A 15-foot stone monument known as the Pendulous Column or "Gavis" at the Tatev Monastery in Armenia is noted for its ability to sway. This 10th-century structure was designed to detect earthquakes and, according to local legend, could be moved through consciousness alone. The pillar's survival while surrounding structures collapsed suggests it may be an ancient artifact around which the later monastery was constructed.

A provocative report claims that an "evil black order" of monks in a remote Tibetan monastery keeps ancient plasma monsters to harvest human souls. The account describes young boys being sacrificed to a gelatinous, dome-shaped entity that traps their life force in glass-like spheres. Lon Strickler acknowledges the story is far-fetched but chose to post it due to the witness's purported first-hand knowledge of Tibetan lore.

Citing the work of Edwin Johnson, the discussion explores the idea that the Christian Church and its classical texts were fabricated in French monasteries around 1500. Ivanova suggests that while an original, pure form of Christianity existed based on the teachings of Christ, it was later corrupted and mixed with violent ideologies. She claims the "God" of the modern Bible was substituted with a much crueler entity than the one Jesus actually described.

A 13th-century chronicle by Gervase of Tilbury records a story from a Prussian monastery where a strange, non-human entity was caught stealing wine from a cellar. The creature, described by some as a "Nubian" and by a bishop as an underworld devil, eventually escaped through a hidden tunnel behind loose stones.
