The 1851 death of Darwin's daughter, Annie, was the final step in pushing an already doubting Darwin away from the idea of a beneficent God.
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 7 minutes, 33 seconds until the Mayan end of Age. December 21 2012 (11:11am GMT). The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to 3114 BC August 11 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN = 584283). The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Stela 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed. However, it is conjectured that this may represent in the Maya belief system a transition from the current Creation world into the next. The 2012 Winter Solstice will also occur on this day at 11:11 UTC. --wikipedia . See also "When you get old, the only things you remember are the things you dared to do and the things you didn't dare to do. All the daily stuff, the things you had to do, the things someone paid you to do, blur into the nothingness of 'unimportant to your soul', and when you look back on your life you only see the dreams you made happen and the dreams you were afraid to pursue." --P.J. Gaenir's grandfather

"We foster an environment of constructive peer review, the philosophy being the more active members out there thinking, observing and collecting evidence, the more likely someone is to produce something substantial and the more we all collectively learn. Another way to look at it: Every family has an eccentric member or two; we're the place where all those folks can collectively hang out and feel at home."
BRIEF: A naval hero gone walking. SUMMARY: The confused and tattered ghost of Eddie Rickenbacker has been seen, sometimes up close at night, on this beach. No one can determine why the naval hero haunts this beach or why he looks so distressed. He has been haunting the beach for many years. SUMMARY: The country club is known to be haunted by a ghostly spirit that occupies one of the bedrooms located above the living room. BRIEF: An individual has been seen and heard walking around this converted railroad station, which was originally built in 1864. SUMMARY: An individual has been seen and heard walking around this converted railroad station, which was originally built in 1864. BRIEF: Pick he rup, talk to her --poof-- then she's gone SUMMARY: Along with The Sports Junkies and Goat Man, Bowie is known for a hitchhiking ghost. BRIEF: Many soldiers died here. SUMMARY: The Crampton Gap is an area in Frederick County were many soldiers were killed in battle during the Civil War on September 14, 1862. There were so many dead and decomposing bodies that surviving soldiers could not bury them all. Women and children of the town helped bury the dead, who were most often buried right where they had fallen in rather shallow graves. BRIEF: A mystery hunter in the distant back corner. SUMMARY: In Wadestown there is a hollow that contains an old cemetery known as Gobblers Knob. BRIEF: Former maximum security federal prison SUMMARY: This "perfect place for pain" is reportedly haunted and makes no secret about it, with frequent bad smells, sounds of
sobbing, screaming, moaning, phantom canon shots, gun shots, strange tappings, footsteps, doors slamming and unusual crashing sounds." BRIEF: Old Plantation House on MNCPPC Property SUMMARY: Old Plantation house, unsure of exact background or history. On MNCPPC property. Currently the head office of the company I work for. While working late there I heard noises come from the basement. I thought it was mice or something but I went down to investigate. I saw an amorphous, translucent, dark blob slowly moving across the floor away from me. I have also heard "breathing" sounds coming from a sealed chimney. Co-workers have had similar experiences and have heard noises and steps coming from the attic where old files and boxes are stored. No one wants to be the last to leave or to work late. We are moving into a new office, so this house will be vacant. It is on MNCPPC property in the 8000 block of Snouffer School Road. You may be considered a trespasser if you go onto the site so check in with the MNCPPC before going onto the site. Very bucolic location just inside Gaithersburg sprawl. Others claim to have seen shapes and odd lights on the grounds around the old plantation though I have not experienced this. BRIEF: Local legends tell of Indian spirits in these woods. SUMMARY: The woods of Angus Mountain are said to be haunted by Indians who were killed there. BRIEF: A ghost dog with glowing red eyes SUMMARY: Highway 12 is haunted by a large dog that has red-glowing eyes. The dog is called the Fence-Rail Dog. The dog has been seen along highway 12 for the last hundred years. BRIEF: The ghost of Queen Lili'uokalani haunts Hawaii's State Capitol Building SUMMARY: Built during the reign of King Kamehameha V (completed in 1882) it replaced a former one-story bulding constructed of coral block. It served as the official residence of the Hawaiian monarch until it was overthrown in 1893. At that time the building became the statehouse of the new Provisional Government of Hawaii. The building is said to be haunted by the spirit of Queen Lili'uokalani the last monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii. BRIEF: Seven protective brothers; a gypsy and death. SUMMARY: A gypsy ghost haunts this drawbridge. According to the local legend, a apparition of a white stallion can be seen galloping on the roads. The horse is ridden by a gypsy man and his lover. BRIEF: Drummer boy apparition seen and heard from afar SUMMARY: The Old Berkeley Cemetery is haunted by a small drummer boy. The boy is seen on the hilltop. People have heard the sounds of his drum beating. No one has spotted his apparition up close, however. BRIEF: Strangeness at home. SUMMARY: One big mystery, despite the priest. BRIEF: An old broken heart never healed. SUMMARY: The sorrow of a broken heart.
