From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
I wish I could say I have great psychic powers... but I don't. Yet it's pretty clear from the evidence at hand and the many recent university-sponsored scientific experiments that psychic phenomena is a reality. Exactly how it works, no one knows. See this week's feature for indications of your own psychic prowess, and be sure to tell us of your experiences. Great media this week, too: an amazing ghost photo from Indiana, and an intriguing video of possible poltergeist activity in Utah. Plus, an answer to an important reader question... and more.

6 Signs That You Might Be Psychic
Those who have made a lifetime of the study of psychic phenomena suspect that most, if not all of us are psychic to one degree or another. I'm sure most of us can point to events in our lives that indicate instances of telepathy or precognition. Perhaps it's only happened once or a few times. Perhaps, however, it happens to you quite frequently. Can you then be considered truly, strongly psychic? Here are six signs to look for.

Is the paranormal real?
"I have before now taken a look at the paranormal and I have tried to persuade myself into believing it was fake," writes Amanda. "But now I have gotten into it again and I am very curious. I have some questions that just generally say: Does it exist and how do I find out for myself? I have some doubt from the way I was raised. Any advice?" Read my answer.

Photo: The Pink Lady of Greencastle
A new addition to our "Best Ghost Pictures" gallery. Following up on reports of ghostly activity at the abandoned O'Hare mansion in Greencastle, Indiana, Guy Winters and friend Terry investigated the old house. Among the paranormal activity experienced there, Guy snapped this photo of one of the upstairs windows, and it appears to show the vaporous pink image of what could be a woman's spirit. The photo combined with the other haunting activity elevate this to one of the best ghost pictures ever taken.

Video: Ogden Poltergeist
In this security camera video from an undisclosed location in Ogden, Utah, a plate seems to fly off a shelf and land several feet away. Two men, identified as security guards, soon show up to investigate. But is this a staged hoax, which could have been accomplished with fishing line? Or are we seeing genuine poltergeist activity? Read more and watch the video.

SUICIDE & SPIRITS
THE TRUE STORY OF THE RISE AND FALL OF THE LEMP EMPIRE
BY TROY TAYLOR (2011)
HISTORY, HAUNTINGS, LEGENDS AND LORE OF ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST HAUNTED FAMILIES!
 
Journey back in time to the opulent days of St. Louis in the Gilded Age and discover the true story of the Lemp family and its rise to power, wealth and extravagance. It’s a story that has become legend over the years but one that few people truly know. Despite the fact that the Lemps, and their legendary mansion, have inspired books, ghost stories and television shows, the true story of their tragic lives has become a confusing and convoluted mess of myths, misconceptions, legends and outright lies, making it nearly impossible to separate fact from fiction – until now.
For the first time, the story of the rise and fall of the Lemp empire can truly be told. This is the first book that has been written with cooperation from Lemp family descendants and features private stories and details, as well as rare photographs, that have never been told or seen before. The history of the Lemp family is a true American tragedy, one of triumph over opposition, hard work, perseverance, genius and madness, eccentricity and passion, horror, death, suicide and ghosts.
 
It’s a story that is played out against the backdrop of America’s changing landscape of the late 1800s and early 1900s and is enhanced by the history of the beer industry in St. Louis, the German immigrant experience in America and takes a riveting look at the lives and deaths of those for whom money truly was no object. This is a tale that is purely American – of a haunted family and a haunted house – told as only Troy Taylor can tell it! $16.00

"EYES OF THE MOTHMAN" DVD CONTEST WINNER!
Thanks to all of those who participated in the contest last issue to win a FREE copy of the EYES OF THE MOTHMAN DVD from Virgil Films. We got a ton of correct answers and a bunch from people who obviously didn't read the article that we directed you to on the website. Yes, John Keel wrote the original book about the Mothman (The Mothman Prophecies), but he was not the reporter from Athens, Ohio who was harassed by the Men in Black. That was Mary Hyre, which was the answer we were looking for -- and which was in the article. For those who answered "John Klein"... well, I'm glad you watched the Richard Gere movie but maybe you should crack a book once in a while, haha! 
THE WINNERS OF THE CONTEST ARE (DRAWN RANDOMLY FROM THE CORRECT ENTRIES):

* Lisa Niemeyer
* Stacey Adrain

Please contact us with your mailing address so we can send our your free DVD's next week! 
------------------------------------------------------------

The Paranormal Beliefs Survey

Paranormal Beliefs

I have always been fascinated by anything considered paranormal,
supernatural or mysterious. I grew up reading books about ghosts, UFOs
and ancient mysteries.

We have all had different experiences in this life that brought us to
where we are today. Myself, I have encountered strange 'things' and
phenomenon which have led me to say, "I have no choice in the matter
of believing in ghosts for I have encountered them." I cannot tell you
what a ghost is or for sure where they come from but I do know that
they are real. But that is me and that is what I know. I also know
there will be a lot of differences in opinion and what each of us may
"know" from out own encounters - or lack thereof.

Here we will begin to discover what people think and believe about the
paranormal world. All voting is anonymous so feel free to add your own
beliefs and opinions to this project.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
Good ghost video is hard to come by... I mean REALLY hard to come by. There are a lot of hoaxes out there, especially on YouTube (some of them kind of clever), so you have to be careful. See this week's feature for videos I find interesting. Also this week we have a photo of the Lake Windermere Monster, which surfaced recently, a reader question about a ghost pet, and of course the week's paranormal news.

Best Ghost Videos Ever Taken
They might be real, anyway. Although we can never know for sure, these videos are some of the best examples of that rarest of all haunting evidence: ghosts caught on tape, from Gettysburg to Disneyland. And if you have ghost video, send it to me!

Photo: Lake Windermere Monster
While kayaking on Lake Windermere in England on February 11, 2011, Tom Pickles and a friend were startled by a creature swimming by. At first Pickles thought it was a dog but then realized how big is was. He estimated the humped creature to be at least the size of three car lengths. The friends saw the unknown animal for about 20 seconds, and Pickles managed to capture this photo with his cell phone. This encounter is the eighth recorded sighting of the creature, which has been dubbed Bownessie, in Lake Windermere.

Q&A: Was it my dog's ghost?
"On December 14, 2010, I had to put Tucker, my beloved golden retriever, to sleep," writes Peter F. "He was a wonderful creature, and I miss him profoundly. I was not ready to throw out his personal items, so I put his large stainless-steel bowl in the back of the pantry behind the sack of dog food. Six weeks after his death, I fixed my dinner and ate it in the living room. I live alone, and there was no one else with me. An hour later, I returned to the kitchen. There in the middle of the kitchen floor was Tucker's bowl! Did Tucker do this himself? Or was it a spirit telling me that he was alright?" Read my answer.
