"One Night in the Museum" Written Version. Read Version is above.


A story that was once read by Stephen King and got an Honorable Mention.

One Night in the Museum

A short story by Richard Senate & Kyle Christenson

It was dark at the city museum that night. The darkness did not hamper Joe; in fact he was glad it was dark because the darkness concealed his after hours entry. He had with him the tools of his trade, the pry bar, the electronics to jam the alarms, and a powerful flashlight.

In no time at all he had used all of the skills to pry open the window. Joe, laughed to himself as he examined the ancient alarm system. It was a simple thing to disable the wires and swing himself though the window. He knew the aged watchman was in his office watching TV. He would not be a problem and if he was, there was the 32 caliber pistol in his pocket.

Joe made his way down the long corridor; his beam of light flashing on statues and portraits of other eras. Soon he found what he was seeking and the flashlight played on an ancient papyrus scroll marked with painted designs and intricate hieroglyphics. The scroll was a holy document of the Ancient Egyptians, worth fifty thousand dollars to a certain wealth private collector.

Joe broke the glass case and snatched up the scroll. It felt funny in his hand, like sandpaper still warm from the sun. He started to leave the Egyptian Room and returned to the window he had opened. He then stopped suddenly.

Joe heard voices at the window. It must be the police, he thought. He listened and from what he heard it was two police officers. They were called in when the watchman found the open window.

"We better check the place," one said as he drew his revolver. "Who ever did this might still be inside." Joe listened as the old watchman let them in. The overhead lights went on, as the policemen patrolled from room to room.

Somehow Joe always kept one room ahead of them. His heart pounded fast as he found himself trapped in the last roomThe Egyptian Room with the broken case. Joe hid behind a large stone idol next to a tall mummy case.

Just as he found his place of concealment, the door opened. The two blue uniformed men glanced around the room. Joe was certain they would see the broken glass, they didnt notice it.

"This is the last room," one officer said.

"I guess we scared him off. I dont think anything is missing," answered the second.

"Lets go make our report."

They left the room and in a few moments the lights went out and the museum was plunged into near darkness.

Joe smiled to himself as the dim moonlight filtered in the small windows of the room. He was safe, those dumb cops had passed right by him. He let out a small laugh and held his stolen scroll close. He came out of his place of hiding and stood up. He stretched and was about to move when he felt a powerful hand grasp the back of his neck.

The mighty hand pulled Joe around and, in the dim light the burglars eyes fell horror stricken on the face of an ancient, wrinkled and bandaged long dead mummy.

The face of royal guard Rahotep, dead these five thousand years, was the last image Joe saw in life.

A single scream echoed though the museum, then there was silence. It was the silence of the tomb.

Timeslips: a theory on ghosts and haunted places

Timeslips: a theory on ghosts and haunted places

By  Richard Senate

I am a ghost hunter and I have been investigating ghosts since 1978. Then, while part of an archaeological dig  I saw a ghost one night. In the many years if researched the subject I have found that many, not all to be sure, but a majority of  reported events seem to have less to do with stereotypical spirits of the dead and a great deal to do with time.  Many sightings seem to be of images that behave like a loop of film or videotape of past events.
Other paranormal investigators confirm that such events fill their files to the point that they have given them a special classification: Afterimages.   Many of these time skips are linked to emotions, such as re-enacting battles or murders.  Emotions seem to play into this unique phenomena in some way. 
>
In thinking about these glances back in time I got me to wondering if any of the paranormal events in the literature of the unknown might be answered by these slips in time.   I put together a theory –a thesis if you will—to try and explain some of the most bedeviling of mysteries in the field.
>
Bigfoot:  The sightings of the upright creature have been noted for centuries. The sightings are made by all sorts of individuals, some are trained observers.  Still, those who have tried to find the Bigfoot have failed to uncover any evidence that the thing exists. They would be more accurate to say it doesn’t exist now because we know that such a creature did walk the land thousands of years ago. It is called giganticus  and fossilized remains have been found by scientists. Perhaps what people see are images of the creature though time, when it did exist?
>
Unidentified Flying Objects: Maybe when people see the strange lights in the sky they are not seeing space ships from far away but simply looking forward in time when such things, built by earthmen, will be a common form of transportation. This would also account for ancient records that tell of odd things in the sky. Maybe they are getting images of our helicopters and airplanes? 
>
Ghost Ships and Trains:  these inanimate objects are reported as ghosts but all but the most die hard sailor would believe that at boat or ship has a soul. Maybe when we see these images we are just looking back in time to a real ship that sailed the seas a century ago?  This would also explain phantom trains rolling on long abandoned tracks.
>
These wholes in time, could be natural products of the environment that click on and off, perhaps stimulated by naturally occurring electro magnetic fields. They could be generated deep below the earth’s surface.  These emanations could stimulate the psychic part of the brain and, working with elements of the natural world, create a glance back or forward in time.
>
The theory doesn’t explain all ghosts or all paranormal events, but it does offer an explanation for some. Perhaps further research in EMF effects and experimentation will see if holes in the fabric of time might be behind some of the reports of strange things, UFOs and ghosts.  It’s a theory that needs further investigation.  Let me know what you think?

RICHARD SENATE’S ARTICLE IN NEW ISSUE OF FATE MAGAZINE.

The article on the events at the Olivas Adobe last Fall has been printed in the newest issue of Fate Magazine. The spike in activity has been growing since last Fall as readers of the newsletter can attest. Plans are now being formed to mount a full investigation of the site. A DVD will be made to document the investigation and try to find the cause of the spike in sightings. At the 1847 adobe home. It may well have something to do with up coming renovations that will close the building to the public. If you would like to take part in the investigation please contact Mr. Senate.

MR. SENATE TO PRESENT HIS FINDINGS IN LECTURE SET FOR MAY 17.

Mr. Senate has finished his findings on several investigations and will be presenting them at an informal talk set for May 17th, Saturday. The site has yet to be announced and it will depend on turn out. Mr. Senate’s findings conclude some of the best reasons for believing in ghosts and the supernatural. The sightings of ghosts give us the best evidence we have of a post death experience. He will also refute the claims of debunkers who scoff at the amateur ghost hunting movement. The feel for this talk is $10. Please purchase tickets at the Phantom Bookstore.

NEW GHOST SIGHTING AT HOLLYWOOD AND VINE!

The area around the famous cross streets of Hollywood and Vine have been rumored haunted since the 1930s after the death of Silent Horror actor Lon Chaney Sr. He did take the trolley to his work at Universal Studios before his un-timely death. They have seen him sitting on the bench clutching his make-up kit. A recent sighting on the "Man of a Thousand faces" took place recently during a fire in broad daylight. People claim to have seen him in the crowd watching the firemen. He was dressed in a slouch hat and black cape. This recent sighting didn’t mention a tin make-up kit but the witness did say he carried a rolled up newspaper—The Herald. That paper went out of business in LA decades ago. Hollywood continues to be one of the most active supernatural sites in the nation.

MR. SENATE PLANNING NEW BOOK ON JACK THE RIPPER.

With the success of the Psychic Solution to the Lizzie Borden Case, The Senate’s are now planning to take on the greatest case in the world: The 1888 Whitechapel Murders attributed to Jack the Ripper. If you have theories or insights on these murders feel free to share them with the Senates as they try to solve the crime using paranormal means. Who killed the over-aged ladies of the night in a bloody spat of murder? Was the killer the one who sent the letters to the police and newspapers calling himself "Jack the Ripper?" They hope to unravel this mystery and tell the world who really did it. If you would like to help in this investigation please e-mail the Senates.

Olivas Adobe Heats up with New Supernatural Events!

The historic 1847 Adobe home has become a hotbed of new paranormal activity with all sorts of odd things reported. Many of the witnesses are visitors and most of the phantom events have taken place in the daytime.   Your humble reporter has learned of the following strange experiences:  

ITEM:  A family touring the site heard the old 1876 piano in the parlor playing all by itself. NOTE: The piano isn’t a player piano and such things have been reported in the past many years ago. The tune it slowly plucked out was both haunting and mysterious.  
ITEM: A family being given a tour of the house was shocked to see the apparition of a little boy dressed in a children’s brown suit  of the 1880s in the first bedroom. The figure ran away as if he was surprised and vanished.  History records that one son of the builder, Jose Epitacio del Refugio Olivas was born in 1847 and is believed to have died in childhood. Is Jose the Boy in Brown? This is the first time such an image has been reported.  

ITEM: A man stopped his car on the road and was walking in front of the old adobe about 10:30 at night and claims to have seen a light on the front balcony. When he watched the thing moved down the balcony from east to west. He saw it was the image of a little girl wearing a glowing white night dress. When she suddenly vanished the house was plunged into darkness. Mr. Senate recommends anyone interested in ghosts should visit the site and be on the look out for any of the ghosts reported at the old place.

POINT OF INTEREST:  For many years the house was haunted by a woman in a black dress. She has not been seen for the last three years,if not four. What happened to her and why are the phantom children not supervised? 
 
NEW DVD ON GLEN TAVERN PROGRESSES

John Anthony Miller, artist, bookseller and co-producer of The Ray Bradbury Theatre and Film Festival (www.raybradburyfestival.com)  is now editing and producing, along with Richard and Debbie Senate, a special DVD on the recent investigation of the haunted Glen Tavern Inn that myself and my students conducted last month. This feature will have some of the ghostly images taken on that day and EVP's captured at the site by students (and even some on John's camcorder). It’s an exciting project. More DVDs will be made at future investigations.  The completed approxiamtely one hour long DVD will be offered for sale in the near future.  Watch this web site for more information.  It will be reasonably priced for all to be able  to acquire. I will also sign the DVD as will Mr. Miller. The students will also be given credit in the production and without them the DVD would not have been possible to produce. (Note: We will be putting a video sampler on the pod cast site soon, so check that out as well.)

Haunted Book at the Phantom Bookshop!

Strange things have been happening at the Phantom Bookshop - such a books flying off the shelves and a mysterious apparition of a woman (seen twice by owner John Anthony Miller in two fleeting appearances). The owner of the shop asked Debbie to look into the mystery and discovered one of the books (the one that flew off the shelf) is haunted. It’s a curious book about vampires (Vampires and Vampirsm by Dudley Wright published in England in 1924), long out of print in this hardback edition.  The owner had purchased the volume along with a collection of occult works from an odd man selling occult and metaphysical book years ago. The psychic felt that a strange collector, a woman from the late 1920s owned the book and was fascinated about vampires. She picked up the book and got the image of a woman in wire- rimmed glasses and the name “Martha.”   She firmly believes who ever buys the book will also get the ghost!  The Phantom Bookshop wants to pass the book along to some other owner. They can’t have things being moved about by unseen hands!  They will place the haunted book on eBay. It’s a valuable book because its so hard to find, but more so now because it comes with a ghost!  We will be updating you with the URL item on eBay and date. Keep tuned in for this one! 

 

 
Richard Celebrates Birthday at Haunted Landmark 78.

The old Victorian home, now a restaurant, is well known for its ghostly forms in Ventura , California . The most seen specter is that of “Rosa” who haunts the ladies bathroom on the second floor.  She is active this time of year so the haunted site was selected for a lavish birthday bash. 

“I find ghosts always haunt the better restaurants,” Mr. Senate remarked. He looked for the mysterious phantom lady but she was nowhere to be seen that night. 

 
 

Terrible premonition reported! Danger lingers near Obama!

A friend of the Senate's had a grim dream recently. He said it was very realistic. In his dream he saw Presidential candidate Senator Obama shot while giving a speech in Chicago .  The shooter struck while the crowd was clapping. The TV commentator was in tears. Paramedics were there but it looked like a head shot and the Presidential contender was dead.   Many have compared the young Obama to John and Bobby Kennedy. Perhaps he will share their terrible fate. Sadly, many Bllack leaders from Malcolm ' X'  to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated in their prime.  Has anyone else had such a premonition?    If you have contact Richard at HaintHunter@aol.com —-let us hope that this dream is only a dream...
