| "Ghosts were once people, too" |
"I like to test the newcomers to our group. At first, I will offer to take these newcomers out on a few simple ghost hunting trips. If they show interest for awhile, then I proceed to offer an initiation trip. It is important to test the mindset of a new ghost hunter by allowing them to demonstrate their fearlessness on an outing. When someone agrees to my offer of initiation, I get with my partner and co-founder of my group to choose a course of action. We want to test the newcomer and make sure they can handle being alone during a private investigation. Those who cannot handle our "fear test" are told to no longer proceed with our group. We do not want "fraidy-cats" coming along on the private investigations because they have the ability to ruin our work and embarrass the work of our group altogether. Someone working alone in fear will make public claims (and to the homeowners) of things they see or hear that are quite simply bullshit claims. Fear makes people hear and see things that are almost on the level of hallucinations." --Randy Tuggle
4 years, 30 days, 3 hours, 47 minutes 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
