OT - NO POLITICS Turn back the clocks edition

Since we are on the subject of Halloween/Samhain - here are some questions:

1) Have you ever experienced something supernatural, paranormal, whatever you want to call it?

2) Have you ever taken part in a seance or played on a Ouija board? Results?

3) Would you stay overnight in a reputed haunted house?

4) What is your favourite Halloween or scary movie?

5) Do you have a favourite Halloween-ish or ghostly cartoon?

1. No. Though on a couple of occasions thought I saw out of the corner of my eye a good friend who passed away, but I chalk it up to the mind tricking itself.

2. Yeah. It was stupid. The fact that some of the participants were moving the thing themselves was so obvious, I felt dumb just being there.

3. Sure. Why not?

4. Not a horror movie fan, outside of the Universal Classic Monsters. But if pressed, I'd say Silence of the Lambs.

5. No.

1. I wish.

2. I haven't, but I would.

3. Honestly I probably would, but I'll tell you right now I'd struggle lol

4. Gotta be The Exorcist. Gotta be.

5. I feel like there was a Bugs Bunny Halloween themed cartoon that came out every year as a kid but I don't recall much other than some old witch on a broom....hmm will need to investigate

This one with Witch Hazel?

'UFO' videos declassified by US Navy​

Three videos show unidentified aircraft flying at hypersonic speeds.

On Monday (April 27), the three clips — "FLIR," "GOFAST" and "GIMBAL" — appeared for the first time on the Naval Air Systems Command website, available to download through the Freedom of Information Act.

In releasing the videos, the U.S. Navy officially acknowledges that its pilots encountered so-called unidentified aerial phenomena, according to the military news website Military.com

Several times ... including several unidentifiable flying objects.
Here's a quick fun story ... preteen years growing up in Foxboro around 1970 my friends and I would ride our bikes all over town. One summer their was an old abandoned house where the owner had died on Granite Street that we use to sneak into and rummage around the rooms. Nothing of worth just a lot of books, newspapers and other minor items. At the time it seemed pretty scary, being kids and all. Later that summer we were racing our bikes along the roads in Rockhill Cemetery. I came around a turn and heading up a hill when I somehow lost control of my bike. I went flying over the handlebars did a summersault and ended up in front of a tombstone. I looked at the name on the stone ... it was the same name as the guy who once owed that house. I got out of there quickly. Lol.

2) Have you ever taken part in a seance or played on a Ouija board? Results?
Yes as a young preteen who didn't know any better.
Nothing happened at the time, but knowing what I know now doesn't mean a doorway wasn't opened.

3) Would you stay overnight in a reputed haunted house?
I have twice ... in Cedar Key, Florida, the island hotel. Look it up online it's a famous haunted hotel.
I have a fun story about my first night there, too. Maybe I'll share another time.

4) What is your favourite Halloween or scary movie?
I don't really get into that type of movie as most have some sort of demonic theme and I try to avoid deliberately seeking out that sort of thing.
I do like the "Good Witch" TV series though, but that is more mysterious than scary.

5) Do you have a favourite Halloween-ish or ghostly cartoon?
Does original Scooby Doo count?

That would be fun! Years ago, my friend's boyfriend was the manager at an old style theatre - red velvet seats, balconies, etc., and they played Rocky Horror every weekend. I can't imagine how many times I have seen it.

That is what this place is like. It was restored many years ago. I've seen a few plays there, they do a great job.

1. yeah growing up my grandma's house was haunted. All harmless stuff like doors opening and footsteps in the hall, we just figured it was family members since she was the 5th generation to live in the house and the family built it.

2. nope, no desire to either. not gonna risk the whole "opening a portal" thing being accurate.

3. yup, stayed at the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. Was an awesome place and definitely a creepy vibe but the night itself was uneventful.

4. The Shining, House of 1000 Corpses, Salems Lot (1979) and It (the Tim Curry one)

5. cant think of one except for the Great Pumpkin

1. I haven't but my sister has. At the hospital where she works there is a ghost who haunts the place. She is a young woman who lost her baby. She haunts the hospital looking for the baby. The staff call her Mary. My sister has felt her presence more than once. She's not afraid of her apparently she's not that kind of ghost. She just says "Mary the baby isn't here" or "You still looking for the baby Mary?" and she disappears.

2. No I haven't nor will I. I don't want to know.

3. No, I'm a coward.

4. Army of Darkness- because it's funny as hell

5. Witch Hazel with Bugs Bunny

I'm not into Halloween at all, but I do try to watch the Halloween episode of MacGyver every year where he teams up with his arch nemesis Murdoch to rescue Murdoch's sister from HIT..... Homicide International Trust

It's so cheesy and 80s, it makes me laugh

One of my top 5 favorite shows when I was a kid. And there is only one MacGyver. I don't acknowledge the remake at all.
