Halloween Memorial For Blogger John Wolfe

I have been very blessed to know some amazing bloggers, but one who was very dear to my heart was my good friend, John Wolfe. He ran the blog Season of Shadows and embodied all things vintage and true Halloween. He would begin early in the year designing elaborate home haunts and sharing on video how he went about designing them. He did lots of volunteer work and was always available for anyone. He sought to understand the spiritual and the other side. In fact, as he was dying, he said he would contact me through EVPs. And, he asked me to write his memorial which I did and he read it and approved of it before his passing at much too early an age in his 30s. Each Halloween, I will post his memorial here. Halloween is his season, his paradise, and I miss him something awful every October. I'd like to share him with you now - "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" (Edgar Allen Poe)  ( John Wolfe ) “Night of the Wolf” Nox Arcana ( one of his favorites ) I am

Arizona's Halloween Tumbleweed

Here's your Friday night chuckle  -  An Arizona autumn tumbleweed. Here's your Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! DUCK! Good grief! 

Halloween Night in Indiana Pennsylvania

Location:  205 N. 4th St. Indiana, PA Time: Saturday, October 31st, 6 pm - 9 pm Premise:   On Halloween Night, 1972, Elmer Wyatt Heddy claimed the lives of 31 innocent young victims through the use of tampered Halloween treats, kick starting an urban legend and marking himself as the most infamous mass murderer in Pennsylvania history. Now, 43 years later, his crimes all but forgotten, the deranged backwoods madman has returned to give the people of Indiana, PA a Halloween they will never forget… no matter how much they want to. This sounds like a good one and I encourage you to check it out if you are in the area tomorrow night.  

Stories of Abandoned Victorian Homes

I love abandoned Victorian homes and their once grand splendor. It makes me imagine what might go on inside them now. Here's a series of photos and what comes to my mind, a chilling story, told in one paragraph. She answered the door for the solicitor, inviting him in for tea and a chat. The teacup was chipped, filled with dust and leaves. The floors were bare. The salesman shifted on his seat that was covered in a white sheet, as were all the furnishings. Somewhere in a room upstairs, a music box played a childhood tune over and over again with false cheer. The vacuum dealer lowered his cup to the saucer only to be startled by a mouse scurrying across the floor, unnoticed by the homeowner. He stood up on quaking legs when his hostess guided him to the door, blocking it with her wide girth. She lifted the veil over her face to his complete and utter horror to find the visage of a monster starting back at him with all its three eyes. The nesting evil. The gargoyle-like man who roost

Are You Brave Enough To Sleep Here?

A contest is offering you a delightful tour of the French catacombs, dinner, a scary storytelling time, and then they leave you there to sleep.... Here are contest details You might have slept in a spooky place before, perhaps a seedy motel in a bad part of town, an arguing couple's home, a really old historic inn, but there are some places that would definitely not be sleep-friendly for most folks. Cliff camping is a new rage (after bungee jumping lost its effect for adrenalin-jockeys).  Fernwood Campground in Big Sur, California is said to be atop sacred Indian burial ground. Aokihagara "Suicide Forest" Japan is the second most popular place to end a life. The forest is so thick with trees, no sunlight enters, no wind either. The place is oppressive, filled with relics left by those who went to kill themselves, and visitors report getting very lost and running into evil spirits. In Peru , they offer a room with a view. If you are middle-aged with an overactive bladder

How-To Develop Your Psychic Skills

Psychics. How are they made? Well, I like to think of it as practiced. One needs to have the right exposure the first 3 critical years (look on right hand side of ghost hunting theories for post about psychically critical first 3 years). But, to really tap it, you have to become liquid and not solid. You have to let go of your mind's beliefs, assumptions, need to control, and the concept that you have a body with parameters. Once you become liquid - you can flow. What does flow feel like?  I suggest regular daily testing your PSI skills. I use the Boundary Institute . I have learned not only what my strengths are in the types of skills, but learned that synchronicity that happens in mind and body when you have chosen correctly. It is a bit like being "off" the time line and without linear time to what you are doing.  You are in a state of suspension . The reason some people resist the flow is that empaths often feel bombarded by and influenced by others feelings.  Flow is

Knock! Knock! Who's There? Five Fearful Home Invasion Movies

**This post is a guest posting by writer, Jared Hill, a contributor to Ghost Hunting Theories and avid horror enthusiast.** There’s nothing scarier than the thought of having a stranger in your home; pilfering your prized possessions or possibly even worse. As such, the “home invasion” theme is one that keeps popping up in Hollywood, juxtaposing the fright of a break-in with the banal aspects of everyday existence. We feel safest from the hazards of the outside world when relaxing in the confines of our domiciles, so the mere thought of someone disturbing our solitude is one that strikes fear in the hearts of audiences of all ages. The following five films are especially frightening takes on the home invasion formula. 5. Black Christmas Released in 1974, Black Christmas is often considered the granddaddy of modern slasher films . A crazy killer makes threatening phone calls to a college sorority house and then actually follows up on his promises of violence by dispatching the inhabita

The Story of the 13 Ghosts

I have to admit, parts of the remake 2001 movie “Thirteen Ghosts” totally hit the mark for me. I think the single scariest scene I’ve ever seen in a movie was the junkyard scene when they’re trying to capture the Juggernaut. Something about setting a trap for a huge seriously evil ghost that can’t be seen is shivery scary and I adore junkyards so the location was wickedly grim, as well. The ultimate horror always occurs in darkness and with the unseen. I don’t want to know what it is that’s viewing the hero/heroine as prey. I think of movies like “The Haunting,” “The Changeling,” “The Strangers,” and most of "Jeepers Creepers" as being tormented by the unknown, not knowing which way it will come at you, and completely thrilling to watch. Ironically they are cheap to make. I say, Mr. Moviemaker, spend your budget on a good script and actors and the scary movie is a success. Quit CGI and in-your-face guts spilling and give me real terror— the unknown . When I saw this movie, th
