5 Of My Favourite Ghostly Things To Watch

In search of the supernatural I am a massive fan of horror films, I'm not sure what it is about being scared that I enjoy. I do prefer a good old-fashioned ghost story to a slasher movie, blood and gore do nothing for me, except put me off my food. I find the supernatural intriguing and I am in awe of people that come up with these amazing stories. Insidious There are 4 Insidious films and a quick peek on IMDB tells me there is a 5th in pre-production, which excites me! The first film starts a lot like many horror films, with a family moving into a new home. Their son has an accident in the attic and falls into a coma. His lack of response sends them desperately searching for answers, leading them to Elise Rainier, a psychic who helps them enter the mysterious realm of The Further, to save their son. Insidious has an original storyline, a great cast, is very jumpy and most importantly, scary. I often go back and re-watch the Insidious films. Oculus I've found that not many people have heard of this film, which surprises me. It's a brilliant combination of mystery and horror. It starts with a flashback of a young Kaylie & Tim Russel trying to avoid an agitated man with a gun. We are then brought to the present day where a 21-year-old Tim is discussing the incident with his psychiatrist, who then discharges him from a mental facility. We soon learn, that as children, the arrival of an antique mirror has a strange supernatural influence on their family. Oculus is pretty mind-bending, it's different from any other horror I have seen before and quite terrifying. The Conjuring As well as playing one of the main characters in Insidious, Patrick Wilson is one of the stars of The Conjuring films, playing Ed Warren, husband of Lorraine Warren, who are paranormal investigators. There are 3 Conjuring films, each based on real-life investigations of Ed & Lorraine. The first film is about a family who move into a new house when strange occurrences begin to happen. After exhausting every other avenue, they reach out to Ed & Lorraine for help. The film is tense, with spine-tingling scares. A true old-fashioned ghost story, based on true events. 1408 Straight from the mind of the brilliant Stephen King, this is my go-to horror. I've watched it so many times and I still enjoy it. Mike Enslin has made a career in the supernatural. He has written books and investigates supposed, hauntings, something he doesn't appear to believe at all. His next job is to spend a night in The Dolphin Hotel, where room 1408 is believed to be haunted. Cynical as always, he settles in for the evening, only to find that he is going to have far from a relaxing night. The psychological scares are brilliantly done and there are a few unexpected moments in there, as you would of course expect from a Stephen King story, The Haunting Of Hill House This Netflix series was truly brilliant, I watched this with the husband as I found it genuinely scary. It's about a family who grew up in a haunted mansion. Each episode shows the back story of a family member as they are brought back together by a tragedy. It is unsettling, it is jumpy, it is creepy and there is the bonus of hidden ghosts in each episode for you to look out for if you dare! What's your favourite scary movie? ♥️

5 Things I’ve Seen & Heard This Week Including A Way To Earn As You Spend & An Exciting Crime Series

Being on holiday has given me plenty of time to read, listen and watch things and I write this very post as I lounge around the hotel pool. If you would like to watch fairytale for adults I rewatched Collateral Beauty on the plane. Will Smith plays Howard, a man broken by a personal tragedy. He spends his time writing letters time, death & love, whilst his concerned friends, played by the brilliant Ed Norton & Kate Winslet, try in vain to help him recover. It is a beautiful and moving story, something we all need to see. If you want to listen to the new Luther Vandross I put my name down for karaoke on holiday thinking I might sound ok amongst the usual candidates. Then Sterling got up. This man sounds just like Luther Vandross! We were chatting to him and he has entered several singing contests such as Pop Idol & X Factor but for some unknown reason, he didn't get through!

From A to D

  I had entered the ballot for the London Marathon and somehow got in. I had mixed emotions about doing it, I thought it would be good for me to have something positive to focus on but also I was bricking it. I'd been pretty good for the first few months training, I barely drank alcohol too but despite my seemingly healthy lifestyle, I kept getting ill. I joked with people saying my body needs alcohol as it seemed whenever I went without it for too long, I got a cold or a virus, things I had never been prone to before plus my libido was at an all time low, another thing that was out of character. I was hoping that all this exercise would boost my mood, as I kept reading articles saying that it would but if I'm honest, it didn't really I was either at a complete high or I was at an all time low and the highs were few and far between. After the marathon was over, the lows got worse and worse, at first I thought it was because of the build up and now it was over, kind of like

5 Mind Blowing True Crime Documentaries You May Have Missed

I'll be honest with you, this wasn't the post I had planned for today. Jet lag got the better of me and I didn't have the brain capacity to write my original post. The true crime posts I usually write focus on unsolved cases and it's important to me that I give them the time and attention they deserve. Instead, I've prepared a list of some of the best true crime documentaries I have seen and I hope that I'll be back to normal for next week's post. ❤️ The Central Park Five I originally heard about this story when I watched the mini-series, When They See Us I was so moved by the story that I went on to watch the documentary, and both left me in tears. In 1989, five black and Latino teenagers were convicted of raping a white woman. They spent several years in prison before someone else confessed to the crime. Outcry A five-part series about a teenage high school football player sentenced to prison for the sexual assault of a four-year-old boy. This doc
