The Fear Pages

If you have ever driven through Tampa, you have undoubtedly come across the Sulphur Springs water tower; you seriously can not miss it. It stands 214 feet (65 m) tall, with a foundation 45 feet (14 m) deep, making it visible from nearby Interstate 275 and much of the rest of Sulphur Springs. It's located in the historic district of Sulphur Springs and was built in 1927. I've always heard stories of the water tower, and one day, I was given this book by my dear husband as a birthday gift because he knows how much I love the paranormal and Tampa bay, and I was thrilled when I saw the story about the Sulphur Springs water tower!  While quite striking and beautiful, the tower has a very dark history, from a devastating intentional flood caused by the destruction of a dam in 19333 (no loss of life), reports of balls of light circling the tower and its surrounding area to countless suicides, the energy around the building is dark. However, it is reported that the marsh-like waters ...

We've all seen photos of ghost orbs, some say it's paranormal, and others say it's just dust. Many online debate the authenticity of ghost orbs in photographs. Some people believe that orbs are a sign of an otherworldly presence nearby. They might be spirits or ghosts of those who used to live in the area where the photo was taken. Others believe that they could be extraterrestrial beings or spirits from another dimension. Ghost orbs are one of the most popular types of paranormal images. They are usually white, round, and blurry. However, some people believe that they are just dust or bugs on the camera lens. Ghost orbs can sometimes be seen in photographs, but they are more commonly found in video recordings. They are usually white or clear and can appear to have a human-like shape or a pattern such as smoke or fog. Ghost orbs can sometimes be seen in photographs, but they are more commonly found in video recordings.

One of my favorite local legends is that of a female ghost who has been spotted as far back as during WW11 on Holmes beach staring out into the sea as if looking for a lost love, perhaps waiting for her husband to return from the war? Legend has it that after wandering the beach a bit, the woman walks into the ocean to about waist level and suddenly turns into a sort of morning mist; the mist then follows the shore south where it drifts to other nearby beaches where it then turns into a dark mist and eventually fades away.  It is said that the phenomena of the wandering beach bride in Holmes beach have been reported in some navy charts as far back as during the time of World War II when they were protecting the area from Nazi submarines, and even the navy was unable to explain the mist phenomena that was spotted on Holmes beach.

If you know me and or have read this blog enough, I am sure you know by now that I have an unhealthy obsession with the Paranormal Activity franchise; I have binged the series several times, probably could recite every line word for word! anyways I digress.  I got this poster autographed by Katie Featherston, and I'm fucking ecstatic! I also got this adorable little purse that, even though it is a little too small for all the crap I carry in my purse, I still love that it is a gremlin purse. I really wish they had more horror-themed bags like traditional ones.  Stay tuned to my next post about my newly purchased Dybbuk box from eBay and its frightening backstory and strange occurrences in my home! 

Have you ever sat in your cubicle at the office or were serving someone at red lobster and thought, I would rather be ghost hunting or making someone not be able to sleep tonight? Same, same. I hear you. Unfortunately, it's not easy to trade your office printer or menu for a proton pack or monster makeup. The security of a standard 9-5 job is tempting; most come with great benefits for short-term and long-term goals, but if you are willing to ditch those comforts, keep reading and find out how to make a living keeping it spooky.  Be a ghost tour operator - Many ghost tour operators get paid a decent wage, though I am not sure if that offers other benefits, it is a year-round job that pays well. Are you familiar with your local ghostly legends and historical data, able to walk for an hour or more, stand in one place for long periods, and are good with people? In that case, you may want to go on the tour of your choosing a couple of times, reach out to them or even go on their websi...

I don't know who needs to hear this, and it is an unpopular opinion, but demons aren't terrorizing you or even a hostile entity. So many people want you to believe this; they need you to consider this, but chances are what's haunting your home is a frustrated ghost. I know, I know, hear me out. But have you ever had someone NOT listen to you? How about someone who keeps giving you the silent treatment while trying to get a critical point across? Isn't it so damn frustrating?  Now you know what that ghost hiding in your bathroom is going through; it's 10X worse for them because you can't see it, talk to it or hear it most of the time and it has sometimes spent decades this way, so much so that now it is at the point that it does not even care anymore, it just wants you out of its space, period. Sometimes, the spirit may even be more afraid of you than you are of it, depending on the circumstances of its death. So say, for example, you remind them in some form of ...

A convicted murderer released this past summer was found Sunday with 3 hostages in his home covered in blood. The convicted murderer attacked deputies with a hatchet when deputies tried to force the front door of his house open.  According to Hardee County Sheriff's, "Once Albritton was in custody, officers located three victims inside the home covered in blood. One of the victims stated they were afraid to flee because Albritton would pick up the hatchet any time they tried to move. All three victims were transported to medical facilities." There aren't many details about what this monster did to the victims inside his home to cause them to be covered in blood, but I imagine it was pretty gruesome. Obviously, this isn't the first time this animal has attacked others. He was convicted of murder 25 years ago, but details about that aren't immediately available. However, it seems like some of the victim's families have publicly commented that their loved one...
