I had the pleasure of meeting Dan Aykroyd this past weekend at a signing event for his Crystal Head Vodka and Wines.  He was a little late to the event, but gracious enough to stay long and make sure everyone’s bottles were signed.  The Crystal Head Vodka bottle is clear and replicates a human skull.  I knew about Dan’s interest in the paranormal from Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal, but I didn’t realize that so much thought went into his Crystal Head Skull brand.  Check it out:

It’s pretty cool.

This experiment seems anything but scientific.  If I’m to read this correctly, 7,000 random people were selected to take place in an experiment to validate a premise: That remote viewing is B.S.  It very well might be, but I have no idea.  And guess what? After asking 7,000 nobodies to guess where I am, I would still have no idea.  And what of the people that guess correctly?  Are they psychic?  Of the 7,000, 38% believe in remote viewing, while 16% believe they have the actual ability.  In one instance, 15% guessed correctly, pretty close to the percentage of people that believe they are remote viewers.

Maybe my experiement will be more conclusive.  Out of 2 people that read this blog, where am I right now?

Finally!

After the iPhone EMF and iPhone Ghost Buddy, Nintendo is in on the action with A Different Game’s Ghostwire. As a “Portal to the astral plane,” this Nintendo DS game will allow you to hunt ghosts and help find them peace.

If only it were that easy.  Although bringing the screen, camera, and stylus togother in harmony to hunt video game ghosts is a novel idea.

Pioneering paranormal investigator Hans Holzer has died at his home in New York City on April, 26 2009.  Mr. Holzer was 89.

Hans Holzer’s books populate the occult section at many book sellers, and to me, should be considered one of the forefathers of paranormal investigations.  While many have come before him, Mr. Holzer pioneered modern paranormal investigation.
