HALLOWEEN VACATION 2013

Sometimes in the chaos of life, work and even play, a person must take a vacation.  One of my favorite times for vacation, where one just stays home and enjoys the leisure of watching old classic horror movies, contemporary horrors and thrilling ghost stories, relaxing, observing the leaves changing color is Halloween week.  There is something about Halloween which always speaks to the child in me.

As a child I remember dressing up for a special Halloween dress up at the elementary school, a couple blocks from where I grew up.  There, all the children of the class would line up, single file, and then walk through every classroom.  It is one memory which stands out.  I remember that a woman dressed up as a witch, with a long pointy nose and green skin and a talk black witches hat and black gown lead the way.  She had a broom made of sticks and resembled the wicked witch in Wizard of Oz.

I remember that long ago me and my friends had a Halloween dress up party over at my house.  Even my boyfriend, Scott, who later became my husband, was there.  We had an apple bobbing contest and listened to music and told some spooky stories outside in the night air.  I sure miss the old days when trick or treating was fun and dress up was a real challenge when attempting to come up with a unique costume.

Ever since then my Halloweens, as well as all other holidays has been about this beautiful daughter of mine.  Every year she has made my holidays special.  This year, we have decorated the house and shared time together watching thrillers and classic horror movies.  It's always best to watch when you know you're not alone.

GROWING UP IN A HAUNTED HOUSE

2220 N. Armstrong St. Kokomo Indiana My childhood home after the burning by a serial arsonist in July 2001 This is the synopsis idea I sent to Raw Television's Paranormal Witness to later be produced and aired on Syfy Channel on July 10th, 2013.  Understand that this synopsis does not include every story but only touched on some paranormal experiences with Raw Television producers.  It was never intended to be a book here.  The Blog is my synopsis.  Also, remember television chops and edits out everything people say in their interviews and includes only what they want.  If I could have included everything on the 50 minute program in my episode I could have had a full length featured film.  But I wrote this synopsis for a 50 minute program.  It was spliced, chopped up and edited to suit television purposes.  People write me a lot and ask about the inconsistencies.  But what they don't realize is Television has their own agenda and t...

TV PERSONALITY, DEMONOLOGIST AND LITERARY PERFORMER CARL JOHNSON

Carl L. Johnson  By Lana J. Brock Some of you may have heard of Carl L. Johnson.  He is a man with many talents.  He's known by many as a former T.A.P.S. Ghost Hunter member of the original Ghost Hunters team (that's before all the popularity) and had a chance to exercise his Demonologist role while with them.  He and his brother, Keith Johnson, both were involved with the humble beginnings of the televised series of Ghost Hunters, in the first 2 seasons, on the Syfy Channel (then SciFi Channel). Soon after, Carl became independently involved as a Demonologist for the Animal Planet's, "The Haunted".  He participated in 5 episodes of that series where he comes in to offer his assistance in the cleansing of homes infested with demonic activity. Carl, in his abundance of talents, has had a fondness for theatrical literary performances of such classics from Edgar Allan Poe and horror fictional writer H.P. Lovecraft, as he is charismatic and has a flare of c...

EITHER GOD, SATAN, ANGELS, DEMONS, HEAVEN AND HELL EXIST OR THEY DO NOT!

I find it amazing when religious people or even spiritualists claim that 99.99% of all claims of demonic activity is unfounded and that the demonic is rare.  Ridiculous yet, so funny.  I saw so much evidence of the demonic as a child at so many different places to convince me that we are at the mercy of those who try to deceive us with LIES that I needed to get the facts on my own....and to get my own direction and discover the truth.    I find it ridiculous that this is what the spiritual world has been reduced to.  The spiritual realm not only includes the souls of all living things but also 1/3 of the heavenly hosts which fell from God's Grace.  Seeing as how God created a multitude of angels for HIS Praise one must not discount the great multitude of demons which transferred to Earth when 1/3 of the multitude had fallen cursed into the darkness realm of the Earth. The spiritual realm is made up of all of God's creatures whether they are Earth Bas...
