A verdict of suicide was later recorded on Mr Assaf, of Lampeter, Ceredigion.

11/6/09- Crystal Ball Boom: Psychics, Tarot Card Readers Profit in Tough Economy [Direct Link]
Fortune-tellers, tarot card readers and psychics are reporting an uptick in business during the current economic downturn as people look for guidance, employment advice and a window into their personal economic future. In the past, the majority of customers flocked to psychics for advice on their relationships and love lives, but the questions today revolve mostly around finding a job and money. Psychics at the Psychic Eye Bookshop in Sherman Oaks say their business is being driven by fear today about the economy and their clients' financial security. And while many might view astrology or fortune telling as a luxury service, many medims say their business is holding steady and — and in some cases doing even better — as people look for guidance in the difficult economic times.

11/6/09- Relieved I'm not crazy over UFOs [Direct Link]
I noticed last week's article and photo on UFO sightings in the local area and finally feel relieved I'm not crazy after all. In November 1992 I was delivering newspapers in the early evening, I had just delivered a paper to a house on Little Sutton Road. I picked up my bike, looked up and saw this large, fluorescent-green ball of light hovering still in the dark sky above, about 100ft up. I stopped and stared at it, making sure I didn't blink my eyes, I wanted to look around to see if any of the cars driving by had noticed it. Then suddenly it left, not straight up, or after a blink of my eyelids, but across the sky and into the distance at a super fast speed.

11/6/09- UFO sighting above Yeovil? [Direct Link]
A Yeovil man believes he may have spotted a UFO flying above the town last night - although he is perfectly aware that it was actually Bonfire Night. Gary Alexander told the Express that at just after 10.30pm last night he saw two golden orange/yellow star-like objects drifting across the town in a west to east direction. "They were no more than two degrees apart, one following the other," he said. "They were around 20 degrees above the horizon and brighter than Venus at its brightest. After about a minute to a minute and a half, the objects began to fade in the south-east."

UFO researchers are back in Las Vegas this weekend for the 7th annual UFO Crash Retrieval Conference being held at the Tuscany.

Conference organizer Ryan Wood says the world shouldn't hold its breath waiting for the Pentagon to come clean. In the meantime, he adds, it's more important than ever for people in this much-maligned field to demonstrate skepticism where it's appropriate.

They disappeared, but were soon back at around 9pm. I can only describe them as balls of orange light, that were there one minute and nowhere to be seen the next.”

11/5/09- Not giving up the ghost [Direct Link]
Ghosts, if they really do exist, do not operate like Santa Claus. While the latter loads up his sleigh but once a year to bring toys and joy to the world, spirits of the dead are not bound by any specific time frame or schedule. Just ask author and paranormal investigator Dale Kaczmarek. "Ghosts just don't come out on Halloween. They're pretty much there year-round," he said. Then why do people only seem to be interested in things that go bump in the night when Oct. 31 rolls around? "It goes all the way back to the ancient druids and the Celts and the pagans," Kaczmarek said. "This is the time of year it was said that spirits of the dead were supposed to walk the earth."

11/5/09- Ghost Hunters roam at Buffalo Bill's Museum [Direct Link]
First up is the Buffalo Bill Museum in Golden, Colorado where a full bodied apparition of a cowboy was spotted, along with a white mist that could knock you for a loop, suicidal dolls that randomly jump off shelves in the Gift Shop, and other various bumps and thumps. Guest investigator this week was Eddie McClintock of Syfy’s Warehouse 13. Setting out with the thermal imager, Eddie joined Jay and Grant in the Ye Olde Gift Shoppe to investigate those suicidal dolls. As Grant stared at a ceiling mounted heating unit and speculated over whether that was the cause of the doll hurling, Eddie wandered off to the next room with the imager. No, he didn’t find anything but he returned to report that he felt really creepy in the next room, which is no big surprise, I get the feeling that Eddie feels creepy in a lot of places. Entering the next room Jay and Grant found massive doses of EMFs coming off the cell towers that apparently now surround the grave of Buffalo Bill.

11/3/09- Town's alien rumor has lived 112 years [Direct Link]
With alien themes coming back to television, the folks in one tiny Texas town will be watching the shows -- and the skies -- even closer. Legend has it that residents of Aurora, TX, had their own alien encounter more than 100 years ago. Just north of Fort Worth, Aurora has a population of 376. Something about it is different -- mysterious, and some say, down-right weird. "It's just a legend," said Barbara Brammer, Aurora Historian. April 19, 1897 would change this town's identity forever. "They said, 'Have you heard of the Martian that crashed his aircraft into a well site in Aurora?,'" Brammer said. "And I said, 'No." A former mayor, Brammer first heard the story of the UFO crash shortly after her arrival in the 1950s "I kept the legend going whenever I was teaching or when we had new people in to the community," she said.

As a technical investigator with Paranormal Incorporated, Veronica Smith says there are too many unexplained incidents at Tyler's historic McClendon House to shrug them off as imagination. A young girl on the stairway, a ghostly white figure on the balcony, sudden freezing temperatures, and dancing orbs of light, are all part of the house's mystery. The house is best known as the home of Washington Correspondent Sarah McClendon, but it is her family members who are usually recognized in the "sightings".
