Ghost Stories

I just want to remind everyone that tomorrow is the start of the new season of Ghost Hunters. I'm looking forward to seeing where they go and what they find or don't find this season. As for the forum idea, upon reviewing the results of the poll, I've decided to go ahead and set up the forum on a trial basis and just see how it goes. UPDATE: I watched the new episode tonight. It was great like most of them. I actually did a post on Waverly Hills when I first started this blog if you would like to learn some more about it.

In a Past Life... You Were: A Jittery Chief. Where You Lived: South Africa. How You Died: Killed in Battle. Who Were You In a Past Life? At least I died honorably? What are your results?

I'm sure many of you have seen the 2002 movie The Mothman Prophecies starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney. That movie was based on a real creature seen in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. The myth of the Mothman began on November 12, 1966 in West Virginia. In a local cemetery, five men were preparing a grave for burial when they spotted a "brown human being" lift off from nearby trees and flew over their heads. The men were mystified by the sighting. The unidentified creature looked more like a man with wings rather than a bird. However, those five men wouldn't be the last ones to see it. Three days later, two married couples saw it as they were driving past an abandoned TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia. They claimed to have seen two large eyes attached to something shaped like a man with big wings folded against its back. When the creature moved toward the plant door, the couples panicked and sped away. Later on, they saw the same creature on a hillsid...

Tonight, I was watching some TV, flipping through the channels trying to find something I haven't seen a hundred times already, and I stumbled up on this reality show called Scary..but True on the Fox Reality channel. I have Direct TV, BTW. I've seen an episode of this show before (can't remember when, though). Scary...but True basically has the same premise as ABC Family's Scariest Places on Earth and MTV's Fear. It contains several stories about haunted locations across the US (I think) and people, particularly teens, spend a night in that place or test out the legends. I, personally, don't really care for a lot of paranormal reality type shows because it's mostly about entertaining rather than the paranormal aspects of it. To be honest, this one didn't really impress me much either. Most of the things they heard or saw, like a light in the distance, a door slamming shut, or footsteps outside a closed door, could have easily been done by someone on the...

BlogMad is opening their doors to the public in a day or so. Of course, it'll still be in beta. The last few weeks, I've gotten a lot of traffic and interaction via BlogMad. So I definitely would recommend it to anyone. Oh, and one more thing, they are also have a double credit day. Meaning for every blog you surf, you get two credits instead of just one. It's your chance to build up your credits a bit. I posted a month or so ago about setting up guidelines for you to send pics, videos and audio clips, and your true ghost stories. I should have the submission guidelines posted sometime next week. I've also been thinking about setting up a message board for this blog. I found a free service I actually like for once. The thing is, I don't like maintaining something that hardly anyone is going to use. So, I created a poll. Let me know what you think. Free polls from Pollhost.com Want a Ghost Stories message board? Yes No I guess I don't care

I'm sure you've all seen the popular 1987 film Three Men and a Baby . but how many of you know there's supposedly a "ghost" in the film? Where you ask. The little ghost boy can be seen in the scene where Jack's mother, Mrs. Holden, and Jack are walking around the apartment. If you look closely, you will see a little boy standing in front of the window behind the curtains. Of course, there have been many rumors as to where this little boy came from. Some say he committed suicide with a shotgun in that apartment. With other variations, merely just mention how he died. The one I heard was that the little boy choked on a piece of food and died. Then, his parents moved out of the house, and he haunts the apartment, making his grand appearance in the movie. According to Snopes , the truth is very much mundane. The boy is actually just a cardboard cutout for advertising reasons concerning part of the storyline about Jack in a dog food commercial. A prop that was acc...
