Warren<\/strong>, a paranormal investigator and demonologist, inspired franchises like “The Conjuring” and “The Amityville Horror.” LINK<\/a> From ghosts to ghouls, witches to wizards, Halloween is the one time of the year when people come together to celebrate everything supernatural. But beyond the fancy dress and trick or treating, belief in ghosts is actually relatively common \u2013 with\u00a038% of people classifying themselves as believers<\/a> and a similar number having actually reported seeing one. LINK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending<\/strong> how you feel about a good night\u2019s sleep, you might or might not want Katrina Weidman to plan your next vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Friday\u2019s premiere of the Doylestown native\u2019s Travel Channel show,\u00a0Portals to Hell<\/em>, she and cohost Jack Osbourne check in to the Alaskan Hotel in Juneau to investigate reports ranging from possible demon sightings to women guests occasionally being groped by what some believe to be a man who drowned in a hot tub there. LINK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n When <\/strong>you think about the word \u201cparanormal,\u201d what comes to mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Probably poltergeists, ghost hunters, or little gray aliens. Or perhaps you imagine movies like\u00a0The Blair Witch Project<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Ghostbusters<\/em>. The idea of the paranormal has remained a constant focus of thriller and sci-fi movies, often taking the audience on a wild, but very speculative ride. Talking about the word paranormal in any context other than the entertainment industry usually results in raised brows and smirks. But isn\u2019t everything in science paranormal until we eventually perceive it as normal? LINK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Susan Hiller, <\/strong>whose mysterious, discomfiting, and alluring works attempt to commune with supernatural beings and make visible invisible forces, has died at age 78, according to Lisson Gallery, which represents the artist. A representative for the gallery said she died of a \u201cshort illness.\u201d LINK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The group<\/strong>, which offers its services free of charge, said it is looking for \u201copen-minded…real team players\u201d to join.
