One of the most controversial fights in boxing history. Ali v Liston – 25th May 1965 Around about a minute into the bout Ali connecting with a quick, chopping right to Liston’s head as Liston was moving toward him. The moment ultimately ended the fight and became known as “the phantom punch” as most people ringside did not see it. Many claim that Liston had bet against himself and that he took a dive because as he owed money to the mafia, and some believe that fears for his safety from Nation of Islam extremists forced him to get the hell out of the entire situation quickly.
The Phantom Horsewoman. by Thomas Hardy Queer are the ways of a man I know: / He comes and stands / In a careworn craze, / And looks at the sands / And in the seaward haze / With moveless hands / And face and gaze, / Then turns to go… / And what does he see when he gazes so? They say he sees as an instant thing / More clear than today, / A sweet soft scene / That once was in play / By that briny green; / Yes, notes alway / Warm, real, and keen, / What his back years bring- / A phantom of his own figuring. Of this vision of his they might say more: / Not only there / Does he see this sight, / But everywhere / In his brain-day, night, / As if on the air / It were drawn rose bright- / Yea, far from that shore / Does he carry this vision of heretofore: A ghost-girl-rider. And though, toil-tried, / He withers daily, / Time touches her not, / But she still rides gaily / In his rapt thought / On that shagged and shaly / Atlantic spot, / And as when first eyed / Draws rein and sings to the swing of the tide.

In modern English, the term ghost ship has come to stand for at least one of three separate definitions, all of which involving unexplained circumstances. Historically, the term has been used to refer to reported sightings of apparitions over water that have appeared in the form of maritime sailing ships, often after having previously been known to have sunk, or to derelict vessels found floating with no crew. In fiction, ghost ships have often been vessels crewed by some manner of spectral beings. Full Moons are traditionally associated with temporal insomnia, insanity and various magical phenomena such as lycanthropy. Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon. They find that studies are generally not consistent, with some showing a positive effect and others showing a negative effect (hence the terms lunacy and lunatic) Many neopagans hold a monthly ritual called an Esbat at each full moon, while some people practicing traditional Chinese religions prepare their ritual offerings to their ancestors and deities on every full and new moon
By far the most famous fictional ghost ship is The Flying Dutchman. The ship has become synonymous with the phenomenon so that “Flying Dutchman” is often used as a generic term for any apparition-type ghost ship. The term may also refer to a real ship that was reported to be seen – often as an apparition – after sinking, or to a ship found floating with no crewmembers on board. According to folklore, the Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship that can never go home, but must sail “the seven seas” forever. The Flying Dutchman is usually spotted from afar, sometimes glowing with ghostly light. If she is hailed by another ship, her crew will often try to send messages to land, to people long since dead. / Versions of the story are numerous. According to some, the story is originally Dutch, while others claim it is based on the English play The Flying Dutchman (1826) by Edward Fitzball and the novel The Phantom Ship (1837) by Frederick Marryat, later adapted into the Dutch story Het Vliegend Schip (The Flying Ship) by the Dutch clergyman A.H.C. Römer. Other versions include the opera by Richard Wagner (1841) and The Flying Dutchman on Tappan Sea by Washington Irving (1855).
Mindscape is a mental or psychological scene or area of the imagination. The word is most suitable to the filed of psychology. Mindscape has two words combined in such a way that the meaning goes beyond it – Mind and Escape… It can be translated as a Mind that wants to escape or a Mind that is in route of escaping. This adventure can be in the sense of reality or in spiritual world. / Depression sufferers escape from facts, hallucinates escape from reality, psychotics and neurotics escape from many other forms of life. We usually state that they are people who require help so that they can live an ordinary life. But who is to decide what is normal and what is abnormal? If ones can see the other side of horizon, according to them they deem the facts strongly that they hold about life, oneself and reality. They believe they are the right ones who are amongst wrong people. Are you one of them? I tend to assume we all are, one way or another.

A spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadow / Not the regal creature of border caves / But the poor, misguided directionless / Familiar of some obscure scottish poet The mist crawls from the canal / Like some primordial phantom of romance / To curl, under a cascade of neon pollen / While i sit tied to the phone like an expectant father / Your carnation will rot in a vase from Bitter Suite.
