Britian's Most Haunted - again

This interesting article is about the third site that I have come across claiming that illustrious title of 'Britain's Most Haunted...'. I love Britain, and the competition for the best 'ghostiness' doesn't matter to me in the least.

Burke and Hare, two seedy characters who supplied a surgeon with bodies for his anatomy class, during a time when dissection was illegal, were reputed to have acquired corpses in these vaults of Edinburgh.

Of course the fresher the body the better the pay for the suppliers, so you know where B&H went with that. That would definitely add an aura of evilness to any place they 'shopped'.

Someone should organize a tour of the Most Haunted Places in Britain, moderated by me, to visit said 'Most Haunted' places and check them out. We could then vote on it. Wouldn't mean a thing because I doubt spirits would perform for the sake of being #1, but it could be a whole lot of fun checking it out. Of course you wouldn't want to go alone. That's what I think.

Psychic School of Excellence

There really is a Hogwarts! Or at least there will be if Kevin Horkin has his way.

This forward thinking businessman is trying to purchase a derelict castle in North Wales with the intention of turning it into a topnotch psychic retreat and seminar centre. I think he's onto something and what a perfect place to do it in.

Britain has long been home to some of the oldest and most mysterious phenomena. From the country where the fairy faith thrived for centuries, to the countryside where elaborate crop circles appear in a whirling dervish of time, Britain has always been a gathering ground for psychics. It seems like a given.

And I know I would like to talk to a group of them. It has long been my experience, and complaint, about those who would help us see beyond the veil of time, that their interpretation is often off. If only those with the vision would just relay what they see, rather than try and figure out for us what the meaning is behind it, I think we would be further ahead.

Perhaps we expect psychics to be mind readers and think that if they are really worth their suss then they'll automatically know how what they see applies to us personally. This is a disservice to those of us paying for their services; and to them and their abilities. I'm sure they have the best of intentions but I believe making use of a psychic involves our active participation.

That's what I think.

Ancient Shipwreck

What was life like 3000 years ago?

Many of us, if you are as time challenged as I can be, might imagine our hallowed ancestors hopping around with knuckles dragging along the ground, and grunting out a few syllables, trying to develop a communication system. ... not unlike a late Saturday night at many of the current alcoholic watering holes.

I'm kidding - I think...

But no! Well yes, I am kidding, but no - they were much more 'civilized' than that.

Evidence in the form of an ancient shipwreck - although in truth it is more the size of a large canoe than a ship - is proving that trade was very active between Britain and the Continent even a thousand years before Christ. And this isn't the first time a vessel from that era has been found. The illustration is a 'remake' of a photo by Bill Curtsinger of a gold chalice and a two handled cup found amid wreckage of an ancient merchant vessel that sank near Turkey some 3400 years ago.

Things like this are very exciting to me. I would love to travel the world exploring archeological sites, ancient forests and medieval castles. Anyone want to pay me to do that?

Nfld Premier Danny Williams a 'UFO Guy"

The Newfoundland UFO sighting at Harbour Mille on January 25 is a story that, like the rocket it resembled, seems to keep on going up. People from all walks of life are discussing it, offering opinions, and having fun with the story, as well as taking it seriously enough to investigate. Newfoundland's Premier, Danny Williams, is following the story with interest, calling himself a UFO guy.

Darlene Stewart and her friend, Elly Pardy, were photographing the sunset on January 25 when they saw several bullet-like objects seem to rise out of the ocean and go streaking across the sky, leaving flaming trails behind them. The phenomena were visible for up to ten minutes, and they took several pictures.

The news immediately spread. The UFO's have been investigated by the RCMP, the Canadian military, and contact was made with other militaries to see if any missile tests were being performed anywhere in the area. Apparently, they were not.

In the usual search for reasonable explanations, theories have been advanced that it was model rocket enthusiasts shooting off rockets, or that it was the 'December phenomenon', when sunset's slanting rays can make an aircraft contrail light up like fire.

First off, nobody in Harbour Mille has model rockets as a hobby, nor are they likely to shoot them off from the ocean. And one look at the photos show the objects and their flaming tails to look nothing like an aircraft or its jetstream.

In the absence of answers, this sighting remains a UFO. And that suits Premier Danny Williams just fine, who enjoys a good unexplained mystery. He is headed for heart surgery that will sideline him for a number of weeks. Perhaps he needs a copy of Almanac of The Infamous, The Incredible, and The Ignored to give him a spoonful of laughter and a dose of wonder during his convalescence. Not that anybody who lives in Newfoundland is any stranger to wonder, of course.
