Over the years, the American Central Intelligence Agency has gained a reputation for being the most far-reaching, sophisticated, and effective government intelligence agency on the planet. At the same time, the CIA has also become known for its incredible paranoia and propensity to undertake costly, sometimes illegal, and often downright absurd projects in the name of gaining an edge on the competition. From spy cats to psychic hippies, the following are ten of the weirdest spy programs the government has proposed and funded over the years.
10. Acoustic Kitty
Most people wouldn’t think of the common house cat as being a potential master of espionage, but the CIA sure did. In the 1960s, American intelligence is said to have spent over $20 million on “Acoustic Kitty,” a top-secret project that used cats as recording devices. The project took a group of specially trained cats and surgically implanted microphones, antennae and batteries into their tails, and then set them loose near the Russian embassy. The idea was that an unassuming cat would be able to stride right up to groups of communist officials and listen in on their conversation, which it could then beam back to agents with its sophisticated radio equipment. The plan was eventually put into action, but the first cat sent into the field was supposedly run over by a taxi before it could make a recording, and operation ‘Acoustic Kitty” was abandoned shortly thereafter.
9. Operation Mockingbird
One of the most ambitious and downright insidious programs ever launched by the CIA was Operation Mockingbird, a propaganda project that was implemented in the early 1950s. It was a massive undertaking that saw as many as 3,000 CIA agents and collaborators attempt to gain some control of the free press by feeding select groups of reporters information and using newspapers at home and abroad to filter the kinds of stories that got to the public. At its height, the program included writers for the New York Times, Newsweek, and Time Magazine among its ranks, and was said to have a significant influence on as many as 25 major newspapers. The program had a major impact abroad, as well, as it served a major function in helping to sway public opinion in the run-up to the eventual overthrowing of Guatemala’s leftist president. Operation Mockingbird continued to have a major effect on worldwide media throughout the 50s, and it was not until the 60s that a series of reports by investigative journalists brought the program to light.
8. Operation Gold
The tapped telephone wires are presented to the press.
One of the most audacious intelligence operations of the Cold War was 1953’s Operation Gold, which was a joint effort between the CIA and the British MI6 to hack into the phone lines of the Soviet headquarters in East Berlin. This required the construction of a massive 450-meter long tunnel that would intersect with an underground telephone junction. Just preparing the tunnel took six months, and involved a substantial amount of risk and subterfuge. But when it was done, the CIA proceeded to carefully record as many as 50,000 telephone conversations over the course of nearly a year. The problem? A mole in British intelligence had tipped off the KGB about Operation Gold before the tunnel was even completed, and the Soviets had been feeding fake them information the entire time. In 1956, the Soviets raided the tunnel and shut it down, and the operation eventually caused a great deal of controversy for the American and British intelligence communities.
7. Operation Northwoods
In the early 1960s, when the Cold War was in full swing and fear of communism was rampant, a plan dubbed Operation Northwoods was proposed within the American CIA. In short, it called for the government to perform a series of violent terrorist actions in U.S. cities including bombings, hijackings, phony riots, and sabotage, all of which could then be blamed on Cuba. This would drum up support for a war against the communists and lead to an eventual military operation to remove Fidel Castro from power. The plan was drafted and signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and presented to President John F. Kennedy, who personally rejected it, and it was subsequently abandoned. For years after, Operation Northwoods existed as a rumor, but it was finally revealed to be true when top-secret documents describing the plan were made public in 1997 as part of a release of government papers relating to the Kennedy assassination.
6. Project Pigeon
One of the most seemingly preposterous military programs of all time occurred during WWII, when famed behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner was enlisted by the government to try and train pigeons for use in a missile guidance system. At the time, Skinner was known as one of the major practitioners of operant conditioning, a system that used reward and punishment as a means of controlling behavior. With these ideas in mind, Skinner placed a series of specially trained pigeons inside missiles. A camera on the front of the missile recorded its flight path, which was then projected on a screen for the pigeon to see. The birds were trained to recognize the missile’s intended target, and they would peck at the screen if it was drifting off course. This information was fed to the weapon’s flight controls, which would then be changed to reflect the new coordinates. Skinner was originally given $25,000 to get the project up and running, and he actually managed to make some minor progress with it. But government officials were never quite able to get past the obvious absurdity of the program, and it was eventually shut down. Image credit: http://www.psywarrior.com/
5. Operation Midnight Climax
In the early 1960s, the youth culture of America was first beginning to experiment with hallucinogenic drugs like LSD, and so was the Central Intelligence Agency. Operation Midnight Climax was one of the government’s most ridiculous and illegal attempts to test the possible uses of drugs like acid by administering them to unsuspecting citizens. The program was run out of a collection of safehouses in New York and California. Prostitutes were used to lure young men to the houses, at which point they were given food or drink spiked with LSD and other drugs and placed in a room with a two-way mirror where their behavior could be observed. Midnight Climax was essentially an experimental program designed to monitor the possible tactical uses of psychotropic drugs and sexual blackmail in the field, but even within the Agency it was controversial, and it was shut down after only a few years. Most of the files connected to the operation were destroyed, but a few survived, and in the early 70s the files regarding Midnight Climax and many other illegal CIA programs were brought to light in a famous story by the New York Times.
4. The Stargate Project
The $20 million Stargate Project was a blanket term used to describe a large number of psychic experiments and investigations undertaken by the U.S. government between the 70s and 90s. The biggest goal of the Stargate Project was to investigate the scientific probability of “remote viewing,” which is the psychic ability to witness events over great distances. The program, which also investigated psychic abilities like out of body experiences and clairvoyance, tested subjects on their ability to predict future events and read hidden documents. The Stargate Project usually enlisted the services of anywhere from 3 to 22 subjects at a time, many of whom managed to test with an accuracy rating as much as 15% higher than the norm. Still, although some participants claimed to have correctly predicted major world events like military attacks and hostage situations, the program found that remote viewers and so-called telepaths were still wrong nearly 80 percent of the time, and in 1995 the CIA cancelled the Stargate Project for good.
3. Operation Mongoose
In the early 60s, communist Cuba became one of the major battlegrounds of the Cold War, and its president Fidel Castro came to be considered one of the most dangerous political figures in the world. After early attempts to overthrow Castro by force failed, the CIA instituted Operation Mongoose, which was a secret war of propaganda and sabotage designed to remove the Cuban leader from power. Operation Mongoose had a remarkably wide scope, and included plans to fake attacks on Cuban exiles, provide arms to opposition groups, and destroy Cuba’s crop of sugarcane. It also included several attempts to either assassinate or discredit Castro in the press, each of which was more elaborate and ridiculous than the next. The Agency considered, among other things, poisoning Castro’s personal supply of cigars, planting explosives disguised as seashells in his favorite swimming spots, and injecting him with a deadly chemical from a hypodermic needle disguised as a pen. Even more bizarre were the plans to discredit Castro in the public eye, which included a proposal to spray a TV studio with hallucinogens prior to one of the leader’s televised speeches, and even planting chemicals in his clothes that would cause his famous beard to fall out. The near-disaster of the Cuban Missile Crisis put Operation Mongoose on hold, and following an agreement between Kennedy and the Soviets, it was more or less abandoned.
2. Project MKULTRA
One of the most downright creepy government programs and the fodder for countless conspiracy theories, Project MKULTRA was a sweeping and top-secret CIA program started in the early 1950s that included experiments in “chemical interrogation” and mind control. In short, MKULTRA was a plan that sought to use drugs, psychological stress, and bizarre interrogation methods to get information, control behavior, and even alter brain function. To this day, much of the information on the project remains classified, but what we do know is that the program involved the testing and interrogation of private citizens—often without their knowledge or consent—in the service of discovering whether or not certain drugs could be used as truth serums. This included giving subjects large doses of LSD, amphetamine, and mescaline, as well as shock therapy. In one case, subjects were supposedly dosed with acid for 77 days straight in an attempt to test the effects of long-term exposure to the drug. Conspiracy theories abound about the real goals of the project, with some saying it was a program to engineer zombie assassins through mind control and brainwashing. Some information about MKULTRA was finally brought to light in the early seventies, when news reports about CIA abuses of power led to a Congressional commission. The project was subsequently shut down, but many people claim that similar CIA programs still exist to this day.
1. The Bay of Pigs Invasion
For sheer absurdity, wastefulness, and infamy, few CIA projects compare to 1961’s failed Bay of Pigs Invasion. The program was one of the first and boldest attempts to overthrow communist Cuban leader Fidel Castro, but it was also the most disastrously unsuccessful. It started in 1960, when the CIA, under the authorization of the President, began planning an attempted overthrow of the Cuban government. In order to eliminate any link to the U.S., the attack was to be perpetrated by an army of Cuban exiles specially trained by the CIA. After a series of diversionary air strikes, on April 17, 1961, a group of amphibious troop transports landed on a beach in the Bay of Pigs and began unloading their cargo of 1,300 exile guerillas. The plan was for them to rendezvous with a smaller band of paratroops to be dropped soon after their arrival, but from the beginning their plan was tragically mistimed. For starters, Cuban intelligence was already aware of the planned invasion, and this meant that when the exile troops landed they were almost immediately under attack. To add to the force’s problems, bad weather, coral reefs, and the Cuban swamps quickly claimed most of their equipment. All told, an estimated 2,000 Cubans died during the invasion, while over 100 members of the exile army were killed in action. The remaining 1,200 were captured and imprisoned, and some were later executed on the orders of Castro. Over a year later, the rest were freed in exchange for $53 million in food and medicine for Cuban people. The effects of the Bay of Pigs were far reaching. Several American officials resigned over their involvement in it, and many have credited it with increasing the resolve of the Cuban government and encouraging a severe distrust of American foreign policy in the years that followed.
Although the threat of nuclear war looms in the backs of our minds, seldom do we stumble upon the chance to view a collection of motion picture images depicting these apocalyptic beauties in their purest form—detonation.
Here is a collection of the best film footage of nuclear explosions, thanks to the thoughtful government employees around the world:
10. Underground
They buried a nuke, put a camera in a tower 1,500 feet tall, and let the good times roll. What ensued was an astonishing display of power. The desert literally ripples up like water, and the explosion tears through the ground with a fury similar to a… well… similar to a nuclear bomb going off underground. It was so cool that afterwards everyone wanted to fire the guy who named the operation. “Project Sedan” sounds like something Toyota should initiate to help with their latest recall, not an underground nuclear bomb test. Come on, US Military, let’s get serious out there (“Project Sedan” – Nevada, 1962).
9. Slow Motion
Let’s take a drive to a little nowhere-town in New Mexico. Here we’ll set up some lawn chairs, don our Oakleys, crack a few Cokes, and watch the end of humanity in slow motion to an epic soundtrack. Bingo, bango, bongo.
8. Multiple Explosions
This is a particularly cool video, although the explosion (or multiple explosions) is not mentioned expressly by name. A better, more prolonged glimpse of the terrain during the explosion is allowed, which is often omitted in many other videos.
7. Nuclear Space Test
Ever wondered what would happen if a nuke went off over the ocean or was accidentally detonated in the upper atmosphere by a Patriot missile? This will give you a brief overview of that process. Although the video doesn’t go into detail, rest assured that radioactive debris floating around the upper atmosphere won’t be good for anybody.
6. Birds Eye View
Just one in a series of tests, this blast is viewed from the air. The explosion disrupts the atmosphere in an almost peaceful way, by spinning off large rings of clouds and condensation. The resulting fireball forms a palm tree shape, making it an almost tropical experience for the aviators (and us). (Ivy King, US Military, 1952.)
5. Inside the Explosion
The footage itself is interesting from the perspective that the blast differs greatly from many similar bombs. The wave of condensation—the white shell that gives the explosion that “hard-boiled egg” look—dissipates unexpectedly, leaving a naked view of the inner workings of the explosion. At first it’s hard to tell if they’ve used some sort of trick photography, but then one realizes what is happening (Ivy Mike, US Military, 1952).
4. The Big One
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any bigger: this is the largest in-atmosphere dry fuel thermonuclear hydrogen bomb ever detonated by the USA. The bomb was 3 times more powerful than our scientists had imagined, and natives and military personnel were dusted by the ashes, resulting in horrific disfigurement and even death. Very few people smiled and shook hands over this one (Castle Bravo, Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands, 1954).
3. Under Water
“Let’s take a big ole’ nuke, put it underwater, go up in an airplane, and videotape what happens when it goes off.” Someone in the United States military in the 70s must have said this, because that’s what they did. The slow motion footage of this blast is very worthwhile. Thanks, Uncle Sam, you’ve really brightened our day!
2. The King of Bombs
Aptly named “The King of Bombs,” this behemoth blew apart the Russian landscape like nothing before or since. Similarly, the footage, albeit brief, will blow your mind. The sheer magnitude and continuance of the blast rings is enough to make you shiver. Were you to be in the vicinity, third degree burns would occur up to and including 62 miles from the blast’s epicenter. This means that the Tsar Bomb has a kill-or-severely-wound diameter of roughly 124 miles from ground zero. Go ahead TNT… eat your heart out (Tsar Bomb 1961, Russia).
1. And the Award Goes To…
The best balance of appropriate music, tasteful film editing, and crisp images of nuclear explosions I could find. Breathtaking. Epic. Beautiful. Deadly. Enjoy!
There is a lot of sex talk out there, but there are just as many fallacies finding their way between the sheets as there are truths. Now we all know that the size of a man’s appendage versus his outer extremities (hand, head, foot) has no proven correlation, and nor does the act of self-gratification stand to make one go blind. There are however several myths that have not been publicly chastised for their ridiculous nature, and often are still believed to be truth rather than fiction. Let’s look at these top ten myths about sex.
10. A Cold Shower Dashes the Libido
A cold shower has been said to curb peak sexual appetite, simply by reducing the amount of testosterone levels in men and estrogen levels in women. There is simply no proven basis for this belief, and in fact, an English study for Thrombosis has shown that a cold shower actually stimulates libido by increasing hormone levels. The end result is even more sexual excitement than was first started with. Take heart all ye anxious ladies and gentlemen, as I hear a ball peen hammer and wooden plank still does wonders for destroying ones sexual appetite!
9. The Power of a Lover’s Stare
The power of a lover’s stare has been written in romance novels ever since an ink pen was first laid to a piece of parchment. True lovers have been said to have the ability to stare into each others eyes for hours on end, falling in love again and again, without ever growing tired. However, what has actually been found in studies, is that staring at your lover has about a 50/50 chance of promoting feelings of love and passion. The other fifty percent of the time it promotes aggression and annoyance, which has been documented in couple studies as fighting and arguing. I guess it is true… all’s fair in love and war!
8. Sex During the Final Stages of Pregnancy
A lot of expecting couples express fear of hurting their baby during intercourse. Especially during the final trimester. However, most research today not only shows that intercourse is completely safe for the child, it actually can promote a healthier, speedier labor and delivery. It is an old wives tale that sex is bad for the fetus once it is past a certain stage of growth. Many doctors say that you should be able to have a healthy sexual relationship with your partner right up until the day of delivery. Chalk much of this myth up to man’s over-exaggeration of his unit!
7. Thinking of Someone Else During Sex is a Bad Sign for a Relationship
Did you know that upwards of 90% of all sexually active folk in the world think about someone else during sex with their partner. It is actually a completely natural part of a healthy sexual relationship. The majority of folks think about friends, neighbors, or co-workers, while a slightly smaller percentage (25% of Canadian men) prefer fantasizing about imaginary characters. Everything from Betty Boop to the Lone Ranger has run through the minds of countless lovers over the decades, and should not be considered an indicator that a relationship is heading for the rocks.
6. Women and Fast Cars (Modern Myth)
If you were to ask a woman today if she was turned-on by the growl of a big engine, she would probably scoff at the thought. In fact, in light of the popular green movement, it is now popular for women to prefer men who drive environmentally-friendly vehicles, such as the Toyota Prius. However, a recent study says differently… a lot differently. It turns out, women show substantial increases in sexual arousal (measured by testosterone in saliva) while listening to the sound of a high performance Maserati, as compared to a low performance Volkswagen (VW) Polo. In fact, the VW actually decreased the arousal of women below that of the baseline of watching the nerdy scientists test their equipment before the study began. Talk about an anti-aphrodisiac!
5. Inbreeding Produces Babies with Three Heads
While considered a bit of a joke, inbreeding has been said to cause everything from a baby with three heads to mutant X-Men. In truth, while inbreeding should not necessarily be considered a good thing, it is not nearly as bad as some people think. A 30-year Western Australian study, looked at cultures who regularly practice first cousin marriages and found no abnormalities in their offspring beyond that of what would be expected from any other traditional, unrelated couple. The same myth also applies to inbreed animals, who are not always the weaker of the species.
4. Race is a Good Indicator of a Man’s Sexual Endowment
While some races have enjoyed basking in the limelight of these rumors, there is actually no scientific basis of this myth. While your cousin’s friend, who knew a girl, who dated several professional basketball players claims this myth maybe true, a study from the Porterback Clinic, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, and St. James’ Hospital, says differently. The study found that a man’s physical endowment had absolutely nothing to do with his race, creed, or color. It’s has much more to do with that haphazard toss of the genetic die that came soon after that glimmer from our parents eye.
3. Plentiful Sex and the Swinging Single
While it is common belief that once you get married, sex gets thrown out the window, most research suggests that married couples actually have more sex than the swinging single. This is mostly because couples living together are presented with more opportunities to have sex. Anywhere from 25 to 300 percent more opportunity for sex, on average. However, over the course of marriage, sex dwindles, leaving the frequency of sex comparable to that of a lifetime of living single. One way to improve your odds of having more sex, is to marry multiple times. However, the stress of all those marriages/divorces just might toss you right into an early grave, leaving you with even less sex!
2. Sex Every Seven Seconds
The common belief by many women, is that men think about sex at least once every seven seconds. Truth is, men today are actually too weighed down with thoughts of success and finances to devote that kind of brain power to the subject. In fact, only half of men (54 percent) think about sex once per day according to the Kinsey Institute, while the other 43 percent designate just a few fantasies spread out over the course of a week. An abysmal 4 percent think about just once over the course of an entire month. Talk about a grossly overinflated female-chauvinistic rumor.
1. Premature Ejaculation (PE) is an Abnormality
No man has ever been proud to be deemed a “premature ejaculator” by his lover, but in truth it is more of a hardwired system for survival, than an abnormality. The average male can last 5.4 minutes before lift-off, which was biologically pertinent to the population of the planet back in the early days. When faced with man-eating chickens, men had to get the job done quick. There was no time for flowers, song, and love poems. The threat of a Tyrannosaurus charging while in the throes of passion, was enough to make him even quicker, which is why anxiety is still one of the leading causes of PE.
Berikut ini adalah beberapa hasil keajaiban di bidang industri yang merupakan hasil pemikiran manusia yang telah banyak membantu kehidupan manusia sekitarnya.
7. SS Great Eastern: Dirancang oleh Isambard Brunel Kindgom, SS Great Eastern adalah salah satu kapal uap terbesar yang pernah berlayar. Kapal ini mampu membawa penumpang sekitar 4.000 lebih dari seluruh dunia tanpa harus berhenti untuk mengisi bahan bakar. Kapal ini memiliki berat sekitar 18.915 ton. Selama awal perjalanan di bulan Agustus atau September tahun 1859, sebuah ledakan menyebabkan bagian depan rusak. Ledakan itu ketika mesin uap kapal tertutup secara tidak sengaja. Kecelakaan itu menyebabkan korban tewas dan sedikitnya melukai 5 orang. SS Great Eastern melakukan beberapa perjalanan di laut dan kemudian menjadi kapal komersial untuk penumpang. Kapal itu akhirnya berhenti beroperasi pada antara 1889 dan 1890.
6. Bell Rock Lighthouse: Dua belas mil di bagian pantai Angus, Skotlandia, Anda akan menemukan Bell Rock Lighthouse. Bell Rock Lighthouse adalah mercusuar khusus karena tidak berdiri di darat, tapi pada Bell Rock- sebuah daerah yang dibangun di laut lepas. Kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh para insinyur dalam membangun mercusuar tersebut adalah untuk memulai dengan yang signifikan, mengingat letaknya yang dibangun di tengah laut lepas. Pada arsitektur standar yang digunakan untuk membangun Bell Rock Lighthouse belum pernah direplikasi. Dalam keberadaannya selama lebih dari 200 tahun, mercusuar diganti peralatan pada 1843 ke sistem otomatis pada tahun 1998. Lampu reflektor asli dimusiumkan di Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland.
5. Brooklyn Bridge: The Brooklyn Bridge di New York Manhattan dianggap sebagai salah satu jembatan tertua yang ada di Amerika Serikat. Ketika jembatan yang dibuka pada bulan Mei 1883 itu adalah jembatan gantung tertua di dunia. Jembatan juga merupakan jembatan pertama yang dibangun untuk menghubungkan Brooklyn ke Long Island. Jembatan yang dilewati berbagai macam barang, selain sebagai jembatan bagi mobil yang ingin ke Long Island. Karena alas an usia dan konstruksi, truk komersial dan bus tidak diizinkan untuk menggunakan Brooklyn Bridge. Pada tahun 2008 lalu, jembatan ini genap berusia 25 tahun.
4. London Sewerage System: London Sewerage System adalah sistem untuk dikenal sebagai mesin dengan tingkat kompleks tertinggi di dunia. Dibangun pada abad ke-19, sistem ini ditujukan untuk menyelamatkan kehidupan jutaan orang yang sedang terancam oleh limbah buangan Sungai Thames. Proyek ini dimulai dengan enam mesin utama dan berjalan lebih dari 100 mil. Selanjutnya ditambahkan 450 mil dari sistem untuk mengakomodasi 13.000 mil dari sistem mesin yang telah dibuat. Meskipun sebagian besar kota mengalami alam drainase ke arah timur, beberapa stasiun pemompaan dibangun di Chelsea, Abbey Mills, dan Deptford sistem untuk memastikan sistem yang dibuat dapat berjalan dengan baik.
3. Terusan Panama: Terusan panama merupakan terusan yang paling menakjubkan di dunia. Menghubungkan Atlantik dan lautan Pasifik, sistem ini secara luas dianggap sebagai yang paling komprehensif, kompleks, dan proyek rekayasa berbahaya yang pernah dibuat manusia. Pembangunanya di mulai pada 1880 di bawah pengawasan dari pemerintah Perancis. Proyek ini dibatalkan setelah 21.900 pekerja meninggal dunia dan kemudian ditinjau kembali oleh Amerika Serikat. Pembangunanya sendiri akhirnya selesai pada tahun 1914.
2. First Transcontinental Railroad: Rel pertama dibangun di Council Bluffs di Iowa dan Omaha, Nebraska sampai Alamada, California. Perkeretaapian yang menakjubkan ini memungkinkan bagian timur dan barat dari Amerika Serikat untuk terhubung untuk pertama kalinya. Pembangunan jalan kereta api yang dimulai dari Pacific Railway Act tahun 1862 dan telah didukung oleh seluruh pemerintah. Jalan kereta api yang secara resmi dibuka untuk lalu lintas pada 10 Mei 1869, empat tahun setelah kematian Abraham Lincoln.
1. Hoover Dam: Hoover Dam yang berdiri di perbatasan Nevada dan Arizona, pada saat penyelesaiannya pada 1935 dan merupakan bendungan penghasil energi listrik terbesar di dunia hasil penggerakan turbin yang digerakkan oleh air. Bendungan yang dinamai oleh Herbert Hoover selaku menteri perdagangan dan kemudian sebagai Presiden Amerika Serikat, memainkan peran yang sangat besar dalam pembangunannya. Selesai pada 1935, bendungan yang saat ini sedang dioperasikan oleh US Department of the Interior dan secara resmi bernama National Historic Landmark. sumber: http://all-mistery.blogspot.com/2010/04/7-keajaiban-dunia-di-dunia-industri.html

Pemilik baru rumah dengan alamat 112 Ocean Avenue juga mengaku mengalami berbagai fenomena seram, yang akhirnya ditulis dalam novel dan film-film horor. Tapi semua even supernatural tersebut tidak pernah berhasil dibuktikan dan pengacara DeFeo mengakui bahwa semua cerita yang ada hanyalah bohongan.
3. Alcatraz Karang sekaligus Penjara paling terkenal di dunia yang berada di San Francisco Bay ini, berhasil memerangkap banyak imajinasi masyarakat dalam berbagai film dan buku. Penjara yang dingin, gelap dan menyedihkan ini sudah berkali-kali menjadi saksi bisu atas pembunuhan, pemberontakan, bunuh diri dan berbagai hal seram lain selama 29 tahun ia menjadi penjara. Selama itu juga, Alcatraz membuahkan berbagai cerita tentang suara aneh, sel yang tertutup dengan sendirinya, jeritan dengan asal yang tidak jelas, dan berbagai macam penampakan mengerikan.
4. Pondok Fox Bersaudara Fenomena ini tidak se-terkenal tempat lain, tapi pondok Fox bersaudara ini mungkin adalah rumah berhantu paling penting, karena semenjak fenomena ini muncul, maka banyak standar mengenai rumah berhantu ditetapkan berdasarkan cerita di rumah ini, bahkan pondok ini meluncurkan satu kepercayaan baru. Pada 1848, Hydesville, New York barat, dua kakak beradik, Maggie dan Katie Fox mulai berkomunikasi dengan arwah pedagang yang terbunuh. Kedua kakak adik ini, dengan semacam sesi tanya jawab arwah, menanyakan sesuatu, dengan jawaban berupa ketikan yang misterius. Banyak orang terpesona, bahkan ibu mereka sendiri terpesona dan percaya bahwa ini adalah benar-benar sesi tanya jawab dengan arwah. Tapi akhirnya kedua kakak adik ini mengakui bahwa tindakan mereka hanyalah main-main. Tetapi kepercayaan baru yang muncul, Spiritualisme, masih tetap bertahan dan berjalan.
5. Gedung Putih The Washington, D.C., rumah dinas presiden AS ini tentunya telah menjadi tuan rumah atas berbagai tragedi yang terjadi selama beberapa abad ini. Mulai dibakarnya rumah ini pada 1814 oleh pasukan Inggris, sampai beberapa kali percobaan (dan ada juga yang berhasil) pembunuhan. Salah satu kisah seram yang ada adalah hantu Abraham Lincoln. Janda Abe, Mary Todd, memperkuat dengan berbagai sesi tanya jawab arwah di Gedung Putih. Hantu lain yang juga terkenal antara lain adalah Andrew Jackson, Dolley Madison, dan Abigail Adams, walaupun mereka sekarang jarang terlihat. sumber: http://jelajahunik.blogspot.com/2010/04/5-bangunan-berhantu-di-amerika-yang.html
