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!

TL/DR: We’ll itemize and trace the “witchy” references found in a 60’s horror movie.

I said in the last post that there would be one more post concering popular media related to the cases. When I got around to writing it up, there was far more material than I thought and I’ll have to split them up, one for each of two movies and another for a TV series.

Now, these media analyses are, in and of themselves, not directly related to either the Clancy or Morley cases and prove nothing about them. I only stumbled across them researching the name “Morley”. I had never encountered the name Morley before and had no idea it was connected to the Salem Witches.

But there is, to my way of thinking, a “boomerang effect”. Suppose that you are somehow still convinced that the Lindsay Clancy and Deirdre Morley incidents transpired according to some version we have been handed by the mainstream. After reading up on all these strange and surprising associations found in old “entertainments” and across history, I feel like it becomes much harder to maintain the position, “That’s all just coincidence, forget it, now let me loudly tell you my opinion on these cases….”

The social engineers are well-aware that the vast majority are interested only in having an opinion, because that necessarily signals to all others that you have enough knowledge to have formed an opinion in the first place. So look around at everyone that has an opinion on Clancy and Morley and ask yourself if you believe they formed it with knowledge of all that has been in the last few posts, is in this one, and will be in the next two. Probably not, huh?

Our focus here is Morley but we already came across two big pop culture names. In the second post on Lindsay Clancy, we found:

1. Patrick Clancy’s siblings set up the questionably-named Heard Foundation, which lead to the surprising fact that Amber Heard (b1986) is the daughter of a Parsons.

2. Tom Clancy (1947-2013) is a Salem Witch on whom a post will be written. You know, one of these days.

Before we dive into the movie, we need to discuss what that evidence will be prove: nothing. Well, nothing more than the presence of the Salem Witches in these productions. Let me amplify on why I need to make this point.

With all the “occult media analysis” you get from, say, Isaac Wieshaupt or Jay Dyer, it always boils down to them telling you about the Big Picture revealed by their knowledge and expertise in decoding the signals and messaging embedded in some production or other. The point is always and invariably that they are crusaders sounding the alarm over what all us mouth-breathers are too blind and ignorant to understand.

Well, that’s not what’s happening here, at least with any of these productions. What is their message? Beats the hell out of me. What do they reveal about the Big Picture? Nothing, so far as I can tell. The best I can do is pick up faint echoes of the real-world situation, and that is only because I already know a lot about the real-world situation.

As far as I can discern, these various elements were dropped in as something akin to a big “in-joke”. “They” see it and none of the rest of us do. However, this should not be considered trivial or underestimated in any way. In terms sociologists would use, the psychological dynamic of “in-group and out-group” is incredibly powerful.

Even that Wikipedia page underplays it. If you ever wondered why, for example, people get tattoos, and kids use slang, and accents, dialects, and languages develop, it is to help distinguish in-group from out-group. Blue hair is not simply an autonomous and arbitrary fashion choice.

You are free to disagree, but what this situation tends to confirm for me is that Their operations are highly compartmentalized. Even when we identify a Salem Witch, the chances are they have very little knowledge of any larger context and are subject to more manipulation than the average peasant.

What we will shortly be itemizing are not bullet points in a Occult Message, but rather the results of minor influences. Certain character names are suggested to a screenwriter, certain actors are suggested to a casting director, a certain author is suggested to a producer, and so forth. All we can draw from it is, “Yep, the Salem Witches were here.”

I personally don’t have a Big Message, but once again a Big Question: after you have read the following, do you really believe it is all a merely a Big Coincidence? Let’s dive in….

Curse of the Crimson Altar (also called The Crimson Altar and released in the United States as The Crimson Cult) is a 1968 British horror film. The plot summary (boldface mine):

Antiques dealer Robert Manning searches for his brother, who was last known to have visited the remote house of Craxted Lodge at Greymarsh, their family's ancestral town. Arriving at night, he finds a party is in progress, and he is invited to stay by Eve, the niece of the owner of the house. His sleep is restless and strange dreams of ritual sacrifice disturb him. Enquiring about his brother, Peter, he is assured by the house owner, Morley, that the man is not there. Manning's suspicions are aroused by nightmarish hallucinations. Occult expert Professor Marsh informs Manning about a witchcraft cult led by Morley's ancestor, Lavinia. With the vicar's help the cult is discovered to still be active. In an effort to kill Robert and Eve (a descendant of Lavinia), Morley, the secret co-head of the cult, sets fire to Craxted Lodge. He and Lavinia are trapped on the roof. As Lavinia laughs at the bystanders, she and Morley are consumed in the flames.

Do we all see the unmistakable stain of the Salem Witches on this movie? Recall from the second Lindsay post linked above that Isaac Morley Sr. (1786-1865) was the son of Editha Marsh and that he was born in Marshfield, Massachusetts, immediately north of Duxbury, where we are supposed to think Lindsay snuffed her own children. What are the chances, huh?

Want more? This is tasty: the role of “Professor John Marsh” was played by Boris Karloff (1887-1969). Karloff was a Hollywood legend who played the original Frankenstein, the original Mummy, and even voiced The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

I always assumed Boris was Eastern European and never heard otherwise. Incorrect! His real name was William Henry Pratt. Do you recall from that same Lindsay post the name of the man who baptized Isaac Morley as one of the first converts to Joseph Smith’s Church of Christ (later to become the LDS)? Why, it was Parley Parker Pratt Sr.. Can’t make this up.

Now try on this little loop which spans two centuries and see if it fits: One of the two screenwriters was Henry Lincoln (1930-2022). Read that page and they give you some runaround about how his name was really Henry Soskin. Personally, I believe he changed his name to Soskin to hide the fact that he wa really a Lincoln. You know, as in Abe Lincoln, who you can read up on in one of several posts about him.

It turns out Henry was a co-author of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (1982), which really stirred up a lot of controversy over good old JC Himself. That book gave rise to a kind of “novelized” version of the core concept in The Da Vinci Code (2003), although author Dan Brown denies the link. That novel in turn gave rise to The Da Vinci Code (film) (2006). Hopefully I’ve rung a pop culture bell somwhere along that line.

How do we connect back? The star of the film was Hollyweird arch-creep Tom Hanks (b1956). His second cousin five times removed was Nancy Hanks (1784-1818). After she married, she took her husband’s name of Lincoln. They later welcomed a son, Abraham. Yes, that Abraham Lincoln.

One more odd little loop. You can decide if this indicates we see Salem Witches from the fringes who were caught up in the action, or mere strange happenstance. We begin with the role of “Morley” himself, played by another titan of Hollywood, Christopher Lee (1922-2015). I mean, Lee was around for over six decades in countless horror films, then became Saruman in LOTR and Count Dooku in Star Wars. Amazing.

Another of his iconic roles was was as Bond supervillain “Francisco Scaramanga” in The Man with the Golden Gun (film) (1974). Perhaps he got an inside track on that role because Lee’s step-cousin was Ian Fleming (1922-2015), the founder of the entire James Bond feast.

Ian had a older brother named Peter Fleming who really seems like a global black ops guy when you read up on him, but exploration of that is beyond our scope. I just want to inform you of the trivia that he married actress and later Dame Celia Johnson (1908-1982).

Okay, it’s not just that her name was Johnson. I wouldn’t mention that if it wasn’t for this strange connection. Remember all the flying saucer fuss at Roswell back in ‘47? Well, as I detail in my post on Roswell, the iconic photographs of the “wreckage” were taken by an Army photographer named—get this—James Bond Johnson.

Yes, Bond is also a Salem Witch name. Also, I don’t have his year of birth but James Bond Johnson would have been given his name two or three decades before the first 007 book was published in 1953. That is, his parents did not name their baby after a fictional spy. I’m thinking that, if there is a causal link, it runs the other way.

BTW, Fleming claims he named the ultra-horny and pathologically-murderous spy after an American ornithologist. Yeah, that seems super-likely, doesn’t it?

Finally, as if all the foregoing was not enough, Wikipedia tells us that the script “was based loosely (uncredited) on the short story ‘The Dreams in the Witch House’ by H. P. Lovecraft.”

Would it surprise you to learn that the 1933 horror short story, The Dreams in the Witch House concerns events at (get ready) the Salem Witch Trials? Who saw that coming? Everyone?

That causes us to look at H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937), and the very first thing we find out is that his full name was Howard Phillips Lovecraft (note the “s” on the end). There were six people named Phillips involved with the Salem Witch Trials, if you were wondering.

Finally, I would like to go back and discuss that plot summary. This section is merely what I observe and not proof of anything, so skip it if you like. I said before there was no messaging and that I could only detect echoes because I have become so familiar with Their patterns. Let’s talk about those echoes.

Point 1: Like the Salem Witches, the fictional Morley witches are a generational cult with secret membership. Lavinia is 300 years old at the time the film takes place and is cooperating with her distant descendant. Yes, the Salem Witches do work across those timeframes although they don’t live for 300 years.

Point 2: Lavinia’s descendant and Morley’s own niece, Eve, cooperates with Robert to put a stop to them. This is an example of compartmentalization. The Salem Witches surely have millions of descendants in the US alone, but only a tiny fraction of them participate.

When I say that John Q. Public is a Salem Witch and Public is a Salem Witch name, that does not mean that everyone named Public is a Salem Witch. John Q.’s surname has only alerted us to investigate further.

Point 2.1: The Salem Witches will kill their own who turn against them, like Eve in the film. They work according to rules and that’s allowed. Killing someone simply for opposing them is not. They are trying to prove a point to “certain authorities”. If their non-Salem Witch servants dream up on their own to kill on their behalf, that is allowed.

Point 3: Because the Salem Witches are compartmentalized, you will sometimes see them bickering with one another or working at cross-purposes. This level of competition or in-fighting is allowed, but never to the point of conflict or destruction.

For you parents out there, you realize there will be a certain level of rivalry among your children and you must allow a degree of contention. But no, they can’t try to knife one another.

Point 3.1: Even though Manning and Marsh are opposed to the Morley witches, this is not evidence they are messaging us about “internal conflict”. More likely, a compartmentalized Salem Witch was just given a list of names to drop into the script.

Bonus: I mentioned Roswell above and you may recall that the man at the center of it was base intelligence officer, Major Jesse Marcel Sr.. If you read that page, you’ll see it namechecks one and only one researcher “deboonking” Major Marcel by the name of “Robert Todd”. This, I would contend, is Salem Witches playing both sides of the fence.

You may recall that Robert Todd Lincoln was Abe Lincoln’s son. Further, you may recall that his mother, Mary Todd Lincoln was the daughter of a woman who was born Elizabeth Ann Parker.

Thanks for reading! Another Morley movie analysis on the way!
