In ‘88 Bob Cranmer and his wife Lesa bought a house on 3406 Brownsville Road (pictured above)
just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Bob had always dreamed of owning this house and found it interesting that it became available the same week he started looking for his dream home. The owners seemed very anxious to sell and accepted his first low-ball offer without any hesitation.
Shortly after the move, Bob discovered a small metal box buried in the front yard containing Catholic religious items. He called the previous owner who had assured him that “the house was fine,” only then to hear him say “just put it back where you found it.”
It didn’t take long for things to get creepy. It started off with Bob coming downstairs in the morning and finding lights on and the radio playing. There was a pull chain light in a closet that would always have its chain wrapped around the bulb, and never remain with the chain dangling. Crucifixes and crosses throughout the home were sometimes bent, broken in half, or thrown onto the floor, etc. Things escalated as time went on. Various family members would wake up with bite marks and scratches. Bob’s youngest son refused to sleep in his own bed and felt the safest in his room’s closet.
At one point a priest was called in to perform a blessing. As the priest started to enter the house, the young son stood in the way of the priest, not allowing him to enter the home, making an “X” with his body in the doorway.
Over the years the Cranmer family became increasingly dysfunctional and eventually Lesa and two of the children would experience mental issues which required hospitalization.
Finally, Bob called demonologist Adam Blai to the home. Blai was immediately drawn to a small closet by the staircase and insisted that they cut open one of the walls. Blai and the Cranmers found items belonging to each homeowner since the house was built in the early 1900s, including Legos belonging to Bob’s son. Upon further investigating the contents inside the walls, they found a rough sketch of the home’s original owners from 1909. Blai helped cleanse the house and eventually (in 2006) the Cranmer family was free of the evil plaguing their home.
2018 was the fourth hottest year since modern recordkeeping
began. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration work together to track temperatures around the world and
study how they change from year to year. For decades, the overall global temperature
has been increasing.
Over the long term, world temperatures are warming, but each
individual year is affected by things like El Niño ocean patterns and specific
weather events.
1.5 degrees
Globally, Earth’s temperature was more than 1.5 degrees
Fahrenheit warmer than the average from 1951 to 1980.
The Record
139 years
Since 1880, we can put together a consistent
record of temperatures around the planet and see that it was much colder in the
late-19th century.
Before 1880, uncertainties in tracking global temperatures were too large.
Temperatures have increased even faster since the 1970s, the result of
increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Five Hottest
The last five years have been the hottest in the modern
record.
6,300 Individual
Observations
Scientists from NASA use data from 6,300 weather stations
and Antarctic research stations, together with ship- and buoy-based
observations of sea surface temperatures to track global temperatures.
The Consequences
605,830 swimming pools
As the planet warms, polar ice is melting at an accelerated
rate. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets lost about 605,830 Olympic
swimming pools (400 billion gallons) of water between 1993 and 2016.
8 inches
Melting ice raises sea levels around the world. While ice
melts into the ocean, heat also causes the water to expand. Since 1880, sea
levels around the world have risen approximately 8 inches.
71,189 acres burned
One symptom of the warmer climate is that fire seasons burn
hotter and longer. In 2018, wildfires burned more than 71,189 acres in the U.S.
alone.
46% increase in CO2 levels
CO2 levels have increased 46 percent since the late 19th
Century, which is a dominant factor causing global warming.
