Unfortunately, all of our slots for Maria (first & alternates) are filled for this taping. But, stay tuned. We have Maria on the show about twice a year. Thanks for tuning into the program!
Best regards,
Jim

Aspiring writers, here is a chance to be included in Jim’s upcoming book – Jim Harold’s Campfire: True Ghost Stories. My publisher, New Page Books, came up with the idea to feature a listener’s written essay in the book! I think it is a great concept. Hopefully, we’ll discover some new talent!
If you’d like to have an essay based on your paranormal experience featured in the book to be published in September 2011, you can enter this contest. One winner will be selected based on merit and we reserve the right not to select a winner if there is not a suitable entry. Here are the details:
1. You must be 18 years of age or older
2. You must be willing to have the story included in the book
3. One entry per contestant
4. The essay should be approximately 1,000 words in length
5. You must complete this form AND email a copy of your essay in .doc (Word) format to jim@jimharold.com. Failure to do both will disqualify you.
6. Winner will be selected based on merit of the essay. Judging will be totally subjective.
7. Write away & good luck! The deadline for entry is June 14th at 12 Midnight (Eastern Time US)

A very interesting video that I found…how to fake UFO Video. Source: Discovery News
Please don’t do this! UFO hoaxers only delay getting to the truth about the phenomena!

Loyd Auerbach sent me an excellent note on resources for free public domain paranormal books. It was such a great note that I asked his permission to repost it here. Thanks Loyd!

Jim,
Here’s info on the free ebooks.
There are literally hundreds of free ebook versions of books and journals having to do with the paranormal from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many have also been converted to the ereader formats used by Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes & Noble’s Nook — both have free ereader software for your PC or Mac, as well as apps for iPhones and Android phones.
One of the best sites to find these for your computer in more generic formats is the Internet Archive, archive.org — that’s where I originally downloaded the titles (hundreds!)
In general, you can find them also by going to Google Books, books.google.com
But here’s the catch: they have not all been tagged for the subjects in the best manner, so searching can be a bit weird.
Search on the following terms, some of which will bring up titles with these words, some with tagged items. Note that some of these terms will bring up texts in other languages and also some unrelated books — especially the term “ghost”. As you find these, other terms will also occur to you.
psychical
spiritualist
ghosthunter
apparition
haunting
ghost
spirit photography
spiritism
spiritualism
seance
psychic
psychometry
haunted house
occult
For a good start, try these author searches:
Frank Podmore
Oliver Lodge
William Crookes
James Hyslop
Cesare Lombroso
Frederick Myers
Catherine Crowe
Hereward Carrington
William Barrett
James Coates
William Denton
John Arthur Hill
Elliott O’Donnell
Amy E. Tanner
Daniel Dunglas Home
Look especially for the following:
Proceedings and Journals of the Society for Psychical Research and the American Society for Psychical Research
Phantasms of the Living
Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death
Apparitions and Thought Transference
After Death, What?
The Night Side of Nature
FYI: I purchased a Nook several months ago, and now have a library of over 300 (and growing) of these books available on my Nook, PC and Droid phone. Some even deal with spirit photography and include the photos.

Physicist Dr. Michio Kaku talks about astronomers hitting the “jackpot” with the recent discovery of Gliese 589g…the planet that is the most earth-like ever discovered. Dr. Kaku calls it the “Holy Grail”…see more in this great clip.

A fantastic recap of this week’s news as it relates to the September 27, 2010 National Press Club UFO Press Conference. Also, I have included the most complete video I can find of the event (Source: YouTube/CNN).
I can’t take credit for the recap below, I was sent this by someone in the UFO community — not sure if he/she wants to be identified so I’ll leave the name out but you know who you are. Thank you!
Please let me know if you know of a better version of the above video. Note: The black lines are an artifact of the video, do not adjust your screen. Please send more links if you have them!

Stars and Stripes (military website)
Please send more links if you have them!

Today, a major press conference was held at the National Press Club regarding UFOs and members of the US military who have witnessed UFO phenomena. Below are some high quality clips from the event.
Two of the major participants in today’s event were past guests on the Paranormal Podcast. If you want to hear their stories in depth, we go into major detail in these two audio interviews. Here are links to both:
Jim Harold/Robert Salas Interview (Aug 2010)
Jim Harold/Robert Hastings Interview (March 2009)
As promised, below are clips from today’s event. As soon as I can find the full press conference, I will post it here as well.
