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!

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:
