YouTube Live Stream: Podcast Delema

I've tried out Live Streaming.  In this one I go over our SoundCloud space issues and would love to hear suggestions.  I also talk about a bit of an odd experience I had over the holidays.

Ummm, What?

As I've said many times I'm a skeptic. I don't believe things unless I see them in front of my own eyes.  Well today something happened out of nowhere.  We were sitting at the dinner table in the kitchen when we heard the mirror in the entry way rattle.  My girlfriend and I both thought this was because of the cat. He often sits on the bench in front of it and bumps into it when he moves.

However when we glanced at the mirror there was no cat. Looking at the mirror I said, "That's weird." and it happened again.  It happened right in front of me!  The mirror rattled and moved as if something has bumped into it.  I was staring right at it, not out of the corner of my eye, not something I heard but didn't see.  The mirror moved right before my eyes.

No cat, no wind, no furnace running, no tremors or Canadian earthquakes.  I really have no explanation for this.  I'm a bit baffled.

The mirror is pictured in this post.  As you can see it's just hanging on the wall.  Nothing really touches it.  I don't know if I'd say it was paranormal, but it sure was strange.

New October Podcast & References

The October podcast is out!  This month I share the events leading up to my DEATH! We also talk to my guest Julia as she shares some of her spooky experiences in Ukraine.  Then I quiz her on some Russian folklore and get to the bottom of this Baba Yaga made popular by the John Wick movies.  Thank you so much for joining me on the podcast.

Listen to the podcast here: SoundCloud

As promised below are the pictures for reference.

The Naomi Event

Below is the drawing from Naomi as well as part of the company website.  The flash intro to the site showed exactly what her drawing portrayed.  A graveyard, a dead tree with symbols and ravens in the tree.  As you can see in the web site sample the symbols are the same.

Creatures of Russian Folklore

Here are reference to the creatures we spoke about in Russian folklore.  In order left to right we have Vodyanoi, Leshiy, Domovoi, & Baba Yaga's strange house in the woods.

Posted Podcast from October 2005 Over on Sound Cloud

Going WAY back to 2005 I've posted the October edition of the Nocturne Society podcast.  In this one I mainly covered the history of Halloween but also a couple true ghost stories.

Also a brand NEW podcast will be coming for October so keep an ear out for that.

REPOST: Interview with Author Annie Wilder

A while back I listened to an interview on the Darkness on the Edge of Town radio show. It was with the author of the book House of Spirits and Whispers, Annie Wilder. The true story was about her experiences in a 100 year old house she bought which was haunted. In the interview she was so down to earth and the story was so compelling that I went out and bought the book. I just finished reading it and enjoyed it so much I contacted her and asked if she’d do an interview about herself and the book. She agreed. I’ll keep it brief since I’m sure she isn’t looking to write another book for me.

Podcasts!

Our first podcast is here!  I'm pretty new to the podcast thing so I really hope you all enjoy our September edition.

Currently we plan to do a program once a month, each on a certain topic.  This month I give a little history on the Nocturne Society, what is was, what it is, and where it came from.  I also give tips on having an incredible Halloween party, and talk about the true ghost story that started it all.

I'd also like to encourage listeners to send me their stories that I can share and discuss with our various guests. The email is thenocturnesociety @ gmail.com

So you can find the podcast over on Soundcloud.  Just follow the link.  Please like, share, and follow as you see fit.

Nocturne Society Sept 2019

This is Dan Bell

If you enjoy the thrill of exploring abandoned locations might I recommend “This is Dan Bell” YouTube channel.  Although he is not out seeking ghosts and spirits he certainly picks some of the creepiest locations to document.  Dan is also really good at camera work and cinematic editing to really drive home the eeriness of these locations.  Definitely worth a look to any urban explorer.

Haunted Houses and Hotels

I received a nice email today from a Girl Scout Troop thanking me for the Nocturne Society site.  Apparently they used it as reference for a storytelling project of spooky stories.  They also suggested I link a different site that they found useful so here it goes.  They suggested America's Famous Haunted Houses & Hotels.

Thanks for the link girls and have a safe Halloween.  Get lots of treats!
