After RFK's assassination, the mandate of the Secret Service was altered to include protection of presidential candidates.
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 28 minutes, 31 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 wish to pursue Truth no matter where it leads. But, to find Truth we need imagination and skepticism, both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact." --Carl Sagan

"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."

The fort is farther down the road and off to the right, a reconstruction of the original. Along the road to fort are two fields on each side of the road. On the right side of the road are telephone poles. Sit at the 3rd pole after dark and look straight ahead; there a guard of the fort was killed, and he still patrols to this day. The guard is a black shadow. Also sometimes audible is a young child's laughter and a dog barking. The barking dog is often accompanied by "a white ball of fog" that appears from nowhere. BRIEF: Red eyes, tall, with black wings! SUMMARY: Point Pleasant is haunted by a strange creature which was seen by at least two young married couples one evening in November 15, 1966. They were driving past an abandoned TNT plant near Point Pleasant when the couples spotted two large eyes shining in the night. Then they saw a creature that was shaped like a man, but taller; it stood about seven feet tall. "The creature had large wings folded against its back."

The dog has seen along highway 12 for the last hundred years. BRIEF: Lingering remnants of a fire SUMMARY: Morrill Hall is the oldest building on campus. You know it's seen its share of activity. It is widely thought to be haunted.
The building was used for medical training more than 80 years ago. UMCP kept cadavers for dissection in the basement [see Frank the gravedigger]. BRIEF: Ghostly soldier, forever on patrol SUMMARY: People have reported seeing a ghostly soldier walking along Route 100. The figure's dress appears older than Civil War type uniform and may date to the Revolutionary War. When passersby stop to talk, the figure disappears.

One day two girls were playing in the yard when the ghostly old man dressed in black walked next to the girls. The old man did not have a face. The girls were scared. People have heard strange noises in and around this house. BRIEF: Creepiness in the classroom. SUMMARY: The school is known to be haunted. Teachers have had strange experiences in the school. The sound of knocking on the walls has been heard by students and teachers alike, sometimes en masse. BRIEF: Former caretaker still hustles about the church at night. SUMMARY: Zion Lutheren Church in Williamsport, Maryland is haunted by a friendly ghost who sometimes likes to move things to her pleasing. Supposedly a former caretaker of the church and dubbed 'Granny' by the church staff who encounter her today, she can sometimes be heard walking through the church at night. Occasionaly swtiching light switches that are left on or moving random objects. Not a ghost to be feared, but just a spirit who may be there to lend a helping hand. BRIEF: To the youngest sometimes go the spoils, good and bad. SUMMARY: Back during the early 1800's a couple was living near the Gunpowder river. The couple had six girls and one boy. The husband left his wife and ran off with another woman. The wife was left alone to raise the children. The woman worried about money to raise five children. She resented the youngest child who was the son. She disliked the boy because he looked like his father, and she was sure that he would grow up to be like his father.
People who visit the area have heard a little boy screaming. Some people have said that they saw a little boy running across the road. Someone has placed a sign on the road that says "listen." People have heard voices in the woods and the sound of screams. BRIEF: This Ley Line connects DC, Baltimore, NYC, Boston, Stonehenge and London SUMMARY: Popularized by Dawson in his book as Ley Lines, certain great circles on the Earth are "meridians of power", and buildings and other important structures are often built thereupon.
Meridian Hill Park, 13 blocks directly north of the White House (the meridian itself passes directly through the Whitehouse's East Wing), is the park that surrounds the exact point at which the "77th parallel" (the vertical line of longitude, 77-degrees west of Greenwich, England) crosses the Ley Line.

The National Trust for Historic preservation then purchased the building. BRIEF: This restaurant was haunted by three ghosts: Thomas Connolly, his mistress Eva and his son Sterling.
