  1. Don't be shy. I'll be on here all night. It's been an el shit-o day and I am exhausted, having a beer early and numbing out in front of SyFy channel. Give me a little distraction any time you want to get on and chat.

    I just love my Sheldon!!! Yeah, well, one beer ain't gonna get me there, but I have a whole evening. I usually don't drink more than 3 beers or I'm just sleepy and cranky. We'll see how I hold up. That picture on the post--that's me. Yeah, totally.

  4. Oh, yes, good news today at least! One great thing happened--I submitted the proposal for the book "Abandoned Places: Abandoned Memories" and it is potentially a series that would involve 5 books and using my psychic skills creatively. I am thrilled by that, at least.

  5. Autumn, I have a video here I think you'll dig: the Steampunk Haunted House on NYC. Never been there, but it looks wicked cool! It's run by some art/theater group, and it just opened for it's second season. Here's a video review someone did:

  6. Oh, and GREAT about your book!!!!! Sounds like it's gonna be really cool!

  7. That is soooo wicked!! Did you know I made it to one of the 13 finalists in Kreepy Krawlys contest? check out www.kreepykrawlys.com and see the prizes--look at the #1 prize. It's got a steampunk kind of theme to it too.

  8. I am excited about the book. It's just a blast to write. Taking a psychic vision and writing it into a narrative is thrilling.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Thanks, I'll definitely check out that link! You could right some really cool haunt backstories. I think most of them are way too cartoon-y to be feasible. So, Autumn, any cool haunts out there in AZ?

    ReplyDelete
  10. There's a fear farm here. It would be cool but today was freaking 90-something. It's hard to feel autumn-ish in it. I really don't like the houses that have loud noises and depend too much on chainsaws and such. That's pretty lame. This haunted attraction, if they use my essay, will have a very cool theme. I want to post the essay on here so much but I should wait until final judging is done. I incorporated in the essay the haunted house feature so people will be afraid to show fear or their brains might be taken. My dream haunted attraction would be a haunted farmhouse. I'd have you wander the home and image of ghosts could pop up, things could fly across the room on their own, walls could pound, and you just don't know what's next. Then, wander a cornfield where a scarecrow chases you and then find an abandoned cemetery where bodies would rise up from the graves..

  11. Neat steampunk !

  12. Your dream haunt sounds awesome. And remember to keep dreaming and someday it might be a reality! I'm pretty partial to "Classic Hallowe'en" themes use jack-o-lanterns, cornstalks, witches, ghosts, graveyards, scarecrows, and rustic settings. I think Pumpkinrot and the Pro Haunt "Haunted Overload" in New Hampshire some that VERY nicely. (www.hauntedoverload.com)

  13. Watching Ellen, waiting for hubby to get home, getting hungry. Looking forward to seeing where Zak gets groped tonight. I'm excited about the book too. The waiting to hear back from the publisher is going to be tough.

  14. HalloweeNut;
    I totally agree! Jeez, I'm sentimental about the old Halloween themes and the rustic stuff. I remember as a kid going through my aunt's corn field at night one time when it was a harvest moon. It was crackling and the corn had aged on the stalks and the kernels burst like ugly old blackened teeth. It rustled in the wind and I thought something was following me. I took off and ran wildly and got lost.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Julie;
    Yeah, I'm going to just focus on getting the other chapters written and think about Halloween. Before we know it, we'll hear back and then make our next decision. This process is always a sweaty one, but worth it.

    ReplyDelete
  16. To me, an old fashioned Halloween is one with black plastic walls, cheesy store-bough props, simplistic mechanical FX, goofy masks, and colorful lighting. I'm curious, what would you, Autumn, define as an "Old School" Halloween?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Hey HalloweeNut;
    I'd say all things associated with autumn; Jack O'Lanterns, corn stalks, hay bales, full moons, black cats, Sleepy Hollow themes...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hi Julie,

    Who me mess with the mailman? I guess I should be careful you never know when one might go postal --- oh wait.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Barry;
    You and that postal carrier! I think you need to change your tactics and flirt. hee hee

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yeah, my grandma has been pushing me to do a "Sleepy Hollow" theme for a while now. I love the theme, just don't know if I could do it justice. I'd love to see you do a Headless Horseman prop sometime!

    Word Verification: Tator. You say "po-tata", I say "po-tater". :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. HalloweeNut;
    Oh no! My word verification is messing with everyone again! Hee hee

    I do adore Sleepy Hollow. I thought about doing it one year but the desert scape in the front yard takes away the scary factor. I also thought it would be cool to repeat the scarecrow scene in Jeepers Creepers 2. When he was up on the post in the corn field, it was just so dark and scary because he looked more like a man in a trenchcoat and hat than a scarecrow and that's even scarier.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The last time I went to a haunted house, I was just a wee Pangs. It was something the local teenagers set up. A hockey-mask wearing teen burst from a doorway, my friends ran and I got grabbed. The grabbing seemed a bit too forceful to me. I panicked and punch the poor kid in the nuts and we both tumbled down the stairs.

    I'm pretty sure people kid sued for that kind of fun these days.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Pangs kneeing a dude in the nuts, I love the imagery. I bet he squealed like a girl, huh? Not so scary anymore. What theme haunted house would you want, Pangs?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm not very good at flirting

  25. Barry;
    You said that lie so beautifully.

    ReplyDelete
  26. You know what you could do - "Undead West"! I've had a costume concept of a zombie gunslinger where I'd have long scraggly hair, cowboy hat, a skull-bandanna mask that when I pulled it down would reveal the lower-half of my face all mangled. I think that could easily be a cool static prop, especially if you gave an old-looking rifle.

    ReplyDelete
  27. That is awesome! I wrote a novella recently involving an undead cowboy and some vampires in an abandoned gold mine in a ghost town. Reminds me of that. Now that I'm in an apartment, I can actually do more "eastern" feeling themes because I have a sidewalk and a large entry where I can hang sheets or stack up hay bales and corn stalks and things. I'll have to think about that for next year. Right now, I have the doll display in the window and the kids are freaking out already. I can't wait until I put up everything and have it lit for the night.

  28. Howdy everyone.....the best haunted house I have ever been in was when I was 12 and went with a group of friends. The house was an old two-story house in downtown Phoenix, and they started the tour upstairs. You went in two at a time. My friend and I were so scared, we took off like lightening, catching up with the girls in front of us. The four of us clanged to each other and hauled ass out of there running into walls, creepy people and weird things. It was a frickin' blast. The girls behind us came out crying. I never forgot it and haven't found another haunted house that was just as good or better.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Julie;
    Yeah. I have to admit the most beautiful one I'd been in was the Alice Cooper one downtown. The most amazing one was in Tempe and it took 45 minutes of vigorously moving along to get through it and we never saw another visitor ever the entire time. We went through so many worlds and so much stuff, even had to climb through a burning helicopter in Vietnam while being shot at. It was freaking amazing. My friend hated me because at the waiting line, I laughed and said it would be lame, so the guy just sent us two in alone without the huge group. Haha

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yeah, that one was supposed to take an hour, half upstairs and half downstairs, but with us running through it, we did it in half the time, lol. My kids went to the one in Cooperstown but I haven't been there. They said that there was a wall of lost items at the end of the ghostly tour. People were in such a hurry to get out, they lost cell phones, jewelry, money, and other misc. items, lol. That sounds like a fun and scary place to me.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yeah, it seemed like he put some serious cash into that thing. Each room stood alone separately with different themes, but it didn't have an intergrated feel. It was like--dark hallway--room with something--dark hallway--room with something. I like to feel more like I'm in the belly of the beast the whole time and the halls have things as they lead to rooms.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I like the idea of a setup in the woods with chanting druids and fire and darkness and things flitting through the trees, bats swooping at your head and whatnot.

    ReplyDelete
  33. A fellow on TV that worked one of those attractions said that people tend to throw phones when they panic.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Pangs;
    I love that imagery. It'd be more cool if the group was left at a bonfire and then something scary came to the bonfire and that made them have to leave the security for the woods and the people would wander and get lost on their own with things in the woods taunting and chasing them. Maybe they'd find a couple of lost cabins in the woods but they're haunted or hillbillies inside. Dang! They should let us invent these things. We'd do such a better job.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Now you are talking, Pangs. To me the dark woods is a much scarier place than a haunted house.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Pangs;
    That's freaking hilarious! I'm surprised there aren't a bunch of mismatched shoes too from people speeding off too quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oh yeah, like the Blair Witch cabin.....that would totally freak me out!!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeah, just wandering the woods with woodland werewolves and elves and things and a Bigfoot or two and then these cabins where you think you might be safe, but there's something scary inside. Awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  39. For me just being in the dark is enough to freak out.I always had fear of being alone in the dark. Autumn, how's Pumpkin Ale ?

    ReplyDelete
  40. I like the dark, but there is something terribly disconcerting about having the lights go out when you don't expect it, and you get complete darkness before your eyes can adjust.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Darkness is the best!

    Echo;
    Pumpkin ale is really musky and rich and sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Pumpkin ale sounds like something from Harry potter

    ReplyDelete
  43. Pumpkin ale is awesome, especially if you steam ribs with it.

  44. I'm back..... I had dinner and changed computers to my laptop so I can watch the GA boys and chat with ya'll.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Dang! I don't get GA until later!!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Is Aaron sleeping during the investigation?

    ReplyDelete
  48. at the stanley they filmed them sleeping in their rooms. an evp sounded unhappy that aaron snores lol

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hmm.... Dubious. Their EVPs are always lame-o.

    It's on at 9:00 here. It's 7 now.

    ReplyDelete
  50. The ghost was probably conducting their own evp session and couldn't figure out that weird noise the fleshy was making..... or the ghost was probably trying to sleep and Aaron's loud snoring was disturbing him.

    ReplyDelete
  51. it was an incubus looking for zak

    ReplyDelete
  52. oh boy zak gets to play with an axe

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'm am just starting to watch. Sharon, how are your boys doing?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  60. Hello all,

    Just had to chime in on the best haunted house I went to. The small town I live by has a population of 3500 people. The town closed down the hospital about 12 years ago, and built a new one. The old hospital was left abandoned, well by the living. The last 5 years the old one was operating the third and top floor was left unused after a jealous boyfriend visited a nurse working the late shift at 2:30 am and put 3 rounds of .357 bullets in her head.

    3 years back the several of the local high school student clubs got together to do a haunted house on the first two floors with permission from the city hall. The suspense built two weeks before Halloween as the kids were setting up and strange things happen. Several of the kids refused to go through with the event.

    I had been to the top floor about a year before the hospital closed. I was helping the clergy that operated the chapel move some the items they had stored upstairs. The place is haunted.

    I couldn’t pass up the chance waited in line for two hours. 8000 people went through that Halloween night. The kids didn’t have to try to hard to scary you. They mostly dressed in old hospital uniforms with some flake blood. No loud noises. Just dark and backlit. Scary as shit.

    The building is still there, but the City will never allow it again. They had to hard of time controlling the crowd. Surprising no group has ever asked to do it again.

    You lucky guy! That sounds fantastic! I would sooo want to do a private hunt there!

  62. tah tah..... see you tomorrow at 2:30 Sharon.

  63. That place was so creepy. When I was in high school it was the hospital. My best friend’s girlfriend was in a car accident. It had a very small staff. Three nurses on the night shift and the doctor was on call at his house. My friend and I was left in the waiting room for three hours by ourselves during the middle of the night. We kept hearing strange noises from down the hall. It bugged the heck out of me so I went to check. I saw shadows that made no sense some that looked like figures of people. It scared the crap out of me. When I returned to the waiting room where my friend was, I scared to talk about it. He would ask. I would just look at him.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hey Jim;
    I'm following your BBQ. Very cool. Rancher, seriously? That's so neat. Do you like ghost stuff or does it creep you out?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Serious.

    I enjoy all things ghostly. I’m a fan of horror movies. I like the ghost hunting TV. It not something I could see myself doing. I love Supernatural.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Those are beautiful words to my ears. I'm glad you come onto my blog. I admittedly drift away from the ghost things from time to time but as Halloween ends, you will see a lot of serious posts on ghosts. I'm working on a book right now that's a workbook for people to help them figure out if something they encountered was paranormal or not.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I will have to came back to chat again. The farmer rancher thing early to bed early raise. Thanks for following. The book sounds great. You have really good blog a real feel for relating to people. Almost every post I fell like commenting on. I always read something that reminds me of a story or event.
