Jessica Ogletree posted a picture taken by her 13-year-old daughter to Facebook that had a little something extra looming in the background. No we’re not talking about her brother in the green shirt. Look a little closer at the shadowy figure (Did your eyes widen, because ours sure did!).
“Notice my son Kolton in the background and then notice the gentleman standing to his right!!!” Jessica posted on Facebook.
There’s just one problem with the man in the background. According to Jessica, he doesn’t exist! (Gasp!)
“Ya’ll this gentleman was NOT with them today and there was no one else at these back ponds where they were fishing. The only people there today were Haley, Kolton and their grandparents…”
According to her mother, Haley was going back through pictures she had taken during the day and noticed the (dare we say it), “ghost man.” Like any good teenager, she freaked out and called her mom. Mom wasn’t so much freaked out as she was excited.
“I personally think it’s pretty cool because today is Kolton’s birthday and he caught the biggest fish he’s ever caught! It looks like the man is happy for him!”
An art group named ‘Anonymouse’ has opened a new chain of miniature restaurants designed to specifically cater for mice in Sweden. The quaint 70cm x 30cm (about 25×12 inch) stores, located in the Swedish city of Malmo, offer everything a modern-day mouse would need, including a wide selection of nuts and cheeses, to notices about upcoming mouse events.
I would hope that the company tries stopping the glitch from occurring again. Though many users of Facebook probably feel dead inside anyway, it becomes a false profile on social networks…. and when the founder is presumed fatally wounded, stocks could suffer.
So here’s to you, Facebook user! Hope you had a good social.
Ronald Clark O’Bryan is remembered as the man who killed Halloween … a nicknamed along with the “CANDY MAN.”
His actions also began decades of parents ferociously searching their kids’ candy bowls after trick or treating ended each year.. something that continues until even today…
Every time you see local or state police offering up free X-Ray scans of candy on Halloween, think of O’Bryan…
He killed his own child Timothy, who was aged 8, with cyanide-laced sugar sticks..
O’Bryan was 30 when he did it.. the town of Pasadena Texas was rocked..
One house along the route was dark, but the children still rang the doorbell. There was no answer, so they moved on.
O’Bryan lagged behind and then, moments later, came running to catch up. He was waving five giant Pixy Stix, 22-inch straws filled with flavored sugar.
He told the kids it was their lucky day, because “rich neighbors” were distributing “expensive treats.”
Each of the three children on the walk got one Pixy Stix. Later, O’Bryan gave the fourth to Bates’ other child, a 5-year-old daughter. The final Pixy Stix went to a trick-or-treat visitor who rang the doorbell at the Bates house.
Timothy ate only a bit of the Pixy Stick when he said the taste was bitter.. moments later he was in pain and he was screaming and crying for his Daddy–the same daddy who was killing him..
Police interviewing the Candy Man become suspicious of his story – a story involving a neighbor giving the poison candy.. The man who was actually accused of the candy kill was not even there, and have 200 people take his side. On the other hand, O’Bryan, an optician who worked for Texas State Optical, was about $100,000 in debt, had lost his house, and was on the verge of losing his car.He was also about to lose his job because his bosses had discovered that he was stealing. In the decade before the crime, he had been booted from 21 other positions… And he had just taken out a $60,000 in life insurance on his children.
Detectives were never able to pin down the source of the cyanide, but several witnesses at O’Bryan’s trial, which started in May 1975, told of his interest in obtaining the poison and how much it would take to kill. His sister-in-law also said that at the boy’s funeral the grieving dad mused about using the insurance money to take a long vacation.
“The only inescapable conclusion is that this man killed his own flesh and blood for money,” Prosecutor Mike Hinton told the court. “Think how easy it would be for him to kill a stranger for money.”
The jury took 46 minutes to find O’Bryan guilty and worthy of the death penalty.
Appeals dragged on for nearly 10 years, and O’Bryan maintained he was innocent to the end.
On March 31, 1984, “The Candy Man” had a last supper of steak, French fries, peas and Boston cream pie before his execution by lethal injection. As the sentence was carried out, demonstrators in Halloween masks stood outside the prison, yelling “Trick or Treat!”
The long term effects of this story are obvious. People got an idea that candy in general was unsafe.. that parents should be ensuring the security of their children.. Halloween, a season that is meant to be scary in a sense anyway, got even scarier. Until this time in the 1970s, Halloween had a quaint and mostly pleasant appeal across the United States. It was tamed highly from the early onset of the holiday during the beginning part of the 20th century. The CANDY MAN ruined the safety net that existed.. kids did not venture out alone anymore.. there were time limits put onto trick or treating by towns, usually a two-hour limit where you have to walk as fast as possible to hit up as many houses as you can while parents safely watch from a close distance. The arrival back home usually consists of candy being emptied onto a big table and each article of sweets being examined by a careful mom or dad.. And then, perhaps, you’ll be able to eat some after the questionable pieces have been properly disposed of..
All of this brewed from the mania and evil of one horrible father, who choose money over his own son’s life and murdered him. Destroying not only a life but also the entire season of the witch for good.
A number of clown related social media posts were displayed this past weekend regarding threats towards school districts in Pennsylvania and throughout the country. Some threats stated that a clown would arrive at the school and “shoot all students and teachers,” while another threat stated they “weren’t clowning around.” Most of the social media posts were attributed to a “clown joke,” possibly linked to numerous clown sightings throughout the nation and the world.
These sightings have not been validated and there are no known threats to schools in Pennsylvania. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to their closest police department. Over the last few months, “creepy clowns” have been reported throughout the United States and the world. The media has reported incidents where clowns have stood on the street not moving or speaking, to incidents where creepy clowns attempted to lure children into wooded areas. These sightings have occurred in Wisconsin, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri, Colorado, Oregon, and Texas.
They go on to give information on how to contact the police should clowns attack..
I feel ‘oxy cuted’ .. you know that product, right? No, not the pimple meditation.. the other stuff that Billy Mays sold before his death.
Ocyclean?
There is a problem, of course.. the product, despite what I always thought, is not called Oxyclean. It is OXICLEAN. With an I not a Y.
Really..
Don’t believe me? Look it up..
I know, I know.. impossible! You recall the ads that said ‘oxycute’ dirt..Or pimples.. you know that the “oxy” was a reference to oxygen somehow being used in conjunction with the cleaner..? Am I way off base here?
But that is not what this timeline is serving up to you.
But this Oxy….I mean Oxiclean issue is the most recent type of time slip I have experienced that actually, well, angered me. Anger because it just stopped making sense. Angry because my sanity feels in jeopardy so often when I delve into this whole time slip notion.
You and I have heard the scientists and experts pooh pooh the Mandela Effect theory.. mass hallucination! Sure, tens of thousands of people remember the BerenSTEIN Bears.. and yes, so many—including me—recall King Henry VIII holding a giant turkey leg in a painting that was pictured in history books in the 1980s.. The list goes on and it is being added to daily. Check Mandelaeffect.com for the complete annals of alternative history. It is an amazing site that no one can replicate.. Add your own commentary and voice to it as well.
With the latest Oxyclean or Oxiclean conundrum I experienced, it reminded me of another recent topic that I did not write about: The movie DAZED AND CONFUSED. No, it was not a good film. It was that typical early 90s teen angst not so funny type of movie.. But it also has created a chapter in the history books of Mandela Effect lure. Did you ever hear of the theory that there was a land mass off of the coast of Australia? It was a large mass and many thousands of people recall it—oddly they all recall it in around the same vicinity. There is no recorded evidence of this mass, or as some have dubbed it, Taured, existing. (also Google the MAN FROM TAURED for some creepy late night reading) .. However, a brief classroom scene from the film DAZED AND CONFUSED may add to the mystery. During the short snipped, there is actually a globe spinning that seemingly has that creepy now vanished land mass!
I went through the normal notion that it was a mistake. Just a misprinted map used in the film. Heck maybe even intentionally done. But this was in 93, long before the Mandela Effect theory. Then I thought, perhaps, the island shaped something was just a map legend. Or a logo of the company who printed it.. But it looks to island-shaped to be such. Or maybe so many people remember the map from DAZED AND CONFUSED that they became dazed and confused and recall this map as real history?
Frankly, none of it makes sense.
So why would a little dumb movie be the key to the Mandela Effect? I have no clue. Perhaps the giant computer programmer in the sky forgot this movie even existed, so much so that the computer code erasing history never was updated the correct way?!
And why would Oxyclean now have an I…?
What if this…super computer popping into parallel dimdimensionsd messing with the timeline not only there, but also here? Sounds like fiction. But get this. (link) The website HACKED reported a year ago that a venture capitalist for the D-Wave computer system announced it had broke the 1000 qubit barrier and that some weird things are now happening.. The managing director of the company, Steve Jurveston, said that now super computers have become so powerful that they actually harness the computing power of huge numbers of parallel universes! Pretty quantum and crazy…
Can we blame D-Wave?
Can you blame CERN?
And …why ..
And why..
And you know what is coming up? September 22. Or the 23rd. That is the date when some weird stuff happens. At least some speculate such.
So in moments like this, during times of frustrating no-answer question sessions, the best thing to do is sit back, pop in Forest Gump and realize you misquoted it your entire life (or did you) and eat a big giant turkey leg.
A local FOX affiliate in South Carolina quoted someone saying ‘this is serious’ after yet another incident of a clown occurrence took place in the state. The latest took place on August 31.. The complainant, a woman, told officers that a person dressed as a clown was standing in her backyard. She snapped a photo and the person ran off. Police said the responding officer tried to view the photo on the woman’s phone but the image was too dark to make out… The closest SC had to proof yet! Unfortunately it is shrouded in the darkness of the night.
But get this: It is not just South Carolina suddenly fearful.
Coulrophobia – the fear of clowns – might seem like an old-joke from the 1990s – but more and more people are signing up to it.
In recent years, clown masks have become a new favourite to intimidate and scare people.
I don’t want to toot my own horn too much (but I am on the cutting edge of pop culture! I swear I am!) but I predicted this a few weeks ago. When one little article popped up regarding clowns, I went to my Facebook page and alerted readers that clown season was coming back again.
Clowns behaving badly. People dressing like clowns.
The autumn winds and early seasonal changes make this time of year perfect for clown scares.. Seriously. The night begins to creep in .. clowns symbolize the end of life (the big inflated noses and white skin, coupled with scraggly hair, are all the active signs of a corpse decomposing) .. I expect more clown scares before the end of the fall in the pre-weeks to the Halloween season.
This is my favorite time of year. The colors, the smells, the feel of the air.. the things to do. And the clowns to see.
By now you have seen the image of a ‘ghost’ escaping the body of a motorcycle crash victim.. Undoubtedly someone on your Facebook timeline posted it.. someone on your Tumblr reading list. Or maybe just you..
Truck driver Saul Vazquez says he rolled down his window before snapping the scene along Highway 15 near Stanton, Kentucky, on Tuesday afternoon..
The photo then was shared hundreds of thousands of times and was featured even on national news broadcasts.. The little speck of white appears to look like that of a body..
Some say it’s fake. Fraud.. photoshopped… Others give credence to the possibility that the little white part of the image is that of an escaping soul.
From time to time over the coming weeks, I want to start taking some time off from the madness of daily headlines to focus on some other aspects of the planet earth worth mentioning..
Creepy.. strange.. and bizarre things. The planet is a collection of that. From the people gazing at a don’t walk sign at a stop light all the way to the people who run our open and shadow governments.
And in that vein, here is something awfully creepy. Or perhaps just sad..
Have you ever heard of the valley of the dolls in Japan?
