Who’s Running The Asylum?
Why, the Johnson county (Iowa) board of supervisors, of course. The board voted to allow self-proclaimed ghost hunters access to a former insane asylum located in that county. Mind you, there have never been any ghosts reported there.
Brandon Cochran, museum operations assistant for the historical society, said there have never been reports of ghosts or bizarre happenings at the building and that bringing in a paranormal team is "kind of taking the pre-emptive approach.
He wants an Iowa-based paranormal investigative team to come in for one night. Cochran said he hopes they don't find any paranormal activity and the investigation can put to rest any speculation.
A four-person Carroll Area Paranormal Team will use thermal imaging equipment and voice recording systems, Cochran said.
The mind boggles. In other odd news, a Farmer in Australia is wondering who threw the suspected bits of spacecraft onto his property:
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A cattle farmer in Australia's remote northern outback on Friday said he had found a giant ball of twisted metal, which he believes is space junk from a rocket used to launch communications satellites.
Farmer James Stirton found the odd-shaped ball last year on his 40,000 hectare property, about 800 kilometres (500 miles) west of the northern Queensland state capital of Brisbane.
Rumor has it that the Johnson county board of supervisors is sending a team of UFO investigators. Meanwhile, signs of giant sharks have been found in the St. Clair River in Michigan:
"It's a shark tooth," Craig Wentz said. "It's petrified. It's rock."
Michigan State University paleontologist Michael Gottfried said the 3-inch long tooth comes from an extinct species called Carcharodon megalodon, or the "megatooth" shark. The megalodon, which went extinct 2 million years ago, reached lengths of more than 60 feet.
By comparison, Great White sharks generally are about 20 feet long.
Rumors that the Johnson county board of supervisors is sending shark hunters to investigate are not true. They are actually sending the ghost hunters to locate Chief Brody and Quint so they can ask them to look into the matter.

The guy in Australia had better watch out. Before you know it a bunch of governement (which government? I leave that as an exercise for the student.) UFO cover-up operatives will be descending on his ranch ans spiriting away his space paperweight. It will be like it never existed……………………………….
