Obiwan's UFO-Free Paranormal Page

What's New and UFO-Free

Please note that updating any one section of this site is like holding a part time job; several features, like the True Stories and the Links Pages, could easily occupy a full-time employee (if only I had the cash to hire one! ;-). Therefore, please do not be alarmed if your favorite section goes several months, or even a year, without being updated. I keep all submissions and I WILL GET TO IT EVENTUALLY. Just be patient and try to remember that I am doing all of this in what little spare time I have from my two young children. Thank you for visiting!

If you have a specific question about me or the page, go here.
If you have read those pages and your question still isn't answered, email me and I will do my best to respond to you in a timely manner.

March 2000
NOTE: Because I am about 1K (literally!) away from my quota on my current ISP, I cannot add any new stories or features until I get some things switched over to another place. Thanks for being patient during the transition.
NOTE 2: I am also writing a novel which takes up lots of my time, and working on a new website unrelated to ghosts.org. In addition to taking care of my family (yes, I have a life off the computer), this is a large workload.

July 2000
UPDATE 1: I have secured more webspace and have made some more room on ghosts.org to add stuff. Hopefully I will be adding new stories soon with the help of my kindly volunteers.
UPDATE 2: The novel is coming along. I'm hoping to have it finished by October, but until then I suspect the webpage will continue to be neglected. :-( Sorry, folks.
UPDATE 3: I made another trip to the Whaley House in San Diego recently. I didn't see anything strange, but they are selling books and postcards about the ghost now, and seem to be more open about the phenomenon in general than they were a few years ago. If you're going to be in the San Diego area, I highly recommend you check it out.
