EXCLUSIVE I'm living proof you CAN speak to dead loved ones. All you need is dark room and a mirror: DR RAYMOND MOODY
The desire to communicate with dead loved ones - to apologize, to say 'I love you' or simply to hear their voice one last time - is both powerful and universal.
But such encounters generally feature only in movies like Ghost and Truly, Madly, Deeply, or in the empty promises of charlatans preying on the bereaved.

Legendary 80s sex symbol is unrecognizable as she embraces new look while out in LA... can you guess who she is?
This 80s star rose to fame on a popular television series that established her as a sex symbol. While out in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the actress, now 71, showed off a new look that was far removed from her days of wearing barely there denim shorts. The former pin-up girl opted for skinny jeans that showcased her curves, a tight black T-shirt beneath a brown suede jacket, and added a bit of comfort by wearing fuzzy slide sandals. Her long, light brown hair was parted in the center and styled in long, loose layers. The beauty — who was born in Ohio — wore natural looking makeup and accessorized with thin dangling earrings. She carried a quilted Chanel purse and a black-and-brown patterned scarf. Can you guess who she is? That's right! It's Dukes Of Hazzard star Catherine Bach, who made the iconic Daisy Duke shorts made famous via the popular 1980s action show. It's been said that Bach wowed Dukes Of Hazzard directors so much during her audition that she was hired on the spot to play Daisy Duke, even though they were reportedly looking for a Dolly Parton–type. The role earned her massive stardom, and a poster of her posing as Daisy sold five million copies after its release. The bombshell star made headlines during her time in the show, after it was revealed that she had insured her legs for $1 million. Since her heyday in The Dukes of Hazzard, Bach has remained a working actress in parts large and small. The Young and the Restless actress starred with Hollywood legend Robert Mitchum in the drama African Skies, which aired for two seasons on The Family Channel from 1992–1994. The series focused on a Black family and a white family in the days after apartheid ended in South Africa. She starred on the daytime drama The Young and the Restless for seven years as Anita Lawson. Bach, born Catherine Bachman, is the mother of two daughters. The former pin-up girl showcased her curves in a tight black T-shirt beneath a brown suede jacket, blue jeans, and added a bit of comfort stepping out in fuzzy slide sandals Bach wore natural looking makeup and accessorized with a quilted Chanel purse and a black and brown patterned scarf Laura, 26, is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, and Sophia, 29, is a digital creator in Toronto. She shared both girls with her late husband, entertainment attorney Peter Lopez, whom she married in 1990. Bach and Lopez found the group C.O.A.C.H. For Kids which provides free medical services for children and their families in the low-income areas of Los Angeles with use of mobile medical clinics.

Trump's new head of FEMA makes startling revelation as Hurricane season approaches
Donald Trump 's new head of th e beleaguered Federal Emergency Management Agency told staff he was not aware that the United States had a 'hurricane season.' David Richardson, who has been in charge of FEMA since early May, made the astounding revelation during a briefing recently, four sources with knowledge of the situation told Reuters. The context behind his remarks - and whether he meant them to be a joke - was not immediately clear. But a spokesperson for FEMA's parent agency, Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security, maintained the comments were a joke and not to be taken literally. 'FEMA is shifting from bloated, DC-centric dead weight to a lean, deployable disaster force that empowers state actors to provide relief for their citizens,' the spokesperson said. The Homeland Security rep added that FEMA is prepared for hurricane season, which officially kicked off on Sunday and lasts through November. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast last week that this year's season is expected to bring as many as 10 hurricanes. Richardson said during the briefing that there would be no changes to the agency's disaster response plans despite having told staff to expect a new plan in May. The disaster agency has come under immense scrutiny from Trump who wants to see it shrunk or even eliminated. Trump has repeatedly argued states could take on many of FEMA's functions as part of a wider effort to downsize the federal government. About 2,000 full-time FEMA staff, one-third of its total, have been terminated or voluntarily left the agency since the start of the Trump administration in January. Richardson, who has no disaster response experience, was appointed as head of FEMA last month after his predecessor, Cameron Hamilton, was abruptly fired. Hamilton had publicly broken with Trump over the future of the agency, but sources said Trump allies had already been maneuvering to oust him because they were unhappy with what they saw as Hamilton's slow-moving effort to restructure FEMA. Before joining FEMA, Richardson was assistant secretary at DHS' office for countering weapons of mass destruction, which he will reportedly continue to lead. While Noem had previously aligned herself with Trump's vision to eliminate FEMA, last month she approved a request from Richardson to retain 2,600 short-term disaster response and recovery employees. These employees had contracts due to expire this year, but they will now be kept on through this hurricane season. In 2024, four separate hurricanes killed at least 370 Americans during hurricane season. The most deadly was Hurricane Helene, which tore through Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and the Carolinas in late September and killed 241 people. Hurricane Milton came shortly after and was expected to be even worse than Helene, but locals who were still picking up the pieces avoided the catastrophic damage which was expected. Still, 44 people across Florida died in Milton. Hurricane Beryl killed at least 40 people in Texas, while nine people in South Carolina and Florida died in Hurricane Debby. Experts are alarmed over the large-scale staff reductions, travel and training restrictions and grant cut-offs since Trump took office at both FEMA, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which tracks and forecasts weather events. 'My nightmare is a major catastrophic storm hitting an area that is reeling from the impact of all of this nonsense from the Trump administration and people will die,' Susan Cutter, the director of the Hazards and Vulnerability Research Institute at the University of South Carolina, said.

Orioles reinstate OF Colton Cowser after thumb fracture
June 3 - The Baltimore Orioles reinstated outfielder Colton Cowser from the 60-day injured list during Monday's off day, while utility man Cooper Hummel was designated for assignment. Cowser, 25, played in just four games this season before he fractured his left thumb diving into first base. He opened the season 2-for-16 with a home run. During a breakout rookie season in 2024, the left-handed hitter delivered 24 home runs with 69 RBIs in 153 games with a .242 batting average and a .768 OPS. He finished second in American League Rookie of the Year voting. Hummel, 30, was signed as a free agent by the Orioles in 2025 and had just one at-bat. He played 10 games at Triple-A in the New York Yankees' organization earlier this season. In 83 major league games over parts of four seasons with four different clubs, Hummel is a career .159 hitter with three home runs and 17 RBIs. --Field Level Media
