Learn Psychokinesis -- Your mind can affect matter, this article says, because energy follows thought. The interaction occurs between the energy you generate with your thoughts and the energy the object is made of.
The State of Paranormal Investigation -- What the paranormal field needs to focus on is not the skeptics and people who do not want to acknowledge the paranormal or question those who search for answers; rather it needs to focus on are things that are within our power.

The Curious Creature

26 Jul 2010, 5:03 pm

"The most terrifying event to happen in my life happened just five years ago," reports Sophie. "One late evening I was watching a movie in the living room with my parents. I needed to get something from my bathroom, so I left for a second. As I passed by my room, I realized the door was open and the light was on, but what really intrigued me was that I caught movement out of the corner of my eye. I approached the door to get a closer look. Sitting on my desk, going through my camera case, was this creature...." No, it wasn't a cute little mouse or chipmunk. Far from it.

There is an excellent new documentary program on the bio Channel called My Ghost Story. Credible people tell their true stories, accompanied by their own video, photos or audio documentation.

Finally, here's a paranormal show I really look forward to watching every week (Saturday nights). I highly recommend it. Read my full review.

Two new ghost photos

25 Jul 2010, 7:44 am

Two new photos, allegedly showing ghosts, appeared in the news this week. One was from a ghost tour of Mary King's Close in Edinburgh, Scotland. Actually the story presents two photos of two different tour groups, and supposedly the same blonde woman appears at the rear of both photos; they say she was not part of either tour group and therefore might be a ghost. There are a lot of things wrong with this allegation, of course: we don't know that it's the same woman (or that it even is a woman) and we don't know that the indicated person was not part of the tour group. Analysis of the photo as presented in the article is virtually impossible because it is too small and of insufficient resolution.
