Filled with some impressive intellectual snippets, the book also provides a bit of education to enthusiasts of the spirit world--on quite a few occasions, I found myself reading about legal cases I was not familiar with, and explanations behind spiritual communication that I had not heard before, and trust me, I've heard a lot.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 26 Apr 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Princess Awaits Your Arrival - Mount Washington Hotel]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1513</link><description><![CDATA[When you think of hotels, you mostly think of suites, a hotel breakfast, maybe even an indoor pool. Not necessarily, when it comes to the Mount Washington Hotel at least. This hotel, which was designed by architect Charles Alling Gifford, was designed to look like a "Spanish Renaissance Revival", has some guests that do check out, but SOME have decided to make this five story hotel their eternal home.]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Always on the Margins: Paranormal Investigators and the Politics of Culture]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1511</link><description><![CDATA[Paranormal investigators, mediums, and researchers into the field of survival of consciousness are occupying a liminal space by virtue not only of their object of study, but of the interplay between investigator and the other worlds they enter at will. One must occupy these liminal spaces in order to understand them; in other words, the subject of your research turns you into an object of it, as well.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unidentified Flying Critters in South Carolina]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1510</link><description><![CDATA[UFOs, are an interesting subject, but did you ever hear about UFC's? At this point I'm going to take a little beginners license and steal a phrase from research papers done by a gentleman by the name of Trevor James Constable. He is a scientist credited with the photography of CRITTERS, as he named them and certainly produced enough written material to make it worth your time reading. He explored an area 50 years ago that I certainly would not have been interested in at that time but in view of present-day phenomenons I believe anyone would be interested now. I believe these are the first quality, pix to be published, and they come with a long story . I hope there is going to be enough interest to satisfy my curiosity at least. I have finally located a person who is an actual eye-witness to what I merely obtained game-cam digital pix of. It is my hope that others who have seen critters, at least, or better yet have clear pictures will come forth and share.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Book Review: The Paranormal Equation]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1507</link><description><![CDATA[The Paranormal Equation is a new book by James D. Stein, attempting to provide a new scientific perspective on what many would consider to be inexplicable, supernatural phenomena. He begins by defining what he means by supernatural using the Merriam Webster dictionary of the term: "Of or relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe; especially: of or relating to God or a god, demigod, spirit, or devil." Science, however, does not confine "observable" to "visible"--if we were stuck with constricting ourselves to the visible, then electrons, bacteria, radio, and x-rays would be considered supernatural phenomena, so it is not accurate enough. The second part of the definition of the supernatural the author visits is: "departing from what is usual or normal especially so as to appear to transcend the laws of nature," and this, he states, is something that science can study, as transcendent laws have been hinted at by logical proofs provided by mathematicians over the past century--in p]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 30 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Paranormal Unity - What It Means to Me]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1506</link><description><![CDATA[I've been hearing a lot about "Paranormal Unity" lately and even though I don't have the complete grasp of what it means as a whole, I'm going to make a guess: My guess would be that it means that no matter what we do, no matter how much evidence we have, no matter how many millions of stories are out there, we just can't win them all. And no matter what, there's going to be those who simply put their fingers into their ears, shut their eyes, and not listen. See no evil, hear no evil. There are those who just don't want to listen and it's almost like nails on a chalkboard for them to even take a moment and rationalize the possibility of their being life after death. And where does the paranormal unity talk come from? We got to stick together.]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1506</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do It Yourself Ghost Hunting - Volume 3: The Technique Behind E.V.P]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1505</link><description><![CDATA[You want to try to approach them like they are one of us, because if you go in there like some people, "How'd you die? Were you murdered?" These are sensitive questions that you should not start out with. You should try to form a bond with the spirit. Try to talk to them like they are one of you. Start off with introducing yourself and maybe asking what the spirits name is.]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 29 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Haunting The Past]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1503</link><description><![CDATA[Cognitive processes are not wholly confined ‘in the head.' When you depend on an external item to aid with cognition, such as using a calculator or writing directions down on a piece of paper, the depency on the external element creates a coupled system, one external to you and one internal to you, which together can be seen as an extension of your consciousness into the environment itself. This coupled system may, in fact, be the reason why houses are haunted. Coupled systems from the past may create ‘hauntings' where external elements of cognition linger long after the coupled system was severed by the onslaught of death. It is thus up to the paranormal investigator, not to find blips and beeps on a recording device without context, but to uncover these external cognitions still at work and learn more about the context, almost as if they were archaeologists discovering bones--left over pieces of people's active beliefs and culture--in a long forgotten tomb.]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 03 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Participation, Observation, and Performance (P.O.P.) in Ghost Research: Is it "Live" or a "Recording"?]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1502</link><description><![CDATA[I am an archaeologist. I re-define the past through the material remains of past presence that I unearth through excavation. The past becomes present in this archaeological process. But what happens when that past continues to percolate "live" (and is not a residual material remains) in the present? As an archaeologist, I know that the past is not "dead". I uncover its remains through excavation and reconstruction. But what happens when that past manifests (and interacts) because of some field practice that I have just performed?]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 02 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Book Review: Ghost Culture: Theories, Context and Scientific Practice]]></title><link>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1501</link><description><![CDATA[Ghost Culture: Theories, Context, and Scientific Practice, is a book written by John G. Sabol Jr, concerning the scientific gathering of ghost data and how to better improve and catalog research from fellow investigators. Rather than relying solely on instruments from our culture to record ghosts as outside intruders, investigators should focus on hauntings as the manifestation of a drama (rituals and rites of passage) in time peopled by ghosts which must be entered  in order to connect.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 29 Oct 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid>http://www.paranormalnews.com/article.aspx?id=1501</guid></item></channel></rss>
