Black-Eyed Man at Walmart

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:53:25 -0500

"Several years ago, I was standing in line at Walmart in Webb City, Missouri, ready to pay for my purchases," Connie says. "I usually don't look around at others in line, but I had a very uneasy feeling and smelled a peculiar odor. I turned around and looked at a very tall man dressed in black. I looked at his eyes and they were completely black..." Was he just a weirdo who didn't use deodorant? Or was he something worse? Read the rest of Connie's story.

Child Ghost at Stanley Hotel

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 02:23:47 -0500

"I was at the Stanley on a ghost tour," says George. "I didn't notice it until I was on the plane home and zoomed in on all my Stanley pictures. I was shocked at first. At first I thought it was a dog, then after zooming closer, it certainly looks like an apparition of a little boy. If you look at the people on the ground they are so clear, when you look at the window it looks like a vision. You'll also notice there is no curtain or glass to distort the view; the window is open." See the photo in the Gallery.Child Ghost at Stanley Hotel originally appeared on About.com Paranormal Phenomena on Saturday, November 7th, 2009 at 00:12:40.

Is it possible to make a telepathic connection through psychometry?

Sat, 7 Nov 2009 04:42:39 -0500

"I printed a photograph of a person from the internet," says Jim. "I tried getting impressions and feelings. Sometimes the images are clear, other times they're fuzzy. Is it true that the person in the picture could sense that someone was studying their picture even though they are miles away? If you sleep with the picture under your pillow, would you make a psychic connection? Is it possible to make a telepathic connection through psychometry?"
Read the answer from psychometry expert, Becky Walsh.

THE LATEST LINKS: Easter Island, Witchcraft, Mirror Scrying

Some interesting links I've found this week:
� The Mystery of Easter Island - Where had the Islanders originally come from? Why and how had they built the figures? Modern science is piecing together the story, but it is far too late for the Easter Islanders themselves.
� The Male Witch - A male witch provides a lot of answers about modern witches, the religion of Wicca, covens, witchcraft and the purpose of practicing witchcraft.
� Scrying Using the Black Mirror - The black scrying mirror, or magick mirror, is a powerful psychic tool, this site says. It can bring the user hidden knowledge and clairvoyant ability and can act as a portal to other planes of existence.

COMMENT ON THE NEWS: "Scientifically Haunted House Suggests You're a Sucker"

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 23:57:34 -0500

Here's one for the "scientists jump to a very unscientific conclusion" department. Our recent news coverage noted an item from Wired magazine titled, "Scientifically Haunted House Suggests You're a Sucker." In an effort to debunk all ghost sightings, researchers at London's Goldsmith College constructed a room into which high electromagnetic fields and waves of infrasound were generated. Test subjects who were in the room reported sensations of "dizziness, tingling, disembodiment, dream-remembrance and 'a presence'."
And this is supposed to prove that the ghost phenomenon isn't real? It's an absurd conclusion -- or even suggestion. Yes, they were able so create some of the effects (sort of) that some people experience with a haunting. But that's like saying the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland disproves ghosts because they are able to effectively create the illusion of transparent, dancing ghosts right before your eyes. Simulating something doesn't mean that the real experience isn't real. It's worth noting, too, that no one in the Goldsmith experiment reported seeing an apparition.

Moreover, it's well known in paranormal research that electromagnetic fields can screw with your brain and can even cause hallucinations. Good investigators always look for sources of EMF to account for certain reports and rule them out. So, this experiment only proves what paranormal investigators have known for a long time, and adds absolutely nothing to the knowledge base of genuine paranormal phenomena. They have not proved or disproved anything new.

Whatever they are, they can be terrifying to those who see them, as you'll read in the frightening cases told here. In all of these encounters - including some in which these shadows have actually been felt - they seem to have intelligence and may even be following some mysterious purpose.

The Scariest Games

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:32:25 -0400

We don't usually think of games when we consider the paranormal. The paranormal is something to be investigated, researched and taken seriously, not trifled with in something as frivolous as what we'd consider a "game." We're not talking about the harmless games children play at Halloween or even the various paranormal-themed action and role-playing computer games available. We're talking about the games that are played in the dark of night that truly can be paranormal in nature and have unexpected, even terrifying results. Here are some of the scariest games for your paranormal parties.The Scariest Games originally appeared on About.com Paranormal Phenomena on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 at 22:36:04.

Ghosts and Poltergeists

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:16:41 -0400

"I was up around 2:30 a.m. in a darkened room, sitting on a couch watching TV, as I couldn't sleep," says Neal. "With nothing more than the emanation from my cathode-ray tube, from the corner of my right eye I saw a luminescent, free-form apparition enter from my bedroom, hovering about five feet from the floor. It moved with intelligent volition and stopped right in front of me from where I sat. It appeared, as best as I can describe, as a glowing smoke, moving quickly within itself...." For Neal, this was just the beginning of his ghostly experiences. Read the rest of his story.

Paranormal Activity - review

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 05:16:41 -0400

The big problem with seeing a mega-hyped movie a few weeks after it opened in the theaters is that it can never live up to those heaping piles of hype. I had that experience with The Blair Witch Project many years ago and again this past weekend when I finally got to see Paranormal Activity. From the way people have been talking about the film, rightly or wrongly I expected more from it -- specifically, more scares. It's not that the movie in completely ineffective, but it's certainly not effective enough as a ghost story to become a classic, as some have promoted it to be.

Lilly: The little ghost of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

On October 30, 2009, Zak, Nick and Aaron of the</em> Ghost Adventures television show (The Travel Channel) will be investigating the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia. As promotion for the live, 7-hour event, paranormal bloggers were invited to write a fictional story about one of the ghosts or gruesome events that took place at the asylum. I thought I'd give it a try. This is my story about the little ghost, Lilly.Lilly: The little ghost of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum originally appeared on About.com Paranormal Phenomena on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 at 22:41:42.
