This website contains a large collection of articles about the “occult”. From the main index page, I gathered that this word covers a very broad range of topics, including alchemy, astrology, demons, angels, lost worlds, magic, voodoo, witchcraft, myths, pseudoscience, religious mysteries, secret societies, UFOs, extraterrestrials, and superstitions. Perhaps the best general adjectives for all of this would be “mysterious” and “unexplained”.
The Religious Mysteries section contains articles about such subjects as the Devil, demonic possession, speaking in tongues, reincarnation, stigmata, the Shroud of Turin, Jesus, religious relics, and faith healing. From the stigmata article, I learned that blood can somehow slowly ooze from stigmata even though there are no visible breaks in the skin. The article on demonic possession says that the voice and facial expression of a possessed person can change during periods when the demon has overt control of the body. There is also a possibility that several demons can possess the same individual simultaneously, causing behavior similar to that of someone afflicted with multiple personality condition.
This very large website also includes an art gallery, a shop, a very extensive bibliography, and a long list of links to other sites.
