Publisher's Note: My first trip to England was to write a travel piece on the very trendy tourist area of Torquay. So when I came across this article about Edward Bulwer-Lytton the author of the Coming Race and many other books I thought to share this article with you.

Belize does not immediately come to mind when thinking of hot bed areas for ghostly activity, but in fact it has one of the more intriguing and long-lasting ghost stories I’ve run across in recent years. The ancient Mayan ruin of Xunantunich lies about 80 miles west of Belize City.

Middle Age paintings have recently been viewed with different eyes by UFO enthusiasts who are searching for information of extraterrestrials and UFOS. Many paintings have been found that show possible UFO encounters and  possible flying saucers.

Last weekend I took a trip to St. Augustine, Florida. It took about three hours to get there from the West Coast. We visited some of the more historic monuments during the day, including one of the oldest Forts built by the Spanish after Ponce de Leon discovered the Florida "Paradise" and the Old Lighthouse. In the evening, I took my SONY digital camera out attempting to capture images of anything out of the ordinary. I will say that when I snapped the still photographs, there was nothing in front of me. I had adjusted the camera to nighttime and twilight.

A TOUR of Indonesia's spice islands brings a close encounter with a reptilian giant.

A BIG beady eye fixed its gaze on me. Suddenly the long, powerful tail started to twitch and the monstrous beast lifted to its full height on razor-sharp, clawed feet. I was sitting on the ground near a water hole trying to get a low-angle close-up shot of two Komodo dragons, side by side in the wild.

A lovely place on the sea shore, Rameshwaram Temple is often described as the Kashi or Varanasi of South India. I happened to visit this place along with the elders of my family. We went to Rameshwaram from Madurai and I loved the drive. While on our way as we were entering to Rameshwaram, we halted on the long bridge. Oh!

Chartres Cathedral was constructed between 1193 and 1250 AD. It was during the times of the Crusades. The legend of Templar knights bringing back knowledge from the Temple of Solomon is written by many researchers. The Crusader knights came from the noble families of France and Europe. A picture of the Ark of the Covenant is on a pillar at Chartres showing it being moved by a cart. The inscription states that the "Ark of the Covenant was yielded from here."
