Pentagram of Blood #4 – That's So Ghostly

Los Angeles, California

Point Four

Los Angeles is known as the “City of Angels” due to its Spanish to English translation “The Angels”. It is also widely known for its many deaths and tragedies. Numerous people go to LA to discover themselves and turn their dreams into reality. That doesn’t happen for everyone, though, and seldom do dreams come true in the big city of Los Angeles. What is it, though, that attracts people here? A city where success seems occasionally achieved, and dark events gather over the metropolis like storm clouds. Could it be due to Los Angeles being the fourth point on the Penetragm of Blood, its location to the San Andreas Fault (SAF), or both?

Before we get into the relationship between LA and the SAF, it’s important to explore how Los Angeles connects to Miami, Florida. These two cities can be linked to each other by one simple thing: disasters. A concept that, learned in the prior post, results in the loss of not only personal properties but life as well. Normally in large quantities the further you go into their histories.

Although Miami, Florida has had its fair share of hurricanes, it cannot hold a candle to the number of earthquakes LA has to put up with daily. Earthquakes are ground-based occurrences positioned under the earth’s crust – where the ley lines of the PoB are located. Quakes that take place in a fluid-saturated porous medium can generate electromagnetic (EM) waves. Much like the energy given off by certain paranormal investigating equipment. One of the most notorious earthquakes to have taken place in a suburb situated about twenty miles from downtown LA is the Northridge earthquake on January 17, 1994.

Striking the San Fernando Valley in the early morning region of 4:30 AM on Martin Luther King Jr. Day (a federal holiday in the states), was the only thing keeping the death toll as low as it was. The Northridge earthquake was one of the costliest quakes to happen since the San Fransisco quake of 1906. The quake began along a previously undiscovered blind fault with a shock lasting for around ten to twenty seconds and registered at a 6.7 magnitude. The number of fatalities fell somewhere between sixty to seventy, most occurring in lower-level buildings with wooden frames or lower-level parking garages.

Earthquakes are natural disasters that cannot be tracked like hurricanes or tornadoes. They happen when people least expect it with only the reactions of some pets and wild animals beforehand. One minute life is calm and still, then the next the ground/floor is shaking under your feet. Episodes like these reap havoc on a human’s emotions and energies, so it’s important to keep this in mind for later on in the post.

One of the earliest recorded man-made disasters took place on March 12, 1928, when the St. Francis Dam collapsed. The dam was originally built to benefit Los Angeles as it turned into a megacity and acted as a storage reservoir for the Los Angeles Aqueduct. The St. Francis Dam

was created by chief engineer William Mulholland of the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Waterworks & Supply. Mulholland was a self-taught engineer who assisted in designing one other previous concrete gravity dam project (named the Mulholland Dam in his honor in 1923-1925). In all actuality, most of his expertise lies within the creation of embankment dams. Even though this was a whole different version of topography, Mulholland still deemed that a gravity dam would be the best structure for the canyon’s terrain.

During the construction of the dam, there was little to no regard for any specific safety investigations. While St. Francis Dam was being constructed, the original height was increased by about twenty feet at two different points in the building process at ten-foot increments. The base of the dam remained at its original measurements throughout construction because it was seen as too costly and time-consuming for the necessary changes to be made. When St. Francis Dam was completed it stood approximately two hundred five feet tall at the main structure and spanned around seven hundred feet at the curvilinear crest. That’s a whole lotta dam.

Without proper final inspection of the dam, all of the stress fractures and leaks went unnoticed. With the height of the dam being unequal to its base, and an increased risk for landslides, it created weakness on the foundation’s left side. Which subsequently caused the top of the dam to shift, thus resulting in the destabilization of the right side. On March 12-13, 1928 at midnight, the St. Francis Dam burst.

There were a couple of different results in the total death toll, but it was estimated somewhere between four hundred to six hundred people dead. The disaster area stretched from Santa Clarita to Montalvo which is around fifty-five miles away, then emptied into the Pacific Ocean. Leaving behind a trail of destruction that expanded two miles wide.

***It is also important to note that there was no form of evacuation ordered for the surrounding area – that I could find – while the dam was built or when the leaks were discovered.***

The Elizabeth Lake Tunnel (ELT), another project of Mulholland’s, is five miles long and traversed the San Andreas Fault at a depth of four hundred feet in 1910. The ELT delivers water from Owens Valley to LA. Its alignment is focused on developing a better understanding of fault displacement hazards at the SAF crossing to increase the earthquake resilience of LA’s water supply system. Considering the tunnel comes into direct contact with the fault, it could give way to the hidden power and effects given off from the ley lines that potentially reside within. On the other hand, the tunnel could act as a direct route into the earth and the ley lines that pass through. Maybe this is the path the souls take that are drawn to the line’s energy?

The San Andreas Fault is around twenty-eight million years old and dates back to the mid-Cenozoic Era. The SAF is a lateral transform fault between the Pacific Plate and North American Plate located in California. The fault spans around seven to eight hundred miles long and is about ten miles (52,800 feet *I Googled the miles to feet conversion*) deep. While there may be some cities that sit on the fault itself, the SAF doesn’t go through a specific city. It does, however, divide the state of California into two plates mentioned above. The Pacific Plate (Big Sur, LA, San Diego) and the North American Plate (Sierra Nevada, San Francisco, Sacramento).

Could it be possible, though, for tragedies and disasters to imprint themselves onto the rocks of the San Andreas Fault? What if the Stone Tape Theory plays a role in why Los Angeles is the fourth point on the Pentagram of Blood?

If this theory sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because it has been mentioned in various paranormal shows and books. The Stone Tape Theory (STT) is the idea that ghosts and hauntings are analogous to tape recordings. Electrical mental impressions released during emotional or traumatic events can somehow be ‘stored’ in stone and other materials, then ‘replayed’ under certain conditions. In theory, the STT could record every tragic earthquake, murder, or man-made disaster (i.e. St. Francis Dam and Northridge quake).

There are certain types of crystalline rock in the STT that absorb EM energy and reradiate it over extended periods. These types of rock include limestone, quartz, soapstone, marble, sandstone, basalt, and granite. The San Andreas Fault is made up of a sequence of shale, siltstone, sandstone, serpentine, granite, sheared phyllic siltstone, and bearing block-in-matrix rocks that are made up of deformed sequences. Two rocks that the SAF and STT have in common are sandstone and granite.

In the paranormal field, it’s said that a human’s emotions or energies are captured or recorded within the stone of a building. Instead of the stones of a building, what if people’s emotions and energies were captured into the rocks of the earth or the pavement under our feet? Could this be the fuel for the ancient ley lines of the Pentagram of Blood? Could the souls and other negative energies find their way into the fault line, therefore sustaining the PoBs power? Earthquakes, murders, and disasters will keep on happening in LA. Every piece of stone, crystalline rock, brick, and other materials will continue to soak up these events. Making the misfortunes in the City of Los Angeles never-ending.
