-Why are ghosts so popular?
-Why is there a 'paranormal community'?
-Does the paranormal offer a way to be 'religious'...without being religious?'

Personal Post: For the last few months I’ve been having some investigations into a possible benign tumour in my head. Being a bit of a health anxiety guy, the thought wasn’t fun. But now my MRI results are back and all is well, nothing sinister! And I’m super happy about it.

Four examples of 1970s science fiction novel art by Mariella Anderlini (who used the pseudonym Allison, to avoid damaging her career as a professional painter). From 1969 to 1988 she produced many strange and beautiful book covers mainly for the Italian publisher Libra Editrice.

When I was growing up, I would occasionally have a moment of revelation that ‘this experience is happening right NOW.’ Like a sudden awareness of being fully conscious everything around me. It wasn’t good or bad. Just interesting. Was anybody else a weirdo like me?

The 17th century was a time of great spiritual upheaval. Many believed the world was filled with grim omens. Like those on the banks of the Thames River in London, who claimed to see a witch walking across the water. (Source: Witchfinders, Malcolm Gaskill, p22)

Regardless of your politics, proudly shouting that you have absolutely no sympathy for someone who just lost their job, under impossible pressures, or insisting that the tears they shed are fake and self-seeking, feels to me, depressingly unkind.
