From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
In general, I think people are too afraid of the paranormal. It's understandable: People are afraid of the unknown -- especially when we're talking about ghosts and such. But there really isn't much to be afraid of. See this week's feature. And please do not forget about the paranormal photo hoax contest. You still have a couple of weeks to get your photos in... just don't forget!

Not All Shadow People Are Scary
The vast majority of shadow people sightings are described as scary, creepy, or even evil. Often, there is no real reason to attribute these negative aspects to the entities; it's usually just a feeling. This is only natural since the sighting of something dark and unknown instinctively arouses fear in the human mind: we fear what we do not understand. Yet, just as there are reports of good, benign, and evil ghosts, we can also assume that there is a range of "personality" in shadow people. Although they represent a small number, some people say they have gotten good vibes from them or even positive experiences with shadow people. Read about some of these encounters.

Experiment: How to Practice Automatic Writing
Here's something I would like to invite you all to try and then post your results, if any. Automatic writing is an old form of divination in which messages seem to come out of nowhere through your hand and onto paper. Some who have attempted this form of mediumship have written lengthy messages, songs -- even complete novels. It might not be easy, and you might not get results right away, but I think we'd all be interested to see how we can do with this experiment.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
It's great when readers and ghost hunting groups send in their videos for us to evaluate. Check out the one below and then tell us what you think of it: Fact or Faked? And see the week's news, including an item about a new expedition to find living dinosaurs. Then read the fascinating reader report about a most bothersome crow.

Ghost in the Hallway video
Mike and Cindy Jacobus were testing their new static cam when they caught a ghostly figure step into the hallway and disappear into the kitchen. Although it is quite faint, you can definitely see the figure move in the video as they describe. So the question is: Was this video faked... or were Mike and Cindy lucky enough to videotape a ghost while testing their camera? Go watch the video.

Reader Report: Crow: Harbinger of Death
"I was at a local gas station," says Ray, "when I saw this huge crow sitting on top of the car. I walked up to the driver's door and the crow continued to sit there looking at me. I waved my arms a few times and said, 'Shoo!' but it just continued to look at me. I wasn't sure what to do when it finally slowly flew away. I was a little uneasy, but finally put it out of my mind...." What did it mean? Read the rest of Ray's report.

The Mysterious Old Woman
Who is the strange old woman who keeps appearing to Raven H., both in her dreams and in her waking life? Raven doesn't know her, doesn't know her name or where's she's from, has never really met her in any personal way. Yet this woman seems to know Raven intimately, giving her messages and warnings about future events. Who is this mysterious woman and how is any of it possible? Read this incredible true story.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
The journals of the paranormal contain many entries of strange encounters, mysterious people, and unexplained events. The experiences of Raven H. with an elderly woman, told in the feature article below, easily fits into that category. And speaking of strange people, take a look at the video that claims to show real Men in Black, who came to a hotel to inquire after a UFO witness. And don't forget about the paranormal photo hoax contest. You have until May 15, and I'm going to keep bugging you until you send something in.

The Mysterious Old Woman
Who is the strange old woman who keeps appearing to Raven H., both in her dreams and in her waking life? Raven doesn't know her, doesn't know her name or where's she's from, has never really met her in any personal way. Yet this woman seems to know Raven intimately, giving her messages and warnings about future events. Who is this mysterious woman and how is any of it possible? Read this incredible true story.

Men in Black - Captured on Video
According to witnesses who saw these men in person, they were dressed identically in black (as you can see in the video). They had very pale complexions, large blue hypnotic eyes, no eyebrows or eyelashes, and possibly wigs for hair. And they didn't blink. They were said to talk strangely "about governments and conspiracies" and scared some of the hotel employees. Watch the video and read my analysis.
