Life After Death - Paranormal. General We all should be reasonably open-minded skeptics and for psychic phenomena indicative of life after death, only accept the theory that there is survival of consciousness after physical death when theories along normal lines and/or ESP (psi) fail to account for all of the evidence. ∙ There is no doubt that in a relatively short period of time, science has made great strides in understanding the physical world.
Because of this, many people believe that if presently there is not a scientific explanation for something, it is not a question of if it will be explained by science but a matter of when. Applying this to the various paranormal phenomena, these people believe science will either have a complete explanation in the future or it is just a deception of some sort.

A Cat Image Source. The Real Ghosts of Sleepy Hollow. For centuries, one location in the United States has captivated the collective creepy imagination.

Still a favorite topic of movies and television shows, you could call it “a ghouled place to live”, but Sleepy Hollow will suffice. Now, Sleepy Hollow is indeed a real place. It’s not the same as it was back in 1818 when Irving penned his classic American ghost story, but almost two centuries later, the town still celebrates its biggest claim to fame. Formerly known as North Tarrytown, this village was renamed Sleepy Hollow in 1996 to pay homage to Irving’s story and identify itself as the home to America’s very first wildly popular ghost story.

While that remains to be seen, the stories of personal run-ins with the Black Eyed Kids keep racking up in our inbox.. and our nightmares. Urban Explorers make gruesome discovery in Odessa Catacombs. Time for a public service announcement: while secret, underground parties that happen in places like the off-limits areas of the Paris Catacombs look like a blast, they’re illegal for a reason.
Case in point – it’s really, really, really easy to get lost, as one poor girl discovered after a party in Odessa. Odessa, just outside of Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, is home to one of the largest catacombs in the entire world. World's Oldest Living Janus Cat Dies at 15.

Sadly, on December 4th, Frank and Louie went off to kitty heaven after 15 years of relatively normal cat life. On average, diprosopus cats only survive for a few days after birth. More commonly, the condition (found occasionally in many different animals as well as humans) is referred to by the name of the two-faced Roman god of beginning and transitions: Janus.

Approximately 50 yards from the intersection with Medina Line Road, he stopped his car when two deer raced across the road heading south. Santa As An Enigmatic Entity. The roots of the modern interpretation of Santa Claus are often traced back to the mid-19th Century poem, “A Visit From St Nicholas” by Clement Moore.
Though the poem has also been attributed to others, for our discussion, let us leave that argument for another time. Our concern here is with the words of the poem more so than who wrote it. It is from this poem that modern Christmas, in regards to Santa Claus, takes most of its images. Yes Forteans, (Maybe?) There is a Santa Claus. “VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong.

In the remote hills of New York State, there may have been an unreported Close Encounter of the Third Kind (CEIII).* This may seem unremarkable until it’s revealed that the event occurred in the latter half of the 19th Century.
