Have you ever considered your existence? I bet you have. Do you remember that moment? What did you feel then? You don't have to say anything. You live in a world where people play the most important role. People are everywhere. They influence your entire existence. Yes, they influence you. They say "everyone is the architect of their own destiny," but is that really true? Notice how your mind is shaped by every interaction with different people. Especially during childhood. You only see them. They are the most important. Your family and friends from school. You talk to them, you develop your interests, but then something happens... I think you've been ridiculed at least once. Then something hurt you. Someone disagrees with your views and, through laughter, tries to teach you a different way of thinking. Think about it, isn't that true? When you continue to try to stay true to yourself, that person keeps attacking you. They do this until you submit. Until you becom...

 Stories of enormous human skeletons being discovered in various locations across North America abound. In November 1856, some local newspapers reported the discovery of a man supposedly over 3.28 meters tall. This discovery was made by several workers tending a winery in West Virginia. This discovery was dismissed as a hoax when one newspaper reported three bullets found in the skeleton's head. However, these bullets were not precisely described and could have been any type of projectile. The location of the skeleton's reburial is also unknown, making it impossible to determine the authenticity of the find. In 1823, the skeleton of a 3.60-meter giant was found in Lompock Rancho, California. Soldiers were digging a bunker intended to serve as a gunpowder depot when they came across the dead remains. What was particularly strange about this skeleton was its double gums. Numerous other equally mysterious objects, such as strange runes, were found with it. After the townspeople...

Glastonbury, one of England's oldest sacred sites, holds many secrets related to history and spirituality. In 1907, architect Frederic Bligh Bond was involved in excavations on the grounds of the abbey, once a monk's residence and the burial place of King Arthur. His work attracted the attention of not only archaeologists but also those interested in the paranormal. Using automatic writing, Bond claimed to communicate with the monks' spirits, leading to extraordinary discoveries. Despite the successful results of his research, the church quickly distanced itself from his methods, ending his career at Glastonbury. Glastonbury is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most sacred places in England. Archaeological finds suggest that it has been a significant religious site since the time of the Druze. Other evidence suggests that before the Celts arrived in England in the 6th or 7th century BC, the mountain was a sacred place. Near th...

The poltergeist phenomenon, known as the activity of noisy spirits, arouses much controversy and fascination. For years, researchers have been analyzing cases that combine paranormal elements with human influence. In the context of famously haunted locations such as Borley Rectory, theories have emerged suggesting that these phenomena may result from both the presence of spirits and the unconscious psychokinesis of those who frequent the location. This article will present various aspects of this phenomenon and cases that illustrate the complex relationship between the supernatural and the human psyche. Harry Price; Image courtesy of Wikimedia, public domainThe poltergeist phenomenon is likely a misunderstood form of paranormal activity, at least in connection with haunted houses. The word "poltergeist" means "noisy ghost" in German, and for many years, investigators believed that noisy spirits caused the reported phenomena. Events occurring in a "haunted"...

Poltergeists are paranormal phenomena that have fascinated and terrified people for centuries. The term, derived from German, means "malicious spirit" and is most often associated with noises and strange occurrences in old houses. However, as numerous examples demonstrate, poltergeists can occur anywhere, often in the presence of adolescent children. Stories from around the world, from possessed houses to mysterious fires, suggest that these phenomena may involve not only ghosts but also the uncontrolled abilities of young people. PhotoThe name comes from two German words: Polterei, meaning "pounding, noise," and Geist, meaning "ghost." Most people associate this term with a "malicious, noisy spirit" that inhabits old houses, castles, and other such structures. They're right, but not entirely. This phenomenon can occur almost anywhere, especially in places frequented by adolescents. Here are a few examples where strange things begin to happen...

This article explores fascinating and terrifying stories related to the ghosts of battles that took place in England and Scotland. It describes, among others, the Battle of Edgehill in 1642, where deceased soldiers supposedly return to the scene of battle, and the brutal Battle of Culloden in 1746, which resulted in the massacre of Scots. Examples from the 20th century, such as the Dieppe Night Invasion, demonstrate how wartime events leave traces that permeate the present, sparking interest from tourists and paranormal researchers. During the English Civil War, in October 1642, at Edgehill (Warwickshire), supporters of King Charles I clashed with troops raised by the rebellious Parliament. A terrifying clash For nearly four hours, the armies, each numbering over 14,000 soldiers, fought. Neither emerged victorious. The fighting ceased after nightfall. Soon, rumors spread that the sound of drums could be heard occasionally near Edgehill, followed by the sounds of fierce fighting. Curiou...

Helen Schucman's now famous book "A Course in Miracles" was also a product of channeled messages from spirit. Perhaps not everyone knows that Helen Schucman's now-famous book, "A Course in Miracles," was also a product of channeled messages from spirit. The book was infused and popularized by Marianne Williamson's interpretation of the work in "Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles" and subsequent books. Helen Schucman was a professor and psychologist at Columbia University who claimed to have channeled the contents of a book for seven years in trance states. She claimed the author was none other than Jesus Christ himself, who dictated his "new gospel" to her to correct errors in commonly accepted scriptures and some Church teachings. As might be expected, this statement led to criticism of "A Course in Miracles" by mainstream religions (some even labeling it demonically inspired)....

Writer Jane Roberts claimed to receive messages through a Ouija board from a being from the afterlife who called himself Set One of the most unusual and controversial cases of recorded messages from the afterlife involves Jane Roberts, who claimed to receive books from a spiritual being named Set. Her story began in 1963, when Jane (a writer) and her husband (an artist) began experimenting with a Ouija board to develop extrasensory perception. To their surprise, a being named Set appeared and began transmitting to Jane, letter by letter, the most astonishing information about life, the human condition, and the potential of human experience. Eventually, Jane managed to receive information from Set directly through channeling, without the use of a Ouija board. "A fantastic avalanche of radically new ideas hit my head with tremendous force," Jane said, "as if my skull were some kind of receiving station, tuned to an unbearable volume, my body sitting at a table, my hands fu...

Rosemary Brown may have surpassed Curran and Merrill in her artistic achievements, claiming to have composed music for at least twenty deceased composers, many of them well-known. Rosemary, whose mother was said to have possessed psychic abilities, claimed that at the age of seven a white-haired spirit appeared to her and told her she would become a famous musician. Only ten years later, when she saw his image in a book, did she realize that the spirit was Franz Liszt. Contrary to prophecy, however, Rosemary never achieved success in music – she only took a few piano lessons. In 1964, Rosemary – then a middle-aged British widow with two children – was again contacted by the spirit of Franz Liszt. He presumably brought several friends with him. Rosemary began composing music under the guidance of such legendary composers as Bach, Chopin, Stravinsky, Schubert, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, and Liszt – even completing Beethoven's 10th and 11th Symphonies. Critical evaluation of Rosemary Brow...

Another writer who used a Ouija board was poet James Merrill. After winning the 1983 National Book Critics Circle Award, Merrill admitted that he used a Ouija board while composing his seminal poem, "The Changing Light at Sandover." While using a Ouija board with friends in the 1950s, Merrill allegedly communicated with the spirits of writers Wallace Stevens and W.H. Auden, as well as his own father and the parents of a friend—and it was during these sessions that he composed the acclaimed poem. In his April 13, 2015, article for The New Yorker, titled "Out of this World: James Merrill`s Supernatural Muse," Dan Chaisson writes: "As thousands of pages of transcripts from their sessions demonstrate, they entered the supernatural realm deeper than anyone of their intelligence and character had done for a long time, and they created something—a magnificent poem that makes us question what we think we know about the universe—unprecedented in contemporary poetry

One of the most famous cases involves Pearl Curran, a poorly educated woman from St. Louis who, beginning in 1913, wrote a series of novellas that she claimed were dictated to her by a spirit calling itself Patience Worth. Although Curran had no interest in spiritualism, she was persuaded to attend a séance. Using a Ouija board, Curran wrote down the name Patience Worth, who later revealed that she had lived in 17th-century Dorset, England, and later emigrated to America, where she was killed by natives. From that moment on, Curran and Worth became perhaps the most unusual literary partners of all time. Curran would enter trances and receive messages from Worth, resulting in several stories that were widely acclaimed by contemporary critics. Was Curran simply a naturally gifted writer who—perhaps even unconsciously—used Worth as a vehicle for her own self-expression? What's strange about these stories—like "A Tale of Sorrow," "Hope Trueblood," and "Athenaeu...

This article explores the extraordinary cases of writers who claimed their work was inspired by spirits. Pearl Curran, known as the "genius of the Ouija board," created a series of novellas dictated by the spirit of Patience Worth. Another author, James Merrill, used a Ouija board to write an acclaimed poem, and Rosemary Brown composed music supposedly under the direction of dead composers. This phenomenon raises numerous questions about the limits of human creativity and the possibility of communication with the afterlife, as well as how paranormal phenomena can influence art. Despite her limited education, Pearl Curran managed to write a series of novellas, which she claimed were dictated to her by a spirit calling herself Patience Worth. She was soon hailed as the "genius of the Ouija board." When you hear about someone supposedly possessed by a spirit, the first thing that probably comes to mind is a tortured, insulting creature, jumping up and down,...

 

 

I wasn't going to say anything to N. or her again. Kelli and I went inside. The girls were watching us, and I had to tell them about my… let's call it a date with Kelli. Kell went off to play soccer, like all the other boys, 15 minutes of play, and then it was all ours. I had time to talk to Anne. On my way to the bathroom, I saw N. coming from the opposite direction. I knew we'd have to pass each other. I was furious with him, and he obviously was too. I wasn't going to try to avoid being hit by him, because the hallway was too small for two people. Everyone was staring at us, wondering what we'd do, it seemed like nothing, but we were getting closer, and I wasn't going to budge. Everyone was curious to see who would move 180 degrees so the other person could pass without touching, and that's when it happened. The jerk didn't turn around, and I was sure he would. He hit me in the collarbone with his shoulder, or maybe it looked like I had. Neither of us...

We pulled up to the Centre. Most of them were already standing outside, waiting to be let in. (The Centre is a pretty ordinary place, a sports center, a place to meet, and the guys have a place to play football, and we're rooting for them. It's the only place we can go on Fridays, besides the disco at Glentis, about 20 minutes away, but the police have been showing up there too often lately, it's not really there lately... you know, a party where no one dances, everyone just fights drunk, no fun). I got off the bike and saw Piotrek's gang. Some handsome guy was hugging... I can't believe it, Gemma, Ros's girlfriend. As far as I know, she just broke up with Ros today, she didn't grieve for long, and they'd been dating for about a year. Piotrek spotted me and Kelly, and the whole gang was heading our way. Then Gemma's new boyfriend turned around. I couldn't believe it, IT'S N!!! Him and Gemma?! He was walking towards us, hugging her, along with...

A few days later, Michael was given a few days off, sneaking out of prison, and spent over twenty-four hours in the fresh air, freeing himself from the daily stresses. He returned relaxed and completely composed, even managing to sleep through the night without nightmares. In the morning, he was a different person, changed into his new uniform, and left the room, encountering a group of guards . "Hello everyone! " "Hi Michael! " "Hey ." "Remember that beautiful blonde?" Jack asked. Michael's smile faded, and he looked at his colleague, narrowing his eyes. "Yeah, what about her? " "The warden liked her and she was transferred," explained another one, smirking. Michael felt his stomach twist in all directions, and he paled a bit. He retreated back to his room, but the days of absence had taken their toll. In the evening, he would calm down, and he decided to take a short walk through the dark corridors, peeking curiously int...
