Boston, MA – August 29, 2008 – Do you believe in ghosts? Although sometimes a silly question, Do You Believe in Ghosts? has been a fundamental aspect of all human culture since long before recorded history. Belief or disbelief in ghosts crosses all past and present civilizations, cultures, countries, religions, ethnicities and belief systems. Accounts of individuals crossing from the physical to the nonphysical and then communicating with the living are found in everything from ancient cave drawings to the Bible, from folklore to scientific journals to local newspapers.

While a generous slice of humanity readily or reluctantly believes in ghosts, a larger slice refuses to believe in the paranormal despite stories of hauntings in cities and towns across the world. And while a good percentage of ghost sightings are faked, false alarms or practical jokes, another good percentage is believed to be the real thing.

In the past the Northern Ireland Paranormal Research Association has been aware of mysterious activities in Coalisland, County Tyrone. Claims have been made that an apparition of a woman has appeared in the area.

Recently hoards of people have flocked the area in the hope of getting a glimpse of this sighting. “At one point, there was a line of up to 60 cars on the Mullaghmoyle Road with people trying to spot it,” said Sinn Féin Councillor Desmond Donnelly.

This vision has been ongoing for a week. One theory for the ‘ghost’ is a reflection of the moon from the local river, others believe the ghost is of a woman who lived and died in the area. Previous ghostly sightings were of a phantom female hitchhike

CLEWISTON, FL (WFLX) - People have enjoyed staying in the rooms of the Clewiston Inn for the last 82 years, but sometimes, they get some company.

Recently Ric Blackwell had a chance to become part of the ‘Inn’ crowd.

Clewiston, Florida, called the sweetest town in America, is located on the southwest side of Lake Okeechobee. Home of U.S. Sugar: Population 7,173.

But at the Clewiston Inn, they say, the number is actually 7,177. “We have had a number of paranormal investigations. We found four different energies and four different spirits,” said Christa Hill, GM of Clewiston Inn.

A spirit felt in room 255. Anita Conklin lived at the Clewiston Inn. She died in 1994. “People say she’s grab their hair while in that room to keep them outside. She’s looking to maintain ownership of that room,” explained Floyd Salkey, Co-Owner of the Clewiston Inn.

There is something distinctly eerie about a lighthouse. Jutting out from the shoreline, alone and battered by the cold air and frothing waves of the sea, puncturing the horizon and so strangely remote, haunting the night like a tall wraith. Point Vicente Lighthouse is situated near the intersection of Palos Verdes Drive and Los Verdes Boulevard in the Rancho Palos Verdes section of Los Angeles. It has its own ghost.

When the locals began to complain about the searching light from the structure, the officials thought that the only thing to do to keep the residents happy was to black out the beam, but legend has it, that whilst the light may have been smothered, something ethereal was clearly not happy about the area being bereft of the beacon.

All the major religions of the world believe in some form of evil entity that desires nothing more than lead the hapless human soul down a path of destruction and eternal damnation. Christianity of course has Satan, a personification of pure evil who was once God’s most favored angel but fell out of that favor when he rebelled against God and attempted to stage a coup where he planned to set himself up as the most high and ruler of the universe. As we all know God did not take to kindly to this angelic upstart and took away Satan’s glory and cast him out of heaven. The Jewish texts speak of “The terror which comes at night.” This terror is most likely some kind of evil entity much like the Christian concept of satan. In Buddhism as Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree to receive enlightment he was attacked day and night by demonic entities who slung arrows and evil thoughts into his head. And Islam has Shaitan, an evil entity much like Satan in the Christian and Jewish tradition.

Ghost tour companies in Gettysburg may get audited by the borough government to ensure that they’re paying their fair share of admissions taxes.

According to officials, some groups are not collecting or remitting the levies.

“We do have the right to audit their books,” says Borough Manager John D. Lawver Jr. “It may not be pretty, but we may have to head down that path. We’re going to be investigating that — we have a right to audit these companies.”

The borough government receives a five percent admissions tax from amusement companies, amounting to about $25,000 annually from the ghost tour industry.

“In fourteen hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Do you remember that little ditty? You should, if you are an American and you went to public, private or home schooled that rhyme was drilled into your skull until it became a mantra. It is an excepted historical fact that Christopher Columbus, the gentlemen businessman from Genoa, Italy had a burning desire to open up a quicker and easier trade route to India to get his hands on the beautiful and exotic wares they had to offer. For years he shopped around at practically every royal court in Europe searching for Kings and Queens who would want to invest in his venture, let’s face it this shit ain’t cheap. Finally he found a captive audience in Queen Isabella, of Spain who was all to willing to give him the funds he needed to make his historic trip.

Or is it?
