Astronomers say that due to the Moons gravitational pull on Earth, our astrological signs may have been off by a month for over a millennium!
Brace for the worst: You may be a Virgo, scientists say.  There are many newspapers and websites that promise to tell your fortune, detailing where the planets were when you were born and what their future movements suggest about your future. It's called astrology, and whether or not you believe in it, you won't believe this: It's all wrong.

Chicago 'ear candle' alternative therapy store hit with liability suit
A Chicago ear, nose and throat doctor has become the focal point of the unusual product liability lawsuit of a Kansas woman who claims she was injured by an ear-cleaning procedure using a special candle. “Ear-candling,” which has become a trendy alternative to Q-tips, involves inserting the narrow tip of a hollow conical candle into the ear.

Apparition of the Virgin Mary appears on Texas apartment building...according to residents
Residents at an apartment complex on FM 482 say they have a renewed sense of hope after they say the Virgin Mary came to them.  Linda Cabrera says she saw the apparition for the first time on an early Saturday morning two weeks ago.  "It was shiny, just like the shape of the Virgin Mary," Cabrera said.  Cabrera said the apparition appeared to be floating on the wall of a building. It lasted for two to three hours, she added.  "No joke, this is something awesome -- it's amazing," she said.  The amazing image, Cabrera said, returned again exactly a week later around the same time.  "A lot of beautiful things came to mind," Cabrera said, "It's a big miracle."  She wasn't the only one to see the apparition. Other residents claim they saw the image on the building, too.

Manson cult member and murderer Robert Beausoleil denied parole


California officials have rejected parole for a follower of cult leader Charles Manson for the 15th time.  The state's Board of Parole Hearings decided Monday that Robert Beausoleil (boh-so-LAY') can try again in five years.  Beausoleil, who is 63, was an aspiring musician and actor before he joined the Manson family.  He was arrested for the murder of musician Gary Hinman in August 1969.  He was in jail when other Manson followers killed actress Sharon Tate and four others, then murdered grocer Leno LaBianca and his wife Rosemary.  Beausoleil was convicted of Hinman's murder in 1970 and sentenced to death. The sentence was commuted to life when the California Supreme Court found the death penalty unconstitutional in 1972.

Retired British police detective and son of 'Nessie-hunter' claims he saw the Loch Ness Monster twice!
Simon Dinsdale, a retired police detective from Essex, insists that the two minute film recorded 50 years ago by his father, a famous Nessie-hunter, is genuine.  The footage, shot by Tim Dinsdale in 1960, is one of the best-known images put forward as evidence by those who insist on the existence of the mysterious creature.  Now the insistence of those who believe in Nessie that the film is genuine has been lent new weight after Mr Dinsdale claimed he had seen the monster with his own eyes on two occasions.

Owen Coyle, manager of the Bolton Wanderers professional soccer team, suspected of burying 'lucky' fetishes under each goal
Sky Sports caught Bolton manager/possible god Owen Coyle alone on the Reebok Stadium pitch before his side beat Blackburn 2-1 on Sunday thanks to a fantastic late goal from Stu Holden while a man down. The puzzled Sky team collectively turned their heads to the side as they watched Coyle appear to bury something in the ground with a spoon inside each goal. Was it superstition? A ritual? Some kind of James Bondish electronic device?!

British woman claims she is a magnet for UFO's after 17th such encounter!

A British housewife has become known as a UFO magnet after she claimed that she has been visited at least 17 times by them, with five such episodes being up close.  Bridget Grant, 40, looks just like any other ordinary housewife, but her extraordinary experiences have brought her recognition in the UFO world as the Briton most visited by aliens.  "Why me? I don't know. I can't understand it but I need answers. I can't explain what's happening to me. I feel very happy that I've witnessed what I have," the Sun quoted her as saying.

Devil attacks school children in Trinidad
Panic broke out at the Moruga Composite School yesterday as 17 female students fell mysteriously ill and began rolling on the ground, hissing and blabbering in a strange tongue, after suffering bouts of nausea and headaches. Two of the students reportedly tried to throw themselves off a railing and had to be physically restrained, triggering fears of a possible demon attack. The drama started during the lunch hour in the Form One block and quickly spread to other areas. Form Five student Kern Mollineau, who attends the Lighthouse Tabernacle Church, said he got worried when the girls’ eyes began rolling up in their heads and they began beating up on the ground.

Rival Pennsylvania fortune tellers declare psychic war on each other!


It's a sort of Hatfield versus McCoys. Two families. Two fortune telling businesses. Now, a feud has escalated to alleged violence. Self-described gypsy Jimmy "Cutty" George says he fears for his life and that of his family after Stephen Mitchell allegedly threatened his wife at gunpoint.  "He had a gun and he waved it to her. He said keep the kids off Street Road or I'm going to hurt you," George said.

Psychologists ponder whether it really is possible for us to see into the future

Extraordinary claims don't come much more extraordinary than this: events that haven't yet happened can influence our behaviour.  Parapsychologists have made outlandish claims about precognition – knowledge of unpredictable future events – for years. But the fringe phenomenon is about to get a mainstream airing: a paper providing evidence for its existence has been accepted for publication by the leading social psychology journal

U.S. soldiers with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder hope to find recovery at Native American sweat lodges
It's late afternoon on the Colorado plains, and the sun is disappearing behind the ridge of mountains to the west of us, but all I can see is darkness.  I'm in a traditional Lakota sweat lodge, a 15-foot-wide dome of willow branches covered in thick moving blankets and canvas.  Inside the tiny lodge, 20 of us are shoulder to sweaty shoulder in burning pain. The ceremony leader sings a traditional song, pouring cup after cup of water onto the still-glowing rocks, increasing the heat until voices break the darkness in anguish. Mine would join them if I could, but the heat is like a hundred pounds of sand, pressing me down into submission.  Now I know what it feels like to touch hell.  The ceremony is called inipi, more commonly known as sweat lodge. It is one of seven sacred rites of the Lakota Sioux, and has also been used traditionally as a purification ceremony among many Native American nations.

Ghost sightings doubled after Canterbury earthquake
The "sheer strength and power" of the September 4 earthquake has more than doubled the number of reported supernatural events in Canterbury, a paranormal investigator says.  Christchurch Paranormal Investigators founder Anton Heyrick said his team had received an "interesting influx" of phone calls and emails after the 7.1-magnitude earthquake, with more than double the usual number of inquiries.  "People are calling us, saying that they had always felt like there was something in the house, but since the earthquake it had become more intense," he said.  Most cases related to strange noises, although one man said he had been attacked by a ghost.
