  • Best Ghost Photos 2 ,Freddy Jackson-TIME Travel

     

    Freddy Jackson Ghost
    Ghost behind the Face Freddy Jackson.

    “This intriguing photo, taken in 1919, was first published in 1975 by Sir Victor Goddard, a retired R.A.F. officer. The photo is a group portrait of Goddard’s squadron, which had served in World War I at the HMS Daedalus training facility. An extra ghostly face appears in the photo. In back of the airman positioned on the top row, fourth from the left, can clearly be seen the face of another man. It is said to be the face of Freddy Jackson, an air mechanic who had been accidentally killed by an airplane propeller two days earlier. His funeral had taken place on the day this photograph was snapped. Members of the squadron easily recognized the face as Jackson’s. It has been suggested that Jackson, unaware of his death, decided to show up for the group photo.

    Interesting side note: In 1935, Sir Victor Goddard, now a Wing Commander, had another brush with the unexplained. While on a flight from Edinburgh, Scotland to his home base in Andover, England, he encountered a strange storm that seemed to transport him through time into the future. You can read more about his experience in the article “Time Travelers” under the section “Flight Into the Future.”

    FLIGHT INTO THE FUTURE

    In 1935, Air Marshal Sir Victor Goddard of the British Royal Air Force had a harrowing experience in his Hawker Hart biplane. Goddard was a Wing Commander at the time and while on a flight from Edinburgh, Scotland to his home base in Andover, England, he decided to fly over an abandoned airfield at Drem, not far from Edinburgh. The useless airfield was overgrown with foliage, the hangars were falling apart and cows grazed where planes were once parked. Goddard then continued his flight to Andover, but encountered a bizarre storm. In the high winds of the storm’s strange brown-yellow clouds, he lost control of his plane, which began to spiral toward the ground. Narrowly averting a crash, Goddard found that his plane was heading back toward Drem. As he approached the old airfield, the storm suddenly vanished and Goddard’s plane was now flying in brilliant sunshine. This time, as he flew over the Drem airfield, it looked completely different. The hangars looked like new. There were four airplanes on the ground: three were familiar biplanes, but painted in an unfamiliar yellow; the fourth was a monoplane, which the RAF had none of in 1935. The mechanics were dressed in blue overalls, which Goddard thought odd since all RAF mechanics dressed in brown overalls. Strange, too, that none of the mechanics seemed to notice him fly over. Leaving the area, he again encountered the storm, but managed to make his way back to Andover. It wasn’t until 1939 that that the RAF began to paint their planes yellow, enlisted a monoplane of the type that Goddard saw, and the mechanics uniforms were switched to blue. Had Goddard somehow flown four years into the future, then returned to his own time?

    CAUGHT IN A TEMPORAL VORTEX

    Dr. Raul Rios Centeno, a medical doctor and an investigator of the paranormal, recounted to author Scott Corrales a story told to him by one of his patients, a 30-year-old woman, who came to him with a serious case of hemiplegia – the total paralysis of one side of her body. “I was at a campground in the vicinity of Markahuasi,” she told him. Markahuasi is the famous stone forest located about 35 miles east of Lima, Peru. “I went out exploring late at night with some friends. Oddly enough, we heard the strains of music and noticed a small torch-lit stone cabin. I was able to see people dancing inside, but upon getting closer I felt a sudden sensation of cold which I paid little attention to, and I stuck my head through an open door. It was then that I saw the occupants were clad in 17th century fashion. I tried to enter the room, but one of my girlfriends pulled me out.” It was at that moment that half of the woman’s body became paralyzed. Was it because the woman’s friend pulled her out of the stone cabin when she was half entered into it? Was half her body caught in some temporal vortex or dimensional doorway? Dr. Centeno reported that “an EEG was able to show that the left hemisphere of the brain did not show signs of normal functioning, as well as an abnormal amount of electric waves.” (SeeDimensions Beyond Our Own for more details on this story.)

  • What is Parapsychology?

    In Indian philosophy, there is no such thing as Supra normal,Super Natural in the Universe.

    Every thing is as it is.

    It is your ability to perceive has made you say some thing as Super natural.

    These things are real and one, with enough practice  and training, can witness these things.

    A separate blog on this follows.

    Following is an excellent introduction.

    First coined by Max Dessoir in 1889, parapsychology is a multi-faceted investigation of psychic abilities and their origins, life after death, near-death experiences, and anything perceived by an individual as mystical, uncanny, supernatural or paranormal. The term parapsychology replaced the old term of psychical research. The first effort to establish an organization of scientists and scholars who investigate paranormal phenomena began seven years earlier in London with the establishment of the Society for Psychical Research.

    Although many variations and explanations of the paranormal exist, parapsychology research can be broken down into three basic components: telekinesis, clairvoyance/perception and telepathy.

    Telepathy is the mental communication of information across space. An example of this concerns the phenomenon of remote viewing, a practice that was highly studied by the United States government. In remote viewing, a subject tries to detect information pertaining to a person, place or object using Extrasensory Perception (ESP).

    In past experiments, a person described or sketched out a target photo that was selected. In the Stargate Project, parapsychology research was performed by the United States government in relation to the espionage program. However, the project was halted in 1995 for not providing sufficient evidence supporting the validity of remote viewing. The United States experienced the height of its parapsychology research in the 1970s, its experimental interest gradually dropping since the 1980s.

    The Ganzfeld experiments tested out people’s ESP skills, a form of mental telepathy, in sending and receiving images. In a laboratory experiment subjects were deprived of sensory processes that controlled mental noise. Using ping-pong palls placed on the subjects eyes to create a dull, red glow and white noise, the subjects were seated in a reclining position. In essence, the receiver was asked to choose the correct image being sent to him or her. Stanford and Duke University were one of the first United States universities to delve into ESP parapsychology research.

    Telekinesis touches on the physical paranormal realm, concerning itself with the physical movement of objects through the mind‘s mental energy. Bending spoons is one example of this phenomenon. Clairvoyance is what many psychic and tarot readings express, as they relate future events that have not yet occurred. A psychic gives predictions about important areas of a person’s life, such as love, finances, health or occupation.Lilydale, New York is a popular community of mediums and psychics devoted to the path of spiritualism.

    Other examples of paranormal phenomena include apparitions, past-life regression, hauntings, synchronicity and reincarnation. Altered states of human consciousness, such as hypnosis, dreams, trance, levitation and séances, also fall into the parapsychology research category.

    With many countries contributing to parapsychology experiments, the United Kingdom employs the largest number of parapsychologists. Most research is funded through private universities.

    Parapsychology research is alive and well through the media. Publications such as FATE Magazine provide real-life stories abut paranormal phenomena, while television shows such as Ghost Hunters investigate reported hauntings using special recording equipment.
