Forth Bridge Ghost?
A tourist fresh from Mary King’s Close in Edinburgh captured this photo while travelling back across the Forth Bridge.
She believes it’s a ghost – what do you think?
Readers on the Dunfermline Press website don’t seem convinced, with their suggested explanations ranging from it being a reflection of a drink bottle to a splat of bird poop
CYCLING is proving a Fairley dangerous pastime for two cyclists who share the same name and who suffered identical injuries in two separate horror crashes within two weeks.
Dalgety Bay’s Stuart Fairley received a broken collarbone after the keen cyclist landed on his head when a locked wheel flung him over his bike’s handlebars.
And in an amazing twist, another Stewart Fairley, from Winchburgh, West Lothian, suffered the exact same injury only a couple of days earlier after crashing off his bike at 37mph.
Stuart said, “The fact we’re both cyclists who fell off within a couple of days of each other and ended up with the same injury, it’s just really bizarre.”
Stewart concurred, “It was a very strange coincidence, very spooky. Lets hope there’s not a third cyclist out there with the same name.”
Even more coincidental is the fact both cyclists were travelling on new bikes and it was the first time either had been in a serious crash.

A Chinese airport was closed after this mysterious object was spotted in the sky.
Arcing over Zhejiang’s provincial capital Hangzhou, the UFO appeared to glow with an eerie white light and left a bright trail in its wake.
Xiaoshan Airport was closed after the UFO was detected at around 9 pm and dozens of flights had to be diverted.
While reading a recent issue of Fortean Times, I came across an article about Orgonite. Orgonite is a simple compound made of resin, metal and crystals which is said to turn negative energy into positive energy. The article described experiments which had taken place about the effect of Orgonite on vegetables and the results were extraordinary! The vegetables grown with the influence of Orgonite were MASSIVE compared to the same vegetables grown without.
So, I decided to do a little experiment of my own! I made up some Orgonite using resin, copper and quartz crystal chips to use with my own vegetable growing attemps. My kindly neighbour gave me two tomato plants and ONE will be grown in close proximity to one of my bits of Orgonite while the other will be close by (so they are sharing the same positioning, sunlight etc.). I suppose I’d expect them both to be positively affected by the Orgonite, but one plant should be considerably bigger and better than the other.
I’ll be posting regular photos of the plants so you can see how they are progressing – can you guess which one is the Orgonite tomato plant???
Here is a photo of them when we were first given the plants (taken 21st May 2010):
And now I’ve moved them inside to live on my bedroom windowsill. This photo was taken 1st June 2010:
8th June 2010:
Now on 16th June. Both have two ‘bunches’ of what will eventually be tomatoes. The one on the left has three flowers whereas the one on the right has none:
And now on 28th they have reached the top of the window! Also have one little green tomato!

“Motoroway bosses have hired a full-time team of druids to build a series of mini Stonehenge monuments to drain ‘negative energy’ from accident blackspots.
The team – which has secretly been working for Austrian authorities for two years – is said to have reduced fatal accidents at one notorious crash site to zero after restoring its “terrestrial radiation.”
Chief engineer Harald Dirnbacher from Austria’s motorway authority ASFINAG explained: “”We were really sceptical at first and certainly didn’t want people to know what we were doing, so we kept it secret.”
But now the trial results are so impressive officials are spreading the scheme nationwide.
One blackspot’s fatal accident rate fell from an average of six per year to nothing after the druid treatment, where they search for negative radiation with dowsing rods.
But the druids warn that they could be fighting a losing battle as the biggest cause of radiation disruption is mobile phone masts.
Senior druid Ilmar Tessmann explained: “It is a big job. Evert one of these masts spreads negative radiation over an area of 120 to 200 miles. ”

Reported in The Sun today and confirmed on Derren Brown’s own website … he’s going to predict the lotto numbers on Wednesday night and his prediction will be broadcast live on Channel 4 at 10.35pm.
I don’t watch the lotto shows, but there’s something at the back of my head that makes me think the Wednesday night show is actually pre-recorded earlier in the evening … Could be wrong though!
I was watching Location Location Location last night on Channel 4 and was intrigued to see that one of the couples used information obtained through pendulums and dowsing rods in order to choose their new home. They’d asked a friend to use a pendulum in order to choose their area then, after Phil and Kirstie had found them a home that ticked all the boxes, they had a friend (the same friend, I think?!) visit the house with dowsing rods to check the energy flow.
I got the impression that Phil – whilst remaining extremely polite throughout – didn’t think much of the extra input into the house search! When asked how much importance was placed on these methods, the woman said that it was definitely a factor …. although her other half didn’t appear to agree.
Any other tales of psychic house hunting to share?? I suppose many house hunters use a kind-of intuition when it comes to choosing their house – even if a house ticks all the boxes in terms of rooms, locations etc., sometimes a house is rejected simply because it doesn’t feel right. Is this really all that different?
More UFO files have been released on the National Archives website and can be downloaded at no cost from http://ufos.nationalarchives.gov.uk/. The files will remain free to download for a limited time, after which they will continue to be available for a small fee.
Residents of Peru have reported seeing two bright lights in the sky. The two lights moved slowly across the sky and have been confirmed by Carlos Ciriani airport in Tacna as NOT being planes!
