Natalie's Paranormal Beliefs Blog Entry 2

I will be writing my essay paper on Nostradamus. I have viewed five websites to locate research for my essay. I hope some of you find these websites hopeful as well.

The first website I viewed was: http://paranormal.about.com/ - About.com
Founded in 1996, About.com was acquired in March 2005 by The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT).

I found this website to be helpful , it allowed me to view multiple Prophets and Prophecies and research their backgrounds which lead me to want to research Nostradamus even more.

The second website was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranormal - Wikipedia® is a registered trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc., a U.S. registered 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit charity.

I really enjoyed this site, it allowed me to venture through a huge variety of paranormal topics. I found the The Belief Poll very interesting. This was very helpful in writing my paper.

The third site was: http://www.nostradamus.org/ - This site gave a very good Biography, but noting more.

The fourth site was: http://paranormal.about.com/library/blstory_december03_18.htm

I chose this site to view because of it's title; Heaven's Gates a story written by by Gene P.
I was not able to use this site for my paper, but i did enjoy the story.

And finally, the fifth site was: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2843/is_2_28/ai_114090206 - BNET © 2008 CNET Networks, Inc., a CBS Company. Skeptical Inquirer, March-April, 2004 by Taner Edis

Because I am skeptical of the paranormal, I really enjoyed this article. If you get a chance whether you are skeptical or not, take a look at this; it's a great read!

In all, all the sites were useful in writing my paper.
