Not so happy hunting in Georgia

Where to start, where to start. Below is a picture of our hunting packs. It is complete with all of the ameture ghost hunting supplies. Digital camera, flashlight with red lens, digital thermometer, compass, disposable camreas, a cell phone, a note pad to log any kind of activity or occurances, I digital audio recoder and last but not least lots and lots of batteries! What is not shown in this picture is two infrared cameras that detect any movement. We were ready to "catch us a ghost" or some kind of paranoraml experience be it EVP, a feeling, or some kind of happening. Well, none of that happened. We stayed at the 19 hundred 70 hotel in room 204, this is widely known as "the haunted" room or simply Anna's room. There are a few variations to the story of Anna and the hotel itself. We did not experience anything unususal while in Savannah anywhere. The beauty of the place made up for it though.




The river front was also a sight, bustling with activity from dawn until dusk. Along the river front you will find Florence Martus, the famous waving girl. If you choose not to read her story I will give you a quick and dirty. Her man went to sea, told her he would return but never did. She stood on that pier for 44 years waving to the ships coming through. I will tell you right now, I would MAYBE wave for 44 minutes then say forget it! There are other sailors in the sea!
Thing is, I'm seeing a pattern here; Sailor and girl meet, girl falls in love, sailor leaves. Either woman kills herself or spend her life waving cloth at the sailors! Moral of this statement..... Sailors are BAD BAD BAD!

I'm guessing this is one of the ships she was waving at. There are gargantuan! These ships coming through block your entire view. The rail cars look like match boxes on these ships. Every time one came throug I stood in awe of them. I would watch, thinking to myself, "How in the WORLD do you build something SO immaculate to float?"



We went on Haunted tours, and walked the squares. It is just a serene place and I would love to live there. The one place that I regret being able to visit was Bonaventure Cemetary. This is the famous cemetary rich with history located a few miles outside Savannah. It is the final resting place of several characters in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil . I love old cemetaries with statuets and the such. I was at the mercy of other people so I guess I will have to wait until my next tip there to visit.

Web site of the day

I have been frequenting this web site for some time now. The pictures are truly phenomenal. J. Corsentino has taken live models and made beautiful artwork. At this site you can find an array of different species. Angels, vampires, faeries and much more. The costume design is very detailed and superb. What I would do for one of these costumes. I have contemplated many times starting my own project for the ultimate fairy costume. I have NO IDEA when I would actually find the time to even invest in such a thing. I do need sleep periodically. Below you will find a sample of some of the art featured on the site.

This picture looks to be the cover of the highly anticipated book by J. Corsentino to be released fall of this year. It will contain 64 pages fairy art in full color. I will be sure to have this one as soon as I can get my greedy little hands on it.

I encourage you to visit time of the faeries and have fun, there is also a section with some cute games to pass the time. Like we all have this huge amount of time to sit and play games. HA!

The Di Vince Code

Spoilers attached!!!

On another note; I went and saw the highly controversial "The Di Vinci Code" on Friday. It was a fairly good movie. There were a few times that I found myself trying to stay awake. Maybe I was tired. My outlook on this film is, if you did not read the book, you will not enjoy it as much, nor understand alot of the things in the movie. They did a good job of following the book, but as always, in my perspective, reading the book is always much better. They hit all of the key points, however, there were other points that were not added. Here are a few of my observations throughout the film.

1. When there was a description and breakdown of the Holy Grail and its mean so to say through the artwork of The Last Supper. They failed to mention some of Da Vincis’ fascination to adding things to his art. Such as the extra hand holding a knife located to the left of Mary Magdalin. This was never pointed out. This factoid, along with many others regarding Da Vinis’ paintings were noted in the book.

In the book there is a thorough explanation behind The Mona Lisa. This painting had little impact in the movie.

When Robert Langdon and Ms. Neveu were trying to break the code, they were led to Di Vincis’ uh, shrine or whatever you wanna call it. It’s late and I’m seriously drawing a blank on the word! Anyhow they found clues that they needed to embark upon their journey, This was poorly explained in the movie. The shot of this statue was very brief and you could not imagine what they are actually looking for. In the book, the statue is detailed in every aspect. When this was shot in the movie I found myself wondering what this point provided for the audience. It was finally explained but not in full detail.
These are just a few of the details that I questioned throughout the movie.

As far as the controversial hype in the media, well you should expect it. This reminds me of the controversy regarding Harry Potter and religion. This however points to a completely different aspect. Dan Brown reveals things unknown to the world such as The Opes Dei and the Illuminati (Angels and Demons). It also opens the power to question ones belief in religious systems especially Catholicism. My view this that there are many things in the world that can corrupt, but if you are strong in whatever spirituality/religion you practice or believe it should not be a problem. You choose to believe what is pointed out or you do not. There can be some form of controversy in the crack of a sidewalk to someone.......

HAPPY HUNTING!

I’m so excited! Today I sail to Savannah, Georgia and am stoked to be out of town, especially south. It’s a blistery spring day with a high of 50. It smells, looks, feels and tastes like fall outside! I can't believe this weather! It is just amazing. Not my problem today though! Actually this would be pretty good whether to catch me a ghost! TE HE.
I will have pictures and amazing stories upon my return!



Yesterday I was reading a book, called Witching Moon. Very good book. All the sudden this white orb comes dancing into my view and stays in one place no matter which way I look. This tiny pen light like orb was every color in the rainbow. It was so bright and vibrant that it was white with reds and oranges around the outside. After sitting still for just a moment it started flittering around. Now at first I thought it was just my eyeballs going bad on me from reading so much, I believe that is NOT TRUE. This thing flitted in and out, up and down for a good minute. I tried to catch sight of it again for the next few minutes to no avail.
I believe I saw a fairy! (or a ghost? um no.) :P

This has only happened to me once before and it was several weeks ago. It is just a weird thing. I had been in a kind of dapper mood the entire day but my sense of brooding kind of vanished after this. I think the fairy was telling me to cheer up! You’re going on a trip! I think they also wanted to let me know that they would like their fairy doors back in place and that the mole was back!

I made two fairy doors to stick against my front tree so that they may have a place to stay or come in and out of our world, they loved it! My dad moved them the other day to mow the lawn and I have not put them back. This requires a very intricate dance on the full moon at midnight. And NO! Not naked! Get your mind out of the gutter! With these fairies came my first mole, it is apparently their taxi service. I thought I had rid of it until I woke up yesterday to freshly turned dirt paths! ACK!

Ok these are my jumbled thoughts for the day!

See you when I get back!
