Nikola Tesla

Happy Birthday, Nikola Tesla!!

(first published 10th July 2013)

Today we celebrate what would have been the 157th birthday of one of the greatest minds to have ever lived.

Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Lika, in Croatia. Nikolas Father was Serbian Orthodox Priest, and his Mother a stay at home Muj, but one who would influence Nikola no-end, Djuka, his Mother was very inventive and designed her own home appliances to make her work easier for herself.

Nikola was a bright young man and studied at Realschule, Karlstadt, The Polytechnic Institute in Austria and The University of Prague, his specialities were mathematics and physics.

It was in 1881 that Nikola started working for a telephone company in Hungary as an electrical engineer. Soon he joined the Continental Edison Company in Paris France, which in turn led him to accept an offer for work in America with Thomas Edison in New York City.

Tesla & Edison got along well at first, but things changed when Tesla challenged Edisons notion that currents can only flow in one direction ( Direct Current ). Tesla knew better, and knew currents were cyclical and could change direction (AC) – This led to a stoush between the two men over a bonus Edison had offered Tesla to improve his system. Edison went back on his word and told Tesla the bonus had been an “American joke”. Tesla, justly, quit working for Edison

George Westinghouse, an American Industrialist, inventor and entrepreneur, saw an opportunity with Tesla Patents, to disrupt his rival Edison, and bought 40 U.S. Patents of Tesla's designs for polyphase alternating current generators, transformers and motors... Tesla ended up working for Westinghouse, where money was spent developing the AC system.

In 1895, one of Tesla's dreams became reality when his design for a new hydroelectric power plant became operational at Niagara Fall....

Tesla was the inventor of many things we use today, in fact, without Tesla, modern society would be very different indeed.

1. Tesla Coil & auto ignition system

2. AC polyphase system

3. Exploration of solar and thermal energy

Paranormal Investigators: Past & Present: HAPP Croatia

HAPP Croatia

This week we travel to the city of Split, a Mediterranean city on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, centred around the ancient Roman Palace of Emperor Diocletian in Croatia to meet Emily of HAPP Croatia, but in a first for our blog, we have not been given permission to use a photo of Emily, who would prefer to keep her anonymity for now, which I think would be a first in the ego-based paranormal community!

I asked Emily how she became interested in the paranormal?

 "When I was a kid, about 4 years old, I had a strange feeling that I don’t belong here and my real parents are somewhere up so I used to watch the sky every night and cry for them. In that time I started to receive messages from my invisible friend who taught me how to use mental abilities to predict danger, "read" people and things which can help me in the future. I also had dreams about abductions by military people and many years after I realised that weren’t dreams."

Have you had anything paranormal occur in your life? (if so, what has happened)

 "Yes. The most paranormal thing that happened to me were abductions. I can remember many of that, places, people, aliens and I have 2 visible and touchable implants in my skin. It all started when I was so little. After I started to talk about abductions, people in black suits were monitoring me, running after me and tried to hit me with a car.
There are many ghost stories happened in my room, after I woke up in the morning I noticed white wax on my wall. That was strange. After my neighbour passed away, I didn’t know that, but I saw him, walking near me, and he was dead for 3 days then. He looked strange to me. He wore a black suit and his eyes were black."
"Also, electronics become crazy near me sometimes. Once when I was going back home from school, 3 cars on the parking lot started to work when I walked near them. After I went they turned off."

Why did you become an investigator/ researcher?
 "Because I want to find that place where they took me after the abduction and many other people. Some of them die there in a lot of pain and the most of them are homeless. I want to help them. I know how that place looks like."

How has becoming an investigator changed your life?
 "When you "hit the right spot" it is very dangerous to be an investigator. There is much big stuff in the paranormal world that no many people know."

I asked Emily, who is the founder of HAPP about her team and if she had previously worked in other teams
 "I prefer solo work, but I need a team so I have a friend who I works with, but we cooperate with many other investigators."

I asked Emily to share three locations she was most impressed with, but only one location impressed her enough to get a mention!

"Bed room of one girl. We recorded noise while she was sleeping. It was horror what we hear after on the tape. We don’t go on the field for now. All we need is the experience of abductees and by that, we mean on the places they can remember."


Do you have any interesting stories related to an investigation that you can share Emily?
 "A woman contacted with a problem with ghosts. Electronics explode, TV turns on and off by itself, her baby follow something invisible, things move and fall on the ground. She put a camera to record her son while he was sleeping and the camera was moving. Scary. We were talk with her and after a while, we found out that someone from her family died in that house and not so long ago. After she realized that, all stopped."

Has anything unexplainable or paranormal ever happened on an investigation that you wish to share?
 "We were investigate an old part of a hospital. It was under ground, wet, dark and spooky. In one moment we could feel something is there. We weren’t alone anymore. There was an old broken metal telephone without wires and anything, but it started to ring just like a radio in Silent Hill game. We run away and never came back haha :)"

What is your best piece of evidence you have captured, and can you tell me about why you consider it good evidence?
 "The best piece of evidence is an implants I have in my skin. I can`t remember how the first one came, but I remember the other one. After I had a "dream" about an underground hospital, operation room and military persons, I woke up in the middle of the night with a little bloody wound and a metal thing in it. I can write you everything I can remember from an abductions. They always took me in the same place."

What is your favourite piece of equipment, and why?
 "mp3 player and my computer. the mp3 player helps me to record noises when someone sleep and computer helps me to get all the information I need for my work."

The Stigmata: Father Zlatko Sudac

The Stigmata of Zlatko Sudac

Father Sudac is a Catholic Priest in Yugoslavia from the town of Vrbnik on Krk Island, Croatia. He began studying for the priesthood in 1993 after finishing a term of service, which is mandatory, in the Yugoslavian Army.

On the 29^th of June 1998, Sudac was ordained as a Catholic Priest. Father Sudac currently involves himself in religious seminars and retreats in his home country, which bring in large crowds due to his Stigmata. Father Sudac's stigmata appear on his hands, side and feet, as one would expect, but also as a cross on his forehead.

It is said as he paints, his fingertips bleed, as does his Stigmata.

There has been a growing cult around Father Sudac, with one Clergyman claiming “ There isn’t a Church in the World that can hold Sudac”, meaning that large numbers of parishioners are coming to see the miracle of the stigmata for themselves, and hope to be blessed by the young priest.

With great fame also comes great scrutiny, and Sudac is finding that many people, sceptical people, are not believing his stigmata is real, so at the same time as thousands flocking to see him, a small number, of louder voiced, opinionated people, are there to mock and prove him to be a fake.

Interestingly, Sudac often does not appear with the Stigmata whilst delivering Mass, this, of course, adds more weight in the mind of the sceptics, but for the true believers, they have faith that this priest is telling the truth, that Jesus himself has bestowed this gift upon him, and for them, seeing isn’t believing, faith for them is enough.

Sudac is still alive and well in Croatia. He still delivers Mass as required by duty, and attracts large throngs of worshippers who come to witness his Stigmata and other holy gifts. In time we could well witness him become a Saint.
