ghost stories

got any good ones?
there's really nothing better than a good ghost story on halloween.
i've got one but it's not really that exciting.
basically all that happened was my stuffed animal chipmunk got thrown across the room while my family and i were staying in a creepy old hotel in charleston, south carolina. and no, it wasn't like i saw the chipmunk on one side of the bed and then looked back to see it on the other side, i actually saw it in the air. it didn't look like it was levitating or anything like that, it was more like somebody was crouched on one side of the bed and then chucked the chipmunk over the bed and across the room....except i was alone in the room at the time. i was pretty young when it happened so that's why nobody ever believes me when i tell them this, but i know what i saw that day and will never forget it. i remember it all so clearly. i remember thinking at first that it was my little brother playing a trick on me, but then i realized he was outside (this happened in broad daylight, by the way, we were getting ready to check out of the hotel) and i literally ran out of the room screaming. the whole experience really did traumatize me, and it was also very frustrating at the time because i was so young and couldn't really explain what had happened properly. i don't know the name of the hotel but i know that my experience there was not entirely unique. supposedly it was pretty common for people to report strange occurrences during their stay. i know this because afterwards i remember sobbing and clutching my little mermaid suitcase while i tried to explain what had happened to some of the ladies that worked there. they told me they believed i was telling the truth because people had reported other strange phenomena in the past.


p.s. i still have the stuffed animal chipmunk.


UPDATE: i just did some research and THIS is the hotel!!! (i mean, ahem, "inn")
haha. and it's still painted bright pink! also, don't forget to check the ghost sightings page.
pshh i told you it was legit. maybe i should submit my story...?

spontaneous combustion

Photobucket
ughhh. my brain just exploded.
can't sleep.
can't do homework.
can't think.
all i can do is watch THIS short film by kenneth anger over and over and over again.

.....no, but seriously, i'm obsessed.
it's hard for me to put my love for this film into words.
authentic flapper dresses from the 1920's? i squeal with delight.
awesome '60s folk rock soundtrack? i cry tears of joy.
and the fact that this was filmed in 1949? my brain explodes/spontaneously combusts.
i can't even deal with this anymore. it's just too fucking amazing.


also, this film was supposedly part of a FULL LENGTH FEATURE THAT NEVER GOT MADE.
HOLY. CRAP.

WHY AM I TYPING IN ALL CAPS?
