Margie Kay Another witness came forward via the Nextdoor app in Independence, Missouri to report her strange experience on April 6, 2025. The woman wishes to remain anonymous. "I was driving near the Temple Lot in Independence and I had two friends with me. It was at dusk but there was till light. We noticed a person walking extremaly slowly on the sidewalk, but he wasn't normal. His legs and arms were way too long for his body, his feet were huge, and his body was unnaturally thin. His clothes were black and he wore a hat. As I drove by him my two friends who were in the passenger seat and back seat turned to look at his face and they both freaked out, saying that it was very creepy and that the person couldn't be a human being. None of us have ever seen anything like it before, but we know that what we saw was something supernatural or maybe even an alien. I did not stop the car and won't be driving that way again. " No further explanation was given. This is the fourth sighting of a wraith-like creature in the city of Independence in the past three years. One occured in the parking lot across from the Temple Lot in 2024, and was my own sighting that I wrote about earlier. My husband was with me at the time and we were both very creeped out by it. With this current sighting in the same area we have set up an investigation with a team this weekend. If we get any evidence I will be sure to post about it.

By Faun Grey A Missouri man's extraordinary childhood experience with extraterrestrial beings comes with an unexpected element—he claims to have tangible proof. In the bustling metropolis of Kansas City, Missouri where modern life thrives amidst space-age innovation, one individual's story transcends the boundaries of conventional experience. Introducing Michael "Mike" Thompson, a 38-year-old aerospace technician with calloused hands, an easy smile, and a narrative that has haunted him since his childhood. Mike asserts that his encounter with aliens at age nine wasn't just a figment of imagination—it was real. And now, he's prepared to share his evidence with the world. Mike's story unfolds on a crisp autumn evening in 1994, before his family relocated to K.C. He was an inquisitive, science-loving youngster who spent countless nights observing celestial bodies from his rural Missouri home. But one evening, he claims, the cosmos didn't just captivate him—it reached out. The Encounter That Changed Everything Mike remembers being jolted awake by an otherworldly vibration—like electric current coursing through metal—shortly after midnight. Drawn to his bedroom window, he witnessed an oval-shaped craft, pulsating with ethereal light, suspended above his family's pecan tree. Before he could alert his parents, he recalls being enveloped in a brilliant azure light. The next sequence of events, Mike narrates with both fascination and trepidation. He found himself in an environment that seemed to defy physics—a chamber with walls that appeared both solid and translucent. He was surrounded by entities—graceful, elongated beings with iridescent skin and eyes that seemed to hold infinite wisdom. Communication, he says, occurred telepathically, as they conducted what appeared to be sophisticated medical procedures. Mike claims they returned him to his bed moments before sunrise, leaving his parents none the wiser. They dismissed his account as an overactive imagination. But Mike maintains it wasn't imagination. He's dedicated his life to documenting his experience. The Proof Surfaces Mike kept his encounter secret for decades, dreading public scrutiny. However, in 2025, he chose to break his silence, motivated by what he describes as conclusive evidence. His primary proof: a peculiar, hexagonal marking on his right shoulder blade, which he insists materialized after the encounter. Revealing the distinctive pattern, he emphasizes it appeared spontaneously, without injury or trauma. While a medical specialist couldn't determine its cause, critics suggest it might be a forgotten childhood scar distorted by time. Then there's the physical evidence—a peculiar metallic fragment Mike discovered in his backyard shortly after the incident. About the size of a quarter, the object exhibits unusual properties: a smooth, iridescent surface and a composition that doesn't align with any known metal alloys, according to Mike. He's submitted it for analysis at a specialized laboratory in Austin, and while the results are still pending, he remains convinced of its extraterrestrial origin. The object has maintained its pristine condition, showing no signs of degradation or weathering, he asserts. Additionally, Mike presents a collection of Polaroid photographs from his childhood—grainy captures of the night sky, with one particular image showing an enigmatic luminous form. He had instinctively grabbed his father's camera in the aftermath of the encounter, driven by a child's desire to document the extraordinary. The UFO research community has expressed significant interest in these images, though skeptics argue they could be attributed to lens artifacts or atmospheric phenomena. A World Divided by Doubt Mike's revelations have ignited intense discussion within various circles. Multiple UFO research organizations have embraced his account, organizing conferences to analyze his testimony. Social media platforms are abuzz with theories, with some lauding him as a courageous truth-seeker while others label him a skilled storyteller. A prominent psychiatrist from the University of Kansas has suggested that Mike's experience might be attributed to sleep paralysis—a phenomenon known to induce alien-like hallucinations—emphasizing the malleable nature of childhood memories. Nevertheless, Mike remains unwavering in his conviction, maintaining that his experience is neither delusion nor fabrication. He's actively seeking broader exposure—whether through podcasts or documentaries—to share his complete narrative and the forthcoming laboratory findings. Mike's Journey Continues Whether Mike Thompson's account represents genuine contact with extraterrestrial intelligence or stems from the depths of human imagination, it undeniably commands attention. His life in Kansas City has transformed into an unexpected odyssey, and he's determined to convince humanity—or at least prompt contemplation. With quiet confidence, he hopes his story might inspire others to explore the possibilities beyond our earthly realm. For now, Mike awaits his laboratory results, preserving his photographic evidence, ready to engage with both supporters and critics. The truth, he maintains, exists—and he possesses a fragment of it.

By Faun Grey Judaculla Rock Image: Source Unknown While numerous boulders exist in the surrounding area, none bear similar inscriptions. The rock features various pictographs, including depictions of wildlife and their tracks, human forms, celestial symbols, and abstract geometric patterns. Judaculla—or Jutaculla—Rock stands as one of America's most enigmatic archaeological sites. This remarkable petroglyph, the most extensive in North Carolina and among the most significant in the Southeast, derives its name from Cherokee mythology explaining its creation. Located in Jackson County's Caney Fork Creek valley near Cullowhee, this ancient rock art continues to puzzle researchers who remain uncertain about its origins, purpose, and creation process. The massive soapstone boulder measures approximately sixteen feet in length and eleven feet in width. Close inspection reveals various carving techniques used to create the designs, including scratching, chipping, and polishing. Though these methods are still visible today, ongoing weathering gradually makes them harder to distinguish. During the late 1800s, Cherokee tribes regularly conducted ceremonies around the rock. The site's significance is enhanced by nearby soapstone deposits, which Cherokee craftsmen utilized to create pipes, ornamental beads, vessels, and ceremonial objects called bannerstones. Archaeological evidence suggests the Cherokee people established temporary camps near the rock while quarrying soapstone. Recent archaeological investigations have led experts to believe that Judaculla Rock was actually part of a larger complex of soapstone artifacts. In the 1880s, James Mooney, a distinguished Smithsonian Institution researcher, documented the fascinating Cherokee legend surrounding Judaculla Rock. His records tell of a mighty being called Judaculla (known to the Cherokee as Tsul-ka-lu or Tsu' Kalu, meaning the Great Slant-eyed Giant), who emerged as the most prominent figure in Cherokee mythology. This legendary giant hunter resided on Richland Balsam Mountain's southwestern slope, specifically at the Tuckaseegee River's headwaters in Jackson County. According to the tales, Judaculla possessed extraordinary supernatural abilities, commanding the elements of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning at will. His legendary feats included consuming entire streams in one swallow and traversing mountains as easily as stepping over ant hills. Interestingly, when Sequoyah translated the Bible into Cherokee, the biblical figure Goliath was renamed Judaculla, reflecting the giant's cultural significance. One prevalent legend suggests that the mysterious markings on the rock represent hunting regulations decreed by Judaculla himself. Another tale recounts how the giant, while chasing American Indians from his territory, leaped from his mountaintop dwelling and landed partially on the rock, creating the distinctive scratches. The boulder's lower right-hand corner features what's believed to be Judaculla's footprint, complete with seven toes. Historical interpretations once suggested that the rock's markings depicted a map of the Cherokee's triumphant 1755 battle against the Creeks at Taliwa in present-day Georgia, or possibly commemorated a victory over their Catawba adversaries. Modern archaeological findings have revealed that Judaculla Rock actually predates Cherokee settlement in western North Carolina, though its precise origin remains uncertain. Current dating places it in the late Archaic Period, approximately 3000-1000 BCE, coinciding with the emergence of Native American mound-building societies. The North Carolina Rock Art Survey has established a dedicated Judaculla Advisory Committee, bringing together diverse stakeholders including Jackson County NC (the site owner), Eastern Band of Cherokee Tribal Historic Preservation Office representatives, Tribal Elders, State Archaeology officials, Western Carolina University academics, and community members. This committee has initiated efforts to formally document the petroglyphs and develop comprehensive conservation strategies. sources: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/nfsnc/learning/history-culture/?cid=stelprdb5209551http://rla.unc.edu/lessons/Lesson/L502/H502b.htmwww.ncmarkers.com/Markers.aspx?ct=ddl&sp=search&k=Markers&sv=Q-4%20-%20JUDACULLA%20ROCK

By Faun Grey If you've ever dreamed of owning your own Bigfoot store, here is your opportunity. After establishing Bigfoot Treasure — previously known as the Twin Cities Trading Post — in downtown Chehalis in 2009, proprietor Mitch Moberg is seeking a passionate cryptozoology enthusiast to take over his one-of-a-kind Sasquatch emporium. His vision was to establish a specialty shop where fellow Bigfoot aficionados could discover an extensive collection of rare and extraordinary items. From authentic Sasquatch footprint casts to an impressive array of cryptid-themed collectibles including custom-designed socks, eye-catching bumper stickers, and immersive board games, Bigfoot Treasure houses a remarkable selection of merchandise that Squatch hunters won't find anywhere else. The Chronicle visited this cryptozoological haven on Tuesday, April 1, to discuss Moberg's search for a new steward of this unique establishment. "My intention is to transition into a landlord role rather than managing day-to-day retail operations, which has been my primary focus for most of my career," Moberg explained. "I'm ready to explore new horizons in the Bigfoot community." He aims to concentrate on developing an experience-based business model with outdoor events and "possibly some wilderness expeditions." Moberg plans to retain ownership of the 548 N. Market Blvd. property. Store interior Photo: Bigfoot Treasure Facebook page While his preference is to find someone who will preserve Bigfoot Treasure's current identity and inventory selection, he acknowledges that changes may be inevitable. The spacious facility spans 2,800 square feet. "Once we negotiate terms with a qualified tenant, they'll have autonomy over the space. Ideally, we'll find someone to take over Bigfoot Treasure as is, which would be the smoothest transition," Moberg stated. Moberg emphasizes that the store will remain operational during his search for a successor. "We have no plans to shut down. I love being part of downtown's cryptozoology community," he continued. "It's a rewarding venture. I'm simply seeking new adventures while still enjoying my current role."

By Faun Grey The Enduring Mystery of Egypt’s Ancient Monuments For centuries, the pyramids of Egypt have stood as silent sentinels of an ancient civilization’s greatness. These massive structures have captivated the imagination of people worldwide, inspiring countless theories about their construction and purpose. While traditional archaeology has revealed much about these monuments, recent technological advances have begun to uncover what may be the greatest pyramid secrets yet – vast structures hidden beneath the sands of Giza. The pyramid secrets that have puzzled researchers for centuries are finally being uncovered through advanced technology. These revelations challenge our fundamental understanding of ancient Egyptian capabilities and the true purpose of these monumental structures. The Pyramids of Giza: Traditional Understanding and New Revelations The pyramids of Giza continue to reveal new information about ancient Egyptian civilization and engineering capabilities. Traditionally, we’ve understood these structures as: Monumental tombs built between 2550 to 2490 B.C. Engineering marvels constructed with approximately 2.3 million stone blocks Each block weighing between 2.5 to 15 tons Built by skilled workers, not slaves as previously believed Materials for these massive structures came from various locations – granite from Aswan, timber from Lebanon – and were transported via the Nile and artificial waterways. This traditional understanding has formed the foundation of our knowledge about ancient Egypt for generations. However, what lies inside the pyramids goes far beyond the known burial chambers, with new evidence suggesting complex underground networks. These findings are forcing historians and archaeologists to reconsider long-held beliefs about pyramid construction and purpose. New Pyramid Discoveries That Challenge Historical Narratives Recent new pyramid discoveries have fundamentally changed our understanding of these ancient structures. Among the most significant findings are revelations about who was actually buried within pyramid structures. Research conducted at the Tombos site in Nubia has uncovered skeletal remains dating from 1400 to 650 B.C. that show evidence of manual labor – suggesting pyramid burials weren’t exclusively reserved for elite members of society. This discovery challenges the long-held belief that pyramids were solely the domain of pharaohs and nobility. Instead, it points to a more inclusive burial practice, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of ancient Egyptian social dynamics. Pyramid Secrets Revealed Through Modern Scanning Technology The pyramid secrets revealed by SAR technology include a network of underground structures spanning 6,500 feet. This advanced radar technology has provided researchers with high-resolution 3D images of what appears to be an extensive complex beneath the Giza plateau. The specifications of these findings are truly remarkable: Feature Specifications Details Network Extent 6,500 feet Underground network beneath pyramids Vertical Shafts 8 cylinders Each is approximately 2,100 feet deep Additional Structures 2 cube-shaped Connected by spiral pathways Total Complex Size 10x larger Compared to surface pyramids Perhaps most astonishing is the depth of these structures – reaching twice the height of the Eiffel Tower. Near the base of the Khafre Pyramid, researchers have identified five identical structures connected by spiral pathways. The geometric precision and vast scale of these underground features suggest they may have served purposes beyond simple burial chambers. Is There an Underground City Found Below Pyramids? Examining the Evidence Claims of an underground city found below pyramids have generated both excitement and skepticism in the archaeological community. The sheer scale of the reported structures – a complex allegedly ten times larger than the surface pyramids themselves – has led some researchers to suggest these might be the remains of an ancient underground city. The findings suggest potential mechanical or energy-related functions beyond burial purposes. Some researchers have proposed these structures might have served as: Water management systems Storage facilities Ceremonial spaces Astronomical observation points Energy generation or transmission facilities (a more controversial theory) However, these interpretations remain highly debated within the scientific community. How Archaeologists Are Using Advanced Technology to Uncover Pyramid Secrets Leading archaeologists are divided on the interpretation of the radar data showing structures beneath the Giza plateau. The technological breakthrough making these discoveries possible is Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), which can penetrate deep beneath the surface to create detailed images of subsurface structures. However, not all experts are convinced. Lawrence Conyers, a ground-penetrating radar specialist, has questioned the effectiveness of SAR technology at the claimed depths. Similarly, Egypt’s former Minister of Antiquities has labeled claims about extensive underground structures as “utterly baseless.” This division highlights the challenges in verifying these extraordinary claims: Technical limitations : Debate over the reliability of current scanning technologies Access restrictions : Difficulties obtaining necessary permissions from Egyptian authorities for further excavations Scientific validation : Need for peer-reviewed studies and concrete evidence through excavation Despite these challenges, the potential significance of these findings continues to drive research forward. Pyramid History: Evolving Understanding Through Recent Findings Our understanding of pyramid history is being rewritten as new technologies allow us to see what lies beneath these ancient monuments. The traditional timeline of pyramid development begins with the Step Pyramid of Djoser (around 2630 B.C.) and culminates with the Great Pyramid of Giza (around 2560 B.C.). However, the discovery of potentially vast underground structures suggests a more complex timeline and purpose. If verified, these findings would indicate that the visible pyramids might be just the tip of a much larger architectural achievement – one that required even greater engineering prowess than previously thought. The religious and cultural significance of the pyramids also takes on new dimensions with these discoveries. While traditionally understood as monuments reflecting beliefs in the afterlife, the potential underground complex suggests a more multifaceted purpose that might have included: Complex religious rituals beyond burial Astronomical observations and calculations Storage of knowledge or artifacts Functions we have yet to fully comprehend The Controversy Surrounding New Findings The archaeological community remains sharply divided on the interpretation of the radar data. Critics point to several issues: Methodological concerns : Questions about the reliability of SAR technology at extreme depths Lack of physical evidence : No direct excavation has yet confirmed the radar findings Alternative explanations : Possibilities of natural geological formations being misinterpreted Historical inconsistencies : Questions about how such massive underground structures could have been built with ancient technology Proponents counter that the geometric regularity and precise arrangement of the detected structures strongly suggest human origin rather than natural formation. They also point to historical accounts and ancient texts that hint at hidden chambers and passages beneath the pyramids. Future Research Directions and Implications The current state of research faces several significant challenges: Access limitations : Obtaining necessary permissions from Egyptian authorities for further excavations Technological constraints : Continuing debate over the reliability of current scanning technologies Scientific validation : Need for peer-reviewed studies and concrete evidence through excavation Despite these obstacles, the potential implications of these discoveries are profound. If confirmed, they would fundamentally alter our understanding of ancient Egyptian capabilities and potentially rewrite significant portions of archaeological textbooks. Future research will likely focus on: Developing more reliable deep-scanning technologies Targeted excavations in key areas identified by radar Reexamination of historical texts for clues about underground structures Interdisciplinary approaches combining archaeology, geology, and engineering Conclusion: Redefining Our Understanding of Ancient Wonders The pyramids of Egypt have stood for millennia as testaments to human ingenuity and ambition. Now, with advanced technology revealing potential structures beneath these monuments, we may be on the cusp of a revolutionary new understanding of their true scope and purpose. While much remains to be verified through further research and excavation, the current findings suggest that what we see above ground may be just a fraction of the ancient Egyptians’ architectural achievement. The pyramid secrets being uncovered today may fundamentally transform our perception of this ancient civilization’s capabilities and legacy. As technology continues to advance and research progresses, we can expect more revelations about what lies beneath one of humanity’s greatest architectural achievements. The mystery of the pyramids continues to deepen, promising new insights into our ancient past and the remarkable civilization that created these enduring monuments.

By Faun Grey Image from the BFRO Facebook page A large bigfoot was sighted on March 24 by two witneesses north of Topeka, Kansas. Matt Moneymaker with the BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researcher Organization) posted the following on the BFRO facebook page "ATTN KANSAS -- TOPEKA area Please share this with anyone you know around Topeka Kansas. BOLO: 8-9 foot tall dark sasquatch seen by two very credible witnesses 12 miles north of Topeka, Kansas. Date and Time: Monday March 24, 2025; around 8pm The two local eyewitnesses, Bob Hammes and Warren Fink (both in their 60's), were driving along a rural dirt road (94th street) in dusk conditions when they observed the sasquatch walking away from the road along a fence line. The full report will be coming in next few days. Keep an eye out around there for now." The mission of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) is multifaceted, but the organization essentially seeks to resolve the mystery surrounding the bigfoot phenomenon, that is, to derive conclusive documentation of the species' existence. This goal is pursued through the proactive collection of empirical data and physical evidence from the field and by means of activities designed to promote an awareness and understanding of the nature and origin of the evidence. Founded in 1995 in Akron, Ohio, the BFRO is now the oldest and largest organization of its kind -- a virtual community of scientists, journalists, and specialists from diverse backgrounds -- directed by California native Matthew Moneymaker (JD).

Despite the pilots' report of a fast-moving "missile-like" object passing close to their aircraft, ground control detected nothing on their monitoring systems. By Faun Grey What started as a routine commercial flight turned into an extraordinary encounter for the crew of American Airlines flight 2292 en route to Phoenix, Arizona in February, 2025. On that Sunday afternoon, around 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time, the flight crew witnessed something unusual - an unidentified flying object (UFO) passing directly above their aircraft at an altitude of 37,000 feet. As reported by The Drive , the journey began smoothly from Cincinnati, Ohio. The aircraft was cruising at its designated altitude toward Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, with passengers settling into their journey, completely unaware of the remarkable event unfolding in the cockpit. While flying over northeastern New Mexico, the pilots reached out to the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Albuquerque seeking clarification. According to Q13 Fox , the communication was captured by Steve Douglass, an experienced radio interceptor, who later shared the recording on his blog, Deep Black Horizon. The pilot's transmission revealed their bewilderment: "Do you have any targets up here? We just had something go right over the top of us. I hate to say this but it looked like a long cylindrical object that almost looked like a cruise missile type of thing moving really fast. It went right over the top of us." Intriguingly, not a single passenger aboard the flight noticed the UFO or was aware of the pilots' unusual observation. On the ground, radar operators and UFO enthusiasts worked diligently to identify the mysterious object that had approached the Airbus A320. Initially, American Airlines appeared reluctant to acknowledge the incident. "At this time, we do not have any indication the radio transmission was from the flight crew onboard American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21," the airline initially stated. However, Steve Douglass maintained that the transmission appeared genuine, without any signs of manipulation. After their initial denial, American Airlines reversed course and officially confirmed the incident. "Following a debrief with our Flight Crew and additional information received, we can confirm this radio transmission was from American Airlines Flight 2292 on Feb. 21," the company stated. "For any additional questions on this, we encourage you to reach out to the FBI." The significance of this incident cannot be understated, considering American Airlines' position as one of the world's largest airline operators. Their confirmation of the UFO encounter and subsequent referral to the FBI is particularly noteworthy - especially following the Pentagon's recent acknowledgment of the Navy's own UFO encounters. This incident gains additional context when considering that between 2007 and 2017, footage from the U.S. Navy showing rapidly moving UFOs had surfaced online. While initially met with skepticism, these videos were later authenticated by the Pentagon, lending further credibility to such aerial phenomena. This remarkable incident gained further significance following the U.S. Navy's 2019 announcement regarding new internal protocols for reporting such aerial phenomena. The location of this sighting near New Mexico's White Sands Missile Range - renowned as the Department of Defense's most extensive and comprehensively equipped open-air testing facility - naturally drew attention. However, Scott Stearns, the facility's chief of public affairs, dismissed any connection to their operations. He emphasized two crucial points: the considerable distance of approximately 400 miles between the range and flight 2292's position, and the absence of any testing activities at the facility on that particular Sunday. This unexplained encounter now joins the extensive catalog of mysterious aerial phenomena in American history, adding another layer to the ongoing discussion about unexplained objects in our skies.

By Faun Grey A total lunar eclipse will paint the moon crimson Thursday evening into Friday morning across the Western Hemisphere. North and South America will experience the most spectacular views. Select regions of Africa and Europe might observe the phenomenon. Lunar eclipses occur when precise alignment happens between the moon, Earth, and sun. Earth creates a shadow that can partially or completely obscure the moon. During partial lunar eclipses, Earth's shadow appears to carve into the moon's surface. In a total eclipse, the full moon becomes completely covered and glows reddish-copper as scattered sunlight passes through Earth's atmospheric layers. NASA reports that lunar and solar eclipses occur between four and seven times annually. The Americas, Africa, and Europe witnessed a partial lunar eclipse last September, while the previous total lunar eclipse occurred in 2022. How to see the lunar eclipse The phenomenon, nicknamed the blood moon, will be observable for approximately one hour beginning at 2:26 a.m. Eastern on Friday. Optimal viewing occurs near 3 a.m. Eastern. Simply step outside and gaze upward — no specialized equipment or eclipse glasses are required. "Clear skies should provide perfect viewing conditions," explained Shannon Schmoll, who directs Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University. European and African viewers may face challenges due to moonset timing. "This eclipse primarily favors North and South America," noted Yale University astronomy specialist Michael Faison. Should you miss this event, prepare for September 7. Another total lunar eclipse will traverse portions of Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe. American viewers will await their next opportunity in March 2026. History of eclipses Throughout millennia, societies have observed and decoded lunar eclipses. Ancient peoples possessed greater celestial knowledge than contemporary society acknowledges, according to historian Zoe Ortiz. "Their nightly observations provided clearer celestial views than our modern perspective allows," stated Ortiz from the University of North Texas. Aristotle's observations of Earth's curved shadow on the moon during lunar eclipses provided evidence of Earth's spherical shape. In ancient Mesopotamia, blood-colored moons were interpreted as royal warnings. Their solution involved temporarily installing a substitute ruler during eclipses to shield their king from potential harm. "That's definitely worthy of cinematic adaptation," Ortiz remarked.

By Faun Grey While doll possessions are uncommon (with possession rates lower than 0.0001% of all manufactured dolls), their devastating consequences nearly brought the doll industry to its knees until 1945. That year marked a turning point when Annabelle "Janice" Wallis, who had personally experienced a horrific doll possession, collaborated with toymaker Winslow Shott. Together, they conducted extensive research spanning multiple decades to understand doll possession mechanics. Their findings revealed that the sequential steps in manufacturing dolls and children's playthings were crucial in creating toys resistant to spiritual occupation. The Wallis-Shott Process, published in 1967 and now implemented globally, has significantly reduced instances of doll possessions. The process includes several essential manufacturing principles: Manufacturing guidelines specify that dolls and toys must maintain solid construction throughout production, or if hollow, this state should only exist prior to facial attachment. Modern manufacturing has shifted towards using solid components that are assembled together. The facial features must be the final element added during toy production, and should remain somewhat incomplete. While stuffed animals are still produced by filling an empty exterior with stuffing, facial elements like eyes must be attached at the very end of the process to prevent spirits from occupying the incomplete form before stuffing. Initially, dolls were designed with irises but no pupils to maintain incompleteness. However, when children began drawing pupils themselves, this approach proved risky. Current manufacturing includes multiple intentionally missing features that are difficult to complete—such as fewer digits, undefined mouth lines, pupils without irises, and similar elements. Barbie and Ken dolls, with their notably featureless anatomical areas, exemplify some of the most possession-resistant toys available. Conversely, the Construct-A-Creature Workshop has faced multiple lawsuits for deliberately disregarding the Wallis-Schott process. Their practices actively invite supernatural occupation—leaving complete unstuffed forms unattended, providing predetermined names and personalities, incorporating symbolic hearts, and performing "life-giving" ceremonies. These practices have led to their operations being prohibited in more than 50 nations. Given that all objects can potentially become Tsukumogaki, and toys that remain unpossessed but survive to that age typically develop strong personalities, manufacturers now use biodegradable materials designed to decompose naturally before reaching the century mark without special preservation methods. While the Velveteen Rabbit Phenomenon remains largely unavoidable, there's a silver lining: all documented VRP cases have resulted in toys that demonstrate protective and benevolent behavior towards their child owners. However, these transformed toys often show considerably less goodwill towards the problematic adults in these children's lives. The Duel Monsters Toy Line has maintained exemplary safety standards throughout its manufacturing history. Despite their various shortcomings, both Maximillion Pegasus and Seto Kaiba enforced stringent protocols to ensure their products posed no risk to children. However, the toy line exhibits an unusual susceptibility to supernatural possession, though not following typical ghostly patterns. In 1989, following Duel Monsters' initial release, a "Dark Magician" figurine from a private collection became animated during a thaumaturgic storm surge after lightning struck its housing. The figure began vocalizing in what language experts analyzing the recordings identified as Ancient Khemetic. Over subsequent years, this Egyptian spirit manifested in various Dark Magician merchandise, including figurines, dolls, plush toys, posters, and even made an appearance on a printed T-shirt. While conspiracy theorists propose these manifestations resulted from Mr. Pegasus appropriating the identity of an actual ancient sorcerer for his card designs, no conclusive evidence has ever substantiated these claims.
