Some highlights of Alleged Haunted Locations on Wikipedia

Leap Castle, Ireland: “The fourth night, she got up and practiced a black magic occult summon. When she finished, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around, and saw a creature that was half-man, half-sheep that smelled like rotting corpses.”
Bobby Mackey’s Music World, United States: a country-western nightclub in Wilder, Kentucky is reputed to be “a gateway to Hell.”
Hampton Court Palace, England: “On December 21, 2003, CCTV footage allegedly showed someone in 16th century clothes and no face closing a firedoor that, though locked, was constantly being opened without anyone near it.” (Just the no face part is creepy.)
Quesnel and District Museum and Archives, Australia: “This museum is home to a doll named Mandy who is reported to be or have been possessed.”

Yeah, Mandy.

Other Sarah Brown Update

Megan, Joanna, Kelly, Dominique, Anne, Elise, Rachel and Caitlin are all in for Cape Fear. Megan needs to get a definite head count so that they can just get there, sit back, and enjoy the beach and some rugby. $119 for hotel and entry fee. Rachel would like to tell all the Maybes to GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS! This is a sweet ass tournament, perhaps the best she’s ever played in. Dominique would like to add that Meat can’t drive because Dominique will be slashing the other three tires on her car just to be a douche. Elise loves Dom.

No such luck

The Fantisight, by Pierce

I had an inappropriate dream this weekend, the kind you have about a friend or coworker or someone you barely knew in school, and suddenly you blush when you see them or think about them. Nothing actually happened in the dream, but it was about to, which is close to how it’s been in real life before, which is what made me nervous. And also what made me try to fall back asleep and catch the end of it after I woke up.

I got a new shirt.

Fever Dream Ghost Book
My new book will be done in a couple of weeks, so won’t you help me clear a few more of these off the shelves?
Fever Dream Ghost Book is a collection of 15 stories about ghosts.
Here are the some of the sentences it includes:
You won’t be the last person to die in this house.
She is speaking Japanese in reverse, and has flames tearing at the insides of her eyes.
I put my lips to your ear and whispered every secret I’ve ever kept.
All night I kept getting emails from people I thought were dead.
“You’re not dying,” Diego said. “You just ate too much ice cream.”

Zombie meme

I love this meme.
You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. One weapon.
2. One song blasting on the speakers.
3. One famous person to fight alongside you.

Weapon can be real or fictional; you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.

1. The throwing swords you get with full heart chambers in the original Zelda

2. “Dedicated To the One I Love” by The Mamas and The Papas

3. Dr. Peter Venkman

Sabrage: “Be careful not to chop off your thumb. A full swing of the sabre isn’t necessary; also if one’s aim is especially poor, it’s possible (though difficult) to strike the hand holding the bottle.”
