Just wanted to let each of you know that we have started a paranormal investigation team. I've been doing so many things, and that's why I haven't been around. I hope that most of you are still here, and we can get back on track talking about the "spirit world"
Well we didn't have too many entries, but Flobber you're the winner. Thanks for submitting the video.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!
No one wants to post any videos or post anything anymore. : (
Alright then if no one wants to post some good spooky ghost stuff I'll just have them haunted. MUHAHAHHAHHAAA
As Jim Brand lay dying, his wife left him with his nurse and went into the next room to rest. She sat in the dark staring into the night. Suddenly Mrs. Brand saw headlights speeding up the driveway..
"Oh no" she thought. "I don't want visitors now, not now." But it wasn't a car bringing a visitor. It was an old hearse with maybe a half dozen small men hanging from the sides. At least, that's what it looked like.
The hearse screeched to a stop. The men jumped off and stared up at her, their eyes glowing with a soft yellow light, like cats' eyes. She watched with horror as they disappeared into the house.
An instant later they were back, lifting something into the hearse. Then they drove off at high speed, wheels squealing, the gravel in the driveway flying in all directions.
At that very moment, the nurse came in, shook Mrs. Brand and told her husband had died!
This is a contest to see who can post the spookiest video - so if your're a member and you want to post a link to a video for the contest go ahead. We will close the contest the night before halloween.
Do you think that spooky things (besides scary costumes and stories) happen more around Halloween? Do you think there are more hauntings? More bumps in the night? If you think so, do you think it's real and why?
October is my favorite month of the year, and I wanted to post my first Halloween - or Samhain post.
This is my little lead in to the month of October:
Samhain. All Hallows. All Hallow’s Eve. Hallow E’en. Halloween. The most magical night of the year. Exactly opposite Beltane on the wheel of the year, Halloween is Beltane’s dark twin. A night of glowing jack-o’-lanterns, bobbing for apples, tricks or treats, and dressing in costume. A night of ghost stories and séances, tarot card readings and scrying with mirrors. A night of power, when the veil that separates our world from the Otherworld is at its thinnest. A “spirit night”, as they say in Wales.
All Hallow’s Eve is the eve of All Hallow’s Day (November 1). And for once, even popular tradition remembers that the eve is more important than the day itself, the traditional celebration focusing on October 31, beginning at sundown. And this seems only fitting for the great Celtic New Year’s festival. Not that the holiday was Celtic only. In fact, it is startling how many ancient and unconnected cultures (the Egyptians and pre-Spanish Mexicans, for example) celebrated this as a festival of the dead. But the majority of our modern traditions can be traced to the British Isles.
