Paranormal Social Networking Site

6th

I think this could be big news, actually it is big news but I think it could be good news:

Hollywood super producer Steven Spielberg is preparing to launch a new social network, we’ve heard from multiple sources. The focus will be on users who’ve had or who are interested in sharing paranormal and extraterrestrial experiences. The new social network may also have original video content investigating alleged ghost and UFO stories.

Spielberg has always had a love for ghost and UFO stories. His movies include Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Poltergeist (1982), E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982), Casper (1995), Men in Black (1997), The Haunting (1999), War of the Worlds (2005) and the upcoming Interstellar (2009). His first movie, at 16, was a 140-minute science fiction adventure called Firelight (which later inspired Close Encounters). Add to those titles a score of other sci-fi movies.

Spielberg has apparently had at least one paranormal experience himself. There are stories of him staying in a hotel called Excelsior House and being so frightened by ghosts that he fled the room and moved 20 miles away. We’ve also heard anecdotes about Spielberg seeing the ghost of a dead relative repeatedly as a child. Whether based in reality or the product of an exceptional imagination, these experiences may have had an impact on his life’s work and this upcoming social network.

The project may have originally been associated with Yahoo but the project was killed off before launch. But if our sources are right, the idea has lived on and a team in Los Angeles is working to launch it in the next few months.

Some big names have come out in the past as having had paranormal experiences and its always given the area a bit of a boost. I'm looking forward to this and expect a lot with regards to it being a quality site.

I think he is just looking for material.

The problem with these big commercial sites is that if they have forums, the moderation is terrible. Just look at the IMDB forums or the BBC comments pages.

I'd expect that it alot of cases but I really dont think he'd need to go about it that way.

Nope, the irl was dropped before that period

On topic, does the forum have links from other Irish paranormal sites?
