The “Box”
I have had mixed emotions about commenting on this thread concerning, what I will simply refer to the “box”. Until two years ago I had never before heard about this item. It was originally brought to my attention by one of my listeners and a user here on the Paracast, Dana Ward. Ward had told me some highly unusual information about the “box” which, since it was close to Halloween, I thought would make some good radio. If memory serves me, I had some brief email contact with Jason Haxton, to invite him on the show to discuss the “box”. If memory serves me, and remember this has been a couple of years, for whatever reason he declined, so I ended up locating and inviting Jason Offutt who reportedly also had some experiences with the “box”.
I will say that originally I did not totally accept the rumors I heard concerning the effects that the “box” had on people simply by talking about it.
Starting the night I hosted Offutt I had computer problems after mentioning the “box”. Very shortly afterwards, really just a couple of days I became deathly ill with a virus. Coincidence? I don’t know. Then after about two weeks getting over that I had nightly problems with my computer. For no reason my mic would stop transmitting my audio. The mic was fine, I still use it today. Then my sound card acted up, I replaced it with the best one on the marketplace … and it stopped working. Then my motherboard blew up, I replaced it and finally the entire damned computer stopped working with CyberstationUSA. And, ladies and gentlemen … this is NO BULLSHIT. For example, and this dogged me for a couple of months … they could receive my audio … but my music REFUSED to transmit. I kid you not …. they could receive every word, every syllable I transmitted … but my music would refuse to go through. Until they finally got me a new computer I was off the air for almost a year. Sure, the show continued, I had a lot of stuff in the can but no new broadcasts. Yea, I was a believer. But wait … there is more … just like the Ginzu Knives commercial.
You all know that almost 3 weeks ago my little cocker spaniel was bitten by a rattlesnake that entered my home, then the bastard snake disappeared. I found it the next day coiled right up next to my broadcast computer desk. You know I reached down to turn on the powerstrip there (controls my lights) and sitting there was that damned snake. Well, I was not bitten ..Thank God … and I killed the snake. Okay, here is what you don’t know.
The day before my little dog Jade was bitten, I was having on the show Pastor Robin Swope, The Paranormal Pastor. If you are familiar with Pastor Swope, you will know that for years he was been involved in paranormal matters. While we were catching up and discussing what we wanted to discuss on the show, like a dumbass I asked him if he was familiar with the “box” but I used the actual name of the item. I then proceeded to tell him about my experience of the item. While we were chatting he looked up the thing on the net and I told him some other things I had heard about the “box”. The next day, well I already said what occurred. Coincidence? Well I am sure the skeptics will say coincidence but not me. I am convinced the thing is very bad juju, and enough said about it. There was a thread on the DMR forum about the “box” and I deleted it. Take this for what it is worth but I want nothing to do with it. I don’t think I will even go see the movie. Like I said .. bad juju.
