Animals gone wild; end is near
It must be getting close to the end of the world, because the animals are revolting. Literally. The kitten with the two faces was what really got me worried that the end was near. Then I saw the picture of the duck with four legs. Then there's the python that ate an entire electric blanket, the circus kangaroo that escaped in Ireland and the police dog that ran over a pedestrian in a truck. Come on, something weird's going on here. It's like Marlin Perkins dropped LSD or something…

Starfire speaks: It's REAL magic
On May 4 on Dreamland, Whitley Strieber interviewed Starfire Tor, who claims many unusual experiences involving distortions of space and time. After the interview, Whitley and Anne Strieber had a small one, which they more-or-less attributed to being affected by the interview. But now they recently visited the Magic Castle in Los Angeles, a legendary magician's club, with her and magician Brandon Scott. At the Magic Castle, Anne had an experience of a 'timeslip' while actually with Starfire, and this one is getting harder to deny. Starfire promised to investigate and now she HAS and these are the results of her investigation…

And you thought your job stunk
"Do I have a story for you," the Caretaker whispers, as we make our way up the stairs. The sun spills in through the picture windows but the light is dim, bouncing off the starkly white walls of this sealed building. "This house is haunted." It had been owned by a reclusive Canadian painter who was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Last January, she just disappeared. "She was an introvert. She isolated herself from the world," he says, as we climb to the attic. "She lost it towards the end." Six months later, "the neighbours had picked up a really foul odour"…

A psychic checkup for a happier house
Most home inspectors deal with concrete stuff. Faith Ranoli does that -- and a little more. For her, "energy" isn't about how many electrical sockets are in a room. It's the psychic vibe a house gives off -- electromagnetic currents, subatomic particles and the thought waves from previous owners. It's all about whether the home is "happy." "[This job] is not so much about the money," Ranoli said. "It's more about healing the planet one house at a time"…

Small city is full of spooky ghost tales of the paranormal
When Susan B. Anthony was convicted of illegally voting in 1873, the statue of justice at the Ontario County Court House reportedly dropped her scales. To this day, the spirit of another 19th-century feminist is said to wander Canandaigua's railroad tracks, while the ghost of an early Masonic victim periodically pops up just about everywhere in town…

Mystery flying cryptid photo
Cropped and unidentified versions of the above photograph have been floating around the internet, sparingly. I noticed one used in conjuction with the Ropen press release. It clearly seemed out of context, but nevertheless worthy of further examination. Cryptomundo reader Brian Gaugler tracked it down to the ufocasebook.com files, and located the text of the who and the where behind the photo…

Searching for spirits
Go ahead and tell Sue Sereno your ghost stories - she'd love to hear them. The supernatural world has held a lifelong fascination for her, and she never tires of listening to tales of half-glimpsed faces in empty windows or mysteriously moving objects. Just understand that as a "ghost hunter," she'll have to remain a skeptic…

Tracks spotted on Clearwater Beach in the late '40s caused stir
Sixty years ago this summer, something scary happened on the beach. A monster emerged from the Gulf of Mexico and wandered around in the dark. The Clearwater Monster didn't hurt anyone, but left tracks, lots of them, discovered the next morning on the sand…
