Supernatural' Season 7 Episode 19 'Of Grave Importance' Preview: Who's in a Very Haunted House?

From Gather Entertainment: Supernatural' Season 7 Episode 19 'Of Grave Importance' Preview: Who's in a Very Haunted House?
Supernatural season 7 continues on April 20 with episode 19, "Of Grave Importance,"

"Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) get a call from Annie Hawkins (guest star Jamie Luner), an old hunter friend, asking for help on a case. When they arrive in town, they find out Annie has disappeared. They trace her last whereabouts to an old abandoned house that is haunted by a powerful ghost."

This is the episode that will be bringing in a hunter that both Sam and Dean have a past with, but it doesn't look like they're going to have much time to even share a laugh over that. They have bigger things to worry about, and that's the hunt they're on because it's not going to be their regular, everyday ghost hunt—not once they come across one of the ghosts in the house.

In the Supernatural season 7 episode 19 promo for "Of Grave Importance" , Sam and Dean find themselves in the old Van Ness house, which is on a Most Haunted Houses in America list. It certainly looks like it earned that spot on the list, and this episode looks like it's getting back to the good ol' days of ghost hunting and cases that have the potential to be scary, but it's pretty easy to forget everything else by the end of the promo, when Sam and Dean come face-to-face with someone very dear to them—Bobby. His "You can see me?" ends the promo and breaks your heart.

Episode 18, "Party On, Garth," ended with the reveal that Bobby is very much hanging around, but Dean didn't see him then. What is it about this house that the Winchesters are going to see him now? How will this end for them? Will the end of the case lead to the end of Bobby, or will that be something Sam and Dean need to do afterwards? There doesn't seem to be any way this can end in anything but more heartbreak.

Augmented Reality Ghost Hunt Games Bring the Ghouls to Life

From TechnoBab: Augmented Reality Ghost Hunt Games Bring the Ghouls to Life
I’m sure every town or city in the world has their own stories to tell about a certain abandoned house or building in the area that is purportedly haunted. I’m a big baby when it comes to ghosts, so I try to avoid these locations as much as possible.

But for this augmented reality game, I might change my mind – provided I’ve got my best friends who will take on any haunted houses with me, that is.

We’ve all been told that every place has it’s own story, and that’s precisely what Haunted Planet Studios is aiming to do with their series of augmented reality ghost hunt games. The developer has come up with several applications that will let users capture the “paranormal activity” by running the game on their mobile phones.

As of now, two games have already been created: Falkland Ghost Hunt for Scotland and Viking Ghost Hunt for Dublin, Ireland. It’s interesting how they used AR together with fantastic audio effects and GPS technology to come up with an integrative game that will surely give anyone the heebie jeebies.

UK: Red Lion hotel hen night 9-3-2012

From Ghost Hunt Events: Red Lion hotel hen night 9-3-2012

Hen night ghost hunt at the Red Lion Hotel, Colchester – 9th March 2012.

As a team we were thoroughly looking forward to returning to the Red Lion as it was a brilliant ghost hunt the first time around, this time we were hoping for more of the same. We also came prepared with more of our kit, this time four infra-red remote cameras, which our guests can control throughout the night.

Colchester is a very interesting place, not least because about 30mins before we started a group walked by outside dressed as Cavaliers, random and strange!

The Hen party group had not done anything like this before and my introductory talk didn’t help matters when I told them that we would be predominately in the dark, some guests became scared at this.

However once we spilt into two groups, one heading for the haunted bedrooms, the other into the Parliamentary Restaurant and bar. Each group had a range of electronic kit, namely K2 metres and our ghost communicators, alongside some of our less technical kit, bouncy led balls.

After a while a young male energy 8-9 years old made himself known to me, he was dressed in a smart suit with knee length trousers, not a school uniform and he was from the 1850s and as I said at the time he would have grown up to be a gentleman as he was from a well to do family.

I also sensed another male energy who I met on our last visit, he was a grumpy old bugger as I put it. He mainly stayed near to the bar or public toilet entrance. The guests enjoyed their time communicating with the energy. The energy however didn’t like me the first time and he surely didn’t like me this time. The energy was about 70 years old, fairly short wearing a flat cap and smoking a pipe. Whilst Michelle was communicating with him and asking him to touch her, another guest who was in the restaurant felt a touch on her elbow. During Michelle’s questions I recorded some audio and a very clear EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena, a.k.a. ghost voice) was recorded.

One of the guests proclaimed his name was Robert. When asked if this was true the communicator responded with a “Yes” answer. The guest in question (Julie) stated that the energy held her hand when we were in the restaurant and that it was a pleasant experience for her. Although at this point Julie was rather tearful.

We also started using the writing planchette and some writing did occur, although the results were not conclusive. All the while Michelle was communicating to the spirit via our ghost communicator.

Our communicator device also flashed quite a lot which we have never seen before. The energy asked if I would move further away, which I duly complied with.

The energy also stood very close to Michelle and during this time our camera was out of focus, as soon as the energy stepped away from Michelle the camera refocused. Although when the energy returned and stood beside another guest (also Michelle) the camera went out of focus again.

Many guests saw a shadow within the restaurant which due to the lighting could have only come from within the restaurant (as the lights were outside on the wall) at the same time everyone heard a sound, although we have no idea what it could have been. Also one of our motion sensors was set off when no-one was near it.

Many guests commented that they felt uncomfortable in the ladies toilet, this seems to be a recurring feature of the ghost hunts that we have undertaken at the Red Lion hotel.

After a short break we headed for the cellar, which is one of the most interesting cellars I have encountered. On speaking to the manager he hold us that there is reputed to be a tunnel which goes to the Castle from these cellar, whether this is true or not remains a mystery.

As usual when a person walk heavily on the gratings outside the noise reverberates throughout the cellar, and when this happens all the guests jump!

A male energy was fairly quick to join us, his name was Archie de Marquis and he proceeded to give the guests some sense of his presence in the form of gentle touching and moving the guests arms.

Many guests felt pins and needles in their arms, cobweb sensations around their faces and numbness throughout their arms.

All in all a very enjoyable evening for the guests and us. Steve

Fayetteville, ARK: Ghost Hunting to be Discussed at Upcoming Lecture

University of Arkansas news: Ghost Hunting to be Discussed at Upcoming Lecture
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Misty Bastian, chair of the department of anthropology at Franklin and Marshall College, will present a lecture titled “Spirit Communication in 21st Century America: ‘Ghost Hunting’ and Digital Technologies” on Thursday, March 29, at the University of Arkansas.

“I first met Misty because of her work regarding spiritual practices in western Africa,” said JoAnn D’Alisera, director of the religious studies program and associate professor of anthropology in the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. “She’s an internationally known and highly regarded anthropologist, and I knew our students would benefit from exposure to her latest groundbreaking fieldwork.”

An examiner of the paranormal research community, Bastian has interviewed researchers and psychics, gone on investigations with ghost hunters and engaged in participant observational research. She explores the subculture of individuals who seek contact with spirits, ghosts or other paranormal entities.

“My research is similar to other anthropological studies,” said Bastian. “I'm digging into fundamental questions about religion, work ethic, power structure and other basic concepts that define every community. The difference is that the paranormal community hasn't been studied like this before.”

The lecture is sponsored by the religious studies program and the department of anthropology. It will begin at 6 p.m. in the J.B. Hunt Building, room 147.

Join Simply Ghost Nights and Chris Conway for one of our favourite locations. This huge building was a memorable night on our last visit with almost every vigil having constant activity.

Tettenhall Towers in Wolverhampton is a brand new location for simply ghost nights. Tettenhall Towers dates back to the early part of the eighteeth century and was built by Thomas Pearson is 1771. In 1851 it was bought by Colonel Thomas Thorneycroft who was a very eccentric man and has been spotted many times at the Towers, unhappy that there are people in his home, Its documented that scared builders have fled the property and not returned because of what they’ve seen or heard!!

The Thorneycrofts, Colonel Thorneycroft bought and sold property on a grand scale but preferred Tettenhall Towers to the rest. Colonel Thorneycroft was also an eccentric of the highest order, he was known for pushing his butlers off the top of the towers to test various flying machines of his own creation.

G B Thorneycroft, the colonel’s father, was the company founder who also became Wolverhampton’s first mayor in 1848. But it was his son, the buyer of Tettenhall Towers, who became arguably one of the village’s most eccentrically famous residents.

The Colonel was variously described as a man whose fertile imagination, individual point of view, broad and ready wit and energetic language meant that he would not readily be forgotten.

Tettenhall Towers, now part of Tettenhall College, is situated in Mount Road Tettenhall. The Towers dates back to the early part of the eighteenth century when a General Thomas Pearson, a returning Indian nabab bought land in Tettenhall at the site of the Holly Bush Inn.

Ireland: Limerick has a ghost named Daniel and he likes appearing on camera

From Joe .i.e.: Limerick has a ghost named Daniel and he likes appearing on camera
So far this year we’ve had reports of ghosts in Kerry, Kilkenny and who can forget the ghostly nun who posed for a picture in Galway? Now there’s a ghost in Limerick and his name is Daniel. No, seriously.

The Limerick Leader reports that a team of paranormal investigators spent the night in Limerick’s Milk Market last week, following continuous reports of strange things happening and CCTV footage which clearly shows unidentified objects randomly floating around the 200 year old market place. Spooky.

Four investigators with the group Ghost Hunt Ireland are currently in the process of examining the footage of their night spent in the market to see if they can find anything else, or catch a few more glimpses of Daniel on camera.

Since the story was originally published in the Limerick Leader the paper has said that many local people have come forward and talked about their own supernatural experiences in the market.

“We’ve had people in talking about their experiences who didn’t want to talk about this before. Our security guards, who open up at 4.30am, have also reported things that they can’t explain. It’s all very baffling,” said David O’Brien, the manager of the Milk Market.

Breda Duggan, who is the founder of Ghost Hunt Ireland, has said that the team recorded numerous “spikes” on the screens of their equipment when they started calling out and asking any spirits present to answer questions.

When the team finally tried to get some sleep in the Milk Market, they were awoken by loud activity on their equipment.

“With a history of over 200 years, something has to be there,” Ms Duggan said.

The strange presence is being referred to by locals as ‘Daniel the Ghost’ and Ghost Hunt Ireland plan to return to Limerick in the coming weeks to examine the Milk Market again.

What do you think? Cast your eyes on the above picture from the Limerick Leader and have a look. Is it paranormal activity or a random burst of light?
