AN " ANYTHING GOES" DEDICATED HALLOWEEN THREAD

[Bloof]

Soooo, I attended the Manchester Hill Seance. It was a purely for entertainment only experience in my opinion. Some people were genuinely scared and I thought they were going to have to leave. The host claimed a triple murder suicide had happened in the house roughly 35 years ago. A teenage boy had killed his younger sister, both parents and had remained in the house 3 days before hanging himself. During the seance a picture fell off a wall and the piano played a couple of times. We also had tour of the house and used a ouija in the basement. I wasn't scared and was able to figure out a few "occurances". But it was well done and fun.

Sounds like it was a lot of fun!

It was fun! The house had the funkiest smell though. Not like death or anything. Mold and old wall panelling. And for some strange reason there was vegetation hanging from light fixtures randomly throughout the house. The house is up on a slight hill hidden by trees.

I wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in that house. Mold allergy.

I wouldn't have lasted 5 miles away...superstitions.

This surprises me. Have you experienced something paranormal that makes you worry?

[Dead Bad Things]

Just my pagan beliefs Bloof...the spirit world is always around us ...the fabric we call reality is very thin...'specialy on this point of the wheel.

Ya, when I checked him out, and even specifically the Manchester Hill Seance (he's done it multiple years), I knew it wasn't a 'real' seance, just a show, but I surely wasn't gonna tell you and ruin the scene.

On youtube he was interviewed by a local news TV station guy, where the story is slow news day advertisement. He came right out and said the seance was a simulation. Then the newsman actually said he was there the year before and there was knocking on wall and those kinds of things. So you know what it is. Plus, like you said, he takes the title of a mentalist, which is really being honest about using psychology to fool people for entertainment purposes. He even demonstrated how he 'fools' people with the newsguy.

Glad you had fun! How'd you sister hold up?

She was fine. That actually gave me a bit of a clue that the house had no "tragic or evil" past. She would normally have to leave a room if things were pulling at her or she sensed something. But she had a lot of fun too. It's a unique experience.
