Psychic predicts violent
storms, UFO visits for West
BY SHARON JENSEN
A world known psychic living in Silverton has predicted a summer of unexplainable storms, power black-outs and multiple UFO sightings for the entire West Coast.
Ted Owens, acknowledged by some para-psychologists as "the world's foremost psychic," this week made the predictions and released the information to The Appeal and the Washington Post only.
According to Owens, known by scientists and government officials throughout the world as "PK Man" (for psychokinesis), the entire West Coast will be the target of the attentions of "Space Intelligences".
(Owens shortens the term to "SIs")
Owens predicts that "The entire West Coast .... from June 5 .... through September .... will have freakish power blackouts; lightning attacks and storms unusual at this time; and many UFO appearances plus EM (electro-magnetic) an-omalies. The West Coast will, in effect be under the control of UFOs for this period of time."
Though Owens admits that most are "understandably skeptical" (he took exception to an article in a Salem daily) he says that it is this skepticism that brings the SIs to perform these demonstrations .... to prove that "they" exist.
Ted, his wife, Martha, and sons, Beau and Teddy, live at 433 S. First. He moved here, he said, to live a quiet life as a teacher. He feels that this is the work that the SIs had cut out for him and that his years of "demonstrating" were over. Apparently this is not so, for he says the SIs contacted him Friday night to tell him of their plans for the coast, from Northern Washington to the tip of Baja.

Owens says that he has been showing psychic abilities since early childhood. Palmistry and fortune tel-ling were like his ABCs, he said.
Owens told us that he alone is the earth's intermediary for the Sls. He related that one night while he was living in Forth Worth, Tex., he was contacted by the Sls. He says that they "modified" his brain so they could communicate with him.
He doesn't claim to have ever consciously walked up to the space ship to palaver with the Sls. He can remember only that he and his daughter Lorni spotted a "cigar shaped UFO" while driving in the country.
"It seemed like just a minute that we saw the object," he said, "but when I looked at my watch hours had elapsed. From that day my life has changed drastically.
This big man with arms that a football player would envy, has flowing white hair and beard and a gentle demeanor that makes him resemble jolly old St. Nick. He has piercing blue eyes and a voice that makes you want to listen as he tells his story, well punctuated with chuckles. He doesn't take himself very seriously but is in deadly earnest about his work.
"My purpose here is to help the human race," a race that he is definitely part of, even though, he says, the Sls have modified his brain to receive their messages.
He takes pupils who wish to have their learning capabilities increased and the whole process takes only three to four days. He works with energies, he explained, and it is the process that has changed his life and is withstood by few humans.
Owens will also try to help those who find life perplexing, to under-stand themselves better and set them on a positive course. This he does in short sessions with individ-uals.
The 58-year-old, unassuming fellow says, he wants nothing for himself, but feels compelled to bring a message he feels is genuine to the people of the Earth.
And who knows? .... Maybe we ought to listen.
