Vera H-C Chan from Yahoo Search compiled a list of the top 15 searches for the supernatural yesterday. I have to admit that I was a bit surprised to find that UFOs didn’t make the list, given all the sightings reported this year as well as France’s launch of their infamous UFO case report website. I figured that the term would have made it to the top 5, at the very least. Who knew.
As a fan and writer of ghost stories, I was pleased to see that the term “ghost” made it to the top this year. Thanks to shows like “Ghost Hunter” and “Ghost Whisperer,” I anticipate that this term will remain in the top 10 until the end of 2008.

Researchers from The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are heading to Guyana in search of the didi, the South American version of Bigfoot. The CFZ believes the didi is a surviving species of ground sloth that was extinct for more than 10,000 years. Metro reporter Oliver Stallwood will follow the team when they set off for their expedition in November.
Most likely, they will find a nest of giant anacondas.

This picture strikes me as something I would read about in a Stephen King novel. An eleven year-old boy shoots and kills a monster pig with a .50 caliber pistol, after a three hour chase which ended in a point-blank shot. If I didn’t see the picture, I wouldn’t have believed it. Visit monsterpig.com for more pics and details, including Jamison’s first movie part in the upcoming Legend of Hogzilla.

A cub scout leader and a postal worker are the latest to contact the West Midlands Ghost Club about a Big Foot sighting at Cannock Chase, near Stafford. These sightings have been reported by civilians, law enforcement, military personnel, and scouts for many years. Theories range from crazed homeless people to aliens. But perhaps the most interesting theory comes from a paranormal investigator who wishes to remain anonymous.
He believes that the creatures are a Stone Age throwback, surviving in the caves and catacombs of the heavily-mined Chase for centuries. How they survived and how they came to this place is a mystery. These creatures have been blamed for a rash of pet disappearances that occur around the time of a sighting.
