GHOST HUNTERS

Genuine unexplained (above) *more later on this -  We want to capture the paranormal on cameras, but honestly it is so unbelievably rare that it can be disheartening. Before you get too excited about some of your oddities on your photographs, let's talk a wee bit about the explainable and how to discern it. Before the advent of the digital camera, orbs were not a photographic issue, or if they were, it was only with certain cameras. Now, they are very common. In fact, on a dusty hayride at night in an autumn country fair, I took a shot of the orchard and when the flash went off, it lit all the particles in the air and it looked like sparkling confetti. The people on the ride cooed at how pretty. This was the process of orbs being made - dust, pollen, and moisture in front of the lens is lit by the flash and shows up.   Translucent looking orbs are actually very close to the lens and so you are able to see through them and ones that are back a bit from the lens reflect the light fro

Last week was the premiere of The History Channel's " Missing in Alaska " show.  I wasn't sure what to expect, but The History Channel consistently puts on truly amazing shows. This show's editing and presentation reminded me a lot of my old favorite, "UFO Hunters." It mixes information, science, three investigators, and the vast expanse of Alaska and it's odd missing incidents that are off the charts statistically compared to other places.  In last week's episode, they studied the vortex concept. The investigators went into the field, by helicopter, talked to witnesses and experts. It was good watching. I know it's good watching because it's hard to keep me riveted to a show the entire hour and this one sucked me right in. I love that they even covered UFOs and parallel universes. I am always pleased when a show has the balls to take in all possibilities and looking for correlations.  I suggest you give this show a look-see and I suspect

Modern horror movies have unfortunately done something to viewers--taken us as far as they can go with desensitizing us. Since we longer jump and cringe at ax murders, then they eviscerated and tortured people. When that newness wore off, they tried gruesome killing after gruesome killing, each more over the top than the last. The problem is, they no longer hit our horror G-spot . Like porn and the use of a vibrator, it takes a bit more and more and more to stimulate and eventually, one builds up a tolerance.  Horror was never about the killings or the torture so far as it was about the unknown  (in other words what they didn't show us, not what they let us see--everything) . The real horror is not in witnessing death, but in the  not knowing what will happen . If you see a dark room and hear creepy music, your mind fills in the appropriate terror that works on you instead of someone spoon-feeding you your fright. Our minds are truly the best scriptwriters when it comes to terror,

I came across this filmmaker's work and had to subscribe to the channel HushHush Video Enjoy!

(one of my paintings, find more in my shop ) The stories of ancient giants being found mummified with their treasures inside a cave in the Grand Canyon in the early 1900s has been under debate for a century. But, might this be explained by events in a certain period of our pasts?  Radiocarbon testing showed that man was here in North America 50,000 years ago! Yes, 50,000 years!  Plants that were combined with artifacts in South Carolina ended up dating back 50,000 years ago. Why is this significant, other than it pushes man's time on the continent way the hell back from the old estimates around 11,000 years ago?  Native legends. How accurate were Native legends? Well, the Hopi speak of the ant people who were hiding underground, who helped their people when they arrived here, during a great catastrophe.  Source: "The first people of the first world were safely sheltered underground as fire rained upon the earth, the waters and air itself were elemental fire...it took a long

Season 9 begins with a cosmic bang as sixteen new talented artists work in teams of two to construct original alien animals that incorporate two models into one massive creation. This difficult task of fashioning the largest creatures ever seen on Face Offproves to be eye opening and taxing for multiple contestants, and a surprise announcement from the judges keeps everyone on edge. And on Tuesday, August 11 at 9PM, Face Off will celebrate its 100th episode in style, as the artists turn real-life engaged couples into whimsically undead duos. Following the challenge, host McKenzie Westmore, recently an ordained minister, will marry the couples as they say their vows in front of friends and family.
