Mummy Tales
Mummy Tales …oh if mummies could talk… I suppose, in a way, thanks to DNA sequencing they can!

Who Ya Gonna Call?
Who Ya Gonna Call? Meet the real ghostbusters (capecodtimes.com) By CYNTHIA McCORMICK October 26, 2008 No longer are tales of things that go bump in the night restricted to whispers around the campfire.

Colleges are sponsoring lectures on the paranormal, in which ghostbusters and skeptics spar over the quality and meaning of…

Why is my book free?
Why is my book free? Why is my book free? For the next ten days anyone who wants one can download a free copy of my last novel, The Reincarnationist. But why is my book free? It’s a question everyone has been asking me. Well, it’s not because I’m independently wealthy or because I think The Reincarnationist is worthless. My book is free because my husband always asks me to bring home cookies from Sant Ambrose whenever I go into New York City. It’s because I wear one of the L’Oeuvre Noire perfumes by Kilian. And it’s because we both use L’Occitane Verbena Shower Gel. And what all those things…

A Toy for the Afterlife?
A Toy for the Afterlife? Prehistoric child is discovered buried with ‘toy hedgehog’ at Stonehenge This toy hedgehog, found in a child’s grave at Stonehenge, is proof of what we have always known – children have always loved to play. The chalk figurine was probably a favourite possession of the three year old, and placed next to the child when they died in the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age, around 3,000 years ago. Archaeologists who discovered the grave, where the child was laying on his or her side, believe the toy – perhaps placed there by a doting father – is the earliest known depiction of a hedgehog…

Anunnaki
Anunnaki What do nibiru (planet x) and ancient Sumerian myth have in common? The Anunnaki: “Those who from Heaven came to Earth”… What are the mysterious origins of our species and what is our true history? Is this sort of alien creationism stuff just adding to the fundamentalist beliefs used to discredit scientific theories of evolution and Darwinism? Are we actually evolved from extraterrestrials? Are there other cultures in the galaxy that have influenced our earthly cultures or who could possibly be our ancestors? Who are the “gods” and angels of our ancient myths and religions? Please feel free to comment on these questions and the video, below. Emily K.…

Even theories can be reincarnated…
Even theories can be reincarnated… It may not seem that interesting at first glance, but the fact that black holes are now thought by Hawking to release information rather than destroying every single bit of anything that drops into them, is rather esoteric indeed. What do you think such ancient information could consist of, and in what manner do the black holes release this info? I’d like to know more. Anyone out there have any new information on this relatively recent revelation of Hawking’s (2004)? Hawking cracks black hole paradox (New Scientist) After nearly 30 years of arguing that a black hole destroys everything that falls into it, Stephen Hawking…
