The application of this disorder to supernatural experiences is very insightful, Whichever-Mancer-You-Are-This-Week. I will pass this information along to my minions.

Sparks, I had no idea you were formidable. In fact, I would be hesitant to believe the details, but Darcy and Ron seem willing to take it at face value. I do have a considerable amount of confidence in their judgement of character -- and you are quite the character. Congratulations on giving our fri...

Friends, I am not much good in a fight, but I can put the resources of the After Midnight Agency at your disposal. If you need more investigators to chase down leads which are still warm, let me know. If you would like some extra muscle, let me send you a little. If Mrs. Technocrat could use a job, ...

I accomplished twice as much work as I did on February 29th of last year. Next year, I might double it again, if I feel ambitious.

Thank you for the news, Ronald. This is just the sort of critter that I can use for the After Midnight Centerfold page.

The very definition of faith—for good or ill—excludes it as a fact—doesn’t it? One may believe the earth to be so many years old, but truth and fact exist separately and exclusively as truth. Yes and no Rowan, that is a particularly Western concept of faith. None of the eastern religions have faith...

Ron and Darcy, you my friends have had a rough month. I know times are bad when I find myself wishing that I was drugged or restrained. Then there is the matter of that particularly bad blind date earlier this week -- but I will not kiss and tell. Anyway, your March will be better. I will have a tol...

I should check the board every morning. Had I seen this warning, I could have been spared from a particularly bad blind date. Nothing supernatural in Saint Louis occurred that I noticed, but it was possibly the worst date of my life. As for the animals, it has been reported to me by many second-hand...

In February 1948 (or June 1947, depending on which source one consults) a series of distress calls were sent out by the Dutch freighter Orang Medan in the Straits of Malacca between Sumatra and Indonesia. "All officers including captain dead, lying in chartroom and on bridge, probably whole cr...

Yes, you may have an update. I know how you've missed me. It appears that in some cases, one may feel justified in being scared by ones own shadow. I am referring to the Grey Man of Ben MacDhui. http://skeptoid.com/images/ben_macdhui-big.jpg This phantasm stalks the foggy mountain of Ben MacDhui in ...

Oh look, there is a link in this sentence. If one follows it, one will find a Snopes article on how this photograph is a hoax from 2007. What is interesting and pertinent now is how this photograph is more popular today than it was when it first appeared on April first, five years ago. Several corre...

Now that I think about it, Remote Viewing of Pluto would not be enough to meet the challenge of this skeptic. Even if I were to remote view all of the way to Pluto, I still would not see anything. Remote viewing is a matter of shifting ones sense to another view point. Pluto is simply too dark to se...

Welcome to our quaint little corner of the asylum, Sparks. Well if I get to ask -questions-.... Do aliens exist? What are you a doctor of? What makes me so combustible? Cake or death? Aliens exist in the heart of every lover and the dreams of every child. Space aliens, on the other proverbial hand, ...

The Monkey's Paw This short story saw print in 1902 which does not fit within the 100 year rule. Fortunately, I don't live by your rules. This story is about a family which receives the gift of a mummified primate appendage. I gave just such a gift this Valentines Day, but I digress (more and more)...

Now that you mention it, I do remember reading about some research being done in this field. Ah ha, I found it! A Professor Charlette Handler, in the 1960s, wanted to train spirits to provide positive emotions. Her background, ironically, was in mechanical engineering. She taught engineering at an i...

Just a ship? Back when I was an adventurous reporter for the old After Midnight , we would have reported finding a thriving alien city or a ghost fleet of sky scraper-sized ships. Come to think of it, I think we really did run a story like that. I may have to check the AM archives. Nonetheless, this...

Hey, they're photographing that timeshare I bought! Seriously Cy-guy, thanks for keeping us informed. I would be less interested in learning what crashed as why it was purposefully crashed. I know that NASA had money to burn in the 1960s, but litterbugging the moonscape with expensive spacecrafts se...

Riveting story, Hi-yourself-your-are-Bobby!

So T-bird, how did your grandfather meet your grandmother? I am always in the mood for a love story.

Perhaps -- and this is just a supposition -- Tom did save Hatty from the library by writing the first story. The second story did specify that the library contained all truths and all stories . If he created a new story, it would restart the library and hopefully make Hatty accessible again. But why...

It has "lice" for one thing. Bazinga! I am on fire tonight. Okay, I am over it. Welcome to the Lazlo side of that street, Chalice. In which area are you operating? I know -- I know -- you like your privacy. I, nonetheless, hire people who are new from time to time to do freelance investiga...

I have a deep, intimate, and passionate loving relationship with the English language. We love the things we love, however, when we love their flaws. English simply does not have adequate terminology for these concepts. This is a good example. I never cared for "good" as an appositive to &...

I would! As the French say, "the sexiest part is the walk upstairs." Actually, they say it in French.

As Louis would write, "curiouser and curiouser". I will not even pretend that I understand what has transpired here. The references to two or three Mr. Blues is obviously not meant for me. I met Cybermancer once before, and didn't have a chance to say aloha then either, but I digress. I am...

All would be good be good, all would be lovely, if only the damned would stay damned.

Well hello there, Yes, the installation as he called it. I would call it a field of smoldering rubble. So we approached Rubblopolus slowly and as stealthily as we could manage while leading a small army of armed and nervous soldiers. Convincing those soldier boys to follow us was truely an epic achi...

Doctor Boggs, you can assert that you did not run away like a little girl, but I saw pigtails. How many civilians did you evacuate anyway? I never did get a head count. So, a decision was made to bypass the weapon cache and go directly to Sigma Station. I am not certain who made that decision, but I...

He equates all religions, fairies, and all conspiracy theories. Well, that certainly is efficient of him.

If anything, I think that the soldiers were pleased to see her. I think she was quite welcome. Nonetheless, Cybermancer slid into the role of a bureaucrat with surprising ease and skill. I and Micheal slid into the roles of lackies. I made sure to borwnnose a little just to complete the disguise. We...

That thing Micheal saw in the sky -- it was not an hummingbird. The cabin was not like your rich boss' cabin with satellite television and two point five bathrooms. It was more like the shed in back of your boss' cabin where you boss' snowmobile is parked. It had no outdoor plumbing. Some epic fishi...
