Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 4, 2008 - 1:13pm.

Los Angeles - Steven Spielberg is working on a social network that will connect people who have had paranormal or extraterrestrial experiences, or who are interested in sharing such information, TechCrunch reported. The report goes on to chronicle Spielberg's connections with the subject, including films ("E.T.," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Poltergeist") and anecdotes about more personal experiences. Sources told TechCrunch that the project, initially but no longer associated with Yahoo, is currently in development by a team in Los Angeles and is slated to launch in the coming months.

Have to be a social network?

I think it is a good idea but do we really need another social network? Not trying to spam and apologize in advance however I have been using a paranormal quasi-social network site that is more open and has a more honest non-corporate feel to it. This site is a completely open format and the users determine all content on the site! Feels kind of like Craigslist and that is boring but I really don’t want to use corporate sites anymore seeing how they are part of the pro net neutrality crowd! Make sure to check out the Cashmere Ghost pic (or something like that) it is amazing and may show that ghosts are real! http://www.oddbase.org or oddbase dot org
