Gwar Goes Trick or Treating

Like last year, I got very busy and have been crappy about updating this blog.
So how about some Gwar trick or treating?

More Conjuring

I found this film trailer for the Conjuring that includes the real Perrons. It could have been a cheesy mess, but it's actually nicely done. . .

House of Darkness, House of Light

I just stumbled across this little gem on Youtube. It's a mini documentary in which the Perron family addresses their battle with "Bathsheba" in the farmhouse that inspired The Conjuring. It was interesting to see the family now and then. Andrea Perron, who was eleven years old when her family moved into the house, wrote the book House of Darkness, House of Light on which the movie was based.

Can't Get Enough of Those Abandoned Hospitals

I found this very fantastically eerie video on an urban exploration website called The Fifi Organization. This video, titled Abandoned Hospitals of the Eastern U.S. contains creepy audio from the cassettes the urban explorers found in the hospitals. Very Session 9.

Ghosts in the Museum?

My sister is a keeper at the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. For years she's been telling me that weird things happen there - elevators with minds of their own, strange noises, sights in the basement and galleries, etc. Recently a surveillance camera in the Etruscan gallery where she works caught a ghostly figure. Check it out below:

On October 22, the Young Friends of the Museum will couple up with The Free Spirit Paranormal Investigators to investigate the unexplained happenings.  Read more here.

Secret Histories Waiting to be Read

There's a novel titled Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs that was published earlier this year. It sounds intriguing, full of spooky stories and an abandoned building.

To promote his book, Riggs made a trailer for the book. The trailer is almost a mini-documentary about his search, along with a Dutch urban exploration photographer, in Belgium for the building in his book. Along the way, he finds lots of abandonment - a rotting forest, a forgotten train station, a long-neglected and incredibly gorgeous house. The short film has spectacular shots that convey exactly why we love urban decay. Check out the You Tube video.

DISNEYLAND HAUNTED?

A video has been added to Youtube depicting the "ghost of Disneyland." Video of the being walking through the park was captured by four security cameras after the park was closed.

For years, people have been saying that the theme park has been haunted, some saying it's visited by the spirit of Walt Disney himself. Many employees have attested to witnessing the ghost, especially in the past six months.

I watched the video and have to say it's interesting. Ghost? Who knows. Eerie? Yes, indeed.
