GHOST EXISTENCE!!!!!!!!!!!

A ghost can be defined in several ways depending on different situations. One of the definitions refers ghost to a person's spirit or soul who has died. This definition is used commonly among all! There have been several doubts regarding the existence of the ghost and disputes too whether ghosts are just imaginations or part of objective existence. Reports say that ghosts have taken shape of vehicles, animals and humans. Parapsychologists have undertaken the task to study about ghosts.

The existence of ghost is met with the shape they exist which is usually in human shape very rarely animal ghost are encountered. It is said that it does not consists of any solid matter. Different parts of the world have different theories about the ghosts. The Western theory related to ghosts is that ghost is semi-transparent and does not interact or touch any physical objects directly. They state that paranormal ghosts are souls that could not find rest after death and they wander here and there to fulfill their goals. It is said that this is the time for them to take revenge thus killing people and making hindrances as seen in many of the movies.

There are many who do not accept the existence of ghosts. Scientific research disbelieves the fact that ghosts are disembodied souls or spirit, but then they prove that these ghosts are impressions of psychic energy left behind by a deceased person who is still living. They state that any tragedy in a person's life might cause mental energy of some kind, which would be released to the world, and this energy might be experienced by many other people who are sensitive to the presence of such energy.

Ectoplasm is referred by the parapsychologists as the substance from which spirits and ghosts are made of. Such an explanation of ghost classifies it in the same category as that of preternatural unexplained phenomena as telekinesis or poltergeists, ESP and telepathy. Such a definition always makes it difficult to explain about the ghosts that tend to answer questions and those which foretell the future etc.

An astonishing fact is that the best details about the existence of ghost can be obtained from Garuda Purana, which is script from Vedic tradition of the Hindu religion. This Purana says that people who do sins will be reborn as ghosts. Garuda Purana explains the things done by the ghosts and the food they eat. It is said that they consume vomit, waste, cough, urine and tears and prefer these to be the things that they eat and drink.

In many cases, human psychology plays a major role in ghost sightings. In chilling situations where ghosts are associated with a natural animal response may make the hair rise which could be mistaken for a chill. Illusions can be created by one by seeing an eerie figure. This occurs as a result of the disability to sharply distinguish shapes in case of peripheral vision. It is a proved fact that sound waves with frequency lower than 20 hertz called infrasound is inaudible, but now it is proved by the British scientist Richard Lord and Richard Wiseman that these infrasound would be the reason for causing humans to feel a presence in the room or even to cause unexplained feelings of dread or anxiety!

ALIENS ON UNDERGROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rumors about underground towns appeared for the first time in 1946. The person to launch the rumors was Richard Shaver – writer, journalist and scientist. His incredible story about contacts with aliens living under the ground was published in Amazing Stories Magazine. Shaver said that he had spent several weeks living under the ground with demon-looking aliens, whose descriptions can be found in ancient legends and fairytales. Almost every nation has a tale of an ancient race, who settled in planet Earth long before humans appeared on it. Those underground creatures are described as inconceivably talented, brilliant and culturally educated – they do not want to have anything in common with humans

One could refer to the story from the American writer as a fruit of his vivid imagination. However, hundreds of readers responded to the publication. They wrote that they had visited underground cities, talked to their residents and saw unimaginable technical inventions, which guaranteed a comfortable existence in the very depth of the planet. Furthermore, the technologies of underground aliens give them an opportunity to control the minds of humans.

The unbelievable story exerted an immense influence on scientists and gave an incentive to the study of paranormal activities.

English astronomer of the 17th century, Edmund Halley, writers Jules Verne, Edgar Allan Poe and some others wrote in their works that planet Earth is a hollow sphere. American authorities were preparing a special scientific mission in 18-19 centuries to explore the Earth's hollow depth.

The scientists of the Third Reich were very interested in the mysterious underground world too. A special top secret expedition was organized in 1942. German scientists also hoped to install new radar systems under the ground and draw closer to global reign. Unfortunately, the outcome of the intrigue  is not known, but the hypothesis of the underground civilization developed further on during the second half of the 20th century.

In 1963, two American coal miners, David Fellin and Henry Throne, found a large door in a tunnel, behind which they discovered a marble stairway. In England, miners can hear the sounds of mechanical devices under the ground, as they dig a tunnel. An English miner said that they had also found a stairway to an underground well. The sound of machines became more distinct, and the workers fled in fear. When they returned to the tunnel, there were no stairs and no entrance to the well.

An American satellite took very interesting photographs at the end of the 1970s. The photographs were published in many Western scientific magazines: the pictures depicted a dark, regularly shaped spot on the North Pole. The photographs were not defective: similar pictures depicting the same dark spot on the pole were taken several years later.

Anthropologist James McKenna explored an ill-famed cave in the State of Idaho. McKenna and other members of the expedition could hear screams and moans, as they were moving hundreds meters deep into the cave. The researchers found human skeletons soon, but they had to stop their quest: the smell of brimstone was unbearable.

Geologists do not share the theory of the Earth's huge cavity, although they do not exclude a possibility of numerous large hollow spaces in planet's depths. Human life is hardly possible in those cavities: the temperature is too high and there is very little oxygen there. Some researchers believe that the underground civilization might be of an extraterrestrial origin. Aliens were probably tired of people's eternal wars and atrocities, and moved under the ground, from where they comfortably observed the development of the mankind. What if UFOs appear in the sky from under the ground, not from other galaxies? However, if planet Earth is hollow inside, someone should have found the gateway to the underground world long ago. A group of American scientists believes that underground cities exist on Earth in the fourth dimension. When the Earth's electromagnetic field changes from time to time, entrances to the tunnels open, and accidental “visitors” may see the underground cities and their inhabitants.

One of the theories says that many mysterious constructions, like the English Stonehendge for example, were built to designate entrances to underground cities. If there is a reasonable race living under the ground, it would be an explanation to a lot of inexplicable phenomena.

WEREWOLVES!!!!!!!!!

Werewolves are a race of supernatural shapeshifters. There are a variety of different shapeshifters, collectively known as 'werecreatures' inhabiting the Pandemonium Universe. Werecreatures are born in a specific form, apparently of that race, be it human, wolf, bear, jackal, etc., and after puberty they experience an awakening into their transformative abilities. In this article we will be dealing primarily with werewolves as they are the most common race of werecreatures. In general, the biology of the different werecreature races operate in the same manner, so werewolves are as good an example as any.

Birth Form

Traditionally werewolves mate within their own species, but because of some quirk of biology they are also able to interbreed with humans and wolves.

Werewolves are born into the same form as their mother. If their mother is human, they are born in human form. If their mother is wolf, they are born in wolf form. If their mother is a werewolf who was born in human form, they will also be born in human form. If their mother is a werewolf who was born in wolf form, they will also be born in wolf form. It is usual for a female werewolf to revert to her birth form while giving birth. It is thusly that certain strains of werewolves, those successively born in wolf or human form, develop through the female line.

The terms for werewolves born in the different forms are "born of the wolf" and "born of man".

It is thought that in ancient times all werewolves were born into wolf form, and that it was not until some depraved individuals began mating with humans that werewolves began being born in human form. It was reasoned that wolf form was the werewolf's "true" form and that the human form was merely a survival strategy assumed in order to more easily bring down human prey. These views are now somewhat outdated, although they simmer just below the surface when issues of cooperation with the humans come up in conclave. Today, the majority of tribes active in society at large consist mostly of those werewolves who are born of man. Although some werewolf purists still cling to that ancient bias, most modern werewolves accept those born of the wolf and those born of man on equal footing.

Bloodline

Those werewolves that are born from both parents who are werewolves are the mainstay of werewolf society, the pure-bloods. Most Elders of tribes and those who perform the unglamorous tasks of making the tribe function are pure-bloods.

Due to the tendency to interbreed with compatible races, werewolves are not always born into werewolf communities. In cases where a werewolf breeds with a wolf or human, a half-blood may result. Half-bloods are physically weaker than pure-bloods, giving credence to the claims by purists that breeding with non-weres weakens the race. Although their detractors are swift to point out that half-bloods create children indistinguishable from pure-bloods. Half-bloods are often raised at the fringes of werewolf society. Some grow up with their non-werewolf parent not knowing what they are until the change comes. Others are raised in full knowledge of what they will eventually become. The half-bloods, at least those born of man, are the strongest link between the werewolves and the humans. Being of both worlds, they tend towards being able to understand the wants and needs of both cultures. Many half-bloods end up acting as mediators and facilitators for their tribes, smoothing the relationship between weres and humans.

In some cases, the union of werewolf and non-werewolf will produce a wolf or human child who is not a were, but carries the trait in their genes. In future generations a werewolf may be born of wolf or human parents, if one of those parents has some werewolf blood. These are the recessives. Recessives are nearly twice as physically powerful as even the strongest pure-bloods. Invariably the change takes recessives entirely unawares, making for extremely confused and often dysfunctional individuals. In cases where recessives are tamed, enlightened and integrated into werewolf society they make strong, aggressive and uncompromising leaders.

Awakening

Immediately or somewhat past puberty the young werewolf will go through a second biological transformation where their ability to shapeshift will manifest. The time of awakening is always chaotic for the young were. Mental, emotional and biological changes engulf their world, much like puberty in that they often have little understanding of what is going on, but unlike puberty the process culminates in a single explosive moment when transformation first occurs.

Shapeshifting

Once a werewolf has awakened there are three forms they may transform to and from. That which is their birth form, either wolf or human; a transitional bipedal, wolf-like form; and the opposite of their birth form, either human or wolf. The assumption of the transitional form holds many religious connotations for much of werewolf society, and the assumption of that form is usually reserved for sacred events, such as; ritual, mating or combat. Many, although not all, werewolves also may assume an additional wolf form, that of an exceptionally large (300-600lbs) dire wolf. (Normal wolves rarely reach 200lbs.)

Moon Aspect

Werewolf biology for both females and males is greatly influenced by the moon and her phases. Each werewolf is bound to the phase of the moon under which they first transformed. During that phase they are especially drawn to assuming the transitional form. Werewolves with insufficient, and some may say unnatural, willpower are irresistibly compelled to assume the transitional form during the height of their moon phase. There are also other, behavioral changes that occur preceding one's moontime. A werewolf approaching their moontime will become increasing irritable, emotional and aggressive, much like a female entering her menses. It is common practice for werewolves to go on religious retreats during their moontimes.

As with humans and the zodiac, werewolves assume a psychological affinity with their particular moon phase, called their moon aspect.

Family - The Pack

Werewolf society is based on the pack. The pack is a family, biological or adoptive, of werewolves who live and function together as a unit. The emotional ties of the pack are very strong and are the central focus of werewolf existence.

Much like wolf packs, werewolf packs are led by one strong leader, often male, but sometimes female. Newly adult members must "prove" themselves in order to earn a place within the pack hierarchy. All members of the pack are loved. All members of the pack who have proven themselves as valuable members of the pack are respected. Only one may rule, and that one must prove themself to be the strongest and most capable member of the pack. Packleaders are self-elected and must prove themselves before their rule is fully accepted.

In addition to packleader, another mainstay of the werewolf pack is the packmother. Almost always a female, the packmother is the primary caretaker of the pack. The packmother is also the spiritual leader of the pack; providing guidance, perspective and a stable ever-loving presence. Aged packmothers will pass on their responsibilities of every-day pack maintenance to younger women and recede in to the background as Grandmothers, the mystics and oracles of the werewolf race.

Society - The Tribe

Much of werewolf society is organized into tribal groupings. A tribe will consist of a bunch of packs affiliated by blood or alliance. Tribes do not usually live together, but do gather periodically to reaffirm bonds and discuss and rule on important issues. Each tribe, in one form or another, is nominally ruled over by council of elders made up of the most powerful packleaders and packmothers within the tribe.

Vampires

Werewolves, by and large, do not like vampires. There exists a historical emnity between the two races. Werewolves see vampires as unnatural parasites on the health and vitality of the other, living, races. Vampires see werewolves as dangerous vermin. Unfortunately, vampires are a presence in the supernatural community which cannot be easily done away with. The way in which werewolves deal with vampires differs greatly from tribe to tribe. Some practice separation and noninterference. Others utilize the diplomatic skills of their half-bloods to arrange co-operative, or at least civil, relationships with the soul-less parasites. Still others train their youngsters in the skills of vampire hunting and send them out to collect necklaces of fangs.

Longevity

Immature werewolves mature at the same rate as the creature of their birth form. Once a werewolf reaches maturity at awakening, their aging slows to a pace slightly slower than human. Also, werewolves remain in their prime physically for much longer than their human counterparts. A 60 or 70 year old werewolf will be in as good, if not better physical condition than a 30 or 40 year old werewolf. Male werewolves live to around age 130, when their health and prowess declines rapidly preceding death. Female werewolves experience the same decline in physical prowess at 130, but often remain in fair health for another 20 to 50 years.

For one reason or another werewolves sometimes find it desireable or necessary to extend their lifespan. A common method is hunting and slaying vampires for the life extending qualities of their blood, although this practice is frowned upon by most upright tribes.

VAMPRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vampires are real. But they are not what you expect, and most importantly, there are different types of vampires. Now, don't pull down your Ann Rice or Jim Butcher books and start annotationg them because that is fiction. Fiction means made up. That is a compbination of folk lore and creativity. That is not reality. The kind of vampires I'm talking about are so real that they are either virifiable medically, or so obvious that you can know their identity intuitively.

There are a variety of illnesses which can produce vampirism. Porp[hyria, Lupus erythematosus, and even Guillain-Barr syndrome can be mistaken for vampirism. These are obviously not the celluloid version of vampirism, and have little or nothing to do with blood-sucking fiends, except for those extremely rare and perhaps mythical homicidal variants. But the symptoms of anemia and jaundice, photosensitivity, and pathological mental illness are hard to dismiss.

Then there are the gothic vampires. These are people who choose a lifestyle based on the works of Stoker and Rice, and the films of Lugosi. They tend to be more theatrical and brooding, than actually dangerous. There are live-action role playing games based on Vampire: The Masquerade. All this comes from a deep-seated need to play dress up and be extremely Romantic, until you get in touch with your inner-Keats and you can channel Coleridge.

Finally, there are a group of people known as psychic vampires. In their least offensive form they are those wonderful people who can suck the life and joy out of anything. They are usually passive-aggressive and unaware of their own toxic behavior. They are so self-focused that, not only does the world revolve around them, the world is subservient. Being near a psychic vampire results in the following symptoms: lethargic depression, morbid eating habits, gloom and despair become a part of your expectations, you find yourslef very busy but not accomplishing anything, you don't enjoy being with the person, but can't break away from them.

A psychic vampire is worse than anything Hollywood can come up with because s Hollywood vampire feeds on a victim in order to grow strong. The psychic vampire can feed on a victim for years without getting the slightest bit healthier or happier.

Now obviously this psychic vampire isn't really a vampire, anymore than the porphyriac, the poser, or Bela Lugosi. But they are easily recognizeable as a kind of monster. I'm betting you can think of someone who is a psychic vampire right now.
