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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
