According to Fox News, Mays had been on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at Tampa International Airport on June 27, the day before his death. None of the 138 passengers and five crew members were severely injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station. It is unclear whether Mays' death was related to the incident.

After 'Son of Dracula' tanked, Nilsson headed back to California, where he and Lennon would soon partake in their infamously debauched "lost weekend" (which actually lasted about a year and a half) while making the album 'Pussy Cats' together. He began lending his London apartment to friends in the music business. After two sold-out shows at the London Palladium in July 1974, "Mama" Cass Elliot suffered a fatal heart attack in one of the beds in Nilsson's flat. (Contrary to the longstanding urban legend, the zaftig singer did not die from choking on a ham sandwich.)
Four years later, Keith Moon and his girlfriend retired to the same apartment after joining Paul and Linda McCartney at a screening of 'The Buddy Holly Story.' Trying to quit drinking, the Who drummer was treating his withdrawals with Clomethiazole. He died of an overdose of the sedative -- reportedly, in the same bed that Mama Cass had died in. Moon's last album with the Who, 'Who Are You,' had just been released. On the cover, the drummer was seated backward in a chair stamped "Not to Be Taken Away."
Appalled by the deaths of his friends, Nilsson sold the flat to Pete Townshend. From there, the once-prolific recording artist's career went quickly downhill. His visibility during the 1980s consisted largely of appearances on behalf of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, which he joined after the murder of his friend Lennon. Nilsson released only a few more albums, all widely ignored, before his own heart gave out in 1994 - - spinner.com

Lusters: If You Want to See a Specter Badly Enough,
Will You? - Researchers set up "haunted"

topic. One such study, published in 2001 in Perceptual
And Motor Skills chronicles the experiences of a teenager

Global Magnetic Changes Enhancing Paranormal Phenomenon?
- After modeling nine years of spot-on satellite data
published in a recent edition of Nature Geoscience,
geophysicists now say that frequent changes in the

National Geographic reported earlier this week that
Danish geophysicists who co-authored the study have
commented on the strange, surprising way that changes
appear to take place in Earth’s magnetosphere
in various parts of the world. This has prompted some
to ponder whether or not paranormal phenomenon might
be triggered by such activity, and even if the Mayans
might have been correct about their doomsday theories
for the ever-steadily approaching 2012. -- Gralien

read the candidates' horoscopes and check each one
for physical imperfections. The living goddess must
have perfect hair, eyes, teeth and skin with no scars,
and should not be afraid of the dark. As a final test,
the living goddess must spend a night alone in a room

Sixth
Sense - The “Sixth Sense” is a colloquial
term that denotes the ability to receive or send information
outside the realm of the five senses of touch, sight,
sound, smell and taste. It is a blanket term that
covers a whole gamut of experiences of Extra Sensory
Perception (ESP) ranging from intuition and communing
with God (deemed a supernatural being by many), to
the netherworld of dark secrets like voodoo and black
magic. In between the two extremes are interspersed
other versions of ESP like psychokinesis, remote viewing,
telekinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance and déjà
vu, to mention a few. The German researcher Dr. Rudolf
Tischner used the term “sixth sense” in
his book "Telepathy and Clairvoyance" written

even claim to have communicated with the spirits responsible

to them, the spirits have made several demands for
leaving the school, including a special feast. The
shamans who have visited the school say that the spirits
claim that the new building had encroached on their
area, and that is why a group of students would scream
hysterically almost every day.
In most cases, the victims claimed that they saw an
apparition with long hair, while others claimed they
were possessed by an old woman and would act and sound

Malay
school infested by too many foreign ghosts! - Kuala
Lumpur, September 8 (ANI): Malaysian shamans claim
that there are too many foreign spirits at a school
in Kuantan called SMK Tanjung Lumpur. Some of them
even claim to have communicated with the spirits responsible
for bouts of hysteria at the school since May. According
to them, the spirits have made several demands for
leaving the school, including a special feast. The
shamans who have visited the school say that the spirits
claim that the new building had encroached on their
area, and that is why a group of students would scream
hysterically almost every day.
In most cases, the victims claimed that they saw an
apparition with long hair, while others claimed they
were possessed by an old woman and would act and sound
like one. State mufti Datuk Abdul Rahman Osman is
not in favour of striking a deal with the supernatural
beings.-- Thaindian.com, Thailand

claim to have picked up sudden changes in the magnetic

believe they recorded three unidentified voices, one
of them seems to say, "Leave me alone."

The
Northern Georgia Bigfoot Carcass Controversy - Loren
Coleman has made some very positive statements about
the Georgia carcass: “'It certainly looks like
the real deal… The gorilla-like facial features,
the robust lack of canines, and the grinding surfaces
shown in the teeth suggest a bulky vegetarian with
a mixture of higher primate characteristics.”
However, it’s unclear whether he has actually
seen the body in person or is merely drawing conclusions
based on the photographic evidence. Not everyone in
the Bigfoot research community has such a positive
view of the find. -- OpEdNews

It's
Ghost Season in Japan - Who You Gonna Call? - How
can one stop being haunted by ghosts? In the Christianized
West, holy water and crosses may help ward off ghosts,
but they won't keep their Japanese counterparts, buried
under Shinto or Buddhist rites, at bay. Instead, "ofuda"
strips inscribed with Buddhist sutras are believed
to be effective in keeping evil spirits away. Some
Shinto shrines also provide "oharai," a
purification ritual that removes bad omens with wooden
wands and chants. -- Japan Times
