Spirits in Ontario Museum Speak to Researchers

For all you nay-sayers, there may be some basis to the notion that Owen Sound's Billy Bishop Museum is haunted.

Recently, a team of paranormal investigators set up camp in the museum to see if they could record evidence of anything out of the ordinary.

Museum Manager Mary Smith says investigators from Jeff's Paranormal in Barrie caught three apparent E.V.P.'s or audio recordings of unexplainable voices.

Smith says one appears to be a loud exclamation or shouting that no one noticed during the crews set-up process.

Another recording was unrecognizable.

Smith says the investigation included a psychic who picked up on a visiting male spirit who was looking for someone named "Paula".

She says while the psychic was investigating, the word "Paula" can be heard whispered.

Smith says the crew recorded everyone's voices connected to the investigation in advance so they could be eliminated from suspicion.

The crew was unable to capture anything on video.

She says the group will return in September with more of its members, and another event will be held in December when members of the public can take part.

Paranormal Activity in Arkansas Capitol Building Under Investigation

Voices so faint they can’t be heard with the unaided ear. Floating orbs with cometlike tails.

A paranormal investigative group that spent eight hours poking around the state Capitol on Saturday night says it’s convinced that the seat of state government is, well, haunted.

“We’re still reviewing, but there’s something paranormal in there,” said Alan Lowe, 55, of Roland, a co-founder and the investigation director of Spririt Seekers, a group dedicated to finding the supernatural side of the Natural State.

About 7: 30 p. m., Capitol police opened the otherwise closed building to eight group members, who spent the next eight hours snapping photos and recording video and audio all over public-access areas of the building, which was completed in 1915.

Using sensitive audio equipment, the group asked questions and then waited for 30 seconds.

“To give [the ghosts] a chance to respond,” Lowe explained.

One questioner asked if any nearby spirit had been a senator, Lowe said.

“Real lightly and faint in the back, you hear ‘No, ’” Lowe said.

Another tape picked up a “grunt” and something whispered “Edward” when asked his name, Lowe said.

Ghost-busting the Capitol has been on Lowe’s to-do list since he and his dad were accidentally locked inside while viewing the Christmas decorations there about 45 years ago.

He didn’t see any ghost then (“ I was just scared, ” he said ), but another visit on a slow weekend day a decade ago yielded an apparition walking up the steps to the House of Representatives. The ghost turned and tipped his hat, Lowe said.

Spirit Seekers is still analyzing its data, including video. Some photos appear to show floating balls of energy called “spirit orbs,” Lowe said.

It’s not unusual for groups to request after-hours use of the Capitol, said Natasha Naragon, a spokesman for Secretary of State Charlie Daniels, who is in charge of the building.

“But this is the first time in institutional memory that we’ve had this type of request,” Naragon said.

Daniels’ off ice gave the green light to the group. It didn’t require any extra manpower or other costs. The Capitol is staffed around the clock with officers from the state Capitol’s own police force, Naragon said.

Spirit Seekers Paranormal Investigation Research and Intervention Team isn’t the only outfit that has been drawn to the Capitol. Movies have been shot there, one of which involved letting motorcycles rumble over its floors. A rocket was even fired at the dome, leaving a black smirch and then-Secretary of State Bill McCuen with a political hotfoot.

Lowe’s group has investigated paranormal activities around the state, according to the group’s Web site, www.thespiritseekers.org.

“Where the Here & the Hereafter Meet !” proclaims Lowe’s business card. The group also solicits donations on its site.

Capitol police officers said the Spirit Seekers quietly went about their business.

The group searched all the public areas in the 247, 000-square-foot building, but the heavy marble rendered their radios useless.

Before the Capitol was built, the state’s first penitentiary occupied the grounds and Lowe said he was intrigued of reports of prison ghosts wandering the building.

No felonious phantoms were detected, though. And the tale of a woman who wanders the halls in a wedding gown remains a ghost story for now.

His group broke up into teams of two to conduct the search.

“We always go out in twos,” Lowe said. “For safety.” From the ghosts ?

“No, what if you went out by yourself and fell down ? Who would help ?” Lowe said. “The ghosts here are real Caspers.” Naragon, whose office is in the basement, said she hasn’t noticed any spectral signs.

“There’s a lot of strange activity, but none of the paranormal sort,” she said.

NASA Expert Claims Alien Came Onboard Space Shuttle

NASA veteran Clark C. McClelland confirms alien existence as outlined by astronaut Edgar Mitchell

I, Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, personally observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET on his 27 inch video monitors while on duty in the Kennedy Space Center, Launch Control Center (LCC). The ET was standing upright in the Space Shuttle Payload Bay having a discussion with TWO tethered US NASA Astronauts! I also observed on my monitors, the spacecraft of the ET as it was in a stabilized, safe orbit to the rear of the Space Shuttle main engine pods.

I observed this incident for about one minute and seven seconds. Plenty of time to memorize all that I was observing.

IT WAS AN ET and Alien Star Ship!

A friend of mine later contacted me and said that this person had also observed an 8 to 9 foot tall ET INSIDE the SPACE SHUTTLE CREW COMPARTMENT! Yes, inside OUR Shuttle! BOTH missions were DoD (Pentagon) TOP SECRET (TS) encounters!

With my verifiable background, there is no Federal Government Agency that can say I am crazy!

I am a SPACE PROGRAM PIONEER. I assisted in launching the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Apollo-Soyuz, Skylab, Space Shuttle, Deep Space Missions, and the International Space Station.

I have received character substantiation from: Walter Cronkite, Major Donald
Keyhoe, NICAP Director, Richard Hall, Assistant Director of NICAP, Astronomer, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, etc. I served as the Assistant State of Florida and KSC Director of MUFON, the Director of the NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) at Cape Canaveral and KSC! I have received honored mentions from US Senators, Congressman, Military Officers and Scientists. (See my website site below for more exciting disclosures)

In fact, this absolutely verifies what my friend, Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, of Apollo 14, has recently and courageously released!

I have launched or witnessed 650 missions, so far in my life!

I am an expert in visually recognizing any crafts created and flown by the human race, whether secret or otherwise!I know an ET and Alien craft when I see them!

I was the Director of the NICAP Unit-3 actual X-Files at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, 1958 to 1992! YES, the ACTUAL X-FILES!! Aliens ARE HERE!! They walk among US! They may be implanted into OUR various earth governments!!

What I know, they would NOT allow me to publish! I have written at least three books to release the TRUTH to all of the HUMAN RACE! I was on the leading edge of this subject, and I have met with many NASA and other astronauts throughout the years I have been involved in the Military, NASA Space Programs, 1958 to 1992! I have heard many experiences of ETs having been seen on the Moon, etc., by NASA Astronauts and I relate these and more in my books.

NASA is not a CIVILIAN SPACE AGENCY! The Pentagon owns NASA! Some of the DoD (Department of Defense) missions I participated in were TOP SECRET! Those missions carried TS Satellites and other space mission hardware into orbit where several crews met with ETs! I am ready to tell my story, but, for compensation,

Clark C. McClelland,
former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet,
Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

Clark McClelland is a bonafide expert in the field of UFO specialists. He began his investigations of this strange phenomenon in 1947. His 60 plus years of study in the field of UFOlogy puts him in a unique class of educators and investigators.

He has lectured at many national universities including Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State, Berea, Montana State University, New York University, Idaho State, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and others too numerous to mention. On several occasions, he was requested by students and faculty to bring his unique topic to their campus as an elective course, although his work at Kennedy Space Center at the time overruled his acceptance.

Clark McClelland's long association with the UFO phenomenon has followed him throughout his aerospace career. In 1958 he was assigned to the national space program at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and helped launch or viewed 650 rockets and spacecraft. In addition to being an Aerospace Engineer and Technical Assistant to the Apollo Program Manager during the Apollo moon landings, McClelland and other SpaceCraft Operators did extensive technical checkout of simulated flights and mission objectives of the various shuttles to assure orbital success and the personal safety of the astronauts. McClelland knew many of the astronauts who perished during the Challenger disaster and certainly did all he could to keep each shuttle from such a repeat accident. He has held important positions involving such manned projects as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo lunar landings, Skylab, the Space Shuttle and the Space Station. He was assigned to the cockpit of the Space Shuttle missions as a SpaceCraft Operator (Ground Test Astronaut). If anyone knows what is going on in space, with humans or otherwise, it is McClelland

In 1960, Major Donald E Keyhoe, the International Director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) selected McClelland to be Director for the Kennedy Space Center and central Florida region. His unit members included two NASA Astronaut Flight Surgeons, many engineers, scientists and mathematicians as consultants and investigators. Later, he was chosen as the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Director at the KSC and served concurrently as Assistant State Director for Florida.

Strange Hominid Sighting Reported Near Red Lion, York County, Pennsylvania - July 18, 2008

I received a telephone call today from a woman who claims to have seen a small bigfoot-like creature on July 18th, 2008 near the town of Red Lion, Pa. She stated that she had been shopping and was on her way home. As she was driving south on Rt. 624 about 2 miles from Red Lion, she noticed something running across a field near a home construction site. At first, she thought it was a large dog but it stood upright like a human. She pulled her car into an unfinished side road and observed the creature for several minutes as it would stop, look around, then continue running until it reached a small woods. She states that it was around 7PM in the evening and clear.

She described it as stocky with muscular arms and legs and no more than 4 foot in stature and sparsely covered in dark gray hair. It had no clothes though she could not determine the gender. At one point, she says that she was near enough to notice the head was smaller than that of a human child of the same height. She said that only one other person (a neighbor) was told of this sighting and that she did not want any notoriety. Her only reason for contacting me was because she had seen my blog and that I lived nearby (about 50 miles south in Baltimore) and thought I may want to check the area out for myself.

Note: She only gave me the name 'Macy' as a reference (I assume this is not her actual name) and refused to disclose her address and other personal information. There have been Bigfoot sighting reports in this area of Pennsylvania in the past as well as in neighboring Maryland. This very well could have been a juvenile Bigfoot. There have been local and Indian legends of a small hominid (the Albatwitch) in Lancaster and York Counties which I have detailed below.

UPDATE: This is a plea to 'Macy'...since I have posted this, I'm sure you have read it. Please contact me. I have further questions that I feel you can answer. I promise not to ask personal questions and that your privacy is assured.

The 'Albatwitch' is a small (about 4 feet tall), manlike creature which supposedly lived in wooded areas. Their main area of residence seemed to be near Chickies Rock, a heavily wooded area along the banks of the Susquehanna River about a mile or two north of Columbia, Pa. Albatwitches were also reported from wooded areas all along the river's shore.

The creatures are named for a habit which they possess. Their bizarre common name is short for "apple-snitch", as they are reputed to have a taste for apples. Legends speak of how the albatwitches would oftentimes steal apples from picnickers, occasionally even throwing them at the startled people. Legends also record that the creatures often sat in trees, coming down only to find food.

Legend also says that the albatwitches either became extinct or were driven nearly into extinction in the later years of the nineteenth century. Chickies Rock, where the creatures supposedly lived, does have a tradition of strange sights and sounds - in the 1950s and 1970s, a manlike figure was seen several times, and local legends also speak of sounds like the crack of a whip heard in the woods at night. One can only wonder if these could be connected with the albatwitch.

Whether these stories are connected or not, several sightings of Sasquatch-types have been recorded from this area. A vague report concerning the sighting of a hairy humanoid came from Lancaster in 1973. Lancaster is a scant 10 miles east of Columbia. Another came from the town of North Annville (about 20 miles to the north) in the same year. In addition, a number of reports have surfaced out of neighboring York County.

Also, some sources say that the Susquehannocks, like many Indian tribes, had a belief in an apelike monster, and sometimes depicted it on their war-shields. The Susquehannocks were a local tribe - coincidentally, major evidences of their civilization (ruins of a village and burial grounds) were found at the base of Chickies Rock.

Monkey From Mars: A Georgia Crime Lab Oddity

Other museums might have more or flashier items to display. But only the mini-museum of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation can boast of possessing such an other-world oddity as the monkey from Mars.

The bureau's state crime lab lobby has its requisite displays on forensic science, including an illegal moonshine still and the microscopic fibers that solved the 1981-82 Atlanta child murders. But tucked away in a glass cylinder are the preserved remains of a monkey that three pranksters passed off as an alien 55 years ago in a UFO hoax that drew headlines worldwide.

At the height of UFO hysteria then sweeping the nation, two young barbers and a butcher took a dead monkey in 1953, lopped off its tail and applied a liberal dose of hair remover and some green coloring to the carcass.

Then they left the primate on an isolated road north of Atlanta in the pre-dawn hours of July 8, 1953, burning a circle into the pavement with a blowtorch before a police officer came around the curve in his patrol car.

"If we had been five minutes earlier, we would have caught 'em in the act," said Sherley Brown, the officer who happened on the scene.

The barbers, Edward Watters and Tom Wilson, and the butcher, Arnold "Buddy" Payne, told the policeman they came upon a red, saucer-shaped object in the road that night. They said several 2-foot-tall creatures were scurrying about and the trio hit one with their pickup before the others jumped back in the saucer and blasted skyward — leaving the highway scorched.

Brown took down the strange account and filed a report at police headquarters before going home.

Soon after his shift ended, he said, "the phone started ringing off the hook."

"They had the Air Force and everybody else trying to find out about it," said Brown, since retired in 1985.

Word of the discovery spread like wildfire.

Just the night before, some Atlanta area residents had reported seeing a large, multicolored object flying in the sky. A veterinarian who examined the corpse said it looked "like something out of this world." A newspaper put out an artist's drawing of the saucer that the men described.

But within hours the monkey business unraveled.

Dr. Herman D. Jones, the founder and director of the GBI lab, and Dr. Marion Hines, an anatomy professor at Emory University, examined the creature that evening and proclaimed it to be a hoax.

"If it came from Mars, they have monkeys on Mars," Hines was quoted as saying in an article at the time by The Associated Press that is set beside the monkey in the appointment-only museum.

Where the men got the monkey is not clear. Watters, Wilson and Payne eventually admitted to the hoax and Watters paid a $40 fine for obstructing a highway.

As for Jones, his name is now on the GBI crime lab as the man who introduced modern forensic science to the state.

Note: I wonder if the 'Bigfoot from Atlanta' ends up in the Georgia Crime Lab as well?

Video: UFO Crash in Vietnam Still a Mystery

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam still has not released any further information on the May 2008 UFO crash since the initial video of the wreckage. A video of the craft falling to earth was leaked about a month ago and has recently been verified as actual footage of the UFO in question. Hopefully, the western nations and/or scientists can convince the Vietnamese government of the importance of sharing any information that they have collected.

Unknown Creature Washes Ashore at Montauk Island, New York

Something strange has washed ashore at Montauk Island, New York.

“This is an actual monster, some sort of rodent-like creature with a dinosaur beak. A tipster says that there is ‘a government animal testing facility very close by in Long Island,’” says Gawker.com in a posting for Tuesday, July 29, 2008.

We'll keep an eye on this one. Hopefully there will be some disclosure soon.

Newfoundland Motorists Report Roadside Apparitions

If you are out in your car exploring the countryside this summer, keep your eyes peeled. If you are lucky, you might spot some of Newfoundland's roadside phantoms.

I recently got an e-mail from Charles, whose family had a run-in with a phantom on the road when he was a boy.

"I was young, probably around nine or 10," says Charles. "I asked my brother about this recently and he said he remembered it as well. He is four years older than I am. I remembered the community and my brother remembered the exact spot it had happened."

The sighting took place in Boyd's Cove in the middle of the day,

"An old man was crossing the road in front of the vehicle in front of ours," says Charles. "My parents, brother and I were driving down the road and an old man started slowly walking across the road."

The driver of the vehicle ahead of Charles and his family did not seem to see the old man and did not slow down one bit.

"They just kept on driving while the man kept slowly walking further out into the road," remembers Charles. "The vehicle narrowly missed the man, and he didn't flinch one bit. When we passed him we turned around to look behind us and he had disappeared. "

"Everyone in our vehicle saw it," he states.

Another roadside ghost has been reported at Burnt Islands Park, located to the east of Port aux Basques. One driver saw the figure of a man rush out of the brush and across the road, waving wildly for the pickup to stop. The man put his foot to the brake and slowed down the vehicle, amazed at the sight the figure presented. The hitchhiker was dressed in normal man's clothes, but on his head he was wearing what looked like an old pail, with eye holes cut out to allow him to see.

There are actually two slightly different versions of the ghost of Burnt Islands Park, although in both versions the man is not named. In the first version, the hitchhiker is the ghost of man who once lived in the area. Each time a car would pass along the spot the man's spirit was said to haunt, the ghost would leap out into the middle of the road. In this version, the ghost was said to wear a bucket on his head.

If the car stopped, the phantom would ask for a ride. Sensibly enough, most passers-by would decline, and speed onwards, leaving the ghost standing on the side of the road. This haunting was repeated many times, until one day the ghost vanished for good. Either the spirit got tired of being denied a ride, or else someone finally did stop who did not mind a ghost as a passenger.

The second version of the story offers a little more detail about the ghost's origins, and is also slightly more sinister. According to that version, the ghost was the spirit of a local prankster, who liked to play tricks on whomever he could. One night, the joker decided to scare people driving near Burnt Islands Park. He hid himself back out of sight, off the road, and pulled on a mask. When a car approached, the masked man darted out onto the road, running across it and terrifying the poor driver.

The prankster did this a couple times, scaring a different carload each time. However, on his last fateful attempt to play this trick, he miscalculated his nearness to the car, and the automobile struck him down.

After his death, the man returned to the spot of the accident, appearing in spirit form and still wearing a mask. It is said that if you drive past the location, you can see the ghost of a man with a mask. Good Samaritans beware, however, for the legend says that if you stop, the ghost will get you.

Nothing Better Than a Traditional 'Belly Button' Festival

It was belly-up for thousands of people who indulged in a weekend of navel gazing at a festival dedicated to the belly button in central Japan.

Children and adults, many of them sporting painted stomachs, took part at the annual Belly Button Festival in Shibukawa, north of Tokyo, where dancing in the streets is compulsory.

"The belly button is traditionally believed to be located in the middle of the body and the most important part. Our town, Shibukawa, is also called the belly button of Japan, and that is how this festival began," said festival organizer Kazuo Yamada.

The festival is based on a traditional Japanese form of entertainment where revelers paint a face on their torsos and stomachs and pretend it is a head.

A kimono is then wrapped around the waist and the person's real head is hidden by a large cloth hat. The belly button is traditionally painted into a mouth.

These days, modern motifs and Japanese anime designs have crept in to the festival, which city officials said is all about having fun. The only thing festival-goers take seriously is dancing: participants sashayed through the streets of Shibukawa for over two hours in the sweltering heat.

New UFO Mystery Surfaces in the Mojave Valley

A large object with a turquoise hue plummeted out of the sky earlier this summer and plowed into the earth south of Las Vegas near Needles, California.

Eyewitnesses say this was no meteorite, especially since a bunch of helicopters came looking for it and then hauled it away.

The object was seen in the early morning hours of May 14. It appeared to crash into the ground just west of the Colorado River. And that's when things got interesting for residents of the area.

Somewhere in the rough terrain just west of the Colorado River and south of Needles is a point of impact, maybe some burn marks, created by something that fell from the sky. Frank Costigan saw it because he got up at 3 a.m. to let his cat out -- a fiery object that flashed across the sky, but it wasn't a meteor he says.

"It was bright, bright enough that it illuminated the ground," he said.

For seven years, Costigan worked as the chief of airport security at L.A.X. He says the mystery object flew out of the north east, heading southwest, traveling very fast, but at one point it slowed down, then sped up again.

"It went behind a hill, and I waited to see if I could hear it crash because as big as it was, it was bound to make noise," he said.

But he didn't hear a crash. Hours later, David Hayes, the owner of KTOX Radio in Needles, was coming to work when he spotted an odd formation of dark vehicles getting off the highway. He drew a picture of the lead vehicle, a large truck with a dome on top and a black structure that reminded him of a stealth fighter.

"It seemed like it was some kind of surveillance vehicle -- four-wheel drive. It had government plates, U.S. government plates and behind it were a couple of vans that looked like support vehicles," said Hayes.

The men inside had a military bearing, Hayes said, but weren't in uniform. He made eye contact with one of the drivers and the guy followed him. Later in the day, one of the vehicles was parked outside the station, seemingly conducting a surveillance of the place.

"These guys staring you down had a 'Men in Black' feel to it?" asks Knapp.

"Absolutely. Very serious, serious as a heart attack," said Hayes.

Coincidentally, Costigan, the ex-cop, works on investigations for Hayes. When he came in to the radio station, he told Hayes about the thing he had seen in the sky, and Hayes told him about the Men in Black.

Then they got another piece of the puzzle -- a call from a man who lives in a houseboat on the river, who said he saw the fiery object -- that it had crashed about 100 yards west of the river, that it landed with a thump. Hayes says he's known the witness for years by the name Bob on the river. Bob thought a plane had crashed and tried to call 911 but his cell wouldn't work, so he moved his boat out into the river, and then heard the helicopters.

In an interview with journalist Linda Howe, Bob says he saw at least five helicopters flying in formation, including a large sky crane. The crane picked up the oval shaped object, still glowing, and flew away, heading in the direction of Las Vegas. One odd detail, the choppers arrived only 17 minutes after the object crashed. He described it to Hayes.

"It was about the size of a semi-trailer, he says, oblong shaped thing," said Hayes.

Out of the blue, the station got a call from a friend in Laughlin who said the Laughlin Airport had been inundated on the night of the crash with so-called Janet planes. That's the airline that flies workers to top secret Area 51. Costigan says the airport could not confirm this because no one is on duty after 6 p.m. at night, not even in the tower.

The black vehicles have left Needles. Bob the houseboat guy can't be found either.

"The fact that there were people here the next day, it was almost like they were doing some sort of cleanup or whatever. The point is, something definitely happened.

The I-Team phoned nearly every agency we could think of to see if they had received any report or knew anything. We were not surprised to learn that no one knew anything.

Here's the list -- police agencies in three states, the Laughlin Airport, the weather service, the FAA and several military bases.

A military watchdog group found a public record showing there was at least one army helicopter in the air in that area at that time. The helicopter, oddly enough, is listed as being attached to a U.S. base in Europe.

We are filing freedom of information requests and will report back when we get responses.

Woman Claims She Was Abducted By Aliens Near Mount St. Helens

Joy French is fully aware that it sounds a little far-fetched to say that she might have been abducted by an alien near Mount St. Helens more than two decades ago.

But since she began hosting UFO meetings in April 2007, she has seen and heard so much evidence of extraterrestrial encounters that she wishes she had spoken up earlier. Now the energetic octogenarian devotes her life to opening closed minds.

“We are the only country trying not to tell the truth about UFOs,” she said. “The government is not being honest with people.”

French, 84, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, will host a meeting for believers in UFO sightings — and those who want to believe — at 7 p.m. Friday in the Cowlitz County PUD meeting room.

French lived in Longview from 1965 to ‘67. In the early 1980s she was staying in a small trailer on Lake Merwin. A friend camping in the area, Don McMann, called her on the CB radio and invited her to watch a video with him.

Most of that night is a blank. She remembers starting to drive downhill to his trailer, and the next thing she remembers is being a passenger in her car, with him driving.

“I’m an independent person,” she said, so being a passenger made no sense to her. “I usually drive my own car.”

She doesn’t recall watching the movie. She said neither of them drank.

This took place around 10 or 11 p.m., in the thick darkness of a mountain forest. Suddenly the sky lit up as bright as daylight, and her 1966 Cadillac stopped dead.

McMann, a mechanic, hopped out and lifted the hood. He checked the engine and shrugged.

“There’s nothing wrong with your car,” he said. He slammed the hood, and the car started.

“That’s the last thing I remember until the next day,” French said.

In the morning, she called McMann on the CB and arranged to meet at the community kitchen.

“I told him, ‘What happened last night, that’s what happens when a UFO’s around,’ ” she said. “He said, ‘I thought of that, too.’ ”

They never spoke of it again, nor did they mention it to the other campers at Merwin because they were afraid of ridicule.

“Now I wonder if the others saw and didn’t tell,” she said.

She believes the light came from a spaceship, and that she and McMann were taken into the craft and examined. Their memories of the incident were erased before they were returned to her car, she believes.

McMann died in 1998. A couple of years ago, French, now living in Idaho, discussed the incident with a childhood friend — and discovered the friend once saw a UFO when she was picking huckleberries.

“The government told her never to speak of it,” French said.

She has read numerous books about extraterrestrials, met investigators and scientists and heard many people share their experiences, including Gloria Hawker, author of “Morning Glory,” an account of being impregnated by an alien.

“Some of this stuff blows my mind,” French said. “It’s kind of hard to swallow.”

She’s positive she didn’t have the same experience as Hawker.

“If they took me and checked me out, they probably threw me back because I had a complete hysterectomy and I’m no good to them,” she said.

French believes extraterrestrials have been visiting Earth for centuries, citing the Egyptian pyramids as one example of their work. She also believes aliens can be credited with the world’s rapid advancements in technology during her own lifetime.

“I can’t believe the government is still covering up,” she said.

She thinks extraterrestrials want to save our world.

“I don’t think they want to hurt us. I think they want to save us from destroying our planet,” she said. “Or pick us up after we destroy it.”

She understands that many people are afraid to come forward and admit they believe in UFOs. She offers her meetings as a safe place to learn more.

“People with closed minds never learn a thing.”

Yeti: New Evidence Found

It is right up there with the Loch Ness monster: the subject of claimed sightings, passionately promoted by believers, dismissed by the scientific community. But now experts say they have found the best evidence to date that the yeti might – just conceivably – be real.

Tests at Oxford Brookes University on hairs which local people believe came from a yeti in an Indian jungle have failed to link them with any known species and are said to bear "a startling resemblance" to those brought back from the Himalayas by Sir Edmund Hillary half a century ago.

Ape expert Ian Redmond, who is co-ordinating the research, said: "The hairs are the most positive evidence yet that a yeti might possibly exist, because they are tangible. We are very excited about the preliminary results, although more tests need to be done."

The two short hairs – 33mm and 44mm long – were picked up in thick forest in the Garo hills in the mountains of north-east India five years ago after a forester reported seeing a yeti – locally known as mande barung, or "forest man" – for three days in a row breaking branches off trees and eating their sap.

The hills are one of several places in the world where similar creatures – Bigfoot in the US, the sasquatch in Canada, the sajarang gigi in Indonesia, and the yeti in Nepal – are part of local legend and from where occasional sightings are reported.

After being brought to Britain, the hairs were magnified up to 200 times, and one of them was cast in varnish to make a better two-dimensional image. They were then compared with hairs from animals known to live in the hills. "We fully expected them to come from a known animal," said Mr Redmond. "We failed to find that. So the mystery remains and we go on to the next stage of investigation."

The hairs will now be examined under an even more powerful microscope and sent to two different laboratories – in Oxford and Cardiff – for DNA testing. Follicles containing cells remain on the base of the hairs, said Mr Redmond, "so there is every chance that we will be able to get even closer to the truth".

If DNA analysis cannot identify the creature, it should be able to work out what it is related to, he explained. "It could easily be an unknown primate, even if it is not a yeti."

People in the Garo Hills believe that the yeti exists, and there have been repeated reported sightings of the creatures and their footprints, including by such famous mountaineers as Lord Hunt, who led the Everest expedition.

Georgia Bigfoot Claim: 'Body Was Accidentally Found'

Rick Dyer of Forest Park, Georgia from Bigfoottracker.com claims that the Bigfoot body in his possession was accidentally found in the deep woods approximately 7 miles from a road.

On the Squatchdetective.com radio show on July 28th, Dyer explained that it took 6 people 1 1/2 days to drag the 8'8", 600lbs. corpse to a vehicle. He refused to disclose the gender of the creature. Dyer also stated it was found in early June and assumes it had been dead a few days. As well, he mentioned that the Bigfoot is being stored in a 10 ft. freezer.

Dyer also claimed that other 'live' Bigfoot creatures were observed in the same area where the body was found and that he has photographs.

Listeners were allowed to field questions.

Dyer said that at least one researcher had refused to believe his find and that the YouTube campaign was started in order to belittle other well known cryptozoologists.

Ask what the creature looks like, Dyer answered that it looks 'more human than ape' and that he seeked legal counsel in order to copyright photographs. He states he already has a buyer who has offered $10 million.

Dyer did say that he never believed in Bigfoot and didn't research the creature before he stumbled across the body.

Dyer claims that the proof and evidence of their find will start being released to the public on September 1st, 2008. The attorney handling Dyer's affairs in this case is Monroe Ferguson of Ferguson, Ferguson & Morris, P.C. of Jonesboro, Georgia.

Investigators: 'Steve Fossett May Have Faked His Own Death'

Fossett, a friend of Virgin boss Richard Branson, and the first man to fly non-stop round the earth in a hot air balloon, went missing last September when his final flight in a light plane over the Nevada desert went missing.

However, Lieutenant Colonel Cynthia Ryan of the US Civil Air Patrol has said Fossett, whose body or plane was never found, could still be alive.

She said: "I've been doing this search and rescue for 14 years. Fossett should have been found.

"It's not like we didn't have our eyes open. We found six other planes while we were looking for him. We're pretty good at what we do."

Fossett's disappearance sparked the biggest search in American history, with the Civil Air Patrol's Black Hawks, fitted with infra-red technology, joined by over 30 private planes and internet experts scanning the Nevada desert looking for clues.

Lt Col Ryan believes Fossett may have faked his own death due to personal problems or fears about his business dealings.

There are also a number of anomalies that question whether Fossett's plane ever crashed.

Only one witness, a pilot at hotel magnate Barron Hilton's flying ranch near Reno, claims to have seen him take off that day.

That witness claims Fossett asked him to prepare the plane for take off, even though he had never allowed anyone else to do this before.

Fossett also apparently claimed he was going to scout for locations for a land speed record attempt, but he supposedly took off with no emergency equipment.

The choice of plane was also a baffling one - a Bellanca Citabria Super Decathlon, which, according to risk assessor Robert Davis said was constructed from a steel and wood frame, but actually covered in fabric, making it easy to dismantle.

Davis conducted an eight-month investigation for insurers Lloyd's of London, said to face a £25 million payout on Fossett's death.

He said: "What I've strived to find out is what happened to this man in the run-up to his disappearance, why did he disappear?

"I spoke to reporters who were on the scene, people who were helping out with the search efforts, anyone whom I thought could shed some light on this.

"I discovered that there is absolutely no proof that Steve Fossett is actually dead. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I'm a man who deals in facts, and I don't really care if he is alive or dead, it make no difference to me.

"What I am interested in is the truth - and a proper criminal investigation of this man's disappearance was never undertaken by law enforcement or officials in the state of Nevada."

Washington Attorney Claims He Knows Identity of 'D.B.Cooper'

An attorney who is writing a book about the D.B. Cooper investigation claims the legendary hijacker who vanished from the back of a passenger jet with $200,000 in ransom in 1971 survived and returned to his life as a college instructor in Ogden.

Federal investigators are aware of the claim and are treating it like more than 1,000 other leads they have checked out over the last 36 1/2 years. They're skeptical that the late William "Wolfgang" Gossett pulled off the heist many others have claimed to but were found to be hoaxes.

"There is not one link to the D.B. Cooper case other than the statements (Gossett) made to someone," said FBI Special Agent Larry Carr, who is overseeing the Cooper investigation.

The Standard-Examiner reported in a story Sunday that Gossett told his sons and a few friends that he was the illustrious Cooper - who investigators believe didn't survive the parachute jump over the Pacific Northwest in November 1971 but have never been able to prove it.

Galen Cook, a Spokane, Wash., attorney who has been investigating the Cooper case for more than two decades, said he has submitted a fingerprint of Gossett's to the FBI's Seattle field office and hopes it will confirm his theory, which he plans to publish in a book.

Gossett had military experience, including wilderness survival, and looked like the FBI composite sketch of Cooper, Cook said.

"He had the opportunity, talent and motive to carry out the crime," Cook told the Standard-Examiner.

Gossett died in 2003 at the age of 73. His son, Greg, still lives in Ogden, where he said his father told him on his 21st birthday that he had hijacked the plane, then revealed to his son two keys to a safety deposit box at a bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, where the money was stored.

"He said that I could never tell anybody until after he died," Greg Gossett said.

Kirk Gossett, another son, says his father also told the story several times.

"He had the type of temperament to do something like this," Kirk Gossett said.

After a career in the military, Gossett worked in the early 1970s as an ROTC instructor and military law instructor at Weber State in Ogden. He also worked as a radio talk-show host in Salt Lake City, where he moderated discussions about the paranormal.

While Carr was doubtful that the fingerprint and hair samples Cook has from Gossett would prove anything, the FBI has heard tales that were more far-fetched.

"Everything about the case is just bizarre," Carr said.

Private Disclosure: Astronaut Ellison Onizuka's Alien Encounter

by Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, Kennedy Space Center, Florida (1958-1992)
Artist credit of eyewitness account: R. Schmidt

Prior to the fateful launch of the space shuttle Challenger on January 28, 1986, I had the honour and pleasure of sharing conversations with several members of that crew.

During one of many pre-mission preps for the Challenger mission, I came upon Lt. Col. Ellison Onizuka in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at launch complex 39. I had an assignment to assess some problems at the Launch Control Center (LCC) and needed to access the main drawing files. A file operator was there and I went to her for assistance. Ellison walked in on our conversation and we exchanged greetings. Jokingly, I asked him if he had important business with her, and he said "yes, Clark" with a big smile. I told her to help Lt. Colonel Ellison first, and I would wait. She opened a plastic bag that had a packet of goodies for this very important customer. Ellison "loved" those chocolate-peanut butter brownies that she baked for him when he was at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on training assignments.

Many astronauts at the KSC knew of my interest in the study of possible Extraterrestrial (ET) intelligence, and my association with Major Donald Keyhoe, Dick Hall and the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP since 1958), and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), at Cape Canaveral and KSC.

Another evening while off-site, I once again accidentally came upon Ellison. He asked if I could give him an opinion regarding a topic that was sparking his curiosity. Ellison had a great interest in ET life and asked me my belief concerning aliens, and if I believed they have been here on earth? His question caught me by surprise.

As we walked slowly towards our destinations, I briefly explained what I had learned since 1947, the initial year I entered my UFO research. I briefly related what I knew regarding the Roswell case and that I had become more aware of it many years later at the Cape through several discussions with ABMA (Army Ballistic Missile Agency) personnel who were at White Sands Proving Grounds near Roswell, New Mexico in July, 1947. These men had worked directly with Dr. Wernher von Braun and his team of German Scientists who were at that base at that time. Onizuka said he was aware of that case.

I then told him my belief that life does exist among the stars and that it has visited earth throughout human history. He smiled in agreement. I thought to myself, what else does he know? Soon it became very clear.

Onizuka asked me if my surname had any connection with McClellan Air Force Base in California? I said not as far as I was aware. I asked him why? Ellison said he had a surprising experience along with other USAF aerospace flight engineers and pilots while on military training duty at McClellan AFB, about eight or nine years prior to his astronaut training.

He and this group were at this base for specialized training when they were directed to report to a viewing room. As they were seated, the room darkened and a movie began without the usual official introduction by a USAF officer.

They were all startled when a view of a facility similar to a medical examination room appeared on the screen and small bodies were observed lying on slabs. He heard several excited comments by the other officers seated near him. The small, strange looking creatures were humanoid in shape, and appeared similar to those described by alleged witnesses at the well-known Roswell site in the Southwest USA in 1947. They all had large heads, large eyes, slight torsos, arms, and legs. They did not appear to be of earthly origin.

Ellison then said, " Clark, my God, these highly trained officers and I were shocked by what we saw. We were not made privy to what we would see until it happened. We were all caught off guard. Perhaps it was a test of our psyche to determine our overall reaction. Well, we were all caught by surprise ".

Needless to say, I was also caught off guard hearing this revelation from a highly intelligent USAF officer and NASA astronaut. One who flew his initial space mission 51-C in the space shuttle Discovery a highly classified U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mission under top secret conditions. It made me wonder what else Ellison knew, or perhaps had seen, during his first shuttle mission and USAF career?

I said "that’s amazing, Ellison! Were all of you given any opportunity to question what you saw?" He said, "No! We were then asked to exit the room and continued our scheduled technical activities as if nothing special had occurred. In my opinion, I have considered the possibility that the group was evaluated for individual reactions to what they saw. Perhaps it was a planned USAF psychological test for military reasons. Who knows, NASA may have evaluated it in my selection as an astronaut in 1978. You know, what would my reaction be if I actually saw an alien being"?

We arrived at our separate building destinations and briefly discussed his approaching second space mission in Challenger 51-L. He said he was anticipating a successful flight with Judy Resnik, Christa McAuliffe, and crew. I asked if we could discuss this topic again; and he agreed.

Unknown to us both, this would be the last time we would speak. He, Judy, Christa and the other crew members would be making their final mission on January 28, 1986. I was at the Kennedy Space Center and watched in disbelief as they and space shuttle Challenger fell into the Atlantic Ocean.

Upon leaving KSC for the night after being on duty for about 15 hours, I was driving home to my Port St. John Apartment when the disaster finally caught up with my emotions. I pulled to the side of the main NASA causeway crossing the Indian River and sobbed my eyes out for about ten minutes. God, how horrible it was, and still is to this day, in my memory.

God bless you Judy Resnik, Ellison Onizuka, Christa McAuliffe, Dick Scobee, Michael Smith, Gregory Jarvis and Ronald McNair. Thank you God for the honour of knowing all of them. And, please, if you would - - - make sure Ellison gets those chocolate-peanut butter brownies up there in heaven.

Wernher von Braun: What He Knew About the Roswell UFO Crash

by Clark C. McClelland - Former ScO, Space Shuttle Fleet, Kennedy Space Center, FL 1958-1992

In 1947, a controversial event took place in New Mexico near the town of Roswell. The "Roswell Incident," as it has come to be known, remains the paramount case in UFO crash/retrieval history. In addition to the claims of a downed alien ship, alien bodies were said to have been recovered from the debris.

The United States Air Force (USAF) and U.S. Federal Government have kept a steadfast opinion that the object in question was a high altitude balloon project, code named: Mogul. The project was designed to detect nuclear blasts in the USSR. The bodies that were recovered, according to the USAF, were parachute test dummies that had been released high above the desert, and had eventually drifted into the "balloon" crash area. The USAF finally settled on this fabricated version of events and passed it off to the American public as truth.

During my long years of service in our national space program, I was very fortunate to come to know and exchange some very exciting data with former German scientists, who had been brought to the USA under Operation Paper Clip following Word War II. These men were the elite of the German rocket programs controlled by Adolph Hitler. On many occasions I had the distinct privilege of speaking with Dr. Wernher von Braun, the leader of the elite group, and several other scientists who were assigned to the ABMA (Army Ballistics Missile Agency) launch crews at the Cape Canaveral launch sites. Eventually, these same men were incorporated into the new National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) organization. During the periodic MFA (Manned Flight Awareness) meetings that were held at Cocoa Beach, I was able to talk freely and briefly with such scientists, particularly Dr. von Braun.

On one such occasion, he and I had taken a break and stepped out of the Cocoa Beach Ramada Inn into the back patio. I admitted that I was aware that he and his German Scientific team were located not too far from the crash site at that time. They were launching captured V-2 rockets from the White Sands Testing Range. On this night, I asked him a question concerning the Roswell Incident that caused his eyebrows to raise.

Did the Roswell Incident in fact happen, was an alien craft recovered along with alien bodies? Did you have a chance to go to the crash site?"

Dr von Braun was a cigarette smoker and he lit one up. He thought for a second, then proceeded to talk freely about his inspection of the crashed craft.

He trusted me to hear such astonishing events because I vowed to not report it to newspapers, magazines, television, etc. I never broke that vow. Since he is deceased, and the incident happened over fifty years ago, I am now disclosing what I heard. I have a right to speak about anything - even things that, according to certain agencies, "do not exist."

Dr. von Braun explained how he and his (unnamed, for now) associates had been taken to the crash site after most of the military were pulled back. They did a quick analysis of what they found. He told me the craft did not appear to be made of metal as we know metal on earth. He said it seemed to be created from something biological, like skin. I was lost as to what he indicated, other than thinking perhaps the craft was "alive."

The recovered bodies were temporarily being kept in a nearby medical tent. They were small, very frail and had large heads. Their eyes were large. Their skin was greyish and reptilian in texture. Dr. von Braun said it looked similar to the skin texture of rattle snakes he'd seen several times at White Sands. His inspection of the debris had even him puzzled: very thin, aluminium coloured, like silvery chewing gum wrappers. Very light and extremely strong. The interior of the craft was nearly bare of equipment, as if the creatures and craft were part of a single unit.

That's when I became lost in the moment. We returned to the awards ceremony, in which he participated, later bidding farewell. I went home with my head spinning from all I had heard. Keeping this quiet for many years was very difficult, especially with the temptations of having many friends and associates who believe in UFOs, ETs, etc. I never released this amazing data to Major Keyhoe and NICAP, or the public, until now. I considered my honor sacred when a vow was made.

Article author's note: This amazing interview with Dr. von Braun is only one of many events that I personally experienced as a space flight pioneer at Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, from 1958 to 1992.

Amazing Crop Circle Near Ashbury, Oxfordshire - July 27, 2008

From Stuart Dike: On viewing this extraordinary formation from the air, it is clear that its the second formation to have the largest amount of circles since Milk Hill in 2001, 241 in total. (73 main circles with 168 Grapeshot Circles) Also the alignment with Wayland Smithy is also fascinating, as I am sure part of the arms of the Cross are on a major Ley Line axis which cuts through the corner of Wayland Smithy (not a direct alignment through the ancient Burial Chamber).

UFO / OVNI Video: Pulsating Cylinder - Vernon, British Columbia - July 25, 2008

Report: It was July 25th, 2008 around 10 pm, it was a cylidrical light that dramatically changed colour and flashed intensely. Witnessed by myself and three other guests at the motel where I work. I tend to go outside and look each night since I started seeing them once and a while from May onward. Basically, I could not see an object, other than a upright cylidrical looking flashing - multi coloured light. Its legit, and very real - and its not moving irratically - thats me trying to get a good shot - but twice I was able to get a fix, and you can see the speed as it slowly moves from left to right, and then it vanished shortly after this vid. It has been around before - and flashes in the sky like a police car

The Phantom Horses of Windsor Park

I've often been intrigued by reports of phantom animals, especially horses when they are seen to be leading a carriage through some misty backroad of a night. What perplexes me most is the fact that if inanimate objects have no souls, then why should the coach appear alongside the horses? And, if the horses never died together or with the coach, then why should they appear coupled in the ethereal void? Have there ever been sightings of a stagecoacch drawn by nothing, or spectral horses drawing an invisible carriage? It seems not.

The huge gates of Black Horse Yard, at Windsor, are situated on the main Windsor to London road, which is flanked by houses built during the eighteenth century. It is here that one particular apparition is said to appear, ominously before the death of a monarch. A ghostly coach, and horses, is said to roar from the shadows where an old inn used to stand, and gallops towards the Windsor Park gates at great speed. Of course, no-one knows where the procession goes because it often fades into the gloom of night before its destination.

Rumour has it that the phantom carriage, pulled by two magnificent black horses, also consists of a third ghost, that being of a royal physician who was tending to King Charles II before his death. Although no relatively modern sightings of the spectral coach have been reported, its last appearance certainly suggests that, as a spirit, it is indeed an omen of death, because it was Edward VII who appeared gravely ill the last time the manifestation took to the streets.

However, this leaves the researcher with many unanswered questions. Does the spectral coach, the horses and the ghostly physician display some kind of intelligence beyond the comprehension of science and understanding? Or is the spooky scenario simply a continuous playback, embedded in the fabric of time to forever play back when a tragedy is about to strike?

These type of hauntings may suggest a mere recording of a past event, but if so, how on Earth does an historical gaggle of ghosts know when someone is going to die?

Whatever your belief, these historical enigmas continue to operate outside of their own timeline suggesting something, possibly in the human brain, triggers their existence.

Cattle Mutilations Reported in Rosario del Tala, Argentina

"I am advising you of the mutilations that occurred in Rosario del Tala approximately between July 12-13. Two cows are involved; the mutilations took place in 2do Cuartel (area) at Rosario del Tala, Entre Rios Province, at "Campito Chanar I" belonging to ASEBEL, S.A. The dead animals were found by the foreman, Mr. Juan Ramon Carballo, 61, and were approximately 30 meters away from each other. The discovery was made last Monday and the event probably occured on Saturday night. The Aberdeen Angus specimen displayed mutilations to its tongue, ears and cervical tissue; the Black Pampa specimen exhibited a mutilated anus and sexual organs; also missing were the left eye, udders, tongue, left side of the jaw and chin.
"I visited the site on Tuesday the 15th and on the 16th it was possible to reconnoiter the property. Photographs and video recordings were made. Possible deterioration of the solar panels that feed the "Boyeros" system was in evidence, but this should be left to the expertise of persons knowledgeable about said systems. My apologies for the delay [in reporting this].

Last June 2007, the following was reported from the same area:

A cattleman from Maciá showed his concern when he found one of
his cattle "mutilated, with perfect incisions." As reported by
Canal Once, this event is disquieting because similar cases have
been reported in the area.

Alfredo Crettaz, a cattleman from the town of Maciá in the
department of Rosario del Tala, Entre Rios, was "visibly
concerned' by the strange appearance of a seven or eight month
animal found dead. "The perfect cut on the jaw is striking," he
says, alarmed, and describes that "the animal has its entire
nape of the neck peeled off, the tail completely peeled," he
stressed in the report offered by Canal Once in Paraná during
the Semanario Entererriano de Noticias broadcast.

Crettaz suggested that "it wasn't possible that the animal was
sick, "because he fell in this place and what is strange is that
other creatures haven't come to feed off of it."

Cretaz found the animal during the first days of the week and
according to him, "this is the first time that this happens in
this field." The countryman made this clarification because
similar cases have been occurring in the region and cases with
similar characteristics continue to repeat over and over. In
mid-May of this year, a Hereford cow was found in Macià by
Moises Enrique, its owner. In early June 2007, Felipe Weber,
another local rancher, found a dead cow with the typical
characteristics of mutilations: extirpation of genitalia, jaw
muscles, eyes, tongue and udders. Weber had also experienced a
similar occurrence a year earlier.

"Those who have seen this do not know what it could be," said
Crettaz, looking at the animal and unable to dismiss his
amazement in the interview with the Semanario Entreterriano de
Noticias. He said that a local vet told him, after seeing
similar cases, that it could be "an instance of sudden death".
Faced with this, Crettaz did not doubt that it could've been a
case of sudden death because "the animal fell dead and was
stayed there." He added, however, that "the animal looked
somewhat flayed - that's what doesn't make any sense."

As a farmer, he dismissed the possibility that "a red-muzzled
mouse" could've been the cause of the death.

The strange factor in mutilations are the nature of the
injuries: The cows had perfect, cauterized incisions on their
heads and bodies, their tongues and saliva glands had been
removed, and their mammary glands, rectums and large intestines
were missing.

St.Petersburg, Florida Night Spot Where Spirits Remain

A dead man greets visitors to Dave's Aqua Lounge, a nice spot for booze, blues and, maybe, a haunting. • Inside the front door, local music legend Rock Bottom extends an inviting hand and harmonica — in a nicotine-stained photo taken shortly before his death. • Hang around to hear tales of more departed regulars: Groper Man (yes, he was a frisky one) chain-smoked and drank too much straight V.O. at that corner spot at the bar, where a plaque salutes his memory. Big Butt Bonnie died in a car crash. Crazy Chris' aching jaw turned out to be mouth cancer. Boxcar Bob should've quit drinking earlier. Blues musicians Diamond Teeth Mary and Hollywood Dave visibly wasted away over years of stage performances.

"We've seen a lot of people pass through these doors," owner Dave Mamber Jr. says. "Then they pass away. That's what people do.

"Sometimes we're lucky enough to collect a bar tab before they go."

After closing, while Mamber, 57, counts the day's receipts, he occasionally wonders if he's really alone.

Doors open. Bottles faintly clink. Mamber glimpses shadowy movement on the feed from a dance floor security camera, or the storage area outside his office. But nobody's there.

Mamber wonders if his bar is haunted. Maybe a dead regular looking for a nightcap, or one of the prostitutes who used to hook fishermen and Derby Lane gamblers in the 1930s when the place was called Bucket of Blood, before Mamber's late father bought the business. Maybe Dad is checking on his son.

"You really have to be careful talking about this stuff," Mamber says. "People will think you're a little off, or: 'Hey, buddy, you been drinking again?' "

• • •

Sure, it's easy to laugh. But Mamber might have more sympathizers than he knows. Think of all the people who are alternately terrified and entertained by ghost stories, and all who find comfort in the possibility of the hereafter.

Authors from Homer to Shakespeare to Stephen King have relied on ghosts to advance plots. Movies as heartwarming as Field of Dreams and as frightening as The Shining include visitors from beyond the ether. The paranormal is an enduring television staple, from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir to Medium and The Ghost Whisperer.

People want answers that aren't readily available. Many of us like believing another realm exists beyond this one, where we can be reunited with loved ones. Is it so hard to understand the appeal of seeing a beloved friend again without leaving the known world?

Enter the Tampa Ghost Watchers, an all-volunteer paranormal investigation club combing Dave's Aqua Lounge in search of the unknown, armed with video and still cameras, digital recorders and electromagnetic meters.

By day, club president Bill Sharpe runs an online marketing company and publishes the Davis Islands Community News. By night, he's a ghost watcher, collecting data and poring over the results.

"People don't realize how time-consuming this is," Sharpe, 55, says after arriving at Dave's, located on Gandy Boulevard, one steamy July night. "We're going to be here probably three hours tonight. That means around 300 hours of time invested back into finding what we've got. A month from now we'll still be digging through stuff we find tonight."

Sharpe's group boasts better than 100 members, who have searched a Cedar Key lighthouse and homes from Lakeland to Savannah, Ga., hoping to brush the other side.

Ghost Watcher Mike Burton, 59, of Tampa, a Vietnam veteran and former police officer, says he's had paranormal experiences — occasional apparitions and voices — since age 3.

"A blessing or a curse, whatever you want to call it," he says.

Burton's preferred Ghost Watching tools are his instincts and brass dousing rods, thought by some to detect water, minerals and supernatural energy.

He aims them like pistols at the dance floor, after sensing a spirit dressed in a natty white suit and Panama hat, emerging from mist and quickly disappearing. The rods don't move. Other Ghost Watchers poke cameras and recorders at the spot.

Later, in the storage area where Mamber has seen shadows move, Burton stops abruptly. He doesn't want to walk through an invisible force he has detected. The name "Margie" or "Marge" whispers in his head, he announces.

"Margie, if you're there, move the rods to the left," Burton says.

Both rods slowly swing left, though Burton's hands do not move.

"She's right here in front of us. Now cross them for me, Margie."

The rods form an X. Again, without any perceptible movement by Burton. Then the rods straighten and Margie is gone.

Mamber walks in, and Burton asks if he knows anyone named Margie or Marge. Yes, about 15 years ago there was a bartender named Margie, a sassy 50-something bombshell who died of cancer.

"I haven't thought of her in years," Mamber says. "She was with us for a long time."

"She's still here," Burton says. "She looked pretty good for an elderly dead lady."

Pat Linse thinks paranormal investigations are subconscious bunk at best, scams at worst. Not surprising, since Linse is co-founder of the Skeptics Society in Altadena, Calif.

"Who is to say what an indication is of a ghost?" Linse, 60, says during a telephone interview. "Who decided what method proves there's a dead spirit floating around?"

Hundreds of supernatural events are submitted to the Skeptics Society for vetting each year. UFOs, miracle drugs, you name it. Paranormal inquiries usually top the list, so Linse is familiar with Burton's dousing rods technique.

"It is what's called the ideomotor effect," she says. "Making small movements without actually knowing you're making them.

"There are good reasons why people think there are ghosts, but they're largely psychological.

"Sometimes people want something to happen so much that they'll make it happen."

Sharpe is no stranger to doubters.

"Even if I caught a ghost someone wouldn't believe it," he says. "There is no sure, pure thing. If there was, wouldn't we really know already that ghosts are out there?

"I've experienced paranormal things. Can I convince you that it's true? Maybe, maybe not. It doesn't matter. It all comes down to belief."

Two weeks after the Dave's Aqua Lounge investigation, Sharpe passes along three photos showing glowing orbs near the bar counter. Later, Linse says such images are common, and usually caused by reflections. Ambient noise makes the audio practically useless. Burton's visions and dousing rods are the best evidence that the nightclub is haunted.

Mamber doesn't know whether to believe the photos, the audio, the rods, the visions, all of it or none of it. But he's enjoyed the evening, sharing his place and memories with the ghost hunters. He closes the bar late, feeling more at ease now with things going bump in the night.

In the morning, he unlocks the door and says hello to Margie.

UFO / OVNI Sighting - Acquapendente, Italy 2008

A UFO was sighted and photographed by a real estate agent of 49 years who was in Centeno, near Acquapendente, while he was committed to photograph a house with a digital camera.

The object was not visible to the naked eye, but appeared in the photo. It has an elliptical shape with a dark tail. The real estate agent became aware of the unknown object only when he "downloaded" the photo to his computer.

Sasquatch Reported, Footprints Found Near Grassy Narrows, Ontario

Randy Fobister’s pictures have been circulating through Grassy Narrows like gossip this week.

They are of a 15-inch long, six-toed, “big” footprint.

Driving to a blueberry picking site Tuesday, about an hour north of the reserve, Helen Pahpasay and her mother saw something they’ve never seen before.

“I seen a black, um ... thing,” Pahpasay said. “It was tall and lanky and it was walking towards our way.

“I thought I was seeing things, so I didn’t say anything,” she said. “I looked over to my mom and she was rubbing her eyes.”

About eight feet tall. Slender. Black as night. Bigfoot was out for a walk.

“It was just walking casually,” she said. “I know it wasn’t an animal, cause it was upright. It was human like, like the way we walk.”

Scared, the women drove back to their community. Pahpasay told her family, who turned her right around for the hunt.

What they found is six-toed footprints somewhere in the woods, near a beaver pond.

It appears it leaped over a dam, into the pond, Fobister said.

“Sort of like one big-foot jump.”

Fobister made a cast of the print that afternoon and plans to send it out to be analyzed.

The story of the creature isn’t new to the community.

Tales circulated through history speak of a tall, creature-like thing, screaming loudly in the same area.

No one was ever brave enough to try to confront it in the past, but Fobister was ready.

“We were just excited,” he said. “I kept hearing about this thing, I’ve been hearing about it since I was a kid, so when I got the chance close by here I jumped right on it.”

X-Files Opened: A Paranormal Price Guide

By Amanda Beals

FBI Special Agents Mulder and Scully rely on Oxford and medical school degrees to pursue the paranormal. Normal folks, have simpler techniques to hunt ghosts and capture images of UFOs.

In honor of the new X-Files movie, The X-Files: I Want to Believe, MainStreet presents a paranormal price guide for busting your own ghosts.

THE PROFESSIONAL WAY

Dom Villella
According to principal investigator Dom Villella, Paranormal Investigation of New York, “People do not know how expensive it is” to run an investigative outfit. Though the average person could easily purchase a few items that can capture paranormal activity, Villella said, “95% of people who try to investigate the paranormal don’t last a year.” The reason? “99% of what we do is boring.”

Scariest Moment: At the Eastern State Penitentiary, Pennsylvania, in a closed off part of the haunted prison, Villella captured a piece of clean audio where a voice whispered, “My house…house…my home.”

Rich Smith
Rich Smith from ParaTexas is an expert in EVP recording and training. “Don’t quit your daytime job,” says Smith. Investigating the paranormal is a lifelong endeavor. Smith spent years in the Navy where he went to electronics school. His experience with the Naval Intelligence Unit engendered dexterity with technology: Key for paranormal investigations. Smith offers private EVP tutorials with field trips, computer lab software analysis and recording technique sessions. The Texan investigator warns people to be prepared for a life changing experience; Smith is spirit magnet. "I am like Grand Central Station for spirit visits."

Scariest Moment: Smith doesn’t easily scare. Check out this eerie clip Smith recorded on a trip across the Chihuahua Desert.

TOTAL COST: Villella and Smith do not charge for an investigation. “In the spirit world, money doesn’t mean anything,” said Villella. (However, says Smith, if “Brad and Angelina wanted my services there would be a fee.”) According to Smith, most investigators in the field charge about $500 a day (about $85 an hour) plus travel expenses.

THE DO IT YOURSELF WAY

EVP Collection
The quickest way to do your own investigation is to collect an EVP. EVP stands for electronic voice phenomena. According to The American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (AA-EVP) , EVPs “are unexpected voices found in recording media. It is a form of after death communication.” And, an EVP is the easiest and most cost effective way to determine if your house is haunted. You basically grab a clean piece of audio as proof.

Smith created a guide for MainStreet readers. Most items on this list can be purchased at your local electronics store.

The DIY Paranormal Price Guide (based on one person recording EVPs):

1. Digital Recorder-You should have two or three on hand, with a set of
questions for the spirit. A decent digital recorder costs $49.00; don’t forget cable to transfer sound
clips to computer.
2. Quality Audio Headset- $23.99 at Amazon.com.
3. Laptop- Any old PC will do. Smith does not recommend Mac due to compatibility issues. $499 is the starting price for a Dell Inspirion.
4. EMF Field Detector- This device measures the electromagnetic energy and rules out environmental noises. Check out the The Ghost Hunter Store for a small EMF director at the small price of $27.
5. Download WavePad. This software is necessary to remove the ambient noise from your digital recording. The demo is 30 seconds but should suffice as lingering spirits are not terribly chatty and normally offer only a few words per recording.

TOTAL COST: $604.99 (before taxes)

Not cheap, just to discover if the truth is out there. Since spirits can't be bribed to cross over (remember, money has no meaning in the spirit world), it is probably worth it.

Green Bay Couple Hear Noises, But Nobody Believes Them

Bob and Leona Ehrfurth are very sensitive to the possibility that people might think they’re crazy. For the record, they’re not, but the Green Bay, Wisconsin couple are being driven that way by their loss to explain the annoying noises in their home.

For two years now, the Ehrfurths have been enduring an annoying, persistent noise in their home — a low, motor-like rumble accompanied by a vibration. They can’t figure out what’s causing it, and it’s been a challenge getting others to believe them because the problem starts and stops.

They’ve lived in the house at 2048 Mary Queen Road for 42 years, and it’s only been the last two years that it’s been a problem. “It’s like there’s a semi parked right outside with the engine running, but when you look out, there isn’t one,” said Leona Ehrfurth, 76.

And it quits at the most inconvenient times. Like when they bring city officials, acoustic experts or news reporters into their house to experience the problem. City officials spent $1,000 to hire a company to do some testing this spring; the tester heard no noise, and his equipment failed to measure vibration of any significance.

Nicholson hoped the equipment could be used inside one of the factories in the general neighborhood, but Municipal Judge Jerry Hanson wouldn’t sign the inspection warrant that would allow that. “There has to be some reasonable suspicion of some type of violation you could point to,” Hanson said. “Nobody’s been able to come up with anything that would point to anything specific.”

“Now they KNOW we’re crazy,” Bob Ehrfurth, 75, grumbled after explaining how a technical expert installed vibration-monitoring equipment in their house and failed to measure anything of significance. “Imagine putting your pillow on the hood of a running car, you can’t sleep through that,” Leona Ehrfurth said. “You get this pressure in your ear. Sometimes I have to get out of the house, because I can’t take it anymore.”

Bob Ehrfurth can sleep through it, but he doesn’t like it. “It doesn’t matter if the windows are open or closed, you still hear it,” he said. “It’s worse in the winter.”

Although the two aren’t in the best of health, the problem is not with them because when they leave, they don’t hear the noise, Bob Ehrfurth said.

The Ehrfurths’ immediate neighbors haven’t complained about the noise, but the Ehrfurths have had a few people admit hearing the noise. An engineering teacher told the city’s Protection & Welfare Committee he tried to help the Ehrfurths investigate the matter, and said he experienced a throbbing sensation in his ears while in the neighborhood and in their house. A resident from about a mile away made similar complaints.

“Yeah, I’ve experienced it,” said Alderman Andy Nicholson, who has been trying to help the Ehrfurths. “It’s like an engine thing, a low-frequency vibration. I think it would be an annoyance.”

But the source remains a mystery.

The Ehrfurths said they started hearing the noise shortly after St. Bernard’s Parish, directly across the street from them, redid its roofing, chimney and ductwork on the wing of its school building. But parish staff members proved to the Ehrfurths that their building wasn’t the source when they shut off all of their equipment and the noise continued.

The frustration as well as the annoyance of the noise itself has driven Leona Ehrfurth to tears. She broke down at two public meetings as she tried to explain it. “He’s 75 and I’m 76, and we’re both failing fast,” she said. “I can’t take it. I try to stay in bed, but I get such a bad headache, I can’t take it. I have to hang out in the basement or try sleeping in the sunroom, where the noise is less bothersome.

“We could move, but why should we have to? We didn’t cause it.”

A Pig....With the Face of a Monkey?

Villagers were shocked after a monkey-like piglet was born in China.

Curious locals flocked to the home of owner Feng Changlin after news of the piglet spread in Fengzhang village, Xiping township.

"It's hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it!" Feng told Oriental Today.

He says the piglet looks just like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk.

Feng's wife said the monkey-faced piglet was one of five newborns of a sow which the family had raised for nine years.

"My God, it was so scary. I didn't known what it was. I was really frightened," she said.

"But our son likes to play with it, and he stopped us from getting rid of it. He even feeds it milk."

Neighbours have suggested the couple keep the piglet to see how it looks as it matures.

Oxford Scientists to Test Indian 'Yeti' Hairs

Hair strands thought to be from a yeti-like creature living in India are to be tested in Oxfordshire.

Scientists at Oxford Brookes University will study the sample, which was found in the state of Meghalaya.

They will see if the strands match a known animal. To date there has been no conclusive proof yetis exist.

The hair was found and handed to BBC reporter Alastair Lawson during an expedition to try and find the animal after a number of reported sightings.

He told BBC Oxford: "The region was thick with jungle and very hot, an unlikely country you might say to find a yeti.

"But the tribal people who live there claim to have seen fossilised footprints of the creature which could have existed in prehistoric times.

"Then one of the locals said he once saw a yeti and afterwards gathered hair which he thinks might be from the creature.

Scientists will study hairs collected in India

"It would have taken a long time to test in India due to bureaucracy, so I decided to bring it to England."

Scientists at Oxford will perform a microscopic analysis on Thursday before it is taken to Bristol where a DNA test will be performed.

The little known Indian version of the legendary ape-like creature is called mande barung - or forest man - and is reputed to live in the remote West Garo hills of the north-eastern state of Meghalaya.

Lawson was invited to the region to hear evidence of the existence of a black and grey ape-like animal, which stands about 3m (nearly 10ft) tall.

Now he hopes his quest will end with a positive outcome.

"I have to admit I will be a a little bit disappointed if the hair turns out to be from a yak or a cat, but we'll see," he added.

Big Cats Sighted Throughout Victoria, Australia

Monster cats around the South East and Western Victoria are on the prowl, leaving behind footprints and skeletons of animals mauled to death with the heart, liver and lungs eaten first.

Around the size of Golden Retrievers, the big cats can be black or tan and usually prowl alone, except in mating season.

Farmers in the region have reported hearing and tracking the big cats which are “as quick as lightning” and too fast for a camera or shotgun.

Meanwhile, other residents are spotting the giant felines on roadsides.

Mount Gambier’s Angela Beltakis saw a big cat on the roadside last summer near the Victorian border, but did not mention it to anyone.

However, after seeing a big cat again last weekend, she spoke out for the first time.

“I have a sister in Warrnambool and my young daughters and I travel over regularly to visit with her and her family,” Mrs Beltakis said.

“On the way home last summer while scanning for kangaroos on the stretch of road approaching and beyond the Victorian SA border, at around 8.30 pm I was sure that I saw a large black cat.

“Similar in size to my Golden Retriever, (it was) crouching on the forest edge to my left.

“I thought that it was weird but put it out of my mind, never mentioning it to anyone.

“I have made several trips since then, however, on the weekend of the 21st of June, travelling at the same time, I saw it again … to my left and in approximately the same area.

“This time I was sure (it was a big cat).

“I mentioned it to my husband, who completely laughed it off - I never mentioned it to anyone else.

“My other sister (Tiffany) who lives here in Mount Gambier visited with our Warrnambool sister Monday-week ago, travelling home at the same time as I usually do.”

Mrs Beltakis said her sister said it might sound crazy “but I was wondering if you have ever seen a really big cat where the ‘roos usually are near the border”?

“I just about fell off my chair - and now my husband wasn’t laughing at me anymore,” Mr Beltakis said.

From information sought by her husband, Mrs Beltakis soon learned of a fox shooter who talked of similar sightings and was aware of sheep killed in a different manner to foxes.

Mumbannar farmer Andrew Hines said yesterday he was aware of farmers who had calves and sheep killed by big cats further north.

“One photo is of a heifer on a frosty morning like this morning with big claw marks,” Mr Hines said.

Meanwhile another farmer, who did not wish to be named, said he and his wife did not go outside the house at night.

“I’ve lost about 50 to 60 lambs and three or four cattle,” the farmer said.

“My wife has been growled at - they make a big roaring sound.

“I’ve seen them and had a camera and a gun - but they are too quick and I can’t get anything.

“I don’t really tell anyone - people think you are mad, a bit weird, you know, but they are definitely out there.

“We haven’t had as much trouble since we got some dogs from a bloke up at Euroa - fox hounds.

“But they’ll be back. I’ve just bought an infra-red camera, I’m determined to get a photo of one.”

Killer Claims Vampire Movie Transformed Him Into A Cannibal

WHEN the man asked how to get bloodstains out of clothes it seemed a simple enough conversation in a supermarket between a woman and her son's closest pal.

But Sandra French wasn't in the mood for such questioning, "ask your mother," she replied.

Then she went about her business, her heart heavy with worries about her son, Thomas McKendrick, who had been missing for days.

Cops were swarming all over the small town of Fauldhouse, West Lothian.

Thomas McKendrick was a straight young man, popular with pals and not the type to simply take off without telling his mother and father. The cops were worried.

It was December 2002, but it wasn't until January 15, 2003, that cops made their first breakthrough.

Abag of Thomas's clothes were found near an old quarry outside the town, and now cops feared they were looking for a corpse.

One week later, in thick woodland near the town's community centre they found one. Barely covered in soil, naked, badly decomposed, small wild animals had been eating at Thomas's remains.

All the cops would say was that his death had been "violent and prolonged".

On January 20, 2003, Alan Menzies, was arrested and charged with his pal Thomas's murder.

It wasMenzies who had asked Thomas's mother about getting bloodstains out of clothes. Her own son's blood.

As Fauldhouse buzzed about the scandal, the forensic team and medics were busy at work.

Menzie's home revealed a horror story that would emerge at his trial in October 2003. Thomas had spent the evening at Alan's watching Queen of the Damned, his favourite movie on his favourite subject - vampires.

A major character in the film was the vampire queen Akasha, played by USA singer Aaliyah and Alan's favourite.

Everything was going fine until Thomas made a racist remark about Akasha.

Alan went crazy smashing his pal's head in with a hammer then stabbing him 42 times.

Alan claimed he had heard Akasha ordering him to kill Thomas.

This came as no surprise to his family, who knew that he had mental health difficulties.

Menzies had knifed a boy at school and been sent to a residential school.

Now, sitting there with his dead friend on the floor covered in blood and gore, others might have panicked and called for help. NotMenzies.

He knelt beside the body and lapped up blood with his tongue. Then he scooped out parts of Thomas's brains and ate them.

Why? To gain eternal life. To follow his beloved Akasha and become a vampire.

Menzie then stripped off Thomas's clothes and dumped them in a quarry stripped him of his clothing dumping it near a quarry.

SOON he had managed to move Thomas's body to a wood near the town where he buried him in a shallow grave and left dog food all around to attract wild animals.

All of that was made very clear at the trial but the main point was yet to be addressed. WasMenzies insane?

Five psychiatrists were called. One said that he was insane but the other four found him sane. Killing his best mate over a film? Drinking his blood and eating his head?

Ordinary people couldn't believe the shrinks but they were the experts and the court had to listen.

Menzies was found guilty of murder with the sentencing judge calling him an "evil and dangerous psychopath" and sentencing him to a minimum of 18 years.

One month after his conviction on October 8, 2003, Menzies was transferred to the Induction Centre at Shotts Prison where all long termprisoners go to adjust to life inside.

It's a well staffed unit and meant to be safe. As far as prison goes it is a supportive unit yetMenzies wasn't happy.

In November, 2004, he was told he was being transferred to B Hall in the main jail and was terrified that other prisoners would attack him. He got so upset that he was transferred to the segregation unit in the jail on November 9, 2004.

Six days later a prison officer checked his cell and walked into hell.

Menzies was hanging by his neck - dead. On the wall, written in his own blood, was the word "JUSTICE".

Two years later a fatal accident inquiry was held.

There, the sheriff heard that Menzies had somehow smuggled a razor blade into his cell, used it to cut a bed sheet for the noose, slashed himself on the arm and scrawled his final bloody message.

Sheriff Vincent Smith was highly critical of the Prison Service saying they had failed to protect a vulnerable prisoner.

No prison staff had bothered to find out that Menzies had been admitted to St Mary's Secure Unit as a child and tried to hang himself or that he had been in Carstairs for a short while.

Thousands of Seagulls Have Mysteriously Died in Western Australia

Dead birds are falling from the sky in Australia for the second time in seven months, raising fears of a possible public health threat.

At least 200 seagulls have been found dead in Perth's popular beachside suburbs of Woodman Point and Henderson this week, baffling local authorities.

Post-mortem examinations have failed to determine the cause of the birds' deaths. Last December 5,000 birds died in the coastal town of Esperance, 500 km south of Perth, after being poisoned by lead carbonate blowing through the town as it was being exported through Esperance Port.

The latest incident of dropping birds has led to a major investigation of local industries but government officials admit they are at a loss to know what is killing the gulls. A Department of Health spokesman admitted they could not rule out a risk to public health until the cause of the birds' deaths had been established.

When the Esperance birds began dying, tests showed that local children and adults had potentially dangerous levels of lead in their blood. A local company, Magellan Metals, escaped prosecution over the way it handled the transportation of lead through the town, but fears remain over the potential threat to humans.

The Department of Environment and Conservation (DoEC) believes the latest deaths may have been caused by a chemical or pollutant. The birds were found on Monday and Tuesday near water outfall pipes at Woodman Point, south of Fremantle and at nearby Henderson which has a large boat-building industry. Water and sediment samples have been taken from the area for testing.

Kevin Morrison, from the DoEC, said the birds appeared to die a quick and painless death.

"The birds, when they are showing signs of having been poisoned become a bit wobbly on their feet, they sit down and within 10 to 15 minutes they're dead," he told the Australian Broadcasting Coproration. He said it was particularly puzzling that the deaths were confined to seagulls. In Esperance, wattle birds, yellow throated miners and honey-eaters died.

Although many of the birds were found near the outflow pipes, Mr Morrison said the birds may already have ingested something toxic at a rubbish or landfall site before going there for water as they died.

The beach at Woodman Point, a popular sailing and fishing area, has been closed as a precaution until further notice. Officials do not expect the test results on the birds for a week.

Georgia Cop Claims To Have Bigfoot Corpse

Note: This story has been floating around for over a week. Now that the mainstream media has caught wind of it, let's see what happens

A Clayton County Police officer, and his friend, claim to have the body of a Bigfoot.

The animal -- a legendary, hairy hominid that supposedly lives in remote forests -- is said to be dead, frozen, and "shocking."

Matthew Whitton, a 28-year-old, who has been with the department for six years, and Rick Dyer, a 31-year-old former correctional officer, posted a video on youtube.com, last week, claiming to have the male Bigfoot corpse, alleged evidence that the much-hunted and often hoaxed monster, is a real, living species.

The video shows black garbage bags draped over a formless hulk, and promises revelations are coming soon.

"It's not a mythological creature that there's just one of," Whitton says on the Internet video. "It's a species that may be really rare, but they're actually out there breeding."

Whitton and Dyer co-own bigfoottracker.com, offering exploration expeditions in the North Georgia Mountains for $499, apparently with dogs, traps and tracking techniques.

Whitton, speaking to the Clayton News Daily the week before the alleged discovery, said the tracking business is an active hobby and he firmly believed in Bigfoot. He said he knew where a family of Bigfoot lived, in Georgia, and planned to lead an expedition to find them in September.

On their web site the next week, Whitton and Dyer announced an alleged discovery: "We have located a family of Bigfoot, and besides the clear photos and video, we have something even more shocking, a BODY."

The Clayton County Police Department responded to the news with an official statement giving the department some distance.

"That's his own personal business," said Police Chief Jeff Turner. "That has nothing to do with the business of the Clayton County Police Department. As long as he's not engaged in any type of illegal activity, his business is his business."

Turner said it is against department policy for any officer to represent himself or herself online, as an officer or anything other than an individual, private citizen, and said he does not know that Whitton has violated that policy.

Whitton is currently on leave, recovering from a gunshot wound to his left hand during a response to a Stockbridge armed robbery earlier this month.

The people who believe in Bigfoot and are searching for evidence responded to the announcement with a mixture of disbelief, ridicule and hope. The Bigfoot Field Research Organization, a California-based group claiming there have been 61 Bigfoot sightings in Georgia, officially described Whitton and Dyer as "idiots" and "clowns," and warned their claims are a scam to advertise their business.

Tal H. Branco, an Arkansas man who writes a regular column about Bigfoot research, said a lot of Bigfoot people think the whole thing's a hoax, but a lot of people are hoping, too, that they do have a Bigfoot body.

"Maybe Whitton did obtain the hard evidence required to solve one of the world's greatest mysteries," Branco said. "It is apparently being promoted by a police officer that has everything to lose as far as his profession is concerned, if it is a game, a hoax or just a joke. On the other hand, if it is true, and the Bigfoot body is in his custody ... his decision to announce it on an Internet web site before the body was examined by an expert certainly indicates a lack of good judgment."

In one video, posted online by "RDYER678," Whitton and Dyer interview a "pathologist" who is shocked at the Bigfoot, but then, in a follow-up video, the pair admits the "doctor of pathology" is actually Whitton's brother. Standing in a kitchen, Whitton's brother says to the camera, "Live and let live. What happened to that? Guys just trying to have a little fun, you know?"

Dyer said the claims are not a prank, though, and not just an attempt to have fun. Reached on his cell phone Tuesday, he insisted the body is real and will be unveiled on Sept. 1 on the web site.

"Why would we jeopardize Matt's job? Why would we risk the embarrassment of the backlash that we would get? We just have a lot to lose if this is a hoax ... I thought Bigfoot trackers and hunters were ridiculous and I made fun of them, to be honest, and I still do. They know nothing as fact. We do," Dyer said.

Dyer said the Internet announcement and the obvious lie were meant to draw detractors and "build hype." Other Bigfoot researchers were dismissed by Dyer, and he said he and Whitton are the best trackers because they "have a body."

He said the animal is about eight-feet tall, and about equal to the size of "three silverbacks," adult male gorillas, and nothing like the reported descriptions in the books.

"I've never seen anything like this," he said. "It's a lot more than animal."

Dyer did not say how they came into possession of the carcass, and declined to let a news reporter look at it, but swore it was being well-preserved and would be revealed.

Dyer said he and Whitton plan to sell the Bigfoot body and make a lot of money.

"As of right now," he said, "we've been offered a million bucks for it, from a very credible source. But we'll make 10 times that. This will change history forever."

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell Claims Aliens Have Been In Contact For 60 Years

Edgar Mitchell on Radio: UFO and Aliens are real!
Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.

Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.

Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as 'little people who look strange to us.'

He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

Chillingly, he claimed our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned 'we would be been gone by now'.

Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.

'I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real,' Dr Mitchell said.

'It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.

'I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes - we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, it's been happening quite a bit.'

Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated.

He told the astonished Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction.'

Mr Margerrison said: 'I thought I'd stumbled on some sort of astronaut humour but he was absolutely serious that aliens are definitely out there and there's no debating it.'

Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.

In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.

'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'

Rosenberg Spy Case Grand Jury Transcripts Released

After 58 years, historians and journalists will have a chance to examine the secret grand jury testimony of witnesses in the espionage case against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

The couple was investigated in 1950, tried in 1951 for conspiracy to commit espionage and convicted and sentenced to death in 1953.

Cold War scholars are hoping the grand jury transcripts will shed light on some nagging questions about the case -- primarily, just how strong the case was against Ethel Rosenberg.

The National Security Archive, the American Historical Association, the Georgetown University Law Center and others have petitioned to have the transcripts of 46 witnesses released to the public.

In an unusual move, federal authorities have said that because of the historic significance of the case, they do not oppose releasing the transcripts of testimony from witnesses who have died or who do not object to their release.

Of the 46 grand jury witnesses, 36 are either deceased or do not object to releasing the transcripts. Three others are thought to have died; four have not been located.

In a partial ruling Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied a request to release the testimony of three other witnesses, including one of the most controversial -- David Greenglass, Ethel Rosenberg's brother and a pivotal witness who testified against the couple.

Greenglass' attorney sent Hellerstein two letters asking that his testimony not be released. He offered to provide information to support that request, but stipulated that that information be sealed.

"The circumstances that led to the testimony of Mr. Greenglass before the grand jury in 1950 were complex and emotionally wrought," his attorney wrote in one letter to the judge.

"Mr. Greenglass and his family were thrust into an ... unwanted spotlight which has dogged their lives ever since," the other letter said.

In the 1940s, Greenglass was an Army sergeant working at the Manhattan Project, the atomic bomb project, in Los Alamos, New Mexico. He eventually confessed to being a spy recruited by Julius Rosenberg and agreed to testify against the couple at trial. Greenglass' wife, Ruth, had also been under investigation and was threatened with indictment.

Ruth Greenglass, who died earlier this year at age 84, told investigators she had seen Ethel Rosenberg type up her brother's notes.

At the trial, Greenglass confirmed his wife's account.

Before that testimony, however, the case against Ethel Rosenberg was considered much weaker than that against her husband.

According to New York Times reporter Sam Roberts, who interviewed Greenglass for his book, "The Brother: The Untold Story of the Rosenberg Case," Greenglass said he lied on the stand in the case and in fact did not clearly remember whether it was Ethel or his wife who had typed his notes.

David Vladeck, representing the petitioners, argued for the release of Greenglass' grand jury testimony, saying the witness had compromised himself by discussing the case in the Roberts book and on the CBS news program "60 Minutes."

Vladeck said Greenglass has told others he was pushed by the government to change his story before testifying.

"He points an accusing finger at the U.S. attorney's office and said the government pressured him to lie," Vladeck said.

Hellerstein rejected that argument. "He may be a scoundrel, he may be a liar," the judge said, but the facts "don't override my judgment on the value of grand jury secrecy."

Although he sided with the government on the Greenglass matter, Hellerstein urged officials to locate the remaining witnesses to obtain consent for releasing the documents.

"Time is precious to those who research," he said. "The public interest is best satisfied by the prompt and proper release of information."

Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McNeela said the government was not arguing that the transcripts never be disclosed, but that they "should not be disclosed at this time."

Hellerstein instructed McNeela to report back to court on August 26 after making a last push to find the remaining witnesses.

One former defendant in a related case, Miriam Moskowitz, is opposed to having her grand jury testimony disclosed, and Hellerstein therefore denied the petitioners' request to release it.

Moskowitz was convicted in 1950 of conspiracy to obstruct justice by allegedly helping her business partner, Abe Brothman, deceive the grand jury.

Now 92, she expressed relief that the transcripts would not make it into the hands of the Cold War historians, "because I know they will not write the truth."

Recent UFO Reports - MUFON - Treasure Coast, Florida

APRIL 10: I-95 REST STOP

IN MARTIN COUNTY

A security guard working at a Martin County Interstate 95 rest stop reported seeing UFOs four nights in a row.

"They have the appearance of satellites; tonight I saw three. They come from different directions each night. These objects have no strobe lights, they move through the sky ... with no noise, but right before they disappear they power up."

DEC. 12: SEBASTIAN

A Sebastian couple reported encountering a UFO while sitting at the end of their dock, looking toward the ocean.

"Within (seconds) it came out of the water. The egg-shaped rather large ship with amber lights appeared about midnight, looking north to the Sebastian Inlet ... and disappeared rising to the clouds. If anyone else has seen something to this effect please let us know. We are believers!"

AUG. 4: MARTIN COUNTY

A Martin County resident reported seeing an "oval-shaped object with a smoke pattern trail and red lights, apparently separated from a dark oval object."

"My grandmother and I were walking our dog, Tucker, in our local neighborhood where we witnessed ... an obvious anomaly. Neither of us could explain what other object could be rationally explained. The experience only lasted about five to six minutes, and the object just diminished from view."

DECEMBER: ST. LUCIE COUNTY

A couple returning from the movies in St. Lucie County reported seeing a "strange and colorful" light in the sky.

"I glanced up at the night sky and noticed right away ... a very broad range of colors. My friend and I (and a passer-by) all saw the same thing hovering above the southeastern sky above the Atlantic Ocean. It did not look like another star, nor did it look like a satellite and was not moving at all. We all just stared at it in wonder ... until my neck got tired from looking up. My feelings are that it was definitely a UFO."

DEC. 29: PORT ST. LUCIE

A Port St. Lucie resident reported that he spied a spacecraft "as large as five airplanes."

"I witnessed a craft that went from east as far as you could see to the west in about three to five seconds. It appeared to have a large white or clear light on the front of the craft and on the back it had a large red light ... it stopped for a split second, then it disappeared."

New Ogopogo Sighting Reported

Don't tell Robyn Holman that the mythical lake monster called the Ogopogo doesn't exist.

Because Holman says the elusive beast made an appearance as she and a friend were travelling along the highway near Peachland, B.C., on Sunday afternoon. Holman says she noticed a wave in the water on Okanagan Lake and couldn't believe her eyes when she turned to look.

Holman says she took a picture and is now waiting to get the photo developed. Whether it turns out or not, the Kelowna, B.C., woman is now convinced that the legendary Ogopogo does exist.

The Ogopogo legend has been in existence for as long as settlers have been in B.C.

The first recorded sighting was in 1872, by Mrs. John Allison, and sightings have been recorded regularly ever since, although there is no solid evidence that the creature exists.

First Nations legends call the beast the N'ha-a-itk, or lake demon, according to local lore.

Similar to the monster of Loch Ness in Scotland, the Ogopogo is purportedly a serpent-like creature, somewhere between six and 15 metres long, with a horse-shaped head and a dark blue or brown body.

Billy Bob Thornton Claims A Friendly Ghost Helps Him Write Songs

Maybe Billy Bob Thornton went utterly mental after losing Angelina Jolie (what else can explain his music career?) but he is now claiming that he has a friendly ghost in his house. Not only does the spirit give off a welcoming presence but it also occasionally chips in and helps him when he's writing songs, he tells Maxim magazine.

"We heard lots of things in the house that just didn't make any sense."

Maybe it was just Billy talking to himself again. Hardly proof of a ghostly infestation, is it?

"On my last solo record, there were a couple of noises that didn't seem to come from any place we could identify. There's been a couple of times I've been writing a song, and I'll get stuck on a line, and all of a sudden I'll come up with something out of nowhere. Maybe the ghost is helping me out."

Yes maybe it's the ghost helping out or maybe Billy's fried brain is finally spluttering out as the last synapses die off. Hang on, a ghost that helps to write songs? In a house that used to be owned by Slash from Guns N' Roses? Now I'm no Scooby Doo, but I'd wager there's no ghost, just a confused old rocker who has forgotten to move out of the attic.

Ipswich Teen Shocked By UFO Encounter

A TEENAGER has spoken of her shock after she had a close encounter with what she believed was a UFO hovering above her.

Charlotte Bevan, 18, Foxhall Road in Ipswich was picking her older sister up from Cineworld in the town on the night of Sunday, July 13, when she spotted a bright orange light hovering above her.

Miss Bevan's bizarre sighting is just one of hundreds reported across the country in the last few weeks.

Normally sceptical about the unexplained, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

She said: “I looked up and saw a bright orange blob in the sky. It was moving from left to right and not making any sound. Then it drifted out of my sight behind the cinema.

“I went behind to see if I could spot it but by that time I was getting some funny looks anyway so I went home.”

That was the last Miss Bevan saw of the craft but it prompted her to do some paranormal investigation work upon her return home.

She said: “On the journey back I had shivers down my spine because I don't normally believe in that sort of thing.

“I had a look on the internet when I got home and found that there had been similar sightings earlier this year. They also described an orange object that didn't make any noise.

“It's really bizarre and I just can't explain it and when I told my work mates they immediately asked me if I had been drinking.”

Miss Bevan's sighting is one of many similar anomalies reported in recent weeks. On many occasions people have described seeing a bright orange light hovering in the sky and making no sound, in fact the number of suspected flying saucer sightings has hit a curious high this summer.

Malcolm Robinson, of Strange Phenomena Investigations, said: “Something very bizarre is happening in the skies over the UK.

“There have been an unusual number of sightings recently.

“Some experts believe it could be linked to global warming and craft from outer space are appearing because they are concerned about what man is doing to this planet.”

'Don't Piss On The Third Rail!'

A tourist needing the loo at a railway station was killed by having a wee — on a live track.

The victim was electrocuted after he crept into a recess to relieve himself.

It is thought his urine splashed on the line and he died instantly when a 750-volt charge leaped up at him.

Staff found his body after he was filmed on CCTV going into the nook at Vauxhall, South London, and failing to come out again.

The man, a 41-year-old married teacher from Poland, is believed to have been on a visit to Britain to improve his English. A source said: “Perhaps because he was from Poland he had no idea the rail was electrified. His family back home are heartbroken.”

About 40 per cent of Britain’s 10,200 miles of train track is electrified.

Old Graveyard Under Shopping Center Likely Reason For Paranormal Events

A team of ghostbusters descended on a shopping centre to track down spirits of people believed to be buried beneath it.
Staff at Home Bargains in the Newlands centre in Kettering had been complaining of strange activity in the shop, with items moving from the shelves and even fire doors opening in the middle of the night.

So paranormal investigators from Northants Haunted camped out in the centre last night to see if they could spot any spirits.

When the centre was built bodies were moved from the graveyard of Tollers Church in Gold Street and moved to sites in Wellingborough and it is believed many of the ghostly goings on are directly linked to the burial site.

Group founder PC Rowley Adams said: "We were asked to come and look into the activity here after staff at the centre saw an article in the Evening Telegraph.

"We were talking one day after watching Most Haunted on television and decided to give it a go.

"The centre is built on an old burial ground which spanned from the Newland Street entrance to where Boots is and hundreds of bodies were buried here."

The group started the evening using a ouija board to try to contact spirits in the Home Bargains store, where they received a number of messages.

This was followed by table-tipping, where spirits are asked to move the table – or in one case spin it on one leg – to prove their existence.

Mr Adams said: "We have infrared cameras that we will go through and look for orbs, which look like balls of light on the screen.

"We will also listen out for any other paranormal noises from the footage as sometimes it does not appear until you are listening to it back."

During the investigation a table was pushed from the Crazy Udder milkshake shop to Boots at the other end of the centre by a spirit called Pru, who claimed to have been buried in that exact spot.

Other spirits who came through on the night included a three-year-old boy who died in the 1950s and a man who died in the 1600s.

Northants Haunted was formed three years ago by Kettering police officer PC Rowley Adams and includes a group of 12 officers and psychic mediums who visit hot- spots of paranormal activity.

New Jersey Man Blows Up Apartment While Spraying For Bugs

A New Jersey man trying to exterminate insects in his apartment blew it up instead, the New York Daily News reported on Monday.

Isias Vidal Maceda was unhurt in the incident, but 80 percent of his apartment was destroyed, Eatontown, New Jersey police told the newspaper.

The accident occurred as Maceda was spraying for pests in his kitchen. Somehow the bug spray ignited a blast that blew out the apartment's front windows and triggered a fire that quickly spread, the newspaper said.

Police told the newspaper that the Saturday blaze also caused smoke damage to the apartment above.

UFO Reported Over Vaucluse, France

Residents of Apt and its surroundings did not believe their eyes

"These lights, horizontal for a few seconds, emitted no noise, there was complete silence. They multiply, as two appear to detach…"

"The first image I shot is three halos of white lights fixed in the sky, south-west. The camera at the end of the eye, Robert does not miss this phenomenon that is not always explained."

"I was with my friends on my terrace, everyone saw the same thing."

"They continue to descend to flee to the west in the direction Gordes. In a second they disappear. There remain four symmetrically lights next to each other. "They are there in the black of night."

Robert is still seeking the bright spots with his camera, he zooms up to get the sharpness of the image.

"The four light, always perfectly motionless, returned, suddenly, without any sound. Then they appears to move. It adopts an angle of 30°. The lights were split in the sky, the inclination is increasingly becoming horizontal. There is more than six lights, but twelve slightly above Mourre Negro, some of which are invisible to the naked eye. "Constellation" takes the form of a clear rectangle."

This is 10 minutes that Robert and friends watched with fascination the movement.

Above Gargas, estimated at 5 kilometers in front of them, "after five minutes, all of a sudden, the lights reappear in the same direction. Encore to the horizontal. The four lights are fixed, a light flashes on the left of training. Robert is "not worried" despite the scene that he is the privileged witness:


A few kilometres away, Ludovic substantially saw the same events, two days earlier.

"I was faced with a firm in the west of Apt. Five lights flashing slowly just above my head, a few dozen metres tall. They formed an arc of a circle. Suddenly, they began to turn in on themselves, to go to the West in a few seconds. They have reappeared three times, the same place in the sky, ln the space of a quarter of an hour, only to disappear the same way."

On the evening of Wednesday, July 2, at the same time, in the sky country of Apt, the lights had already manifested themselves in the eye of Ludovic. The next day, returned to the scene, the phenomenon is repeated.

"It was like a dish, as in movies, I am sure. A strange thing, floating in the sky. I'm still shaken."

The civilian and military planes are not allowed to fly at the height where the lights were evaluated. Only the observatory makes an assumption as to the importance of lights:

"Over the atmosphere is charged, the light is more diffuse." Phenomenon that could respond in part to the intrigue. However, the silence that surrounds these displacements bright spots in the sky, remains unexplained."

UFOs Cause Alarm In La Norteñita, Peru

Locals claim seeing strange objects. Residents of the La Nortenita district were stunned on the morning of June 18, 2008 when the saw a series of intermittent lights glowing in the sky in a limited radius. Only three of them appeared to be close to each other while the others were dispersed. Residents of Manco Capac, Las Delicias, Santa Rosa and other streets were startled by the lights overhead. Some pedestrians and drivers passing through the area, upon seeing the crowd that had gathered to see the movement of the lights, stopped for a look and increased the numbers of the congregation.

After the lights united fully, they began moving toward the southwest in an orderly fashion, vanishing from view. This presence of strange lights alarmed the locals, who claimed having never seen the combination of yellow lights and blue and green ones before. They added that it had been impossible to determine if there was a larger object behind the lights, keeping them aloft.

However, other residents state that the lights were adhered to a very strange platform, corresponding to an extraterrestrial craft, and when all of [the lights] joined, they simply vanished from sight.

The Loch Ness Monster Meets the Digital Age

THE Loch Ness Monster is to be given a modern day make-over by three American scientists who aim to recreate her digitally for a television documentary.

Northern Irish company Waddell Media is making the one-hour programme for the Discovery Channel which will see scientists Dr Kenneth Carpenter, Dr Erika McPhee-Shaw and Dr Theo Willis visit the loch to debate what Nessie could look like in 2008.

Filming for the programme, which has the working title Living Loch Ness, ends on Thursday.

Philippe Cousteau, the American environmentalist and television presenter, who was filming with Australia's Crocodile hunter Steve Irwin when he was killed by a stingray two years ago, will present the show.

Associate producer Daniel Crozier said the scientists had never been to the loch before but were looking forward to trying to predict what may lurk within.

"Rather than questioning whether Nessie ever existed or hunting for her," he said. "We're going on the basis she still might be out there or at least may have been at some point. How would she need to survive in modern day Loch Ness?

"What would she eat and look like? We will be looking at the fish stock, vegetation, water temperatures and access routes."

The programme makers will use computer generated imagery to recreate what Nessie might look like and Mr Crozier believes she could possibly be made up to look like a reptile, amphibian or fish.

"Our deductions as to what she may look like will be partly based on eyewitness testimony and photographs as well as scientific data gathered over a number of years from the loch and surrounding area," he added.

Location scouts visited the area earlier this year and the programme makers have been working closely with the Loch Ness Project.

Some footage for the documentary, which will initially be broadcast in America before being shown worldwide, is scheduled to be shot at a laboratory in Inverness College.

Meanwhile, the Scottish Highlands and Islands Film Commission said there had been a surge in interest from companies wanting to shoot film productions on Loch Ness, adding it was now one of the most popular locations in the country.

A Fisherman's Terrifying Extraterrestrial Close Encounter

I received a correspondence today from an Irish fisherman who had an incredible close encounter. His name and specific location are being withheld for privacy and fear of ridicule. By permission, I have edited the original for comprehension reasons.

“Approximately one year ago, my mate and I went out to sea to fish at night. We left the port at 7:00 PM local time and planned to return at 9:00 AM the next morning in order to land our catch.

It was my watch at the time, around 3:00 AM, and I was sitting in the wheel house drinking some tea. My mate was in his bunk below getting some rest. We had been trawling about 2 hours and the horizon was just starting to brighten up a bit, enough that I could see the ocean surface.

As I sat watching the nets, I noticed that the seagulls that follow the boat were quiet which is unusual. It was obvious that something had spooked them. I walked out of the wheel house and looked along the side the boat and noticed a strange silhouette floating above the water surface that was moving at the same speed of the boat. When I took another look, it resembled a small human lying flat and floating. I was immediately stunned. I rushed back to the wheel house and slammed the door. I was paralyzed with fear and muttered uncontrollably.

I cautiously looked out the window and noticed the being float alongside the boat towards the bow. The navigation lights were on and I could see that the being now turned upright and was floating towards me, no more than 5 feet from the right side of the wheel house window. I just froze as this creature stared at me.

The being had an oval head, more round that most depictions of ‘greys’ in the media. It had large black oval eyes without pupils and a small mouth that looked like a frown. The skin was very pale, almost a sickly grayish white color. It was dressed in a black hooded robe that covered everything except the face. The being opened it's mouth for a few seconds then closed it again. Then it floated into the darkness and disappeared. My best estimation, the entire encounter lasted less than one minute.

This encounter has affected my life immensely. I have trouble sleeping and dream about the incident constantly. As well, I go out to sea less and less now and will probably stop soon.”

Note: This close encounter parallels one of my theories that extraterrestrials move ‘inter-dimensionally’ and don’t always need vehicles. There have been other stories of aliens showing up suddenly, though this account is definitely unique.

Hounslow Teen Describes UFO Close Encounter

A teenager claims to have had a close encounter with an alien spaceship last Wednesday night as UFO fever continues to grip Hounslow.

Jahtel Roberts-Joseph insists he saw a strange craft, about the size of a small trampoline and with flashing lights, make a crash landing in a tree on Hounslow Heath.

The 17-year-old, of Bramley Way, Hounslow, said: "It was the size of a small trampoline, but quite chunky, and had red and blue lights all round which were so bright you couldn't stare directly at it."

He and a friend fled in terror but by the time they returned moments later the 'craft' had vanished, leaving only a patch of flattened grass and a few broken branches in its wake.

Jahtel, a pupil at Feltham Community College, insists the 'spaceship' was too large to be a model aircraft and too small to contain a human pilot.

"I never used to believe in UFOs but I've had to change my mind after seeing the evidence with my own eyes."

Jahtel's 'encounter' follows a flood of reports about mysterious lights hovering in the night sky on July 6, which police insist were just entertainment at a party.

Conjoined Barn Swallows Found in Arkansas

It's an Arkansas bird story that at first might be hard to swallow. A pair of conjoined barn swallows, attached at the hip by skin and possibly muscle tissue, will be sent to the Smithsonian Institution for study and examination, Arkansas wildlife officials said Friday. If confirmed, officials say it could prove to be an incredibly rare find — a set of conjoined twins among birds.

"I can't even say it's one in a million — it's probably more than that," said Karen Rowe, an ornithologist with the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission. "There's just very little to no records of such a thing."

The birds, found by a landowner in White County earlier this week, fell out of a nest as a healthy sibling flew off to learn how to hunt with its parents, Rowe said. The birds first appeared to have only three legs, but further examination found a fourth leg tucked up underneath the skin connecting the pair.

Rowe said the landowner likely kept the birds for a day before calling wildlife officials. By the time officials arrived, the two birds refused to eat. One of the birds died early Friday morning and a veterinarian later euthanized the other.

While conjoined twins have been documented in humans, other mammals and reptiles, finding conjoined birds is difficult, as they likely die before being discovered, Rowe said. X-rays of the pair found each bird was fully formed, Rowe said. Scientists at the Smithsonian will examine the birds to determine whether they were fraternal twins or identical twins.

Rowe said the birds would have had to come from a double-yolk egg.

Barn swallows hunt insects in flight and make mud nests. The typical bird can live for several years, though the conjoined twins might not have lived that long even if they had been successfully separated. Rowe said it would have been difficult to teach the birds to fly.

"It's just amazing to think they were attached and had two brains," Rowe said.

Students Explore the Supernatural at Randolph College’s Smith Hall Theatre

The students twist around in their front-row theater seats, straining to peer through the black space to the back row.

Perhaps tonight, they’ll catch a glimpse of the apparition that some say haunts Randolph College’s Smith Hall Theatre.

It was opening night in 1971, so the story goes, and students prepared for their rendition of Shakespeare.

The male lead, from Hampden-Sydney College, delivered a stunning performance.

Stunning, because he was dead.

“He was actually killed in a car wreck on his way to the theater,” says Alan May, founder of Bedford Paranormal. Tonight, the ghost-hunting group is searching for signs of the supernatural at Randolph College.

Another account of the story says the student’s ghost didn’t perform but sat in the theater’s back row without saying a word, until he disappeared.

“Either way, a guy who was already dead showed up,” says rising sophomore Brandon Morgan.

The eerie tale is one of many that have been passed down from year to year, haunting students who attend the 115-year-old school.

“We always come here because we’ve heard so many stories,” May says while sitting on the theater’s stage. “We sought out the college several years ago, and we have a pretty good relationship, so they’ve let us come back several times.”

The theater is tonight’s first stop.

“Is there anybody here with us that would like to speak?” asks ghost hunter Amy Scott.

She sits in a circle on stage with several others searching for signs of the supernatural. Their recorders are turned on to capture any unearthly noises.

In the audience, three Randolph College students — a mix of believers and skeptics — sit on their own. They’re working at the school over the summer, and decided to come along and explore their school’s folklore.

It’s about 9:30 on a Saturday night, and the theater is lit only by several red, glowing outlines of “EXIT.”

Split-second camera flashes light up rows of upholstered seats before plunging them back into darkness.

Silence, murmurs between observers, then two quick beeps.

“That kind of sounded like the noise of when someone uses their (key) card to get into the building,” says student Carl Coffey.

Or is it?

“But this building doesn’t have a card system.”

It’s 10 p.m., and Scott aims a camera toward a seat in West Hall’s date parlor. This is where, long ago, women attending the college could entertain male friends under the watchful eye of a “dorm mother.”

The chair is said to be frequented by the friendly ghost of one such matron who monitored students until the early 1970s.

The camera is connected to a small television where a blurry, circular white light squiggles across the screen every now and then. The group reaches no consensus on its cause.

Dust, or perhaps an insect in front of the camera.

Or, just maybe, something unexplainable.

Around 10:45, the group heads to Bell Hall, where a resident advisor recently reported hearing children’s laughter late at night, when no one was around.

The group splits up and explores separate floors, walking cautiously past door after door of empty dorm rooms.

Coffey jumps slightly as the elevator rings, and the door opens next to him.

“Did anyone push the elevator button?” he asks. “Because it just opened up on this floor and there was no one inside.”

No one had.

It’s now midnight, and the thinning group enters Lipscomb Library.

Ghost hunters report flickering lights, unexplainable shadows and what sounds like singing from behind a locked door. All the evidence will be examined over the coming weeks.

“Hello?” Scott calls out.

Her answer comes about a half hour later.

“Do see this? Do you see this?” shouts ghost hunter Alissa Kuminski from the third floor. “You don’t see the thermometer going crazy? The thermometer is just going from 73 to 83 to 80, it’s 80 right now. Oh my god.”

“We were just going to pass through and we heard noises here, we heard noises here!” Scott says.

Or did they?

“We just couldn’t pinpoint where it was coming from, and every time we went to walk out, it would disappear.”

A half dozen flashlights are all that illuminate a gravel, uphill path at about 1:15 a.m., as the group walks to the nearby Rivermont Baptist Cemetery, off Quinlan Street.

The final stop of the night.

A wandering doe’s eyes shine as lights pass over them.

“Straight ahead,” Coffey calls.

Kuminski sets her recorder on a fresh grave, and the group examines tombstones.

Scott takes a few digital pictures, and reviews the images. A mysterious orb of light appears in several.

“It looks like there’s a face in it,” Kuminski says.

“Hear that?” someone calls a few minutes later.

Crickets, and the roar of something big approaching, fast.

“It’s a train. Debunked!” Kuminski says.

The tired investigators have had a long night, and decide to head home around 1:45 a.m.

They’ll sleep well tonight.

Or will they?

MUFON Report: Description of Pennsylvania UFO

Pennsylvania-06-03-08-I woke up at approximately 4:20 AM on June 3, 2008. As I laid there looking out the window next to my bed (a large casement window 5' x 5' and faces due north and gives me a panoramic view of the sky beyond the tree line at the back of our property), I saw a small gray cloud off in the distance. The rest of the sky was clear, no other clouds, and you could still see the stars.
As I stared out at the sky, I noticed the small cloud was moving closer in my direction at a very slow speed. The closer it got the more it didn't look like a cloud and began to take a definite shape, that of an elongated hexagon, dark gray in color just a shade darker then the backdrop of the sky.

I could not say how high it was, because there was nothing in the foreground to compare it to. Also, this object was very large, which made it very hard to tell its size or how high it was. If I had to guess, I would say if it was at an altitude of about 600 ft, its size was well over 100 ft. wide and long, with two of the sides slightly longer. If it was at an altitude of about 1000 ft., this thing was immense. As I got out of bed and went to the window (which was open) I noticed there was no sound coming from it, although it was only about 400 to 500 ft. from the back of my property, but because of its altitude I could still only see the bottom.

At that point, it began to make a right hand turn toward the west and continued doing almost a 180 degree turn. However, it did not turn on a flat plane, but dipped slightly as it turned. I have never seen anything turn like that. The only way I could describe it was a very fluid sliding turn. As it turned, I could see that above the bottom, there was a single rectangular light panel or window on each of its sides, I am assuming all sides, but I only saw three as it turned.

These windows or panels were very dimly lit, just a shade lighter then the backdrop of the sky and I could not make out any framework or detail above. After the turn, it went back at about a 15 degree angle from the direction it came and went a short distance, made another right turn, and came back along the same line it originally came on toward the south. It must have been gaining altitude because it started to look smaller.

From the time it was over my back yard until it made its final turn, was less then a minute or so, but seemed like eternity. All I could think was "I can't be seeing this," or "its not really happening!"

As it approached and was just about to cross over our house, it got distorted like looking across a hot asphalt road or something giving off a lot of heat like a grill, and then it was gone! By the time I got out my front door on the other side of the house, there was nothing but clear sky, stars, and not a cloud in sight. Running to the front door, I woke my wife up (she sleeps in another bedroom because I snore) I said to her, "you won't believe what I just saw"! AND SHE DIDN'T!.

P. S. The following day, June 4, 2008, I called our local newspaper the Intelligencer, to see if anyone called about seeing anything strange in the sky the night before. They said they hadn't received any, but put a reporter on the phone (Freda R. Savana, who covers my area). She wanted to know why I asked, did I see something I wanted to talk about? I told her basically what I wrote above, but did not give her my name. I told her I might call back in a few weeks to see if anyone else called to report something similar to what I saw.

I decided to file this report with MUFON, when I saw an article in the paper and newscast on channel 3, about people reporting seeing strange crafts in Bucks County, PA. I am including my name and contact numbers, but want to be assured my identity will be kept strictly confidential at this time. The only people that know of this incident is my immediate family, and I would like to keep it that way.

Investigating the Haunted History of Thackray Medical Museum

Ghost hunters are heading for Leeds to team up with the award-winning, multi-ghost haunted, Thackray Medical Museum.

The overnight event on July 26, between 7pm and 2am, features a special 'haunted history' tour of the building detailing real-life experiences from the museum's history.

Spooky sightings at the museum include a ghost of a woman known as the 'grey lady' in 19th century clothing seen waving to staff on the second floor, and the ghost of a man in a white coat seen by visitors around the recreation of the museum's Victorian Street.

Workhouse

The museum, which sits next to St James's Hospital and opposite Beckett Street Cemetery, is on the site of the former Leeds Union Workhouse founded in 1858 and which was once hit by a typhus epidemic that killed many people. It later became a geriatric unit.

The ghost hunt is being organised by paranormal events specialist Fright Nights.

Martin Jeffrey, director of Fright Nights, said: "We are very excited about our first ever paranormal investigation in Leeds and couldn't wish for a better venue than the historic Thackray Museum."

The museum, which was converted from hospital accommodation in 1997, includes a real life Victorian Street complete with sounds and smells, and operating theatre.

Alan Humphries, a librarian, said of the paranormal activity around the museum: "I've been working here for nearly 20 years and it can be rather spooky late at night – it certainly has an atmosphere."

Why is the U.S. Government Stockpiling 500,000 Plastic Burial Vaults?

Yep, these are cheap plastic burial vaults. Hundreds of thousands of them. Don’t believe it?

Why burial vaults? Why in the middle of Georgia?

Well, apparently the Government is expecting a half million people to die relatively soon, and the Atlanta Airport is a major airline traffic hub, probably the biggest in the country, which means Georgia is a prime base to conduct military operations and coordination. It is also the home of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but usually you don’t buy 500,000 plastic vaults "just in case something happens," you buy them because you know something is going to happen. These air tight seal containers would be perfect to bury victims of plague or biological warfare in, wouldn’t they?

MUFON: Over 50 UFO Reports in Pennsylvania Last 2 Months

Pennsylvania is “flapping.” And Bucks County is apparently the epicenter.

“Flaps” is the term a national organization that investigates UFO sightings uses to refer to an abundance of supposed close encounters in an area in a short period of time.

The Mutual UFO Network has fielded about 50 UFO reports in the Keystone State in the last two months, and more than two dozen have been in Bucks County, said John Ventre, Pennsylvania and West Virginia director for the Colorado-based nonprofit.

Then on Wednesday, a Plumstead woman told township police that she saw a blinking, triangular shaped unidentified flying object hovering above her neighborhood off Stump Road around 9:45 p.m.

“We have clusters of people all across the state making reports, but mostly in Bucks County,” said Ventre.

“It's the largest wave of UFO reports we've seen in Pennsylvania since Kecksburg,” he added, referring to the December 1965 incident in which a “fireball-like” object purportedly crashed in the woods of the Westmoreland County community.

Ventre was recently in Lower Bucks County interviewing eight people who claim to have witnessed mysterious flying aircraft. A film crew from the Discovery Channel accompanied him to record the interviews, he said.

There appear to be two types of craft that have been consistently described by people, said Ventre.

One type is a high-flying, bright “star-like” object that zips across the sky with great speed, he said. The other is variously described as a low-flying, six-sided or boomerang-shaped object with multi-color lights — from white and red, to green, blue or orange — that silently moves and hovers somewhat like a helicopter, said Ventre.

The latter type is similar to what Diana Bereck, 47, described seeing in Plumstead above her development, Cabin Run, on Wednesday.

Bereck, who says she “absolutely” does not believe in aliens or UFOs, was spooked enough by the craft to report it to police.

Bereck said she was driving down Cabin Run Road when her daughter, a passenger, spotted the airborne object hovering at the altitude of a low-flying plane above houses on the other side of the street.

Initially dismissing the sighting as a plane, Bereck became a bit uncomfortable when the craft came closer without making any sound. After parking in her driveway, she got out of her car and stared at the craft as it hovered, noting its triangular shape, bright white light toward the front flanked by dimmer white lights, and two red lights at the back.

“It made no noise whatsoever,” said Bereck. “It wasn't in a hurry to leave...I watched it until it just went off and disappeared over the trees.”

Despite the encounter, Bereck firmly believes it was not a flying saucer.

“It was probably something from a military exercise,” she said. “I'm absolutely positive there is nothing else out there, but I saw something I couldn't identify and I felt that I should report it.”

A police officer discovered nothing out of the ordinary.

In late June, one person claimed to see a UFO “with six lights in the shape of a boomerang” over the Oxford Valley Mall in Middletown.

On Jan. 27, someone called 911 to report an aircraft “hovering like an octopus” over a Mexican restaurant in Falls. A Falls policeman responded to the scene, but found nothing.

Most Mutual UFO Network investigations conclude that the aircraft in question is “something conventional and explainable,” said spokesman Alejandro Rojas. He said the network has investigated around 2,000 sightings per year. To become a “field investigator,” an applicant must study a manual available for $28 and pass a 100-question test.

Ventre is continuing his investigation into the Bucks County incidents.

“Either we're seeing the next generation of military aircraft, or we're looking at extraterrestrials,” he said.

Join the YetiQuest Expedition!

DragonQuest Adventures will be organizing, for the first time in Bhutan, a three week scientific expedition to search for the elusive Yeti or “Migoi” as it is locally known, in early October 2008. The expedition shall be called “YetiQuest”

Bhutanese do not dispute the existence of the Migoi. They have always accepted it as part of their existence and there is no real desire to prove to the rest of the world that it really does exists. The Bhutanese consider the Migoi to be an integral part of their culture and they are even depicted in ancient Bhutanese manuscripts.

High in the uplands of Bhutan, encounters and sightings of the Migoi are so common among the nomads that it does not stir excitement.

For many nomads who have seen the Migoi, the skepticism of Westerners in the existence of the Yeti is seen merely as yet another manifestation of their arrogance.

DragonQuest Adventures has sought special permission to enter the “Sakten Wildlife Sanctuary, a 650 sq.km reserve created specifically to protect the habitat of the Migoi. This area is also home to many extremely rare animals such as the Blue bear, Snow leopard, Clouded leopard, Tiger & the Takin.

Sakten Wildlife Sanctuary is a very remote area in eastern Bhutan and thickly forested with mixed conifer, rhododendrons & bamboo forest. It is also home to the nomadic Brokpas who have regular encounters with the Migoi.

The aim of this expedition will be to prove the existence of the Migoi through pictures & videos or through DNA samples from hairs, bones etc. The method of coleecting these samples must be conducted in a scientific manner and the teams/members will be responsible for bringing along the necessary tools and equipment.

Go to YetiQuest for full detail of the expeditions.

MUFON Video: UFO Reported - California 7/13/08

Ring UFO Light - California, USA, July 13, 2008
MUFON report: I am a private pilot. The two were flying in wing abreast formation when we saw them from our balcony. I ran and got the camcorder, and when I came back they had split up but still remained close. Colors and shape seemed to shift slightly. Objects roll among all three axis with no sound.

I had my doubts about them being UFO's, however I took it to the airport and showed it to a couple of other pilots, and their opinion was inconclusive. I believe them to be remote-control vehicles. Either way, they recommended I contact you.

Man Claims He Was A Chupacabra

By Paul Dale Roberts, HPI Paranormal Investigative Reporter

Sometimes my interviews and investigations can fall into the category of 'X-Files'. I get all of the weird and bizarre assignments from Shan. Shan is aka Shannon 'Ms. Macabre' McCabe of H.P.I. (Haunted & Paranormal Investigations International). On June 13, 2008, Friday, I was headed out to interview two people with very bizarre claims. As I drove to Coffee Books on Watt Avenue, I thought to myself, no wonder people at my work call me 'Spooky'. I am always searching for that key that will open up the gates to the paranormal realm and allow me to place all the pieces of the puzzle together for the ultimate truth of what is out there.

As I reached Coffee Books, I spotted an unusual man, a man with a long white beard that was centerpiece with a band to give his white beard a curvation appearance. A man with excited blue eyes and a shaven head. A man that calls himself Steve 'Lobo' Wolff. Continued...Man Claims He Was A Chupacabra

Video: Indian Man Survives Iron Rod Through Chest

An Indian man has survived an operation to remove a 1.5-metre long (five-foot) iron bar that stabbed right through his chest, reports said Friday, calling it a medical miracle.

The rod was lying on a construction site when the taxi Supratim Dutta was travelling in smashed into it Thursday.

The 60-centimetre-wide (two-feet) bar crashed through the car's bonnet and dashboard before hitting the 23-year-old, who was sitting in the car's front passenger seat.

Despite the incident, he remained conscious and called family and friends from his mobile phone while he waited at the scene for an hour before being taken to hospital, newspapers reported.

Indian media described the three-hour-long surgery as a miracle after the iron bar, weighing six kilograms (13.2 pounds), cut through his liver, stomach, spleen and left lung.

It also perforated the man's diaphragm in two places and broke a rib, but missed his heart, The Times of India reported.

"In my 35-year long career, this is the first time that I have seen a case like this," the newspaper quoted doctor M.C Misra as saying.

Doctors at the premier All India Institute of Medical Sciences said the surgery was difficult as the rod's angle prevented doctors from establishing the extent of internal damage.

Three of Dutta's ribs had to be cut to free the rod from his body.

Doctors said he was in a stable condition, but post-surgery infection could pose a danger to his life.

Another UFO Sighting Near Darwin, Northern Territory

A TERRITORY politician has added weight to growing claims there are UFOs flying around in Darwin's rural area.

Independent MLA Gerry Wood said he saw a strange object fly across the sky above Howard Springs early Wednesday morning.

"It was a dark grey object and it was flying parallel to the ground - it lit up white at the front for a short period, maybe one or two seconds, and then the light disappeared and the object melted with the sky," he said.

Mr Wood, a self-confessed sceptic, said the object moved across the sky at a tremendous rate, but he didn't believe it was a plane.

"There wasn't a sound, not even a whisper," he said.

"There was no trail of sparks like you see with a shooting star, it was just a white glow at the front and underneath. I know that people won't believe this because, for starters, I'm a politician ... that puts me in the category of 'what a load of crap'.

"I'm also a sceptic, but I saw this thing, clear as day."

Mr Wood's report is the second sighting of an unknown object in the skies above Darwin's rural area.

The Northern Territory News reported yesterday that Acacia Hills man Alan Ferguson had taken pictures of what he believed to be UFOs flying above his home.

And now a long-term Territorian has backed up Mr Ferguson's claims.

Rob Kennon, 64, of Wagaman, said he saw what he believes was a UFO land at Acacia Hills in 1971. He said he was on his way home from a fishing trip with his mate, the late Harry Baxendale, when the spaceship descended slowly from the sky without making a sound.

"It came in far too slowly for a meteorite and it had huge lights," he said.

The men watched the unknown object land from about 2km away and waited for about 15 minutes to see if it would take off again. He said they never reported the sighting because they didn't think anyone would believe them.

Mr Kennon said he had not been drinking, and he had no doubt what he saw was real.

"We weren't hallucinating, that was for sure," he said.

Lorna Byrne: 'To Me, Seeing Angels Is Natural'

Lorna Byrne's memoir has been bought for a six-figure sum by the publishers of The Da Vinci Code, but she doesn't see her powers as unusual, says Peter Stanford

"I don't always see the angels' wings," admits Lorna Byrne, "but when I do, they are beautiful beyond words. The other day I was with someone and, as she walked into the room, her guardian angel opened up for me and I saw its golden wings in such detail. I could see the feathers individually."

We are sitting in a central London café. To me, a mere mortal, there is nothing out of the ordinary to detain the eye - groups of people at tables, sipping drinks and chatting. But for the 54-year-old Byrne, as her eyes flit around over my shoulder, there is a whole other dimension.

For as long as she can remember, she has been able to see angels - as she describes in Angels in My Hair, a memoir that has become a runaway bestseller in her native Ireland and has just been signed up for a six-figure sum by the American publishers of The Da Vinci Code.

"I'm seeing spirals of light behind people," she reports. "Those are the people's guardian angels. We've all got one. They are usually about three paces behind us."

"And then I'm also seeing the other angels, too, the ones that I call the helpers and teachers. They are white and beautiful. All angels have a human appearance, but that's just for us, so we are not terrified."

It all sounds slightly bonkers - as if she is describing a long-forgotten Old Master, or a scene from Wim Wenders's 1987 flight of fancy, Wings of Desire, in which gentle, trenchcoated angels minister to battle-scarred Berliners.

But Byrne is no painter or arthouse filmmaker: she's a mother of four from Maynooth in Co Kildare.

"I know what I'm seeing, whatever anyone thinks of it," she says, as doubt crosses my face.

Byrne's red, shoulder-length hair is cut neatly, and she is conventionally dressed in a lime-green cardigan and navy skirt. She would be easily overlooked in a crowd, especially as she is so small and apparently fragile.

But as soon as she starts talking, there is something beguilingly otherworldly about her, rather as I imagine one of the medieval mystics now so beloved of mainstream Christianity might have appeared.

She admits, in a soft, slow voice that you have to lean in to hear, that she has been rather taken aback by the controversy and attention her book has generated.

"To me, seeing angels is quite natural. It's been happening for so long. I'm only discovering now, when people like you ask me questions about it, that others don't find it natural."

Byrne is not alone in believing in angels: three quarters of Americans and more than a third of Britons are also convinced that such heavenly helpers exist. But claiming to be able to see them is something else entirely. There are, I calculate, several possible explanations. She could be a charlatan, out to make a quick buck. She could be mad. Or she could be telling the truth.

The first option is the easiest to tackle. Her website contains the predictable testimonials from Irish celebrities.

Singer Daniel O'Donnell describes Byrne's insights as "breathtaking"; Jim Corr of the Corrs hails her "guidance… in times of universal deceit".

More substantial, though, are those from the less celebrated - such as this, from a Dublin therapist: "One patient, a girl from Sarajevo, had suffered major damage after a grenade had been thrown into her home. Her body was literally peppered with shrapnel, particularly the spinal area.

Lorna, without the use of X-ray, was not only able to point out where all the shrapnel pieces were, but to indicate what the effect of each piece was on the girl's body."

How did she know? "The angels told me," Byrne explains. Why did they tell you? "I haven't the faintest idea," she replies simply, rather as a child would. "They don't always tell me why."

So it is not just that Byrne sees angels - and has done since she was growing up in a rundown cottage next to her father's bicycle repair shop in Dublin in the 1960s. She can also communicate with them. I suggest that rather than being heavenly beings, they might be a kind of outward manifestation of an inner voice.

"People have called me all sorts of things in the past," she responds, unaffronted by the suggestion.

"I don't like 'psychic'. I'm not a psychic. Sometimes other people have said, 'Where's the healer?' when they have come to find me, but I don't heal. That's not me. That's God. The angels carry the message, helping me to intercede with God."

So can she talk directly to God, too? I lower my voice instinctively as I ask the question. "I know it sounds strange," she laughs. I wait. Finally, she answers: "I do, yes."

If Byrne were indeed a charlatan, she could have been putting her gifts to good use for years to feather her own nest - "make a load of money", as she puts it.

Instead, she stayed in her poor childhood home, attending a school where she was always treated as "retarded" - "I'm dys… what's the word, I still can't say it, you know - not good with words."

Then there was a loving, but cash-strapped, marriage to Joe, and four children, along with a variety of menial jobs to make ends meet.

Joe died young, as the angels had always told her he would. She recalls nursing him on his deathbed. Did that make her angry with God?

"No, I was allowed to see his soul [after he died] on one occasion. It was beautiful." She believes her romance was predestined.

"From the moment Angel Elijah showed me a vision of Joe, I was always in love with him. I was only maybe nine or 10 at the time, but the connection was made."

Byrne reveals quite how otherworldly she is when, in the course of talking about evil spirits (she says she has confronted the fallen angel, Satan, on at least one occasion), I mention Robert Mugabe as a potential candidate for demonic possession.

"Who's he?" she asks. As I explain, she is constantly looking away. From her perspective, there is clearly so much else going on in the room that the details of Zimbabwe's crisis don't hold her attention.

"I live in a parallel world," she explains, "between spirit world and human world. Angels, you see, are not souls of people who have died, as is sometimes said. They are creatures, another being, a spiritual being. So if you ask me the question of which world I'd find it easier to live in, I'd have to say the spirit world."

Her sincerity is unmistakeable, but it still leaves open the possibility that her visions are a form of mental illness. She has obviously heard the accusation often enough. "If I had told people what I was seeing when I was a child," she says, "I would have been locked away."

Throughout history, there has been a thin - some would say invisible - line between strong religious attachment and apparent insanity. Byrne remains, she says, a regular at Mass, and feels that too many people today are shy about admitting their faith.

"They are frightened to acknowledge that part of themselves that has anything to do with God, because they don't want to be thought of as mad, too."

So we come to the final option - the baffling idea that Byrne is telling the truth. Or, to be more precise, her truth. The churches, it seems, have so far been wary of endorsing her claims.

"The religions are putting angels out of the equation as much as possible, in order to have control over human beings," she explains. "And I mean all religions, all churches. I can see angels in churches, in synagogues and mosques. They are everywhere."

We've come back full circle. Is there any form of proof, other than her word, that she can offer for her claims?

"The response from the website. My book has given people back hope and belief in life itself, and that for me is wonderful. There are people who tell me they haven't prayed for years, since they left school, but now… It's the hope the world is crying out for."

Photo: UFO Reported Over Grecia, Costa Rica

One can only speculate as to the reasons why, perhaps in search of low fuel prices or a great "bocadillo" or wanting to visit the cleanest city in Costa Rica, beings from other worlds are reported to have visited Grecia Tuesday night.

Ricardo Núñez and some of his neighbours in Grecia looked up in the sky around 9pm Tuesday night and decided to capture on film what appears to be a UFO.

Núñez said he saw a bright light in the horizon and kept getting closer, ruling out an airplane because the lights were different than those used by an airplane and called on his nieghbours of Invu Dos de Grecia, who took the photos of what could only described as a visitor from another world.

Núñez and neighbours decided to send their photos to the Diario Extra.

'UFO Hunters' Investigating 1997 Phoenix Lights

Crews from the show "UFO Hunters" are in the Valley to investigate the strange lights in the Phoenix sky more than a decade ago.

Bill Burns hosts the show, which airs every Wednesday night on the History Channel.

``Nobody has ever really come to the conclusion of what it was," Burns said. ``We can't say it was extraterrestrial, we can't say it's inter-dimensional, we can't say it's a time ship."

Burns and his crew wants to hear from anyone who saw the ``Phoenix lights" in the north Valley sky on March 13, 1997. Thousands of people reported seeing a triangular formation of lights and a separate series of stationary lights.

``Was it ours, was it THEIRS, or was it flares?"

Those are the three questions Burns wants answered.

``You can only speculate that it's from another world unless the people from the other world actually pop up and say, `live and prosper,'" he said.

``So for any witnesses, even if you've spoken to the press before, spoken to TV before, spoken to anybody, we'd love to hear your story."

Besides the Phoenix lights, stories of other unidentified flying objects are welcome.

Burns' crew travels all over the country to hear people tell of ``close encounters."

``In some cases, we've been inundated," he said. ``I know in Texas last year, we actually had scores of people turn up."

Burns and his crew will be at the Holiday Inn Express near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Friday to talk with those who have stories about the Phoenix lights or other UFOs.

Hot for Creature: Profile of Bigfoot Hunter William Dranginis

William Dranginis knows what you’re thinking, so maybe it’s best to get a few things straight right from the start. He’s not crazy, delusional, some lunatic on the fringe. For the most part, he’s your average suburban family man. Lives on a quiet street in Manassas. Has a great wife and two daughters; just became a grandfather. Has a good job designing surveillance equipment for the Windermere Group, an Annapolis-based technology firm that does contract work for the government.

He can’t help that he saw Bigfoot in the woods near Culpeper, Va., on March 11, 1995. Two witnesses were with him, both FBI agents. It’s not like he imagined the incident. In the 13 years since, he has spent more than $50,000 trying to prove Bigfoot exists. He has created sophisticated surveillance systems—wait till you hear about his new Eye Gotcha system!—and even designed a tricked-out research van with parabolic microphones and thermal and night-vision cameras. So he’s not exactly half-assing this quest.

Bigfoot, he wants you to know, are not just a bunch of pranksters running around in ape suits. Nor are Bigfoot the ghosts of some long-extinct creature, as some people claim. They’re flesh and blood, and they don’t just live in the Pacific Northwest. The creatures are here, within commuting distance of the nation’s capital. Bigfoot is the “last greatest mystery on earth,” Dranginis will tell you, so you may as well suspend your disbelief and come along for the ride.

UFO Sightings Over South Manchester, UK

ARE we alone? That was the question Dominic and Julie Ryder were left asking themselves after they saw a series of mystery objects flying across the night sky.

Dominic, 44, captured around ten UFOs above their Northenden home on the family video camera.

The stunning footage shows a number of bright lights quickly moving in formation across the sky at around 10.40pm on Saturday, July 12.

Unidentified Flying Objects were also captured on film at around the same time by another amateur cameraman at an unspecified location in Manchester.

They have since been posted on Youtube and have received around 1,000 hits, some from people who also claim to have spotted UFOs at around the same time.

Julie, 44, who runs a mobile hairdressing business, said: "I am so glad someone else has captured this otherwise I’d have thought I was going nuts.

"It was incredible. They were moving in a co-ordinated fashion, I just can’t explain what I saw.

"It certainly wasn’t a conventional aircraft. I’ve lived here for 30 years and never seen anything like it before.

"I’ve been watching the sky ever since."

Julie, who lives with husband Dominic and sons, Jack, six, and Michael, near Princess Parkway, returned from visiting relatives on Saturday night to find neighbour Jonathan Wall standing in his driveway urging her to look up at the sky.

She ran inside to wake up husband Dominic and to grab the family’s video camera. To add to poor Dominic’s confusion he had fallen asleep on the settee watching the Saturday night film Alien: Resurrection.

Dominic, who co-owns the Northenden camping and outdoor equipment store Camperlands, said he couldn’t believe his eyes.

He said: "I’ve never seen anything like it before. "There were all these bright lights about 400 feet up in the air travelling in a westerly direction.

"I reckon they must have been moving at around 80 miles an hour.

"They were about 200 meters apart and seemed to be moving in formation.

"They were well under the clouds and making no noise at all.

"I am a paraglider so I am quite good at estimating these things.

"It is so hard to explain. It was like spotlights moving across the clouds but the light was so sharp it couldn’t possibly have come from the ground."

The two minute Youtube video shows three UFO travelling across the sky.

The poster, who goes by the name of Perrenecho, wrote: "I was coming back from my friend Andy’s house, and saw these strange lights.

"Having heard stories about red lights in the sky a few weeks before I ran inside and grabbed my camera.

"I was in my front garden, there were a number off these lights moving across the sky I’d say about 10 to 15 at least."

Crop Circles Near Holmesville, Ontario Baffle Residents

Tornadoes, pranksters and the ever-popular flying saucer theory were topics up for debate by excited visitors gathered inside the series of crop circles discovered on the property of Bert and JoAnne VanMaar near Holmesville, Friday morning.

The formation, a series of five connected circles, ranging in descending order from approximately 55 feet, down to 16 feet, was discovered at about 7:30 a.m. on Friday by Don Wyse and Albert Wubs.

The Van Maars’ neighbour, Al Feddes said that when he drove by the field to check his barn at about 2:30 the same morning while the hydro was out, he didn’t notice anything unusual in the field.

JoAnne VanMaar said she hadn’t subscribed to one particular theory about how the pattern came to be in her family’s field but she was certainly enjoying the novelty of the situation. “I don’t know, it’s just amazing, just to see it,” she laughed. “That’s good entertainment.”

The VanMaars’ son, Jacob, hadn’t come up with a concrete explanation either, but did have a couple of ideas regarding the origins of the circles.

“It’s hard to say. We had a pretty close lightning strike at about 6:30, and I thought maybe it had something to do with that,” he said.

“A lot of people say it has something to do with being between hydro and water. Well there are hydro towers right there and there’s a municipal drain that runs right there as well about 50 feet closer to the house from it.”

Most of the people who saw the field on Friday morning were in agreement that whatever had made the circles, it seemed unlikely that it could have been constructed by people. VanMaar agreed.

“I’m reasonably sure that it wasn’t man-made. I went to the one in Hensall. I have a bit of interest in it, I have a couple of books on it at home, but that doesn’t mean I did it,” he laughed.

“Another weird thing was that the centres were kind of off center, which sort of throws away some people’s theories. It wasn’t wind. It’s too perfect,” VanMaar added.

The circles have damaged about a half acre of damage, according to VanMaar, but he points out that fortunately, the pattern is located quite close to the road, so visitors to the site aren’t likely to cause too much more damage.

By Monday morning, VanMaar said the field had received about 500 visitors, including a representative from the Canadian Crop Circle Research Network (CCCRN).

Paul Anderson of the CCCRN confirmed that the group is looking into the circles in Holmesville.

“We are still investigating it, so can’t say too much yet,” he said. “There are some interesting aspects to it, but also some reasons to be cautious, as to whether it is a hoax or not.”

Photos: 'Hoop-Shaped' UFOs Reported in Illinois and Florida

Report to MUFON: Illinois - July 9, 2008 - It was a light blue disk... with a yellow window in the center of it. It lit up right before my eyes, just to the south of me. It lit up like a fluorescent light, and then just shut off. This object was closer than anything I have ever seen before. The object was only visible for about one second, but I did get a picture of it.



Report to MUFON: Florida - July 11, 2008 - During the Pensacola Blues Air Show I was standing at the center of the crowd. Early in the show, about 35 minutes into the show, I was observing a biplane doing his maneuvers with much smoke.

Suddenly, I noticed this circular object and initially thought it was a smoke ring. The smoke from the biplane dissipated and the object remained the same size and shape moving slowly in an easterly direction.

In the photos it appears to be on a slant. The last image I saw of it leveled off. It disappeared behind cloud cover.

I showed my photo to several people and they claim to have seen it as well. I am a former crew chief, aircraft mechanic, on F-4's and I know what aircraft look like. This was something I have never seen before.

What you see in the photo is what I saw with the naked eye. I took the photo because that's what I saw with the naked eye.
