FALSE RUMOR: Anthrax or Poison in Tide Detergent Samples
Updated 1/7/12: One year later, these bogus warnings are circulating again via Facebook, Twitter, and text message. New variants don't mention anthrax but continue to declare that CNN has reported seven people dead as a result of adulterated Tide detergent samples. None of this is true:
FWD: Tide detergent sample packages are coming thru the mail do not open or use. 7 people dead already. Please pass it on. IT WAS ON CNN
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: CNN IS REPORTING 7 PEOPLE DIED OPENING TIDE DETERGENT SAMPLES. TELL ALL TO DISGUARD THESE SAMPLES IF THEY COME IN YOUR MAILBX

FRIDAY POLL: Rains of Fish and Frogs: What's the Cause?
Every year there are several documented reports of rains of small fish, frogs, or some other small creatures. There was just such a report in this past week's news from Agusan del Sur in the Philippines, where it rained a species of small fish. Similar accounts have come from all over the world for centuries.
What could possibly be the cause? Skeptics say that the animals must have been picked up from shallow ponds or streams by tornadoes or strong winds, carried perhaps for miles, then dropped to earth. (If this were the case, then we'd expect the wind to drop various kinds of small animals, plants, etc., but usually just one species of the animal is found.) Other theories include: an ongoing act of creation by a Deity; seeding of the planet by aliens; they are dropped from another dimension or time; or they are just mistakes of perception (it only looks like they've dropped from the sky). Of course, some would say the reports are just hoaxes. What do you think? Take the poll:

Book Review: Chopin and Beyond
Chopin and Beyond -- My Extraordinary Life in Music and the Paranormal, is an autobiography detailing the rich life of the pianist Byron Janis. Published by John Wiley & Sons and written together with his wife Maria Cooper Janis--an active board member of the American Society for Psychical Research--the work eloquently conveys the history of a unique musical career interspersed with frequent inexplicable events including such things as self-materializing objects, synchronicity, past lives, soul mates, ghostly apparitions, and precognition.
The Wanaque Reservoir Incident
Researchers know from many eyewitness reports that unknown flying objects seem to be attracted to electricity and nuclear power. Also, there can be no question that they are also, at times, attracted to, or have some use for water, one of our most valuable resources.
I recently did some research on a well documented case of a UFO seen over the waters of New Jersey in 1966. Numerous eyewitnesses saw the object hover over the water, and even cut a hole out of the ice to access the resource.
Check out the case of The Wanaque Reservoir Incident, and be sure to offer you opinion on why UFOs use water. The Wanaque Reservoir Incident originally appeared on About.com UFOs / Aliens on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 at 02:58:54. Permalink | Comment | Email this
Station Hotel "Demon" picture
This picture was sent to us by Sarah, who says, "Please take a look at this shot that was caught on cctv," says Sarah. "The picture quality might not be brilliant, but this is because I took a picture off my mobile phone from the computer screen while watching the cctv footage as it was happening."
The picture was taken at that Station Hotel in Birmingham, England during a ghost investigation. Is that really the face of something demonic-looking on the left side... or is it merely an illusion in a low-resolution photograph?
Look at the picture in the Gallery and read my comments.

The REAL X-Men
 The X-Men movies, based on the enormously popular comic book, feature a collection of human mutants who were born with extraordinary and sometimes bizarre powers. With such names as Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, Magneto and Mystique, they bound around making blades spring from their knuckles, conjuring hurricanes from the sky or manipulating their environment through telekinesis. Would you believe there are real X-Men? They may not be genetic mutants, in the strictest sense, but they are extraordinary... not at all like you and me. Here's our own gallery of real-life super-powered characters.

Email: Halal Meat Invading U.S. Supermarkets
Halal is to Islam what kosher is to Judaism — a set of faith-based dietary laws requiring, among other things, that animals be slaughtered in accordance with strict rules. Due to steadily rising demand, halal-certified meats have been showing up in select U.S. supermarkets of late. Internet rumor-mongers would have you believe they're unsafe for human consumption.

Two Strange Entity Cases
I have something today that is certainly off the beaten path. I have recently received two
very strange accounts of encounters with beings that appeared to be from another world.
Both of the cases occurred in 1990, one in the Ukraine, and the other in Scotland. I hope you enjoy them, I know I certainly see them as some of the most bizarre I have ever reported on.
Check it out at Two Strange Entity Cases, and comment as you wish.

Follow-up to the Ilkley Moor Alien Case
I have some information that I gleaned from Nick Redfern's book, "The Real Men in Black," that I think will interest you. It concerns the case of the Ilkley Moor Alien.
If you recall, Philip Spencer encountered a UFO in December, 1987 in Yorkshire's Ilkey Moor. He was abducted, but managed to take one photograph of an alien being. In January, 1988, he received a visit from the Men in Black at his home.
Take a look at this information at Follow-up to the Ilkley Moor Alien, and be sure to comment if you wish. Follow-up to the Ilkley Moor Alien Case originally appeared on About.com UFOs / Aliens on Thursday, January 12th, 2012 at 01:40:27. Permalink | Comment | Email this
