JULIE MacDONALD is a serious news woman. As a reporter and presenter for news channel Al Jazeera, the Scottish journalist has spent several years reporting in the Middle East and has covered hard-hitting and dangerous stories all over the turbulent region.
But even her well-earned nerves of steel melted when she spent some time in the company of her most dangerous interview subject ever - a serial killer who has been dead for almost 30 years
The Glasgow-born presenter is the star of a new paranormal investigation series about the worst murderers in history, and spent six months travelling around America with a psychic trying to contact the spirits of the killers and their victims.
Julie expected nothing but hocus pocus from her seance sessions, but says she was left in tears, out of breath and feeling physically sick by her encounters.
She has teamed up with US psychic Bobby Marchesso for the series which features serial killers such as Ted Bundy, Aileen Wuornos and Jeffrey Dahmer.

Pagan couple make their new house a home by installing stone circle in garden
Mail online
When John and Suzy Burton decided to move to a smaller house, they informed the removal men that they would like to take a few precious stones with them.
To be more precise, 13 huge rocks from the garden.
Mr Burton, a druid, and his wife, a witch, were the proud owners of a stone circle which, they say, gives them positive energy.
So when the pagan couple left their historic £1million mansion, Abbotts Court in Weymouth, Dorset, a dozen men with a crane and a fleet of trucks took the rocks to their new home in Dorchester, ten miles away.
Neighbours watched in amazement as the stones, each weighing between half and three-quarters of a ton, were placed in the garden.
The couple - both antique dealers - had them aligned at special points around the extensive grounds of the £600,000, six-bedroom property to encircle themselves with energy.

Witchcraft is given a spell in India's schools to remove curse of deadly superstition
The Times
Witchcraft is being put on the curriculum for India’s primary schoolchildren in an effort to debunk superstitions that are behind scores of gruesome murders every year.
A belief in witches and the evils purportedly wrought by them – from famine to sporting failure – is widespread among tribal communities in the country’s impoverished rural hinterland. It is estimated that 750 people, mostly elderly women, have been killed in witch-hunts in the states of Assam and West Bengal since 2003.

Meditation May Protect Your Brain
AlterNetFor thousands of years, Buddhist meditators have claimed that the simple act of sitting down and following their breath while letting go of intrusive thoughts can free one from the entanglements of neurotic suffering.
Now, scientists are using cutting-edge scanning technology to watch the meditating mind at work. They are finding that regular meditation has a measurable effect on a variety of brain structures related to attention -- an example of what is known as neuroplasticity, where the brain physically changes in response to an intentional exercise.

Walking for rain
Cyprus Sunday MailDOES GOD have his hands on the heavenly tap? According to residents of Palechori village, if he doesn’t then the Virgin Mary does.
Hundreds of Palechori residents marched eight kilometres on Friday night, holding icons of the Mother of Jesus and praying for an end to the drought that has besieged the island.
Young and old donned their woolly jumpers and walked with the local priest through the mountainous village, singing liturgies in the hope that someone up there would answer their prayers and bring some much-needed rainfall.
...It seems the eight kilometres were not in vain as by Saturday morning, police released an announcement warning drivers of low visibility on the roads of Kofinou, Zygi and Kornos due to heavy rainfall. Warnings of rain and fog were also issued for Troodos....

Woman With Flower
I wouldn't coax the plant if I were you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it's dry before you water it.
The leaf's inclined to find it own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.
Much growth is stunted by too much prodding,
Too eager tenderness.
The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.
