"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." --Abraham Lincoln
4 years, 2 months, 13 days, 8 hours, 33 minutes, 43 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

and sharing it does not decrease it." --Zaitsev
"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."

SUMMARY: Taken from A walking Tour of Berkeley Springs
Lots 1 and 2 of the original town plat were set aside by the trustees in 1777 for a German church and two other houses. There is no indication that any structures were built. It was variously known as the Dutch, German or Lutheran Cemetery. The body of Doctor Samuel Crawford, victim of a postwar lynching in 1876, was buried there. In 1888, two men reported seeing the ghost of Crawford standing over his grave in the old Dutch graveyard. There was a move in 1917 to move the few bodies interred here to Greenway Cemetery so the land could be available for development. No action was taken. Gravestones have been restored in recent years. BRIEF: Bad accidents always seem to leave ghosts. SUMMARY: There is a tunnel located in Jefferson that is known to be haunted.

BRIEF: Bathroom suicide leaves ghost SUMMARY: The hospital is haunted by a patient who committed suicide in a bathroom. People have heard moaning coming from the bathroom when it is empty. Other strange things happen here such as doors opening and closing and ghostly footsteps walking down the hall. BRIEF: Justice sometimes leaves the ghosts of injustice. SUMMARY: The courthouse was built in 1838. The circuit court judges used the building to conduct trials for murderers, thieves and other criminals. In the basement was a sheter for the poor. Sometimes during trials the smell of cooking coming from the basement would fill the court rooms. The place is known to be haunted. The smell of food still sometimes fills the building even though there is no place to cook. The sounds of footsteps walking through the halls has been heard. The doors have been known to open and close by themselves. BRIEF: The spirits of some of those imprisoned here still remain SUMMARY: Eastern State was born in 1829 with the opening of it's doors to prisoners bound for the newly legislated solitary confinement. A concept that took nearly 3 decades to bring into action, this new method of punishment for law breakers was intended as a way to greatly encourage introspection, regret and penance (thus 'penitentiary'). Famous residents include Al Capone & Willie Sutton who, with a dozen men died attempting to tunnel out of the prison. As one might guess, some of the spirits of those imprisoned here have remained.
