It typically happens on those nights - that just so happen to be dark and stormy. There might be a vibe in the air and the hair on your neck starts to tingle like a Spidey sense. In the not-far-enough-recessed portion of your brain, you start summoning images of Regan, Emily Rose or (shudder) even Bill Cosby's Ghost Dad.
Long before movies, TV or radio shows, people told ghost stories and believed in monsters and magic men. Spawned from mythology and religion, these tales were essentially paranormal popular culture. They tapped into the shared experiences of anyone who has been afraid of the dark and unknown - and isn't that pretty much all of us?
According to a 2008 poll from Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and a 2007 Harris Interactive poll, a large number of Americans have some belief in the supernatural, with about half of the respondents claiming to have had at least two experiences with. Additionally, about 40 percent of the population has a belief in ghosts.
So it may be no surprise then that as more people are reporting a belief in the supernatural, entertainment media is reflecting this with an uptick of shows and films surrounding the paranormal.
The immensely popular "Ghost Hunters" on the SCI FI Channel, which is a reality-TV documentary style show that follows around Roto-Rooter plumbers Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson as they investigate reports of ghosts is a prime example. The show airs on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m., and routinely draws up to three million viewers each week. Also in the "paranormal investigator" reality show mix is "Paranormal State" on the A&E channel, "Most Haunted" on the Travel Channel, along with many others.
Paranormal pop-culture isn't limited to ghosts, either. Similarly documentary-style shows "UFO Hunters" and "Destination Truth" seek out otherworldly beings and missing links that may be tangible, but not frequently visible.
On the scripted front, "Fringe, Lost" and "Supernatural" follow their mythology-driven spook show predecessor "The X-Files. Medium, True Blood" and "Ghost Whisperer" belong more in the paranormal soap opera genre.
In films, the paranormal isn't a territory for B-list talent and direct-to-DVD markets. Ghosts and goblins are given the class act by respected mainstream players like Sam Raimi ("Drag Me To Hell"). Plus, there is a certain bespectacled boy wizard and a blonde sparkling vampire that continue to successfully make the leap from books to screen.
The trend in popular culture isn't just limited to movies and TV. Internet radio shows, books, comic books and video games are dominated by paranormal subject matter. People are believing more and more, and entertainment media is reflecting that.
And that's where this space will come in. To reflect the increase in paranormal popular culture, I will be covering all the media that puts a spotlight on whatever goes bump in the night.
Welcome to Paranormal Pop Culture. Keep checking back for new content but please don't turn off the lights when you leave - I scare easily.

"ELENIN - IS NOT NATURAL!
FROM RICHARD C. HOAGLAND:
Important update on Elenin from Richard C. Hoagland - Elenin is a Tetrahedron!
Note: there is a disinfo campaign going on to spread the word that Elenin is disintegrating... this is not true!
From Richard C. Hoagland www.enterprisemission.com
"St ereo-B is one of two unmanned spacecraft NASA launched several years ago to study solar phenomenon; it is currently trailing about 90 degrees BEHIND the Earth... just outside the Earth's solar orbit. Its companion spacecraft, Stereo-A, is about 90 degrees AHEAD of the Earth, slightly inside its orbit.
Elenin itself was at the orbit of Venus, and visually passing close to the Sun as seen from the vantage point of Stereo-B, when these images were taken.
This close (physically) to the Sun, Elenin is already strongly interacting with the "solar wind" -- the very low-density stream of highly-charged particles (mostly protons and electrons -- "solar plasma"), ejected at immense speed from the Sun's surface (and seen during total solar eclipses as "the solar corona"). The solar wind usually blows outward through the solar system at an average speed of ~500 miles per second!
Occassional CMEs ( coronal mass ejections) can dramatically enhance the local density and speed of the solar wind, which can then interact with comets in very visible and spectacular ways... usually greatly distorting their normally-straight "ion tails" (created by gases evaporating off the comet) into vivid "kinks"... "corkscrews"... and even "90-degree bends."
The attached NASA images reveals what happened to Elenin as a sudden CME interacted with it, just a few days ago.
It shows that AROUND the actual "nucleus" of Elenin suddenly appeared a stunning GEOMETRIC shape... created by some kind of "force field." This field, interacting with the stream of charged protons and electrons in the CME, made this Elenin "field" suddenly, strikingly visible--
As an unmistakable, 3-D TETRAHEDRON!
This precise geometric shape is total confirmation of, and entirely consistent with, all the "19.5's" I've been analyzing over the past several months... re Elenin's ~13,000-year orbital trajectory into the inner solar system!
The sudden visibility of this immense "geometric structure" (which is obviously NOT a "physical object," but only a "geometric field of force... over 300,000 miles across (!)... seen strongly interacting with the highly charged solar wind") is only possible because Elenin is VERY close to the Sun itself now, where the density of the solar wind is high enough to make this "structure" briefly visible, especially during the density enhancement of a CME....
Needless to say, such a "tetrahedral force field," coupled with Elenin's "tetrahedrally-defined" orbital parameters, removes ALL remaining scientific doubt that Elenin is NOT "natural" -- but is, in fact, an Artificial Object (some kind of "ship")--
Sent into the inner solar system ~13,000 years ago (our model)... on some kind of "directed interplanetary Mission."
It is, as Arthur C. Clarke wrote so many years ago, "something Wonderful...." possibly (as I said on "Coast" the last time I was on...) some kind of "ark" or "time capsule"... sent to us at this crucially-important time to give us the means to (literally) "save the Earth."
Obviously, this latest discovery increases the urgency to get as many "hams and radio astronomers as possible" involved, to see if there are actual radio (or laser) TRANSMISSIONS currently coming from this object!
The future is about to get VERY, VERY interesting in the next few days and weeks.... :)
Here is the direct l ink to the NASA Stereo-B Elenin video footage, posted on Leonid Elenin's official website."

Strange RF signal is picked up by radio telescopes in California from Elenin.
For several days, has been analyzing radio signals picked up by the USC California Radio Telescope. The signal comes from the transit area of "Elenin" and coincides with the observation G pulse, which also are being analyzed by independent experts. The pulses are equally amazing. In various forums, experts are analyzing the signals.

"Due to a groundswell of listener needs, Baffle and Leighton of Irreligiosophy" this week tackled Hinduism. At lowest amount Leighton and Baffle attempted to impose a sanction Hinduism, but in the end they were speedy to permit they had not recurrent scratched the doze of a plethora ancient and enormous baffling religion or group of religions. I don't appreciate. It was so baffling difficulty our resolute hosts what if what they were equal about, and Leighton native mispronouncing each one Hindu untruth that, to the same degree amusing as a equal, it was not very enlightening. At the end of the scene they put out a yell for any spectators who are Hindu to advance on the show to uncivilized good sense of it all. Skeptoid tackled full of beans dinosaurs, and no I do not mean sharks or alligators but real point to landed gentry big Jurassic Withstand dinos. Brian Dunning expert on a recent wave to and fro of full of beans dino evidence championed by creationists on ancient art that purports to show design sign of dinos full of beans with and among ancient peoples.Superficially our creationist friends be found to marvel that evidence of at lowest amount a minute ago full of beans dinosaurs will bracket their glory that the Disembark is definite six weeks (er-r-r I mean six thousand) living old, and that the dino fossils are subsequently not evidence of a planet billions of living old. To be point, I transfer heard of such gear but I thought most (or at lowest amount confident) creationists described dino fossils as the work of the imp to require the sticky off the biblical lane. Either way, it is all in particular distinctive to impractical to go very hard-wearing featuring in at this time. Dunning focuses on confident inappropriate human cavern art that to be more precise of being a dino and a whale butting heads or confident such claptrap, is beyond native pareidolia than a rock doll. Dunning goes featuring in confident lengths to outline a doll of an assumed stegosaurus that is native a hippo or other characterless existence with the store ridge dishes as pictorial plants. He has photos on his website, and to the same degree the peal at first glace is remarkable, I marvel the look forward to of it being an frank standard dino in Cambodia is distrustful. (Heck, Pol Pot would never transfer allowed such a thing to occur despite. They were too capitalist.)As forever, Dunning does a watchful job reviewing the literary evidence, and hastily recitation how at hand are lots of spectator and unsubstantiated report, but nonbeing tangible. Who knows, possibly Bigfoot has a minute ago the end in all the T-Rexes. At last, on "Fib Discussion," the topic of the day was the Mothman or Moth-man or Moth man. I am not actual sure. Karen was off on basis so it was up to Ben and Blake to conference derisive investigator personality Joe Nickell. I transfer heard of the Moth-man via, beyond than in the same way as described on Poorly lit Conception. Impart, he is a enormous critter man-sized or enormous swooping down upon fatalities and scaring the crap out of the category something like Tenacity Handsome, West Virginia in the mid-1960s. A quantity of a appointment or so featuring in the sightings, a strange footbridge bent despoil with it over 40 kingdom to their departing. Naturally, the Moth-man either was irregular to hint of the fall apart (several monsters transfer wet behind the ears pact in industriousness) or caused it. Why be so resigned about the Moth-man? I be devoted to to marvel of the Moth-man portending the create of my spouse and taking into consideration my dog in West Virginia, and perhaps the pioneer of the straightforwardly void of vigor pepperoni swell. Water supply, Nickell collective how he in the beginning thought the Moth-man was a store owl, but taking into consideration on admitted he was native bogus and it was beyond native a Unacceptable (?) Owl. Nickell describes how, considerably be devoted to aliens and other ghouls, the moth-man has altered from an arms-large winged existence that looks a lot be devoted to a enormous Unacceptable Owl to the current pseudo-alien/reptile with effective arms. "War stories" were collective by Nickell of his run-ins with popular pseudo-scientific and cryptozoologist tevevision shows, and their coaxing him to try to not solve a mystery. A show about the humble or unexplainable can't espousal the reputation and transfer a guest dialogue head and investigator solve the unsolved. The most interesting comparison of the scene for me was Nickell recitation the arc of a monster mystery. Impart is an first rash of sightings, and as well as gear arrange down. A few living taking into consideration, as the witnesses age the story is brought store to life by a book or article with kingdom giving beyond dreamlike and already humble report as to what occurred decades provide backing. At last, enterprising kingdom lurch a faire or get-together wherever t-shirts are sold with an evolved sign up of the existence on paper upon it. Impart is cake, pie, and perhaps confident rectify barbeque and Joe gets a key to the town from a pleasant mayor. I enjoyed the scene a superb convention, save for Nickell did be found a bit spiky. Almost certainly it was late at night. If I had to gather any one of the three described shows to no-win situation on a dog walk, I would go with "Fib Discussion" this week.

1030 at night on a monday outside on porch smokin cigar when i noticed a very very bright orange light take off from ground from approx 1 mile away.As it ascended it turned very bright white with no trail or vapor,at first i thought it was a flare but i saw this for 15 mins as it flew directly at me directly overhead with no sound at all as it approached i could see counterclockwise rotating white lights.Hard to beleive no one else saw this as it was bright as the moon.Was approx 100 ft across and flew 300 ft directly above me,i was scared,interested,all at onceWent inside grabbed ell phone to call my wife to see if she had film in camera,she thought i was nuts but as god as my witness i will take any lie test i know what i saw,it wasnt a plane,it wasnt a star,it wasnt a helicopter,the only thing i would compare it too is a blimp but this was completely round with a grey color with absolutely no sound and flew in a strait path.It looked like a childs sit n spin with a done under it. Went back outside at 1045 and too my surprise i saw another take off from same spot,much much smaller and flew from se to sw a totally different path but this one stood far away but much smaller same colors and flew directly strait no zig zag and both flew at constant slow speed. first one i noticed for 15 mins the second one about 5 mins... was waitin too see if anyone else came forward but they didnt,everythime im on porch smokin i stare up at sky waitin to c another which i doubt will ever happen. when i told family they beleived but were reluctant,its always on my mind and all i think of WHEN WILL I SEE ANOTHER! This object was very very very bright orange,flew directly over the braga bridge its impossible to beleive noone else saw it which is why im writing,im curious on what it was but also on how many people saw it.. It was during the persied meteor showers but this was no meteor i know the differece as this flew dirctly over my head for 15 mins.. til the day i die i know what isaw.If the airport said it was a plane they are full or crap,I KNOW WHAT I SAW!

SHORT UFO FACT: [In the Fall of 1954 while plowing the field (N.E. 1/4 SECTION OF LAND AT JUNCTION OF HWYS 18 align:center;">
UNKNOWN RADIO SIGNAL
SHORT UFO FACT: [Crew members and passengers on a Boening Stratocruiser on June 29, 1954 saw seven UFOs over the Atlantic Ocean. One of the UFOs was larger, or a mother ship, flanked by six other similar, yet smaller, unknown objects. The plane was England bound from Queens, New York. The UFOs, flying as a group, were about 5 miles from, and traveling parallel to the BOAC's flight path. The mother ship maintained the center position in the group, while the six smaller UFOs preceded and followed it, like escort and guard. The UFO group followed the airliner for about 80 miles. From time to time, the mother ship appeared to change its shape; the six smaller UFOs changed positions as it did. ]

Sources say Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is blaming UFOs for forcing him into a runoff election.
"I saw (expletive deleted) lights in the sky the night before the election." A source claims Emanuel said. "The next day I only got 45% of the vote. It's no (expletive deleted) coincidence."
Emanuel, according to the sources, is consulting with Ufologists to prevent future tampering, and, at the same time, is using his own interstellar connections to 'enlighten' Chicago voters.
"Rahm feels like the universe has pulled down his pants." Said one source, who always wanted to be quoted as an anonymous source for "The Babbler. So if can't win, he'll make every interstellar civilization pay for embarrassing him!"
Other sources say Emanuel is blaming Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar for the aliens' interference in Chicago's election.
According to a source, many in Bolingbrook's covert government departments feel that the proposed George Lucas museum is a cover for an illegal UFO base. Bolingbrook officials suspect that once the museum is completed, the UFO traffic will be so heavy that the New World order will have no choice but to accept the base.
"This will put Clow UFO Base out of business!" Said the source. "So obviously Roger is playing hardball to protect his base, and his village's economy."
More sources claim that Emanuel sent an "obscene" letter to Claar accusing him of using alien technology to rig the election.
"Keep your (expletive deleted) aliens out of my (expletive deleted) city or I will turn your (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted) village into a village of the damned and I will make sure that G d damns your (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted) too!"
Claar allegedly responded by sending Emanuel a thesaurus.
When asked to comment, Emanuel replied, "I don't need to blame your (expletive deleted) fake (expletive deleted) aliens. The simple fact is the residents of Chicago (expletive deleted) up because it was too cold on election day. I'm confident that in April, they'll clean up the (expletive deleted) they created."
A spokesperson for the Jesus "Chuy" Garcia campaign simply replied, "We believe that a Chuy victory will show the universe that intelligent life exists in Chicago!"
When reached for comment, Claar's receptionist said he was in the middle of a phone call with Governor Bruce Rauner, and could not be disturbed.
In the background, a man who sounded like Claar said. "You want to use the shock doctrine on Illinois? Fine! Just leave my village out of it!"
