Who is Your Favorite Ghost?I just finished reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger, which made me stop and realize that ghosts are everywhere in the media. Movies, books, television, music. They all have wonderful examples of ghosts, whether real or fictional. Buying a House? Get a Ghost Inspection First!I just signed a lease for a new apartment and as I was walking around my new digs I thought, “I wonder if any ghosts live here?” I didn’t sense anything when I was first shown the apartment, and being alone in the space, I couldn’t sense anything that afternoon. But it made me think. What [...] Another Mystery Cloud or UFO?A strange cloud formation was spotted over the skies in Mexico on February 11. The cloud may look familiar because a very similar cloud was spotted over Moscow, Russia, this past October. Explanations for both range from an object, such as a meteor, falling through the clouds to create such a cloud, aircraft exhaust, and [...] DopplegangersA couple weeks ago there was a trend on Facebook that prompted users to change their profile photos to their celebrity doppleganger. (Mine was Amy Adams as Julie Powell in Julie and Julia.) Ever since then, I’ve been thinking of dopplegangers. We’ve always heard about “evil twins,” often as a plot device in movies/tv shows/books. [...] Psychic AnimalsI have always thought that animals are extra sensitive and perceptive. We’ve all heard stories about animals freaking out in haunted houses. This story about a cat living in a nursing home and spending time with patients before they die is a fascinating example of how in tune animals are to our emotions and spirits. [...] ET in your backyard?A group of scientists are gathering together to mark the 50th anniversary of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI), and a main point of the discussion is searching for aliens here on Earth. I guess the movie Men in Black may not be too far removed from reality as we may think! UFO Sightings in Northwest WisconsinI was rather surprised, when checking out my hometown’s local paper (well, it is about 15 miles away, but it’s the most local weekly paper around) to see that there were UFO sightings a couple miles from where my parents live. A thing I find fascinating is how so many people can dispel the lights [...] Farewell Haunted ApartmentI lived in quite a building my senior year of college. My friend Katie had lived in the building the previous year, and when a vacancy came up, I jumped at the chance to live there. It was built in the 1860s and had been located about 6 blocks away on Water Street. My building [...] Creepiest Places to Spend the NightDarkness falls and creepiness ensues. As a child, I was always petrified to sleep in my room by myself because the shadow of the pine trees caused by the yard light looked like an arm trying to get through my window. I’d play in my room all day, but as soon as it was dark and the [...] Ley linesIt seems that everywhere I look these days, the words “ley lines” are included. Two weeks ago, I had the chance to take a day trip to Wiltshire while on a week-long vacation in London. We visited Stonehenge, Silbury Hill, and Avebury, which are some very famous stone and earth formations located along ley lines. MEET THE BLOGGERS
