Rappings

Hearing knocks, thumps, taps and feeling a slight bump when no one is around is called rappings among paranormal researchers and investigators.

Rappings are thought to be the earliest known form of spirit communication. One of the most famous cases involving this type of phenomenon dates back to the mid 1800's: The Hydesville Rappings. Years later it was believed to be nothing more than a hoax. Regardless, and as a result of the claims, modern-day spiritualism was born.

One case that has yet to be proven fraudulent, and one of my favorites, is The Bell Witch haunting.

I have received a number of emails from readers who have experienced this phenomenon. Whether it coincide with the death of a loved one or happen as the result of a haunting, there seems to be something very real going on.

UFO Crash

A retired U.S. Air Force colonel and former fighter jet pilot says that he chased a UFO across West Texas and watched it crash along the Rio Grande River near Del Rio, Texas. Shortly after, he visited the crash site and saw a metallic object unlike any aircraft he had ever seen “sticking into the side of a hill.”Continue story

Our Supernatural World

Since the beginning of time humans have had experiences with angels, demons, ghosts, spirits, and other beings from the paranormal realm. To our ancestors these beings shared their world; belief in their existence was a spiritual and powerful one that governed their everyday life.

Today, it seems as though many have lost touch with their spirituality and have become consumed by a material world. When one experiences something "out of the ordinary", most often they are met with ridicule or speculations that they made it up, were imagining things and so on. That being said, I am beginning to see that more people are starting to pay closer attention to paranormal subject matter. As a result, people are allowing their minds to be more open to a supernatural / spiritual world.

Paranormal investigators along with documentary filmmakers have gathered undeniable proof time and time again that there is more to our world than what skeptics would have you believe. Their collection of EVPs, photos of Shadow People and apparitions, including footage of other phenomena, sends a powerful message. A message that our ancestors believed was vital to their physical existence - we coexist with a supernatural world. A world that should not be ignored or denied.

Zombie Road

Located in Glencoe, Missouri, Lawler Ford Road (nicknamed Zombie Road by locals) is a 2 mile long road through forest, hills and limestone bluffs which dead ends at the Meramec River. With over 100 years of history, the road has many legends concerning it. Tales of Native American spirits haunting the grounds, people who got lost out there never to return, and drug deals gone bad. There have been a few accidental deaths out there along with evidence of strange ritualistic-type activities which could be cause for some of the paranormal occurrences that are reported out there.

One of the most well known anomalies along Zombie Road is that of Shadow People. Dark shadowy figures that appear along the side of the road and nearby in the woods. A few years ago, Tom Halstead took this picture which clearly shows a dozen of these figures standing amongst the trees seeming to peer back at him.

Investigators from the Paranormal Task Force, along with filmmakers from Children Of The Grave, went out there to see if they could also capture these shadow people on film. It was not long before they began to pick up strange figures next to the trees, and just prior to that - a large black mass slowly moving along the road towards them. A noticeable temperature drop coincided with these sightings along with another important find. The team was using a laser grid system. They found that these black masses/shadows will actually break the beam. Which gives reason to believe that these entities have substance.
