Arlington Cemetery, Kearny, NJ 1910 Memorial Day is the holiday for mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Every year the American Legion Post (99) Kearny, NJ, that I am a member of, places American Flags on the graves of Veterans in the town of Kearny (Arlington Cemetery). A number of the graves are for those who died while serving during wars while others will receive a flag to show, as a veteran, they’re not forgotten

Stuart, Tree & Dean When my friends Stuart and Dean were visiting from the UK, we toured sites in New York City and took them into Greenwich Village. This area is known for its colorful past. In the 50s it was the home of the Beat Generation, Mafia controlled businesses and a non-conformist society of musicians and poets, known as the “Beatniks.” We visited The Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street, a gay bar and National Historic Landmark. The Stonewall was the site of the

Titanic It’s often said that women often have a sixth sense about danger and express that “gut feeling” with premonitions. Here are a few of those recorded premonitions that came true in regards of the Titanic tragedy. Take the verified story of Frank Adelman and his wife. Frank was a well-known Seattle violinist and conductor, who was visiting London. They decided to return to America on board the new ship, Titanic. Shortly before the sailing day, Mrs. Adelman had a sudden

The town of Gettysburg is a haven for people who love the history of the Civil War and to walk the ground where the battle took place in 1863. The Battle of Gettysburg resulted in the turning point of the war, giving the northern forces a position of strength, which helped to end the war a few years later. I was asked to present at a paranormal conference being held at the Gettysburg Holiday Inn. This was the first time I visited the town and my friend and author, Rosemary

Mayor Dina M. Grilo A historian wears many hats. Starting with being a detective, then a researcher, and you can throw a bit of a ghost chaser too. The town next to Kearny where I live, is East Newark. It is the second-smallest municipality in New Jersey by total area. Its population is about 2400 and operates under a Borough form of government with a mayor and council. East Newark was established in 1895, which at the time was a heavy industrial area. Dina M. Grilo is the

Higgins Center Hillsdale, NJ The Parapsychology Foundation in New York City always had guest speakers. Many were authors or professors with topics of interest to the foundation. I was the one who videotaped these programs. Later the Foundation would make the tapes available to the public. The one presentation I’ll always remember is when Paul, a former member of the C.I.A. spoke about “Remote Viewing” which is the ability to see places or things close by or around the worl

HAUNTED? The Tower of London is considered one of the most haunted locations on earth, with a background of executions, torture and imprisonments, that date back over a thousand years. With all this going for it, is there any wonder why it’s haunted? I’d like to bring to your attention to a house I’m familiar with. Its history is one of sadness and despair. We’ll begin this story a hundred years ago, when an immigrant couple from Poland got married in Newark, NJ. The man was

Aunt Eleanor's 1955 Pontiac Chieftain Back in 1979, my Aunt Eleanor decided to buy a new car. The car she was driving was a 1955 Pontiac Chieftain. Her mechanic told her that parts were scarce and advised her to buy a new car. She agreed, so I told her I wanted the ’55. “Why?” she said. I wanted to restore it. She made a good point. The car overall was in bad shape. I love my aunt; she had a kind heart but that didn’t translate to being a good driver. She failed her dri

Debbie D at the UFO conference When fortune favors you and you’ve finally finished your book or film, the next, and most important step, is to let the world see what you’ve created. What good is finishing a project if it slips into obscurity because no one knows about it? No matter how good it is, your project will become dormant, and you’ll eventually be stuck with unsold cases of books or videos. This is the story of how I was able to get the attention of my newly released

Ingo Swann & Noreen Renier When my friend Ingo Swann (1933–2013) died, his sister held a memorial service for him on the second floor of a small local museum in Manhattan that he often frequented. Ingo was a celebrity of sorts, known for his unusual psychic abilities that caught the attention of the United States government. He was especially known for remote viewing. Remote viewing is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen subject, purportedly sensed w

Since the film Ghostbusters was released in1985, there has been a fascination for ghost hunting. The film shows a group of professors that taught parapsychology at their university. Because of their scandalous behavior these professors, they were fired. As a result, they formed a ghost hunting company, that finds, removes and traps these ghosts in a special vault, all for a price. It was a delightful film, filled with comedy, special effects, and an outrageous story plot t

Law enforcement has a tough job protecting us, especially in today’s world where mass shootings unfortunately are common. Too many times the bad guys get away with the crime even though our landscape is covered with cameras and alarms. It may take just a clue or a hidden detail that was overlooked to help bring the culprit to justice. Who better to help law enforcement than a “real” psychic? I know what you’re thinking, don’t the police use them already? No. Years ago, I

When I was diagnosed with having an ability called “retrocognition” (the ability to perceive past events, objects, or information through extrasensory means) I now had an explanation of why my life was taking such a strange course. Prior to this I was navigating through the years blindly not understanding why my outlook on daily life was slightly out of kelter. I could never understand why others couldn’t see what I was seeing, which made me a target of ridicule to some and

What amazes me is people who love the paranormal invest in high dollar gadgets to help them detect ghosts. In this age of instant gratification, push a button on your TV remote and have instant entertainment, reach into your pocket grab your cellphone and have worldwide communication and an information source that mirrors the combined knowledge of a library. With all this available at your fingertips it’s no wonder why people today have the patience of a ferret on speed. Th

PSYCHIC: STUART JAMES FOY FROM THE UK TAKING PHOTOS AT THE MARTIAN LANDING SITE IN GROVERS MILL, NJ On October 30,1938, Orson Welles, with his Mercury Theatre broadcasted a realistic radio program adapted from the 1898 H.G. Wells novel, The War of the Worlds. The young Orson wanted to make his Halloween program seem like the invasion from Mars was real. To add to the strength of the program, he would interrupt a seemingly normal broadcast of music with breaking news bull

To all those who are and are not psychics or just may be sensitive to paranormal things, you’ll find this interesting. I’d like to begin by quoting lines spoken from the 1945 film, The Enchanted Cottage. Starring Robert Young and Dorothy McGuire “Houses are like living things, alive with all the thoughts and memories of the people who lived there, and these thoughts and memories go on living as long as the house stands.” A quick question, have you ever entered a house or any

As a person who experienced a time slip, I’ve concluded that time is not a one-way street but more like the tide that ebbs in and out. While doing research for my book, Time Slips: A Commonsense Approach, I’ve determined that through the accuracy of the details and facts witnessed by those I’ve interviewed, I am convinced they actually experienced this event which proves to me that the time slip phenomena is real. However, should you happen to be in mixed company, if the subj

https://www.facebook.com/karl.petry.3 Why visit cemeteries? The question often asked, do those who lay beneath our feet know that we are there visiting them? Do the souls of the departed lie for eternity in the soil of the cemetery waiting for family and visitors to view their final resting place? The answer, they don’t. However, mediums when trying to reach the departed, will sometimes focus on objects such as crystal balls, saucers of water or cards that seem to bring th
