Artimus Pyledriver

I like many different kinds of music / bands, each for a personal reason. The primal / pagan part of me loves this type of music. This music is like a drum circle. It calls all the primal earthly Horned God spirits of hunting, running, jumping, feeding and mating. This music calls to all my male ancestors who have gone before me to the great beyond.

Getting ready for Scream Fest 2008

Spooky Empire puts on Florida's Largest Horror Convention called Scream Fest. Out of the past six years I have attended three and this year is thelargest show to date. The pic is ofBill Hinzman from Night of the Living Dead and I from last year [see more photos from last year]. This year it is October 17-19. Bring money for autographs and earplugs for bands. Not that they are bad but because they are loud! Take a look at the guest list here.

The Hamilton Family fonds

Do you like Creepy old photos of Creepy old people doing Creepy old stuff? Then read on.

Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton began to experiment with psychic phenomena in his home in Winnipeg, Canada shortly after the death of his son in 1918. His aims were: to investigate “paranormal phenomena such as rappings, psychokinesis, ectoplasms, and materializations under scientific conditions that would minimize any possibility of error”. He amassed records and kept material pertinent to his investigations into the numerous aspects of spiritualism until his death in 1935, where his legacy was then continued by his wife, Lillian.

The records they kept of their findings and experiments were gathered in various formats such as scrapbooks, automatic writings, newsclippings, books, photographs, glass plate negatives and catalogue a variety of subjects such as “rappings, clairvoyance, trance states and trance charts, telekinesis, wax moulds, bell-ringing, transcripts and visions, as well as teleplasmic manifestations”.

A selection of the photographic plates - which, it must be said are very much ‘of their time’ and show the typical ‘cheesecloth’ ectoplasm apparently emerging from the medium’s nose and mouth - can also be seen on YouTube (below).

Not so scary

A video of something not so scary unless your scared of heights! I like the sound of the fire blowing into the balloon. You can hear them from inside the house getting closer and closer.
