Remember bitumen / petroleum IS MADE OF THE DEAD. It was formed in the Carboniferous Period, the 2nd to last era of the Paleozoic era, which had a mass extinction, "the Great Dying", larger than that of the dinosaurs during the Mesozoic Era. Its cause is unknown. What could it be? Is this when the mud flood occurred? Sudden massive rain? Crushing or drowning those not saved by Noah's ark?
THEORY:
The blackness / evil / goo / bitumen / coal / tar / petroleum are the remains of the EVIL DEAD of the fallen angels and their evil children. Maybe the reason this black goo has an intelligence and evil intent? Without bodies, their evil spirits live and interact with human beings. They can re-live their bodily existence through possession.
Requoting myself from the Nephillim thread.
"I read the book the "Nephillim Looked Like Clowns" by Paul Stobbs. Basically he says the original clown/jesters costumes and makeup were plain until Freemasons got involved and changed the look into the tribal makeup that conjures evil spirits. The evil spirits are of the Nephilim who can shapeshift. They were not created by God therefore after death they could not go to heaven or hell. They are stuck in an in between realm that is reachable through psychedelics. Being bodiless, they cannot enjoy their debauch ways unless possessing a human body. This is why around the world you have people dressed in this clown style to be "possessed by their ancestors."

Sources on history of Carboniferous period, fossil fuel formation, and the Great Dying:
Petroleum's History
"280 to 345 million years ago – Carboniferous period; fossil fuel formation begins.
Around 3 million years ago – Stone Age; Vast underground oil reserves seep to the surface in sticky black pools and lumps, called bitumen. Hunters use bitumen (also called pitch or tar) to attach flint arrowheads to their arrows."
Bitumen Production: Journey from Crude Oil to Paving Material
"Bitumen is formed from the remains of dead organisms that were buried under the earth's surface millions of years ago. These organic materials are subjected to heat and pressure, which converts them into crude oil. Bitumen is a heavy component of crude oil and is separated from it during the refining process."
The Great Dying - Article from NASA
"250 million years ago something unknown wiped out most life on our planet. Now scientists are finding buried clues to the mystery inside tiny capsules of cosmic gas. It was almost the perfect crime. Some perpetrator -- or perpetrators -- committed murder on a scale unequaled in the history of the world. They left few clues to their identity, and they buried all the evidence under layers and layers of earth.
The case has gone unsolved for years -- 250 million years, that is. But now the pieces are starting to come together, thanks to a team of NASA-funded sleuths who have found the "fingerprints" of the villain, or at least of one of the accomplices. The terrible event had been lost in the amnesia of time for eons. It was only recently that paleontologists, like hikers stumbling upon an unmarked grave in the woods, noticed a startling pattern in the fossil record: Below a certain point in the accumulated layers of earth, the rock shows signs of an ancient world teeming with life. In more recent layers just above that point, signs of life all but vanish.
Somehow, most of the life on Earth perished in a brief moment of geologic time roughly 250 million years ago. Scientists call it the Permian-Triassic extinction or "the Great Dying" -- not to be confused with the better-known Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction that signaled the end of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Whatever happened during the Permian-Triassic period was much worse: No class of life was spared from the devastation. Trees, plants, lizards, proto-mammals, insects, fish, mollusks, and microbes -- all were nearly wiped out. Roughly 9 in 10 marine species and 7 in 10 land species vanished. Life on our planet almost came to an end.
Scientists have suggested many possible causes for the Great Dying: severe volcanism, a nearby supernova, environmental changes wrought by the formation of a super-continent, the devastating impact of a large asteroid -- or some combination of these. Proving which theory is correct has been difficult. The trail has grown cold over the last quarter billion years; much of the evidence has been destroyed. "I think paleontologists are now coming full circle and leading the way, saying that the extinction was extremely abrupt," Becker notes. "Life vanished quickly on the scale of geologic time, and it takes something catastrophic to do that."
