Are women more likely to experience the paranormal than men?

Dr. Pamela Heath, who has 13 years experience investigating hauntings and spontaneous paranormal events, and has appeared on television as both as a parapsychologist and a psychic, says no.

"Absolutely not," she says to Ghostvillage in a recent interview. "As someone who knows the research fairly well, it drives me nuts how often people accept these kind of myths as 'established fact' when they are nothing of the kind..."

Production begins next week in the U.K. on Focus Features and BBC Films’ new darker adaptation of gothic suspense Jane Eyre (based on Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel) adaptated by Moira Buffini about looming mansions, stormy moors, and wailing pyromaniac madwomen locked in attics!...

Now that our Controllers have stepped up their false flag operations (sending their mind controlled patsies crashing into IRS buildings, strolling up to the Pentagon with firearms brandished, sticking bombs in their underpants and boarding airplanes) in order to garner the nearly-braindead public's support for demonizing peaceful dissent and shutting down freedom of speech once and for all, conspiracy researchers have once again hit the top of society's shit list (number one with a bullet, you might say, as it's only a matter of time before they begin rounding us up and gunning us down).

Despite this stigma, women sometimes observe the goings-on in the male dominated conspiracy theory universe and think to themselves, "I want to play, too." So they try, but it usually only takes one time calling into the Alex Jones show and getting yelled at before they throw in the towel. What they don't know is that before there was Alex Jones, Alan Watt, David Icke, or even the sainted William Cooper (R.I.P.), there was Edith Starr Miller...

Joan Jett defines awesome. There’s no other way to describe it.

A true pioneer in the music industry, Joan has been in the music scene for 35 years and is one of the most recognizable, and biggest selling female artists in the history of rock. Her seminal hit “I Love Rock N Roll” is one of Billboard Magazine’s highest charting singles ever and at age 50, still sells out shows worldwide...

In the mid 1990s, director Floria Sigismondi exploded onto the music video scene with visually striking, intense visuals that took the art form to a high. Probably best known for Marilyn Manson’s iconic music video "The Beautiful People," Sigismondi has made arrestingly striking videos with the best artists in the field, including David Bowie, The White Stripes, Christina Aguilera, and The Black Eyed Peas.

Her extensive background in this field led Sigismondi to helm her first feature film, a biopic/coming of age film The Runaways, about the title band of teenage girls who in 1975 formed a group and become a rock sensation before the pressures of being famous so young led to the band’s breakup...

In the past decade, Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart grew up before our eyes on screen to become the most successful child stars of the decade. Now grown up, Fanning, 16, and Stewart, 19, enter the new decade with their most challenging and ambitious work yet in capturing the essence of the two main members of The Runaways, Cherrie Curie and Joan Jett respectively.

For Fanning, being the same age as Cherrie Curie was during the height of The Runaways success was beneficial to truly portray the accuracy on screen, and Fanning portrays the transition from innocent David Bowie fan to an out of control rock star with strong conviction...

Tess Downy wrote, directed, and produced The Vanguard, an expose of a real-life account of an anti-semitic Aryan group that infiltrates a high school in the Californian Mojave desert and threatens the lives of Jewish teacher and those who try to protect her. Violence, guns, murder, tensions, suspense, and some cool white-trash backdrops seem to make this a scary, realistic portrayal of modern violence.

The film stars Vernon Wells, Joe Estevez, Janet Lee, Randy Wayne, Jacob Lucchini, and Downy herself. No release date yet, but we're waiting for Quantum Releasing to announce it. Downy's next film will be the thriller The Shankill Road, about a group of Irish terrorists in the 1970's that terrorized Northern Ireland, set to start shooting this spring 2010. Watch The Vanguard's trailer...

Neon Angel: A Memoir of a Runaway by Cherie Currie is about to hit bookshelves tomorrow, March 16th, 2010. Cherie Currie, with her signature Bowie haircut and fishnet stockings, was the groundbreaking lead singer of ’70s teenage all-girl rock band The Runaways. At the tender age of fifteen, she joined a group of talented girls — Joan Jett and Lita Ford on guitar, Jackie Fox on bass, and Sandy West on drums—who could play rock like no one else.

Arriving on the Los Angeles music scene in 1975, they catapulted from playing small clubs to selling out major stadiums, headlining shows with opening acts like the Ramones, Van Halen, Cheap Trick, and Blondie. Currie lit up the stage with the provocative teen-rebellion songs “Cherry Bomb,” “Queens of Noise,” and “Born to Be Bad,” riding a wave of hit songs and platinum albums, all while touring around the world...

Award-winning genre filmmaker Devi Snively's next film will be a neo-noir called Last Seen on Dolores Street. Snively's previous work includes Raven Gets a Life, Death in Charge, Teenage Bikini Vampire, Trippin', Meat is Murder, and Confederate Zombie Massacre.

Last Seen on Dolores Street will be "a 2-minute horror noir film that will hopefully actually be disturbing and scary as opposed to our usual whimsical lighthearted approach to horror," says Snively. "I'm both very excited and very nervous - this is a whole new territory for me."
