Most people that know me know of my intense interest in all things paranormal. Since I remain very skeptical, it takes quite a bit to pique my interest. This video was one that caught my eye. I don't share the view of the poster of this video that it represents conclusive evidence; I do see some interesting aspects to the video. Of course it can be a hoax, but I did find it intriguing enough to share.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Each week, groups will be given a
small writing project outside of the basic tools we’re using this year in 3<sup>rd</sup>
Year Language Arts. I had intended to start this next week to give students
some time to become acclimated to the tools they will be using. However, our C1
group has taken so well to the tools that I have decided to give them a small
project for this week.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Students were given a copy of the
Wall Street Journal for Students and asked to read through the articles to find
one that they found interesting. They are to read the article, briefly
summarize it, verify the information from another source, and then write an
editorial to be published on KidBlog. Here's an example of an <a href="http://www.havasunews.com/articles/2011/10/19/opinion/our_views/doc4e9c56e7699f5911111604.txt">editorial from the Today's News-Herald</a> to give students an idea of what an editorial is.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Tuesday, students took the
newspapers home with the assignment of reading the article and summarizing it
in one or two paragraphs. On Wednesday, during class, they will be given some
time to do some “fact checking” about the article. They will be expected to
write a paragraph explaining where they found verification and what that
article said either supporting or disagreeing with the story from the Wall
Street Journal.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">With these two pieces of writing,
students will write an editorial on Thursday for publishing in KidBlog.</span></div>
