What came first religon science or belief in paranormal activity?
Early science and early religion (belief in ghosts is part of religion) are both prehistoric (before people invented writing) - so we shall never have a definitive answer to this question.
One of the most interesting theories I have seen is argued by Robert Graves in his book The White Goddess. Graves suggests that early science (mainly basic biology and astronomy - the two cornerstones of the earliest civilisations) were not distinct from early religion: the religious stories gave a theoretical framework which allowed the observational discoveries of primitive science to be tied together into easily memorised and predictive theories.
Graves even suggests that the sequence of the letters of the alphabet contains important knowledge about tree biology. I'm not sure I could go that far with him.
Why did they cancel ghost whisperer?
Because it is a terrible show and the technology in it is completely fake. If ghosts do exist, they don't know how to talk to them and the people on that show are doing nothing to communicate with them
The Frank's Box was one that cycles through random frequencies and allegedly allows spirits to manipulate said frequencies so that certain broadcasted words can be used to respond to questions. We covered the Frank's Box in a previous article and having seen it in action I can't say that there is much happening here other than random words that may or may not be relevant to a posed question.
The Ghost Radar is the newest of these gadgets to make their way to the public for mass consumption. For a few bucks anyone with an Android phone, iPhone, iPad, and BlackBerry devices can get an ad free version of the software. I am not going to bother explaining how it works, as I am not sure it even does. I have used it in places where no known activity is said to exist and I still get random words spoken and ghostly blips on the radar. These random words could mean something to someoneone and if you were to listen with a group of friends there is bound to be more relevant "hits".
The interesting part is that when investigating an allegedly haunted location, the words spoken tend to take on more meaningful logic.
During a recent investigation at Historic Fort Morgan we heard some words spoken that were VERY relevant if the spirit of someone who had been stationed at the previous fort that stood on the spot of Fort Morgan was hanging around with us. Fort Bowyer guarded Mobile Bay prior to the erection of Fort Morgan. It was taken by the British during the war of 1812. The sad part is that this battle as well as the Battle of New Orleans should never have happened because the Treaty of Ghent had been signed the previous Christmas Eve and the war had officially ended. Because of the difficulty getting communications to these points neither side was aware the war had ended. Two battles raged after the war had ended and lives were pointlessly lost.
Obviously, U.S. Soldiers who lost the fort in the War of 1812 had very strong feelings about these Europeans. As evidenced by the responses we got on the ghost radar. Someone Doesn't Like Europeans
We also had a female investigator present and the application pointed out the fact that she was in a Fort where women were not allowed by saying "Female". We assume that's what it meant, it could have just been a random word. During another session with the Ghost Radar the word "melted" was spoken which could have been completely random if there had not been a fire at the fort in the enlisted men's quarters, roughly in the spot where we were sitting. The main problem I have with this software is that it speaks ALL THE TIME. Granted, it became much more accurate in a place suspected of having paranormal activity and the words spoken were very relevant to the history of the fort. Or, they were just random words generated by a silly cellphone application and we inflated the importance of these spoken words so that they fit within the context of our investigation.
The application did not allow the words to respond directly to us, not that we experienced anyway. We would ask questions and there would be words spoken that seemed relevant to our surroundings but did not answer our questions directly. Reviews on the company's site indicate that others have had moderate success with spirits using the software to directly interact with them, this group however was not so fortunate.
As with any tech, the jury is out on this tool. We will use it a few more times to determine if it provides any value whatsoever. I am not comfortable using this tool as "evidence" when there is no proof of its scientific value, but it does add an interesting dimension to those slow investigations where you feel like you are simply entertaining yourself. The name of the application again is Ghost Radar and the maker of the application is Spud Pickles.
Is the Thomas house in niles Ohio haunted?

Was there really a red room In the Amityville horror house?
In a show aired in 1980 called "That's Incredible", Patty Commarato, says this...
PATTY CAMMAROTO [showing red room area]: My name is Patty Cammaroto. I was friends with Allison DeFeo, the girl who was murdered with the rest of her family here in 1974. I'm going to show you the mysterious red room that's so noted for in the book. This door, which they say was never here, was here, is here, always will be here I suppose. This is the red room. Nothing more than a storage area where Allison and her brothers and I used to keep toys. Just red you know? There was never any feeling of spirits, presence or ghosts or any sort of thing like that. It was just a play area [where] we used to keep toys. Nothing more than that.
What is the legend of the hairy toe?
What you are about to read is based on true events that occurred on Friday the 13th of March 1987 at roughly 11:29pm. The woman in the story goes by the name of Mary Aldridge, who wrote a series about sightings she had had in the woodland where she lived. She dissappeared after officials found a letter discribing her fear of a possible 'reaping'. Mary Aldridge was never seen after this event. You may be alarmed by what you read.
Once there was a woman called Mary who went out in the woods to dig up some roots to cook for her dinner. She spotted something funny sticking out of the leaves and dug around until she uncovered a human toe. Mary was extremely hungry, she hadn't eaten a proper meal for weeks, there was some good juicy meat on that toe which she thought would make a delicious dinner. So Mary put it in her basket and took it home to her cottage in the woods.
When she got back to her cottage, Mary boiled up a pot full of this toe meat and it slowly simmered into a soup like mixture, which she ate for dinner that night. It was the best meal she'd had in weeks! Mary then went to bed that night with a full stomach and a big smile on her yellow teeth.
Along about midnight, a cold wind started blowing in the tops of the trees around her house. Local officials reported new of a large black cloud or some sort of stom covering the sky above. Mary awoke and peered out of her window. She says she may have gone mad, but she knows she could a hear a strained croaking. The words seemed odd, it was is if someone was whispereing, "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!"
Inside the house, Mary stirred uneasily in her bed and nervously pulled the covers up over her ears.
From the woods there came a loud thud noise as the wind whistled and jerked at the treetops.
She could hear the hollow whisper once again, coming from the clearing in the Forrest accross from her cottage, "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!" Inside the house, Mary shuddered and turned over in her sleep.
A stomp, stomp, stomping sound came from the garden path outside the cottage.
The night creatures shivered in their burrows as a hollow voice howled: "Hairy toe! Hairy toe! I want my hairy toe!"
Inside the house, Mary snapped awake. Her whole body shook with fright as she listened to the breathy noises in her garden. Jumping out of bed, she ran to the door and barred it. Once the cottage was secure, she lay back down to sleep.
Mary the saw the front door of the cottage burst open with a bang, snapping the bar in two and sending it flying into the corners of the room. There came the loud thudding noise again, like giant feet walking up the stairs. Peeping out from under the covers, Mary saw a huge figure filling her doorway.
"Where is it Mary, it has gone."
Mary sat bolt upright in terror and screamed, "I ATE your hairy toe!"
"Yes, you did," the ghostly figure whispered gently as it advanced into the room, gliding slowly towards Marys bed.
No one living in the region ever saw Mary Aldridge again. The only clue to her disappearance was a giant footprint a neighbor found pressed deep into the loose soil of the meadow beside the house. The footprint was missing the left big toe. Locals also believe this is the reason as to why many of the villagers had also experienced these 'reapings' and felt ghostly presences since this date.
The story was originally told by a local man Thomas Esscott, who reportedly heard Mary screaming into the night and when investigating, found a large bloody severed toe pressed against the window of her bedroom. Even historians cannot figure out the myth behind this truly bizarre haunting.
How can you tell if you're a ghost whisperer?
Well, I suppose you can call yourself a Ghost Whisperer when you can communicate with the deceased and prove to others that you are actually in contact with the person you say you are contacting.

Is twelve angels significant in paranormal?
In the book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, the bible speaks of 12 angels guarding the 12 gates of the Kingdom of God.
Revelation 21:12 (new living translation)
"The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates."
If you're finding something referring to "twelve angels" in a paranormal sense, then it may indeed have some sort of deeper meaning. Here is where I found my information, if you'd like to do a bit more research yourself:

Why is 666 considered to be the devil's number?
The Number of the Beast is described in the Book of Revelation In the Greek manuscripts, the Number is rendered in Greek numerical form or sometimes literally as "six hundred and sixty-six.
Scholars such as Dr. Ellen Aitken have speculated that the reference to this passage was a way of speaking in code about then contemporary figures about whom it would have been politically dangerous to criticize openly.
Many scholars believe that 666 refers to a Roman Emperor such as Nero (whose name, written in Aramaic, was valued at 666, using the Hebrew numerology of gematria, a manner of speaking against the emperor without the Roman authorities knowing). AnswerCertainly, the number is believed to refer in code to a Roman emperor or some other enemy. Thus, it is politically and not divinely inspired. However, some early manuscripts give the number of the beast as 616. Either way, it can't really be called the "devil's number". Answer:The reason for the difference in the "number of the beast": In some of the early translations of Revelation from one language to the next, the numerology changed.
Answer
There is another interpretation of 666 (well, ok, really there are thousands depending on how creative you get): 666, being the number 6 repeated 3, could be a representation of man (created on the 6th day) perfected (the numbers 3 and 7 frequently allude to the idea of completion or perfection).
This could be literal, in that the "perfected man" is a beast (without knowledge or wisdom as in the first days, prior to eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge) or that the Antichrist (more accurately antichrists) will view themselevs as being perfected and use this as justification for their attack on God.
Though, as I alluded to before, 666 is one of the most enigmatic numbers in Christianity, with no correlation to anything else within the Bible, and so assumes that the people reading this would be "in on the secret": this could be a concealed name (as mentioned above), some key symbol in a mystical/magical/occult tradition, or could just be someone pulling a number out of thin air and watching people rationalize it.
It might mean nothing at all.
Do dead people come alive at night?
No. There has never been any proof of this and there have been billions of people who have seen dead people at night.

The song is "All Stop" by StangeLove. It isn't commercially available. The artist licenses music for use in Film, Television, etc. You can listen to it on the website of the Licensing company that handles this artist. * Go to http:/www.riptidemusic.com * Select "Artists" at the top of the page * Choose the "Pop" music tab down below * Select "StrangeLove" from the artist list on the left At the time I wrote this, "All Stop" was song #3 in the music player. I searched for this for over a year, and am so glad that I can now listen to the whole song. I came upon it in an episode of Ghost Whisperer, by the way.
