Goldfield Hotel - Flying brick or flying schtick?

Yes, I am as much as sucker as the next person in watching ghost TV shows. Last fall I tuned in to Ghost Adventures because they were visiting one of my favorite scary places - The Goldfield Hotel (click here for story) and while I can't vouch for the lead investigator (I love it when a man runs and screams like a wee girl - does a lot for ratings), I still can't figure out the brick. The rest of the show had some great footage, watch for reruns! :)

Look closely for the flying brick. Is it real or movie magic?

Ask a Ghost Hunter

I love hearing from people about their experiences with the living impaired. Through the years, I've responded to hundreds of emails from people around the world wanting to know more about what the heck is going on in their house - or under their sink - or beneath the flowerbed. Today I've opened up a blog forum to answer some of those questions so others can see they're not alone and perhaps we can get through this wacky time together.

Please visit my new blog: Ask a Ghost Hunter (yes, I know, inspired title). Drop me a line at info-at-weeghosties.com with your questions and I'll answer them on the blog or in a personal email if you don't wish it published.

Happy Haunting!

Ghost in the mirror

Ok, I’ll admit it; mirrors freak me out. Aside from the usual wake-up shock I get every morning, I just don’t feel comfortable around big shiny things that can blind you in sunlight and let in the shadows at night. Alice had it all wrong, stay on this side of the looking glass.

There are many stories of the supernatural being trapped behind the smooth perfection of glass, remember the Magic Mirror in Snow White? Perhaps it wasn’t just a story after all, take away the woodland creatures and you have a witch talking to a ghost in a mirror. You will always find a large ugly mirror with chipping silver backing in old movies, I think it’s the same one in every film before 1972. About 20 feet tall and gothic, it features every freakish monster you could imagine creeping up on a blonde brushing her hair in her underwear.

Mirrors seem to catch the breath of its subjects. There's always the chance that they see more than we do and keep its secret.

Happy Friday the 13th!
