Feel the Energy

Noreen Renier is a psychic detective. She believes that she possesses powers beyond those of the physical world. Renier considers herself a psychometrist, and when she touches objects previously belonging to the 'victim' she is able to feel their energy and get images and visions. Although Noreen cannot guarantee results every single time, she does promise that she will try her hardest no matter what! She wants the general public to know that psychic detectives do not solve crimes.. police do! She jsut hopes to help in discovering clues or possessions that were overlooked and may be key in putting together the pieces of the puzzle.
The charge for a psychic consultation is $1,000.oo. She has been a part of the law enforcement community for the past thirty years and gives her honest promise to get the results you want. She believes that she should be called in as a last resort and does not want to get in the way of a current investigation. She also does not want to be blamed for putting forward incorrect information. Noreen sure has all the bases covered just incase she senses the wrong energy!

Loch Ness.. Model?

I remember growing up the loch ness monster was definitely real. Sometimes I would see commercials for specials on the history channel "Searching for Nessie" and it was scary! Since then I have never really looked into the history behind the so-called "monster" that I have realized, while getting older and wiser, does not exist. I remember seeing many a time the photograph of a head sticking out of the water. It looked like some kind of reptile and definitely nothing I had seen before at the aquarium or the zoo. "A highly respectable British surgeon, Colonel Robert Wilson, was driving along the new road on the northern shore of the Loch on April 19, 1934 early in the morning when he said that he noticed something moving in the water. He happened to have a camera with him, so he quickly stopped his car and snapped a photo."
This photograph turned into living breathing proof that Nessie was in fact living and breathing. For decades people swore she was alive and living in the loch. The picture was named "the Surgeon's photograph" because Wilson did not want his name attached to it.Many investigations were led to try and figure out if the picture was a hoax. One scientist in the mid '80s believed that it was a marine bird or some kind of otter. This was believed to be the case because it looked from the picture that whatever it was could not have been more than two or three feet long.
This theory was disproven in 1990 when discoverers realized that the picture was in fact a toy submarine with a sea-serpent head. The plot unraveled and a man named Christian Spurling confessed to his involvement in the fake "Surgeon's photo." Apparantely Spurling's uncle came to him asking if he would make the figure and Spurling agreed. Then, his uncle gave the picture to Wilson because he was an upstanding surgeon and he thought it would be more believable coming from him. What was the reason behind the entire hoax one might ask? Spurling's uncle once found "loch ness tracks" on the ground in Scotland, which were later proved to be hippo tracks. The man wanted revenge for being humiliated at the truth behind his "discovery." I guess what goes around comes around, it's just a shame he had to terrify so many young children in the process.

Commies are Caught!

McCarthy should be proud of himself for creating so much tumult in American politics and society. He managed to make citizens of the United States question the decisions made by the White House regarding international affairs and foreign policies. How, you may ask? By accusing numerous officials of being communists and forcing them to be put on trial. McCarthy created a list of 205 people, which he later reduced to 57, who were reported Communists feeding information to the Soviet Union. These names were not kept a secret and were in fact published by th Senate in 1946. McCarthy also investigated different government departments and questioned a great amount of people about their political past. Some people lost their jobs after they admitted they had been members of the Communist Party. McCarthy made it clear to the witnesses that the only way of showing that they had abandoned their Communist views was by naming other members of the party.
Around this time the term "McCarthyism" was created. Many compare this hysteria around the U.S. to that of the witch hunt. So many people were getting caught, in trouble, and losing everything important to them. McCarthy tossed out some pretty strong accusations and got an incredible amount of people in trouble for their actions. There were a great deal of high-up figures who had their lives ruined by this man. McCarthy eventually move on from incriminating American politicians to looking into who was infiltrating the U.S. Army.
McCarthyism is still present in the current world. People fear for being associated with other radicals who have bad reputations. That is an offshoot of the craziness that spewed from all of these trials and hearings. Even some teachers decide to move away from more controversial topics for fear of saying the wrong thing, although I believe that was more popular a long time ago when the trials were actually going on. All in all the McCarthy trials truly taught Americans to watch their backs. Getting involved in shady businesses such as becoming a traitor will catch up with you in the end, and it is not a pretty sight.
