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? ♥️

Searching for my good mood

Some weeks I feel like my brain has been swapped out. They loan it to (or from) sane people for a couple of weeks. I’m not entirely sure at this point if I’m the borrower or lender. Some weeks, someone (mostly my husband) can do or say something and I’ll laugh. Other weeks (this week) I want to cry/scream/kill the nearest passer-by. The problem is, I’m on the mini pill. I haven’t had a period in 10 years, that’s been great but now I’m starting to wonder if it really is? I keep reading horror stories about what the pill does to you (ok these are random stories on the internet but still!) but this doesn’t give me a cycle so I don’t know where my hormones are at. I am, by nature, extremely impatient, when I say extremely, I mean to the extreme of extreme. I cannot tolerate slow walkers or drivers, being late, disorganisation and just waiting for anything in general. I am an absolute delight! My husband, on the other hand, is the extreme of the extreme, OPPOSITE! He dithers, he is never on...

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! If you want to earn money whilst you spend it Use TopCashback . I use this whenever ...

My 3 intentions for the coming week

As of yet no miracle has been invented to prevent me ageing so I am finally going to have to accept that I actually have to start looking after my body. I want and need to get myself back in shape. I’d like to have more energy and just generally feel less sluggish. I’ve read in many articles that strength training is better for women in their 40’s, so I am going to include some of this in my weekly routine. I also want to try and get a hold of my water intake, my skin is clearly feeling the effects of my lack of water so I just need to make more of an effort to not only incorporate this into my daily habits but stick to it. I have a really busy week this week and after (another) weekend away, I need to not only plan, but schedule my blog posts and newsletter. I’ve got myself into a really good rhythm with this and things are going well so I don‘t want to let things slide. I only plan to move forward from now on.
