il；　often　the　very　next　day；　written　in　block　letters。　Some　of　these　replies　covered　several　pages。　Third；　I　was　sometimes　able　to　speak　to　the　entities　by　telephone！　A　contactee　would　call　me　and　inform　me　that　an　entity　was　present　in　his　or　her　house　and　wished　to　speak　to　me。　Sometimes　I　just　asked　questions　and　the　alleged　entity　whispered　the　answer　to　the　contactee　who　relayed　it　to　me。　Sometimes　a　strange　voice　would　e　on　the　line　and　speak　to　me　directly。　In　some；　if　not　all；　of　these　instances　the　contactee　probably　entered　a　trance　state　and　the　voice　came　from　their　own　vocal　chords　just　as　〃spirits〃　speak　through　mediums　at　seances。
　　
　　As　soon　as　I　entered　this　munication　phase　my　problems　with　the　mails　and　telephone　intensified。　Important　letters　of　a　non…UFO　nature　went　astray　。。。　or　arrived　days　late　and　had　obviously　been　opened　by　someone　en　route。　My　telephone　rang　at　all　hours　of　the　day　and　night　with　beeping　calls；　eerie　electronic　sounds；　and；　most　interesting　of　all；　frantic　calls　from　people　who　were　superb　actors　and　who　described　UFO　incidents　containing　those　secret　details　in　cases　I　was　working　on；　but　when　I　tried　to　check　out　these　people　I　found　the　addresses　they　had　given　me　were　nonexistent　and　the　phone　numbers　they　gave　were　false。
　　
　　Someone　somewhere　was　just　trying　to　prove　that　they　knew　every　move　I　was　making；　listened　to　all　my　phone　calls；　and　could　even　control　my　mail！　And　they　were　succeeding。
　　
　　II
　　
　　On　July　20；　1967；　the　Vatican　announced　that　the　pope　was　planning　a　trip　to　Turkey。　He　would　be　flying　to　Istanbul　where　he　would　be　greeted　by　a　huge　mob　at　the　airport。　Several　of　my　contactees　had　been　gravely　concerned　with　the　prediction　of　the　pope's　impending　death　and　the　three　days　of　darkness　that　would　follow。　The　accuracy　of　earlier　predictions　led　me　to　take　this　one　seriously。　Very　seriously。
　　
　　The　assassination　was　supposed　to　take　place　on　July　26。　It　would　be　preceded　by　a　violent　earthquake。
　　
　　On　July　22　more　than　one　thousand　people　were　killed　in　an　earthquake　in　Adapazari；　Turkey；　one　hundred　miles　southeast　of　Istanbul。　The　news　really　shook　me　up。　The　whole　prophesied　scenario　was　being　carried　out　to　the　letter！
　　
　　The　night　before　the　quake；　there　were　a　rash　of　telephone　hoaxes　throughout　the　Northeast。　These　calls　consisted　of　two　people　talking　indistinctly　for　the　most　part；　but　certain　names　were　clearly　audible。　Ivan　Sanderson　received　such　a　call　on　his　unlisted　phone　in　the　mountains　of　New　Jersey　at　midnight。　My　call　came　through　at　11：40。　A　UFO　buff　on　Long　Island　received　one　at　1　A。M。　He　heard；　〃Hang　up；　John　。。。　and　I'll　turn　off　the　recorder。〃　On　my　call　the　name　〃Jim〃　was　used。
　　
　　These　calls　were　part　of　a　broader　nationwide　pattern　which　had　successfully　disrupted；　even　destroyed；　many　local　UFO　groups。　The　receiver　heard　the　name　of　a　fellow　UFO　enthusiast　and　regarded　it　as　proof　that　the　other　person　was　responsible　for　all　the　hoax　calls　he　or　she　was　receiving。　The　very　same　ploy　was　used　against　the　civilians　quietly　investigating　the　Kennedy　assassination！　Penn　Jones；　a　Texas　newspaper　editor　who　has　been　investigating　the　death　of　JFK　for　years；　received　similar　calls；　including　the　playing　of　a　tape　of　his　phone　conversations　with　other　investigators　。。。　proof　positive　that　his　phone　was　being　tapped　by　someone　and　they　wanted　him　to　know　it。　This　playback　of　taped　conversations　also　happened　on　my　phone。　The　object　of　such　gimmicks　is　clearly　to　incite　paranoia。　Since　many　of　the　UFO　enthusiasts　are　very　unstable　to　begin　with；　the　device　has　been　very　effective。
　　
　　I　was　now　receiving　many　messages　phrased　in　biblical　terms。　Some　came　from　unknown　elderly　ladies　who　phoned　me　late　at　night　claiming　to　be　from　Western　Union。　Then　they　would　read　long　Bible　quotations　that　were　supposedly　telegrams。　But　Western　Union　disavowed　any　knowledge　of　these　messages。　I　had　hooked　up　a　tape　recorder　to　my　own　phone　so　I　could　keep　track　of　all　these　things。
　　
　　〃If　it　is　the　days　of　darkness；〃　said　a　message　received　on　July　23；　〃behold　there　will　be　voices；　thunder　and　earthquakes　and　disturbances　upon　the　earth。　And　at　their　cry　all　nations　shall　fight　one　against　the　other。　And　fear　shall　fall　upon　the　earth　and　the　sky　shall　be　darkened　except　for　the　illuminating　round　lights　that　will　be　the　only　sparks　of　light。　And　rain　shall　e　at　the　end　of　the　happening。
　　
　　〃John：　Do　not　trouble　yourself　over　trivial　matters　such　as　strange　calls。　We're　in　greater　danger　than　you　can　imagine。　Not　only　is　your　world　involved；　but　many　others　too。〃
　　
　　I　am　an　amateur　herpetologist　and　once　kept　three…fanged　cobras　in　my　New　York　apartment　。。。　until　my　concerned　neighbors　squealed　to　the　Board　of　Health。　Some　of　the　descriptions　of　the　entities　impressed　me　as　resembling　some　kind　of　reptile　rather　than　human　mammals。　I　didn't　mention　this　reptile　notion　to　anyone。　But　on　July　24；　Lia　visited　Jane　and　refused　to　talk　about　anything　but　eggs。　She　took　some　eggs　from　Jane's　refrigerator　and　sucked　out　the　contents　like　a　reptile！　Jane　was　perplexed　by　this　exhibition　and　called　me　soon　afterward。
　　
　　That　evening　I　received　a　phone　call　from　Harold　Salkin；　a　Washington；　D。C。；　UFO　researcher。　He　wanted　to　tell　me　that　people　all　over　Washington　had　been　receiving　strange　phone　calls　during　the　past　week。　We　had　a　perfect　connection　until　I　started　to　ask　him　if　he　had　heard　any　rumors　about　Pope　Paul。　We　were　instantly　drowned　out　by　heavy　static。　As　soon　as　I　changed　the　subject；　the　static　went　away。　Later　in　the　conversation　I　tried　again。　The　moment　I　named　the　pope　the　static　resumed。　When　I　again　dropped　the　subject；　the　line　cleared　instantly。
　　
　　Now　they　were　even　controlling　my　phone　conversations！
　　
　　Convinced　that　Pope　Paul　was　about　to　be　knifed　to　death　at　the　Istanbul　airport；　I　rented　a　car；　loaded　it　with　flashlights；　candles；　food；　and　bottled　water；　and　drove　out　to　the　Mount　Misery　area　to　await　the　blackout。　On　the　way　I　stopped　to　see　one　of　my　contactees　and　he　informed　me　that　a　spaceman　had　just　been　to　see　him　and　had　left　a　silly　message。
　　
　　〃Tell　John　we'll　meet　with　him　later　and　help　him　drink　all　that　water。〃
　　
　　The　contactee　had　no　idea　that　I　had　several　quarts　of　spring　water　in　the　trunk　of　the　car。
　　
　　Near　Mount　Misery　I　picked　out　a　motel　at　random　（I　thought）。　The　motel　clerk　asked　to　see　my　identification　（very　unusual）。
　　
　　〃We've　got　a　lot　of　messages　here　for　you；　Mr。　Keel；〃　she　said；　pulling　out　a　sheaf　of　message　slips。　I　started　to　protest　since　I　had　not　even　known　I　was　going　to　stay　at　that　motel　until　minutes　before。　The　messages　were　all　nonsensical；　meant　only　to　prove　once　more　that　my　movements　were　being　anticipated。
　　
　　The　pope　landed　in　Istanbul　safely。　There　was　no　three…day　blackout。　The　whole　episode　served　no　purpose　other　than　to　demonstrate　to　me　how　and　why　so　many　contactees　and　prophets　go　and　sit　on　hilltops　to　await　the　end　of　the　world。
　　
　　Three　years　later；　on　November　27；　1970；　Pope　Paul　VI　arrived　at　the　Manila　International　Airport　in　the　Philippines　and　the　scene　described　to　me　in　1967　suddenly　became　a　reality。　A　man　dressed　in　the　black　garments　of　a　priest　came　out　of　the　crowd　and　sprang　at　the　pope　with　a　long　black　knife　in　his　hands。　Fortunately；　security　guards　wrestled　him　to　the　ground　and　the　pontiff　was　unhurt。　The　would…be　assassin　was　a　Bolivian　painter　named　Benjamin　Mendoza　who　allegedly　practiced　black　magic　and　witchcraft。　Witnesses　said　that　he　had　glassy　eyes　and　seemed　to　be　in　some　kind　of　trance　during　the　attack。
　　
　　The　entities　had　correctly　described　the　general　circumstances　of　the　attempt；　but　their　dates　were　all　wrong；　and　it　took　place　in　the　Far　East　rather　than　the　Middle　East。
　　
　　（In　January　1968；　I　received　a　phone　call　informing　me　that　the　Reverend　Martin　Luther　King　would　be　murdered　on　February　4。　He　would　be　shot　in　the　throat；　I　was　told；　while　standing　on　a　balcony　in　Memphis。　I　took　the　prediction　seriously　and　spent　some　frantic　hours　trying　to　contact　King　by　phone　to　warn　him。　I　never　got　through。　He　was　not　assassinated　on　February　4；　but　on　April　4；　exactly　as　described　to　me　four　months　earlier。）

　　August　3；　1967。　Jaye　P。　Pare　was　awakened　at　3　A。M。　by　the　sound　of　a　baby　crying。　There　were　no　babies　in　her　house。　She　got　out　of　bed　and　searched　for　the　source　of　the　sound　without　success。
　　
　　Reports　of　telephone　hoaxes；　beeping　and　electronic　sounds；　tapes　being　played　back；　etc。；　reached　me　from　as　far　away　as　Seattle；　Washington。　Flying　saucer　enthusiasts　from　coast　to　coast　were　suddenly　having　identical　problems。　Obviously　this　was　not　the　work　of　a　few　random　pranksters。　It　was　more　like　a　well…organized；　well…financed　campaign。　On　the　night　of　July　21　between　the　hours　of　10　P。M。　and　1　A。M。　hoax　calls　were　received　in　Florida；　Illinois；　Michigan；　Ohio；　Massachusetts；　California；　New　Jersey；　Pennsylvania；　Washington；　and　probably　many　other　places　that　I　never　learned　about。　Unlisted　phones　were　no　protection。　Were　these　call
