The site's homepage
The Search for the Zone, located at thesearchforthezone.com, was an Internet blog maintained by Buckhorn high school principal William Hastings, dedicated to the topic of parallel universes and alternate dimensions. Hastings ran the site with town librarian Ruth Davenport. Heinrich Viegel was an occasional contributor.[1]

The blog was started on June 1, 1997. As early as 2010, visitors could leave comments in a guestbook, to which Hastings would occasionally respond. The last site update took place in November 2015.[1]
The week before Ruth Davenport was found dead, Hastings left a post stating that the two of them had managed for the first time to enter "the zone," where they made contact with "the Major." Buckhorn police detective Dave Macklay provided a copy of the post to FBI investigator Albert Rosenfield.[2]

Introduction[]
- Welcome to The Search for the Zone. Here you will find writings, links, and other bits and pieces as we find the time and inclination to post them up. This site is a journal of my (and my partner’s) fascination with multidimensional/time travel, dark matter, the afterlife, etc. We are interested in a lot of things, but these are the main topics of discussion...
- We will have to reconcile with the question that if someone from outside our familiar world gains access to our plane of existence, what ramifications will that entail? There might be forces at work from deep dimensional space, or from the future…or are these one in the same? Think of the events that could have splintered time? The things that could have laid the seed for a starting point for this development? Perhaps technological innovations or the assassination of President Kennedy?

There have been a few articles of well-known scientists who admitted they were trying to break thru to a parallel universe, so it’s obvious even hard science is beginning to acknowledge there are indeed parallel universes. In general though science is a very dogmatic field and not open to enquiry. What’s funny is when it’s reported that science has ‘found something that shouldn’t exist’ as if the whole universe is governed by man made laws of physics. Thanks for all your work, Bill...those of us in the community commend and support you! | |

Recently I had an experience that can only be explained by the existence of multiple dimensions. It was not a dream of any kind or anything I had experienced in the past. Without going into too much detail, I found myself present…physically present with a close friend who passed in some other ‘space’ or ‘dimension.’ He has been gone for several years but in this elsewhere where I found myself he existed in flesh form. I know this sounds impossible, but it happened, I swear. This has completely changed my concepts of ‘life’ and ‘consciousness' | |

my grandmother remembers this - she said you are real but you should … (not to say sorry.) and remember this is not my name! - so no one gets in trouble! | |

great video… but not the good quality. I couldn’t tell - was that light really fire? Was the boy burned? His face looked burned. When will you do the “thing”? | |
