Award-winning photographer Matt Hoyle has a new book coming out in September called, “Encounters: With the Strange and Unexplained.” This book chronicles a paranormal road trip that he took last summer, photographing 60 witnesses to alien spacecraft, haunted houses, poltergeists, etc. Matt has a website where you can view his photos, some of which look more like paintings. He did a great job of catching the emotion of his subjects and their spooky surroundings. Check them out at Matt Hoyle’s Encounters.

Paranormal investigator, Ross Hemsworth has placed a £100 bet with bookmakers William Hill that he will provide solid evidence that the afterlife exists before the year ends. “There is something out there trying to make contact,” Hemsworth said in an interview.

“With the evidence we have got we are not a million miles away from proving it. The whole point of the project is to prove that there is something there. More and more people are coming away from religion, there are more and more wars. If we can prove this we hope it will make some difference to peoples’ lives.”

I can’t help but feel skeptical about this man and his intentions. If he really wants to “make some difference to people’s lives”, why place a crackpot bet? This sounds like the latest of many schemes.

To get this software, you’ll have to subscribe to Most Haunted Mobile. Then you’ll have to determine whether your phone and carrier support the Ghost Detector, which you can download at no extra charge.
