Yankee Jim
 
PSICAN prides itself on trying to stay within the confines of our home country... but sometimes, a paranormal report has more than a glancing brush with "home" and we throw caution to the wind and post it up for you to read.

Such is the case with one of America's most famed haunted houses... Whaley House in San Diego.

It wouldn't shock us if most of the ghost enthusiasts reading this article have heard of the Whaley House... it's been covered on multiple television programs and extensively looked into by the late Hans Holzer who referred to it as, "possibly the most haunted house in America".

The story, which you may or may not know, of who the ghost might be centres around a hapless French Canadian named Jim Robinson... or, "Yankee Jim" as he was called because of his love for his temporarily adopted country.

The Materiality Of UFOs PDF Print E-mail
Written by Eric Ouellet Ph.D   
From a phenomenological standpoint, UFOs are perceived as being material, and they leave at times undeniable physical traces. The material aspect of UFOs constitutes, therefore, a fundamental characteristic of the phenomenon which must be integrated into any research about UFOs, ufological or otherwise. Having this key principle in mind, the following review of the literature about the materiality of UFOs is proposed. It is not presented, however, as a complete review of the literature, as many texts in ufology are quite difficult to find. Nevertheless, it is substantial enough to identify with a fair degree of reliability the main ideas about the materiality of UFOs in the literature.

Ectoplasm PDF Print E-mail
Written by Robin Bellamy   

The most important thing to remember about movies is that most are fiction and for entertainment purposes only. Unfortunately, a whole lot of people forgot that when the movie "Ghostbusters" was released. Although a delightful show, the movie did a huge disservice to a little something called "Ectoplasm". Prepare to have some common ideas set aside, if not shattered altogether.

Fastheath dictionary defines ectoplasm as "the outer relatively rigid granule-free layer of the cytoplasm usually held to be a gel reversibly convertible to a solid" or, the outer layer of protoplasm.

Paranormal research "...is beset by True Believers ('They must be, therefore they are!') and True Unbelievers ('They can't be, therefore they aren't!') Rare are those who pursue evidence wherever it may lead, no matter how the results may square with their cherished hopes and dreams. Ironically, both the TBists and the TUists see themselves as champions of objective analysis and critical thinking, when in fact they are defenders of their respective faiths and, not incidentally, their egos."
