Museum Ghost

On a visit to a "haunted" museum, a BBC journalist snapped this intriguing pic which allegedly shows a ghostly apparition.

To me it looks like a shirtless dude with his pants belted above his belly and a rag on his head. Why my deceased uncle is apparating (to use Harry Potter jargon) at a museum in the UK ? That's the real mystery.

CAPS at ConCarolinas

May 29-31st 2009

CAPs is proud to announce our participation in ConCarolinas 2009! This year, Tina McSwain and Kimberly Raines will speak on many paranormally themed panels throughout the three-day Con. Click the posst title or the ConCarolinas banner on the sidebar for tickets and schedules.

Think cons are just nerd conventions? Think again! This will be my third Con and each one has been a blast!

You don't have to be a diehard Trekkie to enjoy the festivities. The people are wonderful, the costumes are insane, and the atmosphere is happy, positive, and family-friendly. No kiddies? No worries? After dark is grown-up time with Karaoke, parties and all sorts of festivities.

Visit our fan table at the Con! We'd love to meet you and hear your favorite ghost story!

The Wall Street Journal reports on the growing (pardon the pun) trend of at home genetic experimentation. Turns out that anyone crafty enough to Macguyver a lab and get ahold of random samples can have hours of fun hacking DNA.

If that's not enough to give you nightmares, click on the post title to read about the plucky "researcher" experimenting with E.Coli. YIPES!

Personal I think this ghost is made of the same thing as so many others...a stray bug crawling across the lens. Check out the footage and judge for yourself.

Both of these CAPS acitivites will resume in May.
Thanks!
