Ghost Stories

New Year Celebrations T'was the day before New Years with only minutes to go. Everyone was waiting for the new year to show. There were party hats, noise makers, and lots of champaign. Good food and good music no one could complain. When suddenly the ball began to drop. Everyone in the room came to a stop. When the ball reached the bottom the crowd began to roar. And confetti dropped from ceiling to floor. Happy New Year! Happy New Year was all you could hear. 2006 was finally here. Here's hoping your new year will be festive and live. And may the fun continue until 2006. Poem and Graphics Provided By: funmunch.com

This is going to be the last post until after Christmas or New Years. I haven't decided yet. Anyways, just wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays.

Viewers complained that the Living TV show, featuring "psychic" Derek Acorah, deceived the public by claiming to find evidence of paranormal activity. But Ofcom ruled that Most Haunted was an entertainment show, not a legitimate investigation into the paranormal, and should not be taken seriously. - Courtesy of BBC News . I'm sorry, but I feel bad for anyone who actually took this show seriously. I admit I'm not an avid Most Haunted watcher but I have seen several episodes and I watched all four parts of Most Haunted Live (as well as watched a few webcams). It was pretty obvious that this show was more about entertainment value than actually conducting a scientific investigation. It takes a show like this to develop a lot of gullible people. I think some people can be easily deceived. Concerning the paranormal especially ghosts, you shouldn't accept any little evidence as truth. If you take a picture and something a little odd appears on it, don't just accept...

I'm not sure how many of you watched the webcams during the Most Haunted Live shows before and on Halloween. I tried to watch them and I felt it was a waste of time. I stumbled onto another live "Ghost Cam" website. The Oklahoma City Ghost Club is performing investigations in an Oklahoma abandoned hospital. They have six cams, an infrared cam and an investigation cam displayed on the OKCGC website for viewing. The cams refresh every 15 seconds and if that's too fast for ya, you can slow down the refresh rate. The exact location of this hospital, from what I can see, wasn't listed on the website. Even though I'm pretty sure I know where it is I won't disclose that information here for obvious reasons. They have EVPs, photos and video clips of evidence listed on their website of what they have caught so far. So sit back and enjoy the "show". *Update*: Check sidebar for link.

I've spent the last few weeks trying to find a blog template that I like and fits the content of this blog. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one. I guess this one will have to suffice for now. I appologize for any inconvenience. Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoy the new layout.

Work began in 1848 on the Hoosac Tunnel, a.k.a. "Bloody Pit" in Massachusetts and wasn't completed until 1877. The tunnel was located at Hoosac Mountain which interestingly in the Mohawk language means "forbidden". More than 200 men died from explosions, fires, tunnel collapses and once by the hand of another worker. But the murder which occurred in 1865, is what gave the tunnel it's reputation. That year, the construction crew at Hoosac Tunnel was the first to use the new explosive nitroglycerin. Three explosive experts by the names of Ned Brinkman, Billy Nash and Ringo Kelley used the nitro to continue their work on March 20, 1865. After placing a charge, they ran back to the bunker that would shield them from the blast effects but unfortunately, Brinkman and Nash never made it. Kelley set off the charge early, burying the two men alive under tons of rock. The authorities began to believe that the "accident" wasn't an accident at all when...
