Ecotricity: No evidence yet for UFO attack on wind farm

15-01-09

Ecotricity has said it has still found no evidence to support claims that a UFO collided with one of its wind turbines at Conisholme in Lincolnshire.

The company has now started work to rebuild the damaged turbine, with all three 22 metre long blades and the central hub on the Enercon E48 turbine being replaced.

Cranes are on the Fen Farm site, with the replacement blades and hub already there, ready to be lifted into place.

Investigations into the causes for the damage – which saw one blade removed from the turbine and another bent badly out of shape – are still continuing.

The company said it was “narrowing down the options” and was closer to an understanding, but added: “we’re not there yet”.

It has suggested a number of likely culprits for the damage, including a possible collision. But it said lightning or some kind of material, design or maintenance failure was a more likely cause.

Vampire Revolution!

Whoa! It’s  at www.Vampirewebsite.net

Need I say more? These people think they are freaking VAMPIRES!

OK; I must say more. All kidding aside for a moment, really people, vampires are a fairy tale no matter how many times you’ve watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I don’t care if you sat through Bram Stoker’s Dracula, twice! Even if you read the book (and you should read the book.)..BOOKS! Those squarish things? You remember! They keep them at-the-library!

Anyway, vampires do not really exist, you are not a vampire, you do not have super human powers, you are not a special in any way other than the way all people are special.

I suppose it is possible that the vampire legends of old are based on some strange genetic dysfunction that gives people pale skin, makes them crave the flavor of fresh blood and makes them energetic at night.  But jeezers peezers!  Most teens go through this at some portion of their lives. Maybe they don’t all crave blood,   but bodily fluids do play a part in it!

Well! According to Vampire Revolution, Vampires are very real and oh-so emo!

Some criteria to determine if YOU might be a vampire according to the good … um people at Vampire Revolution.

1. Do you have unusually white skin? If yes then cook up one or two (depending on size) medium rare steaks (the best way to do this) if by the time your done enjoying the second one you have a new pinkish color through out your body that you havent had in awhile read no farther you are a real vampire. (humans cant digest blood let alone get color from it, real vampires do. takes a lot less human blood then animal blood to get the same effect but animal blood is way easier to get.) if you were white before and still are see a doctor.(odds are you aren’t a real vampire, your just malnourished, they can help)

I just love the scientific reasoning and logic behind this! I get pink with delight over all kinds of things! Hey! I must be a coffee and M&Ms candy Vampire! ( A candy Vampire! Heh!)

2.Have you been told by professionals that your lucky that you survived a few things that you survived with pretty much just a scratch or a cut?

Um… professional luck auditors? Psychologists perhaps? What are we talking about here?

3. Are you a naturally strong magic/energy user self taught, self realized?

Do you lie to yourself? Do you think Dungeons and Dragons is for real? That sounds like a big yes to me!

4. As a kid were you the strongest, smartest, or quickest kid in the class. and around 16 years of age maybe all 3?

This sounds like a good recipe for any Emo kid, like did the other kids pick on you when you informed them you were so special?

5. Did your dad disappear from your life while you were at a young age? (note 52% of vampires out of a large range of vampires have said yes to this, that includes people who believe they are real vampires however may not really be one.) Click for one theory on how this is vampire related, or Click here to give a response.

I’ll leave that one to the psychologists. I don’t think that they have done a statistical study on how many Vampires come from broken homes, shucks I don’t think they even have a psychological classification of a vampire other than Delusional disorder.

6. Do people often tell you that you look very young for your age, or that they would have never guessed how old you are?

All the time pal! Wow! I must be a Vampire or look younger than average (remember, half the people on Earth look younger than average.)

7. Are you extremely energetic at night time but seemingly around the time the sun comes up you get really tired?

Um..hello! When most people stay up all night they feel groggy in the morning, almost every time I do an all-nighter I feel tired in the morning …hello! Wait till you get to collage! That’s if you go to collage and that’s a BIG if right now!

8. Are you a slightly quicker healer than most, if not a much quicker healer?

Did you run a study? You and all your friends cut yourselves and compared the wounds each day to see who healed the fastest? (I actually believe you to be stupid enough to do that!)

9. Do you have an unusually high tolerance to alcohol and other poisons/toxins?

Alcohol is a poison? Hey now!

10. Do you tend to switch between very social and antisocial frequently?

No dickwad, I’m antisocial all the time!

11. Do you rarely get sick, or when you get sick does your body recover quicker than most people?

Yes!Vampire right?

12. Are your six senses more enhanced than most other peoples, i.e. vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste, and intuition?

Um, there are only five senses, intuition is not a sense! It’s a process of brain that combines input from the FIVE senses, memory and in certain individuals, uses their higher brain functions to “synthesize” new ideas or solutions to problems. I know that coz I’m smart!

13. Do you have extremely good vision in the dark, how many times has some one said its to dark they cant see while you were doing something like reading?

I’ll pretend I can’t see that butchered sentence.

14. Do you tend to not be surprised or scared by the typical sudden loud noise in a movie or things like that because you sensed it coming.

Gaaa! NO! Because I like MOST people have reflexive reactions to certain stimuli. Loud sudden sounds can evoke a fight-flight reaction which served our ancestors very well.

15. Do you tend to react to things like catching a falling object or other normally unexpected things at an almost psychic speed? (as if you were expecting it to happen).

Yes! I must be a Vampire!  Or I have good reflexes!

16. Do you tend to get a high from human blood, when drinking someones blood do you tend to find yourself being able to do something that they could do (that you couldn’t do) about 2 weeks after drinking it?

No, I tend to get grossed out by that. Unless it’s the blood of a virgin! Mmmmm!

17. Are you sensitive to light or the heat from it (ranging from getting a bad glare to burning very easily)?

I almost cannot relate to how stupid this is. Light and heat are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum, that’s like saying “do you get wet from water and the wetness of water?”

18. If while your skin is white from lack of enough blood in you, do you bleed quite noticeably less than a person normally should, or more likely not bleed at all?

Um, you learned that at which medical school?

19. Are your nails clear like glass, yet very strong?

What? What does that have to do with…..

20. Is you’r bedroom the coldest and darkest room in the house?

I bet yours is!

21. A legitimate Vampire is able to safely digest more than 600% of the daily recommended amount of iron(RDA is 18mg 600% of that is 108mg)This can be tested by use of iron pills bought at almost any nutrition store or grocery store. (always read the warnings on this site).

This whole site is a warning! It’s warning me that you’re a loony!

22. How often do you look at the person that almost bumped (or bumped in to you) in to you and think “you idiot, or people are so stupid” because they didn’t know that you were only a couple feet away from them, because you always know when someone is that close to you? (which when you think about it you only know because you can sense when someone is that close to you).

Ahhhhhhh! EVERYONE HAS HAD THAT EXPERIENCE!

23. Do you always feel a strong urge to travel.

Why Yes! There MUST be some supernatural, mysteries reason for it! I must be a werewolf… ur vampire or something.  I also like lattes! Is there a mystical reason behind that too? Hey I must be a chocolate and LATTE Vampire!

24. How often does something smell so strong that you can literaly taste it, whether its a good thing or a bad thing? (little note when most people say it smells so strong that they can taste it, only say it as a figure of speech. and the people that agree with you when you say it rarely can taste it, think i’m wrong ask them yourself).

Um…. Hello? Taste and smell are interrelated senses! You don’t cook much do you?

25. Can you hear a whisper from across a room?

If it’s loud enough. I watched the entire run of La Fem Nikita and they whispered all the time.

26. Is there a dark colored ring around the the iris (color part) of you’r eyes? All real vampires have this, however not everyone that has it is a real vampire.

Hu- what!  That makes almost no sense. That’s like saying, “all perverts have beards except those with beards who are not perverts.”

27. Is there a noticeablly different color surrounding the pupil? (Inner part of the color of your eyes.)

Um yes, my pupil is black and my iris is blue-gray. That must make me some kind of mystical super being! (Well I am the Odd Emperor!)

28. Do the words “come on outside, it’s a nice bright sunny day, and theres a lot of people out.” seem more like a bad thing than a good thing to you, as oppossed to the guy who said it to you, saying it with a big happy smile.

WTF? Do the words “this web page sucks and you suck for being a part of it evoke a reaction?

If so than my work here is done!

29. According to multiple news articles easily found online older adults cant here this, so far I haven’t found some one over 36 nonvamp that can, click to try to hear it. warning: if you can hear it, it will be loud. (always follow the warnings on this website) My reference for this yahoo homepage/news 6-21-06, and testing it on friends.

Yah sure, does it occur to you that kids can hear sound that adults can’t, I think read that on Wikipedia! And perhaps some medical journals, I’ll get a truck and bring them over to you!

30. Regardless of how normal you may consider yourself to be, do you tend to meet a lot of weird people that you quite often hit it off with relatively frequently? (keep in mind, normal is just a politically correct term for people that have no creativity. And definately is NOT some thing to be proud of calling yourself).

Huh what do you say? Normal people are not creative? I think you just insulted the VAST MAJORITY of people on the Earth.

31. Do you have a predator instinct that is so strong that, it makes most people seem to act more like herbivores than the omnivores that they consider themselves to be?

I like rare steak, does that count?

32. Does sunlight/bright light in general hurt your eyes and head, most cases to the point of a migraine?
(but you can still go out in it).

I and 6.7 billion other people have this problem.

33. Do electrical appliances generally tend to hate you?
(watches stop often, computers malfunction for no reason, microwaves start up by themselves, etc).

You could be a vampire or you just might be an emo klutz!

34. Are your dreams often extremely vivid and sometimes result in cases of deja vu?

I dreamed that I was going to review an extremely dorky page written by people with bad grammar and spelling who thought they were super human. Guess what! It came true!

35. Do people often find you very empathetic to how they feel?

Most of the time they feel butthurt!

36. Do people usually either trust you completely or not trust you at all?

Butthurt people don’t trust me. That would hurt my feelings except that I don’t give a fig about butthurt people.

37. When you will things to happen, do they usually happen?

Like with magic spells? Or like with driving? I willed myselfto make a sandwich and a sanwich appeared!

38. Does your mood have an obvious effect on the mood of others around you, only count this if it happens to the people that cant see you. (especially on babies and animals like cats).

I’ve read this question several times and I cannot make heads or tails of it. But, needless to say, many of these things apply to just about everyone.

Click Here To Find Places Where You Can Meet Others Like You. For those of you who want to try to feel important by poking holes in this list, Read this first and don’t waste your breath trying, because I know i’m right, this list only applies to blood vampires, and your belief isn’t required nor do I care if you disagree with me.

In other words, “I’m a freaking nutball who can’t (note the contraceptive apostrophe) quite come to grips that I’m not a unique and special snowflake so I’m going to cook up a fake syndrome based on some old stories about demons who drink blood and watching too many episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. SCREW YOU UN-BELIVER!!! ”

Technically the Real Vampire is still a human, however for sake of discussion let us think of viral Vampires as non-human or as the next step in human evolution. This is difficult to believe because many of the attributes of a Real Vampire are considered far more developed than those of a human. Strength, speed, enhanced mental and/or psychic abilities, the ability to digest human and animal blood more efficiently are but a few of the differences.

So-far I’m not on board any of this. If for the sake of argument there are a horde of superior beings out there who can outrun, out swim and outthink us mere mortals because they are further along in evolution, where are they? Certainly not the person who made this webpage! Perhaps Fred Phelps is a Vampire! He can certainly out swim anyone !

Do us all a favor and if you aren’t a real vampire (i.e. one of those people that thinks they are one do to reincarnation, and goes way to heavy on the Goth dressing style.) Don’t declare yourself as a real ampire because people like you are the ones that make people think that real vampires are just a few marbles short of a full bag.

Well, I going to go out on a limb here and say that just about anyone who thinks they are a real vampire are a few oars short of a Quadrireme. You can make all the blank statements you like about how you believe this and how dare you question that. There may very well be people who behave like vampires, drink blood and hang out in Goth clubs (there are people who behave in all sorts of disgusting ways,) that does not make them a vampire or an elf, Peter Pan, a messiah or anything else. If it makes you feel better about yourself to pretend to be a fantasy monster out of a TV show, heck I can deal with that. But don’t expect me to do much more than snicker and for gods sake! Run your shit through a spell checker!

Sheeze!

Sky’s the limit: Clinton Township man doesn’t let society confine dreams of creating flying machine

Charlie LeDuff / The Detroit News

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Macomb County moon man stood next to his forlorn flying saucer, which sat perched on milk crates in a weedy patch along Interstate 94. He railed against corporate conspirators and misinformed scientists.

According to the moon man, a nefarious cabal has blocked him from laying his hands on the necessary money to complete his perpetual flying machine a machine he says, that could reach Mars in a mere two weeks.

“Bankers promise calls they never return,” said Alfie Carrington, who when not working in his laboratory makes ends meet as a part-time construction worker. “The governor’s office told my mother no. And these so called scientific experts who have never seen it, say it won’t work.”

UFO claim over wind farm damage

From the BBC

UFO enthusiasts are claiming damage to a Lincolnshire wind farm turbine was caused by a mystery aircraft.

The turbine at Conisholme lost one 66ft (20m) blade and another was badly damaged in the early hours of Sunday.

County councillor for the area Robert Palmer said he had seen a “round, white light that seemed to be hovering”.

Ecotricity, which owns the site, said while investigations continued they were not ruling anything out – but the extent of damage was “unique”.

The turbine is one of 20 at the Conisholme site, which has been only been fully operational since April 2008. The broken blade has been recovered and is being examined.

Local ufologists said they had received many reports of activity in the area and had teams searching for clues.

To make one of these blades fall off, or to bend it, takes a lot
Dale Vince, Ecotricity

Mr Palmer said: “I actually saw a white light – a round, white light that seemed to be hovering.

“That is the only way I can explain it – it wasn’t a flare-like light – it was just round, white light with a slight red edge to it that seemed to be over the wind turbines.”

Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity, said the company was keeping an open mind about the incident.

“We don’t have an explanation at the moment as to what the cause was,” he said.

“We have been crawling all over it and have sent bits off for analysis to see if we can work out what caused it.

“Until we have some idea, some plausible explanation that it was not a UFO, I don’t think we should rule it out”.

‘Low-flying aircraft’

He added: “To make one of these blades fall off, or to bend it, takes a lot.”

Russ Kellett, from the Flying Saucer Bureau, said witnesses had told him of activity in the area.

“One saw what they at first thought was a low-flying aircraft on the Saturday evening and another heard a loud banging in the early hours of Sunday,” he said.

“This is the second most reports of activity we have ever had – I have had over 30 phone calls and emails.

“To hit two of the blades, any object must have been about 170ft long.”

The Ministry of Defence said it was not looking into the incident.

A spokesman said: “The MoD examines reports solely to establish whether UK airspace may have been compromised by hostile or unauthorised military activity.

“Unless there’s evidence of a potential threat, there’s no attempt to identify the nature of each sighting reported.”

Ecotricity said it hoped to have the turbine back in action within a week.

It’s all about….

Lord Rick of course! Who else? Oh yes and war news, Lord Rick declared his war of words with the Odd Emperor is officially over! he’s cool with the Odd Emperor. We don’t believe it yet, but we can wait and see. So …WAR OVER Yaaaaa!

On to other things!

Someone else is not so cool with Lord Rick,

Yes, We know that Lord Rick has had a very bad year in 2008. He had his very own “Grapes of Weed” adventure when he loaded all his personal belongings on a Rider truck, then went from Sunny Florida to Sunny California!

Dude! I could have told you those handbills extolling the virtues of California were fake!

Well Lord Rick is nobodies monkey’s uncle! He went to California expecting to be welcomed as the hero he believes he is. I imagine that Lord Rick thought they would hold a Mighty-Mouse kind of parade down main street, Lord Rick would be hoisted on the shoulders of his adoring public, or perhaps just seated on an ass with palm fronds flung in his path.

Well; being a Lord Rick plan this didn’t work out very well. The good denizens of bumfuck California didn’t appreciate yet another drugged-out fellow with no job, no job skills and no prospects living off of the fat of their fair city. Apparently they already had a bunch of people like that, who could have guessed?

WHAT? Even though Lord Rick has his own web page, lots of Yahoo groups, even an MSN group and podcasts on NowLive! Holy Shit! Lord Rick should have been an instant celebrity to those hicks in BF California, just like in Sunny Florida!

But he wasn’t!

Basically, Lord rick, god-man and Mullet Messiah went around threatening people and whining for handouts, getting pulled over by the cops, getting tossed out of hotels presumably for lack of payment, getting booted out of the town shelter for being (allegedly) a pain in the ass.  Then he even managed to piss off the local drug dealers so much, it seems one of them busted out all of the windows on his Subaru. He did take the opportunity to investigate the town park for a few weeks, that’s got to account for something!

Talk about ingrates! Those California hicks better learn who their messiah is! He might just up and leave!

And he did! After thoroughly investigating the city park, Lord Rick moved in with his in-laws who live in that bigger, brassiere version of BF California.

Las Vegas Nevada!

They put up with him for two solid months, then booted him out after he pissed off the family patriarch too much. How might you ask? By sitting on the Patriarch’s computer all day, eating all of his food, taking one-hour-showers then roaring up and down their quiet Vegas street in his shitty Subaru. Then Lord Rick managed to pick fight with the old geezer, and LOST! (To a 60 year old diabetic.) . How dare the old fart tell Lord Rick that he needs to stop sitting on his ass all day, palm fronds or no!  How ungrateful is that! They should have been HONORED to to have Lord Rick blessing in their fair home. Someday a brass marker will be affixed to the side of the house reading “Lord Rick once mooched here!”

So Lord Rick found himself investigating the streets again, but being a resourceful Ghost Buster, he found some suckers some friends to be his roommates in their home for a few months. (another brass marker…cripes!)  Here Lord Rick picks up his life such as it is and does his podcast, pissing off so many more people!  And those Wisemen! And that fake Craigslist poster, and the people on Deggi5 and My Space and NowLive and the Hot Saucers and UER and – and that Odd Empire, lions and tigers and bears…oh my!

In fact! One fellow on NowLive just announced that he’d had quite enough of Lord Rick thank-you–very–little and he was going to do a special on him.

Oh how the LoLcano erupts!  Comes now the Rickpocalypse!

Lord Rick had this to say about the upcoming show “All About Lord Rick…”

you got bobbi disrespecting ME. There doesnt take much brains to sit at a pc and play music the whole night he asked for it I delivered it. See the funny thing is the reason why you would mock me on snow mountain is because you are not man enough to climb that mountain yourself from the angle I did so wtf ever. You have no gratitude for the fact that I advertised your show TWICE now back to back.  People dont need to listen to you bash my expeditions I bash MY OWN expeditions on my show thats way better then it coming from someone who is drunk playing the beach boys slurring. You bring drama ill admit that but cockbobber can handle his own quarrel with me by calling in my show rather then being a sour puss over it plain and simple.

Yah, yah…  sure-sure fine Lord Rick…

UFOs: A New Year And Renewed Hope

Dedicated To Glen Dennis & Miriam Bush

And the Dumbest Debunker Of The Year Award goes to:
Burien Dunning, for his article “Betty And Barney Hill The Original Abduction”, complete with outright lies and distortions. Dunning has done it. I quote:
“Innumerable books(3) and movies(1)have been made about the Betty and Barney Hill abduction, you almost never hear a critical treatment of the them”.
You’re a funny guy, Brainless Brian.
Sometimes debunkers’ statements are so full of c**p no response is really necessary.
Thanks to Stan Friedman, for his Dec. 2008 article in MUFON Journal.


I just read a wonderful article by Anthony Bragalia, which turns out to be a great detective story about famous Roswell witnesses:
http://ufor.blogspot.com/2008/12/roswell-undertakers-secret-revealed-by.htmlabout

Glen Dennis, former Roswell mortician, was a primary witness to the Roswell crash ET connection. Decades ago, Glen Dennis related to ufologist Stan Friedman how he was called by Roswell Airbase.

Military officials at Roswell questioned Dennis about child-sized coffins and other odd things. Later that night, they called him back to the base. Not unusual, since he was at times requested by officials at the base to do mortuary service and even pick up injured soldiers.

That night, Dennis was told to pick up a wounded soldier and deliver him to the base hospital. As he drops the soldier off, Davis wanders inside the hospital and runs into a friend, a nurse. The nurse tells Dennis to get the hell out of there. Then he’s immediately escorted to his car by the military.

Next day, Dennis gets together socially with the nurse, who is very frightened and upset as she describes being in a surgery room with small entities that look child-sized, but have large heads and eyes that are not right. The nurse tells Davis she realized these are beings from outer space.

Salem’s Witch House slams the door on ghost hunters

Salem’s Witch House slams the door on ghost hunters

By Tom Dalton
Staff writer

SALEM — This old city, some say, is locked in an eternal wrestling match with itself. Is this the historic seaport of art and culture, or the “Witch City” of psychics and ghost tours?

The Park and Recreation Commission ventured into that quicksand this week when it denied a request by a group of paranormal investigators from Rhode Island to search for ghosts in the Witch House, the former home of Jonathan Corwin, an infamous judge during the Witch Trials of 1692.

In essence, a majority of the board — only three of the five members were present — said it would be in bad taste to allow ghost hunters to go inside an historic, 17th-century house that is tied to such an important and tragic event.

“We have to have respect for the gravity of the injustice that occurred in 1692,” member Chris Burke said.

After the rejection, Spirit Finders Paranormal Investigators said they were “severely disappointed.”

They asked questions that others have asked: How could a city that licenses psychics, sends its children to Witchcraft Heights School and sells official Salem blood during Halloween turn down a “scientific” investigation of one of its most historic witch properties?

Where does Salem draw the line?

In an interview after the meeting, there was even a suggestion that the city is being hypocritical for calling this 9 North St. property the “Witch House.”

“Then don’t call it the Witch House anymore,” said Eric Fraize, the self-proclaimed “Witch King of Salem,” who represented the paranormal group at the meeting. “Call it the ‘Jonathan Corwin House.’ You can’t have it both ways. …

“If they wanted to have respect, they’d take the witch off the police cars. … They’d stop calling it ‘The Witch City,’ and Haunted Happenings would shut down.”

Spirit Finders was certainly caught off guard by the board’s decision.

After all, only a few weeks ago, they got a warm welcome when they first presented the idea to the board.

In fact, Chairman James Shea, who was absent this week, seemed downright enthusiastic back then.

“I think it could help sell tickets,” said Shea, who knows something about selling tickets. His family runs the Salem Wax Museum.

On Tuesday night, Fraize tried to persuade a board that did not include Shea that news of a ghost hunt could only boost attendance at a city tourist attraction that does not draw big crowds.

“It would generate more revenue,” he said. “I’m not sure why anybody would say no to money.”

A similar spirit search proved to be good business for the Hawthorne Hotel, which was visited by the reality TV show “Ghost Hunters” more than a year ago.

“When people call to make reservations, we ask how they heard about the hotel,” said Juli Lederhaus, general manager of the Hawthorne. “Lots of people tell us they saw us on ‘Ghost Hunters.'”

(For the record, “Ghost Hunters” failed to find any ghosts in the Hawthorne Hotel).

While not as successful as the Salem Witch Museum, the Witch House is not exactly a loser. It made a profit of $175,000 this year.

“We always like a bigger pie, but it’s certainly not insignificant,” said Commissioner Laura Swanson.

Board member Maryann Curtin was strongly opposed to opening their doors to a group armed with night-vision camcorders, electromagnetic-force readers and tape recorders.

“I don’t see what benefit the city would get from people finding spirits there,” she said.

Swanson said she feared that this paranormal activity “has the possibility to overshadow or maybe distract from the historic significance we look to promote.”

Since news reports first appeared of Spirit Finders, the board said it has been contacted by two other paranormal groups. If they approve one ghost hunt, one member asked, how can they turn down others?

The board also said it investigated references from Spirit Finders and found that some of the historic properties had mixed experiences.

In his pitch to the board, Fraize said that Spirit Finders is a nonprofit group interested only in scientific inquiry. He said he believes so much in this group that he allowed them to conduct a paranormal investigation of his own home.

“Interestingly enough,” he said, “they found nothing.”

Meet the man eager to get to the bottom of the ghost mysteries

Published Date: 17 December 2008

WHILE visiting a friend in hospital, a woman suddenly finds herself transported to a beautiful garden where she is surrounded by friendly people and the sound of happy laughter, in an apparent near-death experience.

A poltergeist takes up residence in a suburban home terrifying the family who move in there, while a man foresees the mortal danger facing his young son just in time to avert a terrible accident.

It all sounds like the stuff of Hollywood psychological horror films – the kind of thing most of us would probably scoff at if we were told it was happening next door.

But these stories do not come from the imagination of a fiction writer, they are real cases which are being investigated at Edinburgh University.

Each of these stories has been told, perfectly sincerely, to one researcher based at the famous Koestler Parapsychology Institute in recent months, by people who you would otherwise regard as absolutely “normal”, sane and healthy.

There, French clinical psychologist Thomas Rabeyron, 27, is undertaking a year’s research attempting to trace the roots of paranormal experiences.
