Hot for creature
Thirteen years ago, William Dranginis saw Bigfoot. Fifty grand, a van, and a camera in a log later, the quest continues. William Dranginis knows what you’re thinking, so maybe it’s best to get a few things straight right from the start. He’s not crazy, delusional, some lunatic on the fringe. For the most part, he’s your average suburban family man. Lives on a quiet street in Manassas. Has a great wife and two daughters; just became a grandfather. Has a good job designing surveillance equipment for the Windermere Group, an Annapolis-based technology firm that does contract work for the government...

Frank Girardot: psychic joins fray in Richter case
The investigation into the death of former Pasadena police Lt. David Richter reads more like a pot-boiler episode of a 1970s cop show than real life. Richter, 55, went missing from his Arcadia home just after Christmas. In March, his decomposed remains turned up under a freeway overpass in Irwindale. What happened in between is anybody's guess. Irwindale police initially labeled the death a suicide. Richter was found with a gun and likely died from a gunshot wound. That said, the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner has refused to classify the death, even though an autopsy has been performed and toxicology tests are complete...

James Van Praagh responds to Barbara Walters
On July 17's episode of "The View," Walters told the audience that when Van Praagh had been on the show the week before, he had warned her of possible health issues.

Canada circle in grasses and reintroduced wild prairie species
Although this very interesting formation was cut during the first week of July it was carefully documented photographically on June 29th by a local academic. His photos provide evidence of a very fluid ("like water rippling down a mountain stream") lay throughout the formation, a characteristic which is most distinct when formations occur in grasses, but which is also observed regularly in crop circles in other plant species...

Ghostbusters head for King's island
The ghostlike image that CCTV picked up floating over an eight foot gate in the direction of a side door to King’s Island Community Centre, requires a rational explanation, insist two Limerick politicians. Picking up on the story as reported in last week’s Limerick Post, Mayor John Gilligan said he has been told by people who saw the video film that they felt they were looking at "something very strange. "I would definitely like to take a look at it, but I have to say that I’ve never felt the place was haunted and neither have I ever heard unexplained noises or footsteps in the building, as others have claimed...

Ghost hunters gather in Fort Erie
Carol Taylor says she was just two years old when she started waking up in the middle of the night to talk to a female spirit. She said her parents never took it seriously until one day, when her father learned an older woman had died in the family's home before they lived there.

That's her earliest memory of communicating with spirits...
