 | For a long time I've known that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had an interest in Spiritualism and paranormal matters, but I did not know that he had several possible ghost encounters himself -- until I found one of his books in an antique shop. See this week's feature. We also have a new addition to our Ghosts at Sea gallery, an update to the Baltic Sea underwater object mystery, and the week's news. | |
Arthur Conan Doyle: Ghost Hunter
No, this is not some supernatural fantasy like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The author of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries really was a paranormal investigator and ghost hunter, who attended séances, befriended the world's top psychic mediums, and sought explanations for haunted houses and poltergeist activity. Doyle even had a few ghostly encounters himself. Read all about them.
| The Mystery of the Ourang Medan
In 1947, after sending out an S.O.S., the entire crew of the Ourang Medan freighter was found dead aboard the ship. There was no sign of trouble, and each crew member died with his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, as if he had witnessed some unspeakable horror before dying, yet there were no signs of injury. What killed the crew of the Ourang Medan? Read all about it in this latest addition to the Ghosts at Sea Gallery.

| Underwater Mystery - update
As with most interesting mysteries, an investigation only brings up more questions than answers. Such is the case with the intriguing disc-shaped object found on the floor of the Baltic Sea in June, 2011 by the Ocean X Team, a group of Swedish treasure hunters. The team returned to the site of the find in May, 2012, and what they were able to photograph only puzzled them further.
