa.
A life destroyed between science and superstition in Liguria
Under hypnosis, Zanfretta told he would have suffered clinical examinations on board of an UFO. It will report, besides, that the presumed alien would have manifested the intention to move in the future on the Earth.
The history of Zanfretta has inspired, in 1984, a book joint today to its third edition, to signature of the journalist Rino Di Stephen that can be considered “the father of the Zanfretta case”.
Zanfretta affirms besides that the story of that events provoked repeated and humiliating episodes of derision invading his private life: “Unknown people phone me. I don’t know what I have seen, however I have seen them. I am not a liar”.

General Tips For Seeking The Paranormal From Professional Ghost
By John Fair
There has been an enormous upsurge in the interest of paranormal phenomena in recent years. There have been many causes speculated, from the weakening of the base of traditional western Judeo-Christian spirituality to a reaction to the mobility of American society manifest as a longing to commune with long dead ancestors. While the psychologists and sociologists continue to debate the issue, the popularity of so called ghost hunting continues to rise. For those who believe in such paranormal phenomena and are seeking to strike out on their own, consider this advice from top ghost hunters.
First, be sure to receive training from qualified ghost hunters before striking out on your own. According to professional ghost hunters, those who attempt to make contact with spirits without being reasonably prepared are at a risk to incur damage, either physically or, more likely, psychologically. While some ghost hunters argue over whether or not spirits can physically harm humans, there is a strong consensus that an encounter for one who is not psychologically ready can leave lasting mental and emotional scars. Most physical injury is caused by amateur ghost hunters fleeing the scene in the dark and running into or tripping over unseen obstacles.
Seasoned ghost hunters suggest that you case the scene in the daylight before returning at night. Having a mental map of the area will help you to keep your bearings in the dark and can help you avoid injury. Ghost hunters say that knowing the lay of the land is also helpful in case the situation becomes uncomfortable and you feel the need to quickly retreat. Being certain of the path out of the encounter area can lead to a feeling of greater control over the situation and can reduce the feelings of fear and panic that can occur. Keep your mind open and discover the darkness.

What is the Paranormal?
By Keith Ward
The paranormal has gained a great deal of publicity in recent years, mostly thanks to cinema and television shows focusing on paranormal activity. However, few know exactly what the paranormal actually is.
Paranormal is defined as any experiences that cannot be explained through science. This can range from anything spiritual based to extraterrestrial. However, there are specific differences between these forms of paranormal activity.
Extraterrestrial paranormal activity revolves around the topic of aliens from other planets, as well as UFOs and alien abductions. Spiritual based paranormal activity has quite a wide variety of mediums including psychic phenomenon, ghosts, and
even demonic activity. There are also other types that rest somewhere between the two.
The most popular of the paranormal phenomenon that stand between extraterrestrial and spiritual is the concept of space/time rifts, which have been attributed to the activity in the Bermuda Triangle, as well as similar activity around the globe.
Extraterrestrial activity is a form of paranormal phenomenon that has been actively researched and experienced for the better part of a hundred years; although it gained further publicity in the nineteen fifties with the Roswell Incident in Roswell, New
Mexico. Before that, alien abductions and reports of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, were merely whispers between farmers. They were not verified and there were fears that speaking of such things openly would result in being locked away in a mental asylum.
However, after the very public and very hushed crash of, what many believe to be a space craft of some sort in the small town of Roswell, New Mexico, those who had experienced these paranormal events were no longer afraid to speak openly. From
that point, there were more and more reports of paranormal activity revolving around aliens and UFOs and the numbers of those reports have grown exponentially. Thousands of reports of alien abductions, as well as sightings of “flying saucers” and
“strange lights” are reported every day around the world. These sightings are not always verified and most frequently are viewed as unreliable.
There are, however, many reports each year that are verified and investigated. UFO sightings are reviewed in the thousands, but only a few hundred of them are investigated. The Arizona sightings in early 2009 were one of the few that were investigated thoroughly. There were over a hundred eye witnesses that saw the same paranormal event, and many of them were able to record it on video.
Most investigations into these particular paranormal events are only preformed when there are a certain number of witnesses to account for the activity. Also among the extraterrestrial paranormal activity is crop circles. This phenomenon occurs mostly in corn and wheat fields and occur all over the globe. However, they are not always valid claims. It has become a form of a hoax to create these intricate designs in fields and blame alien activity to get publicity for a town or farm. Mostly, crop circles are difficult to validate as being actual paranormal phenomenon because it always occurs at night and there are never any actual witnesses to the occurrence.
Almost all paranormal activity involving spiritual activity can be verified, validated, or explained using scientific methods. The claims that are validated usually involve hauntings of homes and spiritual activity that surround certain people. This particular form of paranormal activity has been experienced for centuries and viewed in many different ways, including the
spirits needing to find rest, or give a message, and demonic activity.
Ghosts and standard hauntings involving disembodied voices and sounds, and also apparitions of the deceased are common. These hauntings are categorised as, either intelligent or residual. Intelligent hauntings involve disembodied voices that know what is being said by living people as well as things being moved in the home or building. A residual haunting is usually an apparition that re-enacts the activities in death that they preformed in life.
Typically, these hauntings involve visions of people standing at windows, by beds, or walking up and down stairs and courtyards. These tend to be the more standard hauntings.
There have been several hauntings that involved a demonic presence. These hauntings are extremely terrifying for those that have experienced them. House possessions are fairly common when demons are present. There are also many claims of demonic possessions in humans, however, many of these claims are unable to be validated. It is typical that the Catholic Church, upon gaining information about a human possession, investigates it further to decide whether it is a true demonic possession or not. When it is, the Catholic Church acts quickly to exorcise the demonic presence and rid the home or person of the evil entity.
The most famous of these paranormal activities is recorded as the exorcism of a young girl named Emily Rose. It has been the subject of several films and television shows, as well as several documentaries. Annelise Michel, however, did not survive the exorcism and the Priest that preformed it was arrested and tried for murder.
Paranormal activity occurs around us every day. Some of us can see it, hear it, or feel it, but others cannot. This does not make the accounts of paranormal activity invalid, it just makes it difficult to validate. There are many organisations that use scientific process to validate the claims of paranormal activity, and they are largely successful in proving their findings to be true and accurate.

Wendigo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wendigo (also Windigo, Weendigo, Windago, Windiga, Witiko, Wihtikow, and numerous other variants) is a mythical creature appearing in the mythology of the Algonquian people. It is a malevolent cannibalistic spirit into which humans could transform, or which could possess humans. Those who indulged in cannibalism were at particular risk, and the legend appears to have reinforced this practice as taboo.
Wendigo psychosis is a culture-bound disorder which involves an intense craving for human flesh and the fear that one will turn into a cannibal. This once occurred frequently among Algonquian Native cultures, though has declined with the Native American urbanization.
Recently the Wendigo has also become a horror entity of contemporary literature and film, much like the vampire, werewolf, or zombie, although these fictional depictions often bear little resemblance to the original entity.
