n the late 1940s, the chilling case of 14-year-old “Roland Doe,” allegedly possessed by demonic forces, shocked the public as priests documented terrifying exorcisms. While some saw these events as proof of the supernatural, others have since argued that mental illness, deception, or misinterpretation fueled the spectacle. This haunting tale inspired The Exorcist and continues to ignite fierce debates about the nature of possession and the human mind.

In 1957, Brazilian farmer Antônio Vilas-Boas claimed he was abducted by extraterrestrials while working his fields at night, igniting one of the first widely publicized alien abduction stories. He described a glowing, egg-shaped craft descending from the sky, forcing him to flee before being taken aboard. Though many skeptics believe his tale was a hoax, Vilas-Boas steadfastly maintained his shocking encounter with alien beings until his death, leaving a lasting mark on UFO lore.

Max Théon, mysterious occultist of the late 19th century, immersed himself in mystical practices and secret societies. As the founder of the Hermetic Brotherhood of Luxor & leader of the Cosmic Movement, he shared his esoteric path with his enigmatic wife, Alma. Théon’s influence deeply impacted Western occultism, connecting him to figures like H.P. Blavatsky and shaping Sri Aurobindo’s later teachings, solidifying his enduring legacy in the realm of mysticism.
