FREAKY FRIDAY:

Have you ever heard any alien abduction stories that made you wonder if these sorts of things really do happen?  Or have you seen a freaky movie about alien abduction that made you also kind of curious. With the great big emptiness that outer space is, could it not be possible there are other beings out there, and do they really come in the night and kidnap us? Well prepare to get even more freaked out because here is a web site you can check out, if you dare, that offer plenty of alien abduction stories and much more.

UFOseek.com is a forum styled web site that offers tons of alien abduction stories, pictures and more. They also have a section dedicated to UFOs and other flying objects. This site is free to use, but be careful lest you get freaked out!

FREAKY FRIDAY: 

As the largest fetish market in the world, Akodessewa Fetish Market in Lomé, Togo is a haven for voodoo practitioners.

By fetish, we’re referring to talismans that are used in voodoo healing. Things like crocodile heads, chimpanzee hands, cobras and bones. Lots of bones.

This makes the market, in effect, one giant pharmacy. 

Believe it or not Peregrine Adventures conducts tours to Togo’s spookiest market; www.peregrineadventures.com.

FREAKY FRIDAY:  Tree Climbing Goats

These tree climbing goats are found in Morocco. They only climb Argan fruit trees to eat the argan fruit which is like an olive. Farmers often follow these herds of goats to collect nuts which they spit out and make argan oil out of them. Argan oil is used in cooking and cosmetics.

Yes, I use Argan oil on my hair for the shine factor, wow…I didn’t realize it came from goat spit.  Hey, Argan oil is awesome so this won’t stop me from using it but it sure made me laugh.

FREAKY FRIDAY: The Curse of William Penn

There was an unwritten rule in Philadelphia that states no building is to be taller than City Hall because of a statue of William Penn at the top of City Hall. 

In 1987, a new skyscraper was built that was taller than City Hall and before this the Philadelphia sport teams had many successes. However, over the next two decades, Philadelphia would narrowly lose many championships.

Then in 2007, the Comcast building finished construction and the Comcast building became the tallest building. The builders, in the hopes of lifting the curse, then placed a small figurine of Penn on the Comcast’s needle-eerily. Apparently, this worked because the following year the Phillies won the World Series.

FREAKY FRIDAY: 

The word freaky denotes a negative image to some but to me it means odd occurrences and/or happenings.

Many of us have encountered freaky moments and these moments bring wonderment into our lives as an awakening on some level.

One of my freaky moments is when a boy from grade school called me to say I was his first love and he never forgot me especially since I broke his heart. Well, of course, I was defensive, at first saying, “Hey I was only a 5th grader.” He let me off the hook by letting me know that it was a special time in his life because as a class, in elementary school, we put together a time bottle which we buried. The reason he called was to remind me of the time bottle.

What a special soul to call someone from the past to remind them about sweet moments we shared as children. Today we are still friends and he still is thinking about going to the school yard and digging up our time bottle.

FREAKY FRIDAY: Humberstone and LaNoria

In 1872, the town was founded as a saltpeter mine and business was booming until the business declined and then collapsed in 1958. The town of Humberstone and it’s surrounding towns were abandoned by 1960. Treatment of workers in both towns bordered on slavery, and now the towns are abandoned.

It is rumored that the dead of the La Noria cemetery rise at night and walk around the town, and ghostly images frequently show up in photographs in Humberstone. These towns are so terrifying, the residents of nearby Iquique refuse to enter them. The former residents never left, and can be seen walking around, and children have been heard playing. The cemetery of La Noria, regardless of whether its occupants actually walk at night, contains opened graves where the bodies are fully exposed, leaving those who come across the bodies wondering why.

FREAKY FRIDAY: Wacky Physics 

The Uncertainty Principle formulated by German physicist, Werner Heisenberg, in 1927 states that the more precisely you measure a particle’s position, the less precisely you will be able to determine its momentum, and vice versa.

In a recent experiment a scientist was observing particles move in a certain motion and at a certain point the particles halted and disappeared.  Yet, when there was no scientist observing the experiment the particles acted in the predicted way.

The principle is often invoked outside the realm of physics to describe how the act of observing something changes the thing being observed, or to point out that there’s a limit to how well we can ever really understand the universe.

So, the wives tale about the watched pot will never boil is true?  Or is that the water takes longer to boil.  

Freaky particles are messing with us humans.

FREAKY FRIDAY:

St. Augustine has been appropriately named the “Nation’s Oldest City and to the locals the area is known as the “Ancient City.”  St. Augustine is the oldest city in America and is also known as the most haunted places in America.  

One of the most haunted areas of this “Ancient City” is Castillo de San Marcos, or “The Old Fort.”  If you are a ghost hunter, or simply want to experience an area that is known for its true ghost stories, a trip to “The Old Fort” is an absolute must! “The Castillo de San Marcos’ architecture and detail are distinctive and unique. It is the oldest masonry and only extant 17th century fort in North America” 

Just keep in mind that all throughout the fort you can experience paranormal activity and here is what you can expect as you walk this haunted space.

1.  The watch tower is closest to the road and a light ignites on nights that are relatively stormy. There is no power going to this particular light.  

2. It is not unusual for a solider that is lavishly dressed in clothing that represents the era of the Spanish to be seen looking out to the vast sea. This is normally experienced when the sun is just starting to rise, or when the sun is setting. 

3. In the dungeon of the fort, many individuals have experienced strange sensations, the feeling of being touched, and many individuals have even experienced physical sickness in the dungeon for no apparent reason. 

4. Many ghost pictures and ghost videos have been taken at this particular monument. It is not uncommon for individuals to capture strange lights, orbs, rods, spheres, and even distinct apparitions composed of strange mists.
