We invite our members as well as the public to join us for a new weekly radio program hosted by John Rossi and Mike Jones that features relevant topics and issues in a very informal atmosphere. Members are encouraged to join in the chat room, call in for “pop-in” guest appearances, and to have an educationally fun time! Members, want to try co-hosting? No problem! Just let us know! This program will not replace our regular radio program on Thursdays, but occasionally special guests will be scheduled.

Skeptical Reality of Ghost Hunting From the Desk of Brian D. Parsons
I typically ignore what the hardcore skeptics have to say about the paranormal field. A healthy dose of skepticism is good for any type of scientific endeavor in order to keep things balanced, but many times the hardcore skeptics have an axe to grind and will argue just for the sake of arguing. I will admit, however, that I will frequently read skeptical magazines and view skeptical websites just to see what is going on with the other side as well as to keep myself grounded. Read

Members celebrating birthdays: November 28: Alexandre Malkov (31)
‘Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh and to be able to grow.’ -Elizabeth Kubler-Ross Can we
quote you on that?
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays from ParaNexus!

Photography Special!
Parapedia Some articles you might find interesting: Kirlian Photography
A photographic method involving high frequency electric current, discovered by S.D. & V. Kirlian in the Soviet Union. Kirlian photographs often show colored halos or “auras” surrounding objects. Kirlian photography has found a place in both formal and alternative medicine, and even in agriculture.
Thought Photography
Thought Photography, or “thoughtography,” a term coined by Tomokicchi Fukarai [1], is a type of paranormal photography in which a living person psychically projects an image on a photographic plate or film. Usually a camera is used, however, many images have been imprinted directly on photographic film or paper, shielded from light in a black envelope, box or dark slide. This form of thought photography is called skotography.

Just a Few Benefits of Membership... A Shared Professional and Serious Research Vision. ParaNexus is founded upon a grounded and serious approach to understanding paranormal and anomalous phenomena. We are not an ephemeral or temporary organization, but rather, a dedicated association with a “make it happen” attitude. Our vision is to rally the expertise of many, to think outside the box, and to rethink standard approaches which so often lead to dead ends. We believe that we can make headway into a better understanding of anomalous phenomena by attracting talented individuals who bring their education and skills to bear on the paranormal enigma. We also do not dismiss the role that the human psyche plays in reported phenomena. As an association, we also strive to support our members in their research and investigations by offering assistance in evidence review, feedback on hypotheses, online research tools, encouragement, and other support.

Photography Special! Just for fun!
Fact or Fiction?
We want to see your photographs of ghosts!
This week, we are encouraging members to submit their photos of ghosts! These can be real, unedited photos or you can try to trick us with a doctored image. Photos submitted will be put in the next newsletter and fellow members can guess if your photo is “fact” or “fiction.” The reveal will happen the following week when photos will be in the newsletter again with votes beside each image for fact or fiction and of course, we’ll tell you if you guessed right! E-mail your entry to Jessica at jpedlar@paranexus.org with the subject: Fact or fiction Please be sure to mention in your email who took the photo and whether or not you’ve added the ghost yourself (don’t worry - I won’t tell!). Photos must be submitted by Sunday, November 21, 2010.
