Ok, I have to admit to a long-standing fascination with the paranormal. I've read lots of books about bizarre phenomena, and ghosts and UFOs and all that. The internet is absolutely full of the stuff. Here are some of my favorite pages about the paranormal. Remember that you can read it and enjoy it without believing a word of it.

Web Pages of the paranormal:

Fortean Times
The official of the Fortean Times magazine, chronicling the strange. It's named after Charles Fort, who was skeptical about scientific explanations, observing how scientists argued according to their own beliefs rather than the rules of evidence and that inconvenient data was ignored, suppressed, discredited or explained away. He also coined the term "teleportation". The web page has links to odd stories, selected articles from the magazine (I recommend the ones about the preserved corpses of saints and hypnagogia), and a neat message board.

Lunar Anomalies Homepage
A very interesting web site. It contains a very complete rebuttal of all of the arguments of people who say that the moon landing was a hoax. In fact, that's what attracted me to the page, and I was reading it for quite some time before I got to the part where they allege that there's a bigger cover up of giant alien cities on the moon, made of blue glass, which has been edited out of all of the moon landing footage and photos. Yeah, they're nuts, but the moon landing hoax rebuttal is really cool.

Obiwan's UFO-free Paranormal Page
A very old page, containing literally thousands of allegedly true ghost stories from usenet and other sources, some dating back to 1993. Good for many hours of spooky reading. It's got some of the most bizarre stories I've ever read; take the Dancing Cows, for example. It also has the net's original Ghosts and Hauntings FAQ.

Historical Artwork and UFOs
A very neat web page filled with chrisian artwork, prechristian artwork, Pre 1947 UFO photographs and other neat things. If nothing else, it will convince you that UFOs are not a totally modern phenomenon, and that lots of christian artists seemed to view UFOs as divine and miraculous.

The Shadowlands
Another page filled with user-submitted ghost stories and an index of haunted places! Also sections on cryptozoology and UFOs.

Michael Hesemann
A Catholic perspective in UFOs. Written by Michael Hesemann, who is a devout Catholic and tourist, this page contains information about the Fatima miracle right next to UFO pictures and speculation. Apparently, St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina said “The Lord certainly did not limit His glory to this small Earth. On other planets other beings exist who did not sin and fall as we did.", and Pope John Paul II, in 1999, responded to the question "Are there any aliens?" with "Always remember: They are children of God as we are".

Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country
The web page of Whitley Strieber, the author of Communion. It's got some very weird science, but a lot of the page actually makes sense. Whitley's Journal is a good place to start reading.
