| Sandra Bullock 'Convinced' North London Location Haunted Posted: 15 Jun 2011 10:45 AM PDT  But ITV2 chiefs will be banging their heads against the wall now because the Hollywood actress might just have been tempted. She is in London filming sci-fi thriller Gravity with George Clooney and has asked producers to investigate the converted church she is staying in because she fears it's haunted. She's had sleepness nights due to "ghostly presences" inside the north London gaff. A source said: "Sandra is convinced something is not right." It's a shame Bill Murray isn't co-starring with her. He might still have a proton pack from Ghostbusters knocking about. - The Sun ----- Sandra Bullock is currently in London filming a Sci-Fi thriller called "Gravity" with George Clooney, but The Sun, a British tabloid, reports her offscreen activities are more focused on the paranormal. The Oscar-winning actress is staying in a converted church, but sources say she is asking her producers to investigate the dwelling because she fears it's haunted. The paranormal patter is reportedly so bad that Bullock is suffering sleepless nights due to "ghostly presences" inside the north London church and a source claims the actress is convinced something is not right. Bonnie Vent, a San Diego-based spiritual medium, isn't surprised Bullock is having ghostly experiences in jolly old England. "London has a long, rich history for murder and mayhem," Vent told AOL Weird News. "The properties are hundreds of years old with many highly emotional experiences attached as well as bodies buried in the floors and walls of some properties." Also, show business celebrities seem to have a knack for picking up ghostly vibes, she says. "Celebrities are more open-minded, live-and-let-live types," she said. "They're already living outside of the box. Plus, they travel a lot and staying in different places makes you recognize when a room has a unique energy to it." Advertisement Vent, who said she has worked as a "spirit advocate" to deliver messages from beyond the grave for celebs like Michael Jackson, George Carlin and "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, believes Bullock is going about things the right way by trying to investigate the spooks rather than removing them willy-nilly. "She needs to check out the property," Vent advised. "Whatever is haunting her could be from either the building or the land itself." Vent also suggests Bullock take matters into her own hands by setting up a tape recorder in her room and asking questions in it for five minutes. "She should leave five-second intervals in between questions," Vent explained. "Then when she listens back to the tape, she should listen for any strange sounds that shouldn't be there." However, paranormal researcher Bryan Bonner of the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society has some slightly different advice for her. "I would suggest that one never ask movie or TV producers to look into any type of paranormal activity," Bonner said. "The only thing that will do is create another movie or TV show. However she might be able to get a credit as co-writer." Bonner says Bullock's paranormal problem is actually quite common and has a very simple solution. "The best thing for her to do would be to go to another place to stay," he said. "Once a person is convinced that a place is 'haunted,' it is hard for them to think anything different."  |

The bulb was a gift from a businessman in 1901 and with the exception of a brief period in 1903, a week in 1937 and some power outages between then and 1976, the light has remained on. Lynn Owens, the chairman of the town's light bulb centennial committee, said that the light's longevity has baffled scientists. He said: "Nobody knows how it's possible. It is a 60 watt bulb and it's only turned on for about four watts but nobody knows why it keeps burning. "We've had scientists from all over the country look at this light bulb. Of course nobody has ever been able to touch this it," he added. The bulb has become a major tourist draw for Livermore and a celebrity in its own right. Comedy Central's The Colbert Report did a comic feature for the bulb's 110th birthday. - telegraph ********** Mexico drug gangs force gladiator-style death matches The new vicious trend in the country's brutal drug war follows beheadings, hangings, mutilations and even the skinning of rivals. It was revealed by a trafficker who gave an anonymous interview to the Houston Chronicle newspaper. He described how some of those taken in a recent spate of kidnappings from buses had been forced to fight in coliseum-style battles. Around 200 bodies have been found buried in mass graves near the city of San Fernando, just south of Texas, in recent months and many of the victims had suffered head injuries. According to the trafficker survivors of the gruesome battles were then forced to act as unwilling hit men for the Zetas drug cartel, embarking on suicide missions to kill members of rival gangs. Peter Hanna, a retired FBI agent, told the Houston Chronicle: "The stuff you would not think possible a few years ago is now commonplace." Nearly 40,000 people have died in Mexico's drug war since 2006 despite the deployment of tens of thousands of troops by President Felipe Calderón. Last week the bodies of several men, one with his foot cut off, were found hanging from bridges in the northern city of Monterrey. - telegraph ********** World's first womb transplant planned Eva Ottosson, 56, has agreed to take part in a groundbreaking new medical procedure, which if successful could see her donate her uterus to her 25-year-old daughter Sara. Doctors hope if the transplant is successful Sara, who was born without reproductive organs, could become pregnant and carry a child in the same womb from which she herself was born. It is hoped the complex transplant operation could take place as early as next spring in Sweden, where doctors in Gothenburg have been assessing suitable patients for the revolutionary procedure. Mrs Ottosson, who runs a lighting business in Nottingham, said: "My daughter and I are both very rational people and we both think 'it's just a womb'. "She needs the womb and if I'm the best donor for her … well, go on. She needs it more than me. I've had two daughters so it's served me well." The only previous womb transplant took place in Saudi Arabia in 2000 when a 26-year-old woman, who had lost her uterus due to haemorrhage, received a donated womb from a 46-year-old. However the recipient developed problems and the womb had to be removed after 99 days. Since then medical knowledge of the surgical procedure has improved and a team in Gothenburg, Sweden, believe they are at the stage where they can perform a successful transplant. Sara, who lives and works in Stockholm, has a condition called Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, which affects around 1 in 5,000 people, and means she was born without a uterus and some parts of the vagina. The cause is unknown but like many women with the condition Sara only realised she was missing her reproductive organs when she was a teenager and failed to begin menstruating. If the procedure works, Sara will have her own eggs fertilised using her boyfriend's sperm and then implanted into her donated womb. Sara said she was unconcerned about the implications of receiving the womb that she herself was carried in. She said: "I haven't really thought about that. I'm a biology teacher and it's just an organ like any other organ. But my mum did ask me about this. She said 'isn't it weird?' And my answer is no. I'm more worried that my mum is going to have a big operation." She added: "It would mean the world to me for this to work and to have children. At the moment I am trying not to get my hopes up so that I am not disappointed. But we have also been thinking about adoption for a long time and if the transplant fails then we will try to adopt." Dr Mats Brannstrom, who is leading the medical team, said a womb transplant remained one of the most complex operations known to medical science. He said: "Technically it is lot more difficult than transplanting a kidney, liver or heart. The difficulty with it is avoiding haemorrhage and making sure you have long enough blood vessels to connect the womb. "You are also working deep down in the pelvis area and it is like working in a funnel. It is not like working with a kidney, which is really accessible." Mrs Ottosson said she hoped by talking about the operation it would help bring attention to an otherwise rarely publicised condition. She said: "The girls who have MRKH are a silent group who don't like to talk about it. So we hope that this will help those girls and that by talking about the condition we can encourage medical science to pinpoint what causes it." Sara and her mother are among a small group chosen to take part in the programme. They have undergone tests and are now waiting to hear if they will be the first to undergo the groundbreaking procedure. - telegraph  |
| Rectangular UFO Appears During Thunderstorm - Near Troy, Ohio Posted: 15 Jun 2011 08:41 AM PDT     MUFON CMS - between Piqua and Troy, Ohio - 6/10/2011: A thunderstorm was moving in as I was driving home from Piqua, Ohio to Troy, Ohio (just north of Dayton on I-75)between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. I was driving alone southbound on Troy-Sidney Rd., which is a very pretty alternative to I-75. It was about 90 and extremely humid. I only had my phone camera with me but I really wanted to get a shot of the lightning bolts that I was seeing ahead of me! The storm was coming in from the southwest over Troy. I pulled off the country road, put my flashers on and stood outside my car with my arms resting on the door to stabilize my hands. How lucky do you have to be to catch lighting--especially without a tripod? So, I took lots of pictures, probably about 20 with the hope of capturing some lightning bolts. When I finished taking pictures I had to drive into the storm and it was very scary. It was pouring rain so hard that I couldn't see and then there was hail! A few hours after I got home, I downloaded my pictures to my computer and saw something strange! It's a rectangular, flat looking UFO. I did not see it when I took the picture, and I did not hear anything other than thunder in the distance. We are about 10 or 15 miles north of Dayton airport but this was not a plane coming in for a landing. I would have heard and seen that. Unfortunately, I had my phone camera resolution set pretty low and so it's not a high-quality picture. I was standing outside my car, it was not taken through the windshield. Also, I checked the pictures before and after this one but no object! I tinted picture to see the object better, the original is a color photo. (I'll attach the original and two altered pictures to this report.) I remember seeing something on a UFO TV show once about UFOs being drawn to thunderstorms to get 'charged' up or powered up. That totally makes sense to me and this was a very powerful storm! I'm very curious to learn what this object may have been and if anyone else has seen something similar. Please let me know if you have any more information on it. I'd really appreciate it! Thanks for your time! Diana Brower   NOTE: there have been several previous UFO sightings during thunderstorms. Is it just opportunist...or is there a connection between the storms and sightings?
