“Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a survival... a survival of a hugely remote period when... consciousness was manifested, perhaps, in shapes in forms long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity... forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them Gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds...”

Mass murderers and the Internet[edit]
Over the last few years I have spent researching mass murderers, I have always been most fascinated by those who leave behind a large internet presence. With the age of technology we live in; everyone is consumed by electronic devices and digital media. Some people decide to use it for good intentions, others decide to use it for bad intentions.
There have been a few mass murderers within the last decade who have had YouTube accounts; some of which have documented their lives in the years/months leading up to the crimes they commit. I can't put these in mainspace articles, so I will write a list here, in my userspace:
- William Atchison: Vance Stone ([1])
- Jared Lee Loughner: Classitup10 ([2])
- Anton Lundin Pettersson: HiphopDestroyer666 ([3])
- Elliot Rodger: ElliotRodger ([4])
