From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
Everyone who reads this, I'm sure, has lost someone close to them -- a friend or relative -- and maybe we've wished that we could contact them somehow. Is it possible? See this week's feature. Also, great stuff in this week's news. And you still have a day or two to get me your pictures for the Paranormal Photo Hoax Contest! I'll be looking for them.

Can the Dead Talk to Us?
We can reach out to those who have passed, but can they talk back? We have developed various methods and rituals in hopes of making two-way contact - most recently, several technology-based methods. But are they effective? We seem to be getting responses... but can they be trusted? Are they truly responses from the dead? Here's a review of the most common methods could be channels through which the dead communicate. Read more.

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
Rolling Hills Asylum is definitely one of the spookiest places I've ever been to, not only because of its ghostly reputation but also because of its sad and sometimes tragic history. When I was part of an investigation there a few years ago, I did not personally see any shadow people, but several of the people I was with said they did. So I was really fascinated to receive the picture below from Sharon Coyle, owner of the old asylum. I think you'll appreciate it, too. And please don't forget about the Photo Hoax Contest! Frankly, I have not received many entries so far. You still have until the 15th!

Rolling Hills Asylum Shadowman
This amazing picture was sent in by Sharon Coyle, owner of the famously haunted Rolling Hills Asylum in East Bethany, New York. I have personally investigated this place and can attest to its creepiness and its reputation as one of the world's most haunted places. See the photo in the Gallery and read the details of when and how Sharon photographed this shadowman.

Reader Report: Smoky Bridge Ghost
"It was December, 2005 at Somatane phata, Pune, Maharashtra, India," reports Avinash. "At around 9.30 p.m., my girlfriend and I were out on my motorbike and had a fight, so I took the long way home, which was not our usual route. The argument became hot and I drove deep into the woods without realizing how far I went...." Read what happened when Avinash and his girlfriend reached an old bridge.

From Stephen Wagner, your Guide to Paranormal
Great true stories on tap this week! We have the tale of a ghost that's a real trickster -- plus a lot of terrific reports of ghosts, psychic phenomena, and more in this month's Your True Tales. And please don't forget about the Paranormal Photo Hoax contest. You have until the 15th to get your pictures in!

The Ghost That Liked Pranks
Stephen K. believes the house he grew up in is haunted. How else to explain the disembodied voices, the strange apparitions of light, the objects being thrown around, and the hand prints on the mirror? Each of these encounters seemed to target Stephen, and did so in a playful, pranksterish manner. The ghost's last and ultimate prank, however, was not so humorous and might have taken things a bit too far. Read more.

Your True Tales: May Stories
This month, 25 true stories of ghost encounters, psychic strangeness, shadowy entities, poltergeists, messages from beyond, and more, including: "College Professor's Ghost," "Ghost Hitchhiker and Car," "Ghost Sounded the Bugle," "I Shot a Ghost," "Miraculous Phone Repair," "Night of the Talking Pants," "Seven Foot Shadow Man," and more. Read them all and leave your comments.

Reader Report: U-Turn to Another Dimension
"I was out of work and had to go to Motor Vehicle," reports Laurie. "I was on my way when I drove past it. I went to the next light, turned and made a U-turn back to the light. That is all I did. For some strange reason, however, I wound up on a totally other road. Eventually I knew the road I was on, but not for a while. This road was a further distance than the one I was on. I only made a quick U-turn in order to make a turn at the light...." Find out what happened next!
