A Brief Update on 117 House Races October 18, 2010 2:57 P.M. By Jim Geraghty Tags: 2010 As promised, here is a quick update on that May list of 99 open seats or vulnerable Democrats. As you can see, quite a few have been added; we’re now up to 117. (I added one, WA-2, after initial posting.) However, this list includes some races that appeared as potentially competitive earlier and now aren’t, such as Rep. Dan Boren’s reelection bid in Oklahoma. My current assessment is in line with the conventional wisdom: Roughly 100 seats are in play under the broader...

Soulsearchers 'see ghosts' during Carlisle restaurant investigation Last updated at 13:18, Thursday, 14 October 2010 It’s a cold, October night in Carlisle. Fog rolls in over the cathedral, lit up against the black sky and stoops to kiss the cobblestones outside the restaurant. Inside, the customers are gone. The tables, still laid as if for a ghostly banquet, are occupied by seven men and women, awkwardly observing a reverent hush. Two burly Scotsmen are flitting about with bits of machinery, recording the readings on digital screens. Only two people seem relaxed. They sit at separate tables, scribbling their thoughts into...

Ghost hunters say Deering Estate is ground zero for lost spirits A Coconut Grove paranormal team says it has found evidence of ghosts at the Deering Estate. Neither the hot film Paranormal Activity nor TV's popular Ghost Hunters can compete with Miami-Dade's historic Deering Estate at Cutler. Ghost trackers investigating paranormal activity on the site say they recently found more than 60 disembodied voices coming from the county-owned estate -- once the home of wealthy industrialist Charles Deering, of International Harvester fame. One voice captured on a digital recorder seems to say, ``We're trapped here.'' Don't believe it? The Deering...

Over the eon's it's slow moving waters has cut a large swath of land, and one of the more spectacular creations of the small creek is a mile long ravine called Wintergreen Gorge.

Ghost girl appears in Chilean video Posted by Javier Ortega 16 January 2009 In Chile, a woman named Cecilia Muñoz went on a ghost hunting expedition to a building that is notorious for reports of a ghost of a little girl that is said haunts the basement level of the building. Cecilia and her mother decided to make a visit and do some amateur ghost hunting of their own. Given that there was no real activity captured the first few hours, her mother suggested that she go down to the basement with a group of children. The mother theorized that...

A man who probably wouldn't be cleared by any adjudicative standard (and I know a little about this) will now have access to the nations most precious secrets. I really don't know what to make of this. America as we know it has died...

Host to ghosts: Texas capital home to LBJ, others By APRIL CASTRO, Associated Press Writer – Sun Oct 26, 10:33 am ET AUSTIN – Politics can be plenty spooky, especially this time of year. But in Texas, some politicians have a way of sticking around way past Election Day. Some say Sam Houston, the Texas hero who famously gave up his job as governor rather than join the Confederacy, still roams his old home, pacing nervously. Others have seen the ghost of Lyndon Johnson watching election night returns in the mezzanine of the storied Driskill Hotel, or Susanna Wilkerson Dickinson,...

The house was their former home, built in the 1800s. Sensing a spirit, or...

NEW YORK (AP) — It is a fitting backdrop for a ghost story: An old mansion on a secluded hilltop sits empty, save for a caretaker who lives upstairs. A no-trespassing sign is staked near the locked metal gates, and the stately grounds are covered in thistles.

I've watched Franks Luntz and his "focus groups" for years. There is no question in my mind that his "groups" are filled with planted leftists. There is now way in the world that even a random selection of "undecided" could be decidedly socialist after a debate that McCain won. Throw that crap out!! Punt the Luntz!!

Train Victim's Cell Kept Calling Loved Ones After He Died September 17, 2008 SIMI VALLEY -- One local family whose loved one died in the Metrolink collision is still questioning something that happened that night. They got several phone calls from 49-year-old Chuck Peck after the crash. But they now know he died on impact. Peck's fiancee, Andrea Katz, told KTLA that the first call was to his son in Utah. "...and he said my dad just called me and I said, what did he say? Is he okay? Where is he? He didn't say anything, the phone rang and...

Amid new poll numbers tonight showing John McCain with as much as a 10 point lead among likely voters, and early knockout blow would be exactly what the doctor ordered. Barak Obama has one strategy and one strategy only. He preaches "change" and his campaign is all about tying John McCain to George Bush. Because of the low approval ratings of George Bush, this would seem to be a very solid tactic. Obama is overlooking something here that nobody else seems to take note of. There is extensive polling data that shows that George Bush does not have the lowest...

Stories tell of haunted places on U.S. bases American military powerless against screams, bumps, spirits in the night Stars and Stripes Pacific edition, Wednesday, October 31, 2007 It’s not your imagination — maybe that sound in the night really was a moan. Stories of spirits and unexplained phenomena have persisted on U.S. military bases in the Pacific for years. Doors slam, shadows creep and voices shout in the night. Could it be spirits of the dead reaching out? As costumed ghosts and ghouls hit the streets for Halloween, Stars and Stripes has compiled some accounts of allegedly real ghosts and...

DREAD AND BREAKFAST Record reporter spends a spooky night in the most haunted hotel in Scotland By Barry Gordon HOTEL rooms are not very scary, or at least that's what I thought. That was before watching the new John Cusak film, 1408, where his character Mike Enslin decides to check into the notorious Hotel Dolphin to investigate its supernatural reputation. A crooked door that goes straight again, an operator that doesn't sound human and, finally, a room engulfed in flames are enough to convince him maybe ghosts do stay in hotels. I decided to check this out for myself at...

Is Randolph College haunted? While it may have a new name, some say there are a few old spirits still lurking around the former Randolph-Macon Woman's College campus. A bevy of ghost hunters paid a visit over the weekend, and they seemed to encounter some strange circumstances. Their quest began in the basement of the library. Ghost hunter John James turned out the lights and set up his video camera. They returned 45 minutes later to find his two-hour tape completely used up. James was also nearly hit by a flying object. "I know it hit the metal. I heard...

Specters spook campus Tara Croft Issue date: 5/31/07 Thousands of students have walked the grounds of campus since N.C. State was founded in 1889. According to a handful of the people who frequent campus today, some of those thought to be dead and gone might not be so gone after all. At several locations across campus, strange events have led people to conclude that ghosts roam the buildings. Erica Lezan, the assistant director of New Student Orientation, said a "ghost walk" is one of the events available for students during orientation. However, the tour emphasizes the University's history more than...

Brazenhead pub owner Tony Lehmann and his son Brando believe they have a resident ghost. PICTURE: DUNCAN BROWN Pub's ghost in high spirits? 02.06.2007 REBECCA STEVENSON Creaking floors and doors, an apparition flashing past staff and peering over shoulders, a mop bucket rolling up and down the floor but there's no one around - it is a classic ghost tale set in a Napier pub. Brazenhead Irish Ale & Coffee House owner Tony Lehmann says he's an open-minded non-believer - somewhat of a sceptic - but ever since he took over at the Irish pub about two months ago strange...

Ghost hunting in Houghton Mansion: The mystery continues By Jennifer Huberdeau, North Adams TranscriptArticle Launched: 03/31/2007 03:44:53 AM EDT Saturday, March 31The basement was cold and dark. An eerie blue light pierced the darkness just a few feet from me. Was this some sort of sign from the beyond? Well, I wouldn't go that far. It was Grant Wilson, from SciFi Channel's "Ghost Hunters" series, illuminating an electro-magnetic field reader as he checked the copper pipes on the ceiling. "Do you feel kind of spooked out down here?" he asked. I'd been in the basement of the Houghton Mansion, more...
