Psychosylum: (Psych/osylum: sike·o-·si-·lu(m)
Psych refers to psychology which can be referred back to psychic, which is considered part of paranormal behavior.
In the historic sense of this term…ASYLUM refers to a sanctuary where outcasts were protected. This site allows paranormal believers to visit and not be treated as outcasts (as many sometimes are). The word Asylum has been personalized (changed) to Osylum in representation of the Old World… which also refers back to the paranormal nature. |

'Ghost' Story
| Posted by admin on Sunday, June 29 @ 16:10:53 EDT (4 reads)

"Ghost Whisperer" is a shout out to spectral neighbors, those pushy spatial sputniks soaring through an outer limit that adds another dimension to those lives haunted by history.
James Van Praagh is practical about it all. They're just making themselves known, he says with a shrug in his voice.
Easy for him to say: He not only sees dead people; he talks to them, cajoles them, bargains with them, asks their advice and introduces them to millions of somewhat frightened fans each week as "Ghost Whisperer," the well-done CBS spookathon that this medium mediates as co-executive producer, proves miasmal gold in the ratings.
Or is that miasmal ghoul? Author/producer Van Praagh proudly adds a new dimension to out-there TV, but his scope isn't limited to just channeling dramas. His Ghosts Among Us is the ultimate ghost story. It is as spirited a stand as one can take advocating the existence of the non-living who enliven our lives.
In this, yet another of his best-selling books after Talking to Heaven and Reaching for Heaven ... well, heaven can wait, but eager fans have put it on the top of their must-have list. Van Praagh pricks misconceptions and missed opportunities to tune into the tome's "truth about the other side."
Whose side are you on? Van Praagh pre-empts the snickers and snide remarks with haunting and harrowing stories to deflate and flatten the haughty.

"Supernatural" Prequel?
| Posted by admin on Sunday, June 29 @ 15:59:46 EDT (11 reads)
Source: http://www.filmfodder.com/
Reports are surfacing that a "Supernatural: prequel may be in the works. Eric Kripke, the uber-talented creator of show, has recently signed a two-year contract with Warner Brothers. He will continue to lead "Supernatural", but also start working on the development of other projects.
Kripke has previously spoke about doing a "Supernatural"-related project set in the Old West. Most people think that it would center around the creation of the demon-killing Colt, although it could be a Winchester ancestor, or something completely different. It's speculation, after all.
Still, I think this is fantastic news. Kripke is rapidly moving up - his fanboy level (at least for me) is starting to approach 'Joss Whedon' levels - and any news of additional Kripke projects should be watched closely. Whatever it turns out to be, I bet it will be solid.
To be honest, although I would love a prequel, I think I am more excited to see what Kripke does next!

A pale blue box containing what are thought to be a dead person's ashes has been found at the Empire Theatre in Liverpool.
The box was left in the auditorium after a performance by Scouse medium Derek Acorah and former star of TV's Most Haunted programme.
A member of the theatre's front of house staff found the box which has yet to be claimed.
A spokesperson from the Empire said it was an "unusual" item of lost property.
The small box has the name of of well-known Liverpool funeral director Peter Coyne printed on it.
Staff believe its owner may not realise it is still at the theatre.
Jenny Morgan from the theatre said: "We assume someone brought them along to see if Derek could get some readings from them.
"But I'm not sure how anyone could forget them.
"Of all the lost property our staff has come across this is definitely one of the most unusual."

A dark figure haunts visitors to Oxford Castle Unlocked!
| Posted by admin on Sunday, June 22 @ 02:01:22 EDT (14 reads)
Source: http://www.easier.com/
A photograph, which has captured a dark figure taken in the foreboding underground Crypt at Oxford Castle Unlocked, has revealed the paranormal does exist and confirms beliefs that the Castle is haunted. The photograph was taken on Friday 16 May by a member of the public at a ghost hunt organised by Fright Nights, the UK’s leading ghost hunt specialist. The brave ghost hunter, who was alone in the Crypt at the time, took the photograph with his digital camera.
Keiron Brown from Alton in Hampshire was astonished to see the dark shadow of a figure at the end of the corridor leading into the Crypt when he looked at the images on his computer after the event. The astounding photograph has since been analysed by experts at Fright Nights and at Oxford Castle Unlocked.
Martin Jeffrey, Director of Fright Nights stated “We were amazed by this photograph. Our analysts have shown that the figure is jet black and unusually not lit up by the flash, whereas the side walls and the wall behind it have visible lighting caused by the flash. We can also confirm that the figure is facing the camera and seems to have some form of hood, head dress or blindfold. We know that the Crypt was used for the storing of criminals especially those waiting execution, so the figure fits perfectly within the history of the Castle”.
Fright Nights were granted exclusive use of Oxford Castle Unlocked in which to hold overnight paranormal investigations for the public since early 2007. The visitor attraction is thought to be one of the most haunted buildings in the country. Throughout its dark history, the Castle has served time as a royal residence, a centre of justice and as the county Gaol, hidden from public view behind impenetrable 5 metre high stones walls until its closure in 1996.

Psychic to lead Surf City ghost tour
| Posted by admin on Sunday, June 22 @ 01:57:37 EDT (32 reads)

Do you believe in ghosts? Michael J. Kouri does and he wants to show you where they live in Surf City.
The self-described psychic medium will begin hosting Huntington Beach ghost tours on Friday and Saturday, adding the former oil boom town to a list of other Orange County cities – Laguna Beach, Orange, Fullerton and Santa Ana – with similar eerie excursions.
The city's visitor's and conference bureau invited Kouri to begin the tours as a way of adding to the city's attractions. Future tours will be available by reservation.
"We have a Wild West kind of town with the history and the kind of people who came here to build it," said Pat Rogers with the bureau, who lobbied to bring the event to the city. "The ghosts here are probably a little bit more interesting than your average ghost."
Kouri, a parapsychological investigator for 32 years, said he will take guests through 13 – a symbolic number – of the city's most haunted hot spots. The event includes a three-hour walking and driving tour, dinner at a haunted restaurant and psychic-aura reading.

The most complex, "mind-boggling" crop circle ever to be seen in Britain has been discovered in a barley field in Wiltshire.
The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi.
It is has appeared in a field near Barbury Castle, an iron-age hill fort above Wroughton, Wilts, and has been described by astrophysicists as "mind-boggling".

Novice ghost hunters keep level heads
| Posted by admin on Tuesday, June 17 @ 22:51:30 EDT (17 reads)
Source: http://www.billingsgazette.net/
If you think your house is haunted, there are some people in Billings who would like to hear from you.
They are members of a fledgling group called the Billings Paranormal Investigative Society, modeled after the team of researchers on the popular reality television series "Ghost Hunters."
Francisco Marquez, 21, one of the founders of the society, said he and his compatriots are simply filling a need.
"There's nothing close to Billings," he said. "It's about time we got something. It's a big city."
Whether it's a haunted city remains to be seen. Members of the BPIS so far have conducted only two investigations, both inconclusive. One of them yielded a few mysterious whispers, but not much else.

Fright Seeing Travel Deals: The demand for scary haunted hotel holidays is growing at a rapid rate – read on to book yours!
Paranormal breaks specialist Haunting Breaks has added three new haunted venues to its portfolio to meet a surge in interest in its ghost hunting weekends, thanks to the continued success of television programmes such as Living TV’s Most Haunted, ITV’s Supernatural and the Zone Reality’s Ghost Hunt and Psychic Private Eyes.
The company is anticipating a further rise in business following the launch of Sky’s Paranormal Channel on June 9th.
“These TV shows have made psychics and the paranormal accessible,” said Carol Bowen, director of Haunting Breaks. “People are now more knowledgeable in this area and as a result keener to experience ghosts hunting themselves.
The new Haunting Breaks venues are York Pavilion Hotel in York, Hartsfield Manor in Surrey and the Royal Hotel in Ashby-de-la-Zouch - all of which are highly “active” haunted hotels, according to Bowen. Guests can even get their paranormal experience accompanied by professional psychics.
