"Data's Head" artifact photographed on the moon
It was in studying this particular object more closely that Hoagland first spotted an even more bizarre discovery, laying on the crater wall beyond the "turkey." His eye drifted, as it always did, to that which did not belong in the picture. Even as he studied it, he couldn't quite bring himself to admit what it appeared to be. A human head. In a crater. On the moon...

Top medium quits saying, "I was deluded"
James Byrne's style of mediumship ensured "sold out" notices outside all the large venues at which he regularly demonstrated for almost 30 years. He even filled the London Palladium - following in the psychic footsteps of the late Doris Stokes. He made TV appearances, was a regular on radio phone-in shows, and wrote a book with John Sutton about his life and work: The Psychic World of James Byrne. He has shared the platform in Spiritualist churches and public halls with other mediums and has even been dubbed "the medium's medium". But those days are over. Incredibly, Byrne has not only turned his back on Spiritualism, claiming that he has been deluding himself and others, but intends exposing other psychics and their "tricks"...

Ghosts sought in Milford
A team of "paranormal investigators" will spend a night in three of the city's oldest houses, looking for evidence of restless spirits, apparitions and spooky sounds...

Ghost in the woods
This photo was taken 10/10/2006. We were doing some field work for an engineering study (at Uvalde Rd at US 90 in northeast Houston, Texas). A storm had just begun shortly after noon and rain was beginning to pour when we had to abandon our field study. Back at the office while reviewing the photographs taken in the field, we heard a scream come from our co-worker's office as she came across this photo featuring a ghostly hooded apparition. She and the rest of us who were present in the field at the time the photo was taken do not recall seeing anybody or anything in the trees that day. We felt this photograph warranted your attention...

Mystics can't stop mud
They've come from far and wide, hundreds of self-proclaimed mystics, psychics and spiritual leaders. But no-one has yet been able to stop the mud...

UFO flew over Riga
On 12th October 2006, at 17:51 the witness saw a cylindrical object slowly passing above the capital city of Latvia. The object was heading north of Riga. The object dimensions reminded a fuselage of a plane but without wings, tail and illuminators. The object surface was smooth...

The hum is back
What is causing the hum? Another mystery hum is driving people nuts, and this time it's in New Zealand-and, yet again, the locals have no idea that this is a worldwide phenomenon. Massey University researchers are investigating an unexplained hum that hundreds of people are reporting, but other people cannot hear. As usual with these hums, some people are actually being made ill by the incessant tone...

Mexico - witness watch four UFOs over Guerrero
For 20 minutes, four unidentified flying objects (UFOs) appeared over the city, traveling in a northeast to south direction as the sun shed its last few rays over the city, at 19:00 hours last monday, according to several residents...

22 fingers of 11 men lift heavy stone
A day before we went to the fabulous Ellora and Ajanta Caves in Aurangabad City, some five hours by car from Pune, India, our host, Ajay Mehta, told us about a heavy stone at the back of a Muslim mosque not far from Pune that can be lifted by 11 men, each using only two fingers. "I was about to ask you that!" I exclaimed. I read about this mysterious stone in a book on extraterrestrials a long time ago. That story was confirmed to me by a foreigner who saw the phenomenon himself...

Peeping "Uncle Harry"
It seems strange that an animal that supposedly is as shy and reclusive as the sasquatch would have gained the reputation for being a "peeping tom". There are numerous reports of sasquatches either observing people or looking in windows at people...

Cultural infiltration vs. cultural contamination and little green men
Like anything, like just about everything, UFO imagery has saturated pop culture. Some of it's good, some bad, a lot of it silly. A lot of it entertaining. Some of it even informative...
