Cabin in the Woods: A Must-See YouTube Channel!

 



You know how some YouTube channels are just a talking head the whole time? Maybe they seem too casual or too ignorate, too chatty, or completely without knowledge on the subject they are discussing?

I am extremely critical of channels that waste my time. Other channels, I can marathon all day long and stop what I'm doing to listen. Cabin in the Woods is definitely that channel!

Dinosaurs in the Congo?

 



Is it possible that in the thick jungles in Africa, a dinosaur has remained hidden from the world? On the Congo River, it is said there is a creature referred to as mokele-mbembe.

Photo and Video Mementos of Missing Loved Ones

 



Dad died when I was 16. I've gone a lifetime missing him, wanting his advice, and wishing he could know the adult I became because of his amazing influence.

Free Horror Movies on Tubi

 


I know a lot of my readers are horror fans. I am presently editing a horror screenplay right now and it has me in the mood to have creepy music and imagery playing in the background. Nothing beats free horror, so here's what's playing on TubiTv now.

Has Science Explained Residual Hauntings?

 



Residual ghosts

Having grown up in a very actively haunted Civil War hospital home (Aspen Grove in Fairfax, VA), I contemplated why we have these encounters that feel like we are witnessing history. 

Residuals with encounters have a very suspended and odd feel to them. For example, one of many residual ghosts at our home was a Civil War figure that was seen in a long window on the second floor, appearing to be smoking and looking out. He didn't see us outside staring up at him, was lost in his own world. Upon witnessing the figure, we felt a sense of being in a vacuum, suspended as if we met in a land between this world and that - a no man's land. 

I've long asked myself, why today? why this moment in time? 

Scientists have proven something called Time Mirrors.

Unlike normal mirrors that reflect space, time mirrors reflect reality backward in time. In the lab, scientists managed to reverse waves of light and sound, making them travel back to their point of origin instead of continuing forward. This breakthrough relies on manipulating the medium in which waves travel.


Let's look at another visually disorienting phenomena - 
Fata Morgana. This photo above shows what seems like a ship above the sea. This phenomenon happens when rays of light bend when they pass through air layers of different temperatures in a steep thermal inversion where an atmospheric duct has formed.

Under the right conditions, such things are glimpses of history playing in present day. 

As an investigator of ghostly phenomena, I have noted that on nights we investigate and a geomagnetic storm is occurring (the earthly effect of solar flares), we run into more ghostly activity. Is this a catalyst for Time Mirroring?

Statistically, most ghostly encounters are "residual" or lingering and replaying within the senses - visual, auditory, olfactory, or tactile. This glitch in time that allows mirroring is intriguing and also makes me ponder things like, when we get an EVP (electronic voice phenomenon), perhaps we need to play these audio captures backwards, as the very act of time mirroring means going backward. 

These are exciting things to consider and I hope to continue to pursue this avenue of research.

1967 - Unprecedented Paranormal Year!

    


I am going to propose something rather revolutionary and highly unusual. For some, you will shake your heads, for others, a light will turn on in your mind. I encourage you to take this concept and run with it. Much of what I have done in the field of paranormal is about the human catalyst/receiver/perceiver. This embodies that research.

**This was co-authored with a great researcher and mind, James Carroll**

The Various Ways People Handle First-Time Paranormal Contact

 


I've been at researching for decades and one thing I can rely on is people sharing their strange encounters, trying to make sense of them. The interesting thing about humanity is, there is no pat way to react to something novel.Here's some examples -

Grand Canyon Mysteries

   


Shadow of a Man

This photo above was taken by someone using an internet live cam from the canyon, as he looked for UFOs, but what he found was a giant shadow of a person (at least it looks that) - bottom left quadrant of the photo. It could be some kind of soil erosion, but a few ponder if perhaps something was set up long ago to cast a shadow like that, such as the geoglyphs of Nazca or the Intaglios of Blythe, California. This is only one of many oddities at the Grand Canyon.

Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch - Is It Over?

InTown Suites Review - WARNING!

 


InTown Suites - Gilbert, AZ

I like to warn people when I'm traveling. This extended stay establishment is the very most humiliating and horrible location I've ever stayed - and in my early years I stayed at Motel 6 a lot!

Expect them to tell you that the rate they offer per week is a special entry amount and only good for one week. If you want to continue that much lower fee, you need to check out, go somewhere for 24 hours and come back and check in again.

At any time once a week, the (prior) manager will pound on your door, demand entry and stick her head in or simply storm into the room for a "safety inspection." She helps herself to your space you paid for.

While unpacking on the first day, I went to take a shower and the shower had shampoo dripping down the tub, dirty soap holder, and a pubic hair. Later, during the weeks there, the maid was sent in to clean the bathroom. She cleaned the toilet and changed the trash basket, but didn't clean the shower. When I directed her to clean the shower, it looked the same.

Once a month they do pest control. Repeating exactly all that is on the sheet of how to prepare, the room passed easily without the $50 noncompliance charge. The second time, a repeat of what I did the last time and was told by manager it did not comply. There was literally zero difference. I had to argue to get that passed. The first time, I took videos and photos because I didn't trust the overly reactive manager to complain. The place has the vibe of staying in a prison cell and at the whims of guards. It doesn't take much to be kind or warm, but not for this manager!!!

Another time, they passed my mail package to some other guest who opened it, assuming it was their's. It was folded closed and brought back to the office, thankfully nothing missing.

I was told the pool was heated. The gates are locked and it is not heated. But,, it was an amenity worth nothing. As well, the pool had the only chairs for sitting outside. If you want to sit outside, you have to sit in your car in the parking lot.

I turned thet heater on in the room and it filled with smoke that made the alarms go off. I told the management about it and she said, "just run it, it smokes at first." I'm like - how do we stop the alarms?

The place smells of pot around certain rooms where people linger. It seems as if their "no pot" warnings meant nothing and with a very nosy intrusive manager, I'm shocked she doesn't smell it just walking by or sticking her nosy head inside the rooms.

They do not wash sheets or towels. It's up to us. I have the housekeeping clean the bathroom and she has never touched the tub, just the toilet and trash can.

The refrigerator died - the interior got completely warm, ruining all the food. The freezer was frozen beyond belief. They exchanged the fridge, but did not apologize or offer to replace the cost of the groceries. Then, two weeks later, the replacement fridge did the same thing! The guy came to replace it and said, yeah, they are cheap and won't budget for more than a couple new fridges, so they thaw them out and put them back into the units.

The manager "K" was (key word "was") not pleasant at all, very aggressive and robotic. Yes, she should do her job, but she doesn't have to treat everyone as if they are prisoners with no rights.

I had considered this as a possible location for film shoots to house cast or crew, but there is no way I would ever recommend it and, in fact, would like to reach the huge audience (20K readers a day) on my blog to warn against InTown Suites.

This has been the most humiliating and horrible stay ever. I work remotely and the stress levels have sent my BP rising and my sleep restless and almost nonexistent.

At about 2200 a month to stay here for extended stay, it is absolutely a nightmare. They do not consider seasonal rates for this snowbird-happy city, but keep upping the rate a bit each month. Don't let the low ball pricing for reserving a room fool you. They do it for one week and after that, normal rates.

I don't know if I could honestly give it one star.

The pro's of this location is that we contacted headquarters and the horrible manager was fired. In fact, people working for the hotel rushed up to me to thank me profusely as she had been terrorizing the workers for some time. The new manager is a very pleasant and efficient lady and that helped ease some of the tensions, though she could do nothing for making the conditions better, she at least talked to me like a human being.
I have since moved on to Georgia and that is a faded memory, but as a writer it certainly helped me to understand the culture of desperate folks with bad credit ratings trying to find an all-inclusive room, though how they afforded it, I do not know. Here in Georgia, a really nice 2-bedroom apartment is at thousand dollars less a month.

If I had my qualms, I would go to a Motel 6 extended stay or other. I did Extended Stay America and, althoughit was nice, the price for what you get was painful and their "healthy" breakfast was coffee, muffins, granola bars, maybe a few tiny tangerines, and oatmeal packets.

Dealing With Grief

 


I have lost over 3 dozen loved ones in my lifetime. I don't like to think I'm a pro at the process, but I have developed a perspective that makes it possible to continue my trek through the human experience without losing my spirit or being stuck.

Missing 411 Paranormal-Themed Alaskan Cruise

 


I am all over this Alaskan cruise! There's nothing like a cruise with people you share interests with and if you're a paranormal geek like me, this is on your radar. I will see how my film schedule goes this fall, but I have always wanted to hang with David and Joe and all the brains in research and go to Alaska.

Gaslight-Themed Horror Movies




 GASLIGHTING: Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in their victim's mind. Typically, gaslighters are seeking to gain power and control over the other person, by distorting reality and forcing them to question their own judgment and intuition. (rather sounds like Biden's administration and cults....)

The Different Frequencies of Sound for Healing and Meditation

  


There is more to the science of hearing than just gathering information about your environment and communicating. Sound waves affect us throughout every cell of our body.  In fact, let's take a look at what infrasound (frequency below the level of our hearing) can do to water molecules - 


Let's take a look at frequencies and their benefits and purpose in our healing and relaxation -

Scandinavian Christmas

  


My father came to America from Norway in the 1920s. They changed their last name from Thorvaldsen to Day to be more "American." But, my father kept his fond memories of the homeland and the traditions his father from Norway and mother from Sweden passed on. We had Scandinavian Christmas celebrations every year with a large Smorgasbord spread, live candles on the tree, and opening gifts on Christmas Eve night. To this day, the look of Christmas for me is purely Northern -

Phone Calls From the Dead?




There are some questions I repeatedly hear when people talk to me about ghost hunting. “Do ghosts follow you home?” “Can ghosts have sex with you?” and “I have this friend who got a call from her dad after he died. Is that possible?”

Here’s my own strange experience - it's answered in the quantum ether that divides the life they lived here and where they are now. It's as if we have a forward momentum when we die. Every day, we think about what we must do tomorrow, next month, by the end of year, vacations, birthdays, doctor's appointments, and other distractions of this human experience. Where does that "living in tomorrow" go when we suddenly stop existing on the mortal plane? Were we actually one foot in the future when we think of it? One foot in the past when we reflect?
