<p><strong>Scary Question Number 13:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p id="post-565"><a title="Permanent Link to Does watching paranormal shows on TV invite that stuff into your home?" rel="bookmark" href="http://science-mathematics.hanep.org/2010/07/does-watching-paranormal-shows-on-tv-invite-that-stuff-into-your-home/">Does watching paranormal shows on TV invite that stuff into your home?</a></p>
<p>July 16th, 2010<br />
I love to watch shows such as Ghost Hunters and Paranormal State.  My  family insists that you are inviting that kinda stuff into your home  just from watching.  What do you think?</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh I wish this was how it worked, because I often watch the MegaMillions  drawing, and that would really come in handy for paying off the student  loans. And all those episodes of Top Chef would either turn me into a  decent cook or there would just be delicious gourmet food waiting for me  when I open the oven. I could watch the fitTV channel and never worry  about my figure or cardiovascular health again.</p>

<p><strong>Scary Question Number 14:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Am I possessed after watching Paranormal Activity?</p>
<div>
<p>After watching  the film  &#8220;Paranormal Activity&#8221; I have had quite a few intense nightmares. I never  used to have nightmares until after watching th film for a second time.  The first nightmare I was in this room where the walls were made of  human skin and I was talking to two men who had bowl hair cuts and were  extremely pale with black eyes. They told me that if I said &#8220;suicide&#8221;  within 10 minutes I would have to stay there forever. I managed not to  say it and when I woke up I couldnt move my body for a shorrt while and  my legs just started to rise from the bed. I found this terrifing and  quite disturbing. The  second dream I woke from my bed in the dream and  my mother was calling me. I went into her and she was lying on the  ground face down with her head twisted to the side and she kept saying  help me. When I touched her her eyes changed to cat like yellow eyes and  her appearnce changed also to a more menacing face and she bit me. I  have had more dreams like this one involving other family members and  friends and their faces change to the same form to that which my mothers  changed and they always bite me.</p>
<p>Does anyone else suffer from dreams like this? What could it be?</p>
<p>I dont listen to rock music or devil worship. Im not a depressed type  person and i find this very weird. Can anyone help me please?</p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p>I often joke that I think television is magic, because although I technically know the processes by which images are transmitted to appear on a screen in my home, I am somehow still totally amazed that this works and that anyone ever figured it out. As my high school Physics teacher said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think Physics is Julie&#8217;s best subject, but she tries really hard.&#8221; That said, I do understand that television transmission is NOT MAGIC and therefore the programs I watch cannot make things happen in my house or to me. Well, sometimes the commercials seem to make me order a pizza, and sometimes I stay up too late watching a movie and then suffer the next day from lack of sleep, but these things are my voluntary reactions to watching the programs, not the programs actually DOING anything to me against my will.</p>
<p>Nor have I ever interpreted having some scary dreams, especially after watching a scary movie, as me being possessed. Which isn&#8217;t to say that the occasional creepy as hell dream hasn&#8217;t made me need to go watch cartoons for an hour or so until the trauma of the dream has passed, but a bad dream is just a bad dream. Has this guy seriously never had a nightmare before? Did his parents never comfort him when he had a bad dream as a child? What did they do, tell him it was the work of satan&#8217;s minions? Dude, the world isn&#8217;t only made up of unicorns and lollipops, so you had better learn not to freak out when your brain copes with some of the nastier stuff by providing you with a nightmare. And stick to the G-rated stuff from now on.</p>

<p>Scary Question Number 15:</p>
<blockquote><p>can witch turn herself in vampire by some balck magic spells or ritual?</p></blockquote>
<p>If you are planning to write some sort of new insufferable paranormal series aimed at teens based on some sort of witch-vampire hybrid situation, please don&#8217;t, especially if you are so uninformed of general folklore about vampires and witches that you will ask this kind of question.</p>

<p>Andrew Whiteman, 21, an Oberlin College student from Royal Oak, Michigan, was arrested in Lorain County, Ohio last weekend on charges intimidation and disorderly conduct while being voluntarily intoxicated. Whiteman was trying to break in to a drug store when police found him.  He displayed all the hallmark signs of a serious night of college partying: slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and an overwhelming odor of alcohol. Whiteman was also very muddy and soaking wet, like he’d been flopping around in a creek bed.</p>
<p>So, really, nothing at all remarkable about the guy, until he was arrested. At that point, Whiteman told the arresting officers they were in trouble because he was a vampire over 100 years old. Hmm, “Whiteman.” Maybe a pun on being really pale on account of the undeadness? He also claimed he could smell the officers’ blood from the back of the patrol car and mentioned he would like to imbibe it. Sounds like he already did enough imbibing for the night. Whitman further said he would live forever and threatened to kill one of the officers and the officer’s children.</p>
<p>Upon reaching the jail, switched movie genres ever so slightly and told a female officer that he wanted to eat her kidney.</p>
<p>What a nice young man. Someone should tell him that’s not the kind of sexy vampire behavior the young ladies are going for these days.</p>
<p>Whiteman has apparently survived exposure to daylight and has pleaded not guilty.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thatsjustweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/vampbite.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-121" title="vampbite" src="http://www.thatsjustweird.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/vampbite-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Two people were arrested in New Zealand for allegedly taking part in a bloodsucking attack on a man, and a third remained at large.  It seems that two of the perpetrators started biting the man in retaliation for inappropriate flirting.  Chomper Number Three freely admitted to biting the man and had what he considered to be perfectly good reasons for it: &#8220;If I&#8217;d hit him, I&#8217;d have really hurt him, so I thought I&#8217;ll bite him seeing as they&#8217;re already biting him.&#8221;  How thoughtful!</p>
<p>Mr. Considerate Criminal also admitted that some blood drinking had occurred, but denied any part of that and used his ability to be out and about during the day as proof that he isn&#8217;t a vampire.  Perhaps vampirism carries a heftier penalty in New Zealand than battery with teeth.</p>
