'UFO' Cloud Spotted Near Mt. Shasta:

A worker with the U.S. Forest Service snapped a breathtaking image of a cloud near Mount Shasta that bears an uncanny resemblance to a glowing UFO. The photo was taken by Fire Management Officer Paul Zerr last week and was subsequently posted to the Facebook page of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. As one can imagine, the picture inspired all manner of jokes about flying saucers and aliens, though the department was quick to note that the wondrous sight was not something from out of this world.

Ancient Megafloods:

Geological explorer and renegade scholar, Randall Carlson has four decades of study, research, and exploration into the interface between ancient mysteries and modern science. In the first half of Thursday's show, he discussed earth changes and catastrophic events, particularly "megafloods." He spoke about the history of catastrophism-- the idea that Earth has been shaped by sudden, violent climatic and geologic events-- a theory that has been considered by various scientists, theologians, and geologists beginning in the 19th-century. But once geology became established as an academic discipline, "gradualism" or slower changes emerged as the dominant paradigm, he explained. Carlson, however, detailed evidence for megafloods, staggering in their scope. View the full summary.

Benedictine University Might Be Haunted? October 16, 2019 Dielle Ochotorena Perspectives Editor Benedictine Hall circa 1901. Photo Credit: Benedictine University Archives We definitely have a lot of school ‘spirit’ here at Benedictine University. So much so we’re considered one of the most haunted universities in the United States. We have plenty of ghosts and no darling, I’m not talking about ghosting people. I mean real actual ghosts, spirits, apparitions, shadows, demons, Casper; whatever you want to call them; they’re all over campus, and who knows, they might be in your dorm room right now, or chilling next to you as you read this article. All the ghost stories come from the 130-year-old history of Benedictine University and its neighbors Benet Academy and St. Procopius Abbey across the street. So, let me give you some backstory. History matters and this is how these stories come about. In 1887, St. Procopius College was founded by Benedictine monks from the St. Procopius Pa

Spring Valley House–Sulfur Springs Hotel

The Spring Valley House–Sulfur Springs Hotel is a historic former hotel located along Dee Bennett Road in rural Utica Township , LaSalle County , Illinois . Built circa 1849, the hotel is unusually large for a rural hotel in the area. The brick and limestone building, which features Greek Revival elements and vernacular stonework, is four stories tall and 63 by 42 feet (19 by 13 m) in area. Its size is likely a result of it serving two different audiences; due to its proximity to the Illinois River and a major stagecoach line, it hosted travelers passing through the area, but it also functioned as a resort destination due to the area's hot springs . Three such springs are located on the site of the hotel, one of which has a spring house built over it. The story goes, that a young man was working the farm and fell into the well and drown. His spirit moves about the area and the Hotel's third floor as well. The opening of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad

Haunted Benet Academy Lisle Illinois

BENET ACADEMY St. Procopius Abbey Cemetery There is a Catholic High School in Lisle Illinois, by the name of Benet Academy. In its early years, it was Saint Procopius Academy and in its much earlier years, it was called St. Joseph Bohemian orphanage, conducted by the Benedictine Sisters of the Sacred Heart and the monks of Saint Procopius Abbey. I will try to give you more of a history of the orphanage later on but I would like to talk a little bit about my experiences when I was stationed at the Academy for 20 years. It was the late summer of 1973, I (Brother Ed, OSB) was assigned to Benet Academy to be the high school stationery, which meant I was going to be in charge with another monk by the name of Brother Columban, OSB who was the treasurer and the head stationer for the Academy. The main job of the stationer was to order all the school books and supplies for the students as well as the faculty and administration. It was also the job of the stationer to set up the school
