Tracking the Werewolf

Werewolves

Many are only aware of the werewolf through films, TV and novels, but its tradition reaches back into prehistory. We spoke with Dr. Bob Curran, author of "Werewolves," a look at these creatures and the meaning they've held for us throughout the ages.

Some interesting links I've found this week:

  • Nasca: Spirits in the Sand -- They have been explained as roads, irrigation plans, images to be appreciated from hot-air balloons, and landing strips for alien spacecraft. Since 1997, however, a Peruvian-German research collaboration has been examining the meaning of the strange designs.
  • Learn Psychic Abilities -- This guide offers an introduction to the different ways you can practice and improve upon your psychic abilities, covering several different techniques.
  • Bigfoot and Its Many Faces -- This video presents an assortment of different Bigfoot type creatures and other primates that are mistaken for a sasquatch, plus a short clip from a 2009 search which included bows, structures and huts.

The Ouija Debate

Wednesday March 10, 2010
There's an ongoing debate about the powers and realities of the Ouija board. Essentially, there are three basic positions:
• It is inherently dangerous, can open portals to evil entities and should never be used.
• It is only dangerous if used with evil intent, but can be a useful tool for spirit mediumship if used properly and with good intent.
• It is inherently harmless and has no real powers of mediumship for good or evil; its effects, if any, are only psychological in nature.

Which is true?

Readers Respond: Is the Ouija board a harmless toy or dangerous portal?

Freaky Black-Eyed Man

Monday March 8, 2010
"My mom and I also saw a black-eyed man in Wal-Mart. It was in Eureka, Missouri; we live only about 10 minutes away," reports Tilted Halo. "It was last summer and we had been shopping and heading for the front to check out when this spectacularly tall man passed us going the other way. I looked at his face and freaked out because his eyes were all black...." But that wasn't he only thing weird about this guy. And the sighting was followed up by something suspicious. Read the rest of the story.
