What Is The Tension Experience ?
Today we got a vague and strange email posing a question, “What is The Tension Experience?” So, I decided to look further by visiting the website. According to the message it is a completely personal experience. Participants sign up for an “engaging, multifaceted and completely unpredictable journey…” one that has them “plunging into the deepest depths of their own human psyches, all while piecing together pieces of the Tension puzzle.” Indoctrination begins this Fall, 2016 in Los Angeles, California and the OOA Institute would encourage those interested in taking the path to enlightenment to visit the Tension Experience website to begin your journey today. I did a little snooping around the OOA website, which is filled with quotes, and puzzles. I found a message board where those who have already began their “journey to enlightenment”discussed their experiences and compared notes. They spoke of hoods, secret locations, cryptic messages and puzzles. I realized then that The Tension Experiment is an actual,

Today (May 7) marks the anniversary of the death of America’s first and most prolific serial killer, Henry H. Holmes. Born on May 16, 1861, as Herman Webster Mudgett, H. H. Holmes built a grand hotel, often referred to as “The Murder Castle”, which operated during the World’s Fair, a hotel built with murder in mind.
