Friday, March 6th, 2009

Unlike the fake EMF Meter App, this one is a real game, and actually kind of fun!  iPhone fans, check it out!

According to TUAW:

Ghost Buddy [App Store link] puts you in the middle of a graveyard at night to try and help some good ghosts and capture the baddies. The US$0.99 game has a unique form of game play. You use your iPhone/iPod touch like a virtual ghost viewer. As you move the phone up, down, left and right your view changes, so you get a 360 degree view of the foggy and spooky graveyard. You can move freely, even look straight down, or up above toward the sky. The good ghosts are white, and you have to return them to their graves. The bad ghosts are red, and you must defend against them.

New iPhone App Pretends To Be App

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Just when I thought there wasn’t anything the iPhone can’t do…well, there’s still one thing it can’t do.  Be an EMF meter.  But if you want to pretened, you can download Paranormal State’s EMF Meter app from the App store.

That kid from the show is still a goof ball though.

Ghost hunters find evidence of the circumstantial kind

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Here’s some ground breaking journalism for ya’
Paranormal Investigators and some professors investigated a reportedly haunted section of their college. Great! What did they find? Circumstantial Evidence. I guess they can rest easy now.

If it’s a story worth reporting, maybe they could give us a peek at some of the circumstantial evidence?  Or, at least tell us they only caught some dust orbs.

A Haunting in Connecticut

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Finally, after all of the reruns of the dramatization on Discovery Channel, it looks like “In a Dark Place” has made it to the big screen.  The original book, In a Dark Place, by Ray Garton (and Ed and Lorraine Warren) attempted to tell the story of Al and Carmen Snedecker with an “Amityville-esqu” plot.  However, as Ray Garton states in an interview with Amityville Horror debunker, Ric Osuna, Al and Carmen could not get their stories straight and was suspicious of the authenticity of the haunting.

I tend to give Ray Garton the benefit of the doubt, as Ed and Lorraine have had credibility issues in the past.  I’m not sure whether the story was completely embellished or not, but, I am sure that it was exaggerated.  I’m looking forward to the movie though, because I tend to enjoy supernatural horror more than blood and guts gore.  You can check out the trailers at http://hauntinginconnecticut.com.

I wonder if John Zaffis will play John Zaffis?
