| July 30th 2010 KFC Secret Recipe Has Top Security A Video About The Move One of America's most prized national secrets - recipe for Kentucky Fried Chicken - has been moved to a location that rivals Fort Knox in security! Representatives of the KFC corporation confirm that Colonel Harlan Sanders' handwritten recipe, itemizing the 11 herbs and spices used to make his finger-lickin' good fried chicken, was removed from the secure filing cabinet behind a triple-locked door inside a vault in the corporate offices. The yellowed paper was placed in a lockbox and handcuffed to security expert Bo Dietl, who rode in an armored car with a police escort to a secure location while his firm beefed up measures to keep the prized secret safe. Sanders devised the recipe in 1940, and saw it transform his tiny Kentucky resturant into a globe-spanning fast food giant. Since Sanders' death in 1980, only two executives have access to the recipe cabinet at any time. |

| July 28th 2010 Titanic Artifacts On Display A Video Interview With Premier Exhibitions VP The treasures of the Titanic have reached their final resting place in a non-descript Atlanta warehouse. The $200 million collection of fine china, leather goods, historic documents and luxury items spent decades lying 2.5 miles under the North Atlantic. But now, they've been painstakingly restored by their official guardians, Premier Exhibitions. "It's like the Smithsonian - you could be here for weeks and not see everything," says Leslie Cone, an assistant registrar with Premier Exhibitions. "There's just endless surprises and wonders in this collection." Around 200 relics from their collection of 5,500 artifacts salvaged from the wreck of the Titanic have been exhibited at the Georgia Aquarium. The rest of the items, from ladies' slippers to water-stained diaries, are kept in special rooms with strictly controlled temperatures and humidity. Expertssay leather cases kept many of the relics from being claimed by the sea after the "unsinkable" ship collided with an iceberg in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. At that point in history, leather was tanned using chemicals that coincidentally keep marine microbes at bay. Preserved shoes still bear the imprints of their owners' soles and perfume vials stored in leather purses still contain sweet-smelling oils. Elsewhere on the ship, undersea recovery specialists discovered green bottles that still contain a few sips of champagne and tea sets with the White Star Line's distinctive red logo. |

| July 27th 2010 Uwanted Tub Visit A Photo Of The Snakes In Tub A beautiful blonde reclining in a bathtub as it filled with relaxing warm water got the scare of her life when a snake popped out of the faucet and slithered against her toes! "I was screaming like I was being attacked," recalls Elena Trowell, 22, of Ocean Ridge, Florida. "I was so freaked out. Panicked." Her cries of terror brought boyfriend Bryan Litowich racing to open the tub's glass door so she could leap out. As the skinny foot-long reptile wiggled around the tub, the frightened couple ran to the kitchen to grab a Tupperware container. They got another surprise when they returned to find an even larger serpent had joined the first one. After Litowich, 26, captured the slippery intruders in the plastic container, they drove to a pet store and bought a glass tank for the snakes. Trowell reported the bizarre inccident to city utility officials and the Ocean Ridge police. But experts, who identified the reptiles as corn snakes, were skeptical. "It's almost impossible," says Joe Felegi, owner of Critter Control animal removal service. "Usually they don't come from the water faucet, but they can come up through the drains." "Now saying that, in 20 years experience in dealing with wildlife conflicts, I have come to the conclusion that anything is possible." |

| July 26th 2010 Ghost Cars And Screaming Skulls A Video About A Ghost Car Case That Has Been Solved What's the real story behind chilling tales of screaming skulls, phantom truckers and other bizarre hauntings? That's the question archaeologist and researcher Brian Haughton answers in his new book, The Lore of the Ghost (New Page Books). He analyzes hundreds of reports of ghost sightings, from medieval tales of ghostly hunting parties to encounters with mischievous poltergeists. But some of his most fascinating findings concern two varieties of eerie encounters: ghost vehicles and screaming skulls. Horror At Dusk "The main characteristic of phantom vehicles is their sudden, inexplicable appearance or disappearance in front of the witness," Haughton explains. "On some occasions, the model of the car may appear to be of vintage type, and such accounts are closely connected to stories of spectral coaches, common in the 18th and 19th centuries." Numerous ghost trucks have been seen at dusk on the roads near Bachelor's Grove cemetery in Chicago. But the deadliest highway apparition is a ghostly No. 7 bus that regularly appeared at 1:15 a.m. on the same stretch of St. Mark's Road, London, in the 1930s. Numerous crash victims reported seeing an empty bus roaring down the road toward them, and at least one motorist died while swerving to avoid it. The vehicle vanished for good after the road was straightened. 'All Hell Broke Loose' There are at least 27 verified examples of screaming skulls on display at various farmhouses and wealthy estates, Haughton reports. "There is usually a traditional tale to explain how the skull came to be in the house, and how, when the object was removed from its original place, all hell broke loose - there were terrible storms, wild screaming, outbreaks of fire, poltergeist-type activity and even death," he explains. One of the best known examples is the Screaming Skull of Bettiscombe Manor, a 17th century mansion built in southwest England. As long as the skull sits on a beam in the attic near the chimney, everything is peaceful. One resident tossed the skull into a pond and was treated to days of screams and strange noises in the house until it was fishing back out. Tests have proved the skull is at least 3,000 years old, and shows signs of having been preserved in mineral-rich water. Some believe skulls like the one in Bettiscombe Manor are remnants of Celtic pagan rituals designed to protect ancient families from ill fortune. |

| July 24th 2010 Ghost Calls? A Video About The Crash The cell phone of a passenger killed instantly in a tragic train crash continued to call his loved ones throughout the night until rescuers found his body in the wreckage. Chuck Pexk, 49, died on impact when a Metrolink commuter smashed head-on into a freight train outside Los Angeles on September 14, 2008. But the dead man's fiancee, Andrea Katz, says she and other loved ones began receiving phone calls within minutes of the fatal collision. Throughout the night, as firefighters desperately searched for survivors, Peck's cell kept dialing. Family members received about 35 calls during a five hour period, but every time they answered, all they heard was static. "We were yelling in the phone, hang in there, baby. We're going to get you out," Katz says. "You're going to be OK." Rescuers were contacted about the mysterious calls and traced Peck's cell phone to the first car of the mangled commuter train. "They had this incredible adrenaline rush at the thought they could possibly find another survivor," says Katz. "We gave them a description and they spent the next couple of hours looking for him and they did end up finding him." "They said that he'd died immediately on impact and there was no way he could have been calling us." Katz believes the spirit of her beloved was reaching out to ease his family's fears. She's also comforted by the fact that Peck never knew what hit him. "He died instantly and he didn't suffer and when you love somebody, you couldn't ask for a better way to leave this life," Katz says. "He was just happy and didn't see it coming." Investigators never found Peck's phone, but they say there was no sign that he lived even a moment after the crash. |

Swiss adventurer Louis Palmer has driven halfway around the world in one of the $15,000 cabs of the future to prove to car manufacturers that the vehicle is a practial alternative to the gas-guzzling, greenhouse gas-spewing monstrosities they now make. During the 23,000-mile trip, he's picked up such notable passengers as Tonight Show host Jay Leno and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "If I can drive this car around the world, there's no reason why it can't become the new standard," Palmer says. "The whole world has been talking about the energy crisis. Here's a solution." The car, designed by Swiss university students, can travel 200 miles at a speed of 55 miles per hour on two fully charged batteries, which draw power from solar panels on its roof. The batteries can also be charged using an ordinary household electrical socket. Palmer sees them being used as taxis in busy cities, but there's no reason you couldn't have one in your very own garage. |

| July 22nd 2010 Lars Berglund's Stronger Paper A Video Of Lars Berglund A scientist has found a way to preserve the natural strength of cellulose fibers - the most common organic substance on Earth - and turn them into paper that's stronger than cast iron. The new paper will be as flexible as the conventional stuff, but it will never tear. It can be used to make virtually indestructible tape and even replacements for damaged body tissue. Ordinary paper is also made from cellulose fibers, but the process destroys their inherent toughness. Lars Berglund, of the Swedish Royale Institute of Technology in Stockholm, has pioneered a way to preserve that strength without transforming paper into an unbendable - an unusable - product. Berglund's paper has a strength of 214 megapascals (Mpa). Ordinary paper, at just 1 Mpa, is puny by comparison. So is cast iron, which measures 130 Mpa. |

| July 21st 2010 Shadow Identification A Picture Of A Random Satellite The hunt for terroist kingpin Osama bin Laden and other criminals is getting shadowy. NASA is working on a system that will be able to identify evil-doers from the way they walk - and it can do it from looking at their shadows! Gait analysis - the length of a person's stride, the speed at which they walk and the way they wiggle their hips when they put one foot in front of the other - is almost as accurate as fingerprints or DNA in figuring out who they are. Spy satellites are now so sensitive they can gather the necessary data from observing a moving person's shadow from space and transmit it to a computer, which then compares the images to others it has on file to come up with a positive ID. Cameras can also be placed on high buildings or carried in reconnaissance airplanes. The system is undergoing tests and should be available to police departments, the military and intelligence agencies in a few years. |

| July 20th 2010 The Bionic Eye A Video About The Tech The first benefits of a new, curved camera lens will be sharper photographic images and improved computer graphics, but the real hope is that it will lead to the holy grail of vision technology - a fully functional bionic eye that will give the miracle of sight to the blind. The camera is made from stretchable silicon, which mimics perfectly the curved shape of the human eye. Sensors pick up light reflected off surrounding objects, convert the light into digital format and transmit the data to a computer, which assembles it into a perfectly focused picture. The standard flat lenses now in use produce a distorted image. "Traditional cameras focus in the middle of the shot, but leave the edges fuzzy," says Professor Yonggang Huang, of Northwestern University in Chicago. "Because this camera has a curved lens, it gives clear vision across the entire plane, just like human sight." "I can envision the day when a device such as this is transplanted into a human eye socket to give the gift of sight." |

| July 19th 2010 Noel Edmonds And His Orbs? A Video Of Noel Edmonds A television host who is being followed by two glowing orbs of energy believes the bouncing balls of light are the souls of his parents! Noel Edmonds, a 59-year-old British TV personality, says he finds the globes a source of strength and encouragement. "Orbs are little bundles of positive energy," Edmonds explains. "They look like little round planets but they come in all shapes and sizes." "Conventional photography can't pick them up, but digital cameras can." "My belief is that these are something to do with some form of positive energy and, possibly because I miss my parents like crazy, I like to think they're them." Edmonds' father Dudley died in 1990 of prostate cancer, and his mother Lydia was claimed by a stroke in 2003. "I've got loads of photographs of me at home with two orbs that visit me," Edmonds explains. "The two that I have are about the size of melons." "One sits on my arm and the other is usually in the back of the shot, sitting just over my right shoulder." Edmonds says he's not an "evangelist" for his beliefs about orbs, but adds, "I don't pour scorn on any idea either." Paranormal researchers have investigated reports of orb encounters for decades. "Because of their nature - only appearing on certain kinds of equipmen, often spontaneously fading in and out of view - orbs are a very difficult object of study," explains parapsychologist Howard Klumpf, of Los Angeles. "However, we have collected enough evidence to know that these are more than figments of witnesses' imaginations." "Whatever thay are, wherever they come from, orbs genuinely do seem to be attracted to certain people, and they do appear to have some kind of intelligence. They don't bounce randomly around a room but seem to know where they want to go and how long they want to stay there." "Once we understand orbs I believe we'll have solved some major mysteries about the nature of the human soul." |

| July 16th 2010 Andrew Zukowski And His House A Photo Of The Family He Bothered A young couple's dream house became nightmare manor after the home's former owner began a terror campaign to run them out of town! John and Jamie Petree were thrilled with the spacious house, which came on the market as the result of foreclosure. The parents of a 2-year-old daughter and infant son spent $25,000 on remodeling. But any future plans were put on hold when Andrew Zukowski, the previous homeowner, decided he wanted to move back in! Eight years of horror started with Zukowski going door-to-door, asking neighbors to sign a petition to have "his" home returned. He stood on the street outside the house, taking pictures of visitors, writing down their license plate numbers and blocking the driveway with his truck to prevent cars from coming or going. The Petress, of Gahanna, Ohio, pressed charges of menacing and stalking, but a judge dropped the case after he ruled Zukowski was mentally incompetent. In fact, the Polish immigrant had been arrested for criminal trespass and felonious assault just days after his eviction for taking a swing at the investor who bought the place. But those charges were also dropped after the judge ruled him mentally incompetent! Meanwhile, John installed a security system and called the cops whenever he saw Zukowski lurking nearby. Then in May 2003, Jamie was confronted by the dispossessed man and his wife, Teresa, at her front doorstep. "I was thinking that this house will be ours," Zukowski said. "I don't know. Maybe somebody wants to give back this house because they made a mistake." Jamie hit the panic button, setting off the alarmand alerting the cops. But the horrified couple was once again left to fend for themselves after an appeals court dismissed the case. When officials refused to order Zukowski to be committed to a mental facility, or at least be closely monitored, the Petress finally gave up and moved to a rental house. "We're not letting our home go because we can't pay," says John, who lost more than $100,000 on his investment. "We're letting our house go because it's unsafe." |

| July 13th 2010 Death And Out Of Body Experiences A Video About OOBE Death doesn't happen all at once, experts say. "It's more like taking a journey than flipping off a switch," explains physiologist Martin Kuttner, of Boston. "A process takes place, step by step." First, the heart stops beating, which means you're clinically dead. Brain activity ceases, but your brain itself will remain unharmed for as long as four minutes. If rescue workers keep your heart beating and your lungs working artificially, your brain can stay "off" but alive for more than an hour. This is the period when out-of-body-experiences take place. Without outside help, lack of oxygen eventually starts shutting the brain down for good. By the time damage reaches the brain stem, the simplest part of the brain that regulates heartbeat and breathing, there's no chance of recovery. Now, you're legally dead - and ready to enter a better place. |

| July 12th 2010 Researching The Afterlife A Video Of Dr. Sam Parnia Scientists hoping to glimpse behind the final curtain have launched the world's largest study into Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). Medical researchers will spend three years interviewing and analyzing 1,500 hospital patients who return from the brink of death. Doctors also plan to scientifically test heart attack patients at 25 hospitals in Britain and the United States. Those whose hearts stop beating will be subjected to brain scans while they're being resuscitated. Prior research has determined that 10 to 20 percent of cardiac arrest survivors report leaving their bodies and looking down on themselves from the ceiling. The research team will place pictures on high shelves that can only be seen from above. If any patients can describe the pictures, that will be the first experimental proof that out-of-body-experiences are real. Many patients who have gone through NDEs report hearing voices telling them to return to the living or reassuring them that their loved ones still watch over them. Skeptical scientists dismiss these reports as wishful thinking or false memories, but others believe they offer a unique window into the afterlife. Study leader Dr. Sam Parnia, of the University of Southampton, says the study could change the way we think about life, death and the human soul. "If you can demonstrate that consciousness continues after the brain switches off, it allows for the possibility that the consciousness is a separate entity," Parnia explains. "What people experience during the period after the brain ceases functioning provides a unique window of understanding into what we are all likely to experience during the dying process." "This is a mystery that we can now subject to scientific study." |

| July 11th 2010 Santa Muerte A Video About Santa Muerte Prayers offered to a forbidden saint - the grisly embodiment of death itself - have started backfiring, leaving desperate worshipers saddled with consequences that range from the bizarre to the truly terrifying. Prayers for financial help have resulted in bankruptcies, sick worshipers have suddenly died and those who pleaded for justice against their enemies have seen their foes spontaneously healed or blessed with outrageous good fortune. "These occurrences are too profound to be ignored," explains antropologist Rosaria Vega Bocanegra, of Mexico City. "Even the most devout followers of the Santa Muerte cult are talking about these 'miracles in reverse.'" since the 1960s, outlaws and peasants across Mexico and the American South-west have flocked to Santa Muerte, or Saint Death. Usually, the frightening figure is potrayed as a black- or white-cloaked skeleton carrying a scythe. Archbishop David Romo, of the Traditional Mex-USA Church in Mexico City, recently gave Saint Death a new look, introducing a beautiful statue of a porcelain-faced woman in an elegant golden gown, with long brown hair and thin, elegant fingers. "This image is one of justice, of freedom, but above all, one that reveals the face of God," Romo declared at the time. But over the past five months, followers began reporting bizarre outbreaks of bad luck after praying to Santa Muerte. "I'm not welcome in my local church, so I prayed directly to Santa Muerte to help with the arthritis in my right hand," explains convicted drug smuggler Pedro Gonzalez. "The next day, my fingers froze in place. I haven't been able to move my hand since." Juana Dominguez, a farmer from Nogales, Arizona, petitioned Santa Muerte to find her daughter a job after she was laid off from a beauty salon. "Instead, the next weekend, I hear the salon owner won $200 at bingo and another $500 on a lottery scratch-off ticket," Dominguez declares. "But did she hire my daughter back? No, she went on vacation to Los Angeles." Catholic Church officials have never formally accepted Santa Muerte because of the saint's links to black magic and satanism. "This only illustrates the dangers of dedicating your prayers to figures of darkness," warns Father Arthur Higgins, of Carlsbad, New Mexico. |

The 33-year-old mom, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, used her 15-year-old daughter's name to enroll in Ashwaubenon High School, where she attended cheerleading practices and even went to a pool party at the coach's house. But officials became suspicious after the $134.50 check she wrote for her cheerleading uniform bounced. And after she only attended the first day of classes, they began investigating - and discovered the woman's daughter was already enrolled in a school in Pahrump, Nevada, where she lives with her grandmother. The woman now faces charges that carry as much as six years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The official complaint says the woman, who has a history of identity theft charges, wanted to get a high school degree and become a cheerleader because she didn't have a childhood of her own. |

| July 9th 2010 From Fish To Fingers A Video About The Evolution Of Panderichthys Scientists are giving a 385 million-year-old fish monster a hand - because that's where our fingers come from! The prehistoric creature known as Panderichthys has been under scientific scrutiny for years. It's a large, toothy fish that bears a strange resemblance to today's crocodiles, with fins wide and strong enough to act as limbs on land. In the 1990s, paleontologists decided that Panderichthys fins were simply an unusual evolutionary offshoot, and that human hands and feet developed separately. But a recent study by Dr. Catherine Bolsvert, of Uppsala University in Sweden, used X-rays and computer scans to take a second look at the sea monster's fins. Bolsvert and her colleagues found finger-like divisions in Panderichthys' fin bones, proving they were gradually turning into the hands and feet of land-based animals. "If you'd like to see where our hands came from, point a finger at Panderichthys," explains biotechnologists Dr. Bernard von Malkau, a specialist in marine fossils. |

Massive Mongolian herdsman Bao Xishun, 7-foot-9 from head to toe, made world headlines when he married petite Xia Shujuan, 5-foot-6, in July 2007. Now, they're looking forward to a child whose head is in the clouds. "I hope he or she can be about 6-foot-6," Bao explains. "Then he or she can play basketball." In 2008, Boa regained the title of World's Tallest Man after Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk refused to be measured by Guinness-certified medical experts. stadnyk, a former veterinarian, is reported to measure 8-foot-9, but dislikes the attention he gets from his height. Bao, 57, views his unusual stature as more of a blessing - especially since it attracted companies willing to sponsor his elaborate, traditional wedding to Xia, a 29-year-old shopkeeper. "You need to have feelings for someone to be in love," Xia says about her romance. "Even if he is a big shot, you can't love him without feelings." Bao was normal height until he turned 16, when he started growing rapidly for reasons doctors have yet to determine. He joined the army, where he was recruited for a basketball team, then returned to his home in China's Inner Mongolia region. He was first recognized as the tallest man in the world in 2006, after beating Radhouane Charbib, of Tunisia, by .078 inches! |

Twinkle Dwivedi, 13, oozes blood directly from her pores, dripping from her eyes, nose, face and the soles of her feet. She's needed multiple transfusions, and sometimes wakes up covered in a layer of dried blood. But scientists have been unable to find out what causes the bizarre affliction. "I used to cry every time it happened," says Dwivedi, whose condition only developed a year ago. "But now, I just keep quiet." Researchers at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi believes Dwivedi may suffer from a rare form of a disorder that prevents blood from clotting normally. But the teen's family, from Uttar Pradesh, India, can't afford expensive private treatments. "We pray every day that the doctors will find a cure for her," says 21-year-old sister, Parul. |

| July 6th 2010 Stigmata Reviewed A Video About Stigmata Religious scholars are investigating a new rash of stigmata - ordinary people miraculously afflicted with the wounds of Jesus, bleeding from their hands, feet and forehead, as Christ did on the cross. "The appearance of stigmata is well-at-tested in the histories of the saints," explains Catholic theologian Paul Irena. "But what we are currently observing is dramatically different." "Instead of unusually devout Christians being blessed with His wounds as a reflection of profound faith, these are ordinary people - in some cases, unbelievers." "Although the open wounds are not painful, they can be deeply bewildering when they appear without warning." Over five months, experts have investigated at least 27 reports of stigmata from California, Nebraska and Oregon, as well as in countries as distant as China, South Africa, Uruguay and Kazakhstan. All follow the same pattern. At noon on an otherwise ordinary day, the victim suddenly notices blood dripping from his or her hands and feet. Medical exams find puncture wounds consistent with having a nail hammered through the extremities, but there is little pain, and the wound vanishes overnight. Several of the victims report the stigmata reappearing between three and seven times, either day after day or on the same day of the week. Stephen Corson, a 36-year-old paralegal from Klamath Falls, Oregon, was mountian-biking with three friends when one of them noticed a trail of red fluid behind his bicycle. "It was coming from my socks," Corson recalls. "When I stopped, I noticed my hands were wet." "Then I realized my handlebars and forehead were covered in blood." "I was absolutely stunned." Corson's group decided to ride toward the nearest hospital, but by the time they got there, the bleeding had stopped and no wounds were visible. The next day, punctures once again suddenly opened on Corson's hands, feet and forehead. "I ran out of my office to my doctor. She saw me right away and ran all kinds of tests, but was just as stumped as I was." "The wounds haven't come back, and that's fine with me. But I have to wonder if I was chosen for this for some reason." Lucia Rivera, a 58-year-old office manager from Durazno, Uruguay, was typing on a computer when she noticed bright red droplets on the keys. "I saw two small circles of blood on my palms, and watched them grow bigger until blood was pouring off my hands," Rivera recalls. "I couldn't help myself -I screamed out loud and jumped out of my seat." "One of my co-workers saw my hands, crossed herself and began praying, but another person called an ambulance and asked how I'd injured myself." "I could only say I hadn't done this. I didn't even feel it happening." Doctors discovered similar wounds on the soles of Rivera's feet. Before they could stitch the wounds closed, the bleeding stopped. Rivera, a Methodist, says she never thought of herself as especially religious. "Some people at my office try to treat me like some special, sacred person now, but that only annoys me," she explains. "I'm nobody special." |

| July 5th 2010 Amazing Dog Mothers All A Photo Of The Keebler With Kitten A tiny Chihuahua named Keebler is producing life-saving milf for orphaned kittens and puppies - even though she hasn't been pregnant in years! Dorothea Poggi is a dedicated animal lover who finds homes for the offspring of feral cats and stray dogs living in her Bronx, New York, neighborhood. And her generous pet is an invaluable ally. Poggi discovered her pooch could lactate on demand after a feral female was hit and killed by a car. "We didn't know she had kittens, but Keebler showed me where they were," Poggi recalls. "First, I had to nurse them with a bottle, but in four or five days, Keebler had milk made!" The 9-year-old four-legged super-mom has also nursed pit bulls and even cleaned and cuddled a litter of baby squirrels for weeks. "She'll take any animal and try to nurture it," Poggi says. "She's a power mom." |

| July 4th 2010 Cat And Chicken Best Friends A Picture Of The Two Other chickens would get their feathers ruffled by a feline suitor, but not Gladys - she's egg-static over Snowy the cat! The unlikely romance began when Jane Etheridge brought the chick into her farmhouse after a hungry fox devoured its 13 siblings. "Gladys wouldn't have survived outside," says Etheridge. "So we kept her inside where she was warm." "Snowy cleaned her and washed her, and now she's 10 weeks old and our pet." 'She comes in and bounces up and down in front of Snowy and he puts his arm around her." Etheridge, 69, Middleton, England, says Gladys is so attached to her furry friend - even though they'd be natural enemies in the wild - that she won't go outside without him. "He's a very strange cat and was actually feral when we got him, completely wild," says Etheridge. "But now, he's all too human and a real softie. They're an odd couple, but we love them both very much." |

| July 2nd 2010 Tahlequah's Bigfoot A Photo Of A Footprint Left Behind Bigfoot is on the prowl again! That's the shocking conclusion of terrified witnesses who've recently been stalked by an immense humanoid with an overpowering, musky stench. The rash of sightings began north of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, earlier this year. Sheryl Mast, who lives in an undeveloped area off State Highway 82 near Gideon, first heard thudding footsteps and smelled a pungent odor. Soon, she and her boyfriend found unusually large footprints and heard low growls outside their window at night. One night, something slapped the side of her home, broke a padlock and vanished into the wilderness. "It only lasted five minutes but we were scared to death, Mast says. She believes one of her dogs a Jack Russell terrier, has had an even more terrifying encounter. One night, Mast, her boyfriend and another friend were chatting outside when the dog suddenly fell silent. Then, the little Jack Russell began chasing something tall and furry through the woods. The creature tore the limb off a tree, then vanished. Next, Mast heard a loud thump from a trailer on the property, where she found the dog panting in terror - possibly from being thrown by the being's massive hands, she says. Following that episode, something broke the door to the dog pen. Mast believes her location - along a well-worn path between two creeks - is an ideal habitat for a wild humanoid. "We have no deer here, and that's strange for an area by two creeks," Mast explains. "So many appearances make me think we're getting closer to a confrontation." "I feel like Fay Wray here. Maybe he's looking for a girl-friend." |

| July 1st 2010 Church Apologizes To Darwin A Video About The Apology Nearly two centuries after Chales Darwin first put forward the theory of evolution, he's gotten an official apology from the church that persecuted him. Senior bishops of the Church of England admitted their original, anti-evolution stance was based on a "misunderstanding" of Darwin's discovery. In 1859, Darwin published On the Origin of Species, which offered proof that complex life forms descended from simpler ones over millions of years, and that similar living things - like humans and chimpanzees - had common ancestors. The Reverend Dr. Malcom Brown penned the apology, which reads: "Charles Darwin, 200 years from your birth, the Church of England owes you an apology for misunderstanding you and, by getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand you still." "While it is not difficult to see why evolutionary thinking was offensive at the time, on reflection it is not such an earth-shattering idea." Brown says there's nothing incompatible between Darwin's work and Christian belief that God created the world and everything in it. Darwin's great-great-grandson, Andrew Darwin, is less than impressed by the apology. "Why bother?" he declares. "When an apology is made after 200 years, it's not so much to right a wrong, but to make the person or organization making the apology feel better." |
