During a flight from Beijing, China, to Melbourne, Australia, a passenger was sleeping when suddenly her face began to feel hot.
About two hours into the flight, the woman’s headphones exploded, burning her face and singeing her hair, according to a press release published on Tuesday by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
“As I went to turn around I felt burning on my face. I just grabbed my face which caused the headphones to go around my neck,” the unidentified woman said in a statement. “I continued to feel burning so I grabbed them off and threw them on the floor. They were sparking and had small amounts of fire.”
Images show the woman’s cheek and lips covered in soot and charred pieces of hair along the top of her head.
The press release says flight attendants were already pouring water on the headphones before the woman could begin stamping the fire out.
The IT remake coming this autumn have left movie-goers screaming.. The website BLOODY DISGUSTING, linked to INDEPENDENT, and shared worldwide on Drudge, reports this:
The trailer opens with footage of Bill Denbrough making a paper boat for his little brother Georgie. We then move outside, where Georgie is chasing his boat in a rainstorm as it floats next to the curb,” the description reads. “Suddenly, Georgie runs right into a street barrier, which knocks him down on the ground. He then watches as his boat sails into a gutter. He runs to the gutter and tries to see if he can see his boat. As he looks deep into the sewers, Pennywise abruptly appears before the screen cuts to black.”
The members of the Loser’s Club then meet up and realise they’ve all been seeing the same entity until finally someone says ‘The Clown.
The description continues: “The teaser then moves into its centrepiece, which shows the members of the Loser’s Club looking at pictures on a carousel slide projector that suddenly acquires a life of its own and begins moving through the slides at an increasingly alarming speed. The pictures are of Georgie and his parents, and each slide zooms in on Georgie’s face before cutting to his mother, whose hair is covering her face. As the projector moves from slide to slide, the hair moves out of his mother’s face, and her face is revealed to be that of Pennywise himself.
“The trailer then blows through a flurry of shots, as most trailers are known to do. The most striking image from this succession of shots is the unforgettable moment when blood flows out of Beverly’s sink, only in Muschietti’s film it spews out like a geyser and blasts her in the face. There is also a sublime image of Pennywise approaching two of the children (he has them cornered against a wall), but the shot is framed in a way so that only his long, bony fingers fill the screen. The children are in the background, out of focus but clearly terrified
Expect a lot of clowns this year starting in August, if not earlier. And with it, Halloween costumes galore of Pennywise vs the Losers Club..
The witching hour has struck again.. The dream that turns into a nightmare.. just in time for 3am to show its ugly Face on the clock..
Let me explain.. for those who haven’t read this site for any bit before this post, you may not realize that I have a theory that most bad dreams and nightmares occur at or around 3am. At least mine.. and I have find some concurrence with others on the topic..
Last night it happened to me again.
Before I progress to the nightmare, I have to first say this. A few months ago, a reader sent me a message that I should listen to calming YouTube sleep hypnosis or music on earbuds at night. After trying it, it was surprising that actually the result ended up with NO DREAMS at all..
Last night I was just dead tired..I conked out early and, for the most part, has pleasant night visions.. I recall things got strange though. At one point, the dream turned odd when I was watching SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Chris Farley was on — he wasn’t dead in nightmare.. but very well alive and well-aged with time. The show opened and suddenly I heard the Bruce Springsteen song BORN TO RUN play loud. Suddenly, out of no where, I heard a lower octave G chord play on a piano. I turned in my house, saw my black piano –that I have in real life– and I saw keys being held down. I backed up, and saw the keys move.. I backed up more and before I realized it was shrieking in fear in real life. I had woken up, scared and in a cold sweat…looking at the clock on my phone, and seeing 3am.
I actually could not fall back to sleep. Instead I went to the computer and turned on Coast to Coast AM, all the while researching what exactly piano dreams mean.
The experts on these matters hold a piano dream to be in good light. Success is coming! Business is going to be good! If a piano plays!? Harmony..
But my piano dreamed was different than this harmonious affair the dream experts talked about. Instead, a dreadful deep note played and all I could do was sense a surrounding spirit of fear overcome me.
Then the real thoughts came in.. while in deep sleep, unless you are one of the few and proud who learned to master your own dream, you really don’t distinguish fiction from reality. That dream, for the moments you are in it, is real. Quite real as a matter of fact.This is how the piano dream feltfor me.. And how I know nightmares often feel for you.
But I pondered… who was hunting me in my dream? What dead spirit? What deceased family member? And if one would actually try to make contact, that would be a beautiful thing! I would love the chance! And no one who I know who died had any grudge against me, just love. So the conclusion would have to be made that this entity is evil. It is not of my family. Not a friend. But a possession of some other sort.
It is unwanted and uninvited. But somehow stepped in my dream without warning ..
I didn’t want it to be there. It just showed up.. and payed the song of doom. Or at least a note of dread.
My question for you–you can answer in your own head–is this: Have you ever had a dream like this? One where an unspeakable force toys with you? And .. how real did it seem?
Mine seemed real.
Either the dread is something internal and deeply traumatic..or I am being hunted by a night stalker with no face or being..
Maybe the night stalker is the emotional roller coaster of the day’s toils.. Maybe it’s the fear of the night …
I will document this dream and move on.Hoping to never have it again.
UNLESS…the sprit decides to show its face. If only I can master the dream and ask the meaning, then perhaps I can master reality and figure out the meaning of that as well…

Directed by Mike Kerz, the film finds Englund recalling his years playing Elm Street villain Freddy Krueger and paying tribute to filmmaker Wes Craven while makeup effects artist Robert Kurtzman transforms the actor into the feared dream-stalker. The film will also track Englund as he meets fans and Freddy and is interviewed in full makeup by horror host Svengoolie.

“Nightmares in the Makeup Chair is my love letter to the Nightmare on Elm Streetseries and to practical makeup,” says Englund in a statement. “I’ve always been in awe of the multi-talented makeup effects artists. From sketching to sculpting, they realize the design. Then to the fine precision of the molding and the manufacturing of the makeup appliances which are nearly paper thin. And then, the application process where I sit in the makeup chair and I become their living canvas as they glue me in and paint the appliances. This documentary not only captures their talent, but I think it might inspire a new generation of practical effects artists. I was happy to become Freddy once again to share the makeup process with the fans.”
The swan song of the 20th century will be complete now with Fred appearing in the Fedora one last time.. DOCU STYLE..
But … what fans may fear: This is probably Englund saying by to fans in Freddy garb to drop the news that he is never coming back again..
In 2014, a man called Nathan posted on Reddit that somebody was messaging him from his girlfriend, Emily’s, Facebook account. However, Emily had been dead for two years. At first, he assumed it was a glitch but then Emily began to tag herself in photos. He even received a message which read: “ust [sic] let me walk.” This message disturbed Nathan the most due to the fact that Emily’s legs had been severed in the car accident which killed her. He soon turned Emily’s Facebook page into a memorial page hoping that the messages would stop but instead, they continued and even more alarming, he received a photograph of himself taken from behind the door. He claims nobody was in the house at the time.
This may be the season for jolly elves.. but it’s cold and dark enough to include paranormal tales..
This particular creepypasta always stuck with me.. the idea of the electronic world being inhabited by a ghost. And then….the ‘no one was on the house’ card played when a photo of the user ends up being sent..
A very long conversation has developed on Twitter, Facebook, and other ‘social’ media locations across the information superhighway.. What in the world is going on in this selfie!? A man, innocently taking a snap of him and his most likely lover.. both smiling for the cell camera to capture the perfect moment. And in the background, the strange development: We don’t see the back of the woman’s head but instead … her smiling at us in the reflection..
A few points to note:
We don’t know who the people are.
The picture is most likely fake.
Photoshop is an amazing thing.
It was April Fool’s Day yesterday.
And … the picture is fake.
If there is more to the story I’d sure love to hear it.
And the creep factor is evident..
But also evident: Photo manipulation.
Fun of course..
Very fun.
Now .. if it’s not fake and I am wrong? ..
Well then.. I’d never take a selfie again.
Keep your lights on!

Now doesn’t that look impressive?
David F. Sandberg directed from a screenplay by Eric A. Heisserer’s (The Thing, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Final Destination 5), which was based on Sandberg’s 2013 short film..
That short film, as well, was highly praised on this website and referenced often.. When we learned that LIGHTS OUT was going to be a feature film from JAMES WAN of Conjuring fame, we nearly jumped out of our chairs..
And yes, there is criticism already.. Some are claiming they are tired of the ‘jump scare’ routine.. others, who praise the short film for the highly ingenious story and ability to create fear and panic all in four minutes don’t completely get sold on this trailer..
Turkey shot down a Russian jet this week .. and with it, shattered the safety and security of the world.
While the planet may always seem to be a hair trigger away from total chaos and anarchy, this event seemed likely to push us further to the brink of war.. or something.
Thanksgiving in America, people rushing home to be with friends and foes alike. Meanwhile the rest of the planet isn’t taking that break, instead they are rushing to battle.. arming their weapons.. finding their stations. Launching their tactics.. and positioning themselves in the game of either chess or checkers depending on your point of view of modern headlines.
This is the planet at large. One filled with doom and gloom..
Terror and tales of fear.
The horror isn’t just on movie screens or televisions.. it’s real. It’s now beginning to be palpable.
The REUTERS news service issued an opinion dispatch that may dampen the turkey gravy your dinner table.
Is ‘wow’ the correct way to describe a reaction to such a piece?
Joshua Walker writes this in the report,
Despite hopes of a “grand coalition” forming in the wake of the Ankara, Sinai, and Paris bombings claimed by the so-called Islamic State, now there is an urgent need for de-escalation to salvage what little is left of peace and stability in the Middle East.
Moscow’s immediate accusations of Ankara’s “back-stabbing” and support for Islamic State followed by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warnings of “serious consequences,” highlight just how high the stakes in Syria are for all parties involved. Hopes that the spillover effects from Syria could be contained are now dashed.
Turkey’s support of their ethnic brethren, the Turkmen of the northern Syrian region where the Russian pilots likely ejected, will only further complicate the situation on the ground. Given the fissures among the Kurds, Islamists, and rebel groups fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his Russian and Iranian supported forces, there is no hope of victory on the ground. To avoid further confrontation in the air and to prevent Russia from any retaliatory action, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization must re-affirm its support of Turkey and call for an immediate no-fly moratorium over Syria.
Yes indeed, these are serious times. Serious consequences also can result from actions or inactions.. Mistakes or mishaps.
And yes… TURKEY is a member of NATO. And NATO may be requested to…say…defend appropriately.. and Russia may … say.. respond to Turkey.. and China may…say… take a stand. And Kim Jong UN will ask for attention with a nuclear test.
And you can see how this ends.
We are thrust into chaos continuously. Cooler heads can prevail. One of these days they won’t.
The choice is in the hands of leaders who can push buttons and launch missiles.. Leaders who are fallible. Leaders with mental illness..
And leaders who we elect or are stuck with.
Yes, indeed. Preventing “world war 3” is a mighty task. Especially with the escalation of tension of tactics…
