There's a guy called James Randi in the States who for years has been offering $1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate psychic ability - but they have to do it under proper experimental conditions. He's had many takers, but so far not one of them has managed to claim the prize. http://www.randi.org/joom/content/view/38/31/

They would have been more useful in saving lives actually, but they're not specific enough, and there's nothing you could do about it anyway. |

Regardless, I don't think I would want to have been in Wolf's or Peter's shoes when they had their experiences, logical explanation or not! LOL! |

I'm not surprised. |

I believe there's a lot going on in the universe that is beyond the realm of what our 5 physical senses can convey to us. Some people refer to it as gut feeling, which is usually very nonspecific, and scientifically unprovable. And yes, there's a lot that just can't be proven by science. Kind of like the light spectrum. It's only a small portion that is visible. |

The reason it's such a powerful process is that it comes up with provisional theories that are then tested against reality - and if the theory fails to explain reality, the theory is adjusted or abandoned. It's the best tool we have for understanding how this amazing universe operates. As you've probably guessed, I'm quite enthusiastic about science! |

I know the photo is genuine ---it was taken about 6.30. p.m.on a clear, frosty evening in February 2005 when I was on my way to a concert in the Cathedral, and Palace Green, where the pic. was taken, was unusually deserted. When I viewed the thumbnail pictures from a disc on my TV ( I didn't get my computer until nov 2007) I was quite surprised to see the "face" appear, and I believe there must be some technical reason for it---perhaps something to do with the lights--I don't know. I was recently told of the Durham Death March in 1650---here's a link for those interested in the full story----www.scotwars.com/battle of Dunbar 1650 |
