Suicide Forest in Mountain Fuji Japan
Author: Deena Budd
What is it about the Sea of Trees, also called the Jukai, located on the forests of Mount Fuji in Japan that draws people there to take their own lives?
During the last forty years or so, hundreds of people of all ages and vocations have traveled from all over Japan to come to the Suicide Forest to end their existence on this plane.
The authorities have placed warning signs all over the six thousand plus acres of forest area in an attempt to get people to think about what they are doing. One sign says "Wait! Think Again! You only have one life- value it."
For the most part, this forest doesn't sound as lovely as most wooded areas that I have visited. I have read of "stunted, twisted pines and oak trees," with little sunshine breaking through the darkness. There are seldom birds, and often ice lying in "black slabs on the paths."

Transferring the Memories and Feelings of a Dead Person into Ours
From: HypeSeek@AsiaParanormal
In the movies, often we see detectives with metaphysical abilities that connect them with the dead to solve a mystery case. So can we really embed the memories, including the feelings of a dead person into ours whom we absolutely have no connection with? Historing Tan, a writer on science offers to share a logical reasoning to the question.
Psychologists who studied the memory of human thought, speculated that memory were preserved in the protein molecules of the brain cell.
On the other hand, physiologists who studied the structure of human body found that nearly 98% of the cells are changed once a year, and the protein molecules in the brain cell are metabolized almost entirely in one or two days.
The human memory, however, is preserved to recall things many years ago.
If hypnotic methods are used, recalls can goes many years back and maybe recalling the ‘previous’ lives.
The question arises; how do the old cells transfer the memories to the new cells?
Some scientists have done so in passing their memory over to the newly born cell thru electric impulses.
If this is so that memory can be conserved thru electric energy, why should the consciousness which produces memory and imagination, not possible to be conserved in the space which is full of electricity?
If the principle of the conservation of consciousness is valid, it offers a theoretical explanation of people who experience recalling past lives or thought of being possess by spirit. In other words, the consciousness of a dead person is alive around us. Are we able to connect to them?

Buddhism and other Religion on Rebirth
From: HypeSeek@AsiaParanormal
Excerpt from: K Sri Dhammananda's "Do you believe in Rebirth"
The craving to unravel Rebirth among various communities
Buddhism regards the doctrine of Rebirth not as a mere theory but as a verifiable fact. The belief in rebirth forms a fundamental tenet of Buddhism. However, the belief in rebirth is not confined to Buddhists and Asia; it is also found in other countries, in other religions, and even among free thinkers.
Pythagoras and Plato could remember their previous lives. According to Plato, man can be reborn only up to 10 times. Plato also believed in the possibility of rebirth in animal kingdom.
Among the ancient people in Egypt and China, a common belief was that only well known personalities like emperors and kings have rebirths.
A well known Christian authority name Origen, who lived during 185 to 254 A.D., believed in rebirth. According to him, there is no eternal suffering in hell.
Gorana Bruno, who lived in the sixteenth century, believed that the soul of every man and animal transmigrates from one being to another.
In 1788, a well known philosopher, Kant, criticized eternal punishment. Kant also believed in the possibility of rebirth in other celestial bodies.
Schopenhauer (1788-1860), another great philosopher said that where the will to live existed, there must be of necessity life.
The Buddha explained this ‘will do exist’ as the craving for existence.
Read about the real rebirth cases from India and Sri Lanka
So what exactly causes rebirth?
The teachings of Buddha who died around 483 BCE was recorded and explains that “when the physical body is no more capable of functioning, energies do not die with it, but continue to take some other shape or form, which some people call another life.” The westerners recognized this theory only after 2000 years later where science begins to revolutionize the world and that is, in westerner scientific point of view, one of the most fundamental laws of nature, the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a system can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Buddhism terms this state of energy as the Kammic force. This force will manifest itself in the form of human being or in the form of animal. The Kammic force is inclusive of craving, desire, volition and thirst to live and these forces does not end with the non-functioning of the body but continues to manifest itself in another form, with the co operation of existing cosmic energies, producing re-existence which is rebirth. So are you one of the believers??

Ten ways to improve your psychic abilities
by ToddDaigneault
So you want to improve your psychic abilities? We all have them, but like muscles, they have to be properly and strongly developed to work well. Also, we must make ourself far more sensitive to the other realms, realities and dimensions that interact with our three-dimensional reality.
Sometimes, we need to clear the distractions and the psychic "static" that permeates our consciousness. As a researcher/experiencer, who has over thirty years of researching the paranormal behind him, here are ten steps in no particular order:
A good way to develop your psychic abilities is to use divination tools like Tarot cards, ordinary playing cards, runes and other divination-tools to help improve your abilities. Do a reading every few days for people around you.
This helps to strengthen psychic ability by working the areas of your brain responsible for ESP and other paranormal abilities. Over time, like exercise, those areas of your brain will strengthen considerably and your readings will get clearer and more accurate in predicting the future.

Chinese archaeologists 'discover' tomb of notorious pantomime villain Cao Cao
by Jonathan Watts
Chinese archaeologists claimed today to have found the tomb of one of the country's oldest and most notorious pantomime villains.
The bones of Cao Cao, who is a byword for treachery in Peking opera, may been located near the ancient capital of Anyang, in Henan province, the state-run broadcaster announced.
Picture is (C) copyright to Chinaview News
An epitaph and inscription were also found in the tomb that appear to identify the warlord, who helped to unify northern China.
If confirmed, the discovery would solve one of China's greatest historical puzzles.
Cao Cao, also known as the Emperor Wu of Wei, was a politician, general and poet whose brilliance as a military strategist and wordsmith was tarnished forever by the novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In that classic, he is portrayed as a scheming, merciless tyrant who is so suspicious of everyone he meets that he mistakes a plan to slaughter a pig in his honour as an assassination plot – and responds by killing everyone involved, including women and children.

My Encounters with "Quan Am" in Vietnam
Author : Former US Marine in Vietnam
The Vietnamese people like to talk about ghost stories no matter how scary they are. Most foreign expats write them off and tell the Vietnamese that it is just merely a figment of their imagination. I used to be one of those skeptics. Then I came to Vietnam…
Ten months later I saw the same ghost again in my room but this time I had been awake. I had just got a Quan Am Shrine earlier that week and put it in my room.
I was walking next to my computer when I saw an image of a young woman wearing all white standing next to the shrine. I turned to the direction where she was at but she disappeared immediately. After a couple days, I forgot about seeing this ghost again.
In February, 2006, I was teaching a group of students at SaigonTech. For some reason we started talking about ghosts. What they told me started to spook me. One student told me about seeing a young Asian woman with long black hair wearing white standing next to his friend one night while he was sleeping. He asked his friend who the woman was. His friend did not know. About 5 of my students told me the same story of seeing this same young women. Most of them saw her while they were awake but some said that she does appear in their dreams as well.
Most Vietnamese that I talked to about this ghost say she is Quan Am. Others are not too sure but she tends to be one of the most commonly seen ghosts in Vietnam.

The Tree Ghosts of Vietnam
Author: Paul Dale Roberts, HPI Ghost Writer
I have been to Thailand and Burma. I have never been to Vietnam, even though I flew over Vietnam and Laos to get to Thailand. I hope to one day visit Vietnam. Vietnam has become a friend to America and tourists are treated graciously. My half brother Andrew Somprise Soyo remembers a different Vietnam

Thuy remembers the stories about the 'tree ghosts of Vietnam'. Legend has it that wandering spirits around the countryside of Vietnam need a place to live and they take up residence in the trees of the jungle. It is said that if you cut down a tree without asking permission, you will be cursed or you will face bad luck. Usually the people of Vietnam will perform a ceremony asking the entities to leave a tree and to move onto another tree before cutting it down.
Former Lieutenant Howard Pierce who recently went to Vietnam on vacation, stopped off in the jungles of Bach Ma. He claims he saw two pale apparitions staring at him from one tree. As he approached the tree, the apparitions vanished in front of his very eyes. Perhaps Howard saw the tree ghosts of Vietnam?

Putrajaya urged to drive stake into witchcraft
Author: The Malaysian Insider
At least once a month, someone complains to Datuk Michael Chong about being cheated by a practitioner of black magic.
The most recent case happened two weeks ago. A Malay woman asked a bomoh to make her more beautiful, said Chong.
She ended up not only losing her cash but also with bruises all over her body after being beaten with a broomstick and other objects by the medium — ostensibly to rid her of an evil spirit.
Chong, who heads the Malaysian Chinese Association’s public services and complaints department, said such cases were increasing as mediums prey on the fear of those who go to see them.
Chong told The Sunday Times that one victim lost a whopping RM250,000, the largest sum reported thus far.
Therefore, he supports a recent call by Muslim scholars here to outlaw witchcraft in the country.
On Dec 16, respected Muslim scholar Haron Din, who is also a leader of Islamist party Parti Islam SeMalaysia (PAS), said that a law was necessary to curb the use of black magic because many people had been cheated of their money.

Aswang - The Beginning and Origin of a Legend
An excerpt from MICHAEL GROSBERG's "Hunting the Aswang"
Not surprisingly, like other folk beliefs around the world, the origin of the aswang is rooted in a specific historic moment. History professor Ephraim Areno of West Visayas University in Iloilo City explains that, in an effort to isolate Filipinos who opposed the occupation of the islands, the Spaniards claimed that “holdouts” who were forced to flee to the mountainous interior were in fact witches in disguise.

When you take into consideration that colonization always first takes place along the coastline, it’s not surprising that rugged, mountainous interiors become actual and metaphorical places of refuge and mystery. Traditional beliefs are more easily preserved as these places are harder to get to and farther from the reaches of modernity and technology.
Another way of understanding the emergence of this sort of belief is in the context of the clash between Christianity and traditional belief systems. During the pre-Spanish period in the Philippines, babaylan, or shaman, fulfilled important roles as political advisers to chieftains and spiritual conduits for the people. They tended to be women. With the arrival of the Spanish and the introduction of an alternative religious and political system, their power base was threatened and lives put at risk. As a result, they were influential in resisting the Spanish and therefore likely targets for a surreptitious campaign of slander and innuendo.

Aswang - The Most Dreadful Supernatural Creature in Philippines
From: HypeSeek@AsiaParanormal
Aswang is an intelligent supernatural creature that takes roots in Philippines as early as the 16th century. The creature is so fearful that some elders in Philippines refuse to even mention the word ‘Aswang’. There isn’t a clear definition to which class of monsters the Aswang belong to, but they are often depicted as a pretty-faced, fair skinned maiden during the day and transform into hideous vampire in the night with red bulging eyes, disheveled hair and crooked wings.
An Aswang can be very deceptive and shy when they are not hunting. They will behave like a normal person and even hold a normal job during the day.
The one way to spot an Aswang is by starring into the eyes of the creature and notices the orientation of your reflection. Your reflections in the eyes of an Aswang will always appear upside down or in the opposite direction. Aswang wear thick contact lenses today so that your reflections will be reflecting on the lenses and not on their eyes, thus avoid its identity being expose. It is said that one can see the true form revealed of an Aswang when they view it from a “Peek ka Boo” (bend down with head between legs) position. The Aswang need energy to survive and their source of energy is either from the consumption of the human fetus or the human cadaver, thought they are also known to consume the blood and flesh of a walking person.
The original descriptions of Aswang Mananangal describe that the upper torso is separated from its lower body when they go hunting for food during the night. The upper torso of the Aswang flies to an area far from their home in search of their victims while leaving their lower body at home. Aswang is believed to never victimize its neighbors, however if a person ever encounter an Aswang somewhere, it is said that if you stare hard into the eyes and the hideous face of an Aswang, they will be shy and turn away eventually. Aswang is also extremely afraid of salt, vinegar, chilly and spices. The Aswang will get severed burns on its body when sprinkled with the mentioned commodities. If the mentioned commodities is sprinkled on the open cuts of the lower body of an Aswang, the creature will not be able to revert and will died in the day. There are other methods to subdue the Aswang (probably) from the influences of the western vampire cultures, such as piercing thru the heart of the creature with the tail of a stingray or a sterling grade silver dagger. If a person failed to intimidate an Aswang, there are two scenarios that likely to continue, he or she will either be eaten by the Aswang or turn into an Aswang itself. The Mangkukulam (Traditional Philippines Alchemist) is able to cure the victim by performing a complicated ritual that will lock the victim for a certain number of days, forcing the victim to drink a formulated potion in replacement of food (the humans).
There are few ways that a person could possibly transform into an Aswang;
1. When a person pluck an inverted plant from a cave.
2. A black baby chicken or a lizard crawls inside a person mouth.
3. When an Aswang blew air into the person head or neck.
4. When an Aswang offer food to the person.
5. The Mangkukulam can cure a person from transforming into an Aswang can also curse a person to turn into an Aswang.

Haunting in Executive Condominium
by Unknown Author
The names of the location and persons in this article have been removed to protect intellectual property rights.
I was looking for a rental apartment and I spotted an Executive Condominium in The Straits Time Classifieds. It was in xxxxxx, located at xxxxxx, it was near to my work place and and the price was attractive!
The agent who advertised turned out to be the owner himself (I found out later that it was so because no other agent would want to help him market the unit after showing their first prospective tenants). So I arranged a viewing with the agent cum owner and rented it on spot because I was then desperately in need of a place to stay.
When I reached the apartment, I saw a BIG Cross on the main door, I'm a Catholic so I didn't take it to heart. I viewed the apartment, I found that it was renovated nicely and I was told by the owner that the he and his wife had only stayed for a short while and moved out because it was far away from their work place.
The owner looked nice enough, a gentle speaking man, I was in urgent need of a place to stay and it didn't take me long to put a deposit- I was thinking, I'm just renting a place, not buying and the price was extremely cheap and I could have the whole 3 bedroom aparment for myself at an incredible rent, no need to be fussy.
As the owner had bought the EC from HDB direct, they can't sell the EC yet(5 yrs rule) so they could only rent the place out for now. I came to know from neighbours later that more that 5 families had come and gone during these time. The neighbours also told me the actual reason the owners left was because the family had problems, lots of financial problem.
The husband owed the loan shark lots of money, even the security guards had to be instructed to stop debt collectors from coming to the house. The family was breaking up. The husband was seeing another woman and he wanted a divorce. The wife refused and hence they quarrelled everyday. So please check with the surrounding neighbours before you rent or purchase a flat which now I learn. Ok! now I will listed all the incidences happened during my two months there.
1) One night after watching TV alone, I think it was about 2.00am and I was walking back from the living room past the dining room to the bedroom to sleep, I heard a boy's voice(very clearly) calling my name once and instinctly I turn my head to my left where the voice came from. My whole body went cold when there was nothing there at all! I rent the whole place for my own and there could be no one else in the house!
2) It was in the afternoon, I was washing hair in the bedroom toilet. As I was sitting on the edge of the bath tub bending forward holding the shower above my head washing my hair, suddenly, I felt that someone gave me a hard push above my head. I was unable to see that time cos my eyes were covered with shampoo, but I could discern a black shadow in the form of a 'human(?)' in front of me. Again, there could be no other person in the house!
3) (This one is real spooky) It was when I met a neighbour next door. I was instructed not to talk with the neighbours cos the owner had rented out the whole unit illegally, so this was the first time I had talked to my neighbour. Then, during our conversation, they mentioned, "Where is your son?" I told them that I am single and I stay alone but they insisted that they saw themself, when I left the main door open while I was in the hall watching TV on the sofa, there was a boy playing next to me and he was about 3 yrs old!! Both husband & wife saw that!
4) There was one evening at about 11.00pm. I was having my bath thenwhen I turn to face the wall behind me, I got a shock! There was a black figure like a human child on the wall! I was shaking like a leave and naturally used the hot shower spray and spray to that direction. Nothing happen at all so I quickly rushed out.
5) This last one is the final straw I was able to take before I decided to forfeit my deposit and shift out to my friend's place. I forgot to mentioned that all this time during the night when I was sleeping in my locked master bedroom, I always heard noises like someone twisting my room handle and trying to open the door. I did checked many times to no avail. One evening after watching TV, I went back to bedroom to sleep. As I entered the masteroom, I got a shock! There was a pair of deep lighted shinning green eyes on my PC screen in the room. The PC was not even switch on!! Just to make sure it was not a fault, I even pull out the plug from the socket!! The pair of eyes was still there!! Then suddenly the TV in the living room was switched on and the volume turned to the highest! I just ranout of the house without even locking the door and stayed at the guard house till the next moring!
I moved that morning!! This is a series of true incidences witnessed by me, I have been more diligent in going to church lately after this.
The last thing I heard, the owner is trying to sell the EC now as it's already reached the 5 yr occupation period. Take care and take note of the address when hunting for a home!!!

I was looking for a rental apartment and I spotted an Executive Condominium in The Straits Time Classifieds. It was in xxxxxx, located at xxxxxx, it was near to my work place and and the price was attractive!
The agent who advertised turned out to be the owner himself (I found out later that it was so because no other agent would want to help him market the unit after showing their first prospective tenants). So I arranged a viewing with the agent cum owner and rented it on spot because I was then desperately in need of a place to stay.
When I reached the apartment, I saw a BIG Cross on the main door, I'm a Catholic so I didn't take it to heart. I viewed the apartment, I found that it was renovated nicely and I was told by the owner that the he and his wife had only stayed for a short while and moved out because it was far away from their work place.

Fatal Frame - Himuro Mansion Haunting
by Joan Seth
Picture is (C) copyright to Tecmo
Fatal Frame (known as Zero in Japan or Project Zero in Europe) was a video game developed by Tecmo and released in 2001.
The main basis of the plot focuses on a young lady called Miku Hinasaki, who travels to the supposedly haunted Himuro Mansion to search for the older brother. Mafuyu Hinaski was a novelist, who together with his assistant and editor went to the Himuro Mansion to search for his mentor, Junsei Takamine.
Please click here for an article on the Himuro Mansion
Although Miku eventually manages to find her brother, Mafuyu refuses to leave with her. It turns out that a vengeful spirit had kidnapped Mafuyu due to his resemblance to her former lover. Mafuyu states that he has to stay with her, so she will not be alone again.
Miku escapes the mansion alone, just in time to see the entrapped spirits of the mansion being released and floating into the night air.
How truthful is this game? Tecmo marketed the game outside of Japan with a "Based on a true story" tag.
The Himuro Mansion was a site of gruesome murders and deaths of a Japanese family and several associates a few decades ago.
However, the game does not make any mention of these murders; instead, other Japanese urban legends and ghost stories were included in it.
Please click here for an article on Japanese Ghosts
Ghosts like the Yurei and Onryo were mentioned in the game instead, which brings into question the factuality of this previous "basis" for the true story.
Nevertheless, this game was innovative for that time, in the sense that it helped popularize a genre of video games known as Survival Horror. It was also unique that it featured Japanese ghosts, spirits, exorcisms and occult rituals, which was not the main focus of any Survival Horror game before. It would be years later when Sony Computer Entertainment released Siren which is based on a deadly occult ritual.

Aquarium snaps world's first photos of young coelacanth
IWAKI, Fukushima Pref. (Kyodo)
Picture is (C) copyright to www.cryptomundo.com
A team from an aquarium in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, has succeeded in capturing the world's first photographs of juvenile coelacanths, a fish regarded as a living fossil, off Indonesia's Sulawesi Island.
According to Aquamarine Fukushima, the fry were found Oct. 6 at a depth of 161 meters in Manado Bay off North Sulawesi Province, where the Indonesian coelacanth was first discovered more than a decade ago.
While little is known about the breeding habits of coelacanths, examination of captured specimens has shown that their eggs hatch inside the female and the young, known as pups, are born as fully formed juveniles.
The fry photographed by Aquamarine Fukushima were 31.5 cm long and appeared to be newborn.

Picture of 100ft-long 'snake' sparks fears of mythical monster in Borneo
By Richard Shears
According to legend, the Nabau was a terrifying snake more than 100ft in length and with a dragon's head and seven nostrils.
But now local villagers living along the Baleh river in Borneo believe the mythical creature has returned after this photo of a gigantic snake swimming along the remote waterways has emerged.
The picture, taken by a member of a disaster team monitoring flood regions by helicopter, has sparked a huge debate about whether the photos are genuine or merely the work of photo-editing software.
Picture is (C) copyright to The Daily Mail
Even the respected New Straits Times newspaper in Kuala Lumpur has asked readers to make up their own minds about the photos.
Villagers who claim to have seen the snake say they have given it the name of Nabau, after an ancient sea serpent which can transform itself into the shapes of different animals.
People who have studied the photograph of the shape taken from the air have dismissed suggestions that it's a log.

Canadian searches for origin of ‘Aswang’
Author: Felipe V. Celino
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 00:42:00 11/01/2008
ROXAS CITY – A young film-maker from Canada is doing a documentary regarding the origin of the word “Aswang” in the Philippines.
“We are hoping to make this documentary the most comprehensive and informative presentation of the word Aswang and the myths surrounding it,” says High Banks Entertainment Ltd.’s Canadian filmmaker Jordan Clark.
Clark, 36, is in Capiz to conduct research and interviews regarding the origin of the “Aswang.”
Clark makes it clear he is not a believer of the “Aswang” (witch or vampire).
To him, Capiz, Roxas City in particular, “is the cleanest safest city in the Philippines and the hospitality is second to none” and Aswangs do not exist in the province.
Clark, whose visit here last month was his fifth trip to Capiz, said he only wants to search and discover the origin of the word “Aswang” and map out the anatomy of the myth, which he believes originated from Capiz.
Exploring Capiz
With the help of some residents, Clark, in the next nine days, will travel to various parts of the province to interview old timers who might know how and when Capiz became known as a haven of Aswangs.
For years, the province of Capiz has been regarded as a haven of evil persons possessed with black magic.
Capiceños have been, and still are, being derisively called “Aswang” – half-bodied, flying witches hungry for human flesh and blood.

Chinese Black Magic Sorcery
by Paranormal Searchers
There are certain practitioners that deviate from the original teaching. These are the ones that follow the “Tao of the Left”, “Left Handed Paths” or “Side Doors” teachings. They practice sorcery that is extremely fierce. Some of them have great spiritual powers. They can cause the victim to be insane and even death!
Sorcery comes in many different forms it may be elements such as air, earth, wind and fire combined. They may even use spirits of the deceased to do their bidding, words and sounds (mantra) formulated into certain vibrations to effect a physical change in others, the earth’s meridian, astrological constellations, natural energies, guardians, spirits and beings that inhabits the mountain, forest, or even a lake.
Whether it’s white or black magic depends on the motivation of the practitioners. It is usually used to fulfill some wish quickly that is impossible to accomplish by normal means.

Solving the Codes on the Cover of The Lost Symbol
From: Greg
In late 2003 it was pointed out to me that the dust cover of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code contained a number of curious ‘anomalies’: map co-ordinates in ‘mirror writing’, bolded letters hiding odd messages, and more. The reason for these strange inclusions became clear when Dan Brown announced in an interview that clues about the sequel to The Da Vinci Code were hidden on the cover of the bestselling book.
Picture is (C) copyright to Doubleday Publishing Group
By solving these puzzles and ciphers – and being conversant with many of the topics and resources Brown was likely to use in writing the sequel, I was able to write a complete primer on the as-yet unpublished book in late 2004 (the progenitor of this book you are holding now).
In this very early ‘guide’ to the contents of The Lost Symbol – originally titled (and self-published) as Da Vinci In America – I gave background information on many of the topics that I surmised would be in the new book: Francis Bacon and the transmission of Rosicrucian philosophies, the history of Freemasonry, how ‘the Craft’ influenced America’s Founding Fathers, and the esoteric landscape of Washington, D.C. (including such exotic locales as the Scottish Rite’s “House of the Temple”).

Sinister side of Santa Claus
by Joan Seth
Christmas is commonly known as a time for celebration, for gift sharing and having special meals. Although a Christian holiday, Christmas is widely celebrated by many non-Christians, and some of its celebratory customs include pre-Christian or secular themes and origins.
The concept of Christmas revolves around the birth of Jesus Christ, however, most experts believe that Jesus was instead born in the Spring and that Christmas is actually a pagan winter festival.
But to many people, especially children, Christmas is a joyous occasion as they receive gifts from family and friends. Traditionally, a mythological figure called Father Christmas or Santa Claus, would travel around the world, giving gifts to kids on Christmas Eve.
Santa Claus or Saint Nicholas was noted for the care of children, generosity, and the giving of gifts. He traditionally appeared in bishoply attire, accompanied by helpers, and enquired about the behaviour of children during the past year, before deciding whether they deserved a gift or not.
However, in certain cultures, there is a belief in certain companions of Santa Claus. Unfortunately, they are more of the sinister and evil side, and do not really fit in the theme of a festival. Here's a look at some of them:
In Austria, Krampus is a scary figure who wears black rags and masks. He traditionally warns and punishes bad children while accompanying Saint Nicholas on his travels. Images of Krampus usually show him with a basket on his back used to carry away bad children and dump them into the pits of Hell. Not what you expected.
This picture is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 License.
Zwarte Piet is commonly known as a Devil who was enslaved by Saint Nicholas to help him. He appears in traditions originating from the Netherlands and Spain.
He is often portrayed as a mischievous character. Parents will tell their children that if they have been good, Zwarte Piet will bring them gifts and sweets, but if they have been bad, Piet will scoop them up, stuff them in his huge dufflebag and spirit them away as punishment.
Nowadays, the character of Zwarte Piet is usually linked to racism than festivities.

Knecht Ruprech is of French origin. He was said to be a murderer of three children, until Saint Nicholas discovered the murders and resurrected the dead children. The murderer, out of shame and repentance, decides to become a servant of Saint Nicholas.
Knecht Ruprech travels with Saint Nicholas and punishes naughty children by whipping them. He distributes small whips instead of gifts.
Ruprecht walks with a limp, and wears black clothes. His dirty face and clothes are attributed to the soot he collects as he goes down chimneys.

Lost city of Atlantis found?
By David Derbyshire
Picture is (C) copyright to The Daily Mail
For centuries the story of Atlantis has captured the imagination - a fabled city of great beauty, culture and wealth that was suddenly swallowed up by the ocean.
Its location - or at least the source of the legend - remained a tantalising mystery. Was it really in the Mediterranean and not in the Atlantic at all?
Some claim its ruins lie beneath the waves off the coast of Cornwall. Others say they've been found in the Black Sea.
But for a few hours this week, experts hoped the riddle may finally have been solved.
More than six hundred miles off West Africa and more than three miles down lay a mysterious grid of lines that resembled the streets of a city.
Was this where the ocean's might overwhelmed Altantis, drowning its people and sweeping away a civilisation?
Or would it prove to be yet another reminder that, actually, there may not have been an Atlantis anywhere at all.

First home from Jesus' time found in Nazareth
by Michael Winter
Picture is (C) copyright to Getty Images
Today in Nazareth, boyhood home of Jesus, archaeologists showed off the remains of a home that may have belonged to one of his neighbors, the first such dwelling from that era.
The simple house was one of about 50 that belonged to the impoverished Jewish families who lived in the hamlet. The remains of a wall, a hideout from Roman soldiers, a courtyard and a roof-top water system were found after builders dug up the courtyard of a former convent to make room for a new Christian center, just yards from the Basilica of the Annunciation.
This may well have been a place that Jesus and his contemporaries were familiar with," archaeologist Yardena Alexandre, excavations director at the Israel Antiquities Authority, told the Associated Press. Jesus may have played around the house with his cousins and friends, he added. "It's a logical suggestion."

The Hauntings of Diplomat Hotel Philippines
From: HypeSeek@AsiaParanormal
The Diplomat Hotel on Dominican Hill, Baguio City, Philippines is famous for being haunted by headless apparitions amongst other things. There were some visitors of the hotel claiming to saw headless figures carrying a platter with their severed damaged head on it, walking along the corridors wailing for justices. The abandoned hotel was the heaven for the paranormal and ghost hunters.
The building was once the seminary Collegio Del Santissimo. The seminary was closed in 1917 due to poor enrolment figures. When during WWII, the seminary was used as a refugee camp. The Japanese run over the seminary and decapitated almost every clergy in the building. These murders were rumored to take place at the ground and second floor of the building. Many other refugees were also killed by the bombing of the seminary during the Japanese invasion.
It is rumored that the Japanese drowned childrens in this fountain.

The building were restored after the war and bought over by Diplomat Hotel Inc. in 1973 and converted the building into an enterprising hotel. The hotel is made up of 33 bedrooms with a lot of architectural features remained intact to preserve the historical values of the building.
When Tony Agpaoa, a major shareholder and General Manager of the Diplomat Hotel died in 1987, the hotel was also closed down. Since then, visitors, ghost hunters and neighbors had reported sightings of a headless priest roaming around the corridors of the hotel. It was rumored to be Father Rogue Ruano, who was in charge of Collegio Del Santissimo.
The building were left abandoned for two decades until 2009, where there is rumored that authority is bringing it back as a historical museum.

Nensha - Thoughtography
By Chris Capps
This holiday season when you’re posing for a photograph with the family, perhaps you should make an attempt to take a couple of pictures outside of the camera. Think it’s impossible? The photograph at left was taken in a closed room without windows. Though the street, and cars within were never identified, they were certainly nowhere near the institute where the photograph was taken.
To place your thoughts onto film is called “Nensha,” or “Thoughtography.” Of course though the concept has been around since 1913 it is still little known in most paranormal circles. Some will recognize the phenomenon from the movie “The Ring,” but few know it actually has happened several times throughout recent history.
Picture is (C) copyright to unexplainable.net
Quite literally Nensha means “spirit photography,” which is an interesting divide between Eastern and Western parapsychologists. Tomokichi Fukurai is the first documented scientist to attempt to capture Nensha in a controlled environment. His subject was a well known clairvoyant named Chizuko Mifune.
Unfortunately, their experiments were highly controversial and Mifune was thought by skeptics to be a charlatan. Despite this, one public experiment they had performed involved Mifune reading letters written within envelopes before astonished audiences. Later, Mifune’s experiments would be retold as legend in the Japanese horror film “Ringu” which would recast her abilities in a much different light.

Introduction to Ghost in Thai Culture
Ghosts (Phi) are alive and well in Thailand. Cinemas are guaranteed a full house for the opening of a new ghost movie or indeed a re-run of an old one. On television, ghost stories are extremely popular and come in many varieties from the comic to the gruesome.
But ghosts are no laughing matter in Thailand. If pressed, the majority of the Thai population will admit to believing in ghosts and many claim to have seen them. This phenomena is not restricted to the elderly in rural villages but is even taken seriously by university students and people in all walks of life and is particularly strong in Northern Thailand. It is bad luck and tempting fate to talk about ghosts but nearly everyone has a tale to tell.
Many Thais wear amulets to protect them against evil spirits and everywhere you go in Thailand you will see Spirit Houses (San Phra Phum).
There are many different kinds of ghosts in Thailand all of them to be feared and each posing a different threat. To combat this proliferation of evil spirits Thailand has its own special kind of "Ghost Buster", the Mho Phi or ghost doctor. Different techniques are employed depending on the type of spirit to be banished and some of these Mho Phi have gained celebrity status.

Does Death Exist? New Theory Says 'No'
Robert Lanza, M.D.
Many of us fear death. We believe in death because we have been told we will die. We associate ourselves with the body, and we know that bodies die. But a new scientific theory suggests that death is not the terminal event we think.
One well-known aspect of quantum physics is that certain observations cannot be predicted absolutely. Instead, there is a range of possible observations each with a different probability. One mainstream explanation, the "many-worlds" interpretation, states that each of these possible observations corresponds to a different universe (the 'multiverse'). A new scientific theory - called biocentrism - refines these ideas.

Handcuffed Statue Has the Experts Talking
By ARKAR MOE
A handcuffed statue of a revered woman who exists only in Burma’s spirit world is at the center of debate and speculation among even the country’s intellectual elite.
Picture is (C) copyright to The Irrawaddy
“It is very interesting and mysterious story,” said Khin Maung Kyi, a writer on cultural affairs.
He and an increasing number of others interested in occult practices in Burma are following the story of a statue in Rangoon’s Bo Ta Htaung Pagoda which is handcuffed every night between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
“It is a sign of superstition,” said Khin Maung Kyi. “So we need to watch and observe it.”
The statue is of a prominent nat, or spirit, named Mya Nan Nwe and revered for the good deeds she is said to perform in the name of Buddhism. It is believed that she can transform herself into a beautiful girl and that she is the guardian of a treasure trove that she uses to build pagodas and other religious buildings.

Indian scientists detect signs of life on Moon
Bhargavi Kerur / DNA
Bangalore: Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) are on the brink of a path-breaking discovery. They may have found signs of life in some form or the other on the Moon.
They believe so because scientific instruments on India's first unmanned lunar mission, Chandrayaan-1, picked up signatures of organic matter on parts of the Moon's surface, Surendra Pal, associate director, Isro Satellite Centre (Isac), said at the international radar symposium here on Friday.
Organic matter consists of organic compounds, which consists of carbon -- the building block of life.
It indicates the formation of life or decay of a once-living matter.
Pal said the signatures were relayed back to the Bylalu deep space network station near Bangalore by the mass spectrometer on board the Indian payload, the moon impact probe (MIP), on November 14, 2008.

The accident kills about 160 people on the spot, 100 people were injured and burned and the remaining survivors had not recovered from the traumatized cause by the accident. Since then faint crying sounds, disco music and dancing figures shadows could be seen reported often by the neighborhood.
Many family members of the victims in the accident had tried contacting the souls of their love one thru a medium. Rituals were also held outside the once flourished discotheque regularly to assist the spirits of the victims to leave the world in peace. A man assisting in the ritual was said to have being processed by one of the spirit of the victim during the accident. The processed man could illustrate the process of the fire breakout in vivid clear details. Today, the street is still very quiet; workers around the neighborhood had said to experience fewer ghostly encounters and they never carry out work at night.

Hotel in Guangzhou, China haunted
By: Spooky Corner
Author’s Note : This is a story told by my colleague who’s boyfriend, Jim, went to stay in a haunted hotel in Guangzhou but never stumbled upon anything unusual.
My boyfriend, Jim, always needed to travel up to Guangzhou, China for business purposes along with some ladies in the same department. Each time they would stay in the same hotel and co-incidentally, each time my boyfriend would stay in the same room. Jim had been traveling and staying in the hotel for some 2 years but nothing unusual happened.
About 2 trips ago, Jim had to bring along an additional male colleague, Fred, who happened to be his first time travelling to Guangzhou. Since Fred’s mum happened to work in the temple, she gave Fred a charm for protection and safe journey. Upon arriving at Guangzhou’s hotel, Jim as usual was checked into the same room as the previous times together with Fred in the same room. The girls on the other hand was staying at the next door.
As soon as Jim and Fred reached their hotel room, they unpacked and got ready for work. To Jim’s surprise, Fred took out his 8 feet by 8 feet length charm and laid it on his bed. Jim asked Fred about it but Fred just explained that it was for protection purposes and did not divulge further. That night after work, both continued their work on their laptops and typed away in silence. It was about 7pm when the light suddenly flickered. Fred started to panic and asked Jim to get the room service to check out the lights but room services could not find out why the lights in the room were flickering.
All along, the lights flickered like the fireflies for sometimes and it happened on and off. As sudden as it started, it stopped. Jim and Fred ignored and continue working until around supper time. Everyone was a little hungry and decided to head off for some supper. The girls and guys had a quick supper and head back to the hotel. However, Jim and the girls thought about a quick beer session at the bar and off they went. Fred was pretty tired and told everyone else he would head back to the hotel room first.
After about an hour, Jim and the girls came back, they were shock to find Fred sitting at the corridor waiting for them. It was not until that Jim had came back that Fred was willing to take a quick shower and went to bed. Jim didn’t query much about his colleague’s peculiar behaviour.

Author’s Note : This is a story told by my colleague who’s boyfriend, Jim, went to stay in a haunted hotel in Guangzhou but never stumbled upon anything unusual.
My boyfriend, Jim, always needed to travel up to Guangzhou, China for business purposes along with some ladies in the same department. Each time they would stay in the same hotel and co-incidentally, each time my boyfriend would stay in the same room. Jim had been traveling and staying in the hotel for some 2 years but nothing unusual happened.
About 2 trips ago, Jim had to bring along an additional male colleague, Fred, who happened to be his first time travelling to Guangzhou. Since Fred’s mum happened to work in the temple, she gave Fred a charm for protection and safe journey. Upon arriving at Guangzhou’s hotel, Jim as usual was checked into the same room as the previous times together with Fred in the same room. The girls on the other hand was staying at the next door.
As soon as Jim and Fred reached their hotel room, they unpacked and got ready for work. To Jim’s surprise, Fred took out his 8 feet by 8 feet length charm and laid it on his bed. Jim asked Fred about it but Fred just explained that it was for protection purposes and did not divulge further. That night after work, both continued their work on their laptops and typed away in silence. It was about 7pm when the light suddenly flickered. Fred started to panic and asked Jim to get the room service to check out the lights but room services could not find out why the lights in the room were flickering.
All along, the lights flickered like the fireflies for sometimes and it happened on and off. As sudden as it started, it stopped. Jim and Fred ignored and continue working until around supper time. Everyone was a little hungry and decided to head off for some supper. The girls and guys had a quick supper and head back to the hotel. However, Jim and the girls thought about a quick beer session at the bar and off they went. Fred was pretty tired and told everyone else he would head back to the hotel room first.
After about an hour, Jim and the girls came back, they were shock to find Fred sitting at the corridor waiting for them. It was not until that Jim had came back that Fred was willing to take a quick shower and went to bed. Jim didn’t query much about his colleague’s peculiar behaviour.

Jurong West Monkey Tree
Orginal Post by Chia Shi Jen
Recently in Singapore, there was a case of a tree which attracted many visitors to it. These people claimed that they could see a figure of a Monkey God in the tree.
Basically to say, that tree survived a few car clash accidents into the same tree. Over the period of time through it’s recovery, the shape of monkey was formed.
In fact some said that there were 3 monkeys, while most said that there are only 2 monkeys. However there is also remaining rest who said that there is but only 1 monkey.
There are really a lot of people there most of which are Chinese & Indians. The Chinese who went there is mostly Buddhist and; the Indians who went there are mainly Hindus. The remaining rest unmentioned are the minorities.
You have see it to believe it for yourself! Of course over the time through so much praying & all those, suddenly the place become holy, & some people’s prayers or wishes are answered.

Haunting in Manila Film Center Philippines
From: HypeSeek@AsiaParanormal
The Manila Film Center is believed to be the tomb of at least 169 workers. It is reported to be haunted by aggressive ghost where unknown shadow figures are sighted and mysterious voice could be heard in the building.
Ferdinand Marcos, the president of The Philippines at the time, decided to build an expensive film center as a way of enhancing the reputation of The Philippines around the world.
Unfortunately, it appears that both he and his wife, Imelda, began to change the building plans while the structure was being built, forcing construction delays. As a result, the center was being completed as quickly as possible in time for its inaugural film festival.
An accident that took place in November 17, 1981 where the scaffold collapsed during the construction, causing workers to fall into wet cement - many being impaled on steel bars. Because the cement was setting at the time, many became trapped - some being cooked alive. Since the recovery of bodies would take too long and required dried cement to be dug up, Imelda Marcos ordered that the remaining bodies be covered by cement and the construction work continued. I have not found any source that firmly states the total no. of death cause by this accident. In general, it is believed that 15 workers were killed while some source thought up to 169 workers were killed. The remains of the workers were entombed with the building.
There isn’t any media press that reports of this accident to the public and the origin of the source of the accident were unknown of to the Philippines and the world. The former site of the Manila Film Center is now Amazing Theatre Philippines in today.

Don't get in a flap, it's just a cat with furry wings
Someone should tell the birds to look out - now cats are growing wings.
At least, this cat in the Chinese city of Chongqing in China appears to be.
Animal experts have been left baffled by the fluffy white moggy, who was born normal - but began growing wing-shaped appendages on either side of his spine when he was just a year old.
Some experts believe the bony 'wings' are in fact a freak mutation - a Siamese twin growing inside the kitty.
Others think the mutation may be genetic, caused by chemicals during his mother's pregnancy.
Whatever the answer is, the cat does not seem to mind - with his owners even claiming he enjoys all the attention.

Korean Ghosts, Ghouls, Goblins
By:Ginny Oct
귀신 is a generic term for a ghost or spirt. A 귀신 is a spirt that has already died but for one reason or another has not passed on to the afterlife. In other words, a Korean 귀신 is a spirit roaming the earth. In Korean ghost stories, the 귀신 is often in the form of a female with long black hair covering the face. The typical reason for the 귀신 to remain on this earth seems to center around carrying out some kind of revenge, or unfinnished business on earth. If you look at some of the rituals performed by Korean shamans, the rituals typically try to appease or release the ghost’s inner torment.
So where do Korean ghost stories come from? They may have formed from an old misconception or perhaps an exaggeration of an ancient Korean practice. The practice stems from old funeral rites. Long ago when a parent died, it was not unusual for an unmarried daughter to untie her hair in a gesture of grief. Nowadays some people in Korea wear black when someone dies, but white was actually the color of mourning in the olden days. Not coincidentally, Korean ghost stories describe the ghosts as wearing a white 한복 with unkempt, untied hair in the form of a female. Perhaps this is where the first Korean ghost stories come from.

The Thai Spirit House
By: Ghosts and Spirits of Thailand
Almost every home and business has a Spirit House, the Thai word for them is San Phra Phum, here is an image of a typical Spirit House:
The Spirit Houses are used to house any spirits that live on the land, particularly spirits of ancestors who have passed, and providing a Spirit House helps to ensure that harmony and serenity will descend upon the land and property, the idea being that if they have their own dwelling in which to reside they will not feel it necessary to haunt the main house or building. To ensure the spirits are content in their abode they are provided with offerings of food, drinks, garlands and incence sticks. If properly provided for the spirit guardians will protect the dwelling and bring wealth and prosperity. Spirits that inhabit houses and private dwellings are known as Phra Phum and for businesses they are called Phra Chai Mong Kol.
San Phra Phum are placed on the land as determined by a Brahman Priest or another person specialising in these rituals who will find the best position, ideally to the North of the main building, and ensure that the shadow of the main house never reaches the spirit house as this is regarded as very unlucky. The priest will also determin the best day for the ceremony to invite the spirit into the Spirit House, this is calculated using certain dates - the best days are on Wednesday or Thursday, in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 9th or 11th waxing or waning moon. They also need to ensure that the selected date does not co-incide with other dates in the calendar which are regarded as bad luck.

2007 Eerie Events and Paranormal and Unexplained Happenings
Author: Debbie Nicholson
Every year there are stories of the strange, unusual and unexplained. Recorded cases of spirit visitations, demon presence, haunted items. Strange seen occurrences that are not explainable. A lot of these are reported by ordinary persons like you and I. Who swear that what they relate are actual true events either witnessed by themselves or someone they knew.
As of September 2007, a new collection of events were complied. I found the count so far of the paranormal and explained to be as follows:
Ghost related incidents 44
Doppelganger 7
Hauntings or Haunted includeds item possessions: 11
UFOs 4
Angels 9
Ouija/Seance 2
Creatures/Monsters 18
Spirits 35
Visions/Premonitions 5
Demons 29
Others (those that do not or I feel do not fit in the above) 47
Some of these related incidents or stories fall into the famous "known" category, such as Big Foot, Moth Man, UFOs. Just like famous ghost stories like the 'Lady of the Lake" or "The Lady In White" which we have all heard time and time again. Some of them just seem impossible to believe while others can intrigue us.
One story is of the Haunted Cruise Ship Sapphire Princess. In May 2007 a incident was reported. The story goes that when the ship was being built in japan, a fire occurred. It was on the 13th floor and killed hundreds. Japanese tradition states that the site where a person dies of tragedy must be preserved. This is so the person who died does not realize they are dead. It was related that the 13th floor was constructed to resemble all other floors but is blocked off to the public. A witness stated that there is a landing between floors 12 and 14 but there is no 13th floor. They did witness strange and eerie events on the landing including chilled air.
With some old fashioned surfing I did find that Princess Cruise Ships do offer so called "spooky shore excursions". One of the ships in their fleet the Sapphire Princess goes to Singapore where the Hill Street Building is located. It is rumored that there are a lot of ghost sightings.

What's Wrong with Miyuki Hatoyama's Alien Abduction Story?
Author: Robert Roy Britt
Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of Japan's Prime Minister-elect, Yukio Hatoyama, says she was abducted by aliens 20 years ago. Just for a night.
Two things make the story suspect. Well, okay, two things I'll choose to focus on here make the story suspect. In her words:
"While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus," she wrote in her book last year. "It was a very beautiful place, and it was very green."
