I thought I would share some of my scariest experiences as a ghost hunter. It seems

that almost all of the people who interview us for newspapers and magazine articles
always want to know about our scariest experience. In real life, ghost hunters seldom
have scary experiences unlike the ghost hunting shows on television scripted with
faked ghost activities to generate good ratings. In my case, I have only had three
scary experiences in nineteen years. Allow me to relate one of them at this time...

Hugo Chavez
A brief bio...

Hugo Chavez was born on 28th July 1954, the 28th July is known by astro-
logical occultists since ancient times as "the day of the height of the sun"
and this day has a very special meaning, the Old Testament in Deuteronomy
18-10 forbids "an observer of the times", this tells us that every single day
in the year has its own meaning and the number of the date can give impor-
tant information, many dismiss this type of information today, but Winston
Churchill in WW II had teams of people working on similar material to
choose the most important dates in the war, as indeed have several US
presidents in recent times...

Instead, he worked on cleaning up the many pollutants found in drinking
water and also spent the money on social programmes, state run food mar-
kets, cash incentives for poor families, free heath clinics and education. He
refused the lure of spectacular construction projects that adorn the oil rich
states of the Middle East and the offers of a palace and secret foreign bank
accounts; instead he gave the wealth to the people. Heads of State who
refuse foreign multinational and banking control are regularly demonised;
as Hillary Clinton said "Chavez will play by our rules or will not play at all".

Consequently, this was his main fear that America would attack, rob and
plunder Venezuala as they did in Iraq, so Chavez took the number of mili-
tary trained men from 50,000 to 200,000. As Oscar Ameringer said; "Politics
is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from
the rich, by promising to protect each from the other." Chavez was said to
speak both to and for to all Venezuelans, using what was said by experts to
be a mixture of socialism and Marxism, but with an unusual face of democ-

May 4, 5 - Eta Aquarids Meteor Shower. The Eta Aquarids is an above average shower, capable of producing up to 60 meteors per hour
at its peak. Most of the activity is seen in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, the rate can reach about 30 meteors
per hour. It is produced by dust particles left behind by comet Halley, which has known and observed since ancient times. The shower
runs annually from April 19 to May 28. It peaks this year on the night of May 4 and the morning of the

May 5. The second quarter moon will block out some of the less bright meteors this year but you should still be able to see quite a few
good ones if you are patient. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Aquar-
ius, but can appear anywhere in the sky.

May 10 - New Moon. The Moon will be directly between the Earth and the Sun and will not be visible from Earth. This phase occurs at
00:28 UTC. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight
to interfere.

May 10 - Annular Solar Eclipse. An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is too far away from the Earth to completely cover the
Sun. This results in a ring of light around the darkened Moon. The Sun's corona is not visible during an annular eclipse. The path of the
eclipse will begin in western Australia and move east across the central Pacific Ocean.)

May 25 - Full Moon. The Moon will be directly opposite the Earth from the Sun and will be fully illuminated as seen from Earth. This
phase occurs at 04:25 UTC. This phase occurs at 11:09 UTC. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full
Flower Moon because this was the time of year when spring flowers appeared in abundance. This moon has also been known as the
Full Corn Planting Moon and the Milk Moon.

May 25 - Penumbral Lunar Eclipse. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's partial shadow, or pe-
numbra. During this type of eclipse the Moon will darken slightly but not completely. The eclipse will be visible throughout most of
North America, South America, western Europe, and western Africa.

May 28 - Conjunction of Venus and Jupiter. Conjunctions are rare events where two or more objects will appear extremely close to-
gether in the night sky. The two bright planets will be within 1 degree of each other in the evening sky. The planet Mercury will also will

By Paul Dale Roberts

THE BIRTH OF THE DEMON WARRIOR

A lot of people have asked me how I got into house blessings and baptisms. Believe me when I tell
you, I sort of accidentally stepped into these procedures of helping out our clients harassed by
paranormal events'. I always had a curious nature and when I saw a book that my Catholic priest
had on conducting house blessings back in 1984, I wanted to read this book. The priest looked at me
with an odd look and wondered why I wanted to read this book. My only answer is that I was
‘curious’. Never did I know that one day I would become a paranormal investigator and that I would
conduct my own modified house blessings. It’s almost like angels were playing on a Cosmic
Chessboard and setting things in motion for me to become a successful paranormal investigator that
is able to cleanse a home of unwanted spirit activity, or demonic activity for that matter.
When I conducted my first house blessing, it was the birth of the Demon Warrior. I set out a goal to
vanquish demonic activity out of my client’s lives...

UFO and Flying Saucer UFO Encounters
By Joy Healey

The UFO story originated not long after June 24, 1947, when many
newspapers in the USA published the first sighting of the flying saucer.
The story told how nine very bright, disk-shaped objects were seen by
Kenneth Arnold, a Boise, Idaho, businessman, while he was flying his
private plane near Mount Rainier, in the state of Washington.
With journalistic license, reporters converted Arnold's description of the
individual motion of each of the objects, "like a saucer skipping across
water", into "flying saucer," a name for the objects themselves...

Billion Dollar UFO / ET Disclosure
By Ed Komarek

From April 29, 2013 to May 3, 2013 researchers, activists, political leaders,
and former members of military services and government agencies represent-
ing ten countries gave testimony in Washington, DC to six former members of
the United States Congress. After hearing this testimony these members issue
the following statement:

Whereas: given the unfolding scientific understanding of the number of po-

tentially life supporting planets within Earth's home galaxy, it would be the
height of arrogance to assert that humans are the only sentient beings within
that galaxy;

Whereas: given that credible witnesses have brought forth overwhelming scientific evidence documenting the
current presence of unidentified and unexplained aerial craft that many believe to reflect an extraterrestrial
intelligence;

And Whereas: given the enormous global implications if these craft are, indeed, of extraterrestrial origin,
such an issue is a matter for the General Assembly of the United Nations;

Therefore, we the undersigned request the Citizen Hearing Foundation use its offices to organize interested
parties and raise the funds necessary to pursue a global campaign to convince one or more nations to pro-
pose a resolution within the General Assembly calling for United Nations sponsorship of a world conference
addressing the possible evidence for an extraterrestrial presence engaging this planet.

We the undersigned pledge our support for this effort.

 Title: Paranormal Anglesey
Author: Bunty Austin
Publisher: Amberley Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-84868-315-0
Price: £12.99

Yet another area of the UK is mined for its store of paranormal tales. Based on the information so far obtained there must be
nowhere in the UK and by extension the entire world that does not have its share of ghostly tales, and as one might expect
Anglesey is no exception. This latest work of 27 chapters from researcher Bunty Austin succeeds in maintaining her knack of
making these accounts of the supernatural immensely readable, yet still able to raise a frisson of unease in the reader.

Reading this book is like enjoying a friendly chat with the author rather than a presentation of cold facts (a fault of many books
of this kind) and this make the information in the many tales (some historic, some modern) really stand out. It’s rather like
taking a bite from chilli, at first all is apparently agreeable then the fire hits you and so it is with this book; at first the tales seem
relatively innocuous then the implications of what has been said strike home.

While all of the chapters are entertaining a few really stand out, ‘The Ghost in the Coal Hole’ and ‘This is My House’ are two and
‘Amlwch Lockup’ is another, but perhaps the most poignant and touching is the tale of Megan. This was a truly unfortunate girl
taken as plaything by Cromwell’s Roundheads during the Civil War; she was never seen alive again. This book is a first class read
for anyone interested in the uncanny side of Anglesey and well worth its cover price…

Title: The Heretics: Adventures With the Enemies of Science

Author: Will Storr
Pubisher: Picador
ISBN: 978-1-4472-3168-4
Price: £16.99 (Hardback)

Thus book is, in its way, one of the most encouraging and open minded works I have ever read; it’s certainly one of the very few
in recent months that I, literally, could not put down. This was not the sly (and possibly ill judged) debunking of Jon Ronson or
the false naivety of Louis Theroux, it was encouraging and entertaining to see someone take an unbiased look at the legions of
eccentric (although some might say determinedly eccentric) beliefs in various causes such as alien abduction, creationism, reli-
gious fundamentalism, holocaust deniers and past life regressionists etc and come away with possible explanations that might,
in some cases, give a genuine indication that some of these beliefs might actually be more than just ‘beliefs’.

The first possibility lies in the workings of the human mind itself: chief among these is that your mind is a gifted liar and will go
to incredible lengths to interpret, project, create and defend its own version of reality. Next are the literally staggering conse-
quences and implications of the placebo effect, a chapter that is worth the purchase price on its own. While this effect is not
new, it seems as if the human body has the capacity to heal itself by suggestion alone; something that may well explain various
miracles attributed to saints or the events at Lourdes etc.

What is even more jaw-dropping is research suggesting that the unspoken thoughts of a doctor who prescribes medicine may
have an effect on how it performs. In other words our minds can and do affect the nature of reality, this truly is the stuff of
magick.

Chapter ten concerns the false memory syndrome as it manifests in, e.g. Satanic ritual abuse; this chapter is by turns infuriating, gut churning and heartbreak-
ing, and yet, at its core, lies the possibility that something really did happen. Another satisfying chapter involves a conversation with the arch debunker James
Randi and shows him to be an aggressive bully more concerned by promoting his own rationalism than admit the truth. Although the avowed sceptics will fail
to see the obvious truths in the book, overall it is well researched, extremely satisfying and well worth a read...

The author of this book, Brian P Levak, is a professor of history at The University of Texas in Austin and this shows in how the
work is carefully and methodically set out. Wisely he takes no sides in whether or not demonic possession is real, imagined, a
form of mental illness or the result of religious hysteria, rather, he presents a whole range of excellent cases and examples span-
ning the centuries and allows the reader to make their own judgement. To be sure, if some of the accounts are genuine, then
those apparently possessed were able to regurgitate and vomit out all sorts of bizarre and unlikely objects ranging from pins
and glass to gallons of liquid.

Also mentioned are the classic signs of possession such as levitation, speaking in languages of which the person should have no
knowledge, immense strength and the vehement rejection of traditional holy emblems. Although the book is set mainly during
the tribulations of the 16th an 17th centuries, (the classic case on the nuns at Loudon and the Salem Witch trails are good exam-
ples) it also draws on occurrences before this and, in the opposite direction, relatively modern examples such as the back story
to ‘The Exorcist’.

What makes this book different is that Prof Levak tries to show that the possession seem to follow the mores and beliefs of the
religion they belonged to and an only be understood in the context. Perhaps it is as well that the book is written in a calm and
scholarly manner because much of what is discussed is truly horrifying. This book is an important addition to the can of litera-
ture concerning demonic possession and is an absolutely fascinating read...

"The topic of alien abduction is complex and controversial. This book comes closer than others, bringing clarity to the haze of
controversy." --Stanton T. Friedman, nuclear physicist, author of Flying Saucers and Science. "Highly respected UFO abduction
scholars Marden and Stoner have accomplished something rare and remarkable with The Alien Abduction Files, namely, an
opportunity for readers to enter into the heart of what may well be the greatest mystery and challenge facing humanity today."
Peter Robbins, co-author of the British best-seller Left at East Gate and long-time assistant to pioneer UFO abduction re-
searcher Budd Hopkins. Why would two women separated by thousands of miles share a common thread involving alien abduc-
tion? Both cases are supported by multiple witnesses and have substantial evidence. Both women experienced missing time
while driving with a companion, and were later taken from their homes. Both have been unwilling participants in ongoing ex-
perimental procedures that appear to follow family genetic lines. Both witnesses have given detailed descriptions of the crafts'
interiors and technology, medical procedures, messages from the visitors, and the types of ETs they have encountered, includ-
ing their society's hierarchical structure. Even more startling, both have independently described finding themselves on identi-
cal huge craft, within the same timeframe.

Kathleen Marden and Denise Stoner have had a good stab at bringing the Alien Abduction phenomenon to light. Their recent
book was also forwarded by the prolific UFO lecturer and researcher Stanton T. Friedman. The book covers numerous startling
cases of Alien Abduction. A very well wrote book that certainly kept my interest. Fascinating cases of alien contact and UFO
sightings. Well worth belonging in your collection...

Title: ‘Andromeda’
Genre: Sci/Fi, Adventure
Main cast: Kevin Sorbo, Lexa Doig, Lisa Ryder, Keith Hamilton Cobb
Details: Complete Season 1
Format: DVD and Blu-Ray

This Canadian made Sci/Fi adventure series (this is series one, five were eventually made) is the brainchild of Gene Rodden-
berry who also created the iconic and long running Star Trek, something that should count it is favour. It’s set thousands of
years in the future when, following a battle onboard his starship, the captain (Dylan Hunt played by Kevin Sorbo) has to jettison
his crew and both he and the sentient ship ‘Andromeda Ascendant’ are caught in the event horizon of a black hole and the ship
is suspended in time for three hundred years. The ship (and really nifty machine it is too) is retrieved by a passing salvage ship
and, on awakening, captain Hunt realises that the relative peace that formerly existed has now changed to a state of near con-
tinual war.

He manages to persuade the crew of the salvage ship that a peaceful civilisation is worth restoring so they set off to right the
various wrongs that have occurred. We encounter various disparate groups such as ‘The Templars’, ‘The Genites’ and ‘The Col-
lectors’ who, although having their own agendas are mainly on the side of the good guys, but ranged against them are
(amongst others) ‘The Ogami’ and ‘The Bokor’ who are pretty violent, anti-social and the natural foes of our heroic freedom
fighters. The series is interesting for various reasons, not least the method by which the ship traverses the universe, it uses
‘slipstreams’ that allow it to travel faster that the speed of light and no, I have no idea how they work. The CGI is a bit basic, but
for the most part works well. Anyway, the series deservedly achieved various genre awards during its five year run and if sci/fi
alien blasting is your thing then this ideal for you…

Title: Fringe Series 5

Genre: Sci/Fi, adventure
Distributor: Warner Home Video
Main Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, Jasika Nicole and John Noble
Format: DVD and Blue-Ray
Price: £28.00 on Amazon

This is this final part of an excellent five part series created by J. J. Abrams of ‘Lost’ and the rebooted ‘Star Trek’ fame, telling of
the Earth in 2036 subdued by a race of ‘Observers’ originating from a possible future Earth in the 27th century laid waste by
pollution. Although much of the back story has been explained in the previous four series, it is still possible to enjoy each of the
13 episodes in their own right as most of the background becomes apparent (or at least guessable) after watching a couple of
episodes. Although ideal, to explain all the why’s and wherefores would take too long, but it involves parallel universes, time
travel, some hard core bad guys and some really nifty gadgets. There is also something called the ‘ambering process’, which is
something akin to what happened to Harrison Ford at the end of the second Star Wars film (if that helps) and is absolutely nec-
essary to preserve and protect items and artefacts from the bad guys. The series, which has some decent production values,
also contains resonances with The Matrix (the ‘Observers’ are very similar to the minions despatched by the Matrix to subdue
any rebellion) and there is even a nod to ‘The Time Machine’ where a library of humanities history is kept by a group dedicated
to that purpose: but in this case the discs are substituted for transparent cubes. Basically the plot concerns a group of resis-
tance fighters lead by a scientist trying to obtain a series of messages telling how to destroy/remove the ‘Observers’ (who are
telepathic and can teleport). The Observers are trying to convert the atmosphere using carbon monoxide generators to repli-
cate the atmosphere of their own universe and are assisted by a dastardly, Quisling organisation called ‘The Loyalists’. Each
episode takes the viewer through the many hazards faced by the resistance fighters trying to locate these messages and each
segment is recorded on tapes located in various parts of the country.

The ending is very satisfactory and for anyone who has followed the series on TV this is an excellent way to round things off, and for anyone who did not see it
on TV the material is engrossing enough to make the viewer seek out the episodes in previous series to enjoy; well worth a look...

 Bad UFOs: Skepticism, UFOs, and the Universe
by Robert Sheaffer

Reflections on UFOs, skepticism, and practically anything else by Robert Sheaffer, author of "UFO Sightings," and "Psychic Vibrations" (book, plus column in The
Skeptical Inquirer).

Greer's "Sirius" Documentary - no "Bombshell," just Nonstop UFO Claims.

I had previously written about the forthcoming 'blockbuster' UFO documentary movie Sirius, produced by CSETI's Dr. Steven
Greer, which promised Free Energy, and a Dead Alien. OK, so I wasted $10 to watch Greer's UFO documentary film Sirius on-
line on the night of its Word Premiere in Hollywood. I watched it so you won't have to. First there was the "Red Carpet Cover-
age" of the Premiere in real-time before the movie, which apparently is no longer available. It was mostly hoopla, with a
strong anti-capitalist tone. The first ten minutes or so of the movie were included. As the film opens, we see Greer going into a
college auditorium in Santa Monica, the audience being checked with metal detectors for weapons. "Most people don't know
what a Dead Man Trigger is." Very few people need one. But Greer has one - if the Conspiracy rubs him out, lots of sensitive
documents get sent out to influential people. Excuse me while I barf - If Greer actually had any documents as hot as all that,
he would have given them to the press long ago. Most of what we see after that comes in no particular order. We are given
UFO cases and UFO witnesses in a popcorn sort of manner, no sooner does one bounce up than it falls back and another takes
its place. There is no time (or need) for exposition, or analysis. Every case, and every claim, is apparently completely solid and
needs no further explanation or proof. The "organization" of the film was such that one could have taken almost any segment
of it, and switched it with any other, and the change would scarcely be noticed. Some things that we are shown, for the most
part quite briefly, include, in no particular order:

President Eisenhower's warning about the Military-Industrial Complex / Dr. Oppenheimer saying, "we have done this (nukes) before." / ancient aliens /
Federal reserve conspiracies / Oil company conspiracies / Laurance Rockefeller saying 'disclosure' will change everything / MJ-12 Government UFO
coverup conspiracy / STS-48 UFO video / Dr. Lynne Kitei and the Phoenix Lights, which were not military flares / "free energy" claimants, including T.
Townsend Brown, Tom Valone, Tom Bearden, Stanley Meyer, John Searl, Eugene Mallove, John Havrilla. Anti-gravity and electro-gravitics claims are made. /
automobiles that can run on water / Conspiracies involving the Masons, and the Bohemian Grove .

These supposed "inventors," plus the ET technology, offers us unlimited Free Energy, but a con-
spiracy by those Greer calls the "Petro-fascists" keeps us using coal, oil, and nuclear power. Part of
the Conspiracy is to keep us distracted by other things. Even Honey Boo-Boo is depicted as part of
the Conspiracy to keep us distracted from ET truths. The film mentions Greer's May, 2001 Disclo-
sure Project press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Despite its supposedly
impressive list of yarn-spinners (many of whom are returning for the forthcoming Citizens Hearing
on UFO Disclosure next week), after a few titilating news stories it mostly fell flat with the news
media. But an excuse for this was given: just four months later, the attacks of September 11 re-
sulted in wall-to-wall news coverage, leaving reporters with a mere four months to investigate
Greer's ET bombshells. The film does give us some valuable insight into Greer's personality. He
mentions having a Near Death experience during an illness when he was seventeen, and describes
how he felt a "oneness" not only with the earth, but with the entire universe.

Later in the film he said that it is the memory of that NDE that keeps him moving forward in his investigations. I had previously been wondering if Greer is sin-
cere in what he says, or just a huckster who has found a way to make a lot of money off UFO believers. After seeing Sirius I would say that Greer is quite sincere
in what he says, and the money aspects comes from effectively taking leadership of an existing group of people who largely think as he does. I found interesting
the part about CSETI's CE5 training session, "human-initiated contact," which involves, among other things, meditation and remote viewing. They go into the
desert or some other remote place, and shine a flashlight or laser at any light they see in the sky. If it appears to flicker back, that counts as an instance of inter-
stellar communication. Many of the ET craft are "trans-dimensional," and thus are not visible to the human eye. However, they can be seen using night-vision
equipment, which apparently has the capability to make trans-dimensional things visible. I once spoke with a fellow at a UFO meeting who had been through
Greer's "training," and he was very impressed by it. He explained that, at first, he could not see any of the ET craft that Greer was talking about. But as the train-
ing progressed, he learned how to perceive them. One of the longest expositions of a UFO claim is that of the Big Sur missile-zapping UFO in 1964, as told by Bob
Jacobs. This case has been totally picked apart by Kingston George in the Skeptical Inquirer. "We have acquired an EBE!", boasts one of Greer's CSETI colleagues,
and the analysis of this little guy - just six inches long - is the principal "news hook" for the film. We are told that this little body was dug up in the Atacamba
Desert in Chile, and ended up in Barcelona, Spain. 3D scans reveal its internal organs, apparently very human-like. Now here is the biggest "bombshell" that the
film has: DNA from this creature has been analyzed by Dr. Garry P. Nolan of the Stanford University Medical School. You can read his conclusions here:

Morphologic features include that the specimen has only 10 ribs, mild mid face hypoplasia, and shows abnormalities of the skull. The observed abnormalities do
not fall into any standard or rare classification of known human pediatric disorders. As represented by a specialist in pediatric human bone and growth disorders
(see attached report), the 6 inch specimen is a human that was likely 6-8 years of age at the time of death (age based on epiphyseal plate X-Ray density stan-
dards). X-Ray imaging and CT scan results confirmed the specimen is biological and is not a non-human primate. The specimen was concluded by the medical
specialist to be a human child with an apparently severe form of dwarfism and other anomalies... Reconstruction of the mitochondrial DNA sequence and analy-
sis shows an allele frequency consistent with a B2 haplotype group found on the west coast of South America, supporting the claimed origination of the speci-
men from the Atacama Desert region of Chile. Sequence analysis definitively rules out the specimen as an example of a New World primate. So, supposedly the
little critter is a human child, at least 6 years old, and only six inches long. This sounds almost as implausible as an ET. I am wondering what precautions have
been taken against deliberate DNA contamination? In the case of the Metepec, Mexico humanoid that was promoted by Jaime Maussan, the hoaxer Urso Mo-
reno Ruiz confessed, "It’s just the corpse of a skinned squirrel-monkey. I took its ears out and involved it with all the hair and fluids of all animals I could find,
then I dried it. All samples they take of it will come out as being of different animals." Is is possible that something similar has happened with the Atacama hu-
manoid? In the end, no halfway intelligent person will be swayed by this film. The only people who will be impressed will be those who breathlessly await each
new episode of Ancient Aliens on the History Channel...

Council gives away "haunted" manor.
By Jess Bown.

Portsmouth City Council has been forced to give away a £375,000 manor house after failing to attract a buyer due to rumours of ghosts and other monstrous
sightings. The Grade II listed manor, which is thought to be the oldest house in Portsmouth and was mentioned in the 1086 Doomsday Book, is said to house
a choir of nuns.

The spirits of whispering children and Sir Roderick of Porchester, who was murdered outside the manor in the middle ages, are said to be among the ghosts
haunting the property. And if their aim was to prevent new people moving in, it would seem that they have succeeded - for the time being at least. After fail-
ing to sell at auction with a reserve price of £375,000, Wymering Manor in Portsmouth, Hants, has now been donated to the Wymering Manor Trust, along
with a £30,000 grant for repair work.

The group will attempt to restore the house to its former glory before opening it as a tourist attraction - a project that is expected to cost some £500,000.
Portsmouth City Council bought the property in the 1960's and leased it to the Youth Hostel Association until 2006. According to the Daily Mail newspaper, it
was then sold to a private organisation after the cost of the upkeep became too much for the council. The purchasers intended to restore the manor and turn
it into a hotel and function rooms, trading on the historic and paranormal links after a visit by the Most Haunted Live television programme in May 2006.

However, the development never took place and it was returned to the council, which has now been forced to give it away due to a lack of interest from seri-
ous buyers. Jeremy Lamb, a chartered surveyor who tried to sell the property in 2010, told the Daily Telegraph: "It's certainly a unique house.”Although they
patrol it on a 24-hour basis because it attracts lots of people who are intrigued by its levels of paranormal activity, they refuse to work alone there at night.”
Other properties that have failed to sell due to rumours of haunting include a former town house in Derby, which is said to house a total of 14 ghosts.

Tokyo denies ghost fears keeping PM out of official residence.

The Japanese cabinet has formally denied months-long rumours that prime minister Shinzo Abe has not moved into his official residence over fears the man-
sion is haunted. The conservative leader took office in December but has yet to move into the 11-room brick home in central Tokyo. According to local media,
it is the longest holdout among any of his predecessors. Several former prime ministers have reported experiencing unusual phenomena at the mansion,
which was centre-stage for two failed but bloody coups in the 1930s.

Former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi once told reporters he had never encountered any ghosts, despite wanting to see them. Some first ladies have re-
fused to live in the mansion over fears its was inhabited by spirits. An opposition politician asked about the presence of ghosts in the prime minister's resi-
dence in a letter to Mr Abe's cabinet. "There are rumours that the official residence
is haunted by ghosts. Is it true?" the politician wrote.

"Does prime minister Abe refuse to move to the official residence because of the BUMPS IN
rumours?" He said the decision could delay the prime minister's response time
in emergencies because the residence is next door to his executive office.
THE NIGHT
Mr Abe's cabinet issued a terse written statement in response, saying:
"We do not assent to what was asked."

In May 1932, a revolt by naval officers ended in the murder of then-prime

minister Tsuyoshi Inukai and the plotters' surrender to military police.
Several years later in 1936, about 1,400 rebel troops killed
several political leaders and seized the heart of Tokyo's
government district including the official residence for
four days.

 An Insight into Dowsing
by Sophie Chamberlain

It has been rumoured that the art of Dowsing has had

its practical applications throughout the years. Ameri-
can soldiers are said to have used Dowsing Rods to
locate secret hidden Japanese underground bunkers
and dwellings during the Vietnam War. Also, it is
known that the Australian natives used numerous
methods of dowsing to locate underground water
springs whilst traversing the Outback...

Dowsing, sometimes associated with the word, radioesthesia,

is the use of a special instrument to identify or find an object
or condition in physical matter. Dowsing is generally
associated with finding oil, water or precious metals, but
sometimes an object that is missing. To this end, various
Dowsing instruments are used- on either a map, a
picture or an actual physical location. Dowsing is probably a
very ancient practice. There is evidence that Dowsing goes
back as far as ancient Egypt and ancient China. Dowsing
was reportedly used to find coal during the Middle Ages. The most popular tools
for Dowsing are the "wishing rods," which are often made out of metal these
days but sometimes out of wood, as was common in the past- and the
pendulum. Dowsing, in the fast, generally used, wood. Popular woods that were
used for Dowsing were hazel branches, generally forked, along with beech, alder and
apple. Nowadays, as before, the Dowsing rods, when used, are held in an L-shape with
discovery being made when the rods cross each other. Pendulums used for Dowsing are
simply generally string weighted with some type of crystal or other type of weight.

Sir William Barrett, a physics professor at the Royal College of Science in Dublin at the end of the cen-
tury, was extremely skeptical of Dowsing until he became familiar with a dowser named John Mullins,
who was hired by the Waterford Bacon Factory to locate underground streams of water.

The small forked stick he used for Dowsing almost immediately bore more fruit than the work of vari-
ous professional geologists who had failed to identify the water source. Later on, Barrett would be
one of the main founders of the British Society for Psychical Research and publish the results of his
research on Dowsing in the Society's Proceedings.

Classic research on Dowsing was conducted and reported by Dr. Solco W. Tromp, a Dutch professor of
geology, who was the director of the Bioclimatological Center in London.

His chief book related to parapsychological research was Psychical Physics, a work speaking of the influence of various types of electrical
and magnetic field on living organisms. It included the effects of these types of fields on dowsers, which he himself tested in the labora-
tory. To this end, used a galvanometer with a wooden ring and a coil of wire to create a magnetic field. He found that, although dowsers
could not really determine the intensity of the field, they could detect changes in it. He also found that Dowsing in the field, using a pendu-
lum for quicker results, could successfully enable to dowser to detect different types of magnetic anomalies
Theories of Dowsing vary, but it is often supposed that the Dowsing instrument conveys to the psyche of the dowser a subtle energy de-
tected around the object in question. So a field of energy, perhaps still unknown to modern science, is postulated to be the cause of the
phenomenon. For those interested, there is still an American and a British Society of Dowsers. Their addresses are: The British Society of
Dowsers, Sycamore College, Tamley Lane, Hastingleigh, Ashford, Kent, TN25 5HW, England and The American Society of Dowsers, Inc.,
Danville, Vermont, 05828...
