Page 21 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |* Skeleton in the closet: to hide something, generally a deep dark secret | | of a family. No one is certain how this phrase came about. The first | | known written form of the phrase was in 1845 in The Oxford English | | Dictionary. The first time it appeared in any story was in William | | Makepeace Thackeray when he used it in a story submitted and printed in | | a magazine called Punch. | |* Johnny-come-lately: someone who arrives late or someone who is not very | | experienced, or a newcomer. The usage of this phrase first appeared in | | 1839 when journalist Charles F. Briggs wrote it in "The Adventures of | || Harry Franco." It was used originally when identifying a new sailor on | | board a ship; generally called a Johnny Newcome, it soon was converted | | to our current phrase of today. | |* Betting on a dark horse: of course this term comes to us from the rac- | | ing world. But the meaning may be surprising to you. It was originally | | used to describe a horse that had been kept under-wraps and his qualities | | a secret. The phrase was first used by Benjamin Disraeli in "The Young | | Duke" in 1831. It has come to mean something else entirely today. The | | phrase has now come to mean someone or anything that was not counted up- | | on. In political worlds it has come to mean the candidate that isn't | | likely to win. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Editor's Comments! Page 22 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | To the dedicated readers of the Chatterbox BBS! We received this week a | | message from your SysOp regarding the delay in getting Eeeek BITS! The | | comments he left were these: | | ".....so why can't you get the thing on time?" | | Don't blame your SysOp. We have had a series of odd things happen lately | | in our private lives and the result has been to delay the magazine. Sorry | | it has happened, but these things do happen from time to time. | | "......Can you find the mag on another system?" | | Sorry, nope! We create the magazine and your SysOp picks it up directly | | from us. It isn't any place else until it is on our BBS system. | | ".....How come the computer is down or you say the phone doesn't answer." | | Well when we know we are going to be delayed with the magazine, we take | | our system down in hopes we save SysOps calling long distance those addi- | | tional costs of calling and not getting the most recent issue. | | We are happy you are dedicated to our magazine. We hope you will under- | | stand that besides doing the magazine weekly we also work 40 hours a week, | | have families to take care of and on occasion we must tend to the family | | needs first.

Page 26 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | It is getting near again. Better start getting ready! They are in the | | stores already, on display, reminding you that you must take some action. | | What is it? Why it is a Valentine's Card. This custom comes to us from | | two customs that were combined. The Romans celebrated the festival of | | the Lupercalia on February 15th and they also believed that on February | | 14th was the first day of spring and the mating season for birds. The | | latter promoted people to begin selecting mates on the 14th and having a | | festive celebration of their choice on the 15th. Over several years this | | remained the custom. Finally the two days were combined and Valentine's | | Day was born officially. | | The first Valentine was designed and developed by one Charles, Duke of | | Orleans in 1415. Charles was held prisoner during the war and often times | | wrote romantic poems to his wife. Hence the writing of poetry to one's | | valentine. | | The actual printed Valentine was the invention of Frank Staff in the 17th | | century. By the 1780s the printed Valentine became quite common, gaining | | huge popularity in Germany especially, where they called them "friendship | | cards." | | So don't forget your Valentine on February 14th! Get that card early and | | maybe some flowers or candy. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Mrs. President... Page 27 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Here are a few interesting tid bits about a few of the Nation's former | | First Ladies - we bet ya hadn't heard these! | | | | Eleanor Roosevelt ate 3 chocolate covered garlic balls every single day | | in her adult life. Her doctor had told her it would improve her memory. | | [She'd at least remember where the Pepto Bismol was!!] | | | | The wife of James Monroe, Elizabeth, requested that the White House | | staff refer to her as "Your Majesty". | | | | Martha Washington was a terrible speller, she spelled "Cat" with 2 "t"s. | | | | Ida McKinley suffered from seizures, probably epilepsy. The way she & | | her husband dealt with this during a State Dinner, was when a fit would | | begin, William would drop a hankie over her face. She would leave it on | | until the seizure had ended. Then Ida would remove the hankie as if | | nothing had even happened. | | | | John Quincy Adam's wife Louisa spun silk from the silkworms inhabiting | | the Mulberry trees on the White House lawn. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 28 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Stella did it. | | | | Stella put him up to the whole thing. | | | | That's how the little man found himself crouched on a kneeler before rows | | of candles the dank, musky smell of which sent his head spinning for want | | of unpolluted oxygen. | | | | "Holy Spirit of all, master of the Light and the Dark, Prince of the | | Blessed and the UnBlessed, reveal Thy word to these Thy unworthy servants | | that we may know Thy Will, that we may serve in what is pleasing to Thy | | sight." | | | | The Krausmeyer gagged on a new unbreathable - the choking stench of | | incense which hung in heavy folds on the stale air of the little chapel. | | Through eyes watering uncontrollably, the newest member of Team Eeeek | | squinted toward the altar and its seven high priestesses shrouded there | | in the smoky gloom. With arms thrust outward in draping silk sleeves, the | | seven "Servants of the Prince" menaced the tiny congregation with chanted | | exhortations to obedience and sacrifice. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 29 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | But where was Stella? | | | | "Let us only to serve, oh Prince, Thy intentions for the preparation of | | the UnHoly that Your coming may be swift and merciful and that we, Thy | | Servants, may appear acceptable to Thy sight." | | | | With teary eyes the Krausmeyer searched the darkened nooks of the occult | | chapel in hopes of a glimpse of his friend, Stella Blue. | | | | Stella. | | The unproclaimed Spiritual leader of the Team; the ersatz "mother" of | | the mentally ascendant, socially deficient geniuses in the employ of | | Eeeek International. | | | | Stella. Beneficent helpmate and counsellor; humble guide, wise mentor. | | Stella, friend to all, defamer of none. Stella... | | | | ...who had dropped the Krausmeyer among these spiritually deviant like a | | mouldy pumpkin on Halloween. And had disappeared as quickly as a demon in | | the presence of the Holy Pentateuch. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 30 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Stella! Who usually knew what was best for her charges and who had never, | | as far as was known, abandoned a friend. | | | | Stella, Stella, Stella! | | Why have you left me here, Stella? | | | | The Krausmeyer drew his neck into his shirt collar - an instinctive | | turtle recoil of survival - and tried to calm himself. She must have had | | a reason, he thought. She must have left me here for my own good. | | | | But what - WHAT! - was that reason? | | | | "Purify our hearts, oh Prince, that when Thy time is at hand, Thy | | servants will be worthy to receive Thy presence though never worthy to | | anoint Thy body though for such honor do Thy servants prepare | | themselves." | | | | The service appeared to be ending, so the Krausmeyer scanned the walls | | for the nearest means of escape; he didn't wish to be available for the | | inevitable proselytizing. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 31 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "Prepare the bodies of Thy faithful, Oh Prince, that only the purest | | present themselves at Thy coming." That seemed to be it; the "Servants of | | the Prince" were filing down from the dais & members of the congregation | | were stepping out of their pews. Hymie did likewise. But on his way past | | the chancel rail, the little man was accosted by a huge male acolyte. | | | | "Have you risen for the cleansing?" the gruff voice asked. | | | | Hymie shook his head and was waving the question away with a smile when | | the corner of his diverted eye inadvertently caught the scrutiny in the | | man's face. Oh, no, he thought; I'm in for grilling now! "All are welcome | | at the gate of light," the man said. "Present yourself to the healing." | | | | That's when the Krausmeyer noticed that the service was far from | | concluded; every aisle in the chapel had filled with waiting supplicants. | | Hymie glanced behind the rail and saw that the "Servants" had engaged in | | a sort of "laying on of the hands" with the congregation. As each member | | stepped forward, she was seated on a low stool and subjected to the | | probes and prayers of one of the seven after which she returned to her | | pew adorned with a beatific smile. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 32 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Hymie looked up at his detainer, carved a friendly smile onto his lips | | and waved his "no thanks" at the large man. "Wait!" the acolyte demanded. | | "The healing will conclude shortly." With those words, the watchman of | | the faithful pushed Hymie into the pew & stood guard over his escape. | | Darn that Stella! Hymie thought. This must be some kind of a joke. But | | joke or not, the little man was compelled to sit out the service under | | the puzzled scrutiny of the huge acolyte. It was a surveillance the | | Krausmeyer did not enjoy. | | * | | "Have they annoyed you thoroughly?" the big woman asked Hymie. | | The Krausmeyer squirmed in his chair and frowned in answer to the | | question. The woman smiled. | | | | "Ah, yes," she said. "They have treated you shamelessly! First the big | | oaf at the door detained you without permission, then the Servants | | refused to administer the healing for which the oaf detained you!" As | | Hymie wondered how she knew all of that when she had not been present for | | any of it, the woman patted his knee said gently, "Of course you can go. | | And please accept my apologies. The youthful tend too exuberance in their | | causes." | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 33 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Hymie peered up at the big woman and found that he could not discern her | | age. Her face held a network of intersecting lines yet the skin itself | | appeared firm, robust, with even a hint of pink where Hymie expected | | pallid grey. | | | | "I'm eighty-six," the woman answered to Hymie's unspoken question. "I'm | | about as old and as dilapidated as this worn out church." | | | | For the first time Hymie took in the tiny apsidal alcove in which he had | | been cloistered shortly before the service had ended. From atop a stool | | in the center of the area, he had undergone the rejection of each of the | | beautiful seven "Servants" who had entered, turned up their noses and | | hastily retreated. Although he was in no mood for further rejection, he | | evidenced a certain fascination for the occult objects which adorned the | | darkened room. There were cauldrons and bottles and gemstones and amulets | | resting everywhere. | | | | "Most of the items housed here are centuries old," the woman said. "Some | | of them pre-date the time of Christ." When Hymie looked at her, she | | added, "We use them in our rituals." | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 34 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Hymie's curiosity had peaked enough that he wanted to ask questions - but | | of course he couldn't. The kind woman seemed to sense his impairment and | | spoke for him. | | | | "Mostly we do healing," she explained. "We believe in the power of the | | Spirit within and strive to help our aspirants release their own energy. | | We don't employ coercion and we ask for no financial obligation." Then | | she waited. | | | | The Krausmeyer's head dropped momentarily to his chest; then he slowly | | lifted his eyes imploringly into the woman's gaze. | | | | "You're wondering why the Seven rejected you?" she asked. "Do you really | | want to know?" | | | | Hymie nodded. | | | | "They were afraid of you. That is, they were afraid of your infirmities. | | They didn't believe they could help you." Hymie's eyes clouded with | | doubt. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 35 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "All right," she said. "Your capacity for discernment is greater than I | | had imagined. It is rare that anyone doubts my occasional 'white lie.' | | But I hope you'll also discern that I only meant to spare you." Hymie | | nodded. For some reason he did trust this woman, her open expression, | | her tone of voice, her willingness to admit fault, & for the same reasons,| | he found himself liking her. | | | | "In our work, it is necessary to touch the supplicant. We do this to draw | | attention to a particular chakra in order that the supplicant stimulate | | the area with her attention. The reason the ladies didn't work with you | | is that they didn't want to place their hands on you," the woman admitted | | quietly. "They found your physique beyond their capacity to control their | | revulsion. I...I hope I haven't offended you too much." | | | | The Krausmeyer nodded sadly. Yes the woman's explanation rang with truth; | | he'd had such experiences throughout his life & could envision the disgust| | he'd engendered in the pretty young ladies. He pressed his lips firmly | | together, to contain his own self-revulsion, & batted the moisture from | | his eyes with a series of quick blinks. When he'd regained control, he | | started to leave; but the woman stopped him with her words. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 36 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "I have some idea of rejection," she told him. "The only reason I'm | | tolerated as a Servant is that when I was a child, it was foretold that I | | would live to see the Coming of the Master. The young ones keep me around| | in hopes that they'll be present if the prophecy comes true. Other than | | that, I'm not of much use to anybody." Hymie peered into the woman's eyes| | - and found understanding. "I'm a good healer," the woman whispered. | | "Please... It would be my honor to be your Servant." | | | | The gangly, unattractive old woman held out her hands. Into them slipped | | the Krausmeyer. While the misshapened fingers probed the little man's | | skull, the 7 beautiful "Servants" filed in the room. "You're not TOUCHING | | him, are you?" one of them hissed. Another said, "We must remain clean! | | For the UnAnointed! Even one as...one who has contributed as much as you | | should attempt to remain undefiled!" | | | | "Undefiled?" the old woman echoed. "How can one become defiled in the | | Master's work?" Then she said to the Krausmeyer, "You've an abundance of | | spiritual energy, you should let it pass into the world where it would | | benefit all." Repositioning her hands, she said, "An eye for the blond, | | eh? She's not worthy of you. Besides...she's too tall." | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 37 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The seven "Servants" grew more agitated with each caress. "Mother!" one | | of them said. "Heal him if you must! But don't linger on the soiled! A | | man's true spirit is reflected in his body! And this unfortunate has | | obviously tainted his spirit with his choice of life!" | | | | The older woman, gaining more confidence with each pass along the | | Krausmeyer's skull, ignored the young woman's admonitions. "I see you're | | a friend of sister Stella's," she said to Hymie. "Please thank our sister | | for her perception and diligence. May I proceed along your Chakras?" | | Hymie, wondering how much of his life the big woman had seen and chosen | | not to announce, nodded and the ancient healer raised her large hands | | from his skull to place her fingertips on his forehead. She pressed down | | and drew her fingers along his face, released, then repeated the motion. | | | | "Your native intelligence is blocked, as our sister suggests, by a life- | | choice. This too can be released for the benefit of yourself and your | | fellows. Relax. Allow your natural powers free reign. They won't harm | | you." The big woman turned to her companions. "Sisters, would you send | | our new friend a small gift of your energy? He has come in quest and our | | obligation as healers is to assist him in every way that we are able." | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 38 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Shamed by the sincerity of their elder sister's words, the young | | "Servants" bowed into their task. Soon the seven were transmitting a | | collective energy flow into the sickly body of the Krausmeyer. | | | | The older woman touched Hymie's throat, pondered what she felt there, and | | said, "There is nothing wrong with your voice. You could speak if you | | willed to do so. Why do you choose to bind your energy in such a manner?" | | | | Embarrassed the Krausmeyer didn't answer. And with the seven "Servants" | | intent on opening the blockages in him, the old woman settled her hands | | on his heart. | | | | A rush, a forceful current, blew through the Krausmeyer, knocking the old | | woman to the floor. As she lay on her back at the feet of the little man, | | she struggled to stare up at him out of the confusion and disorientation | | of a power surge the like of which she had never known. | | | | "What happened?" shrieked one of the young women. | | | | "We sent him too much of our power," another answered. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 39 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "NO!" the old woman shouted, pushing the word out of her chest with a | | force of will. "He's the one!" | | "One what? The Master?" another questioned. | | "She doesn't mean that! This weakling can't possibly be the UnAnointed!" | | | | "He's the one!" gasped the old woman. | | The seven "Servants" glared at the little man hunched on a stool before | | them, the thought of that emaciated, abused body belonging to the one | | they awaited repugnant to each. | | | | "He's the one!" the old woman insisted. | | The first of the seven turned to the others. "She can't possibly mean | | that this is the Master, the UnAnointed!" | | | | "He's the one!" the old woman shrieked. And as the Krausmeyer shriveled | | into himself with embarrassment and fear, the seven heard her words with | | a feeling that approached horror and revulsion. | | "He's the one!" the old woman screamed. "He's the one!" | | | | To be continued... | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | OVER | |============================ 1 MILLION ===========================| | Northridge.: 818/886-0872 CALLS LOGGED!

She | | knew this was over her head and Christine had no business being | | involved with it either. At least not without someone else being | | involved that knows more about these areas than either of them. | | | | Chris argued most of the way home with her mother about going back to | | the house. | | | | "Mom, we were just getting someplace and then you want to run off," | | Chris told her. | | | | "We don't know enough about this Christine. And we aren't going to do | | anything further until we get someone involved that does." Joyce said | | in her firmest motherly tone of voice. | | | | "But Mom, we don't need to know anything more than what we already do. | | We just need to learn what the truth is and what it is the lady wants | | us to do," Chris insisted. | | | | "We can and we will. You are not to go back to that house without me | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 53 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | and or without someone else from the psychic institute there. Do you | | understand me?" | | | | "Yes Mom, but..." Christine protested. | | | | "There are no exceptions," Joyce stopped walking and held tightly onto | | Christine's arm. She looked directly into Chris's eyes, making sure | | her point was driven home. "I mean it! There are no exceptions." | | | | They walked back in silence. Chris was angry, but said nothing. She | | knew better than to argue with her mother. Even though she was only | | twelve she had learned enough wisdom to hold her tongue. But she fully | | intended to go back, regardless of what her mother said. Besides, | | Chris reasoned, how would she know anyway. | | | | Joyce knew, she knew Chris would think about doing just such a thing. | | But she knew she could curb that thought with a simple ultimatum being | | given. She wasn't certain it would stop Chris but it would make her | | think twice before taking off and going back to that house. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 54 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "If you try to go back without my knowing it," Joyce said quietly to | | Chris, "I'll find out. You know I always find out! And you'll be | | grounded for six months." Joyce didn't expand any further upon what she | | was saying, she knew she didn't have to. | | | | Once they got back home, the rest of the evening turned into a party | | more than anything else. The next morning Joyce called the local | | psychic institute and spoke to someone in charge there. She scheduled | | an appointment for that afternoon for her and Christine. | | | | Joyce and Christine entered the office of Dr. Martha Franks. Dr. | | Franks asked them to explain what they had experienced and what they | | felt was going on in the house. She was acquainted with the old house. | | Though she had never actually been in the old house. | | | | "Do you have any ownership rights to this place?" Dr. Franks asked | | Joyce. | | | | "No, but my daughter and her friends just wondered in there one day and | | had all these things begin happening to them. I don't think anyone | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 55 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | owns the place, per si, it was given to the city about five or so years | | ago. But the city hasn't done anything with it. The historical | | society wanted to have a declared a historical monument but never | | pursued it any further because of the hauntings. That's about all I | | really know. Oh, yeah, I also know the stories, but have no proof of | | any of it, that a newly wed couple moved into the place and within | | three or four days after their wedding the man killed the woman. The | | story goes that the man was a cop. I understand that he committed | | suicide after killing his new wife; but I don't know if any of that is | | really true." | | | | "I've seen her," Christine broke in, "I've seen the woman the guy | | killed. I know it is true. But I'm not sure he committed suicide or | | not." | | | | "Ok, now let me tell you the real story. The house was owned by the | | young woman who married the police officer." Dr. Franks told Joyce and | | Christine. "The police officer was suspected of killing his wife of | | three days but he was never convicted of the crime. He did not commit | | suicide, though the story went out that he had. The truth is, he is | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 56 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | alive and he is still working for the police force." | | | | "I don't understand," Christine questioned Dr. Franks, "what do you | | mean he was suspected of killing his wife but was never convicted?" | | | | "They couldn't get enough evidence to prove he had done the crime. He | | denied having done it. He said someone had to have broken into the | | house and killed her." | | | | "But I saw him," Christine interrupted again. "I saw him in his police | | uniform and he killed her. I watched him do it. I screamed at him to | | stop but he didn't." | | | | "I think we should get a team together and go in there and investigate | | things. Find out what really happened and if the police officer did | | kill her, try to bring him to trial. Set things right, so to speak." | | | | "This is what we need to do," Joyce responded, "the one thing the woman | | asked us to do was get the truth out. She would be released if the | | truth came out." | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 57 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | "Alright then, we will get a team together as soon as possible and go | | back into the house and see if we can get to the truth," Dr. Franks | | said with conviction. "I'll find out who owns it, get permission to be | | in there from the owner and then we'll do it. Until then, I suggest | | you stay clear of the house for the time being and I will call you as | | soon as I have the date scheduled." | | | | "That's agreeable to us," Joyce told her. | | | | The next two days went by slowly. Joyce was very concerned that | | Christine would become impatient and go back to the house. Christine, | | on the other hand, was becoming overly anxious about going back to the | | house. She was convinced she could solve all the problems of the | | woman. | | | | Finally Dr. Franks called. The team was set, the investigation would | | begin the next evening. | | | | That night both Joyce and Christine were so excited about it all that | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 58 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | neither slept very well. Each kept bumping into one another walking | | into the kitchen or to the bathroom several times that night. Finally | | they both just gave in and went to the kitchen to have some hot cocoa. | | | | "Maybe this will help us both sleep," Joyce said as she poured the hot | | chocolate into a cup and handed it to Chris. | | | | "Mom, what do you think will happen tomorrow night?" Chris sipped from | | her cup as she asked the question. | | | | "Hopefully everything will come out and the truth can be told. Then | | the lady in white can be at peace." | | | | "I hope so," Christine said, "she shouldn't be tied to that house | | simply because some jerk killed her." | | | | "I know," Joyce said soothingly to her, "we'll try to bring out the | | truth. That's the best we can do." | | | | They both finished their cocoa and went back to bed, hoping to sleep. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 59 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | They both finally did get sleep for a time and the morning came very | | quickly. They both just sort of dragged through the day, which seemed | | to go on forever. Evening came, Joyce and Christine went to the house | | to meet the investigative crew. | | | | Once they arrived Dr. Franks introduced Joyce and Chris to everyone in | | the group. The psychic, Ann Murphy, asked Chris were she first saw the | | woman. Chris led her upstairs to the bedroom were she had first seen | | the lady in white. The psychic went into the room, while the others of | | the investigation team followed behind her. One of the members of the | | team held a camrecorder and videotaped the entire event. Christine | | walked into the room and stood right beside the psychic. | | | | "Some one is here now," Ann told them, "it is a woman. She is weeping. | | She says we need to know the truth." | | | | Before Ann could finish, Christine's face changed right before the | | entire teams eyes. She was clearly being taken over by the woman in | | white once again. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 60 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "I am Fran, my husband is Charles. Charles thinks I was married before | | and he won't believe I wasn't. We fight, he's so angry. He loses his | | temper and just seems to explode. Suddenly I feel his hands around my | | throat. His fingers wrap around my throat and they get tighter and | | tighter. The whole time he is screaming at me, yelling at me to tell | | him the truth. I try to speak, but I can't. Words won't come out of | | my mouth. I have no air, I can't breathe. Things are starting to go | | dark. Charles is still screaming at me but now he seems distant. | | Suddenly I feel myself leaving my body and I am now near the ceiling, | | looking back into the room, watching Charles gripping tightly to the | | throat of my dead body. I'm gone, I know this. Charles finally | | realizes this and lets go of my throat. He tries, oh so hard he tries, | | to bring me back to life. But nothing happens. I had a turtle neck | | sweater on so his finger prints were not on my neck. He takes a bunch | | of ties from the closet, hooks them together with knots, then ties the | | end around my neck. He drags my lifeless body to the closet where he | | ties the other end of the ties to a hook that is up high. He places a | | chair in the closet and tips it over. He then takes a note of mine and | | slowly writes out a message, making sure it looks like my handwriting, | | and says in the note that I was married when I married him and couldn't | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 61 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | live with what I had done to him. He then crumbles up the note, as if | | he had found it and lets it drop out of his hand. He calls someone, | | and suddenly the house if filled with police officers and men in white | | coats, the coroner I think. The police say I committed suicide, but I | | didn't. I was murdered and Charles Parson is the one who killed me. | | Make his confess. He must confess to set me free." | | | | With that, Christine collapsed to the floor. She was not conscious. | | Ann assured Joyce, who had rushed to her daughter, that this was a | | normal reaction for a medium after being a channel. | | | | The next plan of action was to take the videotape and make a copy of it. | | Once having done so, Dr. Franks, Christine and Joyce went to pay a | | visit to Mr. Charles Parson. They asked him to view the tape and then | | they would discuss what really happened. Parson's watched the tape | | carefully and began to cry as the story unfolded in front of him. | | Christine's voice clearly changed in the tape and Parson's identified | | it as his dead wife's voice. Parson's excused himself and moments | | later a shot rang out in another part of the house. Dr. Franks rushed | | into the room to find Parson's body laying on the bed with a gun in his | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 62 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | hand. A note lay beside his body, it was simple and to the point, "I | | killed my wife and fabricated the evidence to make it look as though | | she had committed suicide. Now I take my life for I can hide it no | | longer," the note was signed by Parson. Dr. Franks reached for the | | phone on the table near the bed and called the police. The three of | | them waited for the police to arrive, showed them the tape and told | | them what happened after Parson's had viewed it. Once the police had | | finished questioning them, they were free to go. | | | | Dr. Franks, Joyce and Christine went back to the old house. Christine | | was excited, she wanted to release Fran so badly from her ghostly jail. | | "He told the truth Fran, Charles told the truth," Christine announced | | as they entered the room. | | | | "I know, he is here with me," came back a whispering voice and all knew | | it was that of Fran's. "I am free, as is he for the first time in | | years. Thank you, thank you all." | | | | Silence filled the house. The spirit was free, and the house was | | peaceful once again. Had it not been for Christine and her friends, | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 63 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | none of it would have happened. Christine knew it and her friends | | would know it soon. | | The next day Christine and her friends took a walk to the cemetery | | where Fran Parson had been buried. They carried some roses from | | Joyce's rose garden in their hands. They placed the roses on Fran's | | grave and wished her well. The five of them knew this would be | | something that would be long remembered by each of them for their | | entire life. It would be something that would hold them together, as | | friends for many years to come. | | | | end | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Write US!

Page 74 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | The house was quiet now. Probably for the first time all day. The movers | | had stomped in and out since early morning carrying in boxes, furniture, | | tools and a piano. The lady of the house, Anne, not her real name, settles| | down on the sofa next to her husband. She sips from the cup, her third | | cup of coffee for the day. The two look at each other as they both stretch| | their legs out, tired from the moving day. They begin talking about how | | they want to decorate the room in which they now sit. But when Anne sugg- | | ests to Bill that they remodel the two bedrooms and bath on the third floor| | the noise begins. At the top of the stairs, on the second floor, comes a | | loud banging sound, like a box of glassware has fallen and crashed to the | | floor. They look at one another, thoroughly perplexed by what they have | | heard, since both knew no glassware was on the second floor. | | Bill gets up to check, making certain no one else is in the house. Satis- | | fied that no one is on the first floor he starts up the stairs to the sec- | | ond floor. He expects to find a mess from the box falling. But instead | | he finds nothing out of place. He walks up the next flight of stairs to | | the third floor, but again he finds nothing. He returns to the first floor| | and sits down on the sofa next to Anne. | | "What was it?" Anne questions him. | | "I couldn't find anything. Everything seemed to be exactly the way it | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Strrrrrrrange BITS! Page 75 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ought to be." | | The two of them go back to drinking their coffee and discussing the changes| | they want to make in the house. The more they wish to change the more | | noises they hear from the third floor. Bill, each time, gets up to check, | | and each time finds nothing. | | This was the way it began for them. The house is an old three story | | Victorian home on the east coast in Boston. The exact location can not be | | told since the owners wish to remain anonymous. The report given by the | | couple began just as stated. But the real trouble began when they decided | | to open up the two bedrooms on the third floor, making them into one large | | room. They wanted a study/craft room so they might pursue their hobbies. | | The bath on the third floor was upgraded with more modern equipment and | | they also placed a day bed in the room for overnight guests. | | The second floor had four bedrooms, two of which, at this point, were being| | used only as storage rooms. One they had as a guest room and third was | | the master bedroom. They had plans for this one as well. They intended | | opening the master bedroom into the second bedroom, making it larger and | | redoing the bathroom so they could have a double vanity and jacuzzi in the | | master bath, as well as an area for a sitting room. The remaining two | | bedroom would end up being the rooms for the children they planned on hav- | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Strrrrrrrange BITS! Page 76 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ing. But right after having the third floor remodeled they were visited by| | Bill's brother and his wife. Anne pulled the bottom section of the day | | bed out, making it into a double bed, and gave them that area for their | | visit. The first night of their visit was rather peaceful, except for the | | occasional bang and bomb of what sounded like someone pounding on the | | walls with a hammer. When Bill's brother got up the next morning he made | | the comment to Bill that he must have been up late working. But Bill told | | his brother he had not been. Bill asked Bob what it was he heard and then | | told Bob that he had not been up working, that he and Anne had gone to bed | | at the same time Bob and Joyce had. | | The second night was not as peaceful nor as calm. Bill and Anne were also | | awakened by the loud bangs. When they heard them they rushed up the stairs| | to the third floor room and found Bob and his wife huddled together on the | | day bed. Bill and Anne quickly moved over to Bob and Joyce. The four of | | them now were on the day bed. The sounds being made were almost deafening.| | Then it happened. In the corner of the room, across from them they could | | see clearly a man. He was fully luminous. Bill noted he could see direct-| | ly through him to the wall. The man looked angry and he was shaking his | | fist at them. | | Bill and Anne never had discussed the possibility of a ghost. Neither had | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Strrrrrrrange BITS! Page 77 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | knew what the other felt or believed. But when the four of them made their| | way out of the third floor room to the kitchen they all sat discussing what| | they had seen. Bill and Anne resolved to bring a psychic in to find out | | how to get rid of this man. | | The psychic came in with a crew of investigators. Bill had contacted a | | university in New York and had to wait for nearly a month. During that | | time Bill and Anne stayed clear of the third floor. | | The report on the investigation state that the spirit was upset with the | | remodeling of the house. It was his house and insisted that it be left | | alone. The psychic discussed the situation with the spirit and reportedly | | they came to some form of resolution to solve the problem of the current | | owners ideas and the former owners ideas about the house. | | After this, according to Bill and Anne, the spirit has been seen periodi- | | cally in the third floor room, but has not been disruptive in any manner. | | The history of the house is that it was built sometime in the 1880s. The | | original owners lived there throughout their lifetime, passing it on to the| | children that remained behind. There have been several people to live | | in the house since then, as it was rented out on a frequent bases. The | | report of the investigation indicates that the spirit living there is that | | of the original builder and owner. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | .------------------------------------------------------. | | .-------| The W-Eeeek-ly News (tm) Review |-------. | | \ | (c) 1993 Eeeek Publishing Co.

CDC's new definition adds pulmonary | | tuberculosis, recurrent bacterial pneumonia, and invasive cervical cancer | | -- diseases common among women -- to the list of AIDS-defining | | infections. It also allows an AIDS diagnoses based on a drop in the | | level of the body's master immune cells, or T-cells, to 200 cells per | | milliliter. It is estimated that as many as 190,000 Americans with HIV | | have T-cell counts below 200, but most remain undiagnosed as having AIDS. | | "We are optimistic that this new policy will improve the accuracy of HIV | | surveillance, relieve some of the effects of past under-reporting, and | | increase the likelihood that HIV positive women and men will qualify for | | the program entitlement and other benefits necessary for their health | | care," Johnson said. In a Nov. 12, 1992, letter to the CDC commenting on | | the proposed changes, Planned Parenthood warned that women are the | | fastest growing group of people with HIV and urged the CDC to broaden the | | AIDS definition further by adding other conditions common to women with | | HIV to the list of defining infections. | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Panasonic's Parent To Pay U.S. $1.8 Million Page 81 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Department of Justice | | announced today that Matsushita Electric Corp. of America (MECA) will pay | | the United States $1.8 million to settle claims that Panasonic | | Communications & Systems Co., an unincorporated division of MECA, | | overcharged the government for the purchase of Panasonic typewriters and | | copiers by failing to disclose certain pricing data in negotiating the | | contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA). Assistant | | Attorney General Stuart M. Gerson, head of the Civil Division, said the | | government alleged that MECA, headquartered in Secaucus, N.J., falsely | | certified that it had provided the federal government with the same | | discounts offered to state governments when in fact it did not and that | | the company failed to offer the government the same price reductions it | | extended to commercial customers for the five contracts. Under the Truth | | in Negotiations Act, Panasonic was required, during the negotiations, to | | provide the government with its most current, accurate, and complete | | data. By depriving the government of this accurate and complete discount | | pricing data, Panasonic obtained an inflated price for its products. The | | settlement was reached after GSA's Office of Inspector General conducted | | an audit and investigation of the matter. | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Justice Department Files First ADA Action Page 82 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In its first court action brought | | to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Department of | | Justice today filed a complaint against a CA-based company charging it | | discriminated against students with hearing impairments enrolled in its | | CPA review courses. The complaint, filed in U.S.District Court for the | | District of Columbia, alleges that Becker CPA Review, a private company | | that offers review courses for accountants preparing to take the national | | certified public accountant exam, discriminated against those with hearing| | impairments in violation of the ADA by refusing to provide sign language | | interpreters or other appropriate auxiliary aids necessary for persons | | with hearing impairments to participate fully and equally in the course's | | classroom instruction. The complaint, based on violation of the ADA which | | prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, public | | accommodations, and public services, cites a specific instance in which | | Becker CPA Review refused to provide the necessary type of auxiliary aids | | to a person with a hearing impairment. The suit alleges that Becker CPA | | Review violated 2 separate provisions of the law. The ADA requires courses| | for certification be offered in a manner accessible to persons with dis- | | abilities & that private entities provide "auxiliary aids" when necessary | | to ensure effective communication. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Statement Of Pasteur Institute Attorney on Gallo Case Page 83 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 /U.S. Newswire: | | | | Following is a statement of Robert C.

It has been clear for more than a year that Dr. Gallo went | | to school on the Pasteur virus, and even Dr. Gallo himself now admits | | there was only one virus -- Pasteur's. | | | | The U.S. government's position -- built on a faulty two-virus theory -- | | has been sitting at the Department of Health and Human Services like a | | ticking time bomb. It has now exploded. | | | | "Pasteur intends to return immediately to the U.S. government and ask | | that it do the right thing. In view of Dr. Gallo's own admissions, and | | an official finding of scientific misconduct, it is incumbent upon the | | U.S. government to act without delay." | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Justice Department Sues Two Apt Complexes Page 84 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Department of Justice today | | filed a civil rights lawsuit against two suburban Detroit housing | | complexes alleging they engaged in a pattern of discrimination that | | violated the federal Fair Housing Act. Both complexes are charged with | | refusing to rent units to African-Americans, and one complex is also | | alleged to have dscriminated against families with children. The | | lawsuits, filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit, name the owners and | | managers of the Kings Pointe Apartments in Warren, and the East Pointe | | Manor Apartments in East Pointe as defendants. "The tester program which | | led to these lawsuits was conducted by both Department of Justice | | personnel and testers employed by the Fair Housing Center of Metropolitan | | Detroit under a contract with the department's Civil Rights Division. It | | is through this type of cooperative effort that successful enforcement of | | the Fair Housing Act will continue to be accomplished," said Dunne. Each | | complaint seeks an injunction preventing further discriminatory practices | | at the developments. The lawsuits also seek civil penalties from the | | defendants to vindicate the public interest, as well as monetary damages | | for persons who may have been the victims of the defendants' unlawful | | discrimination. | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Organizations Celebrate 10 Yrs of Saving Children's Lives Page 85 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | RICHMOND, Dec. 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Virginia Department of Motor | | Vehicles (DMV), the Concerned Citizens Advocating Traffic Safety (CCATS) | | and the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters (CHKD) celebrated the | | 10th anniversary of Virginia's Child Safety Seat Law on Monday, Jan. 4, | | 1993, at 11 a.m. in the CHKD Auditorium in Norfolk, Va. | | | | Guest speakers included Del. Thomas W. Moss, speaker of the House; Dr. | | John M. de Triquet of CHKD and Vince Burgess, DMV.

The groups | | charge that the bureau's and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' assistance is | | illegal because the two services have not consulted with the U.S. Fish | | and Wildlife Service (FWS). The Endangered Species Act requires all | | federal agencies to consult with FWS on any agency action that may affect | | an endangered or threatened species. The PRC has considered damming the | | Three Gorges region of the Yangtze River for over 40 years. Now, with | | the United States assistance, the PRC is moving toward its goal of | | building the world's largest dam that will cause major human hardship and | | ecological destruction to a site that has been compared to the U.S. Grand | | Canyon. The dam would disrupt feeding areas of the endangered Siberian | | crane, harm resting areas and food supplies of both the endangered | | Yangtze river dolphin and the endangered Chinese alligator, and could | | affect feeding areas of the endangered giant panda. | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Emerson Radio to world-wide distribution Page 87 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | NORTH BERGEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emerson Radio Corp., a world-wide | | marketer of consumer electronics products has agreed in principle with a | | Joint Venture consisting of Extech Corporation and Robeson Industries | | Corp. to the licensing of the Emerson name for world-wide distribution of | | certain small kitchen and household appliances.

The data was | | compiled by the FBI pursuant to the Hate Crime Satistics Act (HCSA), | | passed by Congress in 1990. "The data released today is an important | | step forward in improving the national response to the problem of hate | | violence," said Melvin Salberg, ADL's national chairman, and Abraham H. | | Foxman, ADL's national director. "While we can be quite certain that | | more than 4,558 hate crime incidents occurred in 1991, these first | | statistics -- and the fact that more than 2,700 law enforcement agencies | | across the country participated in the collection effort -- reflect well | | on the FBI's initial outreach and education efforts." Since the passage | | of the HCSA, ADL has served as a principal resource for the FBI and other | | law enforcement agencies in implementing the act. ADL and other groups | | with expertise in analyzing and responding to hate crimes have | | participated in a number of training seminars for state and local law | | enforcement authorities on how to identify, report, and respond to hate | | crimes. | | | `----------------------------------------------------------------------------' .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | (c)1993 Eeeek Publishing Company -Taghadossi/Black.
