"In 1993, I moved to Finsbury Park, London," writes The Cockney. "I used to walk along Gloucester Drive on my way home from work at approximately 1 a.m. One night I heard light-sounding footsteps on the other side of the street. It sounded like someone was in a hurry. The street was well lit, but I could not see anyone. Then these light footsteps crossed the street in front of me and seemed to go into a front garden of a house alongside me. I heard the breaking of twigs on the ground leading toward a hedge. Then the hedge began to shake a lot in one particular area, like whatever it was had been passing through the hedge...." That was just the beginning of The Cockney's strange experience. Read the rest of the story.

On July 10, 2009, The History Channel aired a two-hour documentary on the prophecies of Nostradamus and how they might relate to 2012. It was the latest in a growing heap of information, theories, fears, warnings, enlightenment and anxiety about the year 2012. Why do so many believe that 2012 will bring about great change on the Earth? What will really happen? Here's my view.

Bob writes: "One day I was home cleaning a wall underneath a bay window. I was in a crouching position as I was scrubbing the wall around a receptacle with a cleaner and a dry cloth. The next thing I know was that I was in another location standing up and looking down at a clipboard. I was wearing a lab coat and was standing in front of three huge wire coils. I looked down at the clipboard and thought to myself, 'I know these formulas,' Then I thought of where I came from, and still kind of felt I was at home at the same time. I really didn't get any thoughts or memories of the person I apparently was looking through. I didn't feel as if I was in another time, just a jump to another location. Is it possible that scrubbing the wall around the receptacle could have caused enough static electricity to make this happen? Obviously it has to do with electromagnetism because of the coils I saw. Was it remote viewing? And if it was, why do you think I was projected to that exact place? Or was I sent to a parallel life. What do you think happened?"

Bob, this is a very interesting and peculiar experience. There are several possibilities as to what might have caused it. Let's look at the more prosaic (and most likely) explanations and then consider the paranormal.... Read the rest of my answer.

"This is a photo of my aunt's wedding day," says Liz. "The year was 1942, and the photo was taken with a box camera. On some of my feedback I'm told it's not really there! Well, I know it is. This picture has been passed down. I would like too see what everone thinks. It was taken in Jasper, Alabama." So is this a trick of light, a clever hoax or a genuine ghost? Go take a close look and decide.

Larry King and CNN solve the controversy surrounding the alleged "ghost" of Michael Jackson videotaped at Neverland Ranch. They say it's the shadow of a worker walking in front of a light. Go watch.

Amazing new photos have been added to our growing gallery of "The Best Ghost Photos Ever Taken," including "The Phantom Pilot," "The Watcher" and "The Tewin Bury Farm Ghost," which in my opinion may be the best ghost photo taken in recent years. Go look.
