TL/DR: We’ll itemize and trace the “witchy” references found in a 90’s TV series.

The show—technically speaking—has only a single tenuous connection to the Clancy and Morley cases. Except for one thing: when you understand all the associations and the full context, it sure looks like Clancy, Morley, and the TV show are all Salem Witch productions. Alternatively, it’s all just one big coincidence.

Nowhere Man (American TV series) is a mystery science fiction thriller that aired from August 1995 to May 1996. Ive forgotten the details but I believe I stumbled across a tip (probably on r/conspiracy) saying something like, “They really tip Their hand on that show!” You know how it is. Anyway, I finally got around to it.

Despite critical acclaim, including TV Guide's label of "This season's coolest hit," the show was cancelled after one season.

Oh, see?! Proof that They revealed too much and it was shut down! Except that I do not at all agree. I think it was shut down because the main character—who is about 98% of the show—is totally unsympathetic.

Nowhere Man is the story of photojournalist Thomas Veil, who discovers that his life has been abruptly "erased"…. In the course of a single evening, every trace of Tom's identity is gone.

He’s the Everyman who finds himself in an extraordinary and baffling situation, and you identify with and root for him as he bit-by-bit attempts to unravel the mystery. Great setup, but no. Tom is annoyed and annoying. He comes off like he’s always on the verge of asking to speak with the manager because he’s put up with a lot already and the staff knows that and should do better.

(BTW, watch the outstanding film Memento from 2000 for the opposite of this.)

Frankly, I had no thought going into it that the Salem Witches were involved in Nowhere Man. It ran only one long season of 25 episodes. About halfway through, it occurred to me that a goodly amount of the character names were Salem Witch names. I let it go as mere happenstance.

Contrary to what you may imagine, I don’t go scraping around for this stuff. I’ve got enough of a backlog already. Halfway through the run, I even let a real big red flag go. I’ll save that for the bonus because there’s a point I wish to illustrate with it.

In Episode 16, “Shine a Light on You”, I finally could not ignore the presence of the Witches. The plot involves a UFO appearing in a tiny fictional town that Veil is passing through. The resident flying saucer buff is named “Bud Atkins”.

That is clearly a reference to prominent Ufologist Budd Hopkins (1931-2011). His full name was Elliot Budd Hopkins and he was most certainly a Salem Witch. Interesting trivia: Budd saw his first UFO in Truro, MA. Duxbury is due east across the mouth of Cape Cod Bay, but it’s about 30 miles so bring your binoculars.

Similar to the films covered in the last post on Devonsville and the one before on Crimson Altar, you can only see the faint echoes of an answer you already know.

The organization against which Veil struggles is unnamed, pervasive, compartmentalized, ruthless, possesses unlimited assets, has infiltrated numerous organizations, leverages how the human mind actually works, and (for almost the entire show) pursues goals that their assets neither understand nor feel they need to understand. All of this seemed quite familiar to me, regrettably.

I do not conclude they were sending any message about themselves. They were only drawing from a context they had some knowledge of or—more probably—simply utilized elements injected externally from higher up the compartmented structure.

For example, none of the numerous Salem Witch names have any pattern or meaning, so far as I can tell. If I’m wrong about that, who could be receiving any message encoded therein? If you, personally, wish to learn about the history, structure, and operations of the Salem Witches, then study the Salem Witches. Don’t watch some dumb old TV show, for Christ’s sake. Again, more on this in the bonus.

So what was that tenuous connection I mentioned at the top? The show takes place in a different locale every episode, sometimes in real cities like DC or Milwaukee, and sometimes in small towns for which phony names are used.

That UFO episode takes place in Rockville, Colorado, which does not exist. Partway into it, a guy who gives Tom Veil a lift says that he has to go drop some stuff off in “Morley”. Can you believe it? There is indeed a tiny town called Morley but it’s in Michigan, not Colorado.

Oddly enough, I was watching this 30-year-old show as I was doing all the research for these Clancy/Morley posts. That really was a coincidence. Trust me, it’s not like I don’t believe coincidences exist.

I did have my radar on, as always, and that’s when I noticed the names. But I also noted the series was created by Lawrence Hertzog (1951-2008), which I am fairly certain is Hebraic name and not Salem Witch. There was just not much to go on—until that “Morley” line dropped and I knew I would eventually be writing what you’re reading. Then the research began.

[Herzog] is best known for creating the cult series Nowhere Man, which aired for one season during 1995–1996 on UPN.

If you look at his IMDb page, I would be surprised if you’d ever heard of any of his other credits. And not even Nowhere Man, until now, so this show was an unusual landmark.

In addition to continuing work in the entertainment industry, Hertzog also hosted a podcast entitled Drinks with Larry and Lauren in Los Angeles, featuring himself and his former assistant Lauren Proctor.

Boldface mine, of course, and there you have it: the vector. Do you really have any doubts this was a Salem Witch production?

The next subject to examine was at the main character, “Thomas Veil”, who is in nearly every scene. He was played by Canadian actor and producer Bruce Greenwood (b1956). No, Greenwood isn’t a Witch name but we do have some intriguing items to discuss.

Bruce has a long filmography. Leaving judgment out of it and going by some sort of technical mark, the most prominent among several awards he has won was his Gemini Award for Best Guest Performance in a Regular Series by an Actor.

That performance was in a Canadian series, Road to Avonlea (1990-1996), specifically the episode “Stranger in the Night” first aired 2/13/1994.

That puts it a year-and-a-half before Nowhere Man. What am I suggesting? That Avonlea was another Witch production, and that Greenwood was noticed there and tapped for the later project.

What’s the evidence for Avonlea? Not to get into the whole thing, but it follows the adventures of young Sara Stanley, and second billing goes to Jacqueline Burroughs as the mean schoolteacher, Henrietta King.

More conclusive is this: the series was created by (are you ready?) Kevin Sullivan (b1955). It really got absurd with all those Sullivans in the Clancy case, didn’t it?

Further, Kevin’s wife, President of Sullivan Entertainment International and COO of the Sullivan Entertainment Group, is Trudy Grant. We are told she has been “part of the establishment of the Canadian entertainment industry for nearly thirty years” and “has won numerous awards for her work in television and film” . Of course she has.

The most prominent of those many awards is her Peabody, an award for media equivalent to what a Pulitzer Prize is for journalism. You will not be surprised to learn it is named after George Foster Peabody.

Fun tangent: The Giles and Martha Corey Memorial, still selling us the narrative over three centuries later that these two “witches” were “executed” during the Salem Witch Trials, is located in Peabody, Massachusetts. The town was formerly part of Salem itself. It is named after another George Peabody, who is considered the father of modern philanthropy.

Another role for which Greenwood is known was in Capote, the 2005 biopic about Great American Novelist Truman Capote (1924-1984). Greenwood plays Capote’s lover, Jack Dunphy (1914-1992).

Was Capote a Salem Witch also? I can tell you he was born Truman Streckfus Persons. What do you think the chances are his real birth name was Parsons? We saw just in this mini-series that Amber Heard is the daughter of a Parsons.

Do you know where Capote died? It was at the home of his friend, Joanne Carson (1931-2015). And you guessed it, she was the second wife of Johnny Carson, who we were just discussing in the Devonsville post. Imagine that.

Nor was Jack just some guy from Capote’s past. We aren’t here to gossip or settle the issue, but you can read up on how Jack and Joanne were feuding over his very ashes. Anyway, a Capote post will come one of these days.

In 1985, Greenwood married a woman named Susan Devlin. Not a Salem Witch name as far as I’m aware, but I must tell you what I came across. You see, in 2014 a woman named Martina Devlin published a book titled, The House Where it Happened.

It’s historical fiction, based on events in 1711 known as the “Islandmagee witch trials”. These are believed to be the last witch trials to take place in Ireland. Back to witches in Ireland, whodathunk? Eight women were tried, one of them named (ready?) Janet Carson. You cannot make this shit up.

There is one more prominent role of Greenwood’s that we need to discuss, and surprisingly (or maybe not) it turns out to be the segue to the event that has pushed the Lindsay Clancy circus to the side: the failed execution of Christa Pike. Do you already see the connection? Good for you. A post is coming on it.

Bonus: Are we to associate the name of the series with the famous Beatles song, Nowhere Man (song)? It is nowhere in the show, not played or referenced or alluded to. However, The Beatles was a (UK-equivalent-of) Salem Witch project. Another post for another day.

The question stands: is it just a cool title for a show about a guy whose life has vanished? Perhaps, but I should mention two things:

• The mother of John Lennon was born Julia Stanley.

• One of the two judges at the Islandmagee witch trials was James Macartney (1651-1727).

Controversial bonus: Isaac Weishaupt does a ton of media analysis such as we have done in this and the last two posts. If you’re a fan of his, you aren’t going to like what I have to say. Punch out now.

His “analysis” gets loonier each time he posts. The problem is not just that it’s ridiculous and useless, it’s that such material functions as a form of disinformation. His followers think it all means something. None of them will ever ever ever get anywhere near any of the things we discuss. He believes he’s censored but I can guarantee you he’s silently supported by You Know Who. They certainly aren’t stupid enough to miss that trick.

What he does is no more than pattern recognition, which he then forces into desired conclusions. I would now like to attempt to out-do him at his own lame and foolish game. You see, I consider the height of his outlandish and absurd efforts to be his “Grey Lodge” search-for-the-Truth/grift.

This is a 55 (yes, fifty-five) episode podcast series analyzing the entire run of Twin Peaks. Oh man, is he impressed with his own work! I feel like he’s a guy sliding away from sanity but—again—no one seems to notice.

Anyway, in that very same UFO episode I mentioned, Tom Veil accidentally leaves behind a clue for those pursuing him. It’s a matchbook from the hotel at which he’s staying, zoomed in so we can see the name: “The Ben-Stark Hotel”. Well, the name rang the faintest of bells so I googled it and one of the first results was:

it's just me or Benjen Stark (from Game of Thrones) looks incredibly similar to a younger BOB? (r/teinpeaks 7/1/2025)

I just started a re-watch of GoT and the similarity is uncanny, isn't it? is it just me?

This got 238 upvotes from Twin Peaks dorks so I’ll accept their judgment. If you’re not familiar with “Bob”, he’s the final boss of the whole series:

Bob is an interdimensional entity from the Black Lodge, a realm which exists on an alternate plane of reality. While "possessing" humans, he commits horrible crimes to elicit pain, fear, and suffering in those around him.

There it is, ladies and germs, I cracked the code and tied together a three-decade-old series wiped from broadcast, another profoundly occult series by one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in cinema history, the hottest media franchise of the last 15 years, and loosh being harvested by the interdimensional Devil. Are you not entertained? Brooooo!

Except I’ll be the first to say it’s all bullshit, mere pattern recognition without investigation for relationship. Totally dumb. You know what I did notice and do think is meaningful? The matchbook cover clearly shows the Ben-Stark Hotel is located in “Salem, Ca.” Checkmate.

This finishes up the Clancy and Morley mini-series, although we’re sure to keep having the mainstream controversy pumped down our throats for a while. Thanks very much for reading!

They will all get their $5K in pocket after the election by voting red. Then turn around with the "My Vote Was Bought" election interference recall across the country. (morning chatter overheard)

It will go to court and activist judges will allow the recall. They don't realize that the constitution prevents recalls for congressional seats.

"Any attempt by a state to recall a member of Congress is prohibited by the Federal Constitution. A vacancy in the office of U.S. senator or representative can be created only by the incumbent's death or resignation, the expiration of his term, or some direct action of the body (the Senate or the House of Representatives) which is empowered to expel members (Burton v. U.S. 202 US 344, at 369). There is no constitutional authority to hold a special election that would be required to fill a seat in the event a member was recalled. Article I, section 4 of the Federal Constitution relating to the time for holding a regular election and Article XVII of the Amendments on holding a special election only when a vacancy exists combine to preclude an election to replace a member of Congress who had been recalled. Federal constitutional provisions supersede any state recall procedures for these offices.

The details of the argument are included in the attached Brief on the Constitutionality of the Recall of United States Senators and Representatives In Congress, prepared by Hon. Walter F. George, Chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections, United States Senate, on May 18, 1935."

TL/DR: We’ll itemize and trace the “witchy” references found in a 80’s horror movie. Even I was surprised where this ended up.

Let’s dice up a couple of excerpts from Wikipedia:

The Devonsville Terror is a 1983 American supernatural horror film directed by Ulli Lommel and starring Suzanna Love, Donald Pleasence, and Robert Walker. The plot focuses on three different women who arrive in a conservative New England town, one of whom is the reincarnation of a witch who was wrongfully executed along with two others (Morrigan Hurt and Barbara Cihlar) by the town's founding fathers in 1683.

On November 7, 1683 in Devonsville, Massachusetts, three women—Jessica Morley, Mary Pratt, and Rebecca Carson—are kidnapped by the townsfolk based on accusations of witchcraft.

Inspired by the Salem Witch Trials….

Wikipedia gave away the game the right there. Also, you already see a Morley and a Pratt stuffed in as character names. Need I say more? I will, because there is much just under the surface of that text alone.

Are we to accept that yet another legendary actor, Donald Pleasence (1919-1995), is some sort of Salem Witch placed into this Salem Witch vehicle? Why don’t I lay it out and you can decide.

Donald’s father was Thomas Stanley Pleasence. There are lots of people named Stan, though, right? We might suspect that Donald’s wife was his handler, guiding him into his career. His first wife (m. 1941; div. 1958) was named Miriam Walker. A Salem Witch name but not very distinctive, yes?

Did you notice that the film also stars Robert Walker Jr. (1940-2019). His parents were Robert Walker Sr. and Jennifer Jones. Again, common names but what are the chances of all this?

Perhaps you recall Donald from his role in the first five Halloween movies as the maniacal Dr. Samuel Loomis. Memorable, to be sure, but I consider his most iconic role to be Ernst Stavro Blofeld in the 1967 film You Only Live Twice.

Yes, that’s right, another Bond supervillain! It is from Blofeld that we get the meme of an evil genius in a futuristic suit stroking a kitty cat in his lap. Mike Myers was referencing him as Dr. Evil in Austin Powers.

Oddly, I’ve talked a lot about Myles Standish of Duxbury in this miniseries, and I’ve long thought of him as a real-life Bond supervillain. Rich, brilliant, remorseless, carrying out audacious schemes. The difference, of course, is that he didn’t wear weird getups and go around announcing his plans. If you think you identified Klaus Schwab as the supervillain, well, that’s exactly what They want you to think.

The film was written, produced, and directed by some German weirdo named Ulli Lommel (1944-2017). Co-writer and the star of the movie was his first wife (m. 1978; div. 1987), Suzanna Love (b1950). Unpromising names but, again, we have to look under the surface.

Suzanna’s mother was Marie Felicité Pratt. That one is an unmistakable hit. Suzanna’s full name is Suzanna Potter Love, and her father was Kennett Farrar Potter Love (1924-2013).

Suzanna’s Pratts are admitted to be the Standard Oil Pratts and thus the Salem Witch Pratts. However, to be precise on the spellings, there was a Thomas Farrer and a Robert Pottor Sr. at the Salem Witch Trials, so maybe you want to rule those names out on a technicality. Seems quite insane at this point but you’re free to do so.

Now, they tell you that Ulli was born in what is now Poland, but I think that throws you off. I’ll tell you what is more relevant:

While living in Bad Nauheim as a teenager, Lommel performed with Elvis Presley.

Know where Bad Nauheim is? About 22 miles north of Frankfurt. Ulli also died in Stuttgart. Mein Gott, how much did we talk about Frankfurt and Stuttgart in all the posts on the German auto industry and the Frankfurter Hexen?

And what do you think the chances were that Ulli just happened to connect with Elvis while he was overseas? That would be low-probability if Elvis was just some ordinary global ultra-star, but he wasn’t. He was wrapped up with the Salem Witches as I wrote up, most prominently with his handler, Colonel Tom Parker.

Do you remember who played Parker in the 2022 biopic, Elvis? Tom Hanks. See, I bet you thought I was reaching in the previous post when I connected Crimson Altar through Abe Lincoln to Tom Hanks. Maybe not such a reach, huh? Just a very small witchy world.

Also, do you know what town borders Bad Nauheim to the west? Ober-Mörlen. Very close to the name Morley, isn’t it? Just bizarre coincidence?

You can see on his Wikipedia page that Ulli Lommel’s filmography is a boatload of dreck. Looking at the titles alone causes me to wonder whether some of the subjects were actually Salem Witch productions, and that Ulli was promoting the “official narrative” with the films. That is how history is written, at least in practical terms.

One which caught my eye was the 2006 crime/horror film, Black Dahlia. Ulli both wrote and directed. A true auteur, eh? Anyway, the Salem Witches were without doubt tied up in the real-life crime:

I plucked the Black Dahlia and found a coverup that began with a generational Satanist and continues to this day. We’ll discuss that coverup why it’s so important. (conspiracies.win 10/4/2024)

I argue that LAPD Chief William Henry Parker III was instrumental in the coverup of that crime, and you can read much more of what I have to say about him in this post. I wrote another whole post investigating the Black Dahlia even further but felt it was too strange for the time and never published it. Still too strange, actually.

You’ll notice on the IMDb page for the film that it received a 1.4/10 based on over a thousand ratings. The Popcornmeter at Rotten Tomatoes comes in at 10%. In technical terms, this movie sucks ass. That brings up an observation.

It seems to me that some movies like this one—and who knows how many—are not produced to make money but for… well, whatever reasons the Salem Witches have. Each of them further promotes the phony Reality(tm) they have created, sure, but who knows what else? Maybe they screen them at their Eyes Wide Shut parties.

Another such work which Ulli directed was the 1979 crime drama, Cocaine Cowboys. IMDb gives it a 4.4/10. The film features a guy named—ready?—Tom Sullivan. How many Sullivans have we seen on this trip? I mean, it really revolves around him:

The film follows a drug smuggler who attempts to leave the narcotics trade behind by reinventing himself as a rock musician. Inspired in part by Sullivan's own experiences, the production was financed by Sullivan….

Tom was also a co-writer and stars in it. But surely I’m reaching again and Tom is just some dirtbag pusher named Sullivan, right?

The origins of Cocaine Cowboys can be traced to the social circle surrounding Pop artist Andy Warhol and drug smuggler Tom Sullivan in 1978. Sullivan, who had reportedly amassed substantial wealth through drug trafficking, became immersed in New York nightlife after arriving in the city with large amounts of cash and establishing a relationship with Interview magazine editor Catherine Guinness. Through Warhol, Sullivan became romantically involved with Margaret Trudeau, who was separated from her husband Pierre Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada.

Oh my, does Fidel know she was cheating on him (j/k)? And if your eye caught on the name, his other honey, Catherine Guinness, is the daughter of Jonathan Guinness, 3rd Baron Moyne of the Irish family of brewers and bankers.

Now, to do a complete job, we need to take a look at the names of the witches and the actresses who played them. First would be, “Morrigan Hurt as Jessica Morley”. We certainly understand Morley at this point. As to the actress, though, I argue there is no real person by that name.

It turns out her first name isn’t really something anyone would name their baby daughter. You can read about it in “The Morrígan”:

The Morrígan or Mórrígan, also known as Morrígu, is a figure from Irish mythology…. [I]t has been translated as "great queen" or "phantom queen". The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death, or victory in battle. In this role she often appears as a crow….

Ah, my sweet little crow! For confirmation, we go look at the IMDb page for Morrigan Hurt and find out that The Devonsville Terror is the only production she’s ever been in.

Our second witch was “Leslie Smith as Rebecca Carson”. Smith is a Salem Witch name but we aren’t going to try to follow that one up. But “Carson”? That one threw me for a loop.

I had never encountered that name in any Salem Witch research. What famous people had that name? Frontiersman Kit Carson? The legendary King of Late Night Television, Johnny Carson? I just felt that all these names from the movie had to have been put there for a reason.

So I persisted and it paid off with bad news: Kit Carson is almost certainly related to Johnny Carson, and Johnny Carson is a Salem Witch. Sad, right? His mother was born Ruth Elizabeth Hook. His first wife was Jody Morrill Wolcott. A full writeup will come one of these days.

If you still have trouble believing that sweetie-pie Midwesterner Johnny Carson was under the influence of the Salem Witches, I can understand. In fact, there is only one instance I know of where it was clear he was forced to do their dirty work. Take a look at his interview of Jim Garrison about the JFK assassination. It’s shameful and you won’t be able to think about Johnny the same way again.

Our last witch is “Barbara Cihlar as Mary Pratt”. We’ve seen too many Pratts just in this mini-series. “Cihlar” is a very unusual name, at least in the US. I looked into it and encountered some very unusual associations.

First off, the name is Czech and means something like “bricklayer”. We to once more to IMDb and find on the page for Barbara Cihlar and find that just th same as the last witch, Devonsville is her sole credit. Clearly someone planted the name there.

So I searched on the word alone and a top result was Tomáš Cihlář (b1967). He was indeed born in Czechoslovakia but is now in America. Know what he invented? Remdesivir. I think we all know there has been some recent controversy over that. What a strange connection, huh?

Tomas is the senior director of biology and vice-president of the ginormous pharma company, Gilead Sciences. In 2025, they had 17,000 employees and net income of $8.5B on revenue of almost $29.5B. Not bad.

Gilead is headquartered in Foster City, California. Funny, right? Even funnier is that the founder was Michael L. Riordan. “Riordan” is most assuredly—of all ethnicities—an Irish name. So, so strange.

Finally, The Devonsville Terror was shot in Merrill, Wisconsin. Do you remember that Johnny’s first wife was Jody Morrill Wolcott? Jacob Mirrill was at the Salem Witch Trials. Benjamin Franklin’s maternal grandmother was Mary Morell, and Mary’s daughter was a prominent witness at the trial.

As that last Wikipedia page notes, Mary was also recorded as “Morrel/Morrill/Morrills/Morill”, so you can see that for this name, there are an unusual number of variant spellings.

Bonus: In 2006, the same year as Ulli’s film Black Dahlia, there was another film titled, The Black Dahlia. And yes, it was a fictionalized version of the murder of Elizabeth Short. Was it also a Salem Witch film?

The murder is investigated by two fictional detectives. “Detective Lee Blanchard” is played by Aaron Eckhart. His mother was Mary Martha Lawrence.

His partner, “Detective Dwight ‘Bucky’ Bleichert”, is played by Josh Hartnett. The connection there is more interesting. Josh’s first feature film was Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998), marking the anniversary of the original Halloween mentioned above.

Even more intriguing (to me, anyway) is that this cinematic take on the Black Dahlia was directed by Brian De Palma (b1940). Know what he was doing in 1998? Directing Snake Eyes.

If you’re not familiar with the insane controversy surrounding that movie, I don’t know how you got here. Anyway, the story of that movie is even nuttier than you may know unless you’ve read:

Regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk (5 of 2): “Snake Eyes”, the Titanic, 9/11, and the Salem Witches (conspiracies.win 10/7/2025)

Thanks for reading! One more Clancy/Morley TV series to go!
