Pinebox Paranormal Reporter
The oldest man in Pinebox Texas died today when he failed to look both ways before crossing the street and got hit by a speeding car as was witnessed by Jane Neren. “He just started walking into the street. We yelled for him to stop, but it was too late.”
Talking to neighbors and family it seemed that Joseph Johnson, 102 years old, had many childhood clichés haunt him before his death on 13th street.
He tied a string around his finger so he would not forget something, but the string was too tight and cut off the circulation and his finger fell off. He couldn’t remember what it was he was supposed to do.
Mr. Johnson was trying to impress his grandchildren when crossing his eyes and they actually stayed that way as well as the funny face he was making at the same time.
Funeral services are next Saturday at 1:00 pm at the Barington Funeral Home.

Wellington Auditorium had a standing-room only crowd on Monday afternoon for ETU’s student organization presentation of Dr. Eric Von Brunt of the World UFO Organization (WUFOO). Attendees were treated to a lecture by Dr. Von Brunt, including a video presentation, and a lively question and answer period. While scheduled to last 90 minutes, many students remained seated after three hours had passed.
As director of WUFOO (pronounced woo-foo) for sixteen years, Dr. Von Brunt has extensive experience with so-called unidentified flying objects. WUFOO and other organizations like it have collected thousands of first-hand accounts from all around the world.
“The truth is that there are a lot of people who believe in UFOs,” Dr. Von Brunt said during the introduction of his presentation. “There are also a lot of people who have had witnessed a UFO or had an even closer encounter with one. In fact, Pinebox is considered a UFO hot spot.”
While speaking of Pinebox and ETU, Dr. Von Brunt used the opportunity to announce that WUFOO would hold its next annual conference at ETU in July of 2010. The conference is open to the public and Von Brunt encouraged those students still at ETU to attend.
One of Dr. Von Brunt’s goals is to make the study of UFOs more respectable. “I know how we are perceived. You know, we’re the crazy guys who keep saying there are little green men out there. But the study of UFOs is serious and what people have had done to them by aliens is no joke. There’s nothing funny about anal probes.”

Recently the world was amazed by reports out of England regarding dogs that glow in the dark. But a report issued by the East Texas University (ETU) Physics Department claims they are less than impressed. Why is this? ETU claims to have dog that can teleport over short distances.
Physics graduate student Parker Collins claims to have witnessed this phenomenon with a golden retriever, named Blinkie. Collins states when Blinkie gets overly stimulated instead of running to an object or person of interest, she simply pops from one place to the other. Mister Collins elaborated that pop is the best turn to describe this, as there is an audible popping noise when Blinkie makes this quick moves.
No one in the ETU Physics Department has been able to determine why Blinkie is able to teleport. No video images of Blinkie popping have been made available either as of this date. When asked to see Blinkie’s papers, these were not available. Parker Collins states that Blinkie wandered onto campus one day. She teleported on that occasion when a student rattled a box of dog biscuits. From that point on the dog became the mascot of the Physics Departments.
