Elijah

One of my greatest reference books is a British series from the 70s called Out of This World. In one article they write about the Israelite prophet Elijah who lived in the 9th Century BCE. (And by the way, BCE can be interpreted as 'Before the Common era' or Before the Christian era' and is now popularly used instead of BC meaning 'Before Christ'.)

Anyways, back to Elijah who was said to raise the death, bring fire down from the sky and who ascended to heaven in a flaming chariot; he is also said to have psychically listened in on the battle plans of the king of Syria.

So much of life is interpretation.

Spooky Coincidence

On Halloween, October 31, 1988, Justin Kyle Russum was born. Both of his parents were also born on Halloween, on it 1954 and the other in 1963. The doctor who delivered Justin, who had just come on duty a few hours earlier, was also born on October 31.

This spooky coincidence was found in Science Frontiers Some Anomalies and Curiosities of Nature compiled by William R. Corliss.

And I thought it was the stork that brought babies - it`s really The Great Pumpkin!
