A mysterious flying object caused a stir yesterday as it circled the Banffshire coast for over six hours. Villager Norman Defoe first spotted the aircraft at around 10am. He said: "At first I thought it was a jumbo jet, but after a look through binoculars I saw it was grey. It was going round in circles for hours, leaving a trail of vapour behind it. I was sure something must be going on”…
Revolutionary ghost
We were researching my ancestry at this obscure and very little known cemetery from the 1700's in Berks County PA. We took many pictures of the various revolutionary war soldiers and other graves. When we got home and downloaded the pictures I noticed something that I did not see when I took the picture. My girlfriend said she felt someone else was there with us. Maybe it's one of my relatives.... It sure looks like the form of a man to me by that tree. I did say out loud before taking any pictures "Show Yourself Now." Do you think this was a response? Weird!...

The “fairy door” phenomenon
For many, they are merely a passing flight of fancy, flittering about the childhood imagination and dissolving on impact into sceptical adulthood. Who in their right mind believes in fairies? Well, for fairy researcher Jonathan Wright, a 46-year-old storyteller and illustrator, and fellow residents of the quaint but quirky Michigan town of Ann Arbor (all of whom are in full control of their mental faculties), fairies are as real as the tiny doors that have been mysteriously popping up around town - numbering at least 20 to date…

Newmarket psychic lands a pilot on The History Channel
You know the feeling when you meet someone for the first time, and for some unknown reason, you just don't like them? Or, when you're standing in line at, say the grocery store, and a person walks up and stands close behind you, it makes you turn around and look? Though you did not see or feel them, you somehow knew they were there. The same thing happens when someone is staring at you. You can't feel them staring, but you sense it and look up anyway. John Holland, a Newmarket resident, best-selling author, and well-known psychic medium, says that is your "psychic antenna”…
