Paranormal researchers examine the haunting legacy of Preston Castle
On Saturday night, massive winds raged across the hills as a dim procession of storm-flickered headlights crept up the driveway to Preston Castle. Under its Romanesque archways and blackened tower, a group of people hurried through the rain toward its front. With the palms curling and olive trees thrashing in the gale, they opened its 114-year-old doors to stare into a hallway of shadows. They were searching for a lingering presence. They were listening for the faintest whisper of the dead...

Oh water, where art thou?
The quartz crystal quivers, then leans ever so slightly, with no apparent sleight- of-hand direction from Dave Penney. Slowly, the pointed end of the crystal zeroes in on a blue pen mark scribed on a map. Penney is a picture of concentration, his hands clasped around a cord attached to the crystal. "It's moving on that one," says the 70-year-old retired motoring and ground engineer, under his breath. "See Johns Road? That aquifer is coming from a main artery here. What I have found with divining is the water is coming from the Antarctic, sourcing through the southern lakes."..

APRU telephone telepathy experiments

To the untrained eye it looks like an impossible tangle, but the Professor says it’s a machine for communicating with the dead. As the wind howls outside his lab, the physics professor tells me about the first message he received on his equipment: “A voice came through and said quite clearly ‘We are the dead. We are still able to think and speak.”..

A time traveler's 'dangerous information'
In 1981, Steven L. Gibbs, a farmer from Clearwater, Neb., received an interesting message – from himself. But this Steven L. Gibbs, he claims, was from another dimension and he had a diagram for a time machine called the Sonic Resonator. After building and testing the device, Gibbs, who now lives in Lyndon, Kan., renamed the improved device the Hyper Dimensional Resonator and began selling them...

Crop circles ~ hoax or are they messages from aliens?
David Slone: I have been to Stonehenge in England, with my ex-wife Patricia. As I stood there in awe, I could faintly hear my ex-wife say, "those are just a bunch of rocks, I don't understand the fascination, come on, let's go shopping in London!"..

"Lizard Man" returns?
After a nasty surprise Thursday morning for one Bishopville resident, she's wondering if the "Lizard Man" is back. Dixie Rawson of Bishopville sent WIS News 10 an e-mail about a big surprise she got at her home Thursday morning. "The whole front half of our van is chewed up. There are bite marks right through the front grill. Both sides of the van above the wheel wells were bitten and the metal is bent like a piece of paper." It reminded Dixie of the local legend of the "Lizard Man" that stretches back for decades...
