Ghost Speech: Hola Diana
• Hola Diana, I suppose we all think about what we might have been in a previous life, we all seem to like day dreaming about the possibilities of being someone famous or a great leader.
• You were right, I was listening to classical music, and on sunday night I played the SACD I bought the other week, Tchaikovsky violin concerto in D op 53, played by the Russian national orchestra with lead violin by Julia Fischer, conducted by Yakov Kreizberg, it is a very good recording, glad I bought it, I know Julia Fischer's playing already, I have a CD of Bach violin concertos which is also good.
• That chocolate cake sounds good, you can make the fudge and vanilla cream and I'll make the chocolate cake, with chocolate chips.
• I hope we can stay friends for a long time too, the last time someone said they would be my friend for ever, 2 months later, she was gone, so better luck this time I hope, and I have no doubt it will be Diana.

You seem to know more about our ghost stories than I do. We certainly have a lot of old castles and other old buildings to generate plenty of ghost stories. I did a job about 20 years ago, it was an old disused vicarage ( a big house used by a vicar and owned by the church ), we were converting it into flats, and somebody on the job started a rumour that the building was haunted so we started calling this ghost Marmaduke, it was a long running joke on that job. Every time someone new came on to the job we warned them about the ghost, and it got to the point where no one would work late on their own, even though we'd made it up, it made us wonder, what if there is a ghost ? once that thought got in your head it took over, just shows the power and vulnerability of the mind, and the power of a suggestion. I'll post this bit before I read the rest of your

    Aynne Mcavoy Summary

    Aynne McAvoy’s childhood was unlike any other. Growing up in a family of five, her family moved closer to her grandparents for extra support as her father was often away for business. Quite a lot of history was left within the 50 year old house. In this article, McAvoy goes into depth of the mysteries encountered at the house, such as: apparitions, mysterious noises, and furniture shaking. As many people believe the paranormal are false accusation, McAvoy’s article shows a great amount of pathos, background evidence, along with an extraordinary amount of well-structured language and composition that draws you into believing her stories as you continue to read.…

    The concert that I chose to attend was the Gramophone award winners, Pavel Haas Quartet. Veronika Jaruskova, Marek Zxiebel, Pavel Nikl, and Peter Jarusek were the musicians. They were all very talented. Their movements were amazing and no matter the difficulty, they stayed in time with one another. The songs they chose to perform were Quartet No. 1 in B minor, Op. 50 by the composer Prokofiev, Quartet No. 11 in F minor, Op. 95 “Serioso” by Beethoven, and Quartet No. 5, Sz. 102 by Bartok. All these pieces were amazing both in difficulty and sound.…

    The ghost story gave me mixed feelings on how to take it from a historian point of view. The story was Mr. Fleetwood’s own perception of what happened and how he remembered it at that moment. I will cover the rationality of trusting the content, the justification of it being historically true, and if the metaphysical evidence of ghost must be true for the story to be historically true.…

    Based on our reading of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” people of 1790 may have been more superstitious or more likely to believe in ghosts than people today because the people of 1790 had no scientific explanations to what was going on around them. So, they made up these ideas to give them an answer or explanation. Today we have technology and a lot of scientific research, so we can tell if something is fake or not real when these ideas come into our heads. In 1790, they also didn’t know that some of the noises they hear may be a trees or bushes in the wind. They lived in small towns and told stories to make up…

    Imagine being jolted awake in the middle of the night only to see a ghostly figure staring at you by the foot of your bed. This is what many people witness while staying at the Myrtles Plantation Bed and Breakfast located in beautiful St. Francisville, Louisiana (Nickell 12). The Plantation house is split into two parts, a museum and sleeping quarters for the brave guests who dare to stay the night (Rule 238). The Myrtles Plantation is known as one of “America’s Most Haunted Houses,” thanks to the ten gruesome murders that occurred in the house (Lewis G10). The infamous Myrtles Plantation has a ghastly history, which many people believe are the causes of such paranormal activity.…

    Hola Diana, hope you are ok and have had a good week. Oh I see what you mean about the hamsters, they were discovered in 1926, so that it is where all the pet hamsters came from. There's no need to apologize Diana, when you make practical jokes like I do (like the banana tree) , you have to expect to be doubted sometimes. It's like the story of Peter and the wolf (you'll know the music, by Prokofiev) , where the boy(peter), was always saying there's a wolf coming when there wasn't, as a joke to frighten people, so when the wolf actually came, no one believed him. We have a saying over here, "crying wolf" when people joke that something is happening, when it isn't. You probably have a similar expression. Anyway, there's no need to apologize. just a point, to help you with…

    The Paranormal and Mass Hysteria The paranormal has always been hotly debated. Often mass hysteria is blamed as a factor in people’s belief in the paranormal. Mass hysteria contributes to the events surrounding paranormal activity by amplifying people’s emotions, such as fear and nervousness.

    When it comes to paranormal activities or supernatural experiences, I am caught in the middle on where I believe it or not. I don’t necessarily believe in ghost but do believe in spirits. In 2004, my great grandmother died. For a whole year after her death, if I went over to her house, I would leave before it got dark because for some reason I was afraid to spend the night in her house after her death. I finally got the courage to spend the night over her house and I must admit, it was the most peaceful sleep I had ever gotten my entire life. While at her house, I could misplace something and spend a whole hour looking for it. Once I decide to give up looking for it I would say “Madear, give me back my ____” and instantly whatever I would be looking for would appear. I…

    Writing a Horror Story

    Think about why you find these things scary! Three great places to look for ideas are: Experience: Things that have happened to you – did anything really scary happen when you were younger, like getting lost in the woods, or being woken by a noise that might have been a monster? Memory: Things from your favourite books and shows – what’s the scariest thing you’ve ever read or seen? Is there a way to use that idea but make it your own? What if?!: Crazy ideas – this is the most fun way of looking for ideas. What if… your reflection suddenly started doing things differently, and began trying to take over your life? Or your parents, and everybody else’s, suddenly disappear? Or a neighbour turns out to be a vampire? Learn to question absolutely everything – why is the school basement locked? (What if that’s where they experiment on naughty kids!) What happens when you are hypnotised? (Maybe you are possessed by an angry ghost!) Think up ludicrous and scary explanations for everything!…

    Ghost Story

    • 1695 Words
    • 7 Pages

    The ghost story genre is one that is very complex. Each ghost story can be told in a different way and still be effective. A ghost is a supernatural force. Supernatural themes are often associated with paranormal and occult ideas. Supernatural comes from the Latin word “supra” and means the above nature, anything above or beyond what holds to be natural and exists outside natural law and the observable neighborhood. Jamesian and Freud both developed their own criteria for evaluating an effective ghost story. These criteria were useful in developing my own paradigm for assessing an effective ghost story. When looking into what I felt was needed to make a ghost story effective, I looked at the formal elements of the narrative as well as the psychological effects of the story on the reader. In doing so I was able to come up with standards that I believe each ghost story should follow in order to be effective to the reader. The first characteristic of an effective ghost story is the setting. The tale must take place in modern day and be recognizable by the reader. For example the story could not take place in space because the reader most likely has never been to space. Although the setting must be in modern day the ghost should be from the past. The next characteristic is related to the intentions of the ghost. Whether it’s a good or evil ghost there should always be a story to be told by the ghost. In an effective ghost story there has to be a purpose for the ghost to be present, if not then the ghost story is unsuccessful. Next there must be an element of mystery. The main character as well as the reader should be questioning their beliefs and/or morals throughout the story. If mystery is not present then the ghost in the story is the same as any other person. Mystery allows the reader to be engaged into the story and want to know more. Along with mystery the main character must be skeptic of the supernatural force…
