A blog about all things paranormal.

Fake I say, but pretty effective, especially since I haven’t seen anything spooky in almost a month. It shows a very vivid ghostly figure startled on a set of stairs in a castle? The only thing that I see that makes it ghostly is that it’s faintly transparent, oh and some make-up.

Pretty cool camera tricks to, if that’s what they are. It looks like most of the ghost portion of the video was shot by a stationary camera, but the camera zooms in, which would make the simple transparency trick a whole lot harder, but it looks to me that the zoom may have been achieved with software. You just use the software to pan, zoom, crop around the stationary footage which makes it look like the camera is doing all that stuff. Well I hope that’s what has been done in this video, otherwise I’ll just sound like a dick.

If anything I’ve realized a editing trick I hadn’t thought of before.

Here’s the best translation of the video description I could muster.
Italian tourist is to look at the fortress in the town of Livorno recorded the spirit of Beatrice. Dekle je tragično umrlo na dan svoje poroke, skoraj tisoč let od tega. The girl was tragically killed on the day of their marriage, almost a thousand years from that. Je posnetek res pristen? The recording is really genuine?

I’m Back!Today

It’s been just under a month since I decided to take a break from blogging, it’s been good, not as productive as I would have liked, but it’s been nice taking a step back from the paranormal world. For three weeks I didn’t even look at a paranormal website, headline, anything, it was tough though denying my cravings. I wanted to start blogging again a few days ago but after logging into my feed reader it became apperent that it would take me a few days to go through all the headlines. 25,000 headlines later and I’m ready to bring it.

So lets get the mainpage filled with some fresh posts.

I’m Taking a BreakNovember 4

I’m Taking a Break from blogging for a few weeks, just need to refresh myself, get creative and complete some of the things I’ve started for this blog and never finished. I’ll still be responding to comments and emails, what I won’t be doing is what takes up the majority of my time and that’s searching for things to blog about, taking a break from that should give me the time to get things done.

Other than that there’s still the Paranormal Activities forums on offer, it hasn’t really taken off, but I see some potential in it and hopefully after my break I’ll have more time for it.

Also if you have a blog/site yourself you can always add it to the blogroll, plenty of room left there.

And as always feel free to contact me about anything, and remember to subscribe to the feed so you’ll know when I’m back.

See y’all in a few weeks, hopefully with a load of original content.

Fort Delaware Ghost VideoOctober 30

This footage from the Ghost Hunter team has just been added to CNN’s website, not sure why, maybe it’s advertising it.

I’m actually quite confused why CNN has just put it up, I’m sure it’s from an episode that aired months ago, Aura from Encounters with the Unexplained has a nice write up about the location this video was shot, Pea Patch Island, Delaware, Fort Delaware.

If what’s in this video isn’t a person then what is it?

Embedded video from CNN Video

Here’s the link if the video above doesn’t work.

EDIT: Maybe the video will work, maybe it won’t, why can’t these massive corps get there embeds working right.

Close UFO Footage from ItalyOctober 29

When I first saw this UFO video I thought it may have been the best I’d ever seen, so I bookmarked it for research later, that was awhile ago.

The video comes from Italy, I’m unsure as to who filmed it but I think it may be these two people Antonio Urzi, Simona Sibilla. They have a website called contattomassivo which is heavily dedicated to the video below, along with other UFO picture, videos they have taken, but it’s kind of a pain to navigate.

The UFO seems like a physical object, not computer generated, we get a very close up very detailed view of the object and it appears to be moving around. In the very beginning there is a brief glimpse of something for reference other than the clouds. Other than that I’m stumped, a few things that bother me though, at times when viewing the video I get the feeling that the object could be smaller than it appears, also some of the camera movements remind of some experiments I’ve done with sticking things to windows.

One more thing which I think I’m starting to say a lot, this could be the best footage in the world, but a lot of the issues I see that people have with it is no reference or you could say no context, once the UFOs gone please don’t stop recording, record your surroundings, record yourself, give us a little context with the fact, not at a later date.
