Exorcist Calls Time On Pub Poltergeist
August 21, 2008 / 17034
A exorcist was called in to purge a haunted pub after it was claimed a ghost tried to kill a barmaid and her brother.
Ghostbuster Ian Lawman, 39, had to take drastic action against the violent poltergeist, believed to be a former landlord at the 230-year-old Crown Inn pub in Farnham Common. Lainie Rutter and her brother, Mitchell, have been living in fear in a small flat at the pub.
They struggled to get a night’s sleep after furniture mysteriously moved across the floor, and shelves fell off the wall. The final straw came for pub owner Mike Orme when a fire broke out and a terrified manager refused to live at the Crown Lane local because of the bizarre goings on. Mr Orme, said: “I have been here for about two years and strange things have happened the entire time.
A flat on the premises constantly had CD-racks falling from the wall in the middle of the night and when an electrical fire broke out in Mitch’s room, we decided to call on the help of a television programme the ‘Living with the Dead’ to help us deal with the problem.” Read more …

August 21, 2008 / 3594
Making a low budget horror film is a great way for an aspiring filmmaker to gain experience. Depending on the film’s distribution, it may also be a way to get noticed by a producer with deep pockets and powerful contacts in Hollywood.
Instructions (Difficulty: Moderately Challenging)
Things You’ll Need:
* Screenplay
* Actors
* Video camera
* Financing
Step1
Figure out what kind of budget you have to work with, and plan your film around it. Decisions must made early on regarding what type of horror film you can afford to make. Above all, do a high estimate of costs to avoid going over budget.
Step2
Find a good script that you can work with, or write one yourself. A decent script is the backbone of any film, and this is no exception with horror movies. You can spend all your time on blood and gore, but without a good plot and believable characters your audience won’t care. Keep your locations to a minimum, and make sure you have access to locations. Get creative, and avoid the typical clichés found in the horror genre. Read more …
‘Ghost Girl’ Is Blamed For Spate Of Crashes
August 20, 2008 / 11083
The ghostly apparition of a girl is being blamed for a series of crashes on a stretch of country road. Spooky sightings of a girl aged about five, in Victorian dress, on a road in the West Midlands are now being investigated by paranormal researchers.
The late-night ‘visions’ are occurring along Oldnall Road in Halesowen, near Birmingham, and are believed to have been responsible for a number of crashes and near-misses in the area in recent years. David Taylor, chairman of the ‘Parasearch’ group which has been investigating the claims, said he had not found a rational explanation so far.
He added: ‘Although the people who have reported the sightings didn’t actually crash, they were close to it because they had to swerve around the apparition and up on to the pavement. ‘It could be an optical illusion of some sort.
‘The area around there is an accident blackspot and there have been some serious incidents, so maybe they had all seen the same thing.’ Mr Taylor has been investigating claims of paranormal activity for 22 years. He said: ‘Most of the time there is a logical explanation but, so far, I haven’t found one for this case.’ Resident Jimmy Lahn, 54, said: ‘We’ve had quite a few accidents on that road. Read more …
