The Haunted - a new tv show to scare my pants off!!

The Haunted is something truly different. I love the layout of the show...it gives the story straight from those who lived the hauntings (truly scary ones, by the way) and has the added element of the animal's perspective...very good and scary!

It is on Animal Planet...check it out!!

a Ghost Box

This is something entirely new to me...I've never heard of a Ghost Box before, but evidently you can make your own with a simple AM/FM radio. The idea is that Ghost voices are on a kind of "between the AM radio channels" frequency that we can't hear. So, if you were to go up and down the AM radio channels on the tuning button (up and down and up and down over and over again) this would be how you could hear the ghosts near you talking. I know it sounds crazy, doesn't it?! Making a Ghost Box means that the you fix the radio so the channels go up and down and up and down by itself.
I've seen some very convincing videos, though, and I would be tempted to make a ghost box, myself...sort of tempted. But because I think it is probably going to work, that makes me "deliciously scared", honestly.

Here is how to make one.

Here is a video showing one being used - not my favorite for the EVPs, though they are pretty good still, though subtle...mostly I put this on so you could see how the ghost box works:

100 Feet - A gooood ghost story

I'm a new fan of Famke Janssen...apparently she has been on plenty of movies, so will have to look her up...she played a really tough cookie (New York Italian type) in this movie, and boy she did a great job.

I LOVED the small space that the movie was set. It was all in one of those New York Brownstones...very creepy long stairways that are dark and creaky...

The ghost was scaaaaary, and in fact, there was a couple of times that I said out loud, "What the hell iiiiiiis that?!" and I was by myself in the middle of the afternoon.

I thought there was a scene that I thought was strangely bloody/overdone, compared to the rest of the movie, but otherwise I was still hiding under the blanket and saying, "Holy Crap...holy craaaaap."

I'd totally recommend it to anyone who loves a good ghost story...the ghost wasn't done like you've ever seen before, and I loved it for that...a totally new kind of ghost look that was creeeepy.

Spooky Oregon

This is a new book I just picked up! All the stories inside this book, I've read before - HOWEVER, the author (S.E. Schlosser) has actually taken the same old Oregon ghost stories and wrote them in a way so that you could actually sit around a campfire and read these! I love that. And the illustrations are so beautifully done. They are all woodcuts!

Yikes...

I'd love to see this movie -ooooooo....

Ghost Hunters

This is one of my favorites. I LOVE the way they are all about debunking a ghost, and that they only really find a ghost maybe one time in six. That makes the haunting seem so much more believable. You can check them out here:
