Once I thought about I guessed it was computer wizardry.

Just think about this...why are there a million churches, synagogues, mosques and other places of worship. A billion people think something is going on spiritually.
Sadly, the short answer to that question = $$$$$
WWJD? Well.....not that.
-
Places of worship have bills to pay, maintenance costs and most importantly people to help with their spiritual journeys.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

I had one house where randomly the lights in my bathroom would flicker. I kid you not I was able to tell it when to start and stop...MULTIPLE times. Tis crazy, that being said I don't get too caught up in supernatural stuff.
My wife had an experience at the good ol haunted Gadsden Hotel. We were staying there a night for a party in town with family. I slept like a baby and so did my daughter however my wife said she was woken up by someone saying "Hello". When she came to she couldn't move and the noise got louder, she said she tried to say my name to wake me up but nothing came out.
I chalk it up to being paranoid and having a very realistic dream. Who knows.
Just a dude doing dude-ly things

That sounds very much like "sleep paralysis", which is relatively common. -

I actually mentioned that to her as well. Explained that if she wakes up during the wrong cycle of sleep where the paralysis happens naturally to keep us from acting out our dreams that she would experience not being able to move etc...she is stuck on the fact is was a ghost...she is borderline obsessed with the idea that there are ghosts. I don't NOT believe it but I also don't quite feel Hollywood's interpretation is correct.Just a dude doing dude-ly things

To keep the stories going, I worked at a restaurant in downtown Tucson, the building was only from the 1930's, the rest of the complex was from the 1880's. The indoor dining divided into 4 rooms, I'd seen a man in the corner of the front room to the right of the wait station many times, so had several co-workers. Never felt a bad feeling, he just was there and if you looked right at him, he faded quickly.
On a slow Sunday morning, two nice ladies came in and I tried to put them in the center room to make it easier for my hungover a$$. One of them said, no, I like this room better going to the haunted room, she walked in looking down and moves straight to the corner and says "this is where he stands isn't it?" looking right at me...Whoa, lady
, her friend says "she does this all the time, don't freak out". It was a little late for that hehe! She then tells me "he means no harm, there is something in the ground in that area that he covets", it could be a ring or something else lost long ago, it brings him so peace just to be near it...now I'm sweaty and feel sorry for the presence.
They had a nice lunch and I thanked them for letting me know the mystery.Thorens TD125MKII, SME3009,Shure V15/ Teac V-8000S, Denon DN-790R cass, Teac 3340 RtR decks, Onix CD2...Sumo Electra Plus pre>SAE A1001 amp>Martin Logan Summit's -
I saw the "Airlie girl Ghost" back in 86'. My boss was bringing me home from a late night at work at Wrightsville Bch. . It was dark. Airlie Rd. connects straight to Wrightsville Ave. at the Oleander / Military Cutoff Rd. so we always took that route most of the time. My vehicle must've been broke down for him to have been driving me home.
Well coming up to Oleander on Airlie Rd. there is a Church on the right. It's across the street from Airlie Gardens Estate. There used to be a very rich family living on the estate that's on an inlet. I think there is a girl that was seen every once in a while who wears an old white Victorian gown and bonnet and is seen standing off a bit on the side of the road. I have a book now that tells the story of the strange things that happen around Wilmington and maybe further South. It's been a while since I've seen my book but I might look for it this fall/winter.
We were about to come up on Oleander and I see this girl dressed in that old gown on my side of the road. My boss just drives up to the light that was about 100 ft. or less from passing her. As we're slowing down, I ask him "did you see that girl?". What girl? he asked back to me. The girl in the gown right behind us. I look in the side mirror thinking I'd see the white gown...nothing. I then turn around and again, nothing. I know what I saw. She was there. I can't remember her face or hair color anymore, but I remember that it was a she and the white Victorian gown and bonnet.
My boss who was driving NEVER saw her. How could he NOT see her. She was about 10' off the side of the road.
I found this little book about strange things that happen around the area, and also the ghost/s that inhabit the USS North Carolina Battleship that is harbored across from downtown Wilmington... "25 years after my experience". To see that others have seen her is reassuring I'm not alone with that supernatural experience of seeing a possible ghost on Arlie Rd. across from Arlie Gardens.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
There used to be these HUGE BOOMS that happened quite often. Maybe one or two a year. HUGE booms! only one though. The sound is like a HUGE bomb blowing up. About 3 or 4 times louder than a fireworks lone BOOMER BOMB they light off during finales for the most part. The whole area can hear them for sure!
They are named the SENECA BOOMS. After the Seneca Indians I believe.
Nobody knows where it comes from except maybe from downtown around the Cape Fear River area.
I haven't heard them in quite a long time now. Some have thought hey might have come from the fault line that's under us. Years ago, I was laying in bed and the house started to move back and forth. My mirrored glass bi-fold closet door was trying to open and close a few times. Truly scary!
I think after that earth movement happened, I haven't heard any more BOOMS or I've been sleeping and haven't heard them.

CRAP! I was going to make some more of these this year but never found the time. I might have some leftovers from a Russ project that could count towards a Halloween costume.

I love a woman with a good sense of humor, and she's not this one - or is it a put up job?

The H&M Creative Mischief Design Studio presents the annual entries of the... If you posted a pic of yourself on the forum, it's fair game Halloween thread. I took full advantage of my mandatory COVID-19 vacation. Would it kill you guys to remove your hats and sunglasses and look squarely into the camera??? NOOOO!
Introducing The 31 Days of October. Everyone is getting put into a horror movie poster or a scary scene from a movie. One person per day, everyday, for the month of October. Or maybe more than one person per day. I wanted to include as many people as possible, but set a goal at stopping at thirty one. After realizing I exceeded that number, I had to stop. I didn't get all of you, and some I couldn't find pictures of, but I got most of you that I hadn't done before, earlier in this thread. Some of your photos on the forum were unusable due to the pictures being taken from too great of a distance, incorrect facial angle, and of course your obsession to wear hats and glasses whenever possible.
If I sent you a PM asking if you knew where to find a pic of certain members, this is what I was up to. I'm 97.3% sure I've got the correct screen names with faces. You can email these to your friends and family for Halloween. And for those of you without friends, know that I care.
Sometimes my H&M Studio business partner rejects my final product and I have to go back and come up with a new and different idea, so some people may get more than one pic. You even get the rejected ones. These will be presented in random order, or at least the order in which they show up in my folder. Some of you may have seen a few of these, I have posted a couple over the last couple months.
And so it begins...
Day 1
