There Is No Death

These souls, who for whatever reason are not at rest, are also not aware that they have passed on. They're not part of consciousness as we know it. They linger in a perpetual dream state, a nightmare from which they cannot awake. Inside the spectral light is salvation, a window to the next plane. They must pass through this membrane where friends are waiting to guide them to new destinies...

There's one more thing. A terrible presence is in there with her. So much rage, so much betrayal. I've never sensed anything like it. I don't know what hovers over this house, but it was strong enough to punch a hole into this world and take your daughter away from you.

Poltergeist Scene: The Demonstration

See how harmless it all is?  It's fun.  And funny.  Chairs move on their own.  People too, if you sit in that circle on the kitchen floor.

Now Watching: Interview With A Poltergeist

Noisy Spirit

So last night I found an oddly bent spoon in the silverware drawer.
Tonight I was leaning forward on the couch and felt one of the cats crawling around behind me...turned to pet the critter...and NOTHING WAS THERE.

Yep...pretty certain later this evening this will happen...

Smell Like A Noisy Ghost

I HAVE INTENSELY FRAGRANT MEMORIES FROM MY TIME IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE AIR HEAVY WITH THE SMOKE OF BLAZING BURN PILES FILLED WITH SCORCHED LEAVES AND TIMBER. LONG WALKS THROUGH THE WOODS PERMEATED BY THE UNMISTAKABLE PERFUME OF MOSS, MUSHROOMS, PINE NEEDLES AND LEAVES EMANATING FROM THE FOREST FLOOR. I LONGED FOR A FRAGRANCE THAT MARRIED THESE TWO DISTINCT OLFACTORY EXPERIENCES: GREEN AND SMOKE. UNABLE TO FIND WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, I CREATED POLTERGEIST AND NAMED IT AFTER MY FAVORITE ELUSIVE SPIRIT — A SUPERNATURAL BEING THAT MAKES ITS PRESENCE KNOWN THROUGH PHYSICAL DISTURBANCES OR LOUD NOISES. INSPIRED BY THAT FEARLESS ENERGY, THIS “NOISY” FRAGRANCE FEATURES INTENSE GREEN SCENTS PAIRED WITH A DEEP, HAUNTING SMOKINESS THAT LINGERS ON THE SKIN.

Always figured it was bogus and fun movie magic when a paranormal investigative team from a local university was seen in a movie, but it turns out that it was totally real.

Ghost Attack

If ghosts/poltergeists are real, shouldn't this stuff below be happening ALL the time?
Unless every time this stuff happens the person gets killed and we just assume it was a robbery gone bad.

I wonder if this guy will be making an appearance in the Poltergeist remake.

How It's Done

We tried to watch Insidious 2 last night.  Tried.
So naturally it made me think of paranormal done right - Poltergeist.

Click below for an amazing scene.  It's packed with class, imagination, originality, and incredible special effects.
