Strange, unexplained sounds reported worldwide

Peculiar, low-pitched rumbling noises of unknown origin are being reported from various regions of the world. These mysterious sounds, according to those who have heard them, seem to be coming from the sky:

• In Costa Rica on January 9, the deep hum resembled the sound of distant rolling thunder. Costa Rican authorities assured its citizens that it was merely the sound of fireworks from the closing ceremonies of the Zapote Fair. Many who heard it insisted it did not sound like fireworks.
• In the middle of the night on January 10, a similar noise was heard coming from the skies over Denmark. Recorded on video, the noise sounds like the rumbling of a train. The man who made the recording said it lasted for several minutes and to his ear it did not have the mechanical sound of a helicopter, airplane, or train.
• In Kiev, Ukraine, in the summer of 2011 at about 5.p.m., a very odd sound was recorded. The person who recorded it said it was so loud that it actually rattled the windows on the 5th floor of the building.
• In August, 2011, in Belarus (just north of Ukraine), similar loud, roaring-type noises were heard coming from the sky.
• Over Alberta, Canada in October, 2011, an unrelenting drone was recorded by Sam S. He said it lasted for over six hours. More here.

What are all these strange noises? Industry and traffic? Military experiments, such as HAARP? Warnings from extraterrestrials? The angel trumpets blasts of Revelation? Some other sign of the 2012 apocalypse?

What do you think?

California Desert Ghosts

My friend Scott and I decided to take a motorcycle trip into the Anza Borrego desert in California. It was spring and just the right weather for the trip. We left Los Angeles about 8 a.m. We made to the Salton Sea around 4 p.m., had dinner and decided to push on. We rode till about 9 p.m. and I was just too tired to go on. So we pulled off the road and I told Scott to take out the sleeping bags while I made some hot tea because were spending the night there.

After we had set up camp, we kicked back and enjoyed the hot drink and the beautiful star show. It was idyllic. We had stashed the motorcycles in some creosote bushes, and when I was finished with my drink walked back to the bikes to retrieve my .45 pistol. When I returned, Scott asked me who I had been talking to. I said, "No one. Why?" He looked at me and said, "I heard voices and they were clear as a bell. So quit messing with me." I informed my friend that I wasn't messing with him and let it go.

We were on our backs looking up into the heavens when both of us heard this laughing, but not normal laughter, but something you would expect in an insane asylum. Scott said to me, "See! I told you I heard something." Along with the laughter, we could hear what sounded like whispering and more than one voice. Dang! What the heck is that? I looked at Scott and remarked that sound carries strangely in the dry desert air and it was probably a pack of coyotes. I could tell Scott wasn't buying it.

We laid back down, and after a while the sounds died down and we were on our way to the land of nod when I felt this current pass over my body, and that's about the best I can describe it. The hair on my neck and arms literally stood up. Sometimes this is felt before a lightning strike and campers are told if they feel this to get ready to jump out of the way, which is what I was about to do. My body snapped into a sitting position. I was about to tell my friend to get up. When I turned to him, he was staring at a point just past my head.

When I turned to look, there was a disembodied head floating in the air a few feet from my face! It was red, but translucent -- sorta like a balloon. It had huge, thick features and only looked somewhat human. As it floated there, minutely moving from side to side, it was staring right at me, but as though I were a bug under a microscope. My hand went for my gun I had hidden under the blanket, but my brain was telling me this would be of no use. I was literally frozen with fear. Finally, I reacted by shouting, "YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE! BE GONE!" With this, the head started spinning and becoming smaller in size until it was the size of a marble, then took off like a shot across the desert.

Scott looked as if he were going to have a cow. He looked to me and said, "That's it. Let's pack and get the heck out of here." And that's what we did. We rode down the road for another half hour, then dismounted and spent the next three hours before daybreak talking, then laughing about what had just occurred. At daybreak we headed out and came by a gas station that served food, so we had breakfast. The waitress serving us remarked, "You boys look like hell." I told her we spent the night in the desert, but didn't get much sleep. She asked us where we had camped. When I told her Ocotillo Spring, she leaned in close to me and Scott and said, "Well, see any spooks? That place has been haunted since Indian times."

Psychic Predictions for 2012

A LOT OF people are looking at 2012 with a mixture of dread and hope. The last few years have been tough financially for many people, and there's been all of that apocalyptic talk about Mayan calendars and doom and gloom. What will really happen in 2012 I'm sure will surprise all of us. Recently, readers like you made your predictions for 2012, but we always seem to be curious about what the professional psychics foresee. Here are selected predictions for 2012 from some of the most well-known and sought-after psychics, seers, and mentalists from around the world.

LaMont Hamilton

LaMont "Monte" Hamilton is an ordained minister, Reiki Master healing practitioner, registered hypnotherapist, and holds multiple degrees in business, psychology, and education, and has worked in the paranormal field full time for over 25 years.

• With many questions surrounding the coming mystical events of 2012, I do not see any overriding one day cataclysmic event that will destroy or kill most people like those prophesies or being portrayed in the media.
• 2012 will be a year of spiritual fulfillment for most countries and people that want positive changes for their lives and futures. Many empires and ruling families that have created hardships for millions of people will fold and crumble during this historic year including Russia, China, Thailand, and North Korea.

Here's what she sees for 2012:

Also, one or two spokespeople will emerge from that movement onto the media spotlight.
• Contrary to numerous statements by interpreters of the Mayan calendar and such, the world will NOT end in 2012.
• And, hmm, the CUBS. Yes, year after year, I always predict they'll be in the World Series. So yes, this year they will finally make it. ...And I predict I'll be wrong again.
