  • The Putnam Parallelogram - Hellmouth or Rature Road?

    Friends -

    Sister Phebe was telling me yesterday evening over dinner how she'd learned about the so-called "Putnam Parallelogram", located over in Fayette County. Supposedly, farm equipment and people have been vanishing within this area for decades!

    I thought she was the victim of a little gag, so I did some looking online. Look at this very interesting article! It includes the transcript of an interview with Dr. K. D. Schaefer, who spent 18 years researching the Parallelogram until his own untimely and suspicious demise in 1963.

    In Fayette County, near the town of Putnam, there is a section of rural farmland bordered by four county roads that has been called the "Putnam Parallelogram". This area occupies a disturbing and almost unbelievable place in Iowa's catalog of unexplained mysteries. More than eighty farm vehicles, cars, trucks, and small airplanes have literally vanished into thin air since 1945. More than 700 lives have been lost over the last twenty-six years alone, without a single body or even a piece of wreckage having been found. Disappearances continue to occur with apparently increasing frequency despite the fact that today's roadways are more traveled, searches are more thorough, and records are more carefully kept.
    Schaefer thought it had something to do with UFOs and a government conspiracy. Now, that's silly. Everybody knows the X-Files is just stories!

    Surely it's either a gateway to Hell, or God's favorite spot to pre-Rapture the Godly. Given its location in northeast Iowa, I'd be more inclined to believe the latter. A gateway to Hell would probably be someplace like Sin Francisco.

    Has anyone from Landover ever gone missing out that way? It's a ways from Freehold, but nothing is too far for the Lord!


    Fayette County is in red.

    Should Landover mount an expedition to research this phenomenon?

    We have a few patches of quicksand out our way. From time to time a tractor or farm implement disappears.

    The locals tend to make fun of anyone who carelessly loses valuable equipment this way.
    Jud 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are unGodly among them of all their unGodly deeds which they have unGodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which unGodly sinners have spoken against him.

      If a kindly moderator could do me a favor, I see I made a typo in the title. It should read "Rapture Road", not "Rature Road".

      This has nothing to do with Rat Attack 10.



      . . . or does it?
