'Noah's Ark' found in Turkey
The remains of Noah's Ark have been discovered 13,000ft up a Turkish mountain, it has been claimed. A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers say they have found wooden remains on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey. They claim carbon dating proves the relics are 4,800 years old - around the same time the ark was said to be afloat. Yeung Wing-Cheung, from the Noah's Ark Ministries International research team, said: "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it."..

Even police believed Loch Ness monster existed in the 1930s
From his office behind the sandstone ramparts of Inverness Castle, William Fraser could gaze down on the bubbling waters of the River Ness as it made its way to the Moray Firth. But the view gave him little solace. For in 1938, Mr Fraser, the new chief constable of Inverness-shire, had a monster of a problem on his hands, and it lurked somewhere in the murky depths at the other end of that seemingly tranquil waterway...

'More people than ever seeing ghosts', Says Britain's paranormal expert
Times may be changing, but the public view on paranormal and demonic activity is apparently not changing with it. A study has shown that many modern day Britons are as convinced as ever of the validity of satanic and ghostly forces in our world. The study, led by Lionel Fanthorpe and based off of records of alleged sightings, show that Yorkshire is the most common place where modern reports of paranormal activity are found. In that region, 74 reports have been made in 25 years, including ghosts, demons that feed on sexual energy (the succubus), and demonic possession...

Residents, investigators say ghosts hanging out near spirits
It all started with some surveillance video. Bar owner, Brent Aspinwall says it felt like someone tugged his shirt. A close-up of the image on tape, some say, looks like a person that they've named "Cowboy." There have also been other incidents. "I saw a figure by the dart board. It was quick and fast. It was an older man with dark rimmed glasses and a hat that snapped in front," said Penny Sorteberg, a resident of Gilby...
