Ghost Pictures?

1/5/2023

So...I missed a post yesterday, I think. Yup, I checked. I did. But it was busy at the job. Back to work for the new year, I guess.

 

I have a new idea. I took a picture in the dark coming off the train a few weeks ago, and I made the picture brighter so you can see things in the back and around the trees and such. There are a few parts that look particularly interesting. I'll let you judge. I'll point out the parts I think are interesting. Pareidolia? Perhaps. But...

 

I enjoy watching those ghost videos on YouTube and the Discovery channels--the exploration videos, as well. Urban exploration. Abandoned buildings, silos, nuclear bunkers. Sometimes they find things more frightening than ghosts just searching alone. One is Franco TV. Some seem more legit than others. One of the things I like about Franco is if he doesn't find anything he doesn't find anything. That simple. Sometimes viewers point things out. It's the exploration that takes up the slack when the ghosts aren't showing themselves. Though. One other element that proves to be alarming is when local individuals are lurking about, following him or threatening him. You fear for him.

 

Other videos on YouTube you know are fake to varying degrees (especially ones from TikTok). Then you have the channels that just show you them and let you make up your own mind. Nukes 5 is great at this. I also like King Frostmare and Chillz. Chillz ran with a unique way of narrating his videos--love it or hate it, he still delivers. Though he's more mainstream--get it out there. He's the fast food of the bunch. Frostmare goes a bit more into it, and then Nuke 5 gives the back story about the videos he puts up.

 

Another I've come across lately is Dark Knight Horror. I love this channel, but sometimes it gives me a sense of sorrow. I guess that may be the intention of the videos, but the sorrow is in the form of a friend going through a problem and I feel for them. Sometimes it brings me down a bit (or could just be I catch them on a Sunday and feel that way because work is the next day, haha). I get the sense that he truly cares for the individuals on a more personal level when he posts. And his videos are a lot longer than the others.

 

So, back to my idea. I took that picture some weeks back and I'm planning on taking more. Just this morning I took a pic of the Bronx River before sunrise. I'll brighten that up, as well, and post it. I heard some strange noises, too. Might have just been the water running. Maybe I'll post a video one day. See what we can see in them. Maybe not just ghosts. Yikes! I hope nothing bad.

 

So hopefully I'm not ready to pass out tonight when I get home from work so I can post it up.

 

Talk soon.

The Brightest Flame

Image
The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
