October 28th - Countdown to Halloween

HAPPY OCTOBER 28th EVERYONE!

Is Halloween Really More Haunted?
Ghosts, the Paranormal, and This Time Of Year

Halloween and the various types of celebrations we hold at this time of year shout loudly of haunted places and ghostly goings-on. For parts of the world that experience the cooler temperatures of autumn with its crisp leaves and earlier sunsets. Does this time of year really invoke more activity from beyond the grave? Does fall actually usher in a time when the "veil" between the worlds is at its thinnest? Is Halloween a day that means anything to spirits; or is it a man-made holiday with no foundation in spirit wisdom?

For various historical glimpses into the holiday of Halloween - http://www.psychicpen.com/samhain.html
and - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween

From the many people I've talked with regarding the feelings of this season, it doesn't seem to matter much whether the temperature is warm or cool, cold or clammy. This time of year has the edge of mystery...of the unseen. Many ghost seekers find that hot temperatures increase paranormal activity. And still others find the days surrounding Christmas are highly active; the theory being that all the negative energy creates receptive fields.

Whatever the season, whatever the time of day, spirits are among us. Their energy, their personalities and often their love comes through at various times of year. But I genuinely feel that the sensation of "spooky" at this time of year helps them along, opens the doors and invites them in.

Haunted Highgate Cemetery

Opened in 1839, Highgate serves as the final resting place of a long list of famous people including Douglas Adams, Karl Marx and Radclyffe Hall. Highgate Cemetery boasts ghost sightings, vampires, aliens and botanical splendor.

Weekly Reading List

Hey folks! Thanks for checking out the site! I'm currently int he process of getting some awesome ghost stories for you all to read on the site, which I will try to schedule for posting the first Tuesday of every month. However, I've decided to post, every week, what sort of things I'm reading.

Don't expect this list to change so often, as it sometimes takes me quite a while to read a book.

Currently Reading: Ghosts. A great book, its huge, like 500+ pages, and really cheap. The stories are not so scary, but rather interesting, because the author claims them to be true.

About Paranormal: New Picture: Little Ghost of the Lake

If you can't see this email, click here

Paranormal Paranormal Ghosts Psychic Phenomena Creatures and More From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal The Halloween Costume Contest is officially closed, and I have to tell you that this is the best year ever. I have received pictures of some absolutely amazing costumes. I will be sharing them with you on Halloween or shortly thereafter. They're great! In the meanwhile, take a look at the terrific photo sent in by a reader taken back in the 1990s. Is that the ghost of a little girl? Little Ghost of the Lake picture "I took this picture of my husband fishing at a very remote lake, Dorothy Dunn, in northern Wisconsin," says Elizabeth of a very interesting photo that she sent in. "The lake has no boat launch and no homes are on the lake. We had to hike in to the lake through brush and weeds." Yet the image seems to show a little girl standing nearby, and Elizabeth is certain they were alone. Go look!

It's no wonder we all get creeped out this time of year. We become more aware that there are things -- unknown things -- out there in the dark. Here are three true stories of Halloween-time encounters with the unexplained. See More About:  halloween  fairies  true ghost stories The Scariest Games Are you planning a Halloween party?
