"People who feel lonely are more likely to believe in the supernatural, whether that is God, angels or miracles, a new study finds.
Humans have evolved as social creatures, so loneliness cuts to the quick. Living in groups was critical to the survival and safety of our ancient ancestors, and "complete isolation or ostracism has been tantamount to a death sentence," said University of Chicago researcher Nicholas Epley, who led the study.

If you are interested in all things involving death and what comes after, I highly suggest checking out the Dead Science Internet Show. Hosted by Rob Fitzgerald, this show covers everything from executions, to technology, to all things paranormal. The most recent show, show 36, was all about the controversial subject of "Ghost Boxes" or "Frank's Boxes", and whether or not they really work.
I highly suggest checking this show out.

I found this article over at C-net's news.com. Even though it is a lot of info we have all read before, it was still an interesting read.
"When Sharon Leong conducts field work, she packs a digital camera, a thermometer and an electromagnetic field meter. She isn't a private detective or an electrician. Leong, a legal secretary by day, is an avid ghost hunter by night."

I found this over at My Paranormal Life. This is a really interesting video, of what looks like a kid walking by the camera. Of course, with the compression from YouTube, it is not the cleanest video in the world, but it is still interesting nonetheless.
Sorry for the long time since my last update. Just wanted to let you all know that due to some real world situations, I have had to dedicate more of my time away from the site. However, some time between July and August, I will have a lot more time to dedicate to the site.
I will, however, continue to add links from now until then. So keep submitting them, and I will keep adding them!
Thank you all for your continued patronage!

Yes, I know, no one likes advertising all over web sites. However, this is my plan: I only plan on having one banner location, and it will be at the bottom of the menu down the left site of the main page, and it will be nice and small. This will give people an opportunity to check out things that I am interested in.
So, now, to announce the new advertiser: Ghost Research Society Press! The Ghost Research Society is ran by Dale Kaczmarek, was created in 1977, and have done a lot for the field of research into the paranormal. Mr. Kaczmarek has written several very informative books, and this is where you can buy them!
So, if you are interested in any of his books, feel free to check them out here!

Western New York Supernatural Summit, April 13 - 15, 2007
"This was the paranormal conference of the year in 2006 that went far beyond lectures and stories. The Supernatural Summit brought some of the leading experts in paranormal research to investigators through a weekend long event. In April of 2007, the Supernatural Summit will be bigger and more educational than last year, geared from the beginner to the experienced investigators."
"Join professional, amateur hunters and just plain ghost lovers as they investigate the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO. This magnificent Hotel was the inspiration to Stephen King’s “The Shining” and he himself spent time there developing his horrific nightmare, that we still enjoy today. Granted the spirits in his award winning book are more on the devilish side. The hotel does house some of the less life threatening spooks and has possibly done so shortly after its opening in 1909. This amazing structure offers the ghost hunters a late night investigation as we venture into it’s darkened halls and closed down facilities. The night may hold an eerie silent chill, but who’s to say some spirits are just dying to speak to an unsuspecting ghost hunter. So spend the weekend learning what other ghost hunters do, collecting evidence, sharing your findings or just make new paranormal friends as we investigate the ghosts of Haunted Stanley Hotel.
Tickets for this event are $35 per person.
Rooms are $99 a night (double occupancy) for this special event. So please remember to let them know you are with the Ghost Hunters Getaway.
You will be responsible for your our own travel and hotel arrangements.
More details and event are being scheduled, so please feel free to contact AGHOST at
Even though this is not paranormal news, anyone who is a tech-head as much as myself will know what this is all about. James Kim, one of the editors for cnet.com, as well as one of the co-hosts for one of their video podcasts, was found deceased today at age 35. He was a really great guy, and even though I only got to trade emails with him once, he seemed like a really great guy. He sacrificed everything for his family, and as far as I am concerned, is a true hero. We will miss you, James. Much love and good vibes need to be sent to his family, Kati, Penelope, and Sabine. Read more of the story here.
