In the news - Entire California ghost town wiped out by the Dixie Fire
Although not paranormal, investigators often like to visit abandoned towns in the U.S. West, known as Ghost Towns. In the news today, however, one ghost town in California was consumed by fire. Here's the story from the San Francisco Gate news.

Entire California ghost town wiped out by the Dixie Fire
San Francisco Gate News, Aug. 5, 2021
A historic Northern California ghost town in the Sierra foothills has been decimated by the giant, still-raging Dixie Fire.
The state-designated historical landmark has been abandoned now for half a century, and last week the 250,000-acre Dixie Fire left its historic buildings in ashes, reports the San Francisco Chronicle. (SFGATE and the San Francisco Chronicle are both owned by Hearst but operate independently of each other).Among the casualties is the Kellogg House that was lived in until the 1970s. Built in 1852 with lumber from the sawmill at Rich Bar, the property sat above the roaring gold camp in the Feather River Canyon. Gone too is the mining outpost, the remaining homesteads and the historic cemetery.While the stories told by miners of an actual lake of gold were apocryphal, the town was a hugely successful during its boom in the 1850s. As with so many California gold towns, along with the riches came the vice and criminality. The Feather River Bulletin once wrote of the riotous scene there in 1850: "Upon hearing of the new strike at Rich Bar those in the Middle Fork area packed up their shirts, trousers, pans and cups and struggled northwest across the mountains in search of a dream."They swarmed over the Sierra mountains by the thousands, every color and nationality, and every sort of character, from low-down, thieving, conniving scallywags; to prim, proper, upstanding citizens."According to the local museum, the town reportedly pulled $23 million in gold out of the ground and river in its first few decades, before its inevitable decline when the gold ran dry.Last year, new owners Ivan Coffman and Kurt Brock purchased the 1,200-square-foot Kellogg House and had plans to restore it and even mine again. The fire has left them with an unsure future, and they are still currently under evacuation orders, reports the Chronicle.The Dixie Fire began July 13, likely due to a tree falling on PG&E power lines near the town of Paradise (which was destroyed in 2018 in the Camp Fire, also ignited by a faulty PG&E transmission line). It has burned 274,139 acres and is currently 35% contained, according to Cal Fire.Friday, August 6, 2021

Watch- Now on YouTube: "The Angel Rock With Lorilei Potvin" talks with Rob about Pets and the Afterlife
Because I've written 8 books (and am working on one now), I do a lot of interviews about them. If you missed one from last week, here's the link and the show. It was called "The Angel Rock With Lorilei Potvin" and she's really wonderful. She's got a number of gifts herself (including being a medium, herself) and is the host of this wonderful show. It was a long (2 hour) interview about pets and the afterlife, based on my three books of the same name, and it was full of information! Here's the link: https://youtu.be/FPbBzglv7xE

What is Paredolia? Am I Seeing Something Paranormal?
One part of paranormal investigating is debunking things. One aspect of debunking is about disproving something that someone sees in a design or background. We do that when others do not see the image and / or there are no temperature changes, electrical discharges, or a medium doesn't sense anything. There has to be some back up. What's interesting is that when you look at something, and someone tells you what they've seen, you can also envision the object there. Does that mean it's there? No. It's likely Paredolia. Today's blog provides insight into that.

What's Paredolia? It's a psychological phenomenon involving a stimulus (an image or a sound) wherein the mind perceives a familiar pattern of something where none actually exists.
Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, the "man in the moon", the "moon rabbit", and hidden messages within recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds.
My friend Scott in Ohio found an article and photo of a graveyard, where a person said he sees a man on a horse. I didn't see it until I read the headline, and then I could "kind of" see it. I was making out an outline of what I think a man on a horse looks like in my mind while looking at the photo. So, no, I don't think there was a ghost in the photo. (Link to the story: http://news.yahoo.com/ghost-on-horseback-captured-in-chilling-graveyard-104358862.html?nf=1)

However, that doesn't mean that ghosts don't appear in photos. We have lots of proof that they do- both in visible pictures and infrared pictures.
So, next time you look up in the sky and you see an "elephant" in the clouds, it's not the ghost of an elephant, but paredolia. Just use discretion!
