Greetings, and welcome to The /x/ Files, the weekly news digest for 4chan's Paranormal board. Every Sunday, we take a quick snapshot of the mysterious world around us and bring it, in an easily readable magazine format, to the board. I am The Editor, the anonymous creator of this idea and collector of the news that will be following below. In the interests of legitimacy, I will be using a secure tripcode to post the thread; once the posts are completed, I will take the tripcode off and return to my anonymity.
And a very merry Ishtar to you all! I'm reporting live on location from my parent's home. My mother has made an almost full recovery from her pneumonia, and since it was so close to the holiday, we all decided I should stay over til the weekend was over before I went back to my own home. This week, we've got breaking news about King Tut's Tomb, possible Jurassic Park-style discoveries, and a burial site found in Poland that predates the pyramids. That and the usual stuff, in Issue Twenty of The /x/ Files!

Paranormal News of the Week
Hidden Rooms Confirmed In King Tut's Tomb
In continuation of the story we've been following since the inaugural issue of The /x/ Files, Egyptian Antiquities Minister Mamdouh El Damati announced, on March 17th, that based on preliminary findings from a radar scan of King Tut's tomb site, experts are 90% sure they found two new chambers behind the walls of Tut's resting place. Damati told the press conference that metal and organic masses were revealed by the scans, signaling that the rooms could possibly contain funerary objects. "It could be the discovery of the century. It's very important for Egyptian history and the history of the world," he said, adding that the chambers may well have belonged to a king or queen.
The search for the mysterious hidden room began last year when University of Arizona Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves discovered what he believed to be the outline of a hidden doorway, after examining photographs of the tomb's interior. Soon afterwards the Egyptian Antiquities Ministry authorized the use of scanning equipment within the tomb to look for evidence of hidden rooms and initial scans revealed part of the tomb's northern wall appeared to have different temperature to the rest of the tomb - a discrepancy thought to indicate a secret chamber.
King Tutankhamun, was the Egyptian pharaoh who rose to power at the tender age of 10 and died of mysterious causes at age 20. His opulent tomb was discovered by British archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922. The boy king was buried quickly; many experts believe that his death was unexpected, and that his underlings had to put him in a makeshift tomb.
Further tests will be done on March 31st to discover more about the newly-discovered spaces, followed by another news conference on April 1st.

Pregnant T. Rex Found, May Contain DNA
A pregnant Tyrannosaurus rex has been found, shedding light on the evolution of egg-laying as well as on gender differences in the dinosaur. The remains also could contain the holy grail of all dinosaur fossils: DNA. "Yes, it's possible," Said Lindsay Zanno, assistant research professor of biological sciences at North Carolina State University, and head of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences' Paleontology Research Lab. "We have some evidence that fragments of DNA may be preserved in dinosaur fossils, but this remains to be tested further."
What has been confirmed so far is that the T. rex, which was found in Montana and dates to 68 million years ago, retained medullary bone that reveals the individual was pregnant. Medullary bone is only present in female living dinosaurs, i.e. birds, just before and during egg laying. It's this type of bone that could retain preserved DNA.

Who diddled your asshole faggot?
Last Friday I was attending a party where me and my gf were taking ecstasy ( a dutch lion and around an hour later a blue Audi) before we decided to spark some bush. I have done ecstasy tens of times, smoke weed daily and done acid around 7 times within the past 3 months (highest dose = 750ug, have also combined with weed, ecstasy and ketamine). We put around 0.5g of bush into the single joint and decided to smoked it. After we sat around for about ten minutes after the joint as it hit us we decided to go for a cigarette. When we sat outside we immediately noticed things just seemed different, we started getting medium level deja vu and felt as if we were within a dream. My gf then started going on about the two guys talking beside us and saying how she dreamt about this, but however in the dream it was me telling her, at first she thought the guy was copying a story i was saying. This was before he started apparently saying everything word for word as it appeared in the dream. At this point i was in disbelief being a rational thinker, however she begun saying to me exactly what the guy was about to say. It was at this point when i turned to her in shock, while i looked at her face (which was continuously morphing) i somewhat completely zoned out which is when i realized the complete surroundings and was remembered of a dream i also had from a couple weeks back. I looked around and everything was as exactly as i could recall. It was at this point where i completely questioned reality and considered the rational thoughts of that i was still dreaming or had completely lost my mind. Me and my girlfriend have since been completely flabbergasted and are wondering if anyone else has had any similar experiences and an explanation. It is also worth noting that my gf has never tried acid before and really wants to, it was me who told her this is what acid was like and now shes dying to do it. Cheers
Drugs distort reality. The simple answer is your brain had a plethora of different chemicals inside of it which changed the way you were thinking and acting. Sober up do more drugs rinse and repeat. Purpose of life right there.

You're a fucking idiot

But is it just a coincidence we both believed we dreamed this? Did my mind just create a fake dream in respone to my girlfriends reaction?
Cabin recently found in Arcata California's city park. It was so well camoflauged that the person who discovered it didn't see it until they were less than five yards away. The city put up an eviction notice, and when they came back a month later someone had taken the cabin and all but a few furniture pieces down and cleaned the area out. Shortly after, they returned to the site to find a symbol on placed on the ground where the cabin had been.
Thoughts?

Has anyone here ever succeeded in necromantic rituals? I mean ... something measurable
a true necromancer/sorcerer doesn't need a ritual to control the dead or most any other form of matter. they are able to constrain souls and protect themselves from harm once doing so.
I once saw a wanderer bring a camel back from the dead. The camel was missing its ribs and most of its hide quarter, for it was mauled by a lion. Scary shit
>>17516497
I can aid in those wishing to learn a form of necromancy known as the val-galdr.
Norse in origin.
I am also a funeral director/embalmer. Ask me what you will.
Ever experience a "glitch" in reality? Tell me about it.

>I was in what looked like a industrial site
>in front of me a woman (that I know, but I can't remember who it is) behind bars
>she's telling me that the "time has come" (this is rare that I have dreams where I hear what the people are saying and she then counted to ten
>then I went to another room, while still hearing her counting, where there was a gallow
>I use the gallow
>I hung myself, I could feel how I can't breath anymore and how the thing is lacing around my neck
>everything went blacker and blacker, and I could hear the sound of a heartbeat (like the sound you hear when you're being shot in Half-Life)
What an unsettling dream
I also have some depressive episodes, and was very suicidal in my youth.
I never have dreams this clear
help me /x/
If this is real, go to theropy. If this is fake, pretty nice bait m8.
>>17516442
Its not fake? Why should this be fake
I thought these kinds of dreams aren't that rare
Expressing and having suicide ideation are signs that you DO NOT want to do it. When people want to die , they are very set and do it.
I experience it too , its not that you want to do , its that you simply don't want to exist. A solution to a temporary problem because you do not want to cope with the pain.

strange ritualistic dream last night
I was carried by some sort of spell to a group of people wearing all black like this and then i had to swallow a worm without chewing it.
After I swallowed the worm I woke up.
Anyone know of any rituals like this? Also the worm would explode if i didn't swallow it whole i was told.
Enjoy your demon posession
>>17517303
no possession yet, how long does it usually take?
>>17517308
i took some Robitussin in hopes that my weakened state provides for a good host for a demonic possession. So far nothing though.
Hey, this photo has circulated on the internet for a while. I've been wondering about it's authenticity, or is it just another one of those internet-born hoaxes? What do you think /x/?
Lived in seattle my whole life and this is the first I'm hearing of this magical life hole.

Thank you, anon.
Here is why : 1.) Environmental disaster 2.) Nuclear apocalypse. 3.) Overpopulation. Simply, cannot be in extraterrestrial interest for this planet to become a smoldering heap of radioactive ash or anti-civilization African planet shithole.
These are the two scenarios that the world is inevitably hurdling towards. An international caliphate of Sunni Islam. CIA Master of the Universe Micheal Scheuer predicts this. 1.7 billion adherents to Islam a inherently militant religion while the West slumbers in Neo-Marxian delusion and surrenders to the third world immigration which will destroy our civilization. With environmental catastrophe looming and the increasing ubiquity of nuclear arms (even spreading into Africa!) this is not sustainable. Its the old idea "yes, whites have wrought tremendous havoc but imagine what the Africans would do with the same technology!". We don't want to find out. African will number 4.2 billion by 2100 with current population estimates! I don't mean to alienate minorities on the board, just framing this realistically.
An environmental catastrophe would also lead to a largely uninhabitable and absolutely will occur in an African/Arab/Hispanic planet. African and Arabs are far more impulsive and have lower IQs than Europeans/Asians. They also have far more militant and virile societies. Look at the shocking lack of scientific contributions from these populations combined with their constant warring. Also, they will not be able to make the necessary sacrifices in fossil fuels and certainly in this scenario we will not be making the scientific advancements to solve the problems.

Brief explanation and I'd be willing to carry on the conversation. I imagine the aliens at the very least would like to save the ecology of this rarest of life-supporting planet with a highly advanced civilization. The evolutionary product of billions of years. It will absolutely occur if our horrible governments allow it. The evidence is overwhelming. Before any skeptics cop out I'd simply encourage you to the investigative work necessary to confirm the reality of the extraterrestrial presence ufocasebook.com It increased substantially after the detonation of nuclear weapons and many of the most reliable testimonies (army, navy) have centered around nuclear arms facilities. There can be no coincidence here. This is undoubtedly a sign to our governments, even possibly a message to our people from the aliens.
Understand this most important point. Regardless of whether it happens or not, we NEED it to happen. Obviously, it is the most important thing to seek in the history of our species to seek the Disclosure from our government setting up the contact with the extraterrestrials. This is also the most important political advocacy one could undertake. The only thing holding us back are our increasingly shifty governments.
We seem to have three choices at this stage. 1.) Nuclear-armed African planet, unsustainable consumption 2.) Nuclear armed International Caliphate 3.) Environmental catastrophe make the Earth largely uninhabitable. 4.) Alien contact to receive their technology and assistance preventing the first three scenarios
>>17515760
/pol/ and /x/ my two favorite boards in one post. It would correlate with the increase of UFO sightings when people are dicking around with nuclear weapons. Any idea about it happening within areas of ecologicol catastrophes?
Overpopulation isn't as much of a problem as you might think. I used to worry about that sort of thing myself and then I did some research on it.
For one, surprisingly our planet can actually sustain a much larger population than we currently have. So even with ever increasing populations we still wouldn't actually hit rock bottom for quite a while.
and the cherry on top, is that developed countries are actually hitting equilibrium. In a perfectly ideal simulation every person would need exactly 2 children to have a unchanging population, below 2 and the population declines, above 2 and it increases. Well in reality this number needs to be higher than 2 because people die before they have kids.
The actual number of children per woman in the united states is around 2. I find different values depending on the source, some have it just above 2 and some actually have it below. In 2015 it's 1.87 according to this source: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2127.html
and you can see many more countries with stable or declining birthrates.
You mentioned in the OP that Africa will reach 4.2 billion, but can their infrastructure actually support that? They'll either die off to fix the overpopulation, or they'll figure out a way to sustain themselves in which case following the trend of every other developed country their birth rates will likely stabilize as well.
When there are too many coincidences in your life at what point should you be spooked
I'm pretty spooked right now too many unlikely things happening
I asked for help in the middle of a stone circle and suddenly unlikely things keep happening which make things go well for me or save me.
I'm scared
>>17515684
Coincidences don't exist brah. Unspook yourself with eating right and lifting heavy ass weight.
>>17515684
If you start seeing TOO many coincidences you may want to see a head-doctor
>>17515684
Why being scared? Having a normal and healthy mind is to recognize divine and spiritual realities as real, not the opposite.
Why do old photographs (in black and white) are so frightening and mysterious?
As a kid I used to think that the world before 1950 was in black and white.
