bullet ENTITY Update!
Psychics called to schedule a visit October 21, 2005. They are very concerned about the situation as, apparently, the recent lunar eclipse has widened the portal.

bullet ENTITY Update!
Psychics we have consulted tell us that somehow a "rift" has been created and that hundreds of entities are using this as a portal. (Certainly looks like lots to me! Especially in the dining room shot.) ... Further investigations are underway and more photographs are coming soon!
