The Mercy Brown Vampire Incident

This is for all my vampire enthusiasts and Twilight fans out there.
This is the strange case that happened in 1892. The body of Mercy Brown was exhumed to perform "rituals to banish an undead manifestation".
The family of George and Mary Brown were from Exeter, R.I. The mother and two daughters Mary Olive, Mercy and son Edwin all contacted consumption (aka Tuberculosis). The mother and the two daughters died of the disease. And was buried at the Baptist Church in Exeter.
Family and friends were in fear of Edwin's life (or just worried about him becoming an "undead").

During the 19th century they use of the word "undead" was widely used  instead of vampire. There are many methodology and folklore about multiple deaths. What happened in this case.George Brown was told by the townsmen to exhume the bodies of his loved ones. Only Mercy didn't decompose and still had blood in her heart. This was seen as a sign that she was an "undead" (she died during the cold of winter). The heart was removed and both the heart and blood were mixed together with water to make a drink for Edwin (some say it was burnt to create ashes). Alas he died two months later.
PS: There was another vampire incident a century before Mercy's. In Rhode Island!

Another Ghost caught on Security CCTV

I know that the footage is a bit long. But, you have to watch the "entire" video. I watched it twice. Do I think it's a ghost? For me, this is a good sample of what I have personally experienced. Again, notice that the lights are on. The most intriguing part is when the janitor enters the room. It seems to know to disappear. But, reappeared when he was about to enter the elevator. Let me know what you think?

Haunted Summer Vacations Continue: Amberian Peaks Lodge, Greer, AZ

I love a good mystery. And this particular story is a great one. In my past post I've mentioned about Celebrity Ghost Stories is coming back July 17th.
In the last series they had quite a bit of strange stories. The main one was the interview with David Carradine. He passed away shortly afterward of his taping in the show. The interview on the show parallelled his death. http://www.tmz.com/person/david-corroding/
The second weird story is Ernie Hudson of the GB fame. As the story goes. He was asked by a hotel in Greer, AZ (as he said, "Of all places!") to come and visit. He said sure, and went with his wife and young son at the time. He was told by the owners that the place is haunted by a man and his bride that he just married. He killed her in one of the rooms there. It seems Mr. Hudson was not really a believer until the night he slept there. He saw a bright orb hovering on top of his son that was sleeping in the other bed. He woke up his wife. She witnessed it also.  Then he saw a dark figure standing by the door. Both he and his wife were both staring at the figure. Then his son woke up and saw the same figure. They all ran down the hall to another room.  Where they opened the door to feel a cold breeze go through them. Just one thing about this story. He never mentions the name of the hotel.

Fast Forward: A paranormal group did a little research due to the fact that they live out west. The only place that fits the description of the Amberian Peaks Lodge. When I was looking up the hotel's website they make a mention that it was abandoned when they found it. And, a "little" mention of a ghost. What a strange intriguing story. Hope someone takes a visit there to check out who the ghost is?

The only mention of "ghosts". But, it doesn't fit Mr. Hudson's story.

Does Revisiting The Same Haunted Location Over And Over, Scare Spirits Away?

Yesterday's radio show "Ghost Chronicles International" touched on this topic from a question from a listener on June 23rd.
http://toginet.com/shows/ghostchroniclesinternational
So, do ghosts pack up and leave? They stated there was a place that is very well known (they didn't want to mention the name) that for about 6 months there has not been any "haunted" activity whatsoever. This is a place that was a field day to any investigator for evp's, sightings, etc. So, what happened?
No one knows? Or, understands? But, remember, they were real people too at one time. Maybe at first they wanted to communicate. Perhaps to contact a living relative or loved one. But instead they are in contact with strangers. After awhile the same investigators come back. And, they are called by name by a spirit. Maybe the spirit is hoping that you (the investigator) can help them in the plight.
The other question for me is: Do they come back? Or, do they go somewhere else?
I've personally seen the situation that a spirit appears. For whatever reason? And disappear.

So, should a place not have people come in too often? Basically, giving them (the spirits) a rest? This is a very good question! Or, maybe visit a place. But, just don't disturb the spirits. Let them contact you.  Maybe this way they'll try to commicate again. Remember, they have plenty of time on their hands.

Ghost Chronicles International Online Radio

Just listened to a very interesting show, "Ghost Chronicles International" with Ron Kolek and Richard Felix (Most Haunted). Tuesdays from 3-4PM EST. It's an interactive show, email, phone, chat.
Today special guest was Ciaran O'Keefe (Most Haunted). This was one interesting show. Loved all the questions the listeners sent in. I don't want to give anything away. Don't want to spoil it for you.

I recommend listening for today's show June 23rd. You'll hear them answer my question that I asked, "Why don't paranormal investigators investigate apartments (like NYC)?"
