Could a child's imaginary friend actually be a ghost?
Does your child have an imaginary friend? Maybe you had an imaginary friend yourself when you were a child. Psychologists will tell you that there are several reasons why a young one may concoct an imaginary friend. Sometimes a young child just needs to have a special friend. Their imagination is very vivid and can seem almost real to them. Sometimes they create an imaginary friend to keep them company and share their thoughts, someone who will always listen to them. In most cases psychologists are probably correct in their explanations...
DNA discoveries linked to paranormal?
As Prince Charles will tell you, talking to plants or playing them soothing music can accelerate their growth. Now comes news that suggests he was right after all. Scientists in South Korea claim to have identified genes that can "hear” and have discovered which sounds enhance the growth of plants...
Where are the orang dalam?
August is one of the most active months, from past experiences, for sightings and encounters with Malaysia’s Orang Dalam. By September, we usually have heard of what encounters have taken place over the summer. But where are the reports this year?..
Ufology and science
What is the relationship between ufology and science? “You get an ology, you’re a scientist”. So said the character “Beattie” in the famous 1980s British Telecom TV advertisement. That said, the scientific community clearly doesn’t recognise ufology as a legitimate part of science, standing in its own right alongside subjects such as biology or psychology. Some ufologists are scientists and some scientists are favourably disposed towards ufology, but generally speaking the scientific community regards ufology as a hobby, if indeed it pays the subject any attention at all...
Has a mythical beast turned up in Texas?
Phylis Canion lived in Africa for four years. She's been a hunter all her life and has the mounted heads of a zebra and other exotic animals in her house to prove it. But the roadkill she found last month outside her ranch was a new one even for her, worth putting in a freezer hidden from curious onlookers: Canion believes she may have the head of the mythical, bloodsucking chupacabra...
Paranormal sights and sounds make it come alive at night
Many flock to Jalan Bellamy for the Ikan Bakar while others may recognise the road as home to one of the country’s oldest international school, Alice Smith. “We moved in but for the next two-and-half years, we had a lot of problems, especially with servants who would just disappear in the night without even collecting their pay,” said Duckworth...
Mystic mentor
Ahura Z. Diliiza used to stop and tell strangers when he saw something funny in their aura, and he'd get angry if they didn't listen. Frankly, he came off as loony. He sees that now...
Crop circles have returned
Gail Michel is feeling a bit like she's come full circle after the province's first reported crop formation of 2007 was spotted in the same field on her family's St. Gregor area farm where there was a similar discovery two years ago. Her son Evan, 14, and husband Calvin were swathing when Michel got a cellphone call from her excited son. "'Mom,' he said, 'the aliens are back. Bring the camera out,'" she recalled in an interview Friday...
A new theory of ancient cities
Excavations at a 6,000-year-old archeological mound in northeastern Syria called Tell Brak are providing an alternative explanation for how the first cities may have grown. Archeologists have thought cities generally began in a single small area and grew outward -- but evidence indicates that the urban area at Tell Brak was a ring of small villages that grew inward to become a city...
Apollo 11 crew saw UFO
A statement on a new documentary on the Apollo 11 Moon missions has broken a long silence by United States Astronauts on the reporting of UFOs. The documentary quotes Buzz Aldrin as stating without reservation that the Astronauts saw a UFO that paced them for a time during their journey to the Moon...
Shadow World
Anomalist Books have just published a new edition of Brad Steiger’s Shadow World. This isn’t your average book on the spirit world. Nope: it also focuses upon “multidimensional beings” and the “Cosmic Trickster” element of the paranormal. In other words, it should be required reading not just for those with specifically “life after death” interests; but also for those who appreciate and understand that sometimes (and, actually, more often than many even realize) particular aspects of Ufology seems to inhabit this twilight realm too - such as so-called “alien abductions,” for example (in my personal view, at least)...
