Amen to that!

Hello Dandelion and B-Two, hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving! And everyone else too even if your overseas, party hardy in honor of Thanksgiving.

Good cheer to all of you in our cozy places around this roaring fire in the hearth with the snow or the smog swirling on the cold December wind. Pass that brandy sir and continue your story, whats that about a ghost of Christmas past? I wish you'd get back to that fine chap Pip, I really liked that one.

Anybody ever hear of the Chowder Society?

Yes (sneaking).

Then you probably know some good ghost stories. Even at this festive time of year I can't help being drawn to the macabre. Once some friends of mine went into a graveyard at night and turned a tape recorder on, later when they played it back you could hear strange moaning sound and voices murmuring. My sister also had an incident, she and her boyfriend bought a painting at a yard sale and it was three horses from the neck up. The one in the middle had red eyes. The painting was titled Redrum, like in The Shining. She hung it in a sunroom in the back of her house. Not long after strange things began to occur. Doors started opening by themselves even when a heavy object like a stack of magazines was placed in front of it. Then Danny started seeing late at night a red hazy glowing mass in the hallway. You could put your hand in front of it or behind it and it wouldn't make a shadow and then it would fade. They heard weird music just almost beyond hearing like in the far distance. So after this goes on for a while, they decide to video tape. They set it up and they didn't see anything but heard moans and it shook a little. Seems like they said they might have seen a flash of some kind and then it stopped taping or something. So my sister who usually doesn't get wrapped up in that sort of thing went at the urging of a friend to a fortune teller (not kidding). She explained what happened and did not mention the painting. The woman told her to get rid of the painting, that it was painted by an evil man who had murdered someone. They got rid of it, he actually put it on his ex-wifes portch. Well, things did not stop. Then they thought of the video tape and they burned it and it all stopped. Does anyone else have a ghost story or haunting they would like to share???

By the way, when I was a kid and even now to some extent, A Christmas Carol terrified me at least the scary parts.

Alpha Centauri, Mr. B's preferred destination.
As a kid, this was the imaginative stuff of prime time viewing.

Today we have, what!?, MTV Live In Episodes. The new reality to strive for - right! Wonderful.

Interesting that they opened with and used quite a bit f Bernard Herrmann's music from "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and even a little of the Bebe's "Forbidden Planet" too!

Right-o, SD! I knew I recognized that opening theme from somewhere else!!
