| 5/5/07 Is this REALLY
proof that man can see into the future?
Do some of us avoid tragedy by foreseeing
it? Some scientists now believe that the brain really CAN predict events
before they happen. Such amazing studies - if verified - might help

4/5/07 Castle hosts
ghost 'interviews' Paranormal investigators at a 15th century
castle want volunteers to help them 'interview' resident ghosts. Bodelwyddan Castle in Denbighshire is said to have a number of spooks who make their presence known. But as castle records were destroyed by fire in the 1920s, no-one knows if the spirits are from a former school in the grounds or a wartime military hospital.  Paranormal investigation team member Laura Whitley said: "We use various divination methods, like an interview....go to article |

| EVER had the feeling that
someone just walked over your grave? Ever sensed an eerie presence nearby
that made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up? Don't worry, if you
live in the capital these experiences are easily explained - for Edinburgh
is perhaps the most haunted city in the world, its past blacker than
murkiest black. How could you fail to feel a shiver down your spine when
around every dark corner in the Old Town there's an old hanging, witch
ducking or plague site? And, thanks to the likes of body-snatching double
act Burke and Hare, there's now a cottage industry of tours specially
designed to give you the heebie-jeebies. If you're a fan of this kind of thing, Edinburgh Ghost Fest, the city's ultimate celebration of the ghoulish and spooky, is for you. This annual event - this year, taking place from 11 to 20 May - has been growing since its first incarnation in 2004, steadily adding venues and events.... go to article |
4/5/07 Old school
spirit refuses to die away
NO-ONE could remember the last time a
living human soul had ventured there. Certainly, it's been closed off to the
public for more than 100 years - though few of the tourists and residents
trundling past on their way to the Castle would even be aware of its
existence. |

21/4/07 Robbie banned
from making ghost show
Robbie Williams has been banned from hosting his own show about the
supernatural.The Angels singer planned to front a Most Haunted-style series for ITV, but his record company instructed him to ditch the idea and focus on rescuing his music career. It is rumoured that he will release a swing record later this year after his Rudebox album flopped in 2006. A source told the Daily Star: "Robbie loves the unexplained and got hooked on Yvette Fielding's show Most Haunted. When producers asked him if he'd appear on the programme, he went one better and decided to do his own show. "It was all good to go and the format and co-host had been sorted but it got the red light from his music people who said it wasn't right for his image." Go to Article |

you been haunted by a ghost from the past or possessed by an angry spirit?
Derek Acorah, the UK's self-proclaimed "No.1 spirit medium", reckons he has experienced all three.....

12/4/2007 Pub travels
back in time A reputedly haunted pub played host to figures from the
past over the Easter weekend. Jesters, knights and maidens enjoyed a medieval banquet, complete with a pig on a spit roast, at the Ghost Train in Purton. New owners Carol and Andy Waters laid on an old-fashioned feast in-keeping with the surroundings of the pub, which they say is around 250 years old. The ancient attire may have also helped make the resident ghosts feel more at home. Andy, who was dressed as a knight, said: "It is the most haunted pub in Wiltshire as we have five ghosts. "I've seen shadows and movements. Behind the bar we have an old gentleman who walks down towards the cellar. We have two ghosts in the kitchen and one in the restaurant." Andy wants to book a visit from the Most Haunted television crew which makes programmes about spirits. He said the Swindon Paranormal Society has already been called in and confirmed "they felt something"....go to article |
