people out but i felt bad for the man. I asked someone to cover for me and went to help him. I found him staring at the jean section with a blank look in his eyes. We started hunting for those size ten regular jeans that seemed to as nonexistent as bigfoot. It took an hour and thirty minutes to find all the jeans that the customer needed. Afterwards I checked him out and I asked…
science. Many believe that religion, the brain, and the human need to have explanations to things that they don’t know, are reasons that influence one’s belief in the paranormal. In P.J. Olson’s “Paranormal America: Ghost Encounters, UFO Sighting, Bigfoot Hunts, and Other”, “...by showing how religion...fosters divine/human experiences, motivates people to act in benevolent ways,” (Olson, 2011, 381) supports the idea of religious influences. In the Chinese culture and…
rate for “true” was (m = 2.59, sd = 1.1) this was very close to the “false” fortunes read which was (m = 2.61, sd = 1.3). During the supernatural belief test, the one that had the highest rating was astrology coming in at (m = 2.9, sd = 1.2) and Bigfoot coming in at the lowest (m = 1.9, sd = 0.8). (Hughes, M. L. 2001). An opportunity sample of 305 participants (64 male participants, and 241 female participants) completed the study. The study included testing on two areas: paranormal factors,…
There was many rumors about the “Unknown”, like people going missing, and people finding dead bodies, or homeless men living in the woods. The woods were full of dark and scary with many animals living in it. People came up with dumb things like bigfoot or two headed lions lived in the “Unknown”.…
On March 18, 2012, an unlikely group of men gathered at 3:30 am in the Mormon town of Huntsville, Utah. They were Catholic Monks of the Order of Cicstercians of the Strict Observance (Trappists) performing a routine most of them have been doing for more than 60 years; rising in the middle of the night to attend Vigils and to pray together by chanting Psalms and doing the readings of the Divine Office. That night, an even more improbable person participated in the Liturgy of the Hours—a…
they almost all gave the same answer. Monsters tended to be described as much larger than the average human, grotesque smelling, and being covered in fur, preferably matted, which sounds a lot like the famous urban legend that goes by the name of Bigfoot. ”Monsters are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, and that is their tragedy” – Ishiro Honda Monsters can be found just about anywhere if looked for hard enough. They live in the deepest…
Two zombies tried to cut us off. Dean ducked the one's outstretched arms and I struck the other with the stock of my shotgun. Neither of the undead would be denied, though mine had to pick itself up off the pavement before it could resume the chase. We made it to the brightly painted red door and I gave a yank. Nothing. I pushed and pulled in desperation, trying the latch for all I was worth but still nothing. It held fast. The reanimated creatures were getting closer and we were running…
Callaway wasn't the first to pursue the lost garden. Columbus went inspecting for it in Venezuela. Dr. Livingstone presumed it was in Zambia. John Calvin preached that it lay hidden in Iraq. William Warren, the president of Boston University, took a sabbatical Arctic cruise to confirm its location at the pole. The Garden has been the illusory dream of scientists, kings, writers, and at least one contrarian Southern lawyer. It is a story so compelling they’ve sometimes abandoned gold, tenure,…
Who Really Discovered “The New World?” What if Christopher Columbus wasn’t the first European to visit the North America? What if everything that has been taught about the pilgrims and Indians and the Mayflower is a lie? Who really “discovered” The New World? The answer may lie inscribed in a seemingly ordinary boulder also known as Dighton Rock. From the ancient Phoenicians to the Native Americans, from a Portuguese Scouting ship to the Norse Vikings, there are many speculations about where…
The Absolute True Diary of a Beauty, a Beast, and a Part-Time Indian Books are an irreplaceable. They play a valuable part on shaping personal growth and development in a child’s life. They are meant to inspire and expand their awareness on how they live and where they live, intensify their capability to express themselves, and give them inspiration in a way that other means cannot. In stories, such as Jeanne-Marie Leprice de Beaumont’s version of “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Absolutely True…
