PARANORMAL ACTIVITY TICKETS!
New theaters have been added for Paranormal Activity screenings. My friend found it playing in a Maryland theater not even listed on the main movie page. Thanks to her, we'll be seeing it next Saturday night in Silver Spring, MD!

MARYLAND MAN GIVES TALK TO LOCAL GHOST HUNTERS
Last week, Maryland's Gazette published a story about a local ghost hunting group based in Odenton, MD who hosted Bill Bean Jr. as a guest speaker to an audience of over 90 people.
Bean's story of the haunted house he grew up in in Glen Burnie, MD has been made into a DVD which has been shown on Discovery Channel's "A Haunting." The same DVD was shown to the group, coupled with a lecture given by Bean.
Bean told the group that he moved into the house when he was just 4 years old.
"We left that home in 1980," he said. "I didn't discuss our experiences until I was approached to talk about it on a local radio station in 2002. . .Our childhood was robbed. There were no slumber parties at our home, no friends to come over and play for fear of what the evil entities would do."
Bean described the house as eerie, with dark paneling and a narrow hall. After his family moved in, a bedroom door began opening and slamming repeatedly. Soon after sinks would overflow, beds would be stripped after his mother made them, and heavy footsteps could be heard in the attic. He also said that he and his mother were attacked by an invisible entity.
Finally, the family called in a priest who blessed the house and gave the family holy water.
Bean has also written a book about his experience titled "Dark Force." Check it out on Bean's own website here.

"It got to a point where the priest told us to call him anytime day or night. He would bring holy water to our home in large Mason jars on numerous occasions," Bean said.

HAUNTED HOUSE OF THE WEEK
This is the first post in a series I've entitled "Haunted House of the Week." What better place to start than here in MD? And what better place to start than in MD than in highly-haunted Ellicott City?
Lilburn Mansion is probably the most famous haunted house in Ellicott City. According to its history, Lilburn's ghosts have made themselves known since the 1920s when the mansion was rebuilt after a fire in 1923. After the new owners, The Hazelhursts, bought it, a string of bad luck seemed to follow them. They lost several children while living in the house and Henry Hazelhurst lost several members of his family before his own time came.
The rumor is Henry still lives in the house along with several other ghosts including the apparition of a little girl and a man. Cigar smoke is said to manifest in the library and float across the room, heavy footsteps can be heard on the stairs, and the windows absolutely refuse to stay shut despite being tied closed.
