Fans of the Heir deserve Voldemort

• Haunted house to sell? Examples of past listings: Trulia
• Current haunted properties listed include one known as Caenen Castle, aka Renee Kelly's Harvest, listed for lease or sale 1/2018. On the 2016 Haunted Restaurant line up. KCStar
• Alien Ranch in Arizona is still looking for a challenger. Read the story. Vice
• Worried that your haunted house will be difficult to sell? Maybe not. According to USNews some people actually like the extra ambiance. Just saying, do your homework before you buy in on that one. Spend a night with a ghost/s to see what you can look forward to 24/7.
• Recommend the Sagebrush Inn, Taos, New Mexico. - Updated since my stay. From past experience, having a phantom arm around you in the middle of the night keeps the mystery alive for a return engagement. We had the usual electronic issues. Not so fun, the dog totally freaked out while alone in the room during our breakfast break.
  
• On the reading list:
  1/The Afterlife Revolution, Anne and Whitley Strieber. UnknownCountry
  2/Out on Foot: Rocky Elmore's odd and unusual encounters as a U.S. Border Patrol Agent.
  3/Owls and UFOs. Mike Clelland has a follow-up to The Messengers. Stories from The Messengers (coming soon). Mike's Blog

Voldemort. Too good not to share -- Fans of the Heir crowd pleaser. Brilliant fan-made film fleshes out the back story on Tom Riddle and the horcruxes. Studio execs nixed and then relented. Agreements were made and then all parties involved signed off on this, The Verge.

Given the response - CNET for example (outnumbering the critics), it makes one wish the interest level were enough to inspire a full fledged pre-Voldemort film.



Another fan-made film (2013) highlights the battle between Dumbledor and Grindelwald. Seen on the Broad Strokes YouTube channel, the creators feature Harry Potter fan-made, fan-based content. The current vid promotes the next project: The Great Wizarding War and suggests rebranding and moving in a new direction. Follow on Twitter.

Terry McKenzie - Living with Weston Ghosts, haunted happily everafter... Super and natural

It began when as a young parish priest I tried to assuage my curiosity about ghosts, and in no time at all found myself enjoying the company of these people from the world of yesteryear. I even found myself acting as counselor/social worker to many of them. I just can't understand anyone being afraid of ghosts. - Holy Ghostbuster: A Parson's Encounters with the Paranormal, Reverend Joe Aelwyn Roberts

• This Fan-made Harry Potter film brings new life to the Tom Riddle backstory, adding extra characters and fleshing out a few plot elements. Nixed and then, after a chat with the execs, approved. Voldemort deserves an afterlife renew... Thumbs up review: Yahoo. 
• The Last Great Daredevil aka Mad Mike Hughes plans to launch his homemade rocket on February 3. Details and launch coverage. Hoping that name isn't a self-fulfilling title. 
• Holy Ghostbuster, yes, the same one quoted above, passed away. Mysterious Universe - Thanks to Paul Seaburn
• Woman marries Ghost of a pirate. Daily Mail. She says he looks like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. DailyEdge  Note: Is the 'marriage' legal? Snopes says, No. Given the fact the groom is deceased one might assume 'legit' was not a concerning factor for the 'married' couple in this case.  
• Ghost Blog - Father's legacy? A Gift of Prophecy 
• True love. Cat owner misses cues to hunt. Cat shifts gears to vegan offerings. The Dodo 

Moving into a new home... Mom is all atwitter. Gram? Kinda preoccupied. Alfie, along with his pet goldfish: Sara, must investigate the empty rooms alone... cue spooky music ... the rooms might not be empty.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Interview with (1/28/18) Terry McKenzie. Living with Ghosts.

It started when he and his wife won the opportunity to restore a historic home in Weston, Missouri.  Bid and renovation plans had to meet requirements and be approved. Even the backstory on how theirs won is curious.

Because of the unique history behind the house (descendants of Daniel Boone), that story was newsworthy. Lawrence Journal World

Considering a similar project? Six owners share their story. CBS News  None mention Ghosts.

Restoration plans for the 1850's home were set and work was underway when the other shoe/s dropped. A tornado (or a really big wind) blew the roof off the house. Footsteps were heard in rooms where no one had entered. Ghosts were eventually seen, heard and photographed. Maybe not in that order.

One photograph - and I really should get a copy of this from Terry - is spectacular. Taken in an empty bedroom, the camera catches images in the mirror. Clearly featured in the reflected image, a couple.  Dressed in period clothes, the man and woman resemble former residents. Authentic and priceless.

Turns out the ghosts were pretty active, especially after lively gatherings and at night. Funny thing that. The owners didn't believe in ghosts. They showed up anyway. Terry has a few words to say about this, what it was like to discover ghosts are real.

This home will be on the Weston 2018 Christmas Homes Tour.

Thank you for listening and thank you for sharing!

-- My MIB encounter was in a dream. Nighttime. Me, standing out in the middle of a field watching a group of male friends a short distance away. I looked at the stars. A black car drove up through the field. Three men stepped out and walked up to me, all three wearing the classic black suit. Don't remember much about their faces and the conversation may have been telepathic. It seemed serious. I was told I needed to start doing what I agreed to do when I came here and somehow I knew exactly what they meant. Life changes ensued in short order. True story. - wendy

When I bring up the topic of Beginner's Mind (:14), Graham notes the problem with certainty or knowing. "The moment you start saying this is the answer, this is the truth, then the likelihood is that you're going to ignore anything that contradicts that."

Graham's books include Navigating the Out of Body Experience. He also offers coaching. Connect
