I first heard about this beast from a Tlingit ex-girlfriend more than two decades ago. The way she said the name — Gonakadet — cracked like a rifle shot in my skull. The Sea-Wolf . Half-myth, half-mammal, and all hunger. Her story still bubbles up from the subconscious like something dragged through the dream-silt of my brain. Most memories sink back into the mire, but this one claws up and refuses to let go. You don’t shake the Sea-Wolf; the Sea-Wolf shakes you. The Girl and the Gray Dog-Sharks She told me about standing on the shores of Lake Iliamna as a little girl, when the water was flat as glass. Then came the wakes — five, six of them, cutting across the surface, converging like missiles on her position. At first she thought they were seals. Cute, clumsy, oversized seals. Then the truth surfaced: gray dog-sharks, spotted hides, eyes full of hate. “If I’d been in the water,” she said, “they would have torn me to pieces.” She never touched Iliamna again. Haunted her whole l...

  9/30/2025 Update Originally written in 2017, my experimental writing piece of semi-fictionalized “American Horror,” Kevin Wikse vs. The Men in Black , has reached over 2 MILLION reads ! My story is based on a personal encounter I had with what I believe to be Men in Black somewhere between Idaho and California, which I believe arose from my association with Ufologist Phil Schneider, certain circumstances I might have known surrounding his death (murder), and a project that I had been invited to take part in. While the violence of the real situation and my semi-fictionalized event was undoubtedly embellished, there remain solid elements of fact which did occur, forever changing me. As far as I know , I am the only human to have ever laid hands on a M.I.B.—let alone live to tell his story—even if it was a semi-fictionalized one. As this is the “2 MILLION Reads” Special Edition of my experimental writing piece, I have taken the opportunity to further clean up, refin...

I advise extreme caution in approaching the rites contained in the Necronomicon. The book itself is highly dubious (the best Grimoires usually are); however, the potency expressed is unique for a decidedly modern Grimoire. Whatever the source of this, and while I could speculate in great depth, I won't, it is tangible and has lasting effects. You have been warned.  Passing the Gates  is a series of initiatory rites within the Necronomicon, a grimoire of highly dubious origins (the best grimoires usually are) supposedly chronicling the ancient Sumeria-Babylon rituals and arcanum. Contrary to widespread misunderstanding,  The Necronomicon  has little to do with Necromancy or consulting the human dead. Instead, it is a book of dead names. Names of the Elder Gods. Dead to human memory, mostly. Be wise if it were left unspoken. They could stir in their graves and cast attention on the speaker. I am unconvinced the Necronomicon survived the vast passage of time to be repri...

I have repeatedly heard that interest in the occult and the development of mediumistic talents often results from near-death experiences (NDE) and UFO-based abduction. Like many legitimate experiencers of high strangeness, this began for me when I was young and for the same reasons. I was either 11 or 12 when I was given a coven-only copy of the art of Necromancy (contacting the dead) employed by the Witches of Solvang, a witch cult operating in Solvang, California. Since then, I have been driven to pursue, document, and experience paranormal phenomena from the inside out.  The following is an example of that drive. I do not suggest anyone copy what little of my methodologies I share. The paranormal and the occult are  not  practices to take lightly. They have consequences, and those consequences can be dire. Take me seriously, or laugh, but you have been warned either way.  In the practices of spiritism and Necromancy, a thing or object through which a person's spir...

During the summer of 2018, I took a trip to the infamous Apache Death Cave in Two Guns, Arizona, for a paranormal investigation. My trip came from an e-mail correspondence I shared with another paranormal investigator. She read about the Apache Death Cave on a Reddit thread. She invited me to meet her in Arizona for an adventure. Unfortunately, she informed me she could not make it as I was driving in. I found myself pulling up alone to a cluster of small crumbling brick and mortar buildings late in the evening.   I was told the entrance to Apache Death Cave looked like a hole in the ground. It turned out to be an apt description because a hole in the ground is precisely what it is. I switched from sneakers to hiking boots, grabbed my backpack, and cautiously navigated down the sloop into the cave.  The history of the Apache Death Cave is sketchy, but some elements remain consistent. A band of Apache warriors attacked the Dene, stealing horses and murdering everyone excep...

Being a Southern California native, I can't help but have my curiosity piqued when I hear unusual stories about my home state. I ran across the "dog woman of Watts" while researching cryptid sightings in Los Angeles. I had not heard of the dog woman of Watts, but maybe my cousin, who lives in Watts, had. It turned out that she had not but said she would ask around. Her neighbor, Clifton (presently in his 70s), witnessed the dog woman of Watts. I asked my cousin if Clifton was open to talking about his sighting and, if so, to call me. Online resources concerning the dog woman of Watts are scarce. However, I summarized what I could find:  In 1961, in Watts, California, a neighborhood located in the southern region of the greater Los Angeles area, the Watts Police Department began receiving phone calls about a frightening creature roaming the streets. The first sightings of the animal occurred around 3 PM, and both sightings and phone calls would continue for the next 3 to 4...

3/22/24 Update: Written in 2017, my encounter with what I believe to be Men In Black or M.I.B has become my most popular and beloved work in my genre of American Horror and of what I term semi-fictionalized fiction. As a lifelong experiencer and abductee, I believe due in part to my top-tier clairvoyant and mediumship skills ( I am the ONLY psychic, medium and occult to have predicted EVERYTHING about COVID-19, the Border Crisis, the 2020 Election etc, starting in 2014 read all about it in my evidentiary proof claim HERE ), I have been involved, in part, some stages of my life more, other times less, with Psychism, Remote Viewing, the Occult and Intelligence, however whose Intelligence exactly, I still don't know, for over 40 years. This was not the first time I have been approached by strange, mostly human, entities, but it certainly stands out as among my most memorable. I thank everyone who has come forward and shared with me their own MIB experiences. I believe I have ...
