Extreme Paranormal

I have to admit. I was going to watch and review the show, but I’m feeling a bit burned out on paranormal TV at the moment. So, I opted for CSI: Miami instead. This won’t be me giving you a thumbs up or down because it wouldn’t be fair. However, I did switch back during commercials and see pieces of Extreme Paranormal.

They conducted two investigations. The first was at New Mexico State Penitentiary. This was the site of one of the most horrible prison riots in history. Thirty-three prisoners died from either being hacked to death, burned alive and/or tortured. After this tragedy, the prison closed. The second investigation took place at Bonito Lake. Bonito City use to stand where the lake is now. A murderer named Martin Nelson killed seven people before being gunned down by a posse. The city was eventually abandoned and then it flooded creating Bonito Lake. It’s believed Martin Nelson haunts the lake now.

From the little I saw, I think this one may get pulled from the air some point, but I could be wrong. It seemed the only thing extreme about it came from the three investigators Shaun Burris, Nathan Schoonover and Jason Gowin reactions to alleged paranormal activity.

There is a bit of news concerning Halloween live shows. It seems Ghost Hunters has bailed out of their usual. For the past few years, they have conducted live investigations of a haunted location. They’re not doing that this year. Instead they will have like a live Q&A or something like that along with a marathon of viewers favorite past episodes. Sounds like to me, controversy over last years live show may have got the better of them. But don’t worry, Ghost Adventures is picking up the tabbed. The GA crew will be having a live investigation of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum on October 30th. They’ll also have the fan interactions with chat, texting and all that.

Personally, I like Ghost Hunters but there are just so many times I can watch the re-runs before I’m bored. I think them sitting this one out is not a good idea, but I’m sure they have their reasons. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

UPDATE: There's been a lot of confusion over the Ghost Hunters live event. From what I understand so far, there will be a live investigation. However, Jason and Grant may not be apart of it. Jason and Grant have tweeted they will be home spending Halloween with their families. I saw a tweet from Grant today confirming the panic button and live webcams. That leads me to believe there will be a live investigation with or without them.

Ghost Hunters, whoever is planning on being present, and Ghost Hunters Academy recruits will investigate Essex County Hospital. Josh Gates is returning as host. Not sure if any celebrities will be joining. I think I read somewhere Meatloaf may be making another appearance. I don't know. The GH marathon begins at 8 am Central and the live investigation starts at 6pm Central. If, indeed, Jason and Grant are sitting this one out, here's hoping it will still be a good night.

Black Aggie

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Horror Day. Later on tonight, you will have a chance to win 1,000 BlogMad credits. Keep checking for that. Now on to tonight's first story. Henry Adams hired American sculpture Augustus St. Gaudens to construct a memorial for his beloved wife, Marian "Clover" Adams who committed suicide after the death of her father. After four years, the piece was finished in 1891. It was never officially named, but it was mostly known as the "Adams Memorial" and later "Grief". Stories vary as to how it received that nickname. The statue was so fascinating that a sculpture named Eduard L.A. Pausch copied it. The statue would go to be named "Black Aggie". General Felix Agnus purchased the copy in 1905 to place at his family's tomb. Then had a monument and pedestal created that would closely match the setting of the Adams Memorial in Washington. No one knows exactly why he chose this statue. A year later,

Edna Collings Bridge

Edna Collings Bridge also known as Edna Collins Bridge was built in 1922 over Little Walnut Creek. It was the last covered bridge built in Putnam County, Indiana replacing a concrete bridge washed out in high waters. And it's believed to be haunted. The most common story is Edna Collins was a little girl who went swimming in Little Walnut Creek often as she lived nearby. Her parents would drop her off on their way to town. When they returned, they would honk the horn three times to let her know it was time to leave. One day, her parents followed their usual routine except this time Edna failed to respond. Upon searching the creek, she was found dead (allegedly by her father), having drown. Circumstances concerning her death unknown. Variations of this story has her mother following her in death. Grieving over lost of her child, her mother placed a noose around her neck and hung herself. Another piece has her father being the one who built the bridge and named it after his daugh

Lorelei Inn

In Green Bay, Wisconsin and looking for some good German food? Lorelei Inn may be the place for you. Built in 1926, this restaurant was named after a woman in Germanic folklore named Lorelei. She falsely accused of bewitching men but was soon pardoned. Unfortunately her victory would be short lived. She climbed a rock looking for her unfaithful lover, slipped and fell to her death. Lorelei Inn has only been owned by two families and doesn't have a seedy past. However, it is believed to be haunted by several spirits. Footsteps have been heard in the upstairs area. One of the spirits believed to haunting this restaurant is a former owner named Leonard Hack. He supposedly hangs out at his once favorite place, the bar. Many have felt his presence there as well as smelled cigarette smoke. He is also believed to visit the basement area where the office is located. Objects move around on their own, sometimes pots fall off hooks. The TV turns on by itself. There's also a haunted ta
