Life After Death

Posted by Jodee Redmond May 24, 2006

Reading stories about ghosts seems to bring the idea of life after death to mind. Certainly, religious beliefs generally include the concept of an afterlife. When we have lost a loved one, the idea that a part of them lives on and we will be reunited with them in the future is of some comfort.

I have just finished a book entitled The Airmen Who Would Not Die, written by John G. Fuller, which describes the tragic flight of R-101, a British airship, in 1930.

This week's article will look at the concept of communication with those who have passed away in more detail, as described in this very interesting book.

Bigfoot, a Protected Species

One could argue that lawmakers in Skamania County, Washington, were jumping the gun in 1969 when they passed legislation to protect this as-yet-unconfirmed animal. The penalty for anyone found guilty of killing a Bigfoot is five years in prison and a $10,000.00 fine. However, should the Big Guy ever be proved to be authentic, he and his kind can live in the area safe from harm.

Champ, Lake Champlain's resident lake monster, is also protected from being harmed in Vermont and New York states.

By far the best example of protection for mysterious creatures would be that of Bhutan's migoi. 253 square miles of land known as the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary has been designated as a wildlife habitat for this version of the abominable snowman. The migoi, if it exists, shares the land with such animals as tigers, pandas, and snow leopards.
