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? ♥️

Is Success The Thing That Scares Us? Or Is It Failure We Really Fear?

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill If you fear failure, the above quote from Winston Churchill can be seen as comforting, failing at something can be a huge blow to our egos. But what if you aren't scared to fail? What if succeeding is the thing that scares you most? Failure is something that some of us are quite prepared for. Before we've even set out to do something, that voice in your head is already saying "it probably won't work out". We often prepare ourselves for the worst outcome to protect our fragile egos. If we fail, things will stay as they are and whether we are happy with our current situation or not, it is a lot easier to stay in a familiar situation. Of course, we don't want to fail, we'll feel rubbish about it, sometimes it means we can't do the things we had hoped for at the time, but ultimately, nothing has changed, and we can usually fall back into our old routin...

Moody Monday

Last night I made myself some overnight oats, which was actually a great trick as when I tried to have my usual argument with myself this morning about shall I exercise or stay in bed, I had to get up because I had to have my refuel meal. I decided to go up to level 3 on the Joe Wicks DVD, bloody hell, who thought that 5 seconds more could make such a difference? Feeling achey, but all pleased with myself. I got ready for work and enjoyed my oats I was in pretty happy mood for a Monday, work was pretty quiet so I thought I would go online and look for some outfits for my birthday dinner with the boyfriend on Friday. I'm not sure if this was the trigger, as I did find it quite depressing looking at all these slim women and all these lovely dresses and knowing that I was not going to be able to wear any of them but suddenly the black cloud arrived, I had managed to avoid it for the last few days but now it was well and truly here. By the time I finished work I was a really bad mood...
