Phantoms and Monsters: Paranormal, UFOs, Cryptids and Unexplained Phenomena

Howdy Cowboy!
"EMERADO, North Dakota -- It all started with some surveillance video. Bar owner, Brent Aspinwall says it felt like someone tugged his shirt. A close-up of the image on tape, some say, looks like a person that they've named “Cowboy.” There have also been other incidents".

"I saw a figure by the dart board. It was quick and fast. It was an older man with dark rimmed glasses and a hat that snapped in front," said Penny Sorteberg, a resident of Gilby.

The Brown Mountain Lights

Courtesy of Stephen Wagner
"Sightings of the Brown Mountain Lights date back at least 800 years when the native Cherokees thought them to be the spirits of slain warriors. That these lights go back so far rules out any man-made illumination, such as auto headlights. The lights have since been well documented by subsequent residents of the area. There have been dozens of observations by explorers, some dating back to the 1700s, and by Civil War soldiers. This video, captured on June 24, 2009 by Brian Irish of L.E.M.U.R., is one of the best of the phenomenon".

At first glance I thought I could see moving shapes apparently carrying torches? This movement may of course just be the affects of the infra-red camera being used to capture the footage?

Flying Orb captured on film in Rotherham inn

The movie footage was captured at the New Inn, Rotherham, England. Whilst checking the CCTV footage the surprised landlord notice the moving orb ( shown about .19 into the movie)



I've seen lots of footage of "moving orbs" taken during events with Haunting Breaks. One must be wary of insects, flies etc. before claiming that the footage is paranormal evidence. I have no opinion one way or another on this film but thought you may?
Love to hear your thoughts on this!

‘More People Than Ever Seeing Ghosts’, Says Britain’s Paranormal Expert

Times may be changing, but the public view on paranormal and demonic activity is apparently not changing with it. A study has shown that many modern day Britons are as convinced as ever of the validity of satanic and ghostly forces in our world.

The study, led by Lionel Fanthorpe and based off of records of alleged sightings, show that Yorkshire is the most common place where modern reports of paranormal activity are found. In that region, 74 reports have been made in 25 years, including ghosts, demons that feed on sexual energy (the succubus), and demonic possession.

This is part of an overall 968 reports over two and a half decades from all over Britain.

According to The Telegraph, the most “paranormal activity” comes from the following regions:

1. Yorkshire 74
2. Devonshire 57
3. Somerset 51
4. Wiltshire 46
5. Inverness 39
6. Dorset 37
7. Norfolk 32, Lancashire 32
8. Sussex 30, Derbyshire 30
9. Essex 29, Suffolk 29
10. Lincolnshire 24

Ghost Hunters - Touched by evil

Ghost hunters, syfy, Touched by Evil ( airs March 31st 2010)
Have we been saturated enough by TV programmes of the paranormal genre or are there still some who "just can't get enough"?
If you're one of those, here's a sneak preview of the upcoming programme

Science merges with spirituality?

Quote Christine Hassler "Is there life after death? Can human intention change matter? Is there scientific proof for remote healing? Do we have a soul? How can life be sustained in harmony with ecology?
These are among the many questions that were asked and answered at the first annual Sages and Scientists Symposium hosted by Deepak Chopra this past weekend.
At this ground-breaking weekend topics such as spirituality, consciousness, prayer, reincarnation, miracle healings and time travel usually reserved for more "granola/woo-woo" types, were actually discussed and even explained by Medical Doctors.

Evidence from studies on distant healing suggests that consciousness is infinite in space and time. We are immortal, eternal and boundless. Those who may call themselves seekers understand that life is not about just being in this body -- there is something we do not know beyond anything we can explain in rational terms. We take things at face value, finding comfort in that which we can grasp --see, touch, feel, taste, hear -- but that is just the beginning of our sensory experience. Our consciousness is far more encompassing than the things we can prove or understand in physical world reality.
The intention of this conference was to merge Sages and Scientist as a modern way to blend ancient insights with modern scientific theory. It's becoming more and more widely accepted for healers and teachers to discuss transcendent realities and the journey of the soul but usually these folks are labeled as "alternative" healers -- kept out of the mainstream medical community. And most M.D.'s who have been witness to miracles that they cannot explain through science do not share these widely with their peers. Why? Well, according to Dr. Larry Dossey, one of the panelists who spoke about Eternal Life, "Frankly most doctors are just too embarrassed to support them." Deepak Chopra shared with me that he learned from the conference that a "medical mafia" does exist which prevents the public sharing of what most would call supernatural healing into the mainstream. ............................... read on if you wish

Ghost Organisations

Hi

Since the dawn of Haunting Breaks we have strived to create short activity breaks that offer comfortable amenities, historical & architectural interest combined with a paranormal history.
We now partner with hundreds of haunted castles, manor houses & inns across the UK & Europe that provide just this service. Hand-picked by our dedicated team of professionals these are the platform for our unique overnight experiences.
The actual event offers a fine dining experience followed by the chance to become part of a small group that practice table-tipping, glass divination & seances in known haunted areas within the venue in the DARK of course! OK you're not on your own AND our experts are on - hand to keep the lid on things!
Not everyone will be interested believing that we're a bunch of "nerds" who wonder around in the dark with our anoraks on shouting "I've got an orb"!
We do of course but seriously the aim is to give people the means to be able to divine for themselves and experience something that they may never even have thought of before.
We've welcomed a vast cross section of the general public over the years, from doctors & lawyers to call - centre handlers & celebrities.
Everyone becomes equal when they're challenged by the unknown. Everyone wonders what moves the table or touches them lightly on the shoulder during a seance. Everyone is amazed by the feel of a dowsing pendulum or divining rod when the energy & vibrations start to move them.
These event experiences are so subtle they are extremely difficult to describe and convey in the written form. They are however, unforgettable and suitable for all! ( guess you'll just have to take my word for that)!

French Speaking Ghost

Hi

Our latest event held at Bolebroke Castle, has thrown something into the mix for the debate of Channeling
OK, so those of us who are interested in the subject are aware of the principles of channeling, i.e. two main techniques developed in the 20th century ( a psychic or sensitive who receives messages and relays them via the spoken word or written format / or a "trance" channeler who allows the spirit to enter their body and speak through them)
Much evidence has been researched over the years and put forward as proof of this activity. One of the most famous within this arena is J Z Knight who is the CEO of Ramtha's School of Enlightenment
Our psychic during the event at Bolebroke actually channeled whilst in King Henry VIII bedchamber and surprised guests and herself by the experience: She spoke in French, a language that she has no knowledge of. One of the guests fortunately did understand the language and consequently translated what was said.
The communication was by a lady in waiting to Anne Boleyne, named Annabelle who was her maid for 11 years in France. She states that she needs to apologise to Anne Boleyne for betraying her. She also confirms that she betrayed France. The Marquee de Paris is mentioned in the same sentence as well as the fact that letters written in French have been burned in the fireplace in this, the King's bedroom.
I can almost hear you say: "so what"!
Fact: Our psychic for this night's event did not know where she would be working prior to the event so she could not have researched anything.
Fact: Our psychic can NOT speak French or understand it

What do you make of this?

Ghostly Photographs

Hi

Saw this and thought "what an interesting project". Not only can you vote on whether you believe a particular photograph is real, faked etc. but you can also contribute by adding any personal "ghostly" photographs that you may have!

Richard Wiseman, the author also offers the following "illusion" to prove that you should NOT always believe your eyes



Take a look and see what you think!
Your feedback would be much appreciated

Ghostly face of Ann Boleyne

Take a look at these images captured during an event at Bolebroke Castle
Once frequented by Henry VIII whilst he courted his second wife Bolebroke one of the King's many hunting lodges, remains intact and available for events

Can you see a face in the door-frame?
The pictures were taken in rapid succession and scientifically scrutinised to eliminate shadow, reflection and other natural explanations
