Admirable, Yet Creepy

Monday, January 26th, 2009

A Japanese company has been selling rubber Barack Obama masks in the thousands. This is awesome except that the masks look like he’s shouting (or he’s a “love doll”).

Nigerian police apprehended an auto theft suspect . . . after the suspect had transformed himself into a goat by magical means.
Europe had similar problems in the Middle Ages.

The Brady Bunch: Deleted Scene

The phrase “X-rated swimming pool” almost appeared on the Brady Bunch . . . their new neighbors, the Bellfields, were into naked kids.

The Haunting in Connecticut

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

• Almost 20 years ago, the Snedeker family moves into a suburban home in Southington, Conneticut. The rent was a bargain – the house was previously a funeral home.

• Two of the sons were subjected to living in the basement: the former basement morgue was now “the boys’ room.” Apparently morgue equipment was still stored/abandoned in the basement.

• Members of the household reported odd smells and seeing and hearing odd things. A religious family, they ascribed these incidents to demons.

• The eldest son, who lived in the morgue/basement, underwent significant personality changes: becoming angry, moody, and dark – including writing poetry about necrophilia [link]. The eldest son is eventually institutionalized for a period of time.

• The family welcomes paranormal investigators and a priest into their home. The priest exorcizes the home, expelling the “demons.”

• This series of events has produced a book “In a Dark Place”, a Discovery Channel documentary, and soon a feature film “The Haunting in Conneticut” [trailer below].

* NOTE: Mortuary embalming commonly entails the use of phenol, methanol, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and ethanol. Some of these are notably carcinogenic, most are toxic, and prolonged exposure to some of these can cause delirium/hallucinations.

Yeah.
Demons.
