B is for Bigfoot

Bigfoot Is Real: From Sasquatch to the Adominable Snowman (2 Discs)Do you like sitting alone in the woods at night being paranoid, listening for odd noises, and on the lookout for strange flashes of light? Then you might have what it takes to be a Bigfoot researcher. Jack Links aren't the only ones messin' with Sasquatch. Not only is the hunt for Bigfoot alive and well in America, it might be the next big thing after ghosthunting. You can join the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) and learn how to track down that big, hairy man of your dreams.

    Sue,

    Two letters and two laughs--one for the Jack's Links reference, and one for recalling a Bugs Bunny 'toon I hadn't thought about in better than 20 years.

    So. Just bookmarked your blog.

    Looking forward to your C.

    Best,

    Hi Joe! Thanks for coming by. But uh-oh, now I've set a standard I need to live up to... Maybe I'll grab a Twix so I can think about it. ;)

    I was on board until you mentioned the "big hairy man of your dreams." Then I could only think of Peter Griffin having his back shaved and purring like a walrus.

    But I'm excited to be even more scared in the future!

    Hi Dexter! Thanks for coming by! But from now on I will always think of Bigfoot as just a guy with a serious back hair problem... :P

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

Arrival 2nd Day (9/19/2015) This weekend our crew headed out to T rans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum as an impromptu #Zoinks2015 vacation. The town of Weston, nestled in the mountains and forests of West Virginia, is about as charming as any little town that harbors an enormous lunatic asylum deserves to be. The first surprise was that the asylum wasn't off at some distance from the town. It was literally a couple of blocks from main street. The grounds are lovely, and if you didn't know that it was reported as one of the most haunted places, I'm not sure it would be your first thought. Yes, it's large and imposing, but so are a long list of public buildings you wouldn't think twice about entering. Arrival 1st Day (9/18/2015) Entertainingly, we have two "first impressions" of the place. On Friday we arrived 10pm at night for the Rocky Horror Show, so although there's something inherently creepy about rolling up to a haunted building in the da

The Little Light

We've kept a flashlight under the table in our bedroom for a long time. It's one of those monster-sized lights for emergencies and on the top of it is a smaller second light. It had been under that table a long time without incident and then one night we realized the little light was on, casting a pale wash of blue light up the wall in that corner. Slightly creepy but not a big deal and we turned it off. The next night it was on again. And the next. At this point we teased each other that our oldest cat, who had passed away that month at the age of 18, was turning it on. As she wasn't usually allowed in the bedroom we thought she would consider it good fun to spend some of her afterlife in there. The light stopped turning on and things were back to normal.  Some time later our second oldest cat passed away (also 18 by then) and within a few days the light was on. The Rational Human Reaction kicked in at that point. Perhaps it had been on more than we realized and we just h

Creepy Pasta and You

By -
If you haven't searched the internet for creepy stories, you may not have heard of Creepy Pasta . A brief primer on Creepy Pasta: the term is a bastardization for the word copy and paste (which is often called copy pasta) and refers to, generally, anonymous stories that are shared through copy and paste methods. Those of you who have trawled for Creepy Pasta know that it is largely hit or miss. Some of them are really creepy and stay in your head for a while. Fortunately, the popular ones tend to be the good ones (as these are the ones people want to share). The eerie thing about Creepy Pasta is the unsettling feeling like some of it is real. Some of them are urban legends, modified, and it's easy to pick those out. Others, though, make you wonder: Is this a good attempt to scare, or a genuine cry for help?
