Psychic Comes Close! But Still a Bit Off…
A psychic gave a tip to the friends of a missing woman, instructing them to search for her body in a state park. Amazingly, the searchers found bones! Not so amazingly, the bones were from a deer. I suppose we can’t begrudge psychics for missing a few details here and there – like species, for example.

The Really Magic Kingdom
Just a short drive from Disney World in Florida is the Disney World of the supernatural – a small town named Cassadaga, founded over a century ago by a spiritualist who was brought there by his Native American spirit guide. Sadly, there is no ethereal Mickey Mouse. You can, however, take exciting pictures of orbs, and attend séances complete with tapping messages and moving tables. Yep, nothing like 19th-century parlor tricks. The reporter asks one of the “psychics” outright if he was the one moving the table at one of the seances. His response? “I just say everybody gets the experience that they expect and some get more than they expect. This is not for everybody.” To translate, in bullshit-psychic speak, that means, “Yes, I was moving the table.”

Psychic Predicts Trouble for Client; Prediction Comes True After Psychic Steals $50,000 from Him
An Australian man was allegedly bilked out of $50,000 after visiting a psychic who told him she could get rid of a curse that was on him. In his first reading with the psychic, she noted that he had “been having a lot of troubles, nothing has been going right,” and then informed him of the curse. The man paid her the 50 grand for two psychic “baths” that were supposed to cleanse his house of evil. He didn’t get a receipt, and the psychic, predictably, denies having received that much money. It seems the bit about him “having a lot of troubles” was pretty accurate. Hey, maybe there is something to this psychic thing after all.

Is it really a miracle if everybody has one?
Jesus turned up in another tree, this time in Memphis, Tennessee. Good to see he’s continuing to spread the love.

And There He is Again…
Jesus appeared in the wood grain of an altar at a church in Texas. I don’t want to sound too heretical here (and that is frequently a concern of mine, as I’m sure everyone is aware), but the image looks quite a bit more like a goat, or some other creature with horns. They might want to rethink their miracle… they were also contemplating relocating the church, but the image on the altar has made them decide to leave it at its present location. Now, I don’t want to sound like an armchair Bishop, but I can’t help but think that looking at random wood patterns might not be the best way to make decisions for the church. But then, what do I know.

Virgin Mary Tree Survives Arson Attempt
Someone tried to set a “Virgin Mary” tree on fire, but Mary is still intact. Foolish mortal, you cannot burn the Virgin Mary! The owner of the house had put his house on the market, but concern over the tree has made him rethink his decision to sell. Now I don’t want to sound like an armchair realtor, but I can’t help but think that random patterns in a tree might not be the best criteria for deciding whether to sell one’s house. And on the bright side, even if the new owners get rid of the tree, it’s not like the fans can’t just drive to the next nearest town and see their Virgin Mary tree. I’m a little surprised Wal-Mart hasn’t started planting these things at their stores. It could be a gold mine. Hmm…

Jesus on a Stick
Just like the headline says. Forgoing an entire tree, Jesus appeared on a stick. The stick does look remarkably like a crucified person – in a weird, twisted, Tim Burton-esque sort of way.

And Finally, the Virgin Mary Pays a Visit to a Watermelon
A woman cut open a watermelon and saw none other than The Virgin Mary! The article has a picture, but this one beats the hell out of me. If you flip it upside-down, it kind of looks like a Gremlin. Her co-workers weren’t very charitable, and advised the woman that she should throw the watermelon away. I can kinda see their point: keeping rotting food in one’s house isn’t particularly hygienic. Cleanliness is Godliness, after all.
