Last week I read Christopher Pike’s Weekend and Christopher Fowler’s Roofworld. Weekend was okay. It was an entertaining read, but my favourite out of the two books was, most definitely Roofworld. It is the first time that I have read anything written by Christopher Fowler, but I saw the book in my local bookshop and…
Psychopomps
I recently watched the film The Messengers and there were a lot of crows in the film, but I never really figured out why. As I thought about it I wondered if they were meant to be psychopomps. Maybe they were and maybe they weren’t but it has given me an idea for today’s post….
Just A Link
In Sunday’s post I mentioned a site that listed some ebay auctions of supposedly haunted/cursed items. I managed to find a link. It is quite an interesting site and worth checking around a bit. Here is a link to the site: http://www.ghoststudy.com/ And here is a link to the haunted auctions section: http://www.ghoststudy.com/new7_crypt/haunted_auction.htm
The Hands Resist Him: eBay’s Famous Haunted Painting
My last post was about a supposedly cursed painting and so today I will do something different: a post about a supposedly haunted painting. 🙂 The painting in question turned up in an ebay auction in February 2000. It’s called The Hands Resist Me. It has a slightly unsettling look to it, don’t you think?…
Tears Amongst The Flames: The Crying Boy
Like the picture? It’s the Crying Boy. One version of it anyway, because there do seem to be a few different ones around when you start looking. Any and/or all of them are meant to be bad luck though. Or so a lot of people believe. The original Crying Boy painting was the creation of…
Keeping The Spirit In The Bottle
I was sitting looking at an old glass bottle the other day. You probably know the kind I mean, they usually have a green look to them – the kind that people sometimes dig out of their garden if they live in an old house. Anyway, there I was looking at this old bottle and…
Locked In For Love
I haven’t done a spooky post for a while and so I will rectify that now. The following tale is supposedly true and hails from the North Yorkshire village of Little Smeaton. I am not sure exactly how long ago this all happened, but it is a sad and spooky story. You probably won’t have…
Dictionary of Hammer Horror
HERE’S A LINK FOR HAMMER HORROR FANS. It looks like the site is still a work in progress, but it is still pretty good.
Caught on Security Camera
I’ve just been watching some interesting footage of a supposed ghost that was caught on a security camera. HERE’S THE LINK if you are interested. It is quite strange and I think it might very well be a ghost.
It’s Coronation Street, But Not As We Know It
I watched Most Haunted earlier this evening. I was rather surprised when I saw where Yvette and the team were investigating: Coronation Street. I never knew that the Street had a spook problem, but apparantly they do. Anyway, if you didn’t see the show and want to find out a little more about it JUST…
