But I like Celebrity
Ghost Stories. The format is good:
five or six individual, unrelated stories.
The celebrity narrates their story and the show does a dramatic
recreation of it. I also like that they
tell us what makes this person a celebrity since I usually don’t recognize at
least half of them.
The stories may be true or may not be true but you can tell
most of them believe what they’ve said.
Since I also believe in ghosts and other paranormal experiences, it’s a
good collection for research. It may not
be reproducible but its real to them.
I liked this week’s story about a haunted town in England,
Whitticomb. In the 1600s, on a Sunday,
while the church was filled with people, lightning struck and the church caught
fire. Lots of people died, trapped in
the fire. The actor telling the story
stopped there on his honeymoon and he and his wife noticed the people seemed
odd. No one was talking, no one was
making eye contact and no one would respond to them. They got creeped out and basically ran
away. The ghost experience and the
actual history both sound like fascinating stories.
I also liked the story from Guns’n’Roses drummer about a
strange voice he picked up during a recording session. He insists he was completely sober when this
happened. No matter how they fiddled
with the dials or checked the soundproofed room, this guttural growling kept
spoiling their backup singer’s track.
Later, it’s late at night and their chairs start to rattle and move
around. A strange man appears and then
vanishes. The studio is empty and they
begin to look around. Suddenly they hear
a voice say “Don’t come in here, you’re not invited!” and the door slammed shut
in their faces. Turning around, they saw
a strange mist hovering in midair. When
the drummer touched it, it was as if it were ice and it seemed to run up his
arm and plunge into his chest. They made
a hasty retreat. The receptionist told
them it wasn’t the first time strange things had happened there. A head and an arm had been discovered in a
garbage can directly behind the studio about ten years previously. The studio eventually went out of business
because of difficulties retaining both staff and artists.
Now that’s a cool story.
