It's rare that I post something here that is doesn't cover weird areas of science, the paranormal, the body, the mind, ghosts, or UFOs. Well, I HAD to post this video. Make sure to watch it in full HD on Youtube. If anything, it shows the power and creativity of the human spirit. Enjoy.

Ghost Hunting Theories Blog

If you have ever looked at our comments, you'll notice that Autumnforest is one of Paranormal Searcher's most prolific and informed commenters. But you may not know that Autumnforest has her own blog, Ghost Hunting Theories. Lots of good stuff over there, so check it out!

This is a place to knock around theories of the supernatural. I've been ghost hunting for many years, experienced lots of interesting phenomenon, and grew up in a famously haunted house called "Aspen Grove" in Fairfax, VA (a 250+-year-old manor home used as a field Hospital during the Civil War) My goal is to share ideas with others and see what sort of common ground we can find in the search for answers of all things unexplained.

Happy anniversary SETI: 50 years of searching for extraterrestrial intelligence

Nature.com-- Despite the long odds against success, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence has come a long way.

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), a research discipline that celebrates the 50th anniversary of its inaugural publication this week, has always sat at the edge of mainstream astronomy. This is partly because, no matter how scientifically rigorous its practitioners try to be, SETI can't escape an association with UFO believers and other such crackpots. But it is also because SETI is arguably not a falsifiable experiment.

Regardless of how exhaustively the Galaxy is searched, the null result of radio silence doesn't rule out the existence of alien civilizations. It means only that those civilizations might not be using radio to communicate. Indeed, SETI is marked by a hope, bordering on faith, that not only are there civilizations broadcasting out there, but that they are somehow intent on beaming their signals at Earth. An alien SETI project relying on a similar faith in Earth would be sorely disappointed. It's true that a random mix of radar and television signals has been expanding outwards from Earth at the speed of light for the past 70 years. But there have been only a few short-lived attempts to target radio messages at other stars — with each attempt arousing concerns over alien reprisals. Understandably, many scientists who support SETI in spirit have instead pursued astronomical targets more likely to offer positive data — and tenure. Governments have also been averse to funding an effort so likely to turn up nothing.

UFOs & Aliens: The Great Deception

Arthur Conan Doyle's OUIJA board found at Edinburgh College of Parapsychology

Deadline Scotland-- A OUIJA board thought to have been used by the creator of Sherlock Holmes has been found in a secret compartment at a school of paranormal studies.

Staff at the Edinburgh College of Parapsychology found the occult Victorian device hidden in small cupboard built into a kitchen wall, 20 feet out of reach.

The spooky find – used to spell out messages during a Séance – is thought to have been used by mystery writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Man grows new skull after decades

BBC News-- The severely damaged skull of a Northumberland man involved in a car crash 50 years ago has regenerated itself, a process thought to be rare.

Doctors operated to treat an infection in Gordon Moore's head and found the bone had grown back beneath the metal plate inserted after the accident.

This would not be unusual in a child, whose bones are growing, but there are very few documented cases in adults.

Brain Waves Surge Moments Before Death

Discovery.com-- Oct. 6, 2009 -- A study of seven terminally ill patients found identical surges in brain activity moments before death, providing what may be physiological evidence of "out of body" experiences reported by people who survive near-death ordeals.

Doctors at George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates recorded brain activity of people dying from critical illnesses, such as cancer or heart attacks.

Moments before death, the patients experienced a burst in brain wave activity, with the spikes occurring at the same time before death and at comparable intensity and duration.

Astrospies: USA's Black Ops Space Program

PBS.org-- Millions remember the countdowns, launchings, splashdowns, and parades as the U.S. raced the USSR to the moon in the 1960s. But few know that both countries also ran parallel space programs, whose covert goal was to launch military astronauts on spying missions. In this program, NOVA delves into the untold story of this top-secret space race, which might easily have turned into a shooting war in orbit.

Coproduced by investigative journalist James Bamford, acclaimed best-selling author of The Puzzle Palace and Emmy Award-winning producer Scott Willis, "Astrospies" uncovers new clues about the tensest period of the Cold War, when the U.S. and USSR were on the verge of war and desperate for intelligence on each other's nuclear capabilities.
