Group seeks ghosts at house
Paranormal investigator Dave Sisk, left, and Bob Withrow search the Farnsworth House Inn in Gettysburg for the existence of spirits on Friday night. Sisk uses an Electromagnetic Field Detector to search for spikes that the group might debunk as a common electrical occurrence or something else. Brett Nease sits still in the formal dining room of Gettysburg's Farnsworth House Inn, the central silhouette among a dozen quiet shadows.

When dreaming is believing: dreams affect people's judgment, behavior
While science tries to understand the stuff dreams are made of, humans, from cultures all over the world, continue to believe that dreams contain important hidden truths, according to newly published research. In six different studies, researchers surveyed nearly 1,100 people about their dreams. "Psychologists' interpretations of the meaning of dreams vary widely," said Carey Morewedge, an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University and the study's lead author. "But our research shows that people believe their dreams provide meaningful insight into themselves and their world."..
