AWAKENING

Going back to the Canadian filmmakers, clearly
they really believed it so I didn’t question it, and
then one week later it happened to me. It was an
incident that literally changed my life and when
it happens to you, you go from intellectual interest in a subject to being confronted with the truth
of something, and that was the process I went
through.
Miriam: What was the incident?
Paul: There was a message that I have determined
to my mind certainly was from Forry after he died.
He was an editor, and he took one of my documents when I was alone in the house, and dropped
me a line, it was ink, a line of text. I knew the document had nothing strange about it, and while I was
out of the room for a few minutes he blacked out
four words with ink that was still moist. He blacked
it out in a way that was precise, definite, targeted.
You could see that those words were chosen. The
fact that it was still moist and even the ink … at
that time I didn’t know whether it was ink or paint
or solvent or dye, but you could see it was in different levels of blackness. You could read the first two
words still but the second two words were completely obliterated and I had to go back to my computer to the original file to see what it was.
We never imagined a
world with iPhones for
example that could do
all those things. It’s why

travagant predictions have actually become commonplace reality.
Paul: That’s absolutely true. Forry Ackerman and
his friend the very famous writer Ray Bradbury
were saying back in 1930s that man would get
to the moon in their lifetime and they were considered nuts, lunatics for actually believing that.
Sometimes the people who are into imagination
and science fiction, they’re looking into a future
they think could exist and they look for the reasons
that it could exist. How many things from Star Trek
have become true – how about those communicators?
We never imagined a world with iPhones for example that could do all those things. It’s why science fiction writer Richard Matheson when I interviewed him, he knew Forry and he agreed with my
conclusion that Forry was contacting me after he
died. He said, “Forry is correcting himself,” He had
determined that he was wrong about that it’s all
over like a light bulb going out when the body dies
and he’s letting you know.
Miriam: I have to admire your tenacity in getting
to the root of it, from spectrometry to laser desorption analyses done on the ink, and the scientists
are still puzzled. I also noted that the book starts
with a sworn and notarized affidavit that it’s all
true. It’s intriguing when we look back at science
fiction of the past 50 or 75 years, how many of the
things that were absolutely wild, over the top, ex-

He has let me know in so many ways I can scarcely
count them. In the book I deal with about 140 different incidents, most of them since 2008, that I do not
think can be explained. This is what makes the case
such a unique one. I did go to scientists right away,
like Dr. Jay Siegel, who is absolutely one of the top
forensic chemists in the country; or Dr. John Alison, who spent three years on the problem and has
been unable to duplicate or explain the many weird
