Poll Results

Sorry to have been offline for a while, but we were weathering Hurricane Ike. Living in northeast Texas, we caught some of Ike's wrath, especially the winds. The worst part was a 28-hour period without electricity. Of course, there are folks down on the Texas coast that won't have it for weeks, so I certainly don't have the right to complain.

Meanwhile, it's time to examine the website's poll. The question posed this time was about James Van Praagh and his appearance on the TV show "The View". I was watching it to catch Loyd Auerbach, a fellow ghost-hunter that I know, when Van Praagh made a very interesting statement. He said, in an off-the-cuff manner, something like "Oh, Heath Ledger appeared to me after his death. I was shaving in the mirror and I looked up to see him standing behind me. He said, 'I f'ed up'."

It seemed so contrived that I had a problem believeing it, and therefore I posed the question on the poll. Here's the results:

20% - Yes, it really happened.

80% - No, it didn't happen.

I've got to say that, although I don't want to diss Van Praagh, it seemed like such a manufactured moment that I didn't believe it. I know that's a radical statement, so feel free to flame away...
