The Occult (6)
To even mention the word 'Exorcism' can quickly change the mood and demeanor of some people. It carries with it a very uneasy feeling. To speak of an Exorcism today, we often think of images from the movie The Exorcist. Exorcisms are performed on people or places that are said to be possessed by an entity or demon. To put it as plainly as I can, an exorcism is the driving out an unwanted spirit. Let's explore the weird world of of exorcisms...

I saw this billboard proclaiming that 'Judgment Day is coming May 21st' near my home the other day. This is not the first time I have seen a billboard like this. I have seen a half of dozen of these things plastered all over the Midwest the past few years. Same message, different city.
Who would go around making such a bold proclamation? Who is responsible for these billboards and why are they spending so much money to warn us that the world is coming to an end next month?
What I have found is…

According to a feature in the Global Post past life regression therapies are gaining popularity in India and therapists are charging big money (sometimes as much as $300 dollars a session) to “cure” clients of a range of complaints.
There’s even a hit TV show The Secret of Your Past Life in which a psychologist guides members of the public (and a few celebrities) through past life traumas that might be affecting their lives today.

The South Tyrol Museum of Archaelogy, who act as guardians for Ötzi, the mummy discovered in the Alps in 1991, have recruited the help of two reconstruction artists in an attempt to get a better idea of what Ötzi actually looked like.

But should those involved with Ötzi today worry that they might fall victim to a mummy’s curse?

I am hoping the skies clear here in Michigan to reveal tonight’s Lunar Eclipse. It is going to be a great sight to see. It is said that the moon will have a bright red to bright orange color. North and Central America should be able to view the entire show, which is expected to last 3½ hours if skies are clear. Total eclipse begins at 11:41 p.m. PST Monday or 2:41 a.m. EST Tuesday. The totality phase — when the moon is entirely inside Earth's shadow — will last a little over an hour.

Spontaneous human combustion (SHC) has to be the scariest paranormal phenomenon I have ever researched. Most people believe this to be just an Urban Legend, but this, in my opinion, is not the case. I have read case file after case file of humans bursting into flames and burning so rapidly, so completely, that their surrounding area does not catch fire. In December 1966, the charred remains of 92-year-old Dr. J. Irving Bentley was discovered in his Pennsylvania home by a service employee. The only thing left of Dr. Bentley's body was a leg and…
