Preface

Throughout
my life I have had an interest in the Unknown, the Mysterious, and the
Paranormal. Growing up in the latter half of the 20th century, I
devoured all I could read on the Paranormal. At that time, the Paranormal
consisted of only a few categories – UFO’s, Crop Circles, and Ghosts. It seemed
that everything we read about today was lumped into these fields.  And there
were no mysteries in archaeology or civilizations. Yet, I knew deep down that
all was not as it appeared. There was so much more to learn and discover.

I
grew up in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. To those in the UFO community, this
area is well known. Did this area of unknown lights, strange creatures and
ancient legends influence my interests? Maybe. Or perhaps it is embedded in my
genetic code. Regardless, I have spent a lifetime of searching for answers.
Only to find more questions. This book is an attempt to compile and explain the
relationship between many of the anomalies that have given me cause to question
our reality.

This
book would not have been written without the undying love and support of my
best friend, soul mate, and husband. Ed believed in me and my research. Without
his endless encouragement, I would probably have left most of this information
collecting cobwebs in my computer. Thank you.

I
would also like to thank those in my family who share with me a love of the
unknown - my sister, Becky, for always believing in my writing and abilities;
my son, Jeremy, for being a sounding board for my theories; and my daughter,
Jennifer, for just being you.

And
I would also like to thank everyone who has always been so willing to offer
assistance and answer my questions. It is because of all the wonderful people
who have entered my life that I am sitting here writing this.

Introduction

This
is the first in a series of books about various anomalies found in the United
States and how these anomalies are possibly related as well as being associated
with Ley Lines or Earth Energy Lines. I am writing about them on a state by
state basis, making it easier for those who would like to visit these areas and
see for themselves the mysteries which reside there.

I
have read extensively on the topics of Ley Lines and Energy Grids and the
oddities found near them. This is my interpretation, my understanding, of how
the energies found along these grid lines may interact with local geology and
other natural elements to create and/or enhance mankind’s (un)earthly
experiences. I reference the books and websites from which I obtained
information. Many of the tales of the unexplained have come from people I
encountered throughout my life.

While
the science of Ley Lines is still in its infancy, many knowledgeable people have
come to similar if not the same conclusions about them. There is an invisible
(to most people) energy grid which encompasses the Earth. This grid is the
source of magnetic anomalies, power surges, strange sightings in the sky and on
the ground, and the location of remnants of ancient civilizations.

Ley
Lines were often, and still are, scoffed at. Those people who have felt the
pull, seen the unseen, and have been able to locate this Earth Energy Grid are
believers. It is these people who have left the naysayers behind and continued
to do the research necessary to further the understanding and knowledge of this
ancient energy system. Many thanks to them for persevering.

It
is my belief that the Earth Energy Grid has been a source of inspiration,
enlightenment, and energy since time immemorial. Is it a coincidence that
ancient mysteries and oddities are located on or near Ley Lines? Not likely in
the majority of cases. Our Ancient Ancestors knew more about the environment in
which they lived than we can even possibly imagine. They built magnificent
structures on these grids. Unique petroglyphs were used to mark locations of
portals and vortexes. Strange occurrences and odd beings have been seen on or
around these energetic sites for centuries. Our Ancestors, the Ancient Ones,
were able to utilize these energies to their advantage and advancement.
Unfortunately, we have lost the instruction manual for what possibly might be the
greatest tool we could possibly hope to utilize in our search for knowledge and
enlightenment – Earth’s Energy Lines. May we have the strength to open our
hearts and souls so that we may find answers

Part 1     Ley Lines

Overview

To better understand the occurrences which take place on or near
ley lines, a basic understanding of ley lines is needed.

There are a variety of ley lines; some producing good energy
while others produce dark or bad energy. Many follow fault lines (or do the
earthquake fault lines follow the energy lines?) while others follow a more
geomagnetic path. While they are all different, they are also the same. Ley
lines receive their energy from either the sun, the moon, or the Earth's
geomagnetism. Ley lines produce energy which can influence living organisms located
near them, they can influence mankind through enabling enlightenment, and
strange phenomenon can be seen near them.

Some people believe that ley lines are the invisible lines which
connect man-made sacred sites - ancient monuments, henges, standing stones and megalithic
structures – rather than the actual energy line. These structures were built on
an existing power grid which the ancient peoples knew about. Where their
knowledge of this earth energy grid system came from is anyone's guess.
Folklore says the Ancients were told of these grids by the Star People. Others
say that the Ancients were better in tune with the Earth and were able to sense
them or even dowse for them like many people do today.  I use the term ley line
to refer to the naturally occurring energy grid which encircles the Earth.

Types of Energy Lines

There are several earth grids and energy waves - Becker &
Hagens Grid, Hartmann Grid, Curry Grid, Black Lines, Vile Vortices, Potential
Portals, and the Schumann Wave. I will write briefly about each of these and
hopefully explain how they are relevant to our world.

The first written account of earth grid lines came from Plato in
his writings, Timeaus. Plato theorized that the planet Earth evolved
from simple geometric shapes into more complex ones. These geometric shapes
became known as the Platonic Solids. Plato associated each of the five shapes -
cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron - with an element
- earth, fire, air, ether (Universe), water. The Earth's Energy Grid evolved
through each of these shapes over time into what it is today.

Ivan T. Sanderson, a Scottish biologist and writer, was the first to
postulate about the relationship of the icosahedron shape and the Earth.
Sanderson claimed that there are twelve geographic areas that are alleged to
all have the same mysterious disappearances occur within them. Of these twelve
locations, five are located on the same latitude north of the equator, five are
located on the same latitude south of the equator, and the remaining two are
located at the North Pole and the South Pole. These areas were called Vile
Vortices by Sanderson. The Bermuda
Triangle, the Devil's Sea near Japan, and the South
Atlantic Anomaly are a few of the Vile Vortices.

In 1973, a Russian team of scientists took Sanderson’s theory
one step further. They overlaid a combination of icosahedrons and dodecahedrons
over Sanderson’s map; lining up seismic zones, ocean ridges, gravitational
anomalies, sites of ancient civilizations (known at the time) and routes used
by migratory animals.

Bill Becker and Bethe Hagens then added to the map generated by the
Russian team.  They superimposed a spherical polyhedron (developed by
R. Buckminster Fuller) over the Russian planetary grid map. This is known
as the Becker & Hagens Grid.

The Hartmann Grid was discovered in 1954 by Ernst Hartmann. This
grid is associated with the Earth's magnetic field and influenced by the sun.
These lines run in a north to south direction as well as east to west. The
Hartmann Grid is often called the Global Grid.

The Curry Grid is named after Manfred Curry, though it was
discovered by Siegfried Wittmann in 1950. The Curry Grid runs at a 45degree
angle to the Hartmann Grid and encircles the Earth. It is believed that the
Moon, not the Sun, influences the strength of this grid. During a full moon,
the Curry Grid will have exceptionally strong energy levels at the points where
it crosses the Hartmann Grid. There is speculation that where the Curry Grid
crosses underground waterways, the energy can be especially dangerous.

Black lines are naturally occurring energy with no real
pattern or grid formation. How these lines are generated is unknown and
often they are confined to a local area. Regardless, these energy lines are of
a negative type of energy.

The width of ley lines can vary greatly. Some can be miles wide
while others can be so narrow that there will be many ley lines within a mile’s
distance.

Portals or openings to other dimensions or wormholes to other universes
are thought to exist at the junctions of ley lines. Various Anomalies,
including UFOs, Ghosts, and Cryptids, have been reported at specific points
around the globe. These specific points are generally located at places where
ley lines cross and their energies mix.

The Schumann Wave or Schumann Frequency is the name given to the
frequency which is generated by the Earth as it rotates on its axis. This
rotation causes the Earth to act as an electro-magnet by generating electrical current in
the metals found in its core and an electromagnetic field is generated on the
surface. The frequency of this surface field is 7.83 Hz, which
is almost the same as alpha brainwaves in humans. Physicist W.O.
Schumann identified this frequency in 1952. Distortions to this frequency can
occur from underground water ways, fault lines, underground caverns, mineral
deposits, and man-made structures such as roads, railways, underground
utilities, tall buildings or towers. There is a theory that states that as the
strength of the magnetic poles weakens, the frequency of the Earth becomes
lower. This lower frequency causes stronger influences of ley lines on life
forms.

Telluric current is an electric current which moves underground or through the sea.
Telluric currents result from both natural causes and human activity, and the separate
currents interact in a complex pattern. The currents are extremely
low frequency and travel over large areas at
or near the surface of the Earth.

Locating Energy Lines

Ley lines can be located by dowsing for them. An experienced
dowser can follow an energy line across hill and valley. While most energy
lines run fairly straight, many are attracted to depressions like valleys,
holes in the ground or even empty vessels. When searching for a ley line, go to
a sacred site and try locating the energy there as a starting point. Once a
person has a feel for the energy, it will become easier to locate a ley line
'out in the open'. Another method to locate earth energy lines is to use a Lobe
Antenna which was developed by Dr. Ernst Hartmann to trace the Hartmann Grid.

Geometry also comes into play when the location of ley lines are
being determined. Becker & Hagens took their revamped map and developed it
further to a grid based on the rhombic triacontahedron. This new grid has 30
diamond-shaped faces but it also revealed 15 great circles, 120 scalene right
triangles and 62 node points. The great circles divided each rhombic face into
four right triangles. This model was named "The Rings of Gaia" by
Becker & Hagens. This model was later developed into the 'Unified Vector
Geometry' theory, which connects all the vertices of the five Platonic Solids
placed inside a sphere. Interestingly, Buckminster Fuller had previously noted
the four right triangles which came from the division of the rhombic face.
Fuller recorded the internal angles in planar and spherical notations. Those
internal angles are what was used to divide the right triangles.

For the sake of this book, I am using the Becker & Hagens
Grid. I am also using the sacred geometry angles which Fuller made note of.

Influences & Energy
Lines

Ley lines have a dramatic influence on living beings. Many
maladies, insomnia, lowered immune systems, disorientation, hallucinations, can
occur from negative energy or from the energies produced by the intersecting of
multiple energy lines. Vegetation can become distorted and have a shortened
life span. Animal life generally avoids such places, instinctively knowing the
detrimental effects of the dark energy. The Ancient Peoples often built
temples, henges, and other sacred structures on positive energy lines. These
structures would often be built from specific stones which contained quartz or
magnetite or iron. The electrical energy or telluric energy at these locations
would interact with the composition of these stones possibly altering the
Schumann Frequency and causing visions to appear to people within these sites.
Shamans and priests would utilize this system. It is believed that the
interaction of the telluric current and the stones would cause the pineal gland
to vibrate and visions would be the result. The stones used in building these
sacred sites could store the earth energy and it would later be accessed.

Ley lines may also be influenced by other things - water, both
moving and stationary, geology, time of day, seasonal changes. Ley lines vary
in width and where two lines intersect, their influence will radiate out around
the point of intersection. The circle of influence can vary in size.

Anomalies & Energy
Lines

Petroglyphs (carved images in stone) can often be found near
earth energy lines. Certain specific shapes and patterns can be found across
the globe. Perhaps there was once a global society who utilized rock carvings
to mark special vortices, portals or other unique earth energies. There is also
the thought that when specific petroglyphs or images are placed together in a
specific order, the portal, vortex, or energy would be activated. Some of the
most common petroglyphs found across the globe are circles, spirals, zoomorphic
humans or horned humans. It is believed that a serpent carved on an ancient
temple or stone is meant to signify that this is a location where telluric
current passes through the site. Circles and Spirals are believed to represent
a portal or place of extreme energy production.

Ley Lines have been shown to have more energy during the day
than at night, leading to the conclusion that they receive, at least, some of
their energy from the sun - either directly or in a round-about way. Scientists
have confirmed that the Earth 'connects' to the sun approx. every eight minutes
through magnetic portals. These portals are as wide as the Earth and an
exchange of magnetic energy takes place. Is the Earth's magnetic energy being
recharged through these portals? Is the magnetic energy charging the ley
lines? Could the sun be imbedding universal knowledge in the energy lines
for people to access?

Water is a conductor of electricity. So it is no surprise that
water and waterways attract geomagnetic lines. Locate underground water sources
and chances are you'll locate a ley line. Strange floating lights can often be
seen near where a water source, especially moving water, and a ley line
intersect.

When a building is placed along an energy line as well as being
located near an underground water source, the atmosphere inside and outside of
the building will become charged electrically and light phenomenon can occur.
This charge can also affect the people in close proximity by changing their
mood or behavior or way of thinking. The composition of the building material
of temples, henges, etc. which are built on the energy grid greatly influences
the effect of that site.

Magnetic Anomalies can occur on or near ley lines, standing
stones and henges. Magnets will read inaccurately and electronic devices will
malfunction. Perhaps the telluric currents are interacting with the stones and
causing interference. The geography over which ley lines run, often
contain quartz, granite, limestone, or iron. All these can effect electrical or
magnetic currents. Magnetite increases the magnetic properties. Granite can
cause an even greater magnetic influence.

Ancient People knew more than modern society gives them credit
for. They used earth energy lines to locate their temples, cities, and
ceremonial sites. Often archeo-astronomical sites - places where the solstice
or equinox would be seen - are located in proximity to these energy grids.
Today, modern man has located military bases, large utility plants, and major
political buildings along these very same grids.

Paranormal activity can also be found in these areas. Perhaps
the energy generated along these lines provides a way for spirits or other
beings to manifest. Perhaps the energy enables the veil to thin between
dimensions or it opens a wormhole between universes. If this is the case, then
it would be explain why the majority of UFO sightings occur along ley
lines.

UFOs are thought to work on a type of anti-gravity propulsion
system. In school we learned that a magnet will repel or move away a magnet of
like polarity. Perhaps the pilots of these craft are utilizing this effect to
move their craft, aided by an energy line. Does their appearance along ley
lines support this theory?

Earth lights are another phenomenon which can be seen near Earth's
energy grid. These lights could be from the fault lines which are generally
located near energy grid lines. Scientists have found that the friction of the
tectonic plates can cause a buildup of electrical energy (think static
electricity) and this energy is then dispelled into the atmosphere. Perhaps the
electrical energy is given an extra boost by the energy grid line – almost as
if the energy grid was breathing life into the electrical energy.

The best way to access the energy which flows along ley lines is
by physical contact. Walking barefoot provides a good way for the currents to
flow into the body. A health benefit called Grounding or Earthing is based upon
this. Connecting to the earth increases the number of electrons in a person's
body which then improves the immune system and has an antioxidant effect.

Regardless, if you are a serious researcher or simply someone
out on a weekend adventure, be sure to respect all posted signs and fence
boundaries. Take only pictures and never, ever do anything which might harm the
environment. And most importantly have fun!

Part 2  Colorado Anomalous Areas

San Luis Valley

There is no place more enigmatic in the state of Colorado than
the San Luis Valley (SLV). There are legends of cryptids, occurrences of
unusual animal deaths, tales of underground alien bases and the frequent UFO
sightings. The Valley, as it is called by the locals, is located in the
south-central part of the state of Colorado and straddles the Colorado-New
Mexico border. It is surrounded by mountains and is considered a high alpine
desert and generally receives less than eight inches of rain a year. The SLV is surrounded by four major energy lines, forming a
kite shape which extends into New Mexico. The four corners of this ‘kite’ are
intersections of two ley lines.

The Valley sits atop an underground aquifer which supplies the
numerous artesian wells and hot springs which can be found there. The mighty
Rio Grande River flows through the Valley on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. The
Arkansas River once ran through the Valley but years of sediment and land
uplift changed its course to where it is today, to the north of the Valley
flowing in a southeasterly direction towards the Royal Gorge and points east.
This entire region was once part of the Western Interior Seaway, a shallow sea
which divided North America into two sections. Fossilized seashells can be
found in the mountains should a person look.

The SLV sits at the northern end of the Rio Grande Rift, an area
where the Earth's crust is being pulled apart by tectonics. Minor earthquakes
have been known to occur. This area is also known for its (ancient) volcanic
activity. Many old cones can be seen in the foothills. Because of the volcanic
activity, precious minerals were discovered here. Many gold and silver mines
are located here in the foothills of the San Juan Mountains to the west and the
Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east. But those are not the only minerals
found in the SLV; copper, iron, magnetite, quartz are only but a few that have
been discovered and mined in this region. Precious and semi-precious gems have
also been found; turquoise, opal, hematite, plume agate. There is a fault line which runs along both the east &
west sides of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

On the eastern side of the Valley is the western slope of the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Sangre de Cristo means 'blood of Christ'. The early
Spanish explorers named these mountains after seeing them turn red from the
glow of the setting sun. It is here that the Great Sand Dunes National Monument
is located. This area, covering roughly 19,000 acres, contains some of the tallest
sand dunes in the United States, with some exceeding 700 ft. These dunes were
formed, several hundred thousand years ago, by the wind depositing sand against
the foothills after blowing across the Valley floor.

Strange floating lights have been reported at the Great Sand
Dunes. Are these lights coming from alien craft or are they simply lights
coming from static electric charges generated by the sands movement? Vibrations
can be felt deep underfoot. Again, is this a vibration generated by the
shifting sand or the movement of an underground fault or is this evidence of an
underground realm?

Reports of missing people seem to go hand in hand with the Great
Sand Dunes. In the late 1880s there are reports of a Mormon Caravan
disappearing in the area, as well as a family of local sheep herders who went
missing. Even today, people get lost at the Great Sand Dunes. It is quite easy
to get turned around and confused when nothing but sand is seen. Could early
people have gotten inexplicably lost and then the Dunes simply swallowed their
lifeless bodies?

South of the entrance to the Great Sand Dunes, is Zapata Falls.
This waterfall is located about a half mile from the road. If a person sits
quietly, small dancing lights can sometimes be seen in or near Zapata Falls. It
is rumored that these lights have a playful aspect to them, much like a fairy.
Are Elementals or Nature Spirits showing themselves? Or are the lights simply a
play of the natural light?

At least a dozen different tribes - Ute, Navajo, Apache to name
but a few - lived or visited the SLV; it was an abundant hunting ground as well
as a vision quest area. Many Southwestern tribes consider the area around the
San Luis Lakes the location of a Sipapu or a place of emergence (portal). It is
here that tribes believe they were led to safety underground during a time of cleansing
and Earth changes. It is here that Ant People cared for them until it was safe
to re-emerge to the 'New World'.

To the south of the Sipapu is Mt. Blanca, considered by the
Dine` or Navajo to be the Sacred Mountain of the East. This is the location
that the Dine` say that the 'Star People' enter into our dimension on 'flying
seed-pods'.  Mt. Blanca is located in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range.

In keeping with Navajo lore about the Sky People who emerge near
Mt. Blanca, innumerable sightings of unexplained lights and aircraft can be
seen in this vicinity. A viewing tower has been constructed nearby to better
watch for the Sky People. It is also here that unexplained animal mutilations
occur. Many believe these killings are done by aliens while others believe it
is perpetrated by a more 'home-grown' entity. At the very southern end of the
Valley there is believed to be an underground base manned by aliens and humans
alike, though no concrete evidence has ever been found. Many of the locals feel
that this may be the source of the animal mutilations and unusual lights seen
at night. While most of the UFOs are seen in the vicinity of Mt. Blanca,
unexplained lights can also be spotted from any good viewing point throughout
the SLV.

Petroglyphs decorate rock faces and the walls of canyons in
numerous places in the SLV. Zoomorphic human figures and horned human figures
are common designs. But the circle is found more frequently than any other. The
early nomad tribes left their stories, their 'graffiti' for younger generations
to find. If only they had left a code book.

Near the western end of the Valley, lays an area of petroglyphs,
odd lights, and unusual gravity. Along Rock Creek Canyon and Greenie Mountain,
strange lights are seen. Some people report these lights belong to known
aircraft like small airplanes or helicopters. But oddly, these aircraft will
circle Greenie Mountain often with a search light pointed towards the ground.
Other folks say they have seen lights which cannot be attributed to any
aircraft they know about because the aerial maneuvers performed by these lights
are beyond the realm of possibilities. The Rock Creek Canyon area is an
abundant area of petroglyphs. The canyon walls provided an excellent canvas for
their artwork. And then there is the backward gravity which can be found about
five miles up Greenie Mountain. A car parked on one of the mountain’s rolling
slope and aimed downhill will actually roll back uphill.

And no mysterious place should be without its share of cryptids.
Sightings of a Sasquatch like creature have been reported in the surrounding
mountains. Out on the Valley floor, people have claimed to have seen 'desert
dragons or prairie dragons'. This is a creature many report looking like a
miniature tyrannosaurus rex about three feet tall. And there are even rumors of
a giant bird-like creature being seen in the skies. Could this be the elusive
Thunderbird of native legends?

While most areas of the country have their fair share of ghosts
and hauntings, the Valley seems to have more than normal. Everything from
ghostly cowboy posses to haunted homesteads to La Llorona - a ghostly woman who
can be found by the river crying for her dead child - can be found in abundance
here. Perhaps the veil between worlds is thinner in this area, making it easier
for the spirits to visit. Or do the energy lines combined with the water and
minerals found in the ground provide the power necessary to open and shut the
portals?

No story about the SLV would be complete without a mention of
the town of Crestone, the Shambala of the Rockies. This small town is located
on the eastern side of the Valley, on the western slope of the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains. It was originally a mining town but has now grown into a spiritual
community with a Hindu temple, several Tibetan Buddhist centers, a Carmelite
Monastery, to name but a few of the religions represented in Crestone. People
will come from all over to spend time here to further themselves on the path to
enlightenment.

South East Corner of Colorado

The South East corner of Colorado is an area of short-grass
prairie with canyons and hoo doos carved out by the waterways found there. This
area is dissected by the Arkansas River as it rolls toward the mighty
Mississippi. It is sparsely populated with only a few major towns. Ranching and
farming are the main industries.

This is an area of limestone and sandstone. One of the longest
trails of dinosaur tracks can be found here in the Comanche National
Grasslands. Fossils of giant amphibians, sharks and other bony fish species can
be found here. These ancient aquatic species inhabited the great sea which
covered this land.

The Cheraw Fault line runs through this area and has produce
minor quakes into recent times. The Ogallala (aka High Plains) Aquifer can be
found in Eastern Colorado. Many small streams and rivers flow into the Arkansas
River. The Purgatoire or Purgatory River was called Spirit River by the Ancient
natives. This river has been witness to many human dramas over the eons.

Petroglyphs can be found here covering the walls and escarpments
of the canyons. In fact, petroglyphs are quite numerous in this region. Circles
and concentric circles can be found as well as numerous zoomorphic human
figures. Early archaeologists found cup marks carved into some of the canyon
walls. These same scientists commented on how these carvings reminded them of
some which can be found in Great Britain.

But not all the rock carvings are of Native Peoples’ making.
There are carvings of a more unique origin. Ancient Celtic script called Ogham
can also be found here. Along with Archaeoastronomical sites which mark the
solstices.  And an even more enigmatic writing can be found here, one
which many believe to be ancient Thamudic writing from the Middle East. Did Old
World people journey to this area seeking treasure? Minerals? Or were they intent
on trade? Did they leave behind a history for future generations? Or were they
simply following an energy grid?

This area was home to nomadic Native Tribes which followed the
animal herds. Should they have had any legends and lore about this area, they
were kept to themselves. We do know that many Native Tribes speak of the
spiritual power of the rocks.

Reports of giant size bones which appear to be of human origin
come from areas which have been farmed and settled, especially around the Las
Animas and La Junta areas. Desert dragons, a miniature tyrannosaurus rex, have
been spotted here as well.

Strange and bizarre animal mutilations have been reported in
this region. Along with sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects and other
mysterious lights in the sky.

Two energy lines, one running NW to SE and the other running NE
to SW, cross to the east of the town of Springfield, which appears to have its
fair share of unusual lights in the sky. If the ley line which runs NW to SE is
followed in a northerly direction, an area known as Sand Creek can be found.
This is an area where the energies of the ley line have probably been altered
by a horrendous act. In 1864, the U.S. Army killed approx. two hundred members
of a Cheyenne and Arapahoe encampment in an unprovoked attack. Most of those
killed were women and children. It is said that on quiet nights, the screams
can still be heard.

Also near this energy line is a small town with interesting name
- Lycan (near Springfield). For those of you who might be wondering why I made
note of that particular town and its name, Lycan is another name for a
werewolf. Wonder if they have any ‘odd’ wolves running around…

Another interesting tidbit, the U.S. Military has acquired a
large portion of land in this area. They utilize it for ‘military maneuvers’. It
is called the Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site and is currently the second largest
training Dept. of Defense site in the nation.

When visiting this region, be sure to pack plenty of water and
be watchful of rattlesnakes. And should you hear whispers and moans in the
canyons, it is probably just the wind. Or is it?

South West Corner of Colorado

The South West corner of Colorado runs a close second to the SLV
for high strangeness. This area extends from the Colorado-Utah state line,
bordered on the North by an intersection of two ley lines near the town of
Nucla and extends to the east into the San Juan Mountains, bordered by another
ley line. This eastern ley line intersects with the energy line which borders
the western side of the San Luis Valley. These Two energy lines cross in the
vicinity of Chimney Rock National Monument. Chimney Rock may very well sit at
the intersection of these two energy lines, but I have located it just below
this intersection on the map.

It is at Chimney Rock that an archaeoastronomical site is
located along with ruins of ancient Pueblos and Kivas. Chimney Rock has a
friend called Companion Rock. Scientists believe that Chimney Rock was an
outpost for the Chacoan Culture (Chaco Canyon) where both the solstices and the
equinoxes were observed. Priests, Shamans, or religious persons would
communicate this information to Chaco Canyon via signal fires lit on the tops
of mesas.

It is between the two landmarks of Chimney Rock and Companion
Rock that the moon is framed for a period of roughly three years. This is
called the Major Lunar Standstill. Because of a wobble in its orbit, the moon
will rise at different points on the horizon for 18.6 years. At each end of the
moon’s varied swing, it will pause and rise in place before heading back into
its wobbly orbit.

In this region are located in-numerable large and small cliff dwellings,
with the most famous being Mesa Verde. Mesa Verde National Park was home to the
Anasazi Indians. Ghostly phantoms, strange orbs of light, and faint sounds of
activity can be heard in the ruins if one is able to quiet their soul long
enough to listen. Mysteries surround the disappearance of the Anasazi. Though
some believe they migrated south to later become the Pueblo Indians around Taos
and Santa Fe.

Tales of Little People can be found here. Especially in the Mesa
Verde area where it is said that they still dwell in the ruins of the cliff
dwellings. Are these ‘Little People’ Elementals or Fairies visiting from
another dimension? Or perhaps ghosts of a long gone people? Walk lightly, lest
you incur their mischief.

Petroglyphs are found here. There is even a Petroglyph Point
Trail at Mesa Verde. Spirals, circles, and unusual animal and human figures can
be seen carved or pecked into the rock faces. Sometimes even on the stones used
to build the cliff dwellings.

The cliff dwellings themselves are curious. Why would someone
build a home several hundred feet up the side of a cliff face? Everything
needed for daily living would have to be carried up ladders or precariously
narrow trails. Many people believe the cliff dwellings were built here as a defense
against marauders. Others have a theory that the water levels of the streams
were much higher and these cliff dwellings were accessible by boat. We may
never truly know the answer to that question.

The Canyon of the Ancients National Monument is also located in
this area. It, too, has pueblo ruins built centuries ago. And amazing
sculptures which Mother Nature has sculpted from sandstone. There are more
than 5000 archaeological site in this area.

The San Juan Mountains to the east were once volcanic resulting
in a highly mineralized geology. Gold, silver, quartz, granite, iron, coal and
a variety of fossils can be found here.

Uranium can be found in the area around Nucla. Another
interesting tidbit about Nucla, it is the only town on the state of Colorado to
mandate that all heads of household own a gun.

Waterways include the San Juan River, which originates in the
San Juan Mountains and flows westward into Utah, and the Animas River which
runs through Durango. There is a large underground aquifer, the Colorado
Plateaus Aquifer, which is comprised of several smaller aquifers – the
Uinta-Animas, the Mesa Verde, the Dakota-Glen, and the Coconino-De Chelly.

Desert dragons, and thunderbirds have been reported in the lower
elevation areas which are more desert like. Cryptids sightings of Sasquatch
have been reported in various locations – from high mountains to the lower
desert.

UFOs of every size, shape and form have been reported. Along
with sightings of unusual humanoid forms. There is a reported UFO crash site
not far from the Colorado-New Mexico state line. While it is located in New
Mexico, a person can’t help but wonder at why a UFO was in this locale? Perhaps
it was trying to make it to the wormhole before closing time.

The Devil's Highway runs north to south through this area.
Originally numbered US 666 this section of road has been renumbered US Route
491 to help dispel the tales of tragedy which surround it. An unusually high
rate of traffic accidents have occurred on this stretch of road, Travelers have
reported packs of large dogs that can run as fast as a car, disappearing
hitchhikers, ghostly wraiths, missing time, and even shape-shifting Skinwalkers.

Sleeping Ute Mountain, a sacred mountain to the Southern Ute
People can be seen near the town of Cortez. It is said that the mountain was
once a great warrior who laid down to recover from his injuries while battling
the Evil Ones. This mountain is sacred to the Ute Mountain Ute people.

The energy of this area is strong and many people can feel its
draw. Should you visit, be mindful of the stray dogs. They may just be Hounds from
Hell or even Skinwalkers set on stealing your soul!

Central Triangle

This triangle shaped area is located in north-central Colorado. The
ley lines which form the triangle run from the Colorado-Wyoming border near
Mountain Home, Wyoming (intersection of three ley lines) to a location east of
Denver near the town of Lindon (intersection of three ley lines) to the
foothills south of Pikes Peak near the Royal Gorge and Canon City (intersection
of two ley lines). The eastern corner of the triangle is located near Greeley.

The city of Denver is almost dead-center of the triangle. Boulder
and Colorado Springs are also included in this triangular area. Many of
Colorado’s Fourteeners (mountains over 14,000ft in elevation) are found within
these boundaries. The northwest to the southeast ley line runs through a varied
landscape – from the high peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the prairie
grasslands. The northeast to southwest ley line covers mainly grassy prairie
with only a short section reaching into the foothills of PikesPeak. And the
third ley line, which runs fairly north to south, runs through the heart of the
Colorado Rockies.

Numerous gold mining towns are to be found in this triangle. Two
of the largest, and richest, gold mining areas in the state are located in this
triangle – Central City/Blackhawk and Cripple Creek/Victor. During its heyday
of mining, Central City was known as the “richest square mile on earth”! In the
Cripple Creek/Victor area, 731 metric tons of gold have been mined through the
year 2005. Today, the Cripple Creek area is still being mined for gold. But gold
is not the only mineral – coal, copper, molybdenum, are also located here as
well as precious and semi-precious gems – amazonite, topaz, smoky quartz, and
even diamonds.

The Denver Basin Aquifer rests under much of this area. This
aquifer is made up of several aquifers at different levels - the Dawson,
Denver, Arapahoe, and Laramie-Fox Hills. It is estimated that this water may be
upwards of 50 million years old. The knowledge which this water must hold!

Fault lines – There is a short fault running north to south
immediately west of Denver and then another two fault lines by Colorado
Springs. The first of the two runs in a north to south direction and originates
on the west side of the city of Colorado Springs. The second fault line is
longer and runs along the west side of Pikes Peak and extends almost halfway to
Denver.

In the Denver area are two air force bases – one of which is
still active and one which was closed in 2006. There is also an old arsenal
complex (which made chemical weapons) and a large federal government building
which sits inside a tall fenced in area. This building is the Denver Federal
Center, home to branches of several U.S. Gov’t. Agencies. It is also the home
of the National Ice Core Laboratory. A person can’t help but wonder what
secrets are held within the walls of that building!

Denver International Airport can be found to the east of Denver.
DIA is the largest airport in the United States by land area. DIA is the center
of many rumors regarding odd wall murals, gargoyles (stone) in the baggage
claim area, and mysterious underground tunnels.

A variety of Cryptids can be found in this triangle – Sasquatch,
werewolves, and a lake monster. Glimpses of Sasquatch, along with footprints,
have been reported in the foothills and higher peaks of this region. Mysterious
werewolf like creatures have been seen in the foothills surrounding the city
suburbs. And a Loch Ness type lake monster has been spotted in the high
mountain lake named Loch Lomond, to the west of Denver.

Unique geological formations can be seen near Boulder and on to
the south. The Flatirons outside of Boulder are a sandstone formation believed
to be 290-296 million years old. It was uplifted and tilted 35-80 million years
ago. This unusual formation looks like a series of old fashioned clothes irons
which have been stacked together. The Flatirons are part of the Fountain
Formation which extends south to Colorado Springs. Red Rocks Amphitheater is
also part of the Fountain Formation. This naturally occurring amphitheater was
once known as The Garden of the Titans and was probably once used by the Ute
Indians for ceremonial purposes. It is now a world famous venue for performing
artists.

Boulder is a unique community located to the northwest of Denver.
It has its own sort of enigmatic charm and many national laboratories are
located there, including several associated with space and astronomy. There is
also a fairly large community of esoteric thinkers located in or near Boulder.

Greeley, a city to the northeast of Denver, is located very near
a ley line. This city was originally founded as an experimental utopian society
in 1869. Greeley was always on the cutting edge of modern technology being one
of the first with electric lights, telephones, and one of the first
broadcasting radio stations in the U.S.A. Today Greeley is a modern metropolis
that has its share of hauntings, anomalous lights, and cattle mutilations.

Colorado Springs is located near the southern corner of the
central triangle. It sits at the base of Pikes Peak. Located in or near this
city are a total of five military bases! The most interesting of these is NORAD
- North American Aerospace Defense Command - which is located inside Cheyenne
Mountain. Cheyenne Mountain is directly south of Pikes Peak. The show
Stargate SG-1 took place at NORAD. Could there possibly be any truth to the
show? An energy line runs through Cheyenne Mountain.

On the west side of Colorado Springs is the Garden of the Gods -
the southern edge of the Fountain Formation. The rocks of this unique geologic
feature have been sculpted over the eons by wind & rain, forming many
unique anthropomorphic formations. The Northern Utes have always seen this as a
sacred site. Now, people travel from around the world to experience that same
mysterious grandeur.

Further west from the Garden of the Gods is the Cave of the
Winds. The full extent of this cave system is unknown but more is being
explored and mapped as time goes by. The Jicarilla Apache migrated through this
area and spoke of a cave where the Great Wind Spirit lived. The Utes believed
it to be the entrance to the underworld.

Pikes Peak, fondly known as America's Mountain, dominates the
western horizon of Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak is unique in that it is the
eastern most 14,000 ft peak in the United States. The mountain’s shadow at
sunrise can extend as far west as 50 miles and the mountain can be seen as far
away as 80 miles to the east. The Utes believe that this is where they emerged
into this world. This belief hints at a portal to another dimension. And a
portal would need the energy produced by ley lines.

The region around Pikes Peak sees an inordinate amount of
lightning strikes. Meteorologists say it is because of the prevailing weather
patterns interacting with the mountains. Or is the lightning ‘super-charging’
the energy lines found near here? For whatever reason, this fact brought Nikola
Tesla to Colorado Springs where he built a workshop and spent many years
working on his inventions.

To the northeast of Colorado Springs, approx. 30 miles, is an
area known as Painted Mines. This is an area of spires, hoo doos, and canyons
set amidst short-grass prairie. The variety of colored clay found here, which
forms the rock sculptures, brought many tribes to the area. The clay was used
in their pottery as well as their ceremonial paint.

There is the possibility of two vortexes in the Colorado Springs
area. The first is located on the top of a bluff on the northeast side of the
city. There are reports of electronic devices rebooting and cold chills
experienced by people during a hot summer day. The second is also located to
the northeast of the city, but further to the north. It is found in a wooded
location known as Black Forest. Reports of dark entities, strange lights, and
(possible) poltergeist activity have come from this area.

Also found in the Black Forest area are a large number of Ute
Culturally Modified Trees. The Utes who traversed this region felt trees were
sacred and utilized them with many of their ceremonies. The Utes modified the
trees to look like full grown bonsai trees. Trees which grow over geopathically
stressed areas will also grow in such a manner. My belief is that the Natives
knew of the ley lines which run through this area and used them in creating
these unique trees. Throughout the Pikes Peak region Ute Cultural Trees can be found.

Located
between Colorado Springs and Pikes Peak is a small community named Manitou
Springs. This area is rich in natural mineral springs. It is said that if the
water from all the springs is combined, it would be the equivalent of the
Fountain of Youth. Unfortunately, one spring is privately owned while the rest
are open for public use.

Farther down the energy line of the triangle is a canyon where a
number of petroglyphs are found. Early studies of this area also turned up
stone circles and those who did the studies likened what they found to early
finds in Europe. Unfortunately this canyon and others surrounding it are now
part of a US Army military base. A person can't help but wonder what their
interest in it is.

The southern corner of the central triangle is found near the
Royal Gorge and Canon City. The Royal Gorge is also called the Grand Canyon of
the Arkansas. The Arkansas River carved a path (ten miles long) through the
deep (1,250 feet) canyon. It is truly a wonder to behold. The Royal Gorge is
located to the west of the town of Canon City. Interestingly, there are a total
of nine state and four federal prisons and penitentiaries located here. The
impact of all that negative energy on the grid cannot be good.

The western side of this triangle runs through the Front Range
of the Rocky Mountains. Most of the area is sparsely populated with a few
pockets of larger towns. It is also the area where most of the Sasquatch
activity is reported and the area where more people go missing while in the
high country. Coincidence?

The last ley line of the Central Triangle travels past the
western slope of Pikes Peak and the gold mining towns of Cripple Creek and
Victor. Also near this line is The Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.
This is an area rich in fossils from roughly 34 million years ago. Nearby
volcanoes erupted and their ash caused an algae bloom in the lake that was once
found here. The ash and the algae filled in the lake and created what are now
the fossil beds. To the Utes who traversed this area, it was known as The
Valley of the Shadows. The Utes saw the fossils found here as being ‘shadows’
of the real plants and animals.

Pikes Peak is composed of a pink granite called Pikes Peak
Granite. Topaz, Flourite, and numerous other high quality crystals and minerals
can be found in pockets of this granite. In fact, the Pikes Peak Granite is
part of a larger geologic formation called the Florissant Lineament. This
geologic formation extends for over 40 miles (as the crow flies) from Bailey to
Cripple Creek. The Florissant Lineament is believed to have been caused by
numerous small fault lines. The Lineament also follows the ley line which runs
from the Royal Gorge area to the intersection near Mountain Home. Granite is
slightly radioactive and can alter a person's consciousness, like many of the
stones used in megalithic structures and standing stones. Does living here in
such close proximity to this granite cause a person to develop heightened
psychic abilities?

Bailey and the surrounding area is known for its picturesque
mountains but also for the number of Sasquatch sightings in this region. One
small subdivision of Bailey is located far from the main road and was once the
location for the ‘wild crowd’ from Denver. Liquor and gambling and wild women
could be found in this little spot hidden away in the hills. Sightings on
unmarked black helicopters have been reported in the Bailey area along with
unusual lights in the night sky.

Many of the old mining towns in Colorado are located on or near
energy lines. Many of these towns have now become ghost towns with most of
their long deceased inhabitants still in residence.

Central Kite Polygon

The Central Kite Polygon is sandwiched between the San Luis
Valley area, the Central Triangle, the ley line which runs through the Chimney
Rock National Monument, and a fourth ley line which runs from Mountain Home to the
Nucla area. Located in the southeastern quadrant is a mountain range, the
Sawatch Range, rich in gems and minerals, especially aquamarine. Also in this
mountain range, which seems to run parallel to the energy line directly to the
east, are numerous hot springs.

Further north is a large open valley surrounded by mountains.
This area is called South Park. It is the last of three large, high-altitude
park-like valleys located in the Front Range of Colorado, with North Park and
Middle Park being the names of the other two. An energy line runs along the
eastern side of South Park and extinct volcanoes can be seen in the hills
surrounding South Park. This area is known for the high number of UFO’s spotted
here. Some people speculate that the UFO’s come for the uranium which can be
found there.

The north-western ley line, which runs from Nucla to Mountain
Home, goes very close to Glenwood Springs. Another area known for its mineral
hot springs. The Utes who traveled through this region would seek out the
healing benefits of the bubbling water. Glenwood Springs, while being only a
large town, is now draws people from all over the world to experience the
mineral water and it has its fair share of hauntings.

A lot of this region is wilderness and a person should take
appropriate precautions when hiking here. Notify friends or park rangers of your
location and take plenty of food, water and warm clothing. Bears, cougars, or
moose may not be the only wildlife a hiker might run into! And remember to take
only pictures and leave nothing behind.
