Location Description and History

Because of one woman's dream that future generations might understand and study the frugal and pioneer beginnings of the West, the Museum known as "My House of Old Things" still brings tourists to Ancho from May until October.  Jackie Straley Silvers was a descendent of the Straley family who homesteaded there the early part of the century. She was an avid collector and could not throw anything away nor refuse anything that was given to her. People even willed things to her:  a collection of rocks, dolls, bottles, dishes, cigar bands. Friends, instead of taking things to the dump, gave her old washing machines, rusty stoves and farm implements. Her collection became immense.  To house her growing collection she bought the old abandoned railroad station and moved it next to her home.

The grand opening of her "House of Old Things" was held in June of 1963. People came from all over New Mexico. Newspapers reported the event, and the Secretary of State came. For the nine years until her death in 1972, Jackie thoroughly enjoyed giving tours. Now her daughter Sara and her husband, L. Y. Jackson, continue the legacy. Even though antique lovers would be ecstatic to be able to purchase some of the items in this Museum, none of it is for sale.
There are rugged hand wrought iron nails, early kitchen utensils and appliances, delicate silver, china and glassware. Furniture styles of the past are displayed in many of the eight rooms. Part of the old post office wall is appropriately there, as Jackie was postmaster of the Ancho post office, a position that someone in her family held for fifty-six years.
For railroad buffs there is a complete station with its relics from Ancho's past. An operating telegraph key, switch controls and hundreds of mementos attest to its authenticity.
For those of us who are older, there are many things to remind us of items our grandparents owned. For the younger generation it gives them a glimpse into pioneer life. Perhaps it will make everyone appreciate the inventions and ways in which our lives are soft compared to the hardships of our ancestors.

Are ghosts attracted to objects? That was the focus for this investigation.

During the course of this investigation, we discovered that DC EM & magnetic fields are associated with objects. The areas around these objects were also high in static measurements.

This is interesting because the objects that we measured have had reports of moving by themselves. The owners are aware that certain object move and occasionally the movement is to another room. The person we talked to believed that the visitors were responsible for some of the movement but there were some objects that were either not possible to move (due to weight or being in a display case) to too heavy for visitors to move without allot of effort.

The fields are not static because they varied with time and are DC, not AC.

Although we can not say that these are paranormal or explainable occurrences, it may suggest how the "unexplained" movement of objects occurs in "haunted" locations.

External Magnetic Field Propulsion & Flying Objects

By Mahmoud E. Yousif

Abstract: Several mechanisms were developed from the Magnetic Interaction hypothesis (MIH) and the related Universal Energies (UE) of captured charged particles produced by External Magnetic Field (ExMF), using rotating low magnetic fields (RLMF) operated from a solenoid. It is the ExMF that leads to energization of these particles. Electromotive force (e.m.f) can be generated across a conductor terminal nearby or directly influenced by several turns of a rotating ExMF.

If a RLMF is produced to penetrate bismuth in a mechanism (as suggested), then the produced ExMF interacts with the bismuth, resulting in continuous, enormous and momentary force, or ExMF force, to propel the mechanism. These mechanisms are extended to apply to the propulsion of several systems among them two flying objects (FO).
