The skies over El Salvador turned red and people feared a meteor was about to strike.. The appearance of the red was visible for seconds and went back to normal again..
A Westfield, New Jersey, home supposedly afflicted with a “watcher” who sends menacing notes is back on the market — this time at a reduced price.
The homeowners, Derek and Maria Broaddus, say the “watcher” sent his first note to them and their three kids just three days after they closed on the $1.35 million home in 2014.
The Broadduses tried unsuccessfully to sell the home last year after they claim they received a disturbing letter that read in part: “My grandfather watched the house in the 1920s and my father watched in the 1960s. It is now my time.”
And more:
The listing says the house, located about 25 miles from New York City, is a “stately colonial designed with all the character and charm of the early 1900’s.”
No other words to describe this article appearing in the NEW YORK DAILY News besides ‘high strangeness’ .. Friends say that Richard Simmons, the exercising maven of the 20th century, has vanished into himself.. into his mind.. into his home. Madness has taken over. He has cut off contact with close associates and some haven’t seen or talked to him in two years. They are also blaming his long time housekeeper.. from the DAILY NEWS long diatribe:
Oliveira presents the most solid evidence of Simmons’ mental and emotional state, because his access to the mansion was more recent than others’. But even he has been left with a dearth of concrete, up-to-date information, leaving friends to concoct theories, some more outlandish than others.
“I think tormented is the best word to describe his mental state,” Oliveira says. “I think it was (caused by) black magic, witchcraft. That’s not close to your culture, but to my culture in Brazil, and to Mexicans” — Teresa Reveles is from Mexico — “that is a real thing. They invoke the spirits. They light black candles, and red and blue candles. I’ve never participated. I only saw from a distance. But at services, they do special meals. They offer meals to the bad spirits, and light candles, invoking with words.”
Blasts and booms have been sounding since January 1 2011.. And this January, 2016, it’s going wild.
New Jersey. New York. California.. Florida.. Pennsylvania.. most recently Connecticut. and other countries as well..
At the end of the week, the Navy said it was responsible for sonic booms of the Jersey coastline–those booms were felt so far and wide that the USGS asking for people to report information to them about the situation..
Uhhhh there was a sonic boom in Charleston Tuesday.
Nothing to see here, though, right?
I looked up the sonic boom story from Charleston and found an article from January 27 from WYFF:
Reports of a loud noise and shaking houses like the ones that have poured in across the Lowcountry are indicative of a sonic boom generated by an aircraft, according to a release from the College of Charleston.
I suppose this is all just …’normal.’
Frost quakes!
Yea!! Frost quakes. Makes sense.
Right?
Frost quakes in Charleston with a high temp of 62 for the past few weeks..
The earth was shaking.
Cause the walls start shaking. The earth was quaking. My mind was aching. And we were making it and you. Shook me all night long
Do dolls give you a bit of the creeps? Do their piecing eyes sort of delve deep into your soul? Does the expressionless face haunt you when you least want it to?
If the answer was yes to any of the above, avoid Thailand for a while.
According to media reports, the anxiety of economic despair and ruination after a coup in the country has caused an influx of enthusiasm for lifelike dolls. Reuters reports that the doll craze is sweeping the nation..
Thailand is predominantly Buddhist and has been modernizing rapidly over the past two or three decades but many people are highly superstitious, their beliefs co-existing with notions of animism, astrology and “black magic.”
“I can see it in other people’s eyes,” said Natsuda Janbtim, 45, who has been raising her doll Nong Ruay Jung, or Pretty Rich in Thai, for 8 months. “I know some of them must be wondering why I am carrying a doll but I just don’t care.”
The plastic dolls, about the size of a real baby or an American Girl doll, are called “look thep”, or “child angel” and cost between $40 and $800 USD.
But this part perhaps is the most chilling..
Devotees of the dolls lavish attention on them, often treating them like real babies, even taking them to be blessed by monks in the hope that benevolent spirits will possess them and bring good luck.
“My life has changed a lot, for the better,” said Jantabtim, who lives with her daughter and owns a beauty salon. “When I hug her, I know it’s love. I tell her I love her all the time.”
A mental health expert quoted by the news agency blames the economic conditions of the country..
Mental health issues indeed..
The struggle in the country has brought out previous strange addictions to trinkets and charms. People attempt to find luck where ever they can get it, especially when times are rough. But tough times are bringing forth strange crazes..
Get this snippet from Reuters:
Some businesses are cashing in on the trend.
Thai Smile, a subsidiary of national flag carrier Thai Airways, said it would charge passengers who bring dolls on board and would serve them snacks.
But the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand said it would stop airlines selling tickets for dolls over concern they could be used to smuggle drugs.
This wll undoubtedly be a wild year of political strangeness.. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are toppling the norms and powers that be wtih big audiences, lots of attention, and potential victories in upcoming primaries..
But as usual with the HORROR REPORT, we like to point out the more bizarre and odd..
The odd can be found in Iowa, where a lone protester is making headlines for following Ted Cruz around and holding up a sign saying he likes Nickelback..
It’s weird.
And really, who likes Nickelback?
Ted Cruz?
Maybe.. but not the protester.
As Joshua Fetcher writes, pointing out that the protester did not reveal his name to media at this point,
However, the band took the protester’s jabs in stride in a Jan. 11 tweet, “NICKELBACK Employee of the Month. January 2016. #Election2016 #Nickelback4President”
But, when asked about his favorite Nickelback song, the protester told the Post, “I don’t like Nickelback.”
This linked article is sort of where all of this online insanity started concerning the creepy video making the rounds online THE RING style.. It’s a good write up.
I believe that there is an intention behind the video..
But in these days room also must be left for pure genius marketing–something else this certainly could also be..
