Top of the poll are Ed and Lorraine Warren, who researched the Amityville Horror poltergeist. Read More

Sceptical about sceptics’ $2m paranormal challenge
Tuesday, September 25, 2007
 NEW ZEALAND. Challenges achieve very little in the world of the paranormal – apart from gaining dubious publicity for those who issue them. In fact, challenges thrown down by believers and sceptics virtually cancel themselves out. A new and sceptical NZ$2 million (around £750,000) challenge was recently thrown down by a New Zealand organisation targeting the four mediums who star in the TV series Sensing Murder.

Seeing the future – or just dreaming?
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
 UNITED KINGDOM. Can Chris Robinson see the future? He says he has been predicting events for 20 years with clues that come to him in dreams. If true – and he has many supporters – then he undoubtedly deserves inclusion in the UK’s Five TV documentary series “Extraordinary People”, screened on 10 September, 2007, six years after an American professor witnessed Robinson predict the US terrorist attacks in New York. But did the TV investigation, titled The Man Who Dreams The Future, corroborate the dream detective’s claims? Read More

Saturday, September 01, 2007
 SOUTH KOREA. As Prince Charles will tell you, talking to plants or playing them soothing music can accelerate their growth. Now comes news that suggests he was right after all. Scientists in South Korea claim to have identified genes that can "hear” and have discovered which sounds enhance the growth of plants. They monitored gene expression in rice plants – the process by which their DNA code is translated into instructions for biological processes such as growth. Russian scientists experimenting with DNA have also claimed that it plays a vital role in certain paranormal phenomena. Read More
