A haunting night to remember: the historic National Hotel: Jamestown
Historic National Hotel in Jamestown Bobby Marchesso brought out what he calls the "Frank Box". It's a transistor radio connected to two speakers. When you ask a question, the search mode on the radio will tune into various words, in which the entity can use to talk with. We got all kinds of answers to various questions. Voices that said: yes, sure, Steve (many times), Bobby, Paul, poison, etc. We asked how the entity died and it says poison two times. The entity says Steve many times and the proprietor is named Stephen Willy. The entity calls out my name and calls out Bobby's name. It's an interesting tool and I want to continue using it, to better understand the methodology...

Mysterious “Jan Klement” story resurfaces
Loren Coleman: It is always good to kick up the dirt, so to speak, once in awhile, and put more eyes on a cold case. Yesterday, I revisited the misunderstood “Is Bigfoot Gay?” theme, which, once again, often has more to do with what people project on it than about the reality of the question. But in the midst of the mini-furor, I received what seemed like a good suggestion at the time to answer an old riddle. I thought perhaps the mystery had been solved in the long-standing enigma about the author of that infamous story about that Bigfoot who enjoyed some special time with a cow...

Ghost photo baffles experts
An eerie image of a figure at a Scottish castle has got ghost experts spooked. The scary shot was unearthed during the biggest ever investigation into photographic evidence of ghosts. The picture, taken in May last year, shows a spectral figure in fifteenth century dress peering out of a barred window at Tantallon Castle in Fife.

Third cattle mutilation found in county
A cattle was found mutilated on a ranch in northern Las Animas County last weekend, the third to be found in such a state this month. The mutilated cow was owned by Jim Garren, and found at about 1:30 p.m. March 21 by his ranch manager on Garren's land located about 12.5 miles southeast of Walsenburg. "Her udder had been surgically removed," Garren said. "And that's the extent...there wasn't any other trauma on the cow at all."..

The science of distant healing
There is much written about how our good intentions help others. But can your good intentions really reach someone who is not physically present, and how do we know this? In this column, I will present the current evidence that discusses this phenomenon and provide some explanations as to why distant healing has a place in modern scientific thinking...

Ghosts in the machine - with picture slideshow
When psychologist Richard Wiseman launched an online investigation into the photographic evidence for ghosts earlier this month, he never expected such an overwhelming response. The project – undertaken as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival and profiled exclusively in The Scotsman on 10 March – invited people to send in ghostly photographs for analysis and, once they were put up online, asked web users to vote as to whether or not they believed they were the real deal...

Déjà vu: Where fact meets fantasy
Mr P, an 80-year-old Polish émigré and former engineer, knew he had memory problems, but it was his wife who described it as a permanent sense of déjà vu. He refused to watch TV or read a newspaper, as he claimed to have seen everything before. When he went out walking he said the same birds sang in the same trees and the same cars drove past at the same time every day. His doctor said he should see a memory specialist, but Mr P refused. He was convinced that he had already been...
