Elsie and I are very friendly with the beck Fairies. It is funny I never used to see them in Africa. It must be too hot for them there.Continue Reading

While there exist a number of different instances of Spirit Photography tricking the masses into believing the paranormal (future posts incoming, wink wink), today weā€™re going to focus our attention on the emergence, starting with the father of Spirit Photos, William H. Mumler.Continue Reading

In last weekā€™s photo installment we talked about The Myths Surrounding Post Mortem Photography. Today, weā€™re going to continue in this same time frame of the Victorian era and daguerreotype photography, but instead of the dead, weā€™re going to focus on the most energetic and lively of people: children. AsContinue Reading

HorrorAddicts.net is doing something I wished I’d thought up: a Vile Vacations series. They’re even accepting guest posts. The multi-talented Emerian Rich, a Horror Hostess at HorrorAddicts.net, was the one who gave me a heads up about submitting a Vile Vacations guest post. (If her name rings a bell andContinue Reading

This post is by Steven Rumbelow. I had to consider writing this article very carefully. In the final analysis I think it is valuable for parents of deceased children to have confirmation of the existence of life beyond death. This form of correspondence is considered good scientific proof and notContinue Reading

This post is by Steven Rumbelow. When we were shooting Beyond in Saskatchewan a few people on our crew recommended that we listen to a local channeler, Bub Hill, an unassuming real estate agent living in Moose Jaw.

This post is by Steven Rumbelow. Before Priests, before medical doctors, before psychologists, before faith healers, before dancers, before singers, before actors, before magicians, before historians, before differences… there were Shamans. In those days to be a shaman was to be all of the above. They were the first actorsContinue Reading

This post is by Steven Rumbelow. It’s a huge subject. As usual, the skeptics paint everything with the same brush. Fact is that it’s really easy to distinguish between orbs, lens anomalies, dust, reflected light and the real thing.

Last week I saw a story on Today about how a team of researchers filmed a giant squid in its natural habitat for the first time ever. In fact, you may have caught the show Monster Squid: The Giant Is RealĀ on Discovery Channel? It aired on January 27. The footageContinue Reading
