Ghost Encounters of the Kitchen Counter Kind

This morning, inches from where I last had a poltergeist move a bottle of dish soap while I was feet away, my blender started by itself. This was about 3 minutes after using it. It just came on. It has never done this before and I was unable to make it happen again, even strongly shaking and bumping the blender base after turning it off as lightly as possible.

Possibilities:

- The off switch was not fully off and during those three minutes was slowly depressing due to completely natural forces until the electrical contact was made and the motor started.

- Someone rigged my blender with a remote control switch to mess with me

- A focused beam energy weapon deployed on a cloaked floating platform above my house was used. Someone saw the human heat signature in my kitchen through the roof and some joker at the controls at Area 51 decided to have some fun and prove just how advanced technology has become.

- A ghost is trying to send me a message of some kind. Candidates: a deceased grandparent, the deceased previous owner of the home, the deceased maintenance man who had the key made.

First a key falls to the floor from a nail on the wall, then the soap bottle rocks back and forth, now the blender comes on. All in the same kitchen. All weeks apart.

Key, Soap, Blender… KSB. Hmmm. Someones initials? The urban dictionary say it stands for “Kick Some Butt”.

Berry’s Mom was told daughter was dead. Thanks, Sylvia

Image: Amanda Berry, kidnapped and held captive escapes after 10 years. 

Amanda Berry, who went missing from Cleveland’s west side in 2003, was found alive Monday night with her daughter.

“She comes out with a little girl and says ‘Call 911, my name is Amanda Berry’… When she told me, it didn’t register.” A neighbor  said he made the call and gave Berry the phone. When police arrived, officers asked him if he knew who he rescued.

There was a child who was about 4 or 5 years old with Berry, as well as other children inside the house. He said he recognized Berry, now 27 years of age, from posters.

A source close to Scripps station WEWS said it was Berry’s daughter.

Missing teens Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight have been found. This is incredible news for their families who have been living a nightmare all these years. …

A woman claiming to be Amanda Berry called Cleveland Police Monday afternoon.

She also told the 911 dispatcher that Gina DeJesus is with her. A third missing woman, 32-year old Michelle Knight, was in the home with Berry and DeJesus. It’s believed Knight disappeared when she was 20. …

Berry was last seen in 2003 when she was called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from work at the Burger King on West 110th Street and Lorain Avenue. She was set to turn 17 the day after her disappearance.

Ten years ago, guess who predicted Amanda Berry was dead… …

Amanda Berry’s mother traveled to New York to tell her story to Psychic Sylvia Browne on the Montel Williams Show. The show was a shot at getting her daughter’s picture before the eyes of millions of Americans. “On April 21st 2003, 16-year-old Amanda Berry left her part-time job never to be seen again,” the show began. With that, TV viewers across America now know a girl from Cleveland is missing. But Amanda Berry’s mom wanted more than her daughter’s picture on national TV. She wants answers. “Can you tell me…Is she out there?” Berry’s mother Louwana Miller asked. “I hate when they’re in the water,” Browne said. “She’s not alive honey.” It was bad news from the world-renowned psychic. It’s what Miller didn’t want to hear. “So you don’t think I’ll ever see her again,” Miller said. “Yeah in Heaven on the other side,” Browne responded. “I’m sorry.”

Yep, Amanda’s Mom thought her child was dead. She died of heart failure in 2006.

We have seen many MANY, WAY TOO MANY stories of psychics being wrong or at least distracting and unhelpful for solving cases. Sylvia is all those and more. For all that is good and decent in the world – NEVER trust a psychic. DO not waste your time, your effort and your hopes.

Here is a transcript from the show.

Up to this point, her prediction that Shawn Hornbeck was dead was her biggest blunder.

via Berry’s Mom was told daughter was dead. Thanks, Sylvia. You were so &*%#^ helpful. | Doubtful News.

The tragic consequences of listening to psychic advice were brought into sharp focus in January 2007, when yet another psychic vision from Sylvia Browne was revealed to be wrong. Several years ago during one of her many appearances on the Montel Williams show, Browne told the parents of missing child Shawn Hornbeck that their son was dead. His body, she said, would be found in a wooded area near two large boulders. Furthermore, according to Browne, Hornbeck was kidnapped by a very tall, “dark-skinned man, he wasn’t Black, more like Hispanic,” who wore dreadlocks.

According to a spokesman for the Hornbeck family, following the Montel broadcast Browne tried to get money from the family: “She called Pam and Craig about one month after the show and pretty much offered her services to continue their discussion for a fee. Pam was that desperate that if she had had $700 in her bank account she would have put it on the table. We are talking about a mother who would have sold her soul to have her boy back.”

In fact, Hornbeck and another boy were found very much alive January 16, 2007, in the home of Michael Devlin, a Missouri man accused of kidnapping them. Hornbeck had been missing for four years, but his parents had not given up hope of finding him despite Browne’s misinformation. Devlin, a Caucasian, is not Black, dark-skinned, nor Hispanic and almost certainly did not have dreadlocks at the time he allegedly abducted Hornbeck.

If you are spending money on psychics, please take the time to understand Cold Reading and learn to place your trust carefully.

Most importantly…

To Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus and Michelle Knight, welcome back! We are amazed and we admire your courage as a survivors. No one can give you the ten years back, but we might learn from your experience to prevent this from happening to other girls.  May the Press give you the space you need to go at your own pace.

 

“Spooky Action at a Distance” in the Quantum World Shortly Before Final Proof

… Physicists have succeeded in closing the last local realistic loophole for systems of entangled photons.

In everyday life it is only natural that the properties of objects exist independent of being observed or not. The quantum world on the other hand is ruled by other laws: the property of a particle may be not be defined until the instant it is being measured, and two entangled particles seem to be connected in a non-local way over large distances. Various experiments worldwide have demonstrated this fundamental attribute of quantum theory. However, up to now last doubts could not be ruled out completely. Advocates of “local realism” by which the classical world is governed refer to several “loopholes” in order to save their world view. Now physicists from the group of Prof. Anton Zeilinger at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) in Vienna, Austria, have closed an important loophole in photonic experiments which use quantum entanglement to rule out a local realistic explanation of nature.

The results are published this week in Nature .

“Local realism” is a world view in which the properties of physical objects exist independent of whether or not they are observed by anyone (realism) and in which no physical influence can propagate faster than the speed of light (locality). In 1964, in one of the most important works in the history of the foundations of quantum theory, the Irish physicist John Bell proved theoretically that local realism is in contradiction with the predictions of quantum mechanics, and that the decision between these philosophically so radically different world views can be made by experiment. A certain inequality, the now famous “Bell inequality,” can be used for an experimental test. Quantum mechanics can violate the inequality, whereas local realism cannot.

In a Bell test, pairs of particles, e.g. photons, are produced. From every pair, one photon is sent to a party usually called Alice, and the other photon is sent to Bob. They each make a choice which physical property they want to measure, e.g. which direction of their photon’s polarization. For pairs that are quantum entangled, the correlations of Alice’s and Bob’s measurement outcomes can violate Bell’s inequality. Quantum entanglement – a term coined by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger – means that neither photon taken by itself has a definite polarisation but that, if one party measures the polarisation of its photon and obtains a random result, the other photon will always show a perfectly correlated polarisation. Albert Einstein called this strange effect “spooky action at a distance.”…http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130415094839.htm

I experienced spooky action at a distance tonight. A bottle of soap began rocking on its own near my kitchen sink. No breeze, no earthquake. I was about 5 ft away. The only thing that makes sense is that the slow moving soap from the top took a while to settle and after a certain balance point was reached, it started rocking.

I’ve had a key fly off of the wall in this very same room. The guy who installed the locks and had that key made had recently died in a car crash. The key was hanging on a sign that says, “life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.”

Soap. Dish soap. Could be a clue to something I’m working on…

Quantum Jumping – Communicate With Your Subconscious Mind – Tonight Dec 26th, 6 pm Pacific (8pm Central/9pm Eastern)

Since the 1920’s, quantum physicists have been trying to make sense of an uncomfortable and startling possibility—that an infinite number of alternate universes exist.

Leading scientists like Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku and Neil Turok, all of whom are responsible for life-changing breakthroughs in the field of quantum physics, have all suggested the existence of multiple universes.

This jaw-dropping discovery was first made when, trying to pinpoint the exact location of an atomic particle, physicists found it was virtually impossible. It had no single location. In other words, atomic particles have the ability to simultaneously exist in more than one place at a time.The only explanation for this is that particles don’t only exist in our universe—They can spark into existence in an infinite number of parallel universes as well. And although these particles come to being and change in synchronicity, they are all slightly different.

But here’s where things get really interesting. Drawing on the above-mentioned scientific theory and merging it with 59 years of study into mysticism and the human mind, Burt Goldman has hypothesized a fascinating idea:

In these alternate universes, alternate versions of YOU could be living out their lives.

And with an infinite number of them, it means that anything that can happen, does happen—in another universe. If this hypothesis is true, there is a universe where Obama never won the election and another where Princess Diana is still alive. There is a universe where you are the King of Scotland and a universe where you are a tea farmer in China. A universe where you are a celebrity musician, and one where you busk on a pavement for spare change.

So how do parallel universes come to be? How, if you are born in this universe, are there now an infinite number of dimensions where you could exist simultaneously? The theory is simple:

Every decision you make in life causes a “split” in reality…

Which in turn creates two alternate universes—one where the current version of you is today, and another with the version of you who made a different choice. Now think about your life.

Think about all the decisions you’ve made that led to who you are today. If all these decisions caused a split in your reality, each time creating a new version of yourself in a parallel universe who also goes on to make a certain set of choices thereby splitting their reality, you can begin to imagine the infinite versions of yourself that exist.

Now imagine what you could accomplish if you could somehow tap into these alternate universes to meet and learn from these alternate versions of yourself. Imagine the wisdom you’d learn. The opportunities you’d recognize, the skills you’d acquire, and the pitfalls you’d know to avoid.

By meeting these alternate selves, you’d essentially be tapping into a sea of knowledge and experience. But how, might you be asking, does one access these alternate realities? That’s where Quantum Jumping comes in.

Date:26th Dec, Wednesday

Time: 6pm Pacific (8pm Central/9pm Eastern)

Duration: 90 minutes approx.

Before it starts:

Set aside 90 minutes of privacy to watch this (you’ll need all the focus you can get to catch the valuable insights and tips from Burt)

Mark the event on your calendar. Put a post-it note on your screen if you must

Be on time. We can’t guarantee a replay (We probably will though). You don’t want to miss it.

A friend told me about this new Woo that many people are into. I don’t recommend spending any money on it, but we are going to do the Quantum jumping tonight for 90 minutes with thousands of others. I’m assuming it will be a big sales pitch with very little meat and plenty of pitch. I’ve seen this kind of thing many times. Get people excited about an idea, then talk around it for a long time and get them to buy something. Nevertheless, there may be some useful visualization ideas for self hypnosis and meditation even if contacting or jumping to parallel universes is 100% fiction.

Join us tonight if it sounds fun to you. Due to my local movie times, I’m putting off seeing the Hobbit until tomorrow for this bit of strange fun.

Did you listen? As I suspected, mostly a commercial for the $199 CD set, but the technique was useful. I quantum jumped and the me in a parallel universe told the me in this universe “mp3skull, but cancel any .exe you see”. I have no idea what that means or why he said that.

Elevator Hidden camera: Girl Scares Trapped Hotel Guest

A hidden camera which comes from Brazil the show “Silvio Santos” on SBT, where people are trapped in an elevator that is breaking down and the light has been turned off. When the light comes, a little girl with a teddy scary then appears next to them. Anxiety guaranteed!

Barack Obama Will Win Say Peruvian Shamans

Using maracas, coca leaves and a hallucinogenic brew, a group of Peruvian shamans has determined that Mr Obama will be re-elected on Tuesday.

Wearing traditional Andean dress, the group of 12 medicine men and women gathered on Monday at the top of Lima’s San Cristobal hill for a ceremony.

They burned incense and rubbed a poster of Mr Obama with flowers and the common rue plant, which is supposed to bring good luck.

They also assaulted a poster of Mr Romney with maracas and a sword.

“The apus (gods of the hills in indigenous mythology) tell us Obama will be re-elected,” predicted Juan Osco, known as the Shaman of the Andes.

The shamans sang, whistled and danced in a circle for journalists, who came and went as the ceremony continued.

They also chewed coca leaves, a traditional ceremonial and medicinal plant since Inca times that helps fight altitude sickness. …

Mystery as Scots couple capture spooky green figure on camera

Gary and Amanda Linney said the strange figure was spotted running away from their cottage as they
experimented with a new camera.

The bizarre snaps emerged just days after another family claimed to have filmed a UFO floating above their house about 25 miles away.

Former policeman Gary, 52, said there was no explanation for the figure.

He said: “It looks like a little green man running. It just disperses into the surface of the road.

“If you look closely, you can see a head. It’s very surreal. I was a policeman and a pilot for 20 years and have never seen anything like this before.” ….

Dad-of-three Gary said: “This wasn’t a reflection. We live in two old cottages and my children have seen orbs floating around and heard footsteps. It’s usually around the staircase.”

Amanda, 45, said staff at their hotel – which is also thought to be haunted – suggested the ghostly figure may have come from there.

She said: “I have no idea what it was. We have used the same setting, taken photos in the same location and in different locations and nothing has appeared again.

“We have experienced a lot of strange things since we took over the place two years ago so the staff think something spooky had followed me home that night.”

Last week, Morag Ritchie, of Fraserburgh, told how she was woken in the night by flashing lights outside her house.

The 50-year-old claimed several members of her family saw a UFO. Her daughter Cara’s fiance, Scott Bower filmed footage on his phone.

A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman could not explain the sighting and Grampian Police said there had been no reports of lights in the sky.

via Mystery as Scots couple capture spooky green figure on camera – Daily Record.

The green is a lens flare from the strong white light (partially cut off in this photo) nearer to the camera. You can imagine a head if that’s more fun for you, however.

I believe Amanda Linney is holding a Sony Alpha SLT-A65 DSLR Digital Camera with a different zoom lens attachment, but the body looks like this:

Here is a similar green lens flare from a white light source (in this case the sun):

Update: Most strong light sources are round, so most lens flares are round, but the flare will be the same shape as the light. In this photo the light in the foreground is a vertical bar. Here is an example of a horizontal bar light making a horizontal lens flare:

Another thing to note is that zoom lenses cause more flares because they have more parts to cause reflections within the camera.

The sentence “Gary and Amanda Linney said the strange figure was spotted running away from their cottage as they experimented with a new camera,” is misleading.

They didn’t claim to spot a strange figure with their eyes, only when looking at photos they took, the way I read it.

Dead hubby’s face appears on wife’s bedroom wall

SHOCKED Andrea Samuels saw a stain suddenly appearing on her bedroom wall — and realised it was her late husband Brian’s FACE.

The 41-year-old, who lost her hubby four years ago, told yesterday how she went on to spot another in the bathroom — which was her dead DOG.

Spooked Andrea decided against calling a damp specialist to her home — and got an exorcist round instead.

Catholic priest Father Paul Dadson chanted prayers and sprinkled holy water at the house in Carlisle, Cumbria.

He said: “There was some kind of image on the wall that appeared from a distance like the figure of a man.”

Andrea, who has lived in the house for ten years, was transfixed when she spotted her hubby watching over her. She said: “I looked at the image for three hours.”

But after the appearance of her dead pet boxer Hoob, the house started being dogged by problems, such as furniture breaking and pictures not hanging. Andrea said: “I used to have a beautiful house and it just went.”

Light turns itself on in my house

Remember a few days ago when I had a key fly off the wall and land on my kitchen floor when there was no wind and the key had been on its hook for about a week without being touched? … And it turned out the guy who installed the lock and gave us the key had died in a car crash a few days before?

Well, just now, the light in my living room came on by itself. It has never done this before.

The light is about one foot out of arms reach for me as I’m sitting here on the couch, not moving. The light came on, and has stayed on, with no sound at all. I moved around and shook the couch to see if my movement accidentally turned it on. Nope. I have no pets.

Examining the light switch (a knob) shows that it is possible to turn the light on and have it remain off. In that state it takes only a small twist for the light to come on… But I haven’t seen it come on by itself again after many tests.

Poltergeist coincidence

Remember I said just yesterday that I had a poltergeist experience, that a house key fell for no reason onto the middle of my kitchen floor? Remember when I said I hoped no one had died? Well, sadly, they did.

I found out today that the guy who bought that key and installed the locks on my house died in a car crash a few days ago.

Unfortunately, he took two other innocent persons with him when his truck drifted into oncoming traffic and he had a head on collision.

Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. Don’t get too busy. Keep your eyes on the road, my friends.
