Real life corpse bride

A very thoughtful father in China found his dead son a nice dead girl to share eternity with him.

Read the gruesome deatils here.

Isn't that nice?

The cleanest ghost ever

Some 27 year old pansy got a fright from some random soap bubbles because he thinks it looks like the Scream mask.
I don’t know what’s more disturbing — the weird looking purple soap or the fact that The Sun is reporting on some dummy’s soapy ghost. Sud-den, I get it. Is the Sun for real? Why do they waste digital paper this way. The poor digital forests are getting cut down for idiot stories like this.

Castle ghost photographed

A ghost friend of mine, whose name is Pat has been photographed at Tantallon Castle in the UK.

Notorious G.H.O.S.T.

I just have to laugh at this one. Lil’ Kim has come out to tell us that Notorious B.I.G. has a ghost who came to her in a dream to tell her he’s unhappy with his portrayal in the recent movie about him, Notorious.

Dear Lil’ Kim, ghosts aren’t in your dreams, they’re in your walls, eatin’ ur mices. LOLBIGS!

She says in this article that he is going to make his feelings on it known soon. I’m confused. Didn’t she say he already made his feelings known to her? Is she failing at getting the message out?

This sheet has holes in it

Part of me doesn’t even want to feed the machine with publiciy mentions like this, but I like Ricky Gervais enough that I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt that he’s not involved. After all, chances are his staff and crew are setting him up to make this look even more authentic. Maybe they don’t trust his acting ability?
According to this article at starpulse.com, Ricky Gervais was spooked during press junkets for his new movie, Ghost Town (of course). They were being held at the reputedly haunted Roosevelt Hotel.
Gervais wasn’t even involved in any of they haunting events, which if you ask me, sound like hype from giddy production people. For the record, ghosts have had no physical interaction for a long time. It’s not likely they’ll be pushing anyone out of bed. That must have been one ugly production assistant.

Ghostly graduate

Here's a link to a video report showing what is supposed to be a ghost. The report is a little flaky, but the video is interesting. They think it’s the ghost of a former high school student who has come back to haunt a teacher. That, or it's the shadow of the bat. I don’t think it’s actually a ghost or a bat. I think it’s a shadow person from a different dimension who’s just messing around.

Grim Undertakings

Seems like everyone’s jumping on the “ghost hunting” band-wagon these days. The good news is anyone jumping on is not really likely to be doing it for the monetary value of it as much as the thrill that is present for people who are interested in ghostly happenings.
Truly, ghostly happenings are mostly boring. They throw the worst parties, and they’re not very gracious guests. I can’t remember the last time one offered to pay for dinner.

Anyway, I have to give some kudos to The Chronicle Herald since it seems as if I find a lot of good information in their features and articles. This one about Grim Undertakings based in Nova Scotia was particularly entertaining and informative.

And if you find their studies interesting, I’ve done the Googling for you. Here’s their official site:

I see dead people seeing you seeing me

Of course we’ve all wondered, so why wouldn’t someone have thought of writing a book about it until now? Do Dead People Watch You Shower and other questions you’ve been all but dying to ask a medium by Concetta Bertoldi should be an interesting read. I’m not sold on mediums, but who am I to judge? I’m a vampire.
She sure seems to know a lot… or at least she thinks she does… or at least she believes you think she does. Either way, it should be entertaining or insightful… or both.

Haunting holidays.

I found this column that alerted me to a great resource for your next vacation. There is a travel firm called Haunting Breaks that can set you up in a stay at a haunted castle, morbid mill or eerie inn.

Enjoy your next vacation with a headless ghost. At least they won’t peek at you in the shower.

Amy Hauntedhouse

Well, what do you know? Apparently Amy Winehouse has met a good friend of mine named Henry.
Clicky.

Driving with spirit

The new fashion of excuses for poor driving skills is to blame a ghost. Nice. Isn’t it just like a mortal to blame their ineptitude on the “paranormal.”
Here’s the story explaining how there are plenty of accidents on a certain stretch of road in the UK. Nothing against Abby Cadaver and her British vocal cords, but maybe it’s because they’re all driving on the wrong side of the road.

Blown away by some people’s stupidity

In the aftermath of the cyclone that recently ravaged Burma, people are claiming they are hearing the ghosts calling for help according to this article. Ever consider they are real people you just can’t find? Ghosts don’t get stuck in physical places very often.
Well, the bright side is the people who are stuck are sitting ducks for local vampire bats.

Mugged by a ghost

Here’s an enjoyable read about a few encounters with a ghost that took place over the span of a decade. It’s not much of a haunting, but an entertaining story at least.
Personally I don’t think the lady has all her marbles, but what do I know? I’m just a fictional illustrated vampire, right? Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep.

Granny ghost doesn’t take the stairs

Ooooh, creeeepy. This video even gave me chills It’s worth watching the entire thing. Granny ghost follows a young fellow out of an elevator, and it’s caught on a security camera.

Ton of skellies

Something weird happened in Potters Bar, England some time ago, and construction workers are finding the clues. This link takes you to a story that will surely have follow-up soon. Someone was having an addition put on to their cottage when they started to find skeletons under the floor. Don’t ask me how they know, but they expect to find up to 40 of them by the time they finish digging. Could be foul play — could be a grave site. Either way, where there be skellies, there be ghosts; and now they’re disturbed and agitated.

A toast to the dead

I’m not sure why it’s being reported that a ghost was floating around a bar. All they wanted was a couple of drinks to take the edge off.

Home invasion for charity

There’s no information on how you can volunteer, but there is a charity in Wales looking for people to spend the night in a haunted castle. It’s at this link. Since it’s in the guise of a good cause, the volunteers’ intrusion on the home of over 20 ghosts will be overlooked… mostly. There’s at least one ghost who lives there who will not cooperate. She plans to rattle chains, and maybe even say, “Boo!” once or twice. That’s supposed to be sarcastic in case you missed it.

Shanghai surprise

Attack of the killer tomato ghost. Not so. Just another bozo who jumped to conclusions about what he saw, but this is an amusing story. A ‘female ghost’ (which is always scarier) got into the back of a cab, and the driver ran off screaming bloody murder.
Ghosts think they’re the only ones who can’t get a cab, but we vampires have a hard time too. It’s not like we don’t tip well, so I don’t get it.

New house bonus: Ghosts!

A family in Italy is suing the previous owners of their home. Why? Because it has ghosts. Seems to me the only thing they can sue for is the fact that the sellers obviously didn’t own the home in the first place.
I see this kind of thing happen all the time. The ghosts residing there get called “poltergeists” and such over the fact that they don’t like intruders in their home. Where are the ghost police? Where is the Ghost Housing Authority? The humans living there, of course, make this about them. Those people have got nerve. Read about it here, and tell me what you think.
