Scotland's Paranormal
In the first hour, researcher and author Malcolm Robinson discussed paranormal cases from Scotland. Robinson said his interest in the strange and mysterious began when he was a young boy, but he later set out to disprove such phenomena were real. After years of investigating, Robinson concluded that "most, if not all, of the cases [he has] researched do have a paranormal origin."
Robinson shared details from one of Scotland's most famous poltergeist cases. The bizarre events were connected to a young girl, Virginia Campbell, who in 1961 grudgingly moved with her family from Ireland to Sauchie, Scotland. Soon after, a series of bizarre events unfolded, including inexplicable knockings on the walls and bed, burning smells, moving pillows, and levitating desks. Robinson also spoke briefly about different interpretations of ghosts, his own paranormal experiences, and the time he explored Loch Ness in a submarine.

Transporting dangerous substances and microbes is one of many possible applications for new technology. More at Mail Online.
