 Stephen Young was sentenced to life in prison for the 1993 double murder of newly weds Harry and Nicola Fuller.
However, the verdict of guilty was soon overruled, and a retrial called for, as a "material irregularity" had taken place - the verdict came from a Ouija Board...

 Giovanni Aldini was the nephew of Luigi Galvani, the man who discovered that a dead frogs legs could be made to kick with the application of a spark.
Aldini carried out similar experiments, but took them to the next level once he obtained the corpses of freshly executed criminals.  Electronic Voice Phenomenon - EVP - is the recording of an apparent 'ghostly' voice or sound, caught on sound recording technology.
These are thought to be voices from the other side, that recorders are sensitive enough to pick up, but the human ear cannot otherwise hear.  Mellified Man is a sweet, human medicine, said to cure any illness. An elderly man would diet on, and bathe in, nothing but honey, until he became 'mellifluous'.
His body would be interred in a stone coffin, also filled with honey, and sealed for a hundred years. After the allotted time, the result was a mummified human corpse, preserved in a sweet substance - a much sought after medicine, capable of curing a wide range of ailments.  In a 1896 edition of 'Popular Science Monthly' David Starr Jordan, the president of Stanford University, published an article about a new form of photography. Sympsychography was the name of the new technique that allowed invisible brainwaves to be shown on a photographic plate.
The first test of this new technique involved a person directing their thoughts of a cat towards a plate. When the plate was processed, the image of a cat was visible. However, not all was as it seemed...  Bloody Mary is one of the most popular urban legends with the 'ritual' practised by young people all over the world. Each country and region has its own twist to the legend, but all have one thing in common; the idea is to try to invoke the spirit of a very angry woman!
But who was 'Bloody Mary' and what can happen if she answers your calling? Where did the legend originate? Is there any danger in what seems like an innocent game?  Does the human soul have weight and can you measure it at the time of death?
Doctor Duncan "Om" MacDougall asked these questions and set out to find the answers. After weighing twelve dying patients at the moment of death he had his answer: 21 grams. |
