Supernatural Studies in the Material World

One doesn't typically get the chills
during a PowerPoint presentation in a well-heated conference room.
But ghost stories were the hot topic at a two-day event in San
Francisco's Cowell Theater billed as the first scientific conference
on the afterlife for a general audience.
Take, for example, a tale spun by "Professor Paranormal" Loyd
Auerbach, a former teacher in the now-closed parapsychology
department of Pleasant Hill's John F. Kennedy University, about a
ghost named Lois.
The story is set in the mid-'80s, when a family moved to an old
Victorian house in Livermore. Soon after settling in, they became
aware of a ghost named Lois, the former owner of the house, who was
developing a relationship with the 12-year-old son. The boy told his
family that he spoke to Lois daily. "Apparently," Auerbach said,
"Lois even helped him with his homework..."

Puerto Rico: Giant UFO Over Guanica
by Jose A.
Martinez, Inexplicata
Last night, January
18 2008 at 10:15 p.m. on the coastal sector of Guanica (southwestern
Puerto Rico) an enormous classic "flying saucer" object was
reported, with hundreds of rows of red lights surroudning it. Before
the sighting, the witnesses alleged -- and I confirm what they said
-- having heard an airplane flying overhead at exactly that time, as
I was watching television at that hour. The witnesses were more
numerous in the upper area of Vivones when they observed the transit
of the airplane, followed by this round, enormous flying artifact
with red lights.
The object rested for several minutes on a nearby hill, at very low
altitude, nearly treetop level, blinding witnesses with its red
lights. Among them were Roberto Garcia and wife Patricia, who tried
to photograph the object with their cell phone but didn't manage to
obtain an image. Other local residents were frightened and unable to
sleep that night after the object took off toward Lajas at high
spped. The witnesses told me that this is not the first case that
they've seen in the at this hour of the night...
