New video game? Who you gonna call?

Deadpan, he dares you to take him seriously even as he seems to wink at his own torrent of outlandishness...

Yowie exclusive: “It was bloody scary!”
Loren Coleman: Two of my mates (Australian for “friends”) are all over the media today, in conjunction with Yowie news. Of course, a quick read of the media headlines out of Australia might make you think that Tim the Yowie Man (shown above, investigating) has gone mano-a-mano (Spanish for “hand-to-hand,” as in combat) with the Big Hairy Guys from Oz.

The Cara DeGregorio story: A haunting in South Sacramento
On another time Paul was sitting in the living room watching TV and felt a presence rush over to his side. He then heard the soft voice of a girl whispering in his ear.

When Paul left the living room to investigate if the baby was crying, he discovered that the baby was actually crying...
