The Dark Stone

This all begins when I found a weird stone with images on it in a wood on the north bank of the River Humber close to where I live in Kingston Upon Hull. A friend took me there to find stones to look at while stoned. In fact the stone I found was the only decent stone we found there. I found the stone pressed into the mud and felt like I was being guided to find it: my body briefly taken over. When I found the stone I said "AH! Here's one." It didn't feel like me saying it. The words felt like they were being said by an actor. Here is the stone. It has a natural base.

Before I found the stone I had a dream about an image in the stone.

A couple of years later they built a submarium called THE DEEP on the north bank of the Humber in Hull a few miles from where I found the stone. Here is a picture.

As you can see it looks almost the same shape as my stone. The Deep was designed to look like a crystal emerging from the earth according to the designer. A stone. My stone is part quartz crystal. The Deep is basically a lot of fish tanks. What have fish got to do with a stone? When I found the stone one of the first images I saw in it was a shark. They have sharks at The Deep and a large statue of a shark by the entrance.

The Deep was built on a site where there used to be a citadel and where they had a prison (a couple of hundred years ago). A place of torment. No doubt torture happened there.

Here is a picture of the other side of the stone. Next to it is a statue of Neptune which sits a short walk from The Deep. Notice the similarities? Look at the regions of smooth and rough surfaces. They match. I have no idea how old the statue is or what Neptune or the deep has to do with the idea of the stone.

Here's where things get dark. Does the stone have any power? In 2009 I began to write about the stone for an internet forum. I wrote about how it looked like the deep submarium. I was writing until around one in the morning. Next day (April 6, 2009) I found out that someone had been murdered near The Deep. His name was Simon Ash. Ash? Suggestive of the process of alchemy? They caught the killers. He had been killed around the time I was writing my article on the stone and The Deep. After finishing the article I recalled looking down at my shoes and the thought "I need to buy new shoes." popped into my head. And I laughed. Which is odd for two reasons. I didn't need to buy new shoes and I had no idea why I was laughing. Turns out Simon Ash was found without shoes on. The killers had taken off his NEW shoes and tried them on. When they didn't fit they had tossed them in the river.

I was shocked. Weird stuff like this had been happening to me before but not this evil.

For some reason I KNEW that one of the killers would have my first name. It turned out that one of them had my first name as his middle name.

A month later I became interested in a pub in Hull called The Master's Bar. It had a nautical theme to its sign. The building has cartouche mouldings on it. I went to the library to research them. Turns out they are Egyptian magic.

Later that day a man was murdered after coming out of that pub. His name was Willihedo Patriminio. He just happened to be living on a street where I used to live. They caught the killer, a friend who had punched him during an argument.

Twice now I had been concentrating on a place and a murder had occurred.

A few days later I happened to become interested in another Hull pub. The Old White Hart(a male deer). I went to the library to research the symbology of deer. Just so happens that at the very time I was doing so a baby deer was being rescued from the river Hull. Just a short walk away from the pub and a short walk from The Deep.

Later that night a man was murdered by a mob as he was coming out of pub called The Reindeer. His name was David Jones. David Jones? What does that look like? Davey Jones? As in Davey Jones' Locker? a term for the sea. The Deep. A recall to the first death.

That's when I recalled a dream I had had a year before. I had dreamt about the first and last killings. But I had dreamt about the death of David Jones being killed at the location of Simon Ash. Which was clever of my dreaming mind.

Other stuff happened like this and continues to. I could fill a book with the stuff that has happened.

Is it down to the stone? I don't know. Sometimes I think I should just smash the stone to bits.

The stone has a lot of images in it. One is of a red haired bearded man who seems to be on fire. He looks like me. The biggest image is of a white face with an eye socket. I looked at that eye socket for weeks, searching for an eye. Then one day it was there! As if it had just appeared.

There is a clear shape on the stone that looks like the letters G and M. The letter G is the 7th letter in the alphabet and the M is the 13th. So GM stands for 713.

Years after realising this I saw the first Harry Potter film THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE. In the film the stone is kept in a vault...number 713 to be exact. The number of my stone. This number is oddly reminiscent of the year I was born, 1973. The stone in the film is the same size and shape as mine and is part crystal and part rock, like mine. My stone has a region of striped colours that match the four colours of the Alchemical process...but in the wrong order.

Is it a kind of evil Philosopher's stone?

It all has something to do with water. Neptune. The sea. The deep.

My surname sounds exactly like the Latin word 'altus'. Most people know it means 'high'. It also means 'deep.'
