3 Cases of Out-Of-Body Experiences Where People Saw Impossible Sights Later Verified by the Living

Some people who have had close brushes with death report leaving their physical bodies, sometimes floating around and observing scenes in their vicinity — or even places further away. On occasion, what they describe afterward can be verified; researchers of near-death experiences (NDEs), who have attempted to verify or dismiss this, have tried to determine…


Surgeons Find Evidence of a Soul After Patient Describes Operating Room After Declared Dead for 20 Minutes

Dutch near-death-experience (NDE) researchers have compiled more than 70 cases of people who’ve purportedly left their bodies and observed scenes they could not have perceived with their physical senses. The details of what they saw—for example, actions performed by people in the hospital—could be verified, providing perhaps some of the strongest evidence for the mind’s…


Neuroscientist Explores How Dreams Could Predict Terror Attacks, Future Events: ‘Mental Time Travel’

There are rules in the physical world that don’t apply to the mental one. In a dream, you can fly. One can imagine a squirrel talking to one’s self. The realm of dreams and imagination is, however, often thought to be self-contained, with no tangible bearing on the real world. But the study of precognition…


How It Started How It’s Going: NASA Releases New Space Telescope Photo of ‘Pillars of Creation’ Nebula, Star Nursery

Comparing old Hubble observatory pictures with ones from the brand-new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a bit like contrasting grainy VHS tape with crisp, laser-sharp 4K. NASA just released this show-stopping new nebula photo, adorned with countless baby stars sparkling like cosmic Christmas decorations, and it’s enough to make your knees wobble. The Pillars of…


17 Out-of-Place Artifacts That Suggest High-Tech Civilizations Existed Thousands—or Millions—of Years Ago

According to our conventional view of history, humans have only walked the Earth in our present form for some 200,000 years. Much of the mechanical ingenuity we know of in modern times began to develop only a couple hundred years ago, during the Industrial Revolution. However, evidence today alludes to advanced civilizations existing as long…


Orionid Meteor Shower to Peak in the Night Sky Late October—Here’s How You Can Catch the Light Show

It was 1986 when the last casual observer spotted Halley’s Comet shedding its detritus throughout the heavens far above the Earth. But every year around late October, Earth passes through that trail of space dust and debris left in the comet’s wake. When these bits of matter strike our atmosphere, they burn up, turning into…


Researchers Unearth ‘Rare’ Roman Mosaic With Amazon Warriors and Neptune in Former Rebel Stronghold in Syria

Syrian researchers have uncovered a large intact mosaic that dates back to the Roman era, describing it on Oct. 12 as the most important archaeological discovery since the country’s conflict began 11 years ago. Journalists were shown the mosaic in the central town of Rastan near Homs, Syria’s third-largest city. The mosaic, measuring around 1300…


Scientist Discovers That Humans Have a Mysterious Bioenergy Field That Mystics Have Always Known About

For thousands of years, mystics have alluded to the presence of a biologically generated energy field, or aura, surrounding humans. Now scientific investigation indicates this may be more than mere mysticism and folklore. Biochemist John Norman Hansen, Ph.D., at the University of Maryland has found evidence that such an energy field could be real, lending credence to…


Archeologists Unearth 44 Pure Gold Byzantine Coins Stashed in Stone Wall During Invasion 1,400 Years Ago

Whoever hid the gold coins between the stones of the wall probably fled the city, fearing invasion. Perhaps they planned to retrieve their treasure later—but it seems they were unsuccessful. Some 1,400 years ago, the ancient city of Paneas (later called Banias), located near Israel’s northern border, was beset by Muslim conquest during the establishment…
