PREAMBLE. A short week on the external-sightings front and a busier one on this desk’s own paperwork: one genuinely new find out of Egypt, a decade-old case file reopened for the holiday, and an administrative notice this desk is still getting used to writing. Logged below.
CZECH MISSION REDISCOVERS LOST OLD KINGDOM TOMBS AT SAQQARA
Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced on October 27 that a Czech archaeological mission has relocated the long-lost tombs of two Old Kingdom officials, the high priest Sabu and his son Ptahshepses, at Saqqara — structures first noted by 19th-century excavator Auguste Mariette and then lost to the record for over 160 years. The team also uncovered a previously unknown offering chapel belonging to Ikhetnefert, Sabu’s wife, which Mariette’s original survey missed entirely. Ptahshepses’ limestone sarcophagus was recovered inside the re-located tomb; officials confirmed it had been looted in antiquity, which this desk notes is less a plot twist than a baseline expectation for anything buried in Egypt for four thousand years.

FROM THIS DESK: REVISITING THE BOTHELL “HELL HOUSE”
This desk reopened Case #WA-2012 for Halloween — the Keith Linder “Bothell Hell House” poltergeist case, a decade on, including why a podcast bonus episode this past September was enough of a current thread to justify the file, and why nothing new has actually happened at the property itself since 2016. Full case file, with the original 2016 investigator and media sourcing, linked below.

FROM THIS DESK: A SECOND CHANNEL OF TRANSMISSION, NOW ON YOUTUBE
Administrative, not paranormal, but filed all the same: this operation launched a YouTube channel this week, carrying a mix of full episode uploads and shorter clips for operatives who’d rather watch than listen. It is not a replacement for the podcast or this blog — just a third post alongside both.

ANALYST NOTE: This desk filed more about its own operation this week than about anything unexplained, which either means the paranormal took the week off or this desk has started mistaking administrative memos for fieldwork. It is monitoring itself for the latter.
FRESH OFF THE FEED. The newest drop this week: AD: Royce Isaacs on true crime case, a follow-on to Isaacs’ longer appearance discussing the Dyatlov Pass Incident and the Yuba County Five.
