“It’s July 1967, and John keeps being barraged with weirdness,” aptly says Doug Skinner, keeper of this blog. How much of what is reported to Keel and relayed to us is fiction and how much is some kind of very strange reality is hard to plumb, but one enterprising reader took the effort to fact-check […]

It is 1967 and the ufological convention is over, but the “dirty tricks” still continue, with tales of bogus postal inspectors, odd phone messages to Jaye Paro, and apartment invasions, including one literally more than close to home. Oh, and Agar gives Paro a message with end-of-time prophetic content while Apol debunks the apparitions of […]

John Keel’s strange days continue, as Jaye Paro reports her ongoing contacts with Apol and Agar, containing the usual unusual assortment of weird details. Then there are the stories Keel relates about the 1967 Congress of Scientific Ufologists, including Gray Barker’s received prophecy of doom fulfilled in the death of Frank Edwards, the impressive speaking […]

More of the John Keel-Jaye Paro-Contactee saga, with Keel annoying “Princess Moon Owl,” mysterious early-morning phone calls, a disturbing prophecy, and Apol and Agar found in the Farmingdale library consulting an old copy of “Who’s Who.” Like a Commenter and the blog administrator, we are particularly struck by the statement of Jaye’s friend “Richard”: “She’s […]

The continuing story of John Keel’s entrapment in the Jaye Paro narrative continues, with Paro providing a detailed story of the promised visit of Colonel J.L. Dalton. Keel ponders the meaning of this strange interview and the continuing antics of Princess Moon Owl, as reported by some of the local “lunatic fringe” of “pseudo-contactees.” In […]

“The story continues!” So starts the brief commentary to this next phase of the fascinating and goofy association between John Keel and Jaye Paro (plus who else real or imaginary is also involved). Keel remains mightily suspicious of the whole thing, but the tantalizing possibility that “the early stages of contact are now over” and […]

“Is J.P. Paro a conspirator trying to drive me nuts?” asks John Keel, as his weird and wonderful odyssey with the contactees continues. Much of the strange tale Keel tells revolves around a “confidence test” supposedly administered to Ms. Paro by the shadowy Apol and Agar. Keel recognizes such stock folkloric or even conspiracy elements […]

“If this is a hoax, it is the most elaborate one ever,” writes John Keel in his Daily Record for June 11, 1967, as things “get curiouser and curiouser” with contactee-claimant Jaye P. Paro. Paro relates a visit to radio station WBAB from a 6’2″ woman who called herself “Princess Moon Owl” and dressed the […]

We continue our odyssey with John Keel and his contact Jaye Paro. In this installment Keel marvels at the strange things Paro reports happened to a letter he had sent her to forward to Mr. Apol, and expresses perplexed doubts about the whole affair. While we are on the subject of interesting characters, Acariya Mun’s […]

Diving deeper into the pool of Nessie reports, Glasgow Boy discovers John Keel’s reports of a sighting on Loch Ness were incorrect and based on an earlier more general report about sea monsters. Seems like an easy mistake to make if you ask us. Next we look at Medieval Marvels: Italian Dragonets . Dr. Beachcombing […]
