Salem Curses

 

After I decided start studying about Salem Witch-hunts, I got many documentaries online and started working on a notebook about this, so, in one of these documentaries I heard people saying that some spots in Salem were haunted by the ghost of those who perished during the witch trials, but one legend in particular, attracted my attention: The curse of Giles Corey.

I wrote everything down on a paper to start researching about this when I get back home, I need be fast right now.

I love haunting tales and everything, and once I am a bookworm, a real bookworm, I cannot get tired of this.

I wish the Blair Witch was a real story, the movie was so well made, that I could swear it was, I even tried to find the book about the Blair Witch, mentioned on the movie, but obviously… it doesn’t exist (frustration), so I am basing myself on things that actually happened, like the witch trials.

The sure if, ghosts exist or not, if haunting is possible or not, I will only have when I die… but stories like this always attract the attention and brings a good reading time.

Can animals see Ghosts?

 

Well, I am divided between believe or not in Ghosts.

I believe in reincarnation, therefore this Ghost thing wouldn’t make sense, but the truth is that sometimes I feel strange things, like cold without reason, or something really strange, strange feelings like someone is behind me, the other day the energy went off and I felt scared, wondering if something would show up, maybe because some people say it is related and we put that in our head.

But for me, one of the most bizarre things is when you have a pet, and your pet stares at something you cannot see.

I know this myself, for I have a 2 year old cat, and she does that many times, mainly at night.

The first time I saw her doing this, it was night, and I was writing on my computer, with my back turned to the room, which door was open.

my cat was on the table, and suddenly she started staring at something with the eyes wide open.

I thought it was funny at first, and even tried to play with her, I called her name and waved my hand, but she didn’t stop staring at whatever she was staring, that was when I felt really strange.

Nothing could deviate her attention, her eyes were really wide open, like when we see something we cannot take our eyes off.

Like I said, my back was turned to the room, so I took a deep breath and slowly I turned my head to see what she was staring at.

I remember I was really nervous, and then I saw nothing.

In that moment I didn’t feel relief, because she was still staring with all her attention, but there was nothing there, I was about to stand up and go to another side of the living room, forgetting my computer and everything, when she looked at me and went down of the table like nothing had happened!

Cats are funny creatures, so different of dogs, mysterious and complex, they may lick you at a minute and bite you at the other, so I started wondering if my cat was screwing me around.

I convinced myself that she did that, and then I took a deep breath and went back to what I was doing.

That was the first time she did that, the second time, it was no different, I was with my back turned to the room, which light was off there, writing on my computer and she did the same thing.

Immediately I remembered the first time and I thought: Right, she is screwing me again… but that didn’t take the same sensation that I felt the first time, and again, I got scared of turning my head around, but I did, and nothing was there.

I am an animal lover, and I love my cat, she is funny, tender, playful, but I hate when she does this kind of thing.

I must say the scariest moment when she did that, it was still at a night, when I found a link on twitter for a Japanese horror comic named: Bong Chong Dong Ghost.

This coming I read a girl writing :” If you saw this, you know what real fear is”, and that attracted my attention, and I decided to check on it.

I had to idea what was about to come when I checked the link, and while I was doing that, my cat started doing what she liked doing: staring at nothing, but once she had done that twice previously, and nothing was there, I ignored and kept what I was doing.

I was scrolling down and down in he comics and the first scare came, it wasn’t a big one, but also wasn’t something pleasurable, I was laughing at that and thinking: How is that so scary?

My cat was still doing that, and I kept scrolling down… that was when came the real friend and what I wasn’t waiting for, and in that moment, with that horrible thing on my screen, my heart beating so fast I thought I would have a heart attack, and my cat still staring at nothing, I sent it all to hell, stood up and ran to the kitchen.

There are many links to this comic: I didn’t save the original one, because I was scared shitless and swore to myself that no more I would check it again, but you can easily find on Google, the original one is one of these Asian web pages.

I suggest you to be prepared, because you have to go really fast and it is a real scary and crazy coming if you are not prepared.

The comic itself says WARNING, SCARY COMIC, but I didn’t take that serious.

 

I don’t know if ghosts really exist and if where I am there is one, that my cat can see and I can’t, but surely isn't something nice to deal with this.

Even if you don’t believe it, the way your cat looks at “that” with such attention to the point of nothing distracting him or her, ends up making you feel nervous and wondering,

When I had a dog, my dog never did that, so cats are really special and different animals.

Here is a link to a post about this, I am reading this right now: http://paranormal.about.com/cs/trueghoststories/a/aa111703.htm

CandyMan Legend & Movie

 

The Candyman is an urban legend about the ghost of a slave who returns from the dead in search of revenge if you say his name 5 times.

A horror movie was made in 1992 about the legend, followed by two sequels, starring Tony Todd as Candyman.

According to the legend, if you look into a mirror and chant the name “Candyman” 5 times he will appear behind you and kill you with his hook.

For you see, the Candyman is a vicious killer with a bloody hook for a hand.

He appears from the mirror, covered in blood and bees and he has nothing but murder on his mind.

They say that many years ago, the Candyman was a real man, back in the days of slavery, Candyman was a black slave named Daniel Robtaille, who worked on a plantation in New Orleans.

He was a talented painter and was chosen by the plantation owner to paint a portrait of  his daughter.

But Daniel fell in love with the daughter of the white plantation owner.

When he found out that his daughter and the slave were in love, he raised an angry mob and chased Daniel out of town.

Armed with pitchforks and a pack of dogs, they chased the slave across the fields and streams.

Finally, they caught up with the exhausted slave near an old barn.

The men seized Daniel and cut off his right hand with a rusty saw, then they covered him in honey and threw him into a beehive.

Daniel was in a terrible pain and died from his injuries, but not before he cursed the men who killed him and vowed to return and exact his revenge.

They say his spirit would never rest and now his ghost walks the world for all eternity, appearing when his name is called 5 times.

I got this movie yesterday, it took a lot for me to download but I finally downloaded!

I don’t remember when I watched it for the first time, but there was a scene that really made me scream when I watched for the first time, and that still makes my blood freezes, and here it is… well.. it’s not this exact scene, but it’s the sudden close-up of this drawing:

When I watched for the first time I screamed with the scene and nowadays, even though used, I still see myself feeling my blood cold when this scene comes because it’s really suddenly.

Candyman may not be the scariest movie… no, of course it’s not, there are many movies out there able to make you pee yourself, like Rose Red (some scenes are really freak), but I love this movie and I feel the wish of watching all the time.

 

Maybe the next movie I will get will be Rose Red, not sure yet, but it’s an idea that keeps coming in my mind.
