Third man theory of otherworldly encounters
Charles Lindbergh felt it. During that first solo, non-stop transatlantic flight in 1927, the aviator, flying just above the ocean, was desperately struggling to stay awake. Twenty-two hours into the trip, he became aware of vague forms aboard the Spirit of St. Louis. They offered reassurance and discussed navigational problems. They stayed with him until he spotted the Irish coast, and Paris was within reach...
Super Bowl XLIII field RNG demonstration
In this post, I provide a basic summary of the procedures, statistical analysis, and predictions to be used for the planned Super Bowl XLIII field random number generator (RNG) demonstration at Public Parapsychology. The methods follow those used in my previous Super Bowl field RNG explorations (coming in Part Three), and are closely modeled after those developed by the PEAR Laboratory for use in their field RNG studies (Nelson et al., 1996, 1998), and by the Global Consciousness Project for individual event analysis (Bancel & Nelson, 2008; Nelson, 2001)...

The Hexham Horrors
Nick Redfern: On December 10, 1904, a startling story appeared in the pages of the English newspaper, the Hexham Courant. Under the heading of Wolf at Large in Allendale, it read: "Local farmers from the village of Allendale, very near to Hexham, had reported the loss of their livestock, so serious that many sheep were being stabled at night to protect them. A shepherd found two of his flock slaughtered, one with its entrails hanging out, and all that remained of the other was its head and horns. Many of the sheep had been bitten about the neck and the legs - common with an attack made by a wolf."..
Mothman, puppet wolves and the Nunahee
Regan Lee: In Andrew Colvin's The Mothman's Photographer III, he mentions entities that visited him when he was a child: All I had ever been able to remember was some scurrying activity in the room while I was asleep, perhaps by some small, furry creatures akin to the Cherokee "Nunahee" or Hawaiians "Menehune" (note similarity in names.) But it all seemed so dream-like I never thought it was real...
Video: The Herald investigates mystery growl church near Ware
Trepidation and excitement gripped me as I saw a narrow bridleway leading to my destination, an eerie church tower looming above a distant copse. The ruined church in Thundridge has been attracting attention of late, with two reports in as many weeks of bizarre and menacing growling noises emanating from the decaying tower, off Cold Christmas Lane...
Sightings show spirits do exist say Cumbria ghost hunters

The photographs were taken by a member of UK Ghost Hunters, during a midnight vigil at the antiques shop at Brougham Hall, near Penrith. Medium Chris Conway started the group to investigate the most haunted spots in Cumbria and south-west Scotland...
Exorcist being summoned to drive away 'ghost haunting a British hospital'
Authorities of a British hospital are summoning an exorcist to drive away the ghost that is supposedly haunting the premises. It is a brand-new £334million Royal Derby Hospital, but the staff claim to have sighted 'a male ghost' several times and hence are unnerved. There is speculation that the figure could be a Roman soldier killed there as the old Derby City General Hospital was built in the 1920s over part of a Roman road...
Something wicked this way flaps: anomalous bats and cryptozoology
In May of last year, motorists in Washington County, Pennsylvania traveling along a major route suddenly pulled over to watch what many described as a "huge dark-colored flying creature" flying low as it passed over the cars. Prolific researcher Stan Gordon noted at his website how witnesses to the event agreed that the creature looked "more like a giant bat than a bird."..
Peruvians walked their prayers into the earth
The ancient, intricate geometric patterns stamped on the surface of a desert in Peru have long been thought of as messages to the gods, or as markers that tracked celestial objects. Now new details about these geoglyphs suggest they may have been made for "prayer walking". The Nasca lines are a collection of lines, giant trapezoids, and figures of humans, plants and animals in a desert 400 kilometres south of Lima, Peru. They were created between 400 BC and AD 650 by the removal of reddish oxidised stones from the desert pavement to reveal the lighter sand beneath...
