Ghost radar does not guarantee to detect ghosts, nor does it imply that they exist. But it might, and they may. However, your interaction, emotional state, and belief system, may be important factors in how you interpret unusual events.
Letter bomb sent to London Congestion Charge Office. And I've just heard that another letter bomb has been sent to the offices of Vantis in Wokingham, a company apparently involved in speed cameras. 'Captain Gatso', the head of Motorists Against Detection, has denied responsibility, although he said, "there is a war against motorists, and this was an act of retaliation". Official activities like the Congestion Charge divide opinion in London. More unpopular are poorly regulated clamping and towing companies - but at least there's a solution for that. But watch out libertarian motorists, along with your god, Jeremy Clarkson, George Monbiot is on your case! more inside

Hiroshi Sugimoto: "One evening while taking photographs at the American Museum of Natural History, I had a near-hallucinatory vision. My internal question-and-answer session leading up to this vision went something like this: "Suppose you shoot a whole movie in a single frame?" The answer: "You get a shining screen." Immediately I began experimenting in order to realize this vision. One afternoon I walked into a cheap cinema in the East Village with a large-format camera. As soon as the movie started, I fixed the shutter at a wide-open aperture. When the movie finished two hours later, I clicked the shutter closed. That evening I developed the film, and my vision exploded before my eyes." more inside
