The Mysterious Red Rain Cells of Kerala

In 2001 in Kerala, India, a red rain fell for the first time; staining clothes and alarming those caught in the deluge. Dr Godfrey Louis of Mahatma Ghandi University collected vials of the rain and was shocked to find what appeared to be biological cells under the microscope.

The red rain fell again in 2006 & 2007 and Dr. Louis continues researching what he believes is biological extraterrestrial material contained in the fluid.

Linda Moulton Howe's Earthfiles features an in depth report on Dr. Louis's research including pictures of these mysterious cells. Click on the post title above to check out the latest findings.

Hearse belonging to "Sparky" of PSI. You can see the Pavilion in the background. This is where Saturday night's VIP Celebrity Ghost Hunt was held. This was the first time anyone had investigated this location, which at one point in its history, had been a hospital.

CAPS would like to thank PSI, the Lake Lure Inn and Spa Staff, and all the celebrity guests for such a great weekend! We had a blast! We met many fellow investigators and have formed bonds and lasting friendships. It was a great opportunity to network, meet people famous in the paranormal world, and do a little ghost hunting as well.
