The One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge

One million dollars is yours. All you have to do is capture scientifically credible proof that a single ghost exists, or otherwise demonstrate concrete evidence of the paranormal.

James Randi—AKA The Amazing Randi—is a former stage magician and paranormal skeptic who for the last 50 years has offered a hefty cash prize to anyone who could demonstrate the paranormal in a scientifically controlled test. Randi began with a $1,000 offer of his own money in 1964, and currently offers the $1 million award through The James Randi Eductional Foundation, an organization “founded in 1996 to help people defend themselves from paranormal and pseudoscientific claims.” [Read more…] about CATCH A GHOST, WIN A MILLION

Finding And Sharing Photos And Videos Of Ghosts

All my life, I’ve been hoping to see one clear, unambiguous photo of an actual ghost—definitive proof that disembodied spirits actually exist. I’m still waiting, but I continue to hope. The image above, by the way, is a composite work created by an artist in Poland who makes no claims for its ghostly veracity.

Of course, I’ve seen plenty of purported ghost photos. Some were laughably obvious hoaxes; others were earnest attempts by honest ghost hunters to capture an image of what they were certain was an authentic spook. And while some of the latter were intriguing, and clearly deserved a level of further scientific scrutiny I wasn’t qualified to give them, there’s been nothing to convince me beyond a ghostly shadow of a doubt.

Still, I keep looking. And I’m never disappointed because, not only do I hold my expectations reasonably low, but I find ghost photos and haunted-house videos to be entertaining—a great deal of fun, in fact—regardless of whether I think they’re completely credible.
