I received in the mail yesterday a copy of the new book from Rosemary Ellen Guiley & Philip J. Imbrogno, The Vengeful Djinn: Uncovering the Hidden Agenda of Genies.
So far, I have only had the opportunity to skim through the pages of the book, but it looks to be an excellent piece of work, and I'll be reviewing it at my Reviews blog, just as soon as I have read it.
But, there's one thing that I wanted to mention, as it's relevant (at least, I think it is!) to my Final Events book.
As I noted in Final Events, one of the people I interviewed was a certain Dr. Mandor, a distinctly creepy character who had much to say about apparent U.S. Government research suggesting that UFOs have demonic - rather than extraterrestrial - origins.
As I noted in my book (when it was published last September), Mandor - who had worked deep in the heart of the murky world of officialdom in the early-1980s - had a deep fascination, and maybe even an obsession, with Djinns. Indeed, I noted in my book how his unsettling apartment was packed with images and statues of such entities.
Well, it so happens that in The Vengeful Djinn there is a story of Philip Imbrogno's trip to Oman in 1995. During the course of the visit, Imbrogno had the opportunity to speak with a person described as "a teacher," who had apparently seen a Djinn, but who also had awareness that not only did the U.S. Government know of Djinns, but that they were also "trying to deal with them."
This sounds very much like some of the things related to me, and cited in Final Events, about how elements of the U.S. Government were supposedly trying to do "deals" - or, perhaps, near-Faustian pacts - with paranormal entities of a presumed demonic nature.
That Mandor was involved in this, and had an obsession with Djinns, leads me to wonder if the U.S. Government people Imbrogno's teacher was talking about in relations to Djinns were somehow connected to the people I interviewed for my book - including Mandor.
It will be interesting to see if further data surfaces on this issue.
Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, this will be interesting material to explore on Thursday March 8 on your show. Here's something else to put into the mix. As you may recall from the show we did some months ago, I have been investigating shadow people for about 5-6 years now. I have come to the conclusion that they are djinn -- everything about them fits the djinn modus operandi. I also discovered a significant link between shadow people and ETs (though I don't think what we call "ETs" are really extraterrestrial, but something else). People who are most bedeviled by shadow people tend to also have, or have had, marked and/or frequent ET experiences, usually of a contact or abduction nature. While djinn are not demons, there is a "demonic" faction of them in terms of their behavior -- so might that fit the research you've done in your book Final Events?
