'Flying object' falls to the sky in Florida

Several Polk County viewers called FOX 13 yesterday evening to report something in the sky.  The callers believed the object may have been a meteor or other object entering Earth's atmosphere.  Photos sent by one viewer showed the bright object with some sort of vapor or smoke trail behind it. They were taken at around 5:45 p.m.  It's not clear if the object was a passenger jet with its exhaust trail illuminated by the setting sun, or if it was a meteor or piece of space junk being burned up as it entered the atmosphere.  FOX 13 has been unable to reach any experts who could confirm either theory.

Voodoo priest in Benin hopes to gain respect and new practitioners to the religion to stop stereotypes

This is not about secretive mutterings in the dead of night or freakish eccentrics, explained Dah Aligbonon Akpochihala, an eminent voodoo priest who has taken to the airwaves to preach the old messages of faith, fidelity and obedience integral to his religion. It is about bringing a younger generation on board. A slight, mild-mannered aristocrat in a blue robe, Mr. Aligbonon maintains his modest cinder-block temple on a busy commercial street in this bustling commercial capital, one of the continent’s major ports. The temple sits between a beauty parlor and a hardware stall, and offers spiritual consultation and ceremonies to Mami Wata (a water divinity) — along with photocopying, binding services and CDs in the Fon language of Mr. Aligbonon’s broadcasts. Chickens peck in the courtyard — they have multiple uses, food and sacrifice — laundry hangs on the rack and a baby bawls from within.

Romanian witches scare lawmakers proposing a tax levy for witches and fortune tellers!

Abracadabra, we'll turn all of you into toads!  That's what Romanian senators may have been fearing when they rejected a proposal to tax witches and fortune tellers.  Lawmakers Alin Popoviciu and Cristi Dugulescu of the ruling Democratic Liberal Party drafted a law where witches and fortune tellers would have to produce receipts, and would also be held liable for wrong predictions, a measure which was part of the government's drive to increase revenue.  Romania's Senate voted down the proposal Tuesday. Popoviciu claimed lawmakers were frightened of being cursed.

German police arrest brothel madam for using 'voodoo magic' to force Nigerian girls into prostitution

German authorities were first alerted to the exploitation in the winter of 2009 when they arrested 20-year-old prostitute during a routine check at a Bonn bordello for having false identification.  She told officers that her "madam" had forced her into selling sex, handing over all of her earnings and not informing police using “voodoo magic” from the victim’s native country.  “Should she fail to adhere to this, she was threatened with sickness, madness and even death,” police said in a statement.  The madam reportedly used “voodoo packets,” which contained items such as finger nails, body hair, clothing and photos.  “The victims believe that the person who possesses these packets exercises power over them,” the police statement said.

Psychic Uri Geller believes  his Scottish land hides buried Egyptian treasure...but his neighbors don't

When Uri Geller saw a rocky lump off Scotland's eastern coast was for sale a couple of years ago, the famed spoon-bender says he knew he had to have it.  "I didn't know why.

A jogger was startled by what he thought was a big cat near Henley. Andrew Cleary, 45, was running between his home in Mill End and Dairy Lane when a large cat-like animal ran across his path. He said: “Just a couple of feet in front of me this black animal went streaking across. “It was much too big to be a house cat. It was about the size of a Labrador but it didn’t move anything like a dog. It moved like a cat and I could see its long tail as it disappeared into the bushes.” Mr Cleary’s sighting brings the number in the past 12 years to 14 but he wasn’t aware of the previous ones because he only recently returned from four years in Columbia working as a teacher.
