A few interesting cases in this video, but especially #1 caught my interest.

The #1 case, of Bruno Borges, just happened this year, on the 27th of March, and are really really weird.
Check the video filmed in his room first, and then read the info.



"A student has mysteriously disappeared in Brazil, leaving behind a locked room covered in code and a £2,000 statue of a 16th-century alien hunter.

Alien enthusiast Bruno Borges, 24, reportedly vanished from his family home in Brazil last Monday while working on a secretive project. The student's shaken businessman father Athos Borges, said he last saw his son when he left their family home in Rio Branco, Acre, without any money after lunch on March 27.

He said the family have received some information, but nothing concrete and nothing that would indicate what has happened.

The psychology student's disappearance has sparked worldwide interest - with many believing he's been abducted by aliens - after a bizarre video of the inside of his bedroom was leaked online.

Borges appears to have turned the room into a shrine to the extraterrestrial world, has removed all the furniture and put up a creepy self-portrait of himself with an alien. The walls are also covered with coded writing and signs associated with Satanism and the Illuminati are spread across the floor. Among the writings were passages from the Bible and phrases from Leonardo da Vinci, which lay in among 14 handwritten books, which were also encrypted.

The 14 bound manuscripts – each with a Roman numeral on – were found in the room written in the same code as that on the walls.

A photograph that allegedly shows one page of one of the books has appeared online and has been “decoded” by a Brazilian computer expert.

One passage supposedly says: “It is easy to accept what you have been taught since childhood and what is wrong.


“It is difficult, as an adult, to understand that you were wrongly taught what you suspected was correct since you were a child.


“In other words, if you fit into the system, your behaviour will be determined, making you at the mercy of beliefs already provided and well established in dogmas and rituals, with the masses.”


The Criminal Investigation Department (DIC) are investigating Borges' disappearance.

According to lead investigator Fabrizzio Sobreira, the case remains confidential, but all possibilities are being considered." Source

Another approach on the case, from Rede Globo's Fantástico again, was aired and it covered some new information regarding his behavior mainly based on audio recordings and testimonials from other friends and family members.

Thus, it reports (in Brazilian Portuguese):

  • an audio recording of him talks about out-of-body/astral projection experiences he had as he explained how it happened for a friend last January;
  • the report reinforced the period of 24 days he used to achieve the transformation of his room as a sort of temple and it was precisely happening from March 1st to March 25th;

  • a longtime friend of him told he said he had created various copies of the texts with different levels of difficulty;
  • this same friend claimed he had taught him the meanings of the symbols present in the book XIII entitled: "ensaio sobre as perguntas sem resposta";
  • he said this book talks about three basic questions: "quem sou eu?", "qual o sentido da vida?" and "há um deus?";
  • his family is well-known in the town they live as they have some kind of concert hall and a restaurant around there;
  • during his childhood, he had an imaginary friend called "tomate", which was a pillow, and his family consulted back then a paediatrician expert in mental disorders and homeopathy, but the paediatrician refused to be interviewed for ethical concerns;
  • however, his family explained the diagnosis was normal;
  • before starting studying psychology, he had tried a pilot degree, but he abandoned it before its conclusion;
  • according to his family, he read about 15 books a month;
  • the friend said he was interested in biographies and stories of great persons in order to understand where the genius comes from;
  • Giordano Bruno was his favorite and it was even depicted in the form of a statue weighing about 100kg and it is not hollow, so, there is no space where he would be able to hide inside it;
  • a reiki master explained the basis of the technique as a science original from Egypt that restarted in Japan and claimed it is all about harmony and emotional and spiritual balance;
  • his family told he studied reiki during his adolescence and even became a master on it;
  • anyway, the reiki master examined the reiki symbology left by him, found mistakes and corrected his spelling, for instance, SHA instead of CRA and SHO instead of CHO and NEN instead of NAN, according to her explanation;
  • it is claimed his family is catholic, but he turned into a spiritist although he told them he did not use to attend any spiritist center;
  • last year, he met with a physician, who knows him since his and his twin brother birth and also followed him up to his 12/13 years old, to talk about spiritism once the physician himself is a spiritist too and founded at least 8 spiritist center in their town, then, he told he heard voices of many different people telling him he had a great mission here to help mankind;
  • in January, when he had an out-of-body experience, as an audio from himself tells, he was affraid of it and tried to refuse it, but it was useless to deny;
  • the coordinator of the Instituto Internacional de Projeciologia e Conscienciologia listened his audio and explained a little bit of astral projections and how spirits work in these grounds;
  • on an audio recording, he explained how disappointed he was with the experience itself as he would like to perform spiritual help, but could not find anything about it around there, then, lost lucidity, although it was very real for him;
  • his twin brother told he was too skinny lately and even became skinnier during the period he transformed his room as he was not eating normally;
  • he became a fruitarian one year ago and recently became a vegan as well;
  • he looked for an expert on clinical nutrition, who refused the interview, but stated his clinical exams showed he was healthy;
  • the doctor who followed him until his adolescence also told he never noticed any psychiatric abnormality among his ideas;
  • the childhood friend told he experimented Santo Daime drinking it inside an indigenous village only some few times;
  • authorities do not discharge the possibility that he went abroad, so, Interpol is warned about his disappearance;
  • anyway, investigations point that he left home willingly;
  • he had been telling he would finish the books and left his room ready, then, he would isolate himself from the world, so, even sad they believe he will later come back.
Contradictions:

  • in how many days he did it seems to be unsure, although, the period of 24 days have been better sustained;
he did it in 24 days exactly as they say;

it states he transformed his room in just 22 days exactly while his parents were traveling and, according to his siblings, he only left the bedroom to eat during these days;

the report reinforced the period of 24 days he used to achieve the transformation of his room as a sort of temple and it was precisely happening from March 1st to March 25th;

  • the price of the statue seems to be expensive and it had a discount, but it seems that Fantástico's report is more precise once the own sculptor said he charged only R$7.000, then, later he returned and paid more R$3.000;
the peruvian sculptor behind the creation of the statue, Jorge Rivas Plata, was interviewed and explained their deal and how he sold it cheaper than it costs (R$10.000) just for admiring his project;

the peruvian sculptor is now working on a bust of Bruno Borges himself and it is said he charged only R$7.000;

  • the CCTV footage is dated 28/03/2017, 14:29, not March 27.
