The Haunting In Connecticut - Based on Carmen Reed's True Story

Carmen Reed is a down-to-earth lady who experienced a true life nightmare when she moved into a haunted funeral home in the 80s. She now speaks to the public of her horrid experiences with her family in that home in Connecticut and the new movie, "The Haunting In Connecticut" is based on that true story. There is a more accurate, as in events and factual based things, from the Discovery Channel's series "A Haunting". The documentary is "A Haunting In Connecticut", not to be confused with the newly released movie.

I have seen the documentary and the movie. Both are wonderful. As for the movie, I loved it! I even jumped. That's a lot for me. I highly recommend it.

Recently Carmen spoke to CNN and other news media about her experiences and the new movie, as did one researcher who was part of the team to document the paranormal activity over a period of nine weeks in the Connecticut home, John Zaffis. He is both a Demonologist and a Paranormal Investigator.

You can visit both at their websites:

John's Website

Here are some articles I've ran across in the past few days. Also, the CNN interview is embedded below. When I run across more interviews with Carmen or John, I'll post those, too. Until then, be safe and well.

Halloween Special Post 10

Halloween cannot go by without the vampiric society chiming in. Whether in costume, or for people more inclined to the dark side like me, it is a time of year to be who you want to be or for the latter, just to be yourself. So, in my posts about vampires and their world of fact and fiction, I offer you this history series of videos to kick it off ....
Discription: Since the dawn of civilization, blood-drinking ghouls have been documented in every major culture around the world. From the ancient Babylonian Edimmu through Richard Trenton Chase and Jeffrey Dahmer, vampire-like beings have walked among the living.

This program takes you on a terrifying historical journey through the ages, with vivid stories of people like the 16th century Hungarian noblewoman Elizabeth Bathory -- better known as the "Blood Countess" -- who tortured and killed over 600 servant girls, drinking and bathing in their blood.

Other notorious figures include the real-life Dracula, Prince Vlad Tepes -- born in 1431 in Transylvania -- who impaled and killed over 100,000 people; and the German butcher Fritz Harmann whose deadly bite claimed at least 24 young victims -- and who later ground up the body parts to make sausages which he ate himself and also sold to his customers.

These and many other incredible legends are revealed in this feature-length program. Do vampires really exist? Learn the truth and find out for yourself.

Halloween Special Post 7

Although I do disagree with the assessment that a tragic, unexpected, or violent event makes a "ghost" as opposed to what I define as "spirit", I do know that sometimes this is the case. I've found through my research that very specific circumstances must be present to keep a spirit trapped here as a ghost, and a lot of times it is the choice of the spirit to remain as a ghost, for they have reasons of their own to stay all the time. Spirits can and do travel between planes. Simply because you see one does not mean they are trapped or need to "move to the light". This is where a good trans medium comes in for real time communication witht the spirit to know if they are indeed trapped here or not. Having said that, I ask you to take a step back and consider the spirit instead of the theories that prevail in this field. Consider the spirit as you would yourself. After all, the spirits of humans that have passed are just that .... humans without a body.

As for the ancient art of Voudoo, once again, pay attention to the priestess's words. The power of prayer, by any intention, and the power of ritual by the same. What, after all, is faith? Faith, spirituality, and what we call paranormal all go hand in hand at some point ...... Do not be confused or under illusion!
