| Japaneese cemetary |
| There are 2 replies, with the last one on Aug 31 2010 at 19:40:39 by bonestructure Quote: As far as the Japanese cemetery, probably no spirits. You see, Japanese ghosts are different. The ones that end up as ghosts are those whose bodies aren't recovered for burial and don't receive proper rituals. These are called hungry ghosts. And they aren't stuck to one spot. They wander. The Japanese have an entire hierarchy of ghosts. It's very complex. And they take the spirit world VERY seriously. When I lived in Japan I got in trouble with my neighbors a couple times for not carrying out the proper rituals and offerings to keep the neighborhood peaceful. A Masonic cemetery, now, that could be interesting. Those guys have a long history of spiritualism and paranormal activities, if the rumors of history can be believed. And they are the only people who can put sculpted pentagrams all over buildings and not be accused of anything. That would be a graveyard worth checking out. |
| The Bella Maggiore part 2 |
| I rationalized the fact that mabey the cook was getting ready for the morning,so, I rushed back up the stairs where I noticed that there was a glass roof area where you can see down into the kithen area. I looked and did not see anyone or anything. After picking up my girlfriend and going back to the Inn, I told her about the strange noises and so she decided that it would be interesting to investigate the area. We didn't notice anything else out of the ordinary that evening. The next morning I went down to the lobby to ask the manager if there was anyone working in the kitchen over night. I explained about what I witnessed. He just smiled and told me about the ghost of Sylvia Michales. He showed me a scrapbook of articles collected over the years regarding the haunted inn and explained to us the whole story of her death. He then asked if we wanted to check out the room where she was found. I really didn't want to, but, my girlfriend insisted on it. We walked up the staircase and when he opened up the door to the room, we felt an instant tempature drop. The room was cold and uneasy. He then showed us the armiore-closet where Sylvia was found and when he opened up the closet the air was even colder than the already cold room. I did not like the uneasy feeling of being in that room and had to excuse myself. After having breakfast and checking out we thanked the manager and signed the guest book. I believe I noted my experience in the guest log. I would be curious to go back and try to reinact my evening. However, I think I would still avoid the infamous room. |
| The Bella Maggiore part 1 |
| When I was younger, I stayed at the Inn. My girlfriend at the time didn't get out of work until two in the morning. Knowing that the clerk left for the night I checked in early and retreated to my room. At the time I had no knowledge about the ghost of Sylvia Michaels or the history of the building. Anxiously awaiting I decided to go down to the first floor to look around. My second objective was to find the ice maker to chill the wine. The lobby and dining area of the Inn is beautiful in case you've never been there. The hotel was only occupied by a few others than myself due to the fact that it was the middle of the week. So, I just stood there in the middle of the lobby taking in the ambiance of the moment. Now, to the ice machine. It was at the end of a dark hallway that passed the kitchen. I went back up stairs to retrieve my ice bucket. At the top of the staircase is where I noticed the strong scent of perfume. It was unlike any other I've ever smelled. It had an age to it. Can't say it was rose perfume, but, it was dated. I retrieved my ice bucket and came back down stairs to the hallway where the ice maker was. It was dark and I did hesitate. Although, the light from the metal shutters on the right peeked through the bottom of the kitchen order windows. So, finally my eyes adjusted and I made the dash to the ice maker. On the way back I again passed the kitchen serving window now on my left, when I noticed the shadow coming from within the kitchen. Almoast simutaniously I heard the pots and pans clinging and dropping on the ground. I peeked through the half inch gap of the metal shutters and saw what looked like someone dancing back and forth through the kitchen.... |
| Digital vs. Analog |
| I have both a digital voice recorder and a old fashioned tape recorder. I know digital better quality. Is there anyone who thinks that recording on tape is better? Sounds like a dumb question, but, I am curious to know if spirits might take to a tape player rather than something that seems more threatening. The same with digital camera vs. a tape. |
