SPACE TENTACLES EAT CHICAGO: BRINGS ILLINOIS BUDGET WOES TO FOREFRONT


(Chicago, IL):  If you’re wondering what you are seeing in the skies over the windy city, you’re not alone. Thousands of people gathered together outside Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Navy Pier, and even lined the windows of Chicago’s most famous landmark, the Formerly Known as Sears Tower. It’s a bird, it’s a plane! No, it’s hungry tentacles from space, and they are quite a spectacle to behold. High overhead the world famous Chicago skyline are billowing, writhing clouds of massive tentacles winding and swirling as if in random, haphazard patterns. 

Outside Shedd Aquarium, we caught up with an onlooker and witness to Hastur’s terrible glory. “I was out here with my kids and Bobby yells up at me, ‘Mommy! Octopus!’” stated Dana Shirefield as she and her two children stood among the throngs of people outside Shedd Aquarium. “We had just come out of the aquarium and I didn’t think anything of it but he kept yelling until I finally looked up and saw about a dozen people get plucked up from the far side of the parking lot and I screamed! Oh it gave me such a scare, (laughing) I almost swallowed my gum! I screamed, the people being ripped apart were screaming.” Mrs. Shirefield consoled little Bobby who was uncontrollably sobbing while his older brother held his hand staring blankly to the sky. “Mommy didn’t mean to scare you Bobby I just got startled is all.”


Whip like at the tip and enormously girthy as one follows them to their origin, the tentacles are speculated to be the mouth parts of some colossal beast that is in a stationary orbit over the city of Chicago, but the size of the creature far above is impossible to judge because there is no visibility beyond the tentacle-packed sky, making some residents ask the question “is there anything to worry about?” ...[READ MORE]

GHOST HAUNTS FAMILY HOME: MAKES PARENTS LOOK LIKE ENABLERS


(Decatur, IL):  Although 45% of Americans believe in ghosts, the majority of the population remains skeptical.  Still there are a few instances that turn skeptics into believers, such as the case of the Harriston family.  Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac in Decatur Illinois, the Harriston family lives in a typical ranch home complete with two-car garage, patio and above-ground pool.  Ronald Harriston, his wife of twenty-two years Becky, and their adult children Dana and Robert have lived in the home for over a decade.  However, another resident in the home doesn’t live there, because they are deceased. A ghost has haunted the Harriston residence for as long as the family has lived there and has caused years turmoil in the family.

The haunting probably began around September 2006 as the Harristons were moving in. “It started almost immediately.” Ronald Harriston recalled. “I took a job opportunity here in Decatur, and we had to move from our country home outside of Arthur to the ‘big city’ (Mr. Harriston gestured quotes with his fingers). It was a hard move for the kids because they had to leave their friends behind, but I couldn’t miss out on this opportunity.  We were in the house for less than a week when Becky and I started finding things out of place.  Like silverware was still in the dish drainer that was supposedly put up hours ago.  And it seemed to like the kids’ toys. We’d have the kids clean their rooms, then come back a couple hours later and find the toys all over the floor again after the children said they’d already cleaned their rooms. If Becky and I went in there and cleaned their rooms, it would stay that way for a couple of days, so eventually we realized that the ghost didn’t like adults.”


Becky further described the haunting as the years went on. “Clothes. It likes to mess with the kid’s clothes. When I would take the clothes into Robert’s room and tell him to put them up, I would go back in later that evening and the clothes I just folded were on the floor. At first I would scold him but he kept saying it was a ghost. I was skeptical at first, but Dana’s room seemed to be another favorite place the ghost would go.  I would put her clothes on the bed and return to find them still folded, but moved to the foot of the bed. It was like the ghost made a point of taking the clothes out of the dresser after the children put them up. It was crazy! Those poor kids got messed with so bad.  Like Robert said, when we had anything to do with putting things up, the ghost would leave it be.” ... [READ MORE]

SCIENTIST: WE ARE CLOSE TO CLONING FICTIONAL CHARACTERS


(Cooks Mills, IL): In stark contrast to the rural country setting, the conspicuously subdued facility that houses APPLIED CREATIVE GENETICS LABORATORIES (ACGL) is a futuristic tower of gleaming chrome with flocks of scientists flowing to and fro in bright white lab coats. There’s a flurry of activity here.  “You can feel the energy.” One passer-by commented as we made our way to the administration building to meet the chief scientist, Dr. Frank Steinen; whose vision twenty-six years ago led him to compile a team of the world’s top visionaries in the field of genetics.

“We have but one goal here, and that is to change the course of human history.” Dr. Steinen stated. “It says so above the main entrance in the lobby by the vending machines.  Those words greet us every day. We mustn’t give up. The world, the future of mankind depends on it.”
What has brought on the excitement at ACGL is news of several technological breakthroughs that have recently come about that could give them a huge boost to the goal they are striving for: the cloning of a real, live fictional character. Dr. Mary Shelburn is the head of the exploratory research and development division, and while she talked about the project she was visibly energized. “It’s so thrilling to be alive and present while history is being made. We are so close to the genetic recreation of a being that has only walked within our imagination.”

Dr. Steinen remained hopeful that one day that science would develop enough to clone fictional characters, but after examining the new technological tools at their disposal, he is dealing in absolutes. “Within 15 years we will see the birth of a fully functioning fictional character. You can take that to the bank as your people say.”


Although the science of cloning fictional characters has come astonishingly far in just the thirty years that the National Science Foundation and other high-caliber government grants have been fully funding the operation, it hasn’t come without a price.  “We weren’t ready…” Dr. Shelburn stated solemnly “We thought we had it right three years ago, when we attempted to clone Harry Potter from the popular series written by J.K. Rowling. We never made a press release about that project so… well you are getting an exclusive right here.” ... [READ MORE]
