Anyybodythere.net => Paranormal Video Ghost House

This is a fascinating video, very reminiscent of the Taiwanese ghost videos I’ve mentioned earlier. I’m not sure that this video is convincing enough to make me believe, though.

We’re just getting setup, but I’m really excited about this so I want to get it to you as soon as possible! We’ve got a new Spottings Gear store, where we’re trying to collect in one place all sorts of nifty books and merchandise that will interest the paranormal investigator, the cryptozoologist, or perhaps even a few skeptics.

Check it out! And if you’ve got recommendations for books we should add, just let us know!

Paranormal News Magazine => Wiki-List of Haunted Locations

From Paranormal News Magazine:

Paranormal articles on Wikipedia have a rough time. Since anyone can edit content over there, articles dealing with fringe topics get a bit more skeptic scrutiny than those at your average pro-paranormal website – you know, here. Sometimes it’s a bit excessive. Like how many times can you say “alleged” or “claimed” before the text is unreadable? But every now and then it actually helps. One such occasion is an article that was put up for deletion that listed various haunted locations around the world. The person who objected to it called it “a complete farce” and said “[I] may as well claim my pc or cat is haunted.” To be honest, he or she was right. An article isn’t very helpful if it lists haunted places with the only source being one’s grandmother. The good news is that in response to the call for deletion, helpful wikizens came in and cleaned it up. Most of the locations without sources were either removed or sourced. It still needs some improvement, but it’s not half-bad, and is cheaper than spending cash on a haunted directory at Amazon.com. Check it out: List of Haunted Locations

Inventory of haunted places -but it misses the only haunted place I’ve ever encountered any activity at: The Hotel Vendome.

Paranormal News Magazine => Remodeling Leads To Paranormal Activity

From Paranormal News Magazine:

Just as anecdotal evidence of paranormal activity, ghost cases seem to frequently arise when a home or building is being remodeled. A recent example of this is the series of spooky goings-ons at Jam Street Cafe in South Manchester, that began with a spirit began playing pranks after being disturbed by the refurbishment of a basement to turn it into a lounge area. There’s been reports of lights switching on-and-off when no-one else is around and a medium said she spoke to the ghost, which appeared to her in the form of an elderly old man. She says he told her that his name was Charlie. The electrical disturbances were first reported by builders working on the conversion. They reported the electrical supply going on and off for no apparent reason and felt an unexplained presence. One cafe worker, said: “It was really weird because one day this customer popped downstairs to use the toilet, and when she came back up she just asked me out of the blue if we’d had problems with the electricity. She’d never been in before so she couldn’t have known anything about it. But she said she was a medium and that she’d seen and spoken to a ghost in the basement.” Full Story

Maybe I should think twice about remodeling my bathroom. That’s the last place and time I want to be visited by a specter.

Supernatural News => Taiwan Temple To Send Japanese Soldiers’ Ghosts On Home Visit

From Supernatural News:

From playfuls.com: A Taiwan temple has built six miniature ships to send the ghosts of some 300 Japanese soldiers on a home visit to Japan, Taiwan television reported on Friday. Ling Sheng Tang (Sacred Soul Temple), in Tongkang Town, south Taiwan, built the miniature warships after the ghosts of the Japanese soldiers told the temple priest that they were homesick and wanted to pay a visit to Japan, cable TV channel ETTV reported.

Now that they mention Taiwan, I’ve been lucky enough to see many Taiwanese ghost-hunting programs. They have much better results than similar American programs, and have been around years longer.

Perhaps we should concentrate more studies down that road?

UFOMystic => Skepticism Is Not A Dirty Word

From UFOMystic:

If we are at all serious about the UFO question, I can’t see a better definition of enlightened fence-sitting than this. Suddenly, skepticism doesn’t have to be a dirty word. It has been made so by the self-appointed and loudest cheerleaders for mainstream science, who essentially constitute a high priesthood of faith.

I really appreciate it when I hear a level-headed commentary on the subject of skepticism.
