‘Grim Reaper’ spotted in footage of King Charles’ coronation
Who is the mystery figure in the doorway ? Image Credit: Westminster Abbey
A clip showing a dark hooded figure in Westminster Abbey has been generating some lively debate on social media.As millions of people from all around the world tuned in to view the historic crowning of King Charles III yesterday, some spotted someone altogether unexpected skulking in the background during one particular shot of the interior of Westminster Abbey.
The figure, who could be seen hurrying across a doorway from right to left, was wearing what looked like all-black garments and was carrying something reminiscent of a scythe.
Before long, ‘Grim Reaper at Westminster Abbey’ was trending on social media.
Of course, in all likelihood, the figure in question was probably just a robed participant of the proceedings who happened to be hidden in shadow as they walked across the doorway.
Even so, their unexpected appearance, accompanied by a particularly coincidental piece of music courtesy of the orchestra, made the sighting somewhat amusing to say the least.
Atomic Bomb Tourism
Between 1951 and 1992, there were a total of 928 announced nuclear tests at Nevada Test Site. Of those, 828 were underground. (Sixty-two of the underground tests included multiple, simultaneous nuclear detonations, adding 93 detonations and bringing the total number of NTS nuclear detonations to 1,021, of which 921 were underground.) The site is covered with subsidence craters from the testing. The Nevada Test Site was the primary testing location of American nuclear devices; 126 tests were conducted elsewhere (many at the Pacific Proving Grounds in the Marshall Islands).
During the 1950s, the mushroom clouds from these tests could be seen for almost 100 mi (160 km) in either direction, including the city of Las Vegas, where the tests became tourist attractions. Americans headed for Las Vegas to witness the distant mushroom clouds that could be seen from the downtown hotels.
Way-out Giorgio Tsoukalos
Giorgio A. Tsoukalos (born March 14, 1978) is a Swiss-born Greek-Austrian writer and television personality. He is a proponent of the idea that ancient alien astronauts interacted with ancient humans. He is the Chairman and co-founder of Legendary Times magazine, which features articles from Erich von Däniken, David Hatcher Childress, Peter Fiebag, Robert Bauval, and Luc Bürgin on the topic of ancient astronauts and related subject matter.
Tsoukalos is the director of Erich von Däniken’s Center for Ancient Astronaut Research (the A.A.S. R.A.—Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association), and has appeared on The Travel Channel, The History Channel, the Sci-Fi Channel, the National Geographic Channel, as well as Coast to Coast AM, and is a consulting producer of the television series Ancient Aliens.
Tsoukalos is a 1998 graduate of Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York, with a bachelor’s degree in sports information and communication. For several years in the early 2000s, before he made ancient astronaut research his primary career, he served as a bodybuilding promoter in IFBB sanctioned contests, including Mr. Olympia. He is fluent in English, Greek, German, French, Italian, Vulcan and Andromedian.
Tsoukalos is the host of the H2 series In Search of Aliens, which premiered on July 25, 2014
Giorgio and his cohort Erich von Daniken refer to themselves as Ancient Astronaut theorists. With a degree in sports communications I guess that isn’t that much of a leap. They base all their theories, and they try to make people believe these theories, on wishful thinking, conjecture, guesses and assumptions. They put forward absolutely no hard evidence whatsoever.
Yet people buy into this bunk allowing these guys to make hundreds of thousands of dollars from TV shows and books etc. People will believe anything at anytime.
Illogical and nonsensical arguments through and through.
Giorgio appeared on a show about the Loch Ness Monster. His theory was that Nessie was transported from an Alien world to the Scottish lake by an Alien time-travel machine. Okay.
Where will the transformation end?
Planting Time in Southern Manitoba
Spring is here and the crops are going into the ground. Great time of year. Farmers busy doing what they do.
Looks like a Robot insect. Actually it is an agricultural sprayer to control insects and crop diseases.
And then there is the Amish community in Manitoba.

As per every spring the Red and Assiniboine rivers in Winnipeg are swollen. Both rivers are about 10 feet above normal levels. It is a moderate to light flood level.

Unfortunately no Animal Rights organizations back in 1937. I’m sure the cats didn’t enjoy this very much.
