Could Cern's LHC be Haunted?

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 22:21:24 PST

Is there a ghost in the machine stopping CERN from powering up? After scouring the internet for information on CERN, something keeps popping up again and again, and it’s difficult to believe no one has proposed it yet. Of course while this is purely speculative, is it possible that CERN’s LHC could be haunted? At first this may seem like a theory without evidence, but with the theories being thrown around by scientists about time travel, Ghosts don’t seem that unlikely at this point.

Cryptid Confirmed: Pygmy Hippo Killed in Australia

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:22:06 PST

The Pygmy Hippo, once considered a rare species only present in western Africa, has been shot and killed in Australia. The small creature was thought to be a large pig and shot by a hunting expedition. They were amazed, however, when they found it was not a pig but rather the smallest hippo they had ever seen. Could Australia have more of these creatures roaming about? The creature was actually suspected for some time to be in the area, but largely dismissed as a wild story dreamed up for tourists. Of course eyewitness testimony was for years discounted as the legend of the tiny hippo circulated.

Jeremy Bentham is still seen around University College in London, going to meetings despite the fact that he is currently over 261 years old, making him the oldest person to ever be officially marked “present” at the place of higher learning’s very formal board meetings.

The Soviet Psionic

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 23:00:45 PST

Nina Kulagina, or the ’Soviet Psionic’ as she became known was born in 1927 in a small village in Soviet Russia. At the age of 14 she joined the Soviet tank division with the hopes of serving The Red Army. After Stalin’s ill fated Molotov-Ribbentrop nonaggression pact with the Nazis resulted in the invasion and eventual defeat of the Nazis in Russia, Nina left the Red Army to pursue a domestic life as a housewife. But then in the 1960s, she found that something about her was very different. Her talents would soon result in her being an international figure, and a contender in the unspoken “psionic” race between the US and the USSR.

Dr. Zukhar's Psychic Chess Game

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:53:33 PST

Shortly before the iron curtain fell on the tragedy known as The Cold War, there was a politically high charged chess game in 1978 held by the two greatest world champions at that time. Viktor Korchnoi and Anatoly Karpov sat together in Marano Italy. Korchnoi, after defecting from the Soviet Union, played without a country’s flag to represent him. Karpov, far younger than Korchnoi, may have had an assistant in the audience, however, under the gaze of the psychic Dr. Zukhar.

The Monsters of Gevaudan

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:34:18 PST

Given the high number of animal attacks on humans in the past few weeks, it may be heartening to note that at one time there was an entire countryside completely paralyzed with fear over a pair of creatures terrorizing people every other day. The Beasts of Gevaudan, as they came known to be, had a three year reign of terror with a trail of blood left behind them.

Missing Little Girl was Chased by Mysterious Beams of Light

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:11:07 PST

New developments have arisen in the case of 11 year old Lisa, who is still missing after three witnesses say they were all four chased by mysterious beams of light in the middle of the woods. The chilling encounter spurred a nationwide search across the Ural mountains of Russia, where UFO sightings are commonplace. Since neither the girl, nor her body have been discovered, some are wondering if her disappearance could have been a supernatural occurrence. Incredibly, this is not the first time the Ural mountains have been associated with mysterious beams of light and the death or disappearance of a witness. It has, in fact, happened to nine other people, all dead.

Placebos Getting Stronger... Baffling Scientists.

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:03:12 PST

Placebos are getting stronger, according to yet another study by the University of New York’s Health Science Laboratory. As drug commercials fill our minds with new diseases ranging from restless leg syndrome to shrinking bladders, our bodies have become more in tune with the mysterious health benefits of simply “believing” something will work.

There's Just Something About Clowns...

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 04:05:08 PST

On Halloween we expect to see people walking dressed as all manner of horror movie creations from vampires to werewolves to sheet draped ghosts. But which would you rather run into while walking through a darkened field in the middle of the night, a vampire or a clown? If you answered your door and found someone standing outside asking to use your phone, which would you let into your house? There’s just something about clowns that is unexplainably terrifying to us all.

Roger Williams: The Man Eaten by an Apple Tree

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:43:12 PST

Famed founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, was hailed as a great hero by the people. When he died, he was buried on his own property before being moved in the 19th century to the tomb of one of his descendants in the North Burial Ground. Some wondered if the great Roger Williams was beginning to become annoyed at the constant removal of his body from grave to grave. What admirers found when he was to be exhumed and interred the fourth time, however, would mystify observers.

Fate Pardons

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:41:44 PST

In 1803, a man by the name of Joseph Samuels stood beside the gallows in Sydney Australia, wrists bound behind his back. In assembly was the sheriff, the family of a dead police officer, Joseph Samuels' partner in crime, and a crowd of onlookers eager to see Joseph get his just reward for his high crime of murder. As Samuels shifted uneasily, he reiterated his confession as an accomplice to the theft of a desk containing over 100 gold coins, but again denied he was guilty of murder. Believe it or not, this would not be the last time he would be standing beside the gallows about to be executed. It would seem fate had something else in store for Joseph Samuels.

Shortly before hearing of the Moscow Halo cloud formation, this witness was driving down a lonely stretch of road at night just past the Doylestown area southwest of Akron heading toward Cleveland and he saw a spectacular light show in the sky which he would later describe as bearing a striking resemblance to the Moscow Halo cloud sighted earlier that day.

The Mothman Returns

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:22:17 PST

On November 15, 1966, two couples from Point Pleasant West Virginia witnessed the appearance of an entity that would terrorize the town for weeks. The first documented sighting of the fabled Mothman brought with it fear and apprehension. Some even blame the destruction of the Silver Bridge on the creature. There have been several books, movies, and articles written about it that would eventually cause it to become a popular icon in the paranormal world. And now the Mothman has returned. An individual, who wished to remain anonymous, recently submitted his report to the Munroe Falls Paranormal Society along with a familiar sketch of the creature that not so long ago haunted the dreams of West Virginians. Though it lacks the glowing red eyes, the image clearly has the same shape and stature of the much feared Mothman.

Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:20:29 PST

Christopher Davis was driving home from work on at 2:00 AM in 1988 down the road bordering the edge of old Scape Ore Swamp. It was a balmy June night, the kind when the wildlife around the swamp would howl at the moon. It had been a long day. Davis heard a popping sound, felt the weight of the car shift as one of the tires beneath him blew out. As he finished changing the tire, he heard a thumping sound behind him, like something running on bare feet.

Black Eyed Children: They're Back

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:48:39 PST

You’re working late, about to close up when you hear a timid knocking at the door. A small group of three children are standing silhouetted against the darkness. You get up, wondering what on earth they could be doing here. You turn on the outside lights and see them, pale and expressionless except for the tallest who grins unnaturally as he stares into your soul with eyes of darkest obsidian.

We live about 30 miles from Camp Lejeune in the county. We constantly have low flying military aircraft buzzing our house. We've gotten used to the noise, and expect it on a nightly basis. On 10/07/09 ( 2 days ago) we heard a louder than normal sound over the house, it actually shook the hose.

The Monster of Van Meter

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:28:19 PST

There are several famous monster stories written in the annals of history in the American Midwest, but there is one story which, when remembered, still chills the bones of the inhabitants of a small town called Van Meter, Iowa. The creature was first spotted on October 05, 1903 by a Mr. US Griffith, who first spotted what appeared to be an electric searchlight coasting across a storefront to another building before disappearing. Less than one week later, the peaceful town of 1,000 would be in the grips of panic, refusing to turn any lights off after dark, several refusing to sleep, instead gripping rifles and shotguns and feverishly looking out windows for any signs of a dreaded monster.
