Most of this video contains footage of three young adults, bantering in Portuguese while they are trying to find some unknown location. Towards the end, they pick up a girl who appears stranded on the side of the road. She gets in the car, looking very upset. The video footage jumps and turns static whenever she looks into the camera. That and her dramatic declaration at the end gives this video away as a fake. Still it was well done.
It reminded me of a story I’d watched on some paranormal show years ago about a girl named Susan. This guy was driving somewhere late at night when he spotted a girl standing on the side of the road, appearing lost and stranded. He picked her up and drove her to her house.
When he got out of the car to escort her, he found that she had vanished. Confused, he walked up to the front door and rang the bell. A middle-aged man answered. “Do you know anyone named Susan?” the driver asked him. “I picked this girl up on Route 102, but she disappeared when I got out of the car.”
The man averted his gaze. “Yeah. I had a daughter named Susan. She died on that highway several years ago. This has happened before. She is still trying to come home.”

Have any other ghost hunters investigated the Mt Lawley Golf Course, also in Australia? (Inglewood, Perth, Western Australia.) Mount Lawley Golf Course is dubbed ‘The Most Haunted Golf Course On Earth’. Similar paranormal activity reported there too - ‘celestial glows’, freakish apparitions and unnatural sensations of terror, coming from people not the least bit interested in ghosts! What’s really interesting about the haunting on the Mt Lawley Golf Course is that research uncovered an authentic, well supported historical incident of a tragic, very gruesome death on the golf course in mysterious circumstances in the early 1930s. All too often skeptics maintain that reports of tragic death’s at haunted locations aren’t authenticated. The tragedy at the Mount Lawley Golf Course is a matter of public record.

A search turned up a post by the great granddaughter, who had insisted that the her great grandfather’s true identity be changed in order to protect his surviving family. You can read her post in the Ghostvillage.com forum, where she shares her own paranormal experiences while visiting. I read through the history section of the golf course’s website, but didn’t find any mention of a tragic death, let alone hauntings.
I couldn’t find any information about whether or not ghost hunters have investigated this place or not. Based on the affluent feel of the course’s website, I have my doubts that they would be allowed inside, given the potential for negative publicity. I could be wrong, but that’s my feeling.
In 1986, on his death bed, retired Major Jesse Marcel told his son; “You must tell the world the truth about Roswell. When the military no longer has a hold over you and your family, please set the record straight!”
Major Jesse Marcel was the head of intelligence at an Army Air Field located at Roswell, New Mexico. On July 7, 1947 Major Marcel was sent to inspect what was being reported as the crash of an unidentified object on a ranch seventy-five miles northwest of the base. After inspecting the crash site, Marcel stopped by his home to show his family what he had discovered. Jesse Jr. was only eleven years old at the time, but vividly remembers his father’s excitement, and seeing and handling a foil-like material that his father said was scattered around the wreckage. It was shiny and paper thin, but could not be torn or cut. It also retained a memory, mysteriously unfolding each time his father tried to fold it. And then there was that beam of metal several feet long, which was covered with hieroglyphic-type writing and markings. It was indeed something that was not of this world.
The Roswell Legacy will be released Worldwide on July 5, 2007 in Roswell, NM, at the 60th Anniversary celebration. To learn more about the book, follow the link below to read the rest of the synopsis.
I saw The Thing when it first came out in the theater back in 1982. After all this time, it’s still one of my favorite alien movies. The Antarctic background was the perfect setting for this movie because of the isolation factor.
In the very beginning, you see an alien space craft hurtling toward Earth. Millions of years later, it is discovered by a Norwegian science team, who dig up the remains and bring it back to their station. We don’t know what happened to them until after the survivors are shot down by American scientists, who think they have gone mad.
The American team thinks that they have saved a dog from an untimely death. What they couldn’t know is the terror that had seeded itself inside the dog. Mac (the head honcho of the team) and Cooper (the doctor) fly to the Norwegian station and discover an atrocity that they can’t fathom. What’s more, they find a journal that chronicles the discovery of an alien spacecraft with an occupant that is still alive. The doctor brings a piece of the carnage, a corpse with two heads, back to their station for an autopsy.
That night, the dog is put into the kennel with the other dogs. The scientists, who resemble and act more like truck drivers, resume their dull routine until the alien decides to mutate inside the dog. From this point on, the men fight for survival against each other as well as the alien.
This movie was one of the best of its era. Had it been made today, I think there would be a lot less gore and more focus on the psychological terror.
