Freaky Friday–Real life Buffy the ghost–er–demon hunters

Published on 19 Jul 201313 Jul 2013 by Juli D. Revezzo

Do y’all remember the television show/movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Okay, I’m not going to ask what you thought of them, but the show does bring to mind the idea of hunting baddies of all ilk. (Of course my characters Caitlin and her friends are beginning to brush up on just that in my Antique Magic series) so…when I saw this article the other week about A group of teen girls performing exorcisms (while I completely disagree with their belief that Harry Potter instigates evil *sigh*), I couldn’t resist. 🙂 I had to share it with you.

Note the one girl wears black nail polish. I guess she didn’t get the message that at one time we were branded evil for doing so. 😉 Did I care at the time? Do I now? uh….no. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the article. Have a very…freaky Friday, my friends!

Freaky Friday–vampires, witches, and plague victims, oh my!

Published on 17 May 2013 by Juli D. Revezzo

For today’s freaky Friday installment….

This could be filed under lots of things I suppose. What’s odd about is the evolution of how our species looked at their neighbors. That at one time we considered old age a mark of witchcraft just feels that way now. At least to my modern eyes. The other thing that’s odd is how we at one time in history buried our dead to appease our own fears. Take this poor woman, for instance: A plague victim in 16th century Europe. Was she a witch or a vampire? Imaginations can go wild. For a writer, even more so. 😉

Thankfully, we live in a more modern age….right?

Spooky Saturday

This article I ran across, a little old now, talks about a local theater….

ghostFlare What do you think? If you heard a local theater was haunted, would you want to join the hunt? Or find a new place to take your date on a Saturday night? 😉

The fact of the matter is, yeah, I probably would. My husband used to work at a theater in our hometown (not the one mentioned in the article, but a different theatre) that he and some of his co-workers swore was haunted. They’d hear footsteps when they were cleaning a theatre, and find no one else around. There was even one time they found some old lady had died in the bathrooms, poor thing. That really ramped up the stories about ghosts.

Is it really haunted? *shrugs* I don’t know, but I tell ya, despite not letting it ruin a date night, I never wanted to hang around by myself after the lights went out! *lol*

In lieu of Freaky Friday…Strange Saturday.

Actually, I suppose you could say this wasn’t all that strange. On the other hand, it is… something I would’ve never thought NASA would do. I hope you find this article interesting.

This may or may not qualify as “Weird” or freaky, depending on your point of view. Personally, I always find it kind of…odd when something I’ve loved…oh, forever hits the mainstream. So…Witches are fashionable now? Wow!

Since I include them in most every story I write, I think it’s a nifty development. What do you think?

Disclaimer: I warned you. So, don’t blame me if you act on this article’s call and anything freaky happens to you!

However, I couldn’t pass this one up! It’s too freaky not too be included in my Freaky Friday runs, don’t you think?

FOR SALE: Antique mirror, very possibly haunted | News.com.au.

(Were it me? I’d probably destroy the darned thing rather than to put it up for sale, but that’s me.)

(Please don’t anyone here go bid on it)

But man, for my little writer’s brain…it presents so many neat ideas! Read above (or here below) for their story. Let’s hope these poor folks find some peace.
