Mythical Maya Recording Device Reconstructed

The comedy works of Roger Marsh have returned to the Web with Fly On the Wall Web Theater. Now for the first time - current news events will be explored with this ancient device.

Roger uses a unique and all-natural listening device - the Universal Parlance Pick Up Osculater (UPPUO). Developed by the Maya civilization during the Preclassic period, the UPPUO was thought to be a myth until its rediscovery in the late 20th century from the bottom of an abandoned well on a rural farm in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Over more than 20 years, Roger worked to reconstruct the device and eventually returned it to perfect working order. The delicate tuning bar can be set to record dialogue at any point on the planet from any point in time for brief periods.

The device was set yesterday to listen in as Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich got the early morning news that two FBI agents were outside his Chicago home. This brief and historic - and all natural - recording can be read at InCahoots.TV.

Illinois Governor arrested in 'political corruption crime spree'

Sad day in Illinois

Unless you were sleeping under a rock Tuesday - you heard the news. Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested - among the charges - for attempting to sell President-elect Barack Obama's senate seat to the highest bidder.

The governor lives not far from my home (his Ravenswood Manor home above) and he is often seen. My daughter and I waved to him recently as our drive crossed paths with his jogging route.

With three former Illinois governors sent to prison - one would think this kind of behavior could not be tolerated in a state that is so much under the spotlight. Wouldn't it be easier to be corrupt in Montana or Wyoming? Apparently not.

InCahoots.TV and its PH Factor columnist Philip Haddad took a long look at this sad piece of political history today - including shooting video coverage of the governor's home this afternoon - a media frenzy; and some still photography from Laine Marsh.

Check out our coverage.

InCahoots.TV UFO Report: December 2008

UFOs have been a fascination of mine since I was a small boy listening to my parents describe their own sighting. Mom and Dad witnessed something in the mid 1950s from their apartment window late one night in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. I was fortunate enough to have my own sighting in 1973 at the age of 16 - with dozens of others around me. A low-flying UFO drifted silently at the tree top level of my neighborhood one night just after dark - cruising along the length of Seminary Drive in Greensburg - as we all stood watching in awe.

In the early 90s, I was the acquisitions editor on a pictorial coffee table book that covered ufology and I got to know many prominent ufo researchers around the country. For many years, I had known Pennsylvania ufologist Stan Gordon, and am proud to be co-producing Stan's new book - Strange Intrusions - about the incredible 1973-74 spike in both UFO and Bigfoot sightings in Pennsylvania. Look for the book in 2009; as well as a book I am working on now with the Mutual UFO Network's Pennsylvania Director John Ventre - about the increased UFO sighting in Pennsylvania summer 2008.

Please check out a feature I edited recently. With the increased UFO sightings in this country in 2008 and several known hot spots, I decided to see what was happening nationally in the first seven days of December with the help of the Mutual UFO Network's online database. You can click through here. And you might want to read about a very recent UFO report from Pennsylvania here from an interesting eyewitness account.

I hope to have more UFO reports in the coming months at InCahoots.TV.

American Ghost Hunters: Best Evidence 2008

Below is the story I posted recently at InCahoots.TV . Last week we appealed to about 80 ghost hunting groups in 23 states and have materials for our feature story and EBook coming in now from about 15 groups. Our research continues this week. Thanks to everyone who has agreed to send us a case - or has already contributed. We hope to hear from more groups soon.


CHICAGO - Roger Marsh has launched a national ghost hunter's "best evidence" search for 2008. The project is appealing to ghost hunting groups in all 50 states to contribute their best case from this year. Tremont Avenue Productions (TAP) is planning a round-up feature story and an EBook that will include video, EVP audio files and digital photos.

Each group is asked for the following basic information:

Official name of group, town/state, years in operation, number of members, investigation area, contact name/title, email address, phone number, Web address, mailing address, mission statement and equipment list.

Groups may choose to send in up to three cases from 2008. For each case, TAP asks for: Case name, case date, team members, case background, investigation details and investigation findings.

All materials will be used as a one-time use for this project. Each group retains all rights to their submitted materials. All editorial matter may be edited for style. Each group may see their final report prior to publication in the EBook.

Reports and digital materials should be emailed to TremontAvenue@gmail.com. If you have a large video file, please contact us to arrange an AIM session where we can move the video between us; or you may mail video content on DVD format to: Tremont Avenue Productions, 5739 N. Francisco, Chicago, IL 60659.

Roger will be the lead editor and project producer from Chicago. Acquisitions Director Philip Haddad, in Scottdale, PA, will follow-up with groups by telephone. Philip can be reached at 724-689-7116. Roger can be reached at TremontAvenue@gmail.com or at 773-715-5575.

Roger and Philip produced Ron Paul Speaks (Lyons Press) this year - a mass market paperback of quotes about Republican Presidential Candidate Ron Paul - who contributed the books' introduction. TAP launched the full-length independent film - Mars Attacks Mt. Pleasant - in June 2008 - starring Philip as lead actor Sam Steele and Roger was writer and director. The docudrama, Haunted R&R Station, was released on DVD March 2007.

Sacred Dialogue

After more than 40 years of experiencing the paranormal - the book is finally ready for release - Sacred Dialogue: Tuning Into Mother Nature's Universal Broadcast Band. This is a pre-release of the print version and is now available as a PDF download at www.InCahoots.TV. The print version will be available from Amazon sometime in late November or early December.

The book covers a wide spectrum of experiences - a child's perspective of the paranormal, dreams, a daily occurance I call Info Bursts, and visions of Sight and Sound. At some point in my life, I decided to begin experimenting with these experiences and I talk about this in Meditations and Interactions where I am somehow able to either program the events or directly receive feedback on specific requests. I also devote two chapters to Death and Dying - the first is a more innocent observation and the second is how I believe that death somehow announces itself if you're listening. Two chapters were written - Cemeteries, and a second called Haunted Houses - because I had extraordinary encounters in these two types of places where one would expect the paranormal might be revealed. I suggest extra caution when reading these sections for that reason - but still the events played out.

I had to also include two chapters - Beyond Physics and another called One-Hit Wonders - because some of my experiences just did not fit neatly into any of the above categories. These are generally stories that I would not believe myself if I had not be there to take it all in.

I open the book with Camelot Fades - relating some very odd early stories that I fought with through my childhood and teen years - but that came back to haunt me years later when the media jumped in on the paranormal bandwagon and I discovered that I was not alone.

Finally, I close the book with a piece on Listening to the Universe where I discuss exactly how I approach the paranormal - basically how it's done - and hope that my readers might follow along and listen in as well.

Most of the names and many of the locations were changed to protect those around me during many of the events. I had a habit very early on in my life of writing the events down as soon as they happened. And soon I accumulated a very large stack of papers that were eventually typed out during my college years, and later transferred to the computer. During these past three years, I have been sifting through the stories, pulling out a series of them for this book.

While a few of the stories have a national connection to them, most of the stories are more personal and involved only events in my own life or those around me. I hope my readers will be inspired to listen themselves. I am assuming I am not unique, and that the listening is something anyone can achieve.

The download is available for a small fee - and the paperback will be available at a higher price soon. I also hope to hear some feedback from readers too.

The chapter on Haunted Houses and some other pieces are available to read on the book's main page here http://incahoots.tv/products/sacreddialogue.htm.

The Smoking Lottery

It finally occured to me that I may never quit smoking, and that in fact, I may already have done myself in, already poisoned my lungs beyond repair. When I decided that I had about as much chance of quitting as winning the lottery - I decided it was time to turn the table.

I took today's cigarette money - well, part of it anyway - and spent two dollars on the Illinois State Lottery. One dollar straight and one dollar boxed for the number 014 for the evening pick- three game for October 26, 2008.

With cigarettes running about $7.75 a pack in my Chicago neighborhood, I am up $5.75 already by plunking down the two dollars on the lottery - and I still have a chance to improve my financial standing before the end of the day.

They choose lottery numbers here at 9:22 p.m. CST. I have invited several other people here in Illinois and in Pennsylvania to play along with me. Just two dollars a day. Today's number is 014, but it doesn't really matter if we win.

I feel better already.
