Oscar the ‘Death Cat’ Predicts 50 Deaths in Rhode Island Nursing Home

Posted by Ralph Bernardo on February 2, 2010

Tom Leonard writes in the Telegraph:

A cat with an uncanny ability to detect when nursing home patients are about to die has proven itself in around 50 cases by curling up with them in their final hours, according to a new book.

Dr David Dosa, a geriatrician and assistant professor at Brown University, said that five years of records showed Oscar rarely erring, sometimes proving medical staff at the New England nursing home wrong in their predictions over which patients were close to death.

The cat, now five and generally unsociable, was adopted as a kitten at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre in Providence, Rhode Island, which specialises in caring for people with severe dementia.

Dr Dosa first publicised Oscar’s gift in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in…

Polanski and Kubrick: Two Occult Tales

Posted by Ralph Bernardo on December 16, 2009

90sOccultMoviesJacques Vallee writes on BoingBoing:

In our age of rational science the occult has never been more in demand: Angels and demons are popular, the Da Vinci code and lost symbols fascinate audiences worldwide and Hollywood is eager to turn out more movies with a paranormal theme.

So why is it that so many of these stories seem flat, and fail to reach the level of insight into hidden structures of the world true esoteric adventures are supposed to promise?

Perhaps the answer has to do with the failure of gifted directors to come to grips with the enormity of the unknown issues of human destiny, or to pose the fundamental questions their esoteric subject would demand.

We go away charmed by artistic visions, dazzled by the pageantry of cardinals in red capes and…

Friday The 13th Extra Freaky

Posted by majestic on November 13, 2009

NEW ORLEANS (Wireless Flash) — Today (Nov. 13) is going to be an extra freaky Friday the 13th.

This is the third Friday the 13th in 2009 — a strangely high number of bad luck days to have in one year — and paranormal researcher Gina Lanier suspects it spells disaster.

Though it’s hard to say what will actually happen, she recommends wearing a talisman or carrying holy water all day to avoid any mishaps.

The 13th might mean bad luck for folks walking by ladders or black cats, but witches have an opportunity for fun. Lanier says today is a great day to “gather a coven” of witches — which requires 13 spell casters — to practice good or malevolent magic, depending on what they’re into.

She also says it’s prime time to sacrifice…

The Real Psychic Soldier Behind The Men Who Stare at Goats

Posted by Ralph Bernardo on November 5, 2009

Lauren Davis writes on io9.com:

When Jim Channon authored the First Earth Battalion manual, he was hoping to bring warfare into a more humane, modern age. In a new series of columns, he talks about the film and why harnessing the paranormal is so important.

StaringAtGoats

Jon Ronson, who wrote the book The Men Who Stare at Goats, has taken over the Guardian’s film section this week, and asked former Lieutenant Colonel Jim Channon, one of the inspirations behind The Men Who Stare at Goats, write a few columns about the film and his ideas. Channon authored the First Earth Battalion manual, which proposed that the US Army modernize warfare by looking toward the human potential movement. Channon suggested engaging the enemy with positive vibrations and offerings of peace, but also suggested that…
