Podcasts are a fun way to get up to date on virtually anything. You can listen while you do errands or clean the house. It’s the lazy man’s blog.

“The Paranormal Podcast has been examining the unknown since 2005. We won’t dress up in alien costumes and don’t plan on buying that $19.99 Super Official Ghost Detector off of late night TV but we believe there is more to life than what meets the eye.

What is at play? Which theories are real? We’re not sure and that is why we invite you to join us — in our quest to learn more on The Paranormal Podcast!”

I love it when the edge of reality touches the edge of science fiction. I am however not at all anxious for those giant insects they had way-back-when to be resurrected any time soon.

Long-extinct creatures like the dodo and woolly mammoth could be brought back to life thanks to scientific advances
By Fiona Macrae

It has long been synonymous with death.

But the dodo could live again, along with other long-extinct creatures from the fearsome sabre-toothed tiger to the lumbering Neanderthal.

Other beasts of yesteryear ripe for resurrection include the Tasmanian tiger, the woolly rhinoceros and the glyptodon – a VW Beetle-sized armadillo which last roamed the Earth 11,000 years ago…

I admit, sometimes the reason I can’t wait for my toddler to develop more verbal skills is so when I ask her if she remembers anything from a past life, she’ll be able to respond with more than two-word combinations such as: “kitty, go?”

I’ve been told several times that little ones tend to remember past lives rather clearly in some cases, and that it is quite interesting to interview children about such things before they become too old to remember…

Psychic Medium In Search of Paranormal Kids
Psychic medium Beckah Boyd is on the lookout for children with psychic abilities as case studies for her new book Raising Your Gifted Child a handbook for parents who are dealing with psychic children.

Manchester, NH – Jan 04, 2009 – Do your kids see dead people? Bend spoons with their mind, know what you are thinking or have some other hidden talent? Beckah Boyd is a psychic medium and currently authoring a new book called Raising Your Gifted Child giving parents step by step instructions when it comes to adapting to and understanding their children’s abilities and how to enhance them.
She is looking for kids from ages four to fifteen to use as case studies for her upcoming book. Beckah is offering free testing for the kids who come to see her and free help for the parents with full discretion in her book. “I am not looking to out these kids as psychics, I am just hoping that someone will pick up the book and maybe they can identify with both the child and parent. Names aren’t the focus the journey is.” Beckah says.

Kids face a lot of challenges in their life, but psychic abilities shouldn’t be one of them. Beckah believes it is natural in each of us and that society has taught us to ignore it, but in some kids that’s just not possible and it’s better to face the situation head on.   [the rest]
