I took this photo of Katherine Harris at CPAC. It was a dark room and I had to use the zoom to get a closer shot. There is a blob next to Mrs. Harris.

Gee, do you think it is the ghost of Algore, the candidate?

Oxymoron Alert!

Michael O'Neill, a New York City marketing manager, had no preconceived notions about Edward but experienced what he is convinced was a "hot reading"--a variation on the cold reading in which the medium takes advantage of information surreptitiously gathered in advance. Given an extra ticket by family members hoping to hear from his deceased grandfather, O'Neill attended a performance and was singled out by Edward who received what he claimed were communications sent directly from the dead grandfather.
While many of those messages seemed to O'Neill to be clearly off base, Edward made a few correct "hits," mystifying everyone by dropping family names and facts he could not possibly have known.
It was not until weeks after the performance, when O'Neill saw the show on TV, that he began to suspect chicanery. Clips of him nodding yes had been spliced into the videotape after statements with which he remembers disagreeing. In addition, says O'Neill, most of Edward's "misses," both on him and other audience members, had been edited out of the final tape.
Now suspicious, O'Neill recalled that while the audience was waiting to be seated, Edward's aides were scurrying about, striking up conversations and getting people to fill out cards with their name, family tree and other facts. Once inside the auditorium, where each family was directed to preassigned seats, more than an hour passed before show time while "technical difficulties" backstage were corrected.
She's okay. A reporter, does interviews. Maybe some of the people she interviews are a little over the edge, but she's fine.
Good story... long, but good. That one is alot more eerie and harder to explain than a few specs on a photograph.
If she was just interviewing people and going along with it, sorta like Art Bell, then I would say she is okay. But she is writing books about aliens running around making crop circles and mutilating cattle... she's gotta screw loose IMHO.
That's the one. Thanks, it was a worthwhile read.
If you were to read about crop circles, you would realize that some of those are very precisely made to exotic geometry. They are also quite large. The stalks of the plants are bent by heat and often woven along the "floor" of the design. Totally impossible for even hundreds of people to accomplish with "strings and boards" in a couple of hours. There are never even so much as one foot print leading into or out of the area.
Treat yourself to some brain-teasers. Go read about those things. They are very odd, indeed.
TFTF, windcliff. Remember, you thought you saw my dad, that once? Unfinished business?

Though still, I doubt through wonder, and wonder through doubt.
