Welcome to Glimpses of the Paranormal Newsletter!
Hello Everyone
Don't you just love spring! I truly enjoy watching everything turn green again and seeing the flowers begin to sprout in the garden. I remember running into a woman while waiting for a bus last spring and I expressed my delight with the approaching warmer season. I was startled when all she could do was grumble and complain about spring because of all of the yard work she would have to do. Even though my fibro might act up more at this time of year, I welcome this season as a time when every living thing is renewed with life and that is surely a most positive thing. I hope this season brings you renewal in all areas of your life too.
For me, spring has turned into a very busy time. With help from one of my daughters, I now have Blood Vengeance: (Cold Case #4-183) Not of this World completed and sent off to a couple of publishers. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
As well, I have been very busy setting up a large number of web pages for a new site operated by my Blood Vengeance co-writer, Stan Tjaden. If you are a boomer, senior or over 50, you will find plenty of interest on this site. It is not yet complete, but you can take a peak here: http://www.agingwithcreativity.com.
For all of you over 50, boomers and seniors who enjoy writing or would like to try your hand at it, I will also be setting up another site called Boomers Write. Hopefully, I will have more news on this one next month.

FEATURE ARTICLE
This month's story comes from 20-year-old Aesciane Lilith Rose of Omaha, Nebraska. Ally tells us about the spirit of a woman she calls Mabel, whom she encountered during a paranormal research investigation. Here is what happened in her own words:
Medium Attempts to help Mabel Cross Over
I walked into the house with the feeling I normally get when I ghost-hunt with my paranormal research group - partial excitement for the research in the name of science, partial apprehension at what we would find. It was always an interesting thing - because sometimes what had happened to the spirits in question was extremely, extremely stressful and chaotic. As a medium, I feel what the spirits feel. They sometimes give me visitations when they get comfortable with my presence - which means me, seeing and experiencing every bit and detail of the events leading up to their death, and their death in itself.
The only thing I really saw in the house was walls, columns, doors and windows. The family who had lived there before had decided that the paranormal occurrences in their home were too much, especially how they were impacting the daughters, and had packed up and moved without even looking into getting a new home first.
I wandered through the house until I found the pantry. It was bare and empty, and no matter how hard I searched, I could not find a trick door or extra space for a person to hide - so that refuted any possible debunking that cynics had attempted to make of the videos that the former residents had filmed of this ghost.
What I noticed while walking through the rest of the house was that there were trauma spots everywhere - basically what sensitives call "cold spots -" where the ghost had experienced seriously horrid moments that I shuddered to think of. What this little girl had probably gone through made me shake with terror and rage. I was receiving a young girl in my mind - a nine-year-old, at least - and whatever had happened to her had to have been at the hands of someone bigger and more powerful than she.
My group knew that I would go down in visitational trance any moment. Each time we went into a haunted home, the group appointed a sitter for me, so that if I went down while walking up or down a set of stairs, I would be caught and protected. It didn't matter what I was doing - Any second, any place, I could go down. And at this particular place, I went down in the kitchen.
The first thing I saw was rage and blood. I opened my eyes in the vision and saw a man standing over me. I got my head together - I knew that this had to be what the entity was showing me. Then I saw this man, gray-haired and extremely angry, bring his boot down in my face. The vision blacked - and then I came to and the gray-haired man was sharpening a knife and swearing. He took the newly sharpened knife and cut me in long, deep, sharp strokes the whole way down my left arm, then my right, then down my chest, across my throat, and legs. He did as slowly as he possibly could - and it was excruciating. I couldn't really understand why he was doing this…
Finally he grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to the pantry. He opened the door, smashed my head into the side of the wall, and threw me inside the pantry. He then shut the door and barred it with a heavy piece of furniture.
I blacked out.
It was then that I came back to myself - a full hour after I had gone down. I lay on the floor for about ten minutes, collecting myself. Once I was fully to myself, I quickly related what I had seen to my friends who were holding the tape recorder and the video camera. Then I picked myself up, turned to the pantry and called Mabel's name. She had not revealed her real name to me - if Mabel were her true name, she would have responded to the exorcism the previous owners had performed, the blessings, the mediums. So I called, "Mabel…"
The door came open, as it had done so many times before - except this time she was responding to me. She stood in the empty frame of the door, watching me. She still had that dark, tortured look. I didn't know what to say to her. How do you tell a nine-year-old the truth about her condition, explain that you cannot explain why she was treated that way? I don't remember how long I hesitated. This wasn't fear - this was anxiety, pity and sorrow. So many other cases I had worked on, I remember exactly that I did not have a single problem talking to the entity after the visitation.
But here, in front of Mabel, who had suffered unspeakable anguish, I faltered.
"Mabel," I said. My friends took video, wrote notes. "Mabel - is that your name, honey?" She nodded. I sighed. The daughter of the family who had previously lived in this home must have been sensitive to some degree. Otherwise, she would not have seen Mabel.
"Mabel, do you understand that you are not alive anymore? Do you understand that this is not your era, your year or your home anymore? Don't you wonder where your mother is?"
Mabel turned her face down to the floor.
"Mabel, you need to move on, sweetie."
No answer.
"Mabel."
No answer.
I sighed. Mabel was going to take some work - she was certainly not up to actually speaking to me. I turned to my friends and said, "She's not wanting to talk… Let's leave her alone…"
We left the house in disappointment. We'd wanted to help her, really - but her choice had been made. An entity cannot be forced to cross over.
I believe that the truth about Mabel is that she had been haunting so long and so much that she had never been told in all sincerity that heaven is better than keeping herself trapped in the hell she had died in. I'm sure she was making herself relive it every day. And I'm sure that part of it had to be the wrath she felt at her killer.
**************
I went back, by myself, the next night, with my friends and crew waiting outside. I walked through the halls quietly. I felt her. She was here, somewhere, hidden in the shadows. It was too dark to see much past my own hands. I took careful steps, hand against the wall. I walked upstairs, downstairs, around the winding layout of the house, till I came to a stop in front of the infamous pantry.
I saw her face peek out from behind the frosted glass, her hands seemingly scrabbling for something. I know she knew I was there. She opened the door, slowly, slowly, and there she stood, still as stone, still as the death that had brought her to this point. I felt her sorrow rising up in the back of my own throat. Who had done this to her? Who had made her suffer this way?
I reached out my hands toward her and said, "Mabel, little Mabel - I'm here to try to help you find your way. I don't know who did this to you and I don't know why - and I don't know why you're hanging onto this world, but Mabel, honey, you need to go over. You need to find the light - it's probably right near you all the time… I think you're just trying not to see it… Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?" I stopped - I felt like I was saying too much.
She stared at me. My fear left me - I knew she was just a lost little girl who felt stuck in the place she was.
"Mabel - please help me help you… Tell me who did this to you, what was his name, what's your mother's name?"
She didn't speak, but pulled the door back closed and started to write on it with her finger - like writing in the snow - in a childish, crooked font.
W A L L A C E
I gathered that was the name of the man who had killed her.
A L I C E
Her mother…?
S H E M A R R E E D A M O N S T E R
My blood froze.
Her father? Her father had done this?
"Mabel - your father?"
M Y D A D D Y N O
It hit me. "Stepfather?"
Y E S
I sank to the floor; I couldn't stop myself. I shook and shivered for a good five minutes. What could possess a man, any man, to do the things this Wallace had done to his stepdaughter?
"W-what do you want me to do, Mabel? He's probably dead - he can't be alive…"
I couldn't take the feeling in the house any longer. I walked outside, where our vans were parked, where my friends were waiting. They gave me questioning looks, but I just shook my head and sat down in the grass.
I gathered myself and stood up and went back into the house.
Mabel had written something else.
H E M A D E M E B E Q W Y E T
What? He made her be quiet? What was that supposed to mean?
N O V O Y S
No… Voice?
What had this man done to her?!
Mabel reached for me and I went into visitational trance again. I saw the same man, that Wallace, bringing his foot down onto my throat. When I woke up, I realized that there wasn't anything I could do except try to save this ghost, to help her finally cross over into the light.
I noticed, though, that however many times I asked Mabel for a last name to this Wallace, or if she could see the light, she always turned her face to the floor. This was what worried me. If she was too terrified to look beyond what she knew, she wasn't going to be helped, period.
I sighed. The only real power I had to help her was to send her feelings of warmth and light and life and love, and so I set to work.
Part of my work is as a pagan - working energy spells is a specialty.
So I laid my spell and sent her as much positive energy as possible. I poured my heart into the spell - I told her, through the working, that she is loved and cared for, that nothing will stop that love, not ever.
Her face opened up - but she couldn't see the light.
I left in consternation. There wasn't anything more I could do except talk myself hoarse and lay spell after spell. I just hope she understands that if another family moves into that home, she can't go around scaring them.
The daughter of the previous owners was terrified. First, Mabel became almost like an imaginary friend - and suddenly turned into this aggressive, angry entity that couldn't be pacified through exorcism or kind words.
I left her with the warm feelings. I hoped they would stay and be felt…
************
I haven't been back to the house since and last I heard, it's still up for sale.
I'm biding my time, working on other paranormal cases, helping others.
I'm praying for Mabel. She needs to cross over.

IN THE NEWS:
"The Thing" Terrorizes U.K. Family
A fellow in Lancashire, U.K. claims that his dead wife is sending him text messages through his cell phone.
According to a report in the Blackpool Gazette, 59-year-old Frank Jones had his home exorcised 12 years ago because a malevolent ghost they called "The Thing: was terrorizing his family. Apparently, the family who lived in the home before them had also witnessed "The Thing," which had ripped off their bed covers while sleeping and smelled most vile. When Frank and his family moved in, he did not believe in the legend of "The Thing." However, after experiencing the ghost's antics, he became a believer.
"I just thought they were imagining it," he said. "But there was a lot of banging and an earthy smell in the house. Then one night I was lying in bed and a mist came across the room. I wanted to shout out at it, but I couldn't get my words out. My face seemed to be paralyzed. It all got too much for me when that happened."
His daughter also suffered at the hands of the nasty spirit. Maureen said "The Thing: ransacked their house.
"You think people are exaggerating until you experience it," she noted. "I was home alone one evening and suddenly heard these footsteps coming up the stairs. They went into my dad's bedroom and then I heard all the cupboards banging open. It sounded like burglars."
Distraught by the goings-on, Frank called in an exorcist to cleanse the property and the family finally found peace. That is – until five years ago.
Dead Wife Sends Text Messages
That's when Frank suffered the unexpected death of his 32-year-old son, Steven due to a brain tumor and this was followed just three months later by the death of his wife, Sadie from a heart attack. However, Sadie did not intend to leave.
"Just after Sadie died, I came home and I felt like I didn't want to go in the house. I got a missed call on my mobile, but it didn't ring. The call was from my own home number but there was nobody in the house. Then when I went inside, there was a smell like cigarettes which Sadie used to smoke and the smell of her perfume."
Frank added that he still receives text messages that he believes are from Sadie. ?
"She always had a mobile with her. We buried her with her phone. There have been messages with words Sadie would say but there's no number."

The phenomenon of spaceships and aliens is far from a new one. In fact, stories of aliens visiting the Earth go back 4,000 years in China. Stories abound in not only science fiction, but also newspapers, magazines and ancient Chinese texts.
In Researching Lost Records by Wang Jia during the
During the Three Kingdoms Period [2] (222 AD - 280 AD), there are records of a child possessing a "strange appearance" that was just 1.3 meters tall, had "shining eyes" and wore a blue outfit. This male was found playing with local children and when they asked him questions he replied, "I am not from the earth, but from the Mars. I saw that you are playing so happily so I came down to see you."
This child added, "The state of having three kingdoms standing will not last long. In the future, the world will belong to the Sima family."
Within 17 years, the kingdoms were replaced by the Sima family just as predicted.
When the children's parents intervened, the child said goodbye, "shrank his body and jumped into the air."
China Economic Net reports that Gan Bao wrote a book about contact with Martians entitled In Search of the Supernatural during the East Jin Dynasty (317 AD - 420 AD). Also during this time, Wang Jia wrote in Researching Lost Records that 4,000 years ago, a huge UFO with many lights was spotted floating above the West Sea. Apparently, observers could see the UFO inhabitants with white feathers covering their bodies and wearing hats. The writings also note that the aliens could fly.
"The Chronicle of Disasters and Unusual Phenomena, Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" notes an incident similar to modern-day reports of alien abduction. During the third year of Emperor Yongzheng's Qing Dynasty, a group of villagers went into the mountains to cut bamboo in Liaojiatang of Wudu in Lingchuan. They saw one villager suddenly disappear and he reappeared in his home 140 days later. The villagers noted that when he returned, he was completely incoherent.
UN Meetings focuses on Alien Contact
As reported last month, a series of meetings over three days was held from Feb. 12 to 14, 2008 at the United Nations New York headquarters. According to insider and researcher Michael Salla, the United Nations is concerned about public reaction to an official announcement that "alien contact has or will soon occur." Michael also noted that a policy to "take the UFO situation more seriously and the possible re-establishment of a UFO study group" were also discussed. Project Blue Book officially closed in 1969.
French aviation expert Gilles Lorant also confirmed the secret meeting. Gilles is an attaché to the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique – a government funded organization under the Ministry of Research. He is also affiliated with the Institute of Advanced Studies for National Defence.
In a report on the meeting released by a French UFO group, Gilles noted that the meetings were held to discuss a report by the U.S. Air Force and a branch of the National Guard on the impact of UFO sightings on the public. According to Gilles, three U.S. senators asked for further discussions and they were held immediately – Feb. 13 and 14. He also noted that public reaction to UFOs could have "a dramatic economic impact."
Ever since the O'Hare Airport, (http://ufos.about.com/od/bestufocasefiles/p/ohareairport.htm sightings last October and the more recent Stephenville, Texas sightings (http://ufos.about.com/od/currentuforeports/a/stephenville.htm, it seems the matter is being taken much more seriously.
New EVP features Father saying, "I Love You"A new EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) recording has been posted by Cynthia Wantanabe, who says it is the voice of her father saying, "I love you."
"Recently I started watching Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State," says Cynthia. "I became intrigued with the EVPs they made, so I decided to try one of my own. My father passed away last April 4, 2007 and both my sister and I still are depressed or unsettled with it. So I tried to contact him. One thing that bothered me the most after his passing -- and something I would constantly say to my husband or cousin -- is that I would never get to feel him hug me again or hear him say, 'I love you.' That bothered me a lot. In this recording, you hear me say, '...and I miss you.' Then you hear my little son say, 'Ok' ... then my father. He's saying, 'Love you.' I know it's him because I know his voice."

JOKE OF THE MONTH
Two blind pilots both are wearing dark glasses. One is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the plane aisle
with a cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a practical joke.
None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the runway.
As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.
At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax, laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, certain that the plane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,
'Ya know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die.'

Welcome to Glimpses of the Paranormal Newsletter!
Hello Everyone!
Don't you just love spring! I truly enjoy watching everything turn green again and seeing the flowers begin to sprout in the garden. I remember running into a woman while waiting for a bus last spring and I expressed my delight with the approaching warmer season. I was startled when all she could do was grumble and complain about spring because of all of the yard work she would have to do. Even though my fibro might act up more at this time of year, I welcome this season as a time when every living thing is renewed with life and that is surely a most positive thing. I hope this season brings you renewal in all areas of your life too.
For me, spring has turned into a very busy time. With help from one of my daughters, I now have Blood Vengeance: (Cold Case #4-183) Not of this World completed and sent off to a couple of publishers. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

This month's story comes from 20-year-old Aesciane Lilith Rose of Omaha, Nebraska. Ally tells us about the spirit of a woman she calls Mabel, whom she encountered during a paranormal research investigation. Here is what happened in her own words:
Medium Attempts to help Mabel Cross Over
I walked into the house with the feeling I normally get when I ghost-hunt with my paranormal research group - partial excitement for the research in the name of science, partial apprehension at what we would find. It was always an interesting thing - because sometimes what had happened to the spirits in question was extremely, extremely stressful and chaotic. As a medium, I feel what the spirits feel. They sometimes give me visitations when they get comfortable with my presence - which means me, seeing and experiencing every bit and detail of the events leading up to their death, and their death in itself.
The only thing I really saw in the house was walls, columns, doors and windows. The family who had lived there before had decided that the paranormal occurrences in their home were too much, especially how they were impacting the daughters, and had packed up and moved without even looking into getting a new home first.
I wandered through the house until I found the pantry. It was bare and empty, and no matter how hard I searched, I could not find a trick door or extra space for a person to hide - so that refuted any possible debunking that cynics had attempted to make of the videos that the former residents had filmed of this ghost.
What I noticed while walking through the rest of the house was that there were trauma spots everywhere - basically what sensitives call "cold spots -" where the ghost had experienced seriously horrid moments that I shuddered to think of. What this little girl had probably gone through made me shake with terror and rage. I was receiving a young girl in my mind - a nine-year-old, at least - and whatever had happened to her had to have been at the hands of someone bigger and more powerful than she.
My group knew that I would go down in visitational trance any moment. Each time we went into a haunted home, the group appointed a sitter for me, so that if I went down while walking up or down a set of stairs, I would be caught and protected. It didn't matter what I was doing - Any second, any place, I could go down. And at this particular place, I went down in the kitchen.
The first thing I saw was rage and blood. I opened my eyes in the vision and saw a man standing over me. I got my head together - I knew that this had to be what the entity was showing me. Then I saw this man, gray-haired and extremely angry, bring his boot down in my face. The vision blacked - and then I came to and the gray-haired man was sharpening a knife and swearing. He took the newly sharpened knife and cut me in long, deep, sharp strokes the whole way down my left arm, then my right, then down my chest, across my throat, and legs. He did as slowly as he possibly could - and it was excruciating. I couldn't really understand why he was doing this…
Finally he grabbed me by the hair and dragged me to the pantry. He opened the door, smashed my head into the side of the wall, and threw me inside the pantry. He then shut the door and barred it with a heavy piece of furniture.
I blacked out.
It was then that I came back to myself - a full hour after I had gone down. I lay on the floor for about ten minutes, collecting myself. Once I was fully to myself, I quickly related what I had seen to my friends who were holding the tape recorder and the video camera. Then I picked myself up, turned to the pantry and called Mabel's name. She had not revealed her real name to me - if Mabel were her true name, she would have responded to the exorcism the previous owners had performed, the blessings, the mediums. So I called, "Mabel…"
The door came open, as it had done so many times before - except this time she was responding to me. She stood in the empty frame of the door, watching me. She still had that dark, tortured look. I didn't know what to say to her. How do you tell a nine-year-old the truth about her condition, explain that you cannot explain why she was treated that way? I don't remember how long I hesitated. This wasn't fear - this was anxiety, pity and sorrow. So many other cases I had worked on, I remember exactly that I did not have a single problem talking to the entity after the visitation.
But here, in front of Mabel, who had suffered unspeakable anguish, I faltered.
"Mabel," I said. My friends took video, wrote notes. "Mabel - is that your name, honey?" She nodded. I sighed. The daughter of the family who had previously lived in this home must have been sensitive to some degree. Otherwise, she would not have seen Mabel.
"Mabel, do you understand that you are not alive anymore? Do you understand that this is not your era, your year or your home anymore? Don't you wonder where your mother is?"
Mabel turned her face down to the floor.
"Mabel, you need to move on, sweetie."
No answer.
"Mabel."
No answer.
I sighed. Mabel was going to take some work - she was certainly not up to actually speaking to me. I turned to my friends and said, "She's not wanting to talk… Let's leave her alone…"
We left the house in disappointment. We'd wanted to help her, really - but her choice had been made. An entity cannot be forced to cross over.
I believe that the truth about Mabel is that she had been haunting so long and so much that she had never been told in all sincerity that heaven is better than keeping herself trapped in the hell she had died in. I'm sure she was making herself relive it every day. And I'm sure that part of it had to be the wrath she felt at her killer.
**************
I went back, by myself, the next night, with my friends and crew waiting outside. I walked through the halls quietly. I felt her. She was here, somewhere, hidden in the shadows. It was too dark to see much past my own hands. I took careful steps, hand against the wall. I walked upstairs, downstairs, around the winding layout of the house, till I came to a stop in front of the infamous pantry.
I saw her face peek out from behind the frosted glass, her hands seemingly scrabbling for something. I know she knew I was there. She opened the door, slowly, slowly, and there she stood, still as stone, still as the death that had brought her to this point. I felt her sorrow rising up in the back of my own throat. Who had done this to her? Who had made her suffer this way?
I reached out my hands toward her and said, "Mabel, little Mabel - I'm here to try to help you find your way. I don't know who did this to you and I don't know why - and I don't know why you're hanging onto this world, but Mabel, honey, you need to go over. You need to find the light - it's probably right near you all the time… I think you're just trying not to see it… Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?" I stopped - I felt like I was saying too much.
She stared at me. My fear left me - I knew she was just a lost little girl who felt stuck in the place she was.
"Mabel - please help me help you… Tell me who did this to you, what was his name, what's your mother's name?"
She didn't speak, but pulled the door back closed and started to write on it with her finger - like writing in the snow - in a childish, crooked font.
W A L L A C E
I gathered that was the name of the man who had killed her.
A L I C E
Her mother…?
S H E M A R R E E D A M O N S T E R
My blood froze.
Her father? Her father had done this?
"Mabel - your father?"
M Y D A D D Y N O
It hit me. "Stepfather?"
Y E S
I sank to the floor; I couldn't stop myself. I shook and shivered for a good five minutes. What could possess a man, any man, to do the things this Wallace had done to his stepdaughter?
"W-what do you want me to do, Mabel? He's probably dead - he can't be alive…"
I couldn't take the feeling in the house any longer. I walked outside, where our vans were parked, where my friends were waiting. They gave me questioning looks, but I just shook my head and sat down in the grass.
I gathered myself and stood up and went back into the house.
Mabel had written something else.
H E M A D E M E B E Q W Y E T
What? He made her be quiet? What was that supposed to mean?
N O V O Y S
No… Voice?
What had this man done to her?!
Mabel reached for me and I went into visitational trance again. I saw the same man, that Wallace, bringing his foot down onto my throat. When I woke up, I realized that there wasn't anything I could do except try to save this ghost, to help her finally cross over into the light.
I noticed, though, that however many times I asked Mabel for a last name to this Wallace, or if she could see the light, she always turned her face to the floor. This was what worried me. If she was too terrified to look beyond what she knew, she wasn't going to be helped, period.
I sighed. The only real power I had to help her was to send her feelings of warmth and light and life and love, and so I set to work.
Part of my work is as a pagan - working energy spells is a specialty.
So I laid my spell and sent her as much positive energy as possible. I poured my heart into the spell - I told her, through the working, that she is loved and cared for, that nothing will stop that love, not ever.
Her face opened up - but she couldn't see the light.
I left in consternation. There wasn't anything more I could do except talk myself hoarse and lay spell after spell. I just hope she understands that if another family moves into that home, she can't go around scaring them.
The daughter of the previous owners was terrified. First, Mabel became almost like an imaginary friend - and suddenly turned into this aggressive, angry entity that couldn't be pacified through exorcism or kind words.
I left her with the warm feelings. I hoped they would stay and be felt…
************
I haven't been back to the house since and last I heard, it's still up for sale.
I'm biding my time, working on other paranormal cases, helping others.
I'm praying for Mabel. She needs to cross over.

IN THE NEWS:
"The Thing" Terrorizes U.K. Family
A fellow in Lancashire, U.K. claims that his dead wife is sending him text messages through his cell phone.
According to a report in the Blackpool Gazette, 59-year-old Frank Jones had his home exorcised 12 years ago because a malevolent ghost they called "The Thing: was terrorizing his family. Apparently, the family who lived in the home before them had also witnessed "The Thing," which had ripped off their bed covers while sleeping and smelled most vile. When Frank and his family moved in, he did not believe in the legend of "The Thing." However, after experiencing the ghost's antics, he became a believer.
"I just thought they were imagining it," he said. "But there was a lot of banging and an earthy smell in the house. Then one night I was lying in bed and a mist came across the room. I wanted to shout out at it, but I couldn't get my words out. My face seemed to be paralyzed. It all got too much for me when that happened."
His daughter also suffered at the hands of the nasty spirit. Maureen said "The Thing: ransacked their house.
"You think people are exaggerating until you experience it," she noted. "I was home alone one evening and suddenly heard these footsteps coming up the stairs. They went into my dad's bedroom and then I heard all the cupboards banging open. It sounded like burglars."
Distraught by the goings-on, Frank called in an exorcist to cleanse the property and the family finally found peace. That is – until five years ago.
Dead Wife Sends Text Messages
That's when Frank suffered the unexpected death of his 32-year-old son, Steven due to a brain tumor and this was followed just three months later by the death of his wife, Sadie from a heart attack. However, Sadie did not intend to leave.
"Just after Sadie died, I came home and I felt like I didn't want to go in the house. I got a missed call on my mobile, but it didn't ring. The call was from my own home number but there was nobody in the house. Then when I went inside, there was a smell like cigarettes which Sadie used to smoke and the smell of her perfume."
Frank added that he still receives text messages that he believes are from Sadie. ?
"She always had a mobile with her. We buried her with her phone. There have been messages with words Sadie would say but there's no number."

The phenomenon of spaceships and aliens is far from a new one. In fact, stories of aliens visiting the Earth go back 4,000 years in China. Stories abound in not only science fiction, but also newspapers, magazines and ancient Chinese texts.
In Researching Lost Records by Wang Jia during the
During the Three Kingdoms Period [2] (222 AD - 280 AD), there are records of a child possessing a "strange appearance" that was just 1.3 meters tall, had "shining eyes" and wore a blue outfit. This male was found playing with local children and when they asked him questions he replied, "I am not from the earth, but from the Mars. I saw that you are playing so happily so I came down to see you."
This child added, "The state of having three kingdoms standing will not last long. In the future, the world will belong to the Sima family."
Within 17 years, the kingdoms were replaced by the Sima family just as predicted.
When the children's parents intervened, the child said goodbye, "shrank his body and jumped into the air."
China Economic Net reports that Gan Bao wrote a book about contact with Martians entitled In Search of the Supernatural during the East Jin Dynasty (317 AD - 420 AD). Also during this time, Wang Jia wrote in Researching Lost Records that 4,000 years ago, a huge UFO with many lights was spotted floating above the West Sea. Apparently, observers could see the UFO inhabitants with white feathers covering their bodies and wearing hats. The writings also note that the aliens could fly.
"The Chronicle of Disasters and Unusual Phenomena, Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" notes an incident similar to modern-day reports of alien abduction. During the third year of Emperor Yongzheng's Qing Dynasty, a group of villagers went into the mountains to cut bamboo in Liaojiatang of Wudu in Lingchuan. They saw one villager suddenly disappear and he reappeared in his home 140 days later. The villagers noted that when he returned, he was completely incoherent.
UN Meetings focuses on Alien Contact
As reported last month, a series of meetings over three days was held from Feb. 12 to 14, 2008 at the United Nations New York headquarters. According to insider and researcher Michael Salla, the United Nations is concerned about public reaction to an official announcement that "alien contact has or will soon occur." Michael also noted that a policy to "take the UFO situation more seriously and the possible re-establishment of a UFO study group" were also discussed. Project Blue Book officially closed in 1969.
French aviation expert Gilles Lorant also confirmed the secret meeting. Gilles is an attaché to the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique – a government funded organization under the Ministry of Research. He is also affiliated with the Institute of Advanced Studies for National Defence.
In a report on the meeting released by a French UFO group, Gilles noted that the meetings were held to discuss a report by the U.S. Air Force and a branch of the National Guard on the impact of UFO sightings on the public. According to Gilles, three U.S. senators asked for further discussions and they were held immediately – Feb. 13 and 14. He also noted that public reaction to UFOs could have "a dramatic economic impact."
Ever since the O'Hare Airport, (http://ufos.about.com/od/bestufocasefiles/p/ohareairport.htm sightings last October and the more recent Stephenville, Texas sightings (http://ufos.about.com/od/currentuforeports/a/stephenville.htm, it seems the matter is being taken much more seriously.
New EVP features Father saying, "I Love You"
A new EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) recording has been posted by Cynthia Wantanabe, who says it is the voice of her father saying, "I love you."
"Recently I started watching Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State," says Cynthia. "I became intrigued with the EVPs they made, so I decided to try one of my own. My father passed away last April 4, 2007 and both my sister and I still are depressed or unsettled with it. So I tried to contact him. One thing that bothered me the most after his passing -- and something I would constantly say to my husband or cousin -- is that I would never get to feel him hug me again or hear him say, 'I love you.' That bothered me a lot. In this recording, you hear me say, '...and I miss you.' Then you hear my little son say, 'Ok' ... then my father. He's saying, 'Love you.' I know it's him because I know his voice."

JOKE OF THE MONTH
Two blind pilots both are wearing dark glasses. One is using a guide dog, and the other is tapping his way along the plane aisle
with a cane.
Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men enter the cockpit, the door closes, and the engines start up. The passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some sign that this is just a practical joke.
None is forthcoming.
The plane moves faster and faster down the runway, and the people sitting in the window seats realize they're headed straight for the water at the edge of the runway.
As it begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water, panicked screams fill the cabin.
At that moment, the plane lifts smoothly into the air. The passengers relax, laugh a little sheepishly, and soon all retreat into their magazines, certain that the plane is in good hands.
In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots turns to the other and says,
'Ya know, Bob, one of these days, they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die.'

Life today is such a rush that we often forget to stop and enjoy the important things in life. Take the time to visit with your loved ones, family and friends. These are the people in your life that actually make life worth living. No job can ever bring you so much joy. Also, stop and smell those wonderful spring flowers!
Until next time, remember:

Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present."
