Man Sues for Out of Body Experience at Hospital

VANCOUVER - A Campbell River man has received $63,000 in damages for an "out-of-body experience" in which he said he saw God after being accidentally overdosed with the painkiller Ketamine while recovering from back surgery in Vancouver General Hospital.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Frank Cole made the award to former social worker Bradley Weafer, 38, but rejected Weafer's claim that he had suffered significant brain damage as a result of the overdose, which occurred Aug. 11, 2001.

Cole found that Weafer suffered psychological trauma from the overdose, in which he received the entire contents of a 500-milligram bag of Ketamine -- being administered intravenously -- over a five-minute period. He was supposed to have received three millilitres an hour for 24 hours.

The overdose caused him to lose consciousness and he needed to be resuscitated. He later told his parents he'd had a terrifying out-of-body experience, which medical evidence indicated was one of the side-effects of a Ketamine overdose.

He initially claimed to have suffered a heart attack as a result of the overdose, but this claim wasn't pursued at trial.

Cole found that Weafer had experienced poor health before the Ketamine incident.

The judge rejected claims that chest pains Weafer says he suffered were from CPR being performed on him and that the pain "insofar as it exists" was not caused by the incident.

Witnesses said Weafer was talking like a child when they visited him in hospital and he said he has experienced speech problems since the overdose. However, Cole dismissed that claim and said if Weafer has any speech problems, "they do not appear to impair his life."

Weafer told the court that before the overdose, he remembered being hooked up to medication and falling asleep.

"He said his life changed," Cole wrote in his reasons for judgment.

"He said: 'I was sucked down into black tunnels where I've never been before. People pulling me around by my feet, all black, was hot, scary, saw life flash in front of me. I saw my mother, felt being born and placed in my mother's arms, life review of all the good and bad . . . then I shot up through the sky surrounded like a shower of white light, went straight through the clouds and saw this figure to the right and he had a white cap on, look at his face and he wouldn't let me see his face. It was a bright white light. He was an office-tower high, larger than any building I'd ever seen.'"

Weafer then described seeing a gathering of people waiting for him on the other side of a trellis -- further journeys down into blackness and back into light --until he woke up and found doctors asking him questions.

He told them, "I just saw God and was fighting for my life."

In dismissing Weafer's claims of brain damage, Cole nevertheless said the man "suffered a great degree of stress and anxiety due to the Ketamine incident. The near-death experience was terrifying."

He awarded Weafer $55,000 in damages, $5,000 for the expenses of his parents looking after him and $3,000 in special damages.

London's Natural History Museum secures Loch Ness Monster rights

The Loch Ness monster will go on display at London’s Natural History Museum if it is caught under a deal negotiated with bookmakers William Hill.

The museum has secured the rights to showcase Nessie’s remains should it be captured, in exchange for verifying her existence on behalf of the bookmakers.

Under the deal, formalised in 1987 and revealed in archive documents released by the museum, William Hill pays the museum an annual fee on return for the guarantee its experts will provide “positive identification” of the elusive creature.

The agreement, which has netted the museum at least £22,000, also covers the Yeti.

The bookmaker currently offers odds of 500/1 on the existence of the Loch Ness monster being proved within a year and 200/1 for the Yeti.

Graham Sharpe, spokesman for William Hill, said: "We have maintained our relationship with the Natural History Museum and are delighted to do so.

“As we rely on the Met Office to rule on white Christmases, we are dependent on the museum to tell us whether any carcass that may emerge from the loch is a haddock, or a previously unknown creature from the deep.”

Other archive documents include an internal letter to museum staff in 1959 warning them against taking part in monster hunts in case it "damaged the institution's reputation".

A Natural History Museum spokeswoman said: "The study of the diversity of life on earth is at the very heart of the Natural History Museum. It is estimated that 90 per cent of life on earth remains undiscovered and every year Natural History Museum scientists help discover, name, and generate vital information about new species and how they relate to similar ones.”

“In all circumstances, as a scientific institution the Natural History Museum relies on the objective use of scientific evidence to do this."

The Haunted Mortuary is an icon of old New Orleans at the very dead end of world famous Canal Street. Less than 3 miles from the enchanting French Quarter, this magnificent mansion was originally built in 1872 and operated for about 80 years as an actual MORTUARY. The property is monitored 24/7 with devices to watch, listen, and record the existence of real ghosts. This is an actively-haunted, 14,000 square foot, 3-story mansion that is reported to have numerous known resident ghosts.

"It's not your typical Haunted House," says Jeff Borne owner of The Mortuary. "The Mortuary Haunted House property is surrounded by actual graveyards. Ghost Hunters from around the world have come to The Mortuary to experience unearthly entities throughout the property year round. Now add to what is undoubtedly a very scary environment to begin with, state of the art animatronics, theatrical sets, movie quality makeup, and special effects and you get to experience one of the most terrifying Halloween haunts ever. To top that all off, the place was featured by The Travel Channel as one of 'America's Scariest Attractions!' As well, it is being featured on the Discovery Channel's new paranormal show, Ghost Lab, this Halloween Season. It's the perfect setting for a one-of-kind haunted house!"

Upon entering the dark corridors of The Mortuary Haunted House, victims... I mean... guests will encounter the works of a twisted mortician named Ravencroft who discovered the secret to immortality many years ago when he unknowingly removed the life rejuvenating fluids from a body in the process of transforming into a vampire. He experimented on all forms of living and dead matter with the fluid, including himself. Now he needs an endless supply of blood to continue his ghastly experiments and to extend his own life. Guests will experience Ravencroft's experiments and his unfortunate results.

By popular demand, this year's attraction will open Friday, Sept. 11th and run weekends through Nov. 14th plus all of Halloween Week. Borne added, "During the weekend of Nov. 6th, we will also feature a special Flashlight Fear Fest Weekend where our brave guests will tour The Mortuary in complete darkness with only micro-flashlights to guide their way. And, during the weekend of November 13th, we will host an exclusive Friday The 13th Slasher Weekend hosted by your favorite horror movie serial killers wielding machetes, finger blades, and of course, a chainsaw maniac! You'll be the victim in your own adrenaline filled slasher movie only at The Mortuary Haunted House. It's terror extreme at The Mortuary Haunted House.

“Obama will be a one-term President,” says Psychic and Astrologer Irene Hughes

Tomorrow's headlines from famous Chicago psychic and astrologer Irene Hughes - from her new book, "Memoirs of a Psychic and Astrologer":

• The stock market will crash, along with a depression worse than 1929
• Rebellions and violence will take to the streets
• Terrorist attacks will hit the United States
• A natural disaster will disrupt communications

Hughes foresees these dramatic and catastrophic events that will shake the United States and other parts of the world. Eclipses on July 7 and July 21 2009 were in the zodiac sign of Cancer - the nation's birth sign. These eclipses, a solar eclipse on August 5, and a lunar eclipse on December 31 and Mercury retrogrades in September and December will usher in these earthshaking events during 2009 and beyond.

These predictions are in Hughes' book that is featured on her new website: irenehughes.net. The book was published in August at booksurge.com.

Hughes recounts the story behind her prediction of the Great Chicago Blizzard in 1967 that brought her world fame. And, she describes the tumultuous events that will affect the Presidency, terrorism, and the economy now... and into the future.
