Page 17 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ * Skeleton in the closet: to hide something, generally a deep dark secret │ │ of a family. No one is certain how this phrase came about. The first │ │ known written form of the phrase was in 1845 in The Oxford English │ │ Dictionary. The first time it appeared in any story was in William │ │ Makepeace Thackeray when he used it in a story submitted and printed in │ │ a magazine called Punch. │ │ * Johnny-come-lately: someone who arrives late or someone who is not very │ │ experienced, or a newcomer. The usage of this phrase first appeared in │ │ 1839 when journalist Charles F. Briggs wrote it in "The Adventures of │ │ Harry Franco." It was used originally when identifying a new sailor on │ │ board a ship; generally called a Johnny Newcome, it soon was converted │ │ to our current phrase of today. │ │ * Betting on a dark horse: of course this term comes to us from the rac- │ │ ing world. But the meaning may be surprising to you. It was originally │ │ used to describe a horse that had been kept under-wraps and his qualities│ │ a secret. The phrase was first used by Benjamin Disraeli in "The Young │ │ Duke" in 1831. It has come to mean something else entirely today. The │ │ phrase has now come to mean someone or anything that was not counted up- │ │ on. In political worlds it has come to mean the candidate that isn't │ │ likely to win. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Editor's Comments!

We have had a series of odd things happen lately │ │ in our private lives and the result has been to delay the magazine. Sorry │ │ it has happened, but these things do happen from time to time. │ │ "......Can you find the mag on another system?" │ │ Sorry, nope! We create the magazine and your SysOp picks it up directly │ │ from us. It isn't any place else until it is on our BBS system. │ │ ".....How come the computer is down or you say the phone doesn't answer." │ │ Well when we know we are going to be delayed with the magazine, we take │ │ our system down in hopes we save SysOps calling long distance those addi- │ │ tional costs of calling and not getting the most recent issue. │ │ We are happy you are dedicated to our magazine.

They are in the │ │ stores already, on display, reminding you that you must take some action. │ │ What is it? Why it is a Valentine's Card. This custom comes to us from │ │ two customs that were combined. The Romans celebrated the festival of │ │ the Lupercalia on February 15th and they also believed that on February │ │ 14th was the first day of spring and the mating season for birds. The │ │ latter promoted people to begin selecting mates on the 14th and having a │ │ festive celebration of their choice on the 15th. Over several years this │ │ remained the custom. Finally the two days were combined and Valentine's │ │ Day was born officially. │ │ The first Valentine was designed and developed by one Charles, Duke of │ │ Orleans in 1415. Charles was held prisoner during the war and often times │ │ wrote romantic poems to his wife. Hence the writing of poetry to one's │ │ valentine. │ │ The actual printed Valentine was the invention of Frank Staff in the 17th │ │ century. By the 1780s the printed Valentine became quite common, gaining │ │ huge popularity in Germany especially, where they called them "friendship │ │ cards." │ │ So don't forget your Valentine on February 14th! Get that card early and │ │ maybe some flowers or candy. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Mrs. President...

With arms thrust outward in draping silk sleeves, the │ │ seven "Servants of the Prince" menaced the tiny congregation with chanted │ │ exhortations to obedience and sacrifice. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 29 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ But where was Stella? │ │ │ │ "Let us only to serve, oh Prince, Thy intentions for the preparation of │ │ the UnHoly that Your coming may be swift and merciful and that we, Thy │ │ Servants, may appear acceptable to Thy sight." │ │ │ │ With teary eyes the Krausmeyer searched the darkened nooks of the occult │ │ chapel in hopes of a glimpse of his friend, Stella Blue. │ │ │ │ Stella. │ │ The unproclaimed Spiritual leader of the Team; the ersatz "mother" of │ │ the mentally ascendant, socially deficient geniuses in the employ of │ │ Eeeek International. │ │ │ │ Stella. Beneficent helpmate and counsellor; humble guide, wise mentor. │ │ Stella, friend to all, defamer of none.

She must have had │ │ a reason, he thought. She must have left me here for my own good. │ │ │ │ But what - WHAT! - was that reason? │ │ │ │ "Purify our hearts, oh Prince, that when Thy time is at hand, Thy │ │ servants will be worthy to receive Thy presence though never worthy to │ │ anoint Thy body though for such honor do Thy servants prepare │ │ themselves." │ │ │ │ The service appeared to be ending, so the Krausmeyer scanned the walls │ │ for the nearest means of escape; he didn't wish to be available for the │ │ inevitable proselytizing. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 31 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ "Prepare the bodies of Thy faithful, Oh Prince, that only the purest │ │ present themselves at Thy coming." That seemed to be it; the "Servants of │ │ the Prince" were filing down from the dais & members of the congregation │ │ were stepping out of their pews. Hymie did likewise. But on his way past │ │ the chancel rail, the little man was accosted by a huge male acolyte. │ │ │ │ "Have you risen for the cleansing?" the gruff voice asked. │ │ │ │ Hymie shook his head and was waving the question away with a smile when │ │ the corner of his diverted eye inadvertently caught the scrutiny in the │ │ man's face. Oh, no, he thought; I'm in for grilling now! "All are welcome │ │ at the gate of light," the man said. "Present yourself to the healing." │ │ │ │ That's when the Krausmeyer noticed that the service was far from │ │ concluded; every aisle in the chapel had filled with waiting supplicants. │ │ Hymie glanced behind the rail and saw that the "Servants" had engaged in │ │ a sort of "laying on of the hands" with the congregation. As each member │ │ stepped forward, she was seated on a low stool and subjected to the │ │ probes and prayers of one of the seven after which she returned to her │ │ pew adorned with a beatific smile. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 32 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Hymie looked up at his detainer, carved a friendly smile onto his lips │ │ and waved his "no thanks" at the large man. "Wait!" the acolyte demanded. │ │ "The healing will conclude shortly." With those words, the watchman of │ │ the faithful pushed Hymie into the pew & stood guard over his escape. │ │ Darn that Stella! Hymie thought. This must be some kind of a joke. But │ │ joke or not, the little man was compelled to sit out the service under │ │ the puzzled scrutiny of the huge acolyte. It was a surveillance the │ │ Krausmeyer did not enjoy. │ │ * │ │ "Have they annoyed you thoroughly?" the big woman asked Hymie. │ │ The Krausmeyer squirmed in his chair and frowned in answer to the │ │ question. The woman smiled. │ │ │ │ "Ah, yes," she said. "They have treated you shamelessly! First the big │ │ oaf at the door detained you without permission, then the Servants │ │ refused to administer the healing for which the oaf detained you!" As │ │ Hymie wondered how she knew all of that when she had not been present for │ │ any of it, the woman patted his knee said gently, "Of course you can go. │ │ And please accept my apologies. The youthful tend too exuberance in their │ │ causes." │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 33 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Hymie peered up at the big woman and found that he could not discern her │ │ age. Her face held a network of intersecting lines yet the skin itself │ │ appeared firm, robust, with even a hint of pink where Hymie expected │ │ pallid grey. │ │ │ │ "I'm eighty-six," the woman answered to Hymie's unspoken question. "I'm │ │ about as old and as dilapidated as this worn out church." │ │ │ │ For the first time Hymie took in the tiny apsidal alcove in which he had │ │ been cloistered shortly before the service had ended. From atop a stool │ │ in the center of the area, he had undergone the rejection of each of the │ │ beautiful seven "Servants" who had entered, turned up their noses and │ │ hastily retreated. Although he was in no mood for further rejection, he │ │ evidenced a certain fascination for the occult objects which adorned the │ │ darkened room. There were cauldrons and bottles and gemstones and amulets │ │ resting everywhere. │ │ │ │ "Most of the items housed here are centuries old," the woman said. "Some │ │ of them pre-date the time of Christ." When Hymie looked at her, she │ │ added, "We use them in our rituals." │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 34 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Hymie's curiosity had peaked enough that he wanted to ask questions - but │ │ of course he couldn't. The kind woman seemed to sense his impairment and │ │ spoke for him. │ │ │ │ "Mostly we do healing," she explained. "We believe in the power of the │ │ Spirit within and strive to help our aspirants release their own energy. │ │ We don't employ coercion and we ask for no financial obligation." Then │ │ she waited. │ │ │ │ The Krausmeyer's head dropped momentarily to his chest; then he slowly │ │ lifted his eyes imploringly into the woman's gaze. │ │ │ │ "You're wondering why the Seven rejected you?" she asked. "Do you really │ │ want to know?" │ │ │ │ Hymie nodded. │ │ │ │ "They were afraid of you. That is, they were afraid of your infirmities. │ │ They didn't believe they could help you." Hymie's eyes clouded with │ │ doubt. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 35 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ "All right," she said. "Your capacity for discernment is greater than I │ │ had imagined. It is rare that anyone doubts my occasional 'white lie.' │ │ But I hope you'll also discern that I only meant to spare you." Hymie │ │ nodded. For some reason he did trust this woman, her open expression, │ │ her tone of voice, her willingness to admit fault, & for the same reasons,│ │ he found himself liking her. │ │ │ │ "In our work, it is necessary to touch the supplicant. We do this to draw │ │ attention to a particular chakra in order that the supplicant stimulate │ │ the area with her attention. The reason the ladies didn't work with you │ │ is that they didn't want to place their hands on you," the woman admitted │ │ quietly. "They found your physique beyond their capacity to control their │ │ revulsion. I...I hope I haven't offended you too much." │ │ │ │ The Krausmeyer nodded sadly. Yes the woman's explanation rang with truth; │ │ he'd had such experiences throughout his life & could envision the disgust│ │ he'd engendered in the pretty young ladies. He pressed his lips firmly │ │ together, to contain his own self-revulsion, & batted the moisture from │ │ his eyes with a series of quick blinks. When he'd regained control, he │ │ started to leave; but the woman stopped him with her words. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Team Eeeek: Hymie Krausmeyer: The UnAnointed Page 36 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ "I have some idea of rejection," she told him. "The only reason I'm │ │ tolerated as a Servant is that when I was a child, it was foretold that I │ │ would live to see the Coming of the Master. The young ones keep me around│ │ in hopes that they'll be present if the prophecy comes true. Other than │ │ that, I'm not of much use to anybody." Hymie peered into the woman's eyes│ │ - and found understanding. "I'm a good healer," the woman whispered. │ │ "Please... It would be my honor to be your Servant." │ │ │ │ The gangly, unattractive old woman held out her hands. Into them slipped │ │ the Krausmeyer. While the misshapened fingers probed the little man's │ │ skull, the 7 beautiful "Servants" filed in the room. "You're not TOUCHING │ │ him, are you?" one of them hissed. Another said, "We must remain clean! │ │ For the UnAnointed! Even one as...one who has contributed as much as you │ │ should attempt to remain undefiled!" │ │ │ │ "Undefiled?" the old woman echoed.

Besides, │ │ Chris reasoned, how would she know anyway. │ │ │ │ Joyce knew, she knew Chris would think about doing just such a thing. │ │ But she knew she could curb that thought with a simple ultimatum being │ │ given. She wasn't certain it would stop Chris but it would make her │ │ think twice before taking off and going back to that house. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 54 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ "If you try to go back without my knowing it," Joyce said quietly to │ │ Chris, "I'll find out. You know I always find out! And you'll be │ │ grounded for six months." Joyce didn't expand any further upon what she │ │ was saying, she knew she didn't have to. │ │ │ │ Once they got back home, the rest of the evening turned into a party │ │ more than anything else. The next morning Joyce called the local │ │ psychic institute and spoke to someone in charge there. She scheduled │ │ an appointment for that afternoon for her and Christine. │ │ │ │ Joyce and Christine entered the office of Dr. Martha Franks. Dr. │ │ Franks asked them to explain what they had experienced and what they │ │ felt was going on in the house. She was acquainted with the old house. │ │ Though she had never actually been in the old house. │ │ │ │ "Do you have any ownership rights to this place?" Dr. Franks asked │ │ Joyce. │ │ │ │ "No, but my daughter and her friends just wondered in there one day and │ │ had all these things begin happening to them. I don't think anyone │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 55 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ owns the place, per si, it was given to the city about five or so years │ │ ago. But the city hasn't done anything with it. The historical │ │ society wanted to have a declared a historical monument but never │ │ pursued it any further because of the hauntings. That's about all I │ │ really know. Oh, yeah, I also know the stories, but have no proof of │ │ any of it, that a newly wed couple moved into the place and within │ │ three or four days after their wedding the man killed the woman. The │ │ story goes that the man was a cop. I understand that he committed │ │ suicide after killing his new wife; but I don't know if any of that is │ │ really true." │ │ │ │ "I've seen her," Christine broke in, "I've seen the woman the guy │ │ killed. I know it is true. But I'm not sure he committed suicide or │ │ not." │ │ │ │ "Ok, now let me tell you the real story. The house was owned by the │ │ young woman who married the police officer." Dr. Franks told Joyce and │ │ Christine. "The police officer was suspected of killing his wife of │ │ three days but he was never convicted of the crime. He did not commit │ │ suicide, though the story went out that he had. The truth is, he is │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 56 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ alive and he is still working for the police force." │ │ │ │ "I don't understand," Christine questioned Dr. Franks, "what do you │ │ mean he was suspected of killing his wife but was never convicted?" │ │ │ │ "They couldn't get enough evidence to prove he had done the crime. He │ │ denied having done it. He said someone had to have broken into the │ │ house and killed her." │ │ │ │ "But I saw him," Christine interrupted again. "I saw him in his police │ │ uniform and he killed her. I watched him do it. I screamed at him to │ │ stop but he didn't." │ │ │ │ "I think we should get a team together and go in there and investigate │ │ things. Find out what really happened and if the police officer did │ │ kill her, try to bring him to trial. Set things right, so to speak." │ │ │ │ "This is what we need to do," Joyce responded, "the one thing the woman │ │ asked us to do was get the truth out. She would be released if the │ │ truth came out." │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 57 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ "Alright then, we will get a team together as soon as possible and go │ │ back into the house and see if we can get to the truth," Dr. Franks │ │ said with conviction. "I'll find out who owns it, get permission to be │ │ in there from the owner and then we'll do it. Until then, I suggest │ │ you stay clear of the house for the time being and I will call you as │ │ soon as I have the date scheduled." │ │ │ │ "That's agreeable to us," Joyce told her. │ │ │ │ The next two days went by slowly. Joyce was very concerned that │ │ Christine would become impatient and go back to the house. Christine, │ │ on the other hand, was becoming overly anxious about going back to the │ │ house. She was convinced she could solve all the problems of the │ │ woman. │ │ │ │ Finally Dr. Franks called. The team was set, the investigation would │ │ begin the next evening. │ │ │ │ That night both Joyce and Christine were so excited about it all that │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 58 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ neither slept very well. Each kept bumping into one another walking │ │ into the kitchen or to the bathroom several times that night. Finally │ │ they both just gave in and went to the kitchen to have some hot cocoa. │ │ │ │ "Maybe this will help us both sleep," Joyce said as she poured the hot │ │ chocolate into a cup and handed it to Chris. │ │ │ │ "Mom, what do you think will happen tomorrow night?" Chris sipped from │ │ her cup as she asked the question. │ │ │ │ "Hopefully everything will come out and the truth can be told. Then │ │ the lady in white can be at peace." │ │ │ │ "I hope so," Christine said, "she shouldn't be tied to that house │ │ simply because some jerk killed her." │ │ │ │ "I know," Joyce said soothingly to her, "we'll try to bring out the │ │ truth. That's the best we can do." │ │ │ │ They both finished their cocoa and went back to bed, hoping to sleep. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 59 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ │ │ They both finally did get sleep for a time and the morning came very │ │ quickly. They both just sort of dragged through the day, which seemed │ │ to go on forever. Evening came, Joyce and Christine went to the house │ │ to meet the investigative crew. │ │ │ │ Once they arrived Dr. Franks introduced Joyce and Chris to everyone in │ │ the group. The psychic, Ann Murphy, asked Chris were she first saw the │ │ woman. Chris led her upstairs to the bedroom were she had first seen │ │ the lady in white. The psychic went into the room, while the others of │ │ the investigation team followed behind her. One of the members of the │ │ team held a camrecorder and videotaped the entire event. Christine │ │ walked into the room and stood right beside the psychic. │ │ │ │ "Some one is here now," Ann told them, "it is a woman. She is weeping. │ │ She says we need to know the truth." │ │ │ │ Before Ann could finish, Christine's face changed right before the │ │ entire teams eyes. She was clearly being taken over by the woman in │ │ white once again. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 60 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ "I am Fran, my husband is Charles.

His fingers wrap around my throat and they get tighter and │ │ tighter. The whole time he is screaming at me, yelling at me to tell │ │ him the truth. I try to speak, but I can't. Words won't come out of │ │ my mouth. I have no air, I can't breathe. Things are starting to go │ │ dark.

He then crumbles up the note, as if │ │ he had found it and lets it drop out of his hand. He calls someone, │ │ and suddenly the house if filled with police officers and men in white │ │ coats, the coroner I think. The police say I committed suicide, but I │ │ didn't. I was murdered and Charles Parson is the one who killed me. │ │ Make his confess. He must confess to set me free." │ │ │ │ With that, Christine collapsed to the floor. She was not conscious. │ │ Ann assured Joyce, who had rushed to her daughter, that this was a │ │ normal reaction for a medium after being a channel. │ │ │ │ The next plan of action was to take the videotape and make a copy of it. │ │ Once having done so, Dr. Franks, Christine and Joyce went to pay a │ │ visit to Mr. Charles Parson. They asked him to view the tape and then │ │ they would discuss what really happened. Parson's watched the tape │ │ carefully and began to cry as the story unfolded in front of him. │ │ Christine's voice clearly changed in the tape and Parson's identified │ │ it as his dead wife's voice. Parson's excused himself and moments │ │ later a shot rang out in another part of the house. Dr. Franks rushed │ │ into the room to find Parson's body laying on the bed with a gun in his │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Hide And Seek By: J.L.Black Page 62 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ hand. A note lay beside his body, it was simple and to the point, "I │ │ killed my wife and fabricated the evidence to make it look as though │ │ she had committed suicide. Now I take my life for I can hide it no │ │ longer," the note was signed by Parson. Dr. Franks reached for the │ │ phone on the table near the bed and called the police. The three of │ │ them waited for the police to arrive, showed them the tape and told │ │ them what happened after Parson's had viewed it. Once the police had │ │ finished questioning them, they were free to go. │ │ │ │ Dr. Franks, Joyce and Christine went back to the old house. Christine │ │ was excited, she wanted to release Fran so badly from her ghostly jail. │ │ "He told the truth Fran, Charles told the truth," Christine announced │ │ as they entered the room. │ │ │ │ "I know, he is here with me," came back a whispering voice and all knew │ │ it was that of Fran's. "I am free, as is he for the first time in │ │ years. Thank you, thank you all." │ │ │ │ Silence filled the house. The spirit was free, and the house was │ │ peaceful once again.

The movers │ │ had stomped in and out since early morning carrying in boxes, furniture, │ │ tools and a piano. The lady of the house, Anne, not her real name, settles│ │ down on the sofa next to her husband. She sips from the cup, her third │ │ cup of coffee for the day.

At the top of the stairs, on the second floor, comes a │ │ loud banging sound, like a box of glassware has fallen and crashed to the │ │ floor. They look at one another, thoroughly perplexed by what they have │ │ heard, since both knew no glassware was on the second floor. │ │ Bill gets up to check, making certain no one else is in the house. Satis- │ │ fied that no one is on the first floor he starts up the stairs to the sec- │ │ ond floor. He expects to find a mess from the box falling. But instead │ │ he finds nothing out of place.

The more they wish to change the more │ │ noises they hear from the third floor. Bill, each time, gets up to check, │ │ and each time finds nothing. │ │ This was the way it began for them. The house is an old three story │ │ Victorian home on the east coast in Boston. The exact location can not be │ │ told since the owners wish to remain anonymous. The report given by the │ │ couple began just as stated. But the real trouble began when they decided │ │ to open up the two bedrooms on the third floor, making them into one large │ │ room. They wanted a study/craft room so they might pursue their hobbies. │ │ The bath on the third floor was upgraded with more modern equipment and │ │ they also placed a day bed in the room for overnight guests. │ │ The second floor had four bedrooms, two of which, at this point, were being│ │ used only as storage rooms. One they had as a guest room and third was │ │ the master bedroom. They had plans for this one as well. They intended │ │ opening the master bedroom into the second bedroom, making it larger and │ │ redoing the bathroom so they could have a double vanity and jacuzzi in the │ │ master bath, as well as an area for a sitting room. The remaining two │ │ bedroom would end up being the rooms for the children they planned on hav- │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Strrrrrrrange BITS!

Anne pulled the bottom section of the day │ │ bed out, making it into a double bed, and gave them that area for their │ │ visit. The first night of their visit was rather peaceful, except for the │ │ occasional bang and bomb of what sounded like someone pounding on the │ │ walls with a hammer. When Bill's brother got up the next morning he made │ │ the comment to Bill that he must have been up late working. But Bill told │ │ his brother he had not been. Bill asked Bob what it was he heard and then │ │ told Bob that he had not been up working, that he and Anne had gone to bed │ │ at the same time Bob and Joyce had. │ │ The second night was not as peaceful nor as calm. Bill and Anne were also │ │ awakened by the loud bangs. When they heard them they rushed up the stairs│ │ to the third floor room and found Bob and his wife huddled together on the │ │ day bed. Bill and Anne quickly moved over to Bob and Joyce. The four of │ │ them now were on the day bed. The sounds being made were almost deafening.│ │ Then it happened. In the corner of the room, across from them they could │ │ see clearly a man. He was fully luminous. Bill noted he could see direct-│ │ ly through him to the wall. The man looked angry and he was shaking his │ │ fist at them. │ │ Bill and Anne never had discussed the possibility of a ghost. Neither had │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Strrrrrrrange BITS!

But when the four of them made their│ │ way out of the third floor room to the kitchen they all sat discussing what│ │ they had seen. Bill and Anne resolved to bring a psychic in to find out │ │ how to get rid of this man. │ │ The psychic came in with a crew of investigators. Bill had contacted a │ │ university in New York and had to wait for nearly a month. During that │ │ time Bill and Anne stayed clear of the third floor. │ │ The report on the investigation state that the spirit was upset with the │ │ remodeling of the house. It was his house and insisted that it be left │ │ alone. The psychic discussed the situation with the spirit and reportedly │ │ they came to some form of resolution to solve the problem of the current │ │ owners ideas and the former owners ideas about the house. │ │ After this, according to Bill and Anne, the spirit has been seen periodi- │ │ cally in the third floor room, but has not been disruptive in any manner. │ │ The history of the house is that it was built sometime in the 1880s. The │ │ original owners lived there throughout their lifetime, passing it on to the│ │ children that remained behind. There have been several people to live │ │ in the house since then, as it was rented out on a frequent bases. The │ │ report of the investigation indicates that the spirit living there is that │ │ of the original builder and owner. │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ █▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█ │ │ ▀█▀▀▀▀▀▀█ The W-Eeeek-ly News (tm) Review █▀▀▀▀▀▀█▀ │ │ ▀▄ █ (c) 1993 Eeeek Publishing Co.

CDC's new definition adds pulmonary │ │ tuberculosis, recurrent bacterial pneumonia, and invasive cervical cancer │ │ -- diseases common among women -- to the list of AIDS-defining │ │ infections. It also allows an AIDS diagnoses based on a drop in the │ │ level of the body's master immune cells, or T-cells, to 200 cells per │ │ milliliter. It is estimated that as many as 190,000 Americans with HIV │ │ have T-cell counts below 200, but most remain undiagnosed as having AIDS. │ │ "We are optimistic that this new policy will improve the accuracy of HIV │ │ surveillance, relieve some of the effects of past under-reporting, and │ │ increase the likelihood that HIV positive women and men will qualify for │ │ the program entitlement and other benefits necessary for their health │ │ care," Johnson said. In a Nov. 12, 1992, letter to the CDC commenting on │ │ the proposed changes, Planned Parenthood warned that women are the │ │ fastest growing group of people with HIV and urged the CDC to broaden the │ │ AIDS definition further by adding other conditions common to women with │ │ HIV to the list of defining infections. │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Panasonic's Parent To Pay U.S. $1.8 Million Page 81 │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Department of Justice │ │ announced today that Matsushita Electric Corp. of America (MECA) will pay │ │ the United States $1.8 million to settle claims that Panasonic │ │ Communications & Systems Co., an unincorporated division of MECA, │ │ overcharged the government for the purchase of Panasonic typewriters and │ │ copiers by failing to disclose certain pricing data in negotiating the │ │ contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA). Assistant │ │ Attorney General Stuart M.

Under the Truth │ │ in Negotiations Act, Panasonic was required, during the negotiations, to │ │ provide the government with its most current, accurate, and complete │ │ data. By depriving the government of this accurate and complete discount │ │ pricing data, Panasonic obtained an inflated price for its products.

The Endangered Species Act requires all │ │ federal agencies to consult with FWS on any agency action that may affect │ │ an endangered or threatened species.

The data was │ │ compiled by the FBI pursuant to the Hate Crime Satistics Act (HCSA), │ │ passed by Congress in 1990. "The data released today is an important │ │ step forward in improving the national response to the problem of hate │ │ violence," said Melvin Salberg, ADL's national chairman, and Abraham H. │ │ Foxman, ADL's national director. "While we can be quite certain that │ │ more than 4,558 hate crime incidents occurred in 1991, these first │ │ statistics -- and the fact that more than 2,700 law enforcement agencies │ │ across the country participated in the collection effort -- reflect well │ │ on the FBI's initial outreach and education efforts." Since the passage │ │ of the HCSA, ADL has served as a principal resource for the FBI and other │ │ law enforcement agencies in implementing the act. ADL and other groups │ │ with expertise in analyzing and responding to hate crimes have │ │ participated in a number of training seminars for state and local law │ │ enforcement authorities on how to identify, report, and respond to hate │ │ crimes. │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ (c)1993 Eeeek Publishing Company -Taghadossi/Black.
