    EVP - Not a good hobby

    Tapping in the walls is the reason I stopped meditating. I noticed the light taps so I started to count to myself: "One" the wall would *tap* then, "One, two." *tap**tap* ...and so on. I got to 5 and the taps were still with me, I had to conclude that something that could hear my...

    How Possible Is Blade Runner?

    I actually got to see The Final Cut in a theater last weekend. I've been waiting over 20 years to see Blade Runner on the bigscreen. My last opportunity was in London in 1984 or so. My girlfriend and I got totally lost in Piccadilly Circus and never found the cinema it was playing in...

    Ohio gas station's blue "ghost"

    If only it had moved BEHIND the gas pumps, or one of the cars or something... I'd be a whole lot more impressed. Instead, it is just too near the lens at all times. I'm guessing some thin insect being backlit by some nearby blue neon sign or the blue in the electric station sign. I ain't...

    Telepathy & Kids

    Since I couldn't find the "Crisis Apparition" thread, I thought I'd add this here (just for the record.) Two weeks ago today, my girlfriend/life partner left for a 10 day trip to Central America. The very first night she was gone, I awoke after hearing her very clearly call my name. It...

    Do You Watch 'Ghost Hunters'?

    That was good... the number on the front of the locker (it was either paint or a sticker) was glowing as though it was hot as well. It was cool to the point of being invisible when they came back. Here is the clip, if interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7C7WlYCZGQ After watching...

    Do You Watch 'Ghost Hunters'?

    The one that sticks in my mind is the case in a National Guard Armory when the sound guy gets clocked in the face by his heavy bag of gear. You can clearly see that he is holding the boom mic up in the air and for no reason the bag hanging at his side flies up and smacks him under the chin...

    Whitley Strieber's "The Grays"

    I've mentioned this before, but a guy I know did an interview with Strieber on videotape. Part way through the 30 minutes or so, Strieber's implant "went off" causing his ear and the skin around it to become extremely red. Strieber was so distracted by this that the rest of the interview...

    Incest Is Best?

    I grew up with a pure-bred collie as a pet. Stupidest animal I have ever seen... unless it was one of the herding behaviors she was bred for. She barely learned how to walk up and down stairs -- but would guide every visitor from their car to the front door. If other dogs came around...

    The Cash/Landrum UFO Case

    Whitley Strieber seems to be talking about this case in his novel "The Grays". He doesn't mention it by name but alludes to the fact that the motors, that operate via mercury being propelled around a ring at high-speeds, are difficult to maintain and are dangerous when they malfunction...

    Ghosts & Entities Moving In A Jerky / Disjointed / Clumsy Manner

    This style of movement is used VERY effectively with one of the demon's in "Pan's Labyrinth". Truly creepy. Watching the program "Ghost Hunters", the entity in the Florida Lighthouse moves incredibly quickly up a staircase. Then it pauses and appears to peer over the railing. It...

    I Can Hear Bats Squeaking—Can You?

    As kids, we would throw handfuls of sand into the air -- bats would think the sand was a swarm of insects and fly into the midst of it. Their squeaks were clearly audible. (I'm sure it was cussing us out for getting a mouthful of dust!) :oops: TVgeek

    The worlds scariest ghosts

    Chicago O' Hare UFO?

    ABC News had a "video" clip... it was clearly a shot of the Phoenix lights. The whole video was about 20 seconds and after showing three lights over a city the voiceover says the "spinning disc had no lights." :roll: Once again, they are pulling all stops in giving concise, carefully...

    Afterlife (TV Series)

    Phone Calls From The Dead

    Sorry this has taken so long... I read several of Sylvia's books and often discussed them with a friend. Sylvia would reiterate that she did her work because she had been chosen and was not in it for the profit. Then she came around on her book tour -- they were charging $40-$60 (IIRC) just...

    Buzz Aldrin's UFO admission.

    IIRC, he kinda back-pedaled on the admission when he got back to the US. Several websites had the actual audio clip plus some sort of statement from Aldrin trying to "clarify" his position. (Perhaps someone threated to revoke his retirement pay... or am I just being paranoid?) But...

    Star Trek

    Ok -- I've watched several episodes of Classic Trek with the new effects. It is really no big deal. The models are not slick and sexy -- in fact they are lit to be rather "flat". No heavy shadows (like the original) but all the bad mattes are gone. The underground settlement in "Devil in...

    "Manbat" sighting in Wisconsin

    IIRC, John Keel mentions this behavior in the Mothman sightings... Apparently there was no flapping of wings and running over distance for take-off -- just straight up into the air. The wings seem to serve no actual function. TVgeek P.S. This sighting is not that far away from me -- I...

    UFOs: Seen One? Personal UFO Sightings (IHTM; Miscellaneous)

    How To Become Invisible

    I've noticed a lack of discussion about Whitley Strieber's new book "The Grays". I finished it a few days ago and have been digesting it ever since.

    Alien Big Dog? Or what?

    Line Rage: Newest Antisocial Behavior

    Evil

    While having an ordinary conversation with a trance medium (as you do) she commented that it isn't dark or empty that you should fear. It is the bright, shiny, sparkly attractive people who are the most evil. They hide it well and that is what makes them the most dangerous of all. TVgeek

    Do Buildings Deteriorate When No One Is There?

    Now there is a rumor that a bigfoot has been shot: http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/prtimeline/ the website does admit that it is "probably a hoax or prank story" but many of the people and place names are accurate -- so if it is a tall tale, it is "locally grown". In a sorta...

    Ghosts & Cameras

    I have to say that, no one in their right mind is going to sit and actually watch hours and hours of security video footage (which is normally taken one frame every so-many seconds) unless a crime is committed at some point. From my experience, it is really tough to see what is going on...

    Recent Dutch UFO "mystery" solved

    Ghosts & Cameras
