My vote/voice doesn't count and only Michigan and Pennsylvania matters

I'm Xing you all out.  I'm Xing out everything.  X you.

I will be free
My daughter will be free

I'm a squirrel on a moldy jack-o-lantern nibbling a walnut
I'm a bird, I'm the sun
I'm the stars, I'm the moon

Go ahead, shatter your pursuit of happiness
You can't catch me

Options for greeting trick-or-treaters at my door


Presenting an enormous pumpkin
between gigantic candles

Blindfolded inside a mirror

Hooded, holding a candle,
surrounded by ghouls

Simmering in a pot with my love

Ectoplasmic loogie

 



From the Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums

Ectoplasm

This mysterious collection of images have been discovered within the photographic collections of Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.

 

Reference: TWCMS -H13098-73-11

 

The lantern slides are from a series titled 'Psychic Photography From A New Angle' and feature eerie images of the supposedly paranormal and unknown forces caught on camera.

 

Very little is known of the origins of this collection. The slides were designed to accompany a lecture by a Mr C.P. MacCarthy of 15 Wilkinson Street, Sheffield.

 

Mr MacCarthy produced the images under test conditions in 1934 in front of an invited committee at 76 Clarkehouse Road, Sheffield. He states the intention was to ‘demonstrate under test conditions Fake Psychic Photography’ to this committee.

 

Mr MacCarthy states his three reasons for this demonstration.

 

1.To prove the possibility of Fake under test conditions.

2.To show you cannot be too critical of such phenomena.

3.To indicate the increasing scope for fraud with the probability of genuine spirit photography.

 

Mr MacCarthy further guarantees ‘in the sum of five pounds, payable to any charitable institution, that no collusion exists, or has existed between myself and any other party in connection with this demonstration.’

 

Little is currently known of the Psychic demonstration. Who sat on the invited committee? Who was Mr MacCarthy? Why was he investigating Psychic Photography?

 

Can you help us with this information?

How does this happen?

'Earth has previously captured other temporary mini-moons, such as Asteroid 2020 CD3. Although that asteroid was first spotted whirling around Earth in February 2020 and departed a couple of months later, research showed it had orbited our planet for a few years before being detected.'

-from a Friday Sept 20th CNN article, A space rock is about to become Earth's new 'mini-moon'.

Undetected for a few years?  Seems like with all these telescopes and Earth citizen eyes, we'd notice.  It's kinda nice we aren't detecting so hard, but also, I have a need for UFO info. So keep a lookout!

The article says we will have a flyby asteroid that will orbit the earth from September 29th to November 25th.  They can be precise about that, and future flybys:

'But the space rock is expected to make a close flyby of Earth from 1.1 million miles (1.7 million kilometers) away on January 9, 2025, before “leaving the neighborhood of Earth shortly afterwards, until its next return in 2055,” according to the study.

And when Asteroid 2024 PT5 comes back around again, astronomers expect it to become Earth’s mini-moon for a few days in November 2055 and again for a few weeks in early 2084.'

Math and observation are two different things. :0)
