Did you attend a college or other school that had its rumors and legends of ghosts? Perhaps you experienced one there yourself. If so, let me know about it. Meanwhile, enjoy this week's ghost stories, news, and more.

Haunted Colleges and Lighthouses
For whatever reason, certain types of buildings seem to attract ghosts more than others: castles, asylums, penitentiaries... and old college buildings and lighthouses. New additions have been made to our galleries of haunted colleges and universities, and haunted lighthouses: Michigan State University and Point of Ayr Lighthouse.

Did Pterosaurs Survive Extinction?
They were the largest creatures to ever attain flight. With wingspans reaching nearly 40 feet, pterosaurs ruled the prehistoric skies for over 100 million years, until they died out with the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. Or did they? Dozens of eyewitness accounts and a few intriguing photographs suggest that this flying monster, thought to have died with the dinosaurs, might still exist.

Strange Tales: Which Story is False?
It's game time! Can you tell paranormal truth from fiction? It might not be as easy as you think. Four stories of the unexplained are presented here. Only three of them are true. Read all of the stories then vote for the story you think is false!

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
Hey, there's an all-new Strange Tales game on the site right now! I love putting these together, and sometimes even I can't believe that three of the four stories are true because they are so astonishing. Also this week, I throw in my two cents about the question of whether or not Bigfoot should be hunted and killed. I'd like to know what you think, too. There's also a new item from the Paranormal Answer Man about what to do with an angry ghost.

Strange Tales: Which Story is False?
It's game time again! One of the reasons you and I find the paranormal so compelling is that its possibilities are so mind-bending. So I know you'll find these stories incredible! But be careful... three of them have been documented by reputable authors as being true. One of them, however, is completely made up by me. Your task is to read all four stories and then vote for the story you think is the one I invented. Have fun and good luck!

Should We Try To Kill a Bigfoot?
No, is my answer. There has been an ongoing debate on this question for quite some time, and there seems to have been more discussion about it lately. We should not hunt Bigfoot with the intent to kill it, in my opinion, for these reasons.... Read more.

Paranormal Answer Man: Will an angry ghost hurt us?
"My dad passed away December 10," says Cathy. "Is it possible that he is here? My mom swears that she saw and heard him the other night. He was really angry because she is going through some stuff and getting rid of unusable items. She is worried that he will hurt her. I don't think he can, but you never know.... Can he? Or is that just the grief that is making her mind play tricks on her? Should I do a test to see if he is there, or should I just let it ride? What do I do?" Read my answer.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
I know from personal experience that it's exciting to see something that looks paranormal in a picture that I've taken, especially when it was taken on a ghost hunt. Sometimes we're too eager to jump to the conclusion that it really is paranormal, however. We must always strive to be skeptical and objective when reviewing possible evidence. The human eye and brain are easily fooled, so we must be cautious. Having said that, take a look at this week's picture and let us know what you think of it.

Smoke Ghost picture
"This was taken a week or two ago [early 2012] in a flat in Oxford, U.K.," says Tom. "It's a friend of mine. Freaked him out when he saw it." Many ghost researchers refer to anomalies like this in photos as "ecto" or ectoplasm. In some cases this smoky stuff turns out to be just that -- smoke. Other times it might be caused by fog or vapor. There's also the possibility that this is a hoax -- a digital creation or manipulation. Or do you think this is a genuine apparition? Go see it in the Gallery. Then give us your opinion in the poll.

Reader Report: Husband's voice from beyond
"My husband Steve died on the 3rd of December last year after a long illness," reports Kathy. "He was 58. The morning after his funeral, the phone rang. No one answered, but my husband's voice was left on my answering machine! He just said my name in a raspy voice, like he did when he was ill. It really shook me, and everyone who has listened to it says it is him. The message is still on my machine, and I can't bring myself to delete it." Read more.

Spookiest Shadow People Encounters
Is it just because they are talked about more and more in paranormal circles, or are people really experiencing encounters with shadow people in increasing numbers? Or have these entities always been around? To be objective, we also have to consider that these experiences might be strictly illusions or psychological disturbances. However, you'd have a hard time convincing the people who offer these stories that what they saw and felt - and what terrified them - wasn't real.
