Let's go back in time a bit, shall we?
This claim is from the enormous backlog of claims left in the shadows prior to my arrival here. I wrote to this applicant in April of this year, but received no reply. His file has now been closed.
From October, 2000...
============================================
I am writing you in response to the one million dollar paranormal challenge of solid evidence regarding paranormal activity. I enthusiastically claim to have unusual supernatural abilities using a method of painting appropriately named Spontaneous Interpretive Painting.
A simple demonstration would proceed something like this:
You would ask me to paint on a canvas the answer to a particular question about an unsolved situation concerning a personm subject matter, or an event. I will give you the correct answer after the painting is completely finished and interpreted. I will gladly accept any challenge. My only request is that you ask an important question to benefit humanity, and I would like to keep the original painting as an intricate part of a twenty year collection.
It is not so much about the money. It is more important to let the right person know about the paintings that speak for themselves. Maybe you can help.
Sincerely, Edgar Steven Cole
