From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
Ball lighting isn't generally considered to be a paranormal phenomenon, but it does fall solidly into the category of "Unexplained". And the stories of encounters with this mystery are as bizarre and fascinating as any ghost or poltergeist experience. See this week's feature. There are also some very interesting new photos of "impossible fossils" as well as a possible new pic of the Loch Ness Monster.

The Mystery of Ball Lightning
Ball lightning is so mysterious that for a long time many scientists doubted its reality. Today most physicists accept that it is a genuine phenomenon, but are still at a loss to explain how it forms, how it maintains its shape, how it moves, and how it seems to "behave" -- sometimes as if it is under intelligent control. Here are some bizarre true stories.

Impossibly old footprints
Here are a couple of fossils to shake up the current scientific view of anthropology, paleontology and possibly geology as well. These imprints might easily be mistaken for footprints you'd find today on a beach or a muddy sidewalk, but they are, in fact, fossils -- very old fossils. The shoe print was found in granite estimated to be 15 million years old, and the bare footprint was discovered in strata estimated to be 290 million years old! Impossible, right? But there they are. Read more about them in the Ancient Anomalies gallery.

New Loch Ness Monster photo
A new possible photo of the Loch Ness Monster has surfaced, as reported by the U.K.'s Mail Online. Jon Rowe, a fish farmer from Lewiston in Drumnadrochit, Scotland, was actually taking a picture of a rainbow that had formed over the lake, but then noticed the two large humps projecting out of the water, which quickly disappeared beneath the waves. Rowe is convinced that he has photographed Nessie. Go look.
