Grim Reaper Visit

2010-02-08T19:20:39Z

"This happened to me last night (January 12, 2010 - Gold Coast, Australia) and I have tried searching all over the net to try and get some rational about what I saw or why I saw it," says Nikki. "I woke at 2:00 a.m. to see what looked to be the traditional Grim Reaper! It stood in the doorway of my bedroom with its hooded head touching the top of the door frame...." But the Grim Reaper is just a fabrication, isn't it? Read the rest of Nikki's story.

And if it's a fabrication, why are so many people seeing it? Such as...

READER REPORT: Deathbed Vision

2010-02-06T12:08:22Z

"Two days ago, my father passed away after a very long, painful, and slow cancer," reports Leszek. "Just before the moment that he died, I was at his bed in our home with my mother. We noticed that he stopped breathing, and that he kind of opened his eyes, much more clearly, gave one look at me, and one look at my mother. Just as we wanted to panic, his eyes -- very clearly, and with precise coardination -- rolled up to the top corner of the room behind me. They kept following something, until this something stopped in front of him, almost on top of him. His eyes, were clearly seeing something, and he looked very surprised or maybe even scared. In exactly the same moment, he seemed to feel something coming straight at him, and that is when he got a heart attack. Two seconds later he continued to look at this thing, much more peacefully now, and he got a second attack. After this, he started dying, and his eyes were closing fading away. Everything seemed very relaxed. About a week before his death, he was speaking about two or three of our dead family memebers, telling my mother that 'Tommorow they are going to work.'"

Thanks, Leszek. The deathbed vision phenomenon is quite fascinating and more common than you might think. We can't know with utmost certainty whether the dying are seeing passed loved ones coming for them, or if it is just an illusion. But there is some compelling anecdotal evidence for the former, which you can read about in these articles:

READER REPORT: The Zozo Phenomenon

2010-02-03T20:41:05Z

"I was recently invited to Darkness Radio to discuss my experiences with the spirit Zozo, that comes to people through Ouija sessions," says Darren Evans. "My interview is on their website, and on my Zozo site at ZozoTheOuijaSpirit.Blogspot.com. I mentioned that I believed many other people were being harassed by this entity. Then a week later, John Zaffis came on the show to reveal that he is investigating three separate Zozo hauntings! It seems to give validity to my theories on this phenomena. I have put together a video podcast of part of the interview with Zaffis. Some of my Zozo stories have caught the attention of many people as a result of you posting them on About.com I thank you for that."

Darren, thanks for the links. Zozo and the Ouija certainly is an interesting phenomenon that seems to be becoming more widespread. Some think it is a demon, evil spirit or lower elemental that is making itself known through the Ouija. Others feel that it is spreading through the power of suggestion (people who have heard the Zozo stories then "encounter" it during a Ouija session). In either case, the experiences are almost always negative in nature, and because they are becoming more common they merit further investigation. As you metioned, several readers have told their Zozo experiences on this website. Here are some of them:

American Paranormal: Bigfoot

2010-02-01T22:40:41Z

If you get a chance, be sure to catch the episode of American Paranormal (a new series on the National Geographic channel) on Bigfoot. It's quite good and presents new evidence in the form of a thorough, expert analysis of the famed Patterson-Gimlin film. They pretty much prove, to my satisfaction at least, that the creature in the film could not have been a man in a suit. Physically, anatomically and costume-wise, it's just not possible. I highly recommend checking it out. If this first episode is any indication of what this new series is going to be like, it's going to be great!

Journeys into the Hollow Earth

2010-02-01T21:00:15Z

If you were to fly north from New York City, across Canada directly to the Earth's physical North Pole, then kept going straight... you'd end up somewhere in Russia, right? Not necessarily, say those who believe the Earth is hollow. Why? Because there's a big gaping hole at the North Pole, they allege, and if you'd fly (or walk, for that matter) across the pole, you'd find yourself entering the interior of the planet. Read more.
