The Ouija board

One day in the summer of 1990, a group of young cryptologists working at a listening post for the National Security Agency in Augsburg, Germany were arguing about religion and psychic phenomena, so one of them bought a Ouija board and convinced his friends to play with it. Mind you, at this time, they were all happy with their jobs and had no beef with the U.S. government. One of them, Vance Davis, had read a book on Silva Mind Control when he was a teenager and had become adept at meditation. He was able to bring forth an alien-looking guide named Kia who allegedly was the commander of 5 ships belonging to aliens called the Alliance. She had sufficient power to heal a congenital problem with Vance's feet. He acquired additional psychic powers at that time, which he felt caused the military to advance him to the position under the 701st Military Intelligence Brigade. He had also had a very compelling dream as a young man that convinced him that he had some kind of special destiny. I'll write about the dream in Part 2.

According to the Six, a female entity named Safire, who claimed to be a woman who had lived in Georgia, came through with an agenda. She was a ghost, but was working with the good guys, the Alliance, who have been fighting with the Others for centuries. The Others are the aliens who abduct humans, who are deceptive and manipulative (Davis, 56). The six were told that aliens have been working with the U.S. government, but they also worked with the Sumerians, the Pharaohs of Egypt, and Hitler. 

The importance of this story is the connection between ghosts (Safire), aliens (Kia), and paranormal spirits. Maybe they're all the same thing. But that is the emphasis of my agenda. The four men and one woman who grew fascinated with the message of the Ouija were just young, talented truth seekers. They always prayed before they used the board, thinking that they could shield themselves from deception. But that's like driving 90 mph on a windy two-lane highway and thinking prayer will keep you safe. 

If Sgt. Annette Eccleston had any doubts about the board, they were swept away by the next character to come through, claiming to be Mary. At first, she addressed Annette as Martha, calling her sister. That would be Mary the sister of Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead. When asked who was Lord, Mary answered "Father God" rather than Jesus. That was a tell that they should have caught, but these six were trusting and naïve. A page later in Davis's book, Mary was messaging as if she were the Blessed Virgin. (Davis, 71) The two Marys were not the same person! (Demons can say Jesus is Lord if they have to, but they won't claim that "Jesus is MY Lord.")

Power to predict, power to deceive

The entity Timothy told them the Tribulation was near and they had been chosen to begin a spiritual awakening that would prepare mankind. Who could resist such an important task? Davis wrote, "Some of this was coinciding with dreams and visions that I had experienced since I was young; visions of the End Times, of civilization turned upside down, visions of suffering and fear...and visions of courage and hope. (Davis, 70) The pattern in this series is clear...spirits are demons who can impersonate Bible characters. They have power to heal or hurt, and can accurately predict the future. The Six were astonished and mesmerized by several accurate predictions of the future. 

Timothy told them that the U.S. government was going to fall in the next 10 years and would be replaced by the New World Order, something the six had never heard of but which was a favored meme of TV evangelist Pat Robertson, who wrote a book on it. If that prophecy were true, that would put the NWO takeover smack in the middle of President Clinton's Democrat administration, confirming another pattern, that spirits love Republicans and hate liberals. The fact that this and other major disastrous predictions did not take place may have something to do with Davis fading from public view after a 1992 and 1998 interview with radio personality Art Bell.

More dire prophecies kept the six enthralled...New York City destroyed by a small nuke, martial law declared, riots in the streets, crashed economy, suspension of civil liberties, wars in Europe and the Middle East, one world currency, etc. "The stage will be set for the grand entrance of the Antichrist." (Davis, 87) Unlike Ruth Montgomery's Antichrist, this one will come from Europe, was young and already moving in circles of power. In 1998, he would announce that he is the Messiah. He would be hailed as the Peacemaker by all, including the Pope.

One of the alarming predictions that helped the Six decide to go AWOL was that the Army would begin marking soldiers in 1995, so the spirits wanted them all out of Germany by then. Davis actually thought that there was a powerful anti-democratic cabal in the military that needed to be exposed. Perhaps this is how crazy conspiracy theories get started. 

The 6 took copious notes on these messages, totaling over 1500 pages. “Safire” told them to abandon their post and go hide out in the U.S. She assured them that all would be well in spite of the fact that desertion of a post in a time of war could result in a very long prison sentence. 

They asked if California would be a good place to settle, but Safire told them there would be an earthquake in 1996 that would be 14.6 (higher than the Richter scale). The Northridge earthquake in 1994 was rated 6.7. Safire was wrong. They were told they couldn't go to Seattle because there would be a major earthquake there that would signal the imminent eruption of Mt. Rainier. The major cities would all be under martial law after 1996. Oops, wrong again. Earthquakes on the east coast and in NYC. Weather changes, floods, disasters, and a great Shift...no, not the Earth tipping on its side, but the magnetic poles were going to shift.

Captured!

The group managed to land in Chattanooga, Tennessee in July, 1990. The exact date is disputable, but on July 9, one of them was stopped for a broken headlight. A check of Pfc. Michael Hueckstaedt’s I.D. indicated that he was wanted for desertion. The authorities arrested him and quickly found 4 of the 6 at the home of Anna Foster. (Heuckstaedt swears that he did not tell them where to find them.) It turned out that Spc. Kenneth Beason had known her when he was in training at Curtiss Station in Pensacola, and he was in love with her. She was a divorcee with a daughter who happened to be best friends with Laura, daughter of Ed and Frances Walters (another Gulf Breeze UFO story that you can read about here).

Anna had a roommate named Diana. When Vance Davis met her, he recognized her from a vision of his soul mate that he had had years before. They soon fell in love. The 6 had been told to leave town before Friday, pick up supplies in Texas, head for the mountain states to continue their spiritual advancement, and prepare for what was to come. Love caused them to linger. 

Anna and teenage daughter “Kathy” were put in handcuffs along with the men, but the local police talked the FBI into removing the handcuffs and letting them go. “Kathy” spent the night with the Walters.

Annette Eccleston was rounded up at her sister’s house, and all were spirited off to Ft. Benning. There they were kept in old, dusty cages in solitary confinement. They could not call anyone. They all felt that they were going to disappear and not be heard from again. They turned their copious notes over to the authorities and pleaded for the predictions to be given to the president. One important prediction was that in 1998 a false messiah would arise. The year was 3 times his number, 666. Another prediction was that Israel should not enter into the Gulf War or there would be terrible consequences. Israel did refrain from getting involved.

Meanwhile speculation created a media circus. There were tales that they came to murder the Antichrist, that they wanted to talk to Ed Walters, that they belonged to a cult called The End of the World, that they just wanted to see their families because they were tired of the military, that they came home because of messages from a Ouija Board. Some of it was true, some false, but what was actually true sounded so crazy that it was impossible to separate the rumors from facts. Davis assured Art Bell in 1998 that there was no End of the World cult, and they did not come to assassinate the Antichrist.

On July 23, 1990, a letter arrived at various media stations from an anonymous source claiming that if the 6 were not released that some extremely sensitive information would be released to the public. "Free the Gulf Breeze Six. We have the missing files, the box of 500+ UFO photos and the plans you want back." [My own private speculation about that material is that it had something to do with the planning for the beginning of the Gulf War and the fact that “Safire” confirmed that the U.S. was “in cahoots” with the aliens.]

Davis claimed that the tide turned for them due to family pressure and the fact that a CNN camera man climbed a security fence at Ft. Benning, Georgia and took pictures of them. Also, a Colonel in charge of The Army Times was told to not publish anything about the 6, but he did anyway. So on Aug. 7, the story was outed, and so was the blackmail letter.

Mysterious release

In the end, Senator Dole, George Bush, Sr., and the Joint Chiefs of Staff all agreed that the 6 should be released with a general discharge (Aaron Gulyar podcast). Some powerful personalities objected enough that the 6 were fully demoted and had pay deducted. Military and intelligence insiders were stunned that deserters with high clearances would be released like that. Their release is one of the ongoing mysteries associated with the story of the Gulf Breeze Six, but there was no evidence that any of them intended to pass classified information to inappropriate people.

Beason eventually married Anna Foster. Frances Walters married Anna’s ex-husband. By the time Davis published his book in 1995, he was married to Diane and had several kids, so his life wasn't entirely ruined. For Anna Foster Beeson, the affair was bitter sweet. "They destroyed my reputation," she wrote, "my daughter's mental state, and my trust in the American system of freedom and fair play." The plan of the Ouija entities for them all to go hide in the mountains didn't work out. They mostly went their separate ways and faded into obscurity. 

Why were demon spirits allowed to derail these vibrant young lives? In the case of Vance Davis, his Silva Mind Control meditations opened the door to the paranormal. Yes, it's exotic, subversive, almost irresistible, seemingly so useful, but in the end it ruins what was already good in a person's life. As for the other young adults, there is a lesson here about Ouija boards. Nothing good can come through them. They can quote Scripture, mimic Bible characters, appear as aliens or angels of light. 1 John 4:1-3:

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.  Biblegateway.com ESV

As with Jeane Dixon and her crystal ball, the Ouija entities made some startling hits with their predictions, which caused the Six to trust them, but as with all spirit communications, there were major misses as well.
