I have asked The Amazing One for his opinion on certain aspects of the following...I'd also like to get the drift of the crew here... 1) Universal Pictures' "White Noise", dealing with EVP -- indeed, the trailer even has the URL for the American Association Electronic Voice Phenomenon (sic)...

Well, the end of the year always brings about these top 10 of the year lists. Here's the Top 10 Paranormal Events of 2004. I'm sure many of these have already been discussed. http://paranormal.about.com/od/paranormalgeneralinfo/a/aa113004.htm

Dear all:. First time! A paranormal ability was demonstrated! I healed up a chronic disease by the paranormal ability of Long Distance QiGong Disease Healing, only several days were used up. Perhaps, Mr. James Randi will be delighted to hear this good news. Please help me to tell this good...

Last year an injured pigeon started hanging around my office building, because people would always give it food. My co-worker wound up taking the bird to her home--60 miles away--to help nurse it back to health, and then a few weeks later, she let it go in her neighborhood. The pigeon showed...

I think sometimes when presented with an issue it's best to just sit back and have a good hard look at it for a while. With all the paranormal claims in the world these are currectly the best examples who are most willing to be tested: The current claim situation Now I'm not saying that none...

I'm getting pretty sick of 1inChrist's claims and insults, they are petty and insane... While there are a significant number of intelligent people with degrees and without, and intelligence is not measured with religious beliefs, educational does impact people's reasoning and critical thinking...

I study the Chinese martial art of Taijiquan (or T'ai Chi Chuen). There are many extraordinary legends and claims surrounding that art. It turns out that some of them are true and valid, others not. To take two examples:- (1) YES it is possible for an old, frail looking gentleman to...

Having seen Ms Kelly's book mentioned in, I think, Mr Randi's weekly commentary, I contacted Lynn, who put me onto the Australian Skeptics Online Shop - http://vs240081.server-store.com/store/products/item151.inetstore I bought a copy which arrived a few days ago. This is a good book. Lynn...

Anything of it peer-reviewed? Will appreciate any help thanks.

What if someone makes a claim of the following sort: (1) "On September 28th, 2004, I will be able to levitate one small object having a mass of 20 grams or less for a period of 20 seconds." (2) "On October 27th, 2004, I will be able to close my eyes and see the serial numbers on money in the...

Hi, I'm after a good objective book on various anomalous experiences to purchase. I've been doing some looking around and this looks like it might be a decent one. Here is an abstract and description of each chapter. Has anyone read this book, and would they recommend it?

This is a real hoot... http://www.news40.volvocars.co.za/flash/default.asp Whoda thunk the Swedish could be so funny?

http://domain600823.sites.fasthosts.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=110&PN=1 If you visit page 2 and 3, "Rick" who is the administrator challenges the JREF paranormal challenge. I post as 'Tarot' there, and believe I've addressed his concerns. Mia Dolan has also claimed that she applied for the JREF...

I've been between jobs for five months and the first time I turn on day-time TV I pick a winner. The Matthew Wright show will be discussing the principle of paranormal TV and whether there should be more seances and the like. You can contribute here Matthew Wright show home page And Sean...

This Mexican UFO story got me to thinking. Is there any kind of worldwide coordinating body for skeptics? When some big, splashy paranormal story like this UFO video pops up and is getting wide attention and a lot of acceptance as possibly "guenuine," is there any kind of coordinated...

Excellent series of articles in New Scientist about the difficulties science is having investigating parapsychology. Extensive coverage of the work Richard Wiseman is doing. It's only £2.40, so go pick it up..

International Society for Paranormal Research http://www.ispr.net/ I found a video on sale for a few bucks from these people. Anyone know anything about them?

http://www.worldofalternatives.com/paranormal-olympics.htm How will it work ? * There will be a preliminary online test. This will test your predictive ability. * All data will be processed by leading UK paranormal investigative group ASSAP * High scores will be invited to continue to...

I managed to stumble across this little gem today. The Paranormal Olympics While jokes about merging it with the "Special Olympics" spring immediately to mind, I'll refrain. On a serious note, though, someone ought to keep an eye on it and invite the winner to test for Randi's million...

It just burned my Fish in 5 minutes and then took 30 minutes to cook the chips. Damned paranormal if you ask me.

"Real sciences are distinguished as much by their mistakes as by their successes." ============================================= I see. So how come we can rely on science at any particular time to judge paranormal events ? Who SAID " "Real sciences are distinguished as much by their mistakes...

This is both paranormal and scientific at the same time. Go to the forum and check it out.

Here's one I shot with my digital camera -- could I have been the only one to capture this amazing event? It looks like something was ejected, or perhaps launched, from the moon!! Amazing that it would happen at the time of an eclipse! not really, just wondering if Luci will jump on this...

We're all thinking it. Larry King and the Paranormal P.S. If this has been posted already...oops.

Here is a handy listing of those who lead the woo woo movement. Presented without any critical analysis but some useful links. I certainly had not heard of all of them. John Edward is missing but I guess that's because he doesn't really "teach" anything. Sylvia, of course, is there in all...

Now, understand it's late and I'm tired, but I'll do the best I can. The lecture began at 8pm, but I didn't get there until 8:30pm. The speaker was John Zaffis. His contact info was available to take down after the show, so I did. His web page is www.prsne.com and his phone is...
