I just stumbled upon this article while on aim.

It was five years ago when Frank Jones' wife and son died unexpectedly. His son, Steven, died of a brain tumor at an early 32. Three months later, his wife, Sadie died from a heart attack at the age of 69.

Sadie was a cell phone addict. "She always had a mobile with her," Jones told the Blackpool Gazette. So, of course, they buried Sadie with her cell phone.

Now Jones believes Sadie is getting service six feet under, and she has been sending him text messages with words only Sadie would say. Of course, there is no return number on the messages or missed calls, leading Jones to believe the communications are form his deceased wife.

Creepy? Yes. But here's where things get creepier: The house Jones lives in has a history of hauntings from a being called "The Thornton Thing". The entity drove a family from the house in 1971, and after the Jones family suffered hauntings as well, they had the house exorcised.

It wasn't until the untimely deaths of his wife and son did Jones start experiencing messages from beyond. The obvious question we can't help asking: What kind of service does one get up there? She's clearly getting a lot of dropped calls.

I have a mirror that is like a reproduction of the mirrors that you would often see in homes back in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century-heavy, dark, and decorative. (A picture is attached for a better glimpse of it.) The mirror is not the problem nor has it been a problem with me. However, it's seems to creep a friend of mine out each time she sees it.

I know this may be due to the fact that mirror appears to be older than it really is and she is, probably, associating it with something she seen in a horror movie about an old haunted house. But one little thing has occurred when she looked at it in the middle of the night that made her "creeped out" feeling worse. 

According to her she had seen a man standing in front of the mirror dressed in overalls when she was in the room one night. I have never seen nor experience anything unusual in this room and didn't really believe her and thought she may have just been seeing things, as she was stress out and tired at the time.

I guess my questions are, how much credit should I give this person in regards to what she has seen? And could it be that she may be more sensitive then I am and that there could have been something there?

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- A nine-year-old girl who went to
hospital suffering from stomach pains was found to be carrying her
embryonic twin, doctors in central Greece said Thursday.

Doctors
at Larissa General Hospital examined the girl and surgically removed a
growth they later discovered was an embryo about six centimeters (more
than two inches) long.

"They could see on the right side that her
belly was swollen, but they couldn't suspect that this tumor would hide
an embryo," hospital director Iakovos Brouskelis said.

The girl has made a full recovery, he said.

Andreas
Markou, head of the hospital's pediatric department, said the embryo
was a formed fetus with a head, hair and eyes, but no brain or
umbilical cord.

Markou said cases where one of a set of twins absorbs the other in the womb occur in one of 500,000 live births.

The girl's family did not want to be identified, hospital officials said.
