ALTON HAUNTINGS -- REGISTER NOW FOR FALL 2011!
According to legend, Mark Twain once called Alton a "dismal little river town", largely thanks to the dark history that the city had already endured prior to its heyday as a thriving Mississippi River port. From its earliest days, Alton has seen more than its share of death, disease, disaster, violence and murder. Now come see how the events of the past have created the hauntings of today in what has come to be known as "one of the most haunted small towns in America!" The Alton Hauntings Tour is an entertaining and spine-tingling "frightseeing tour" that takes an unnerving look at the history and haunts of the city. Called the "most authentic" tour in the region, this is the only tour that was personally created by author Troy Taylor and is based on his best-selling book, Haunted Alton!
Join us for our award-winning ghost tours of Alton and discover the TRUE stories of this haunted little town. We're not just an ordinary ghost tour -- no phony psychics or made-up stories -- this is the real thing!
 
Tickets for the Alton Hauntings Tours go on sale at 11:59 PM on Monday, September 5 for the general public but YOU can get yours NOW as a newsletter subscriber!

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
I have often lamented that I have never seen a ghost. Full-body apparitions are really hard to come by. I don't think I'd be afraid if I did (he said in the comfort of his well-lit and warm home office). But this week's feature offers good advice on what you should do if you ever encounter a spirit. Also see a great new addition to our Best Ghost Pictures gallery, the week's news, and much more!

8 Things To Do If You See a Ghost
What would you do if you saw a real ghost -- if you came face-to-face with a full-body apparition? Would you freak out and run away screaming? That's a normal reaction, but there's actually little need to be afraid. Here's what you should do if you see a ghost.

The Ghost of the White Lady
We have a new addition to our gallery of the Best Ghost Photos Ever Taken: The White Lady of Worstead Church. Peter and Diane Berthelot were visiting the church in 1975 when Mr. Berthelot snapped this photo. It wasn't until a few months later that they saw the glowing white figure in the picture, sitting behind Mrs. Berthelot. Go look!

Is there an afterlife?
"As a paranormal phenomena guide, I would be interested to know your views on an afterlife," writes Karl. "Already that tells you that I am a skeptic, but I am an open-minded skeptic. Unfortunately, most people are not able to debate this issue, and additional input always helps." Read the response from the Paranormal Answer Man.

course the comments section is going as people view it.

Reptilian on Live TV?

Is it possible that a reptilian was caught on live television?
Recently I received a message along with a very strange video clip. I
don't know what is going on with this "person's" eyes but I am
very interested to see your comments and thoughts.

He appears to have very distinct slit pupils like a cat or a lizard.
If ive already sent you this email im sorry but im suffering from
sleep deprivation (with the twins).

Some comments so far:

"Ohhh man, the moment I saw this man talking I immediately got
butterflies in my stomach and a horrible sense of fear! I think you
may have captured something unexplainable!!" Jilly

"I have no doubt that these are his real eyes and we are possibly
witnessing a reptilian morph here!" Col

The Ouija Board a History

The best selling board game in history, many people believe that the
Ouija Board is an ancient tool used to contact the spirit world. Some
even claim that the board dates back to 540 BC.

However, while similar devices have been used since ancient times, the
Ouija Board was actually patented on February 10, 1891. But, to this
day, who actually invented the Ouija Board is still a subject of
debate.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
There have been quite a few alleged Sasquatch videos popping up lately. The one featured below isn't new (it was posted to YouTube in 2006), but it was new to me, and I find it quite interesting. Of course it could be a hoax, but I think it looks like a non-human primate. We also found a psychic hit about the recent earthquake, and we've added more content to our most haunted gallery.

Great Sasquatch video!
Video footage released in 2006 of what may very well be a Sasquatch is getting renewed attention. Although we do not yet know where or exactly when this footage was recorded, it could be the most significant Sasquatch footage since the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film. Videotaped by Harley Hoffman, the on-screen time of the creature is not very long and we cannot see its face, but the look and walk of the dark-haired creature is rather convincing. Go take a look!

Did a psychic predict Eastern earthquake?
Back in December we posted lists of predictions for 2011 from prominent psychics from around the world. One psychic, Sidney Friedman, predicted "Earthquake activity in the Midwest and eastern part of the United States." There hasn't been one in the Midwest (as far as I know), but a 5.9 quake shook the entire northeast on August 23.

World's Most Haunted Places - new additions
We continue to expand our gallery of The World's Most Haunted Places with the addition of: The Moss Beach Distillery in Moss Beach, California, and The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
A few years ago I visited John Zaffis and was given a tour of his amazing Museum of the Paranormal, which consists of an astonishing array of items -- from dolls and desks to vases and voodoo masks, and everything in-between, that are thought to be haunted. Many of our readers have also reported haunted objects in their homes, and you can read about some of them in this week's feature. We also have the Paranormal News and a look at some ghosts of Hollywood legends, including Lucille Ball, who would have been 100 this month.

Haunted Possessions
You have heard of haunted houses and even possessed people, but can everyday, inanimate objects - furniture, stuffed animals, paintings, clocks, toys - also be haunted? If spirits can attach themselves to houses, hospitals and other institutions, and battlefields, we cannot rule out the idea that they can also attach themselves to objects. Here are some true stories of possessed possessions.

Lucy's ghost... and other Hollywood spirits
August 6 would have been Lucille Ball's 100th birthday. For decades Lucy, both with and without her husband Desi Arnez, entertained us on I Love Lucy and several other sitcoms that featured her zany antics. Although Lucy died in 1989, some say her ghost still haunts her old Beverly Hills home as well as the buildings that housed the DesiLu Studios, founded by Desi and her. Read more in the Ghosts of Hollywood Legends.

"This took place on 14 August in Lytham, St. Anne's U.K. at 10:41 p.m.," reports Lisa S. "I was in my room sitting on my bed when my phone started ringing. I answered it. I could hear static and a faint voice in garbled English. Then I could hear a clearer voice saying, 'Hello? Hello?" Read the rest of Lisa's story and more Phantom Phone Calls.
