""Phantoms Fill the Skies Around You"" 2003-04-23 - 4:03 a.m.

older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj

nothing much happened today

got my van up and running

it still starts kind of funny, but I think that may just be the new starter getting "broken in"

if starters even need to be broken in

'cause if it's not that then either A) I didn't screw the bolts on tight enough;

or B) My van just eats starters like dogs eat bones

which would make my van evil, so I hope it's not B

anyway

I was watching this wierd show on the SciFi Channel about the most violent case of haunting in history

apparently there's only one other recorded occurence similar to it in history

and it was hardcore, too

it wasn't like doors opening and closing and shit

it started with this women in San Pedro, California

and wierd shit was happening in her house

these investigators came and got most of this either on video tape or photographed it; so it was either for real or the single most elaborate hoax in the history of mankind

anyway

this ghost made plasma drip from the inside of cabinets

[not just blood, the plasma from blood; which is a substance that can only be seperated in a laboratory]

it made noises like someone was walking around in the attic

loud noises, like some big guy in boots was just stomping around

they had it on one of the videos, you could hear it clear and loud as hell

but the single most hardcore moment came when all the investigators were up in the attic

they were all up there,

and the woman and her friends/neighbors/family/or whatever were standing at the steps or whatever below the attic

well the ghost made a noise like someone snapping their fingers down with them

so they yell "hey, he's down here!"

to the investigators

so the investigators start to come down, but the last one up in the attic is this camera guy

well, this clothesline that hadn't been in the attic before; it loops around his neck, and then pulls tight against the roof of the attic, in effect hanging him

think about that

this ghost took a clothesline that wasn't in the attic before, and tried to hang someone with it

fortunately someone was close enough to get him down in time; but he got a couple pictures of the guy being hung, and it's disturbing

anyway, so not long after that the woman says: "that's too much", and packs her family and hits the road

she moves into this trailer in northern-ish California

but the f'ing ghost follows her

now that's hardcore

anyway, after some more shit happens there;

she moves back to San Pedro, this time to an apartment in a different part of town

and again the ghost follows her

doing the usual poltergeist shit

but the wierdest thing is, the ghost started to follow the investigators back to their appartment

the burners on their stove would turn on,

motherfucking scissors would go flying around the place;

and it even broke a window

after a while it did one night of absolute hardcore shit at their appartment,

stuff was moving and flying around everywhere all night long,

and then it stopped

the poltergeist activity both at the investigator's appartment and the woman's house slowed and stopped

and that was about thirteen years ago

but the part of the story that's the reason I'm telling you all this shit occured at the woman's trailer

one night, not much was happening

and so the investigators got bored and apparently decided to antagonize the fucking ghost

and they whipped out a Ouija board

now apparently, most times someone uses a Ouija board in a situation like that, the thing moves slowly and forms letters that could kinda be made into words; and it's real vague

but when they did it; the table was shaking violently

and the indicator thingy practically flew around the board, forming clear and complete answers so fast that they had to just write down the letters as fast as they could and figure out the sentence later

they found out that it was this sailor that had been murdered in San Pedro in 1930; and that the reason he was picking on the guy he tried to hang[he did other stuff to him too, I just didn't get into it in the interest of keeping this as succinct as possible], was that the guy was "the likeness of his killer"

of course, they didn't think to ask why he had been picking on that poor woman in the first place before the ghost broke up the game by slamming the cameraman(yes, the same one) against the wall

[and not just sliding him or pushing him either; the ghost picked him up and threw him against the wall]

but the main thing that's been messing with me is:

they asked him; "are there any other spirits around?"

and he replied:

"phantoms fill the skies around you"

obviously you don't have the creepy music and atmosphere of the show; and the big, gothic font to make that seem as deep as it did to me; but try and let that sink in for a sec

that's big

the only thing to really say to that is: "wow"

but of course, I can't take that too seriously

because that thought is always accompanied by: "gee, I hope there's no ghosts watching me masturbate"

Sweet Dreams
