Friday the 13th ‑ Origins, History & Superstition Long considered a harbinger of bad luck, Friday the 13th has inspired countless superstitions—as well as a late 19th‑century secret society, an early 20th‑century novel and a horror film franchise.

Conjuring Sasquatch: When Lorraine Warren Met Bigfoot 05/30/2024

For those who though still think Ed and Warren Lorraine are credible I suggest you read their 1989 book, Ghost Hunters. This is a section of the book that is always, and I MEAN always ignored by parapsychologists, paranormal investigators and Bigfooters because of its bizarre nature. To accept this as true is to destroy anything the Warrens have said and put to rest any debate on their credibility. This is why careful research and thoughtful analysis is so important. It is difficult to maintain a respected or credible reputation in parapsychology so something like this throws out EVERYTHING you have ever said and NOTHING you have done can be relied on. (For the record: I believe a small number of these creatures could exist in isolated areas of the Pacific Northwest and especially British Columbia and the Yukon. But no where else. The conditions these creatures, if they exist are not replicated anywhere else. A few trees and a hill is not enough to say BF could exist there. And certainly not the desert. and if anyone has to explain why to you, you are delusional at worst and over eager at best-DW)

Conjuring Sasquatch: When Lorraine Warren Met Bigfoot Ed and Lorraine Warren are known for Amityville and Annabelle, but there's one strange tale you won't see in The Conjuring: the time Lorraine met Bigfoot.

The Impossibility of Knowledge of Retrocognitive Knowledge Is it possible to prove the existence of retrocognition if precognition also exists, because precognition could be used to foresee any proof found of retrocognition? Does this also disprove precognition as well?
