Crystal power

A ghostly presence walks Quamichan Inn
The stately Quamichan Inn near Duncan today looks much as it did when it was built in 1911. And it's no wonder, with a ghost floating around who doesn't like change. Someone tried to move a chair once in the lounge, but Mrs. Adams put it back where it was. Adams is a former owner of the place and died decades ago, but a ghostly presence that resembles the old Scot lets it be known to inhabitants that everything should stay put...

Follow the ghosts
Covent Garden Underground: Late-night Tube riders say they sometimes see a theatrical performer - murdered by a rival in 1897 - standing on the Covent Garden platform. He wears a hat, gray suit and gloves and waits patiently for the train he always took home to Putney...

Stick formations -- evidence, or mental Lincoln Logs?
Researchers in the field have been finding interesting stick structures in areas where bigfoot sightings have been reported. Are these structures associated with bigfoot, or is it a case of the mind simply creating something out of nothing?..

Great Lakes ghosts
More like inland seas than lakes, the Great Lakes of North America are among the most treacherous bodies of water in the world. Terrible seasonal storms batter ships that choose to sail the lakes at the wrong time of year. These great gales, called the Witch of November, have claimed many lives and ships over the years, the most famous of which was the Edmund Fitzgerald in 1975. Strange things happen on the lakes that are unique to them, and sailors have long told stories of ghost ships on the great lakes in the same maritime tradition of the salt water ocean...

Bigfoot and the repugnance of truth
Like everyone, I'm guilty of not wanting to accept certain possibilities. For instance, is it possible that Oswald shot JFK from behind, despite the exit wound being on the back of our fallen president's head? Is it possible, that on 9/11, World Trade Center Building 7 could collapse like a controlled demolition despite not being hit by a plane? Is it possible that George W. Bush was legitimately elected president in 2000?..

Bigfoot or big story?
Robert Olson said he and others have discovered plenty of large footprints in Northeastern Minnesota’s forests. Footprints of Bigfoot...

Real-life ghostbuster to tell of paranormal experiences
Lorraine Warren sees colored lights around people. Warren and her late husband, Ed, built their abilities into a cottage industry. The Warrens made a career out of evicting demons from so-called haunted houses and giving speeches to university students. On Wednesday, Warren, who lives in Connecticut, will be at the University of Texas at Arlington to tell ghost stories...

Reincarnation provides the answers, suggests Norman Mailer
American literary giant Norman Mailer, now 84, has expanded further on his belief in reincarnation – a subject already covered in these columns. He does so in an extraordinary new book – On God – which takes the form of a dialogue between Mailer and one of his literary executors, Michael Lennon...

“Second Sight” transcends simple ghost stories

A person could develop occult
There must be a rational explanation for all the supernatural phenomena on television. There must. Because it is weird, and even a little freaky, that so many shows this season prey on the paranormal. Vampires have day jobs as detectives, store clerks reap souls for the Devil, reporters time-travel to get their stories straight, cheerleaders walk through fire and people of all kinds talk to dead people, sometimes quite chattily...

Spirits move us

HauntedRealEstate.com
It wouldn't be Halloween without a haunted house or two and a Silicon Valley real estate agent has developed a virtual subdivision of homes from hell for your devilish delight. Mary Pope-Handy, a real estate agent with Los Gatos, CA-based Intero, launched HauntedRealEstate.com two years ago to display her penchant for things that go bump in the night...

Sympathy of souls
Telepathy – more often known, today, as ESP - is thought of as the most common of all paranormal phenomena. Yet, at the same time, it is also one of the most problematic, in being contrary to what science tells us about mind and the universe. To science the mind is disconnected from other minds and the universe. Hence, any ability for mind to mind contact is impossible. The nearest such instant communication will come is, they advise, text messaging...
