What Lurks in the Darkness

“It is the doom of men that they forget.” – Merlin (Excalibur 1981)

A few months back I wrote:

A fragmented comet is thought by many to be the source of the first global catastrophe (12,000 B.C.). What caused the upheaval at the end of the Bronze Age is still uncertain (1177 B.C.). During the early years of what would become known as the Middle Ages, a supervolcano in what is ocean between Sumatra and Java sent the world into chaos (535 A.D.).

Humanity has witnessed, and barely survived, a number of global catastrophes. We’ve not seen such level of disaster from nature in centuries. Will our luck hold out? We pass through what is known as the Taurid meteor stream twice a year. These are the remnants of a fragmented comet that came apart 10,000 years ago. Twice a year our world is at risk. These events can be attributed to the June Taurids:

  • On June 25, 1178, an impact on the Moon created the massive Giordano Bruno crater.
  • On June 30, 1908, a fragment exploded over Tunguska in Russia, destroying 2000 square kilometers of forest. A few hours earlier, and Moscow would have been destroyed.
  • In late June 1975, a swarm of objects impacted the Moon.

There could be more. The Bronze Age collapse is certainly suspicious, and perhaps the catastrophe at the end of the last Ice Age. June (which is now upon us) isn’t the only time Earth is in the danger zone. In Late October, the Taurid meteors often provide a little show — the Halloween Fireballs.

Is it a coincidence that cultures around the world have celebrations around late October focusing on fear and death? What was the common origin, obscured by centuries of religions and beliefs? Randall Carlson has searched through the (supposed) myths, old histories, and the Solar System, and found a cosmic demon that has terrorized Earth for centuries.

Is Halloween’s origins not in earthly terrors but ones that came from the sky?

Perhaps these celestial demons been terrorizing mankind for much of its existence.

When will they return?
