Parishioners of a Catholic church in Poland are claiming that they are constantly seeing a ghost praying within the building.

The Church, located in the village of Szedzislawiu in Lower Silesia has now allegedly been spooked by the spirit for months. Apparently, three members of the church have seen the ghost, all on separate occasions. He has been seen at the front of the church, looking up to a sign that says in Polish 'Jesus, in you I trust', and has also been seen kneeling on a bench.

US: UFOs Over Lake Houston, Texas

Posted: February 20, 2009

Date: February 15, 2009
Time Approx: 2:00 p.m.

Brian, this past Sunday, February 15, 2009 I observed three objects going in a south bound direction. The altitude was very high, above 35,000. Speed was high, sub sonic. As I observed these objects a British Airways 747 was on it's final heading west towards IAH. These objects were not airplanes. This was the same week that an object was seen burning over Austin, Texas. I know I saw something, but I don't know what it was.

Maryville, Tennessee residents report unexplained explosions

It's startling residents, making houses shake, and causing the 911 phone lines to light up as they did on Monday and Thursday.

There's no doubt folks that live along South Ruth and South Cedar are hearing something.

They made 9-1-1 calls.

But there hasn't been an earthquake, a sonic boom, or any kind of accident near there.

As to what it is, it's as clear as mud.

The neighborhood between Maryville high school and the middle school is a quiet neighborhood, usually.

But Monday morning and Thursday night, residents there heard explosions captured by 911 phone calls.

According to Jody he was driving on the freeway when he spotted what he believes to be a UFO. He followed it for about 7 minutes before it disappeared. He did not have a camera or camera phone with him.

He was hoping someone in the L.A. area saw the same object and managed to capture a picture of it.

Jody used the submission form to make his report.

December 7th has been etched into the American consciousness as one of the deadliest days in its maritime history. On December 7th 1941 the Japanese struck the American Naval fleet in Pearl Harbor, an attack that sent both nations headlong into a bloody and culturally changing conflict.

However there was another maritime tragedy that took place on the same date some 32 years earlier.

On December 7th 1909 the at 11 a.m., the Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, a 350-foot-long steel-hulled car ferry, left the port of Conneaut, Ohio with a cargo of rail cars filled to the brim with coal. The heavy laden ship headed north, bound for Port Stanley, Ontario. A notable passenger onboard the Marquette & Bessemer No. 2 was Albert Weis of Erie, the treasurer of the Keystone Fish Company. Weis carried $32,000 in a leather briefcase in order to purchase a Port Stanley fishery for his employers at the Fish Company.

US: Odd occurrences in Pennsylvania on the rise in 2008

Reported sightings of Bigfoot, UFOs and other mysterious phenomena were more widely scattered in Pennsylvania in 2008 than in the previous year, according to Greensburg researcher Stan Gordon, who has been keeping tabs on such incidents for nearly 50 years.

According to Gordon, who recently released his annual report of strange goings-on in the Keystone State, an array of unusual episodes that also included encounters with giant birds, strange sounds and puzzling footprints originated in 50 Pennsylvania counties last year, compared to reports received from 37 counties in 2007.

Meteor

US: Object in sky has observer stumped

It's a bird. It's a plane. It's ... a UFO?

That suspicion crossed David Kent's mind when he spotted a bright turquoise ball in the sky Wednesday night from his Hockinson, Washington home. Kent saw the object travel across the sky before disappearing a few seconds later. He quickly dismissed the UFO idea, though.

"I don't believe in that stuff," Kent said.

Experts don't believe what Kent saw was a UFO either, but said it's likely space debris or a fireball, otherwise known as a brighter-than-normal meteor. The National Weather Service didn't have reports of anyone else seeing the object.
