Steven Spielberg is taking his fixation with aliens and ghosts to a whole new level of mania. The mega-director is creating a new social networking site called "The Rising." The site will be dedicated to those who have had paranormal experiences, and users will be encouraged to share their own extraterrestrial encounters. According to Tech Crunch, Spielberg has already bought the domain names relating to "The Rising" and "Rising," and we should see this site up and running this summer. The Rising will also have it's own original video content that will investigate ghost and alien sightings. There will be a permanent host on hand, no word yet who. See The Rising's logo after the jump.
