.....

This is basically another random update. My life, basically. I am doing this because I am tired, but I'm finding some stuff, so I need to stay up, just a little longer. I've also got a room with books all over it (my monthly book inventory) and clothes that I went through for donation, so I have a big mess to deal with. This normally wouldn't matter, but my Nana (grandma) is coming over tomorrow, and, well, she always gets after me for a messy room...

Starting off, I had a pretty eventful week last week. Museum, ear piercing, post office drama, all that stuff. Not much really happened except, well, you all read the blog post from earlier.

The weekend was spent at my Dad's house, and we had some fun. Friday night was basically packing for our "road trip" to Kenosha, WI. It's only about a 1 1/2 hour drive, but with a 10yr old brother and an 8yr old sister, it's a recipe for disaster. The whole car ride there was fighting over DS games, origami being thrown all over, and other stuff that just gave me a major headache. My Dad and his girlfriend sat up front where the chaos was not present. Lucky peoplez. Well, anyway, we got to the event site, and we set up our day camp and just kinda stood around in the sun all day. I took over 350 pictures with my Dad's epic camera, and I got sunburn. Oh well. I'm kinda used to that. One of the side effects of having vampire skin. We went down to the beach and stood around in the water, attempting to stay dry. Everybody made it with only a couple spots of water on their clothes. Everybody except for me. I fell over, and one whole side of my body was wet. Then, to make matters worse, we went to Wendy's and these creepy stalker people were staring at me. They kinda stopped when I gave them my death glare.

The car ride home was easy, me and my little siblings fell asleep. We finally made it home and went to a local baseball game. The Riverhawks .vs. The Smashers. Riverhawks lost. Big time. We went because we got box seats and all. They weren't awesome box seats, but they were still cool. It was themed, too, the night was called Halloween in June. Dracula scared the flapadoodles out of my Granny, and I threatened to spray a creepy clown thingiemabobber with RC cola. XD

The next day, Dad took us fishing. Correction: Him, my little brother, and my little sister went fishing, I took pictures. Eventually, after catching nothing for a long time, my little brother wanted to take a break, so I took over for him. My very first time fishing. I had never even touched a fishing pole before. And I caught a foot-long catfish. How I did this, I don't know, but I did. And I refused to touch it. Ew. LOL. We got done with that and had our annual Sunday dinner with the family and Dad's girlfriend. We then went back to Mom's and I got on my laptop. I pretty much haven't gotten off of it since. I've been on my laptop or sleeping.

I found a website linking the Freemasons to the Pentagon in Arlington, VA, which could be cool. I have it bookmarked, and I'll read it once my eyes are not tired and capable of reading. Let's just say, Google Chrome spellcheck is killing me right now.

Well, that's an update on me and all that other boring stuff, soo, yeahh, I will talk to you guys later!

Smiling really widely now.... (Damian McGinty popped up on screen.)

Not much has happened lately... I had a few paranormal experiences the last week, some I already told before. I recently saw a shadow and heard a door slam when I was alone in the house. Big, yet not.

*pauses to watch Damian on the Glee Project* *sighs*

Ok, back, he did AWESOME!

Soo, as I was saying... not much has happened. I've been doing a very stupid thing lately.. when at Dad's house, I will sneak a chance to look on SCIR. This would be ok, but the computer is in the same room that he is normally in, so I'm being very stupid/sneaky. Tee-hee XD

Well, I am back for the week, and I'll be doing a lot of research about everything we've found recently. I hate this, having nothing happen. We need to get everybody back together, the way it was before. I miss that. Nothing has happened lately, just a few things. Oh well, I'm sure this stuff will kick in again soon. 

Hyypur's out.

Me Book Report

In April, I did my weekly book report on Ghost in the Machine. I figured I might as well post it on here, just because, and you do NOT have to read it. Sooo... here ya go! And yes, I did mention the possible reality of it in here, too.

Name: Maggie Mitchell

Title: Ghost in the Machine

Author: Patrick Carman

Publishing Company: Scholastic Inc.

Publishing Location: New York

Publishing Date: 2009

Setting: Skeleton Creek/ Sumpter, Oregon

Main Characters: Sarah Fincher, Ryan Mccray, Daryl Bonner, Gladys Morgan, Ryan's Dad, and Henry.

Description of Events: Ryan and Sarah are still locked in the centuries old dredge, as they were in the last book. Joe Bush shut the door of the secret, cube-shaped room, their only means of escape. The ghost comes back, and unlocks the door. Ryan and Sarah wait for a minute, hear nothing, and scramble out of the secret room, Ryan falling behind because of his broken leg. They reach the one and only exit, probably their only chance of survival, and find a threatening message scribbled on the old, wooden door in dripping, black ink. "Don't make me come looking for you." The only person who could've wrote this is the ghost of old Joe Bush, the only one set out to get Ryan and Sarah. This message could only mean one thing- don't tell anyone about the experience we had tonight, if you will, you will suffer the consequences. Ryan and Sarah eventually make it through the locked door, barely alive, Ryan's leg in excruciating pain, and run to Sarah's car, almost not making it back home in time. Ryan and Sarah go to sleep, just acting normal, and Ryan wakes up in the morning to find the threatening message from before scrawled on the wall above his bed. Ryan thought his parents would think he did it, so he covered it with a Pink Floyd poster, who he only listened to for about a week. Ryan gets an e-mail from Sarah, her giving him the new password for the videos she makes. It is crucial that Ryan deletes each e-mail and text message, because if Ryan or Sarah's parents find out that they are communicating, they will be in big trouble. 

Ryan drags through the next few days, and his parents' friend, Henry, known for his classic rainbow suspenders, visits again from New York. The whole time Henry is there is spent fishing, playing card games, or making insane, immature bets with one another. Ryan's Mom and Dad ask Henry to keep an eye on Ryan, and make sure he isn't contacting Sarah while he is there alone with him. As Ryan is walking up the stairs to his room, Henry confesses that he really doesn't mind Ryan contacting Sarah, and that they would find a way around the no-contacting rule anyway. Little did Ryan know, Henry was playing a big part in the whole Skeleton Creek Gold Dredge mystery, and Henry's craziness almost cost Ryan his life in the first book.....

Sarah's videos keep coming, and Ryan wakes up in the dead of the night with a not-so-right feeling. He looks underneath the poster concealing the ghost's message, and finds a new one written underneath the first one. "The apostle will see you now". 

After awhile, Sarah discovers a secret meeting group that gather in the dredge, called the crossbones. Sarah sets up a hidden camera in there, and find the 2 remaining crossbones members, Gladys Morgan, and Ryan's Dad, discussing something quiet enough not to be picked up on audio. They head out of the haunted dredge after burning a paper in a flaming candle. Sarah and Ryan do more searching, and find that a local doctor, Doctor Watts, may have some connection to the crossbones group, and sneaks into his huge, maze-like house to investigate. She walks into a room that appears to be a living room, and finds a murdered Dr. Watts lying on the couch, pale and limp. Sarah runs out, wondering whether the murderer was still in the house or not. It is also in this book where we are introduced to the blue rock, a special meeting place that Ryan and Sarah discovered when they were still little kids. They begin to send notes to each other from the rock, because texting and e-mailing has gotten too risky now that they're back in school.

Ryan and Sarah make a decision to go back to the dredge for the 3rd time, this time meaning business.They continue on to the secret room they discovered before, and open what they found to be the cryptex. This opens a hidden door. Ryan goes into it and shuts the door behind him. He turns around to find the ghost of old Joe Bush, or at least what he thought to be the ghost. The ghost comes to attack Ryan, and Ryan fights him off as long as he can. Daryl Bonner, the suspicious park ranger and soon discovered to be Joe Bush's son, comes and pulls the ghost off of Ryan, knocking him down to the ground, unconscious. The door opens, and Ryan's Dad and Sarah join Daryl and Ryan in the secret-secret room. They quickly realize that the ghost isn't actually a ghost at all, and quickly unmask him, only to find a crazy Henry. Ryan and Sarah go up to the floor and, using the information they gathered in the last few weeks, pry open the secured floorboards and find over 40 million dollars worth of gold that had been hidden for years. They pull it out happily, and everyone calls Ryan and Sarah the greatest detectives of all. Only one problem.... Henry has vanished. Follow the story from both Ryan's perspective, reading his journal, and Sarah's, by watching the videos she films. What makes this book even more mysterious is the fact that it could all be real.. pick up the next book to find out where the mystery of Skeleton Creek leads Ryan and Sarah next..

Did you like this book? : Yes, I liked the video/journal concept of it, and watching the ghost in videos makes it even creepier, I like that.

Would you reccomend this book to others? : Yes.

READ MEH READ MEH!!!

I'm going to start off by saying this- Solver, you need to get on the Dark Eden FB page immediatelyyyyy!!! I was reading through it, and you won the signed book! EPICNESS!!!

Soo, anyways.... I have another hour and a half to be on here, then I'm gone until Sunday. Sadface. :(

Surprisingly, nothing new has happened lately. No paranormal experiences, nothing with the Masons, not a thing. Well, actually, there was one thing, and this is pretty important.... I found a Mason ring. In a box. At my Nana's. I'm going to look more at it next time I'm there.

This has been interesting!

Well, I was super excited to hear that I am going to be home until 5:30pm tonight, so I could get on the site, and I was even more excited to see what everybody had found! The 42 stuff, L.A. and Arlington, it's all awesome, and you guys are all awesome! I've been researching that stuff, and I found a Japanese (sushi, ewwy) restaurant called Asahi in Arlington. This place, I don't know, but I'm looking. I also found a Japanese American National Museum in L.A., might have something, I'm still looking through the site and the events page.

I am still deciding whether I should do it, but I'm thinking of keeping a weekly journal on here, summing up everything we've found, all the weird stuff happening, and the paranormal, then just putting it in a journal post so we don't need to read a whole bunch of stuff. Still thinking about it....

A couple weird things have happened to me, too. I'll put them in the order they happened. I went to a museum in Davenport, Iowa, just for one exhibit. I have no clue how I talked my way into that one, but my Nana took me.

At Nana's house, where I'm staying:

1- Saw a shadow walk across the front lawn. Disappeared in the middle of walking.
2- Heard footsteps while people were asleep.

On our way to the museum:

1- Started to feel really sick and almost passed out on 42nd street. Note the 42.
2- Saw a building being built by P R Masonry. I googled P R Masonry, and it's the official masons of Davenport. They're called Mason Contractors.
3- Saw the symbol twice.

Inside the museum:

1- There was a section on mining, and in the mining section was a display about dredges. When I walked in there, I had to sit down, I almost collapsed.

A whole bunch of weird stuff, the paranormal things that happened got me excited, though. I just couldn't ghost hunt when it happened, I would've woken everybody up. :(

The Week Ahead... Sadly. :(

I have some terrible terrible news for everybody. I'm gonna be gone most of next week. Yes, it does make me sad, this is the longest I've -ever- been away from SCIR at one time.

I'm packing up for a week long vacation to a town with a population of 200-something people, a town where internet connection is almost heard of. The day that this town has internet connection is the day the world is ending. It never happens. I got lucky once, and had it for... 2 minutes. Yeah. It sucks. Anyways, the place I'm going to is my Grandpa (Papa)'s house. He is most likely the only person besides the post mistress who has a working computer. One more problem- it's his work computer. I've been on it before, using my I'm-just-a-wittle-angel look, and it normally works, so I'll try and convince him to give me five or ten minutes on his computer. Another thing that makes it so I can't guarantee this will work is that the computer is linked to the office he works at, so his browsing history is sent in and they might see the site. I can't clear the history because he has work stuff on it. What I end up having to do is take some time, alone, to disable the thingie-majigurr that sends the history, get on the site for a few minutes, and quickly un-disable (?) it. The chances of me being able to do this are very very slim, and I don't want to risk being seen doing it. Sooo, yeah, I will definitely let you guys know if I did it. (I always play techno music when I do it, makes me feel like I'm an expert at it, or in the Matrix.) XD

There are two times I might be able to get on here at Mom's house with my trusty *cough crappy cough* laptop, though.

1- Today (Monday) or Tuesday- When I get my ears pierced (scaryyy) I will need to be dropped off at Mom's, and Nana always brings me over to her house in times like this because I tend to run late a lot, so I can say I need to put on makeup or change my shoes or something, and sneak a couple minutes on the computer to check SCIR.

2- Wednesday Night- Nana will need to drop me off over here again because Dad is coming to pick us up. Again, I can be "running a little late" and fit in another few minutes on the computer. Not very likely with this one, but still possible.

Friday night I will be dropped off for Dad's and will most likely be gone the whole weekend.

Soo, I'm really sorry guys, I wish I could stay here and help out with everything, but I really need a break from the hectic divorced-parents life, and now's my chance to do it. Like I said, I'll try and get on when I can, but that's not very often. I feel really bad, just leaving for a week, leaving all you guys, but I kinda need it if I want to keep my sanity. I'll talk to you guys later, and again, I'm really sorry about leaving, I truly am. I'll be back in about a week if you don't hear from me. :( :( :( :( :( :(

So far, still weird.....

Solver just posted his new video. Anybody who needs to know knows already, so I don't think I'll post that on here just yet....

He plans on ghost hunting at his cousin's house, where he saw the entity. Only one problem with that:

I think that that entity is demonic.

Two things point towards this being true. I, of course, cannot come up with an exact answer, but I can come pretty close to the truth. I'll quickly list the things that made me come to my conclusion.

1) Shifts shape- That spirit in the picture he has has a -very- big head. Most normal people do not have heads this big, because this was about the size of half a window. Demonic entities have the ability to shift their body shapes, most of the time.

2) It's kind of like a stalker- I'm not going into detail about this one, but I know some things....

These are a few guidelines to follow when hunting for demonic entities. This isn't only to Solver, but to anybody who needs it. The Do's and Don'ts of the subject.

Don'ts:
-Don't be afraid. It gets energy from your fear, and fear makes it happy.
-Don't think any negative thoughts. The second you think something bad, the demon will take advantage of it.
-Don't let it control you. If you feel yourself slowly slipping away, attempt to fight it off. If you can't, leave immediately.

Do's:
-Think happy thought. :) (Friends, family, hobbies, bands, awards, etc.)
-Walk in with confidence.
-Show the spirit that you're the powerful one, not it.

The demonic entity will only be what you think it to be. If you think of it as a big powerful being, it will be that. If you think of it as a pink unicorn, it will be that. Well, not exactly, but you get what I mean.

I hope this helped anybody with a problem out there *cough, cough*, and stay safe while doing it. If you feel unsafe at all -LEAVE IMMEDIATELY-.

Cya guys, Hyypur is o-u-t! XD

Welcome!!!

Welcome to my new blog!! For the 3rd time!!! -_-

I'm really hoping to keep this one up and running for a long time. When I say long time, I mean I'll still be checking this thing when I become and exchange student and am living in Scotland with Uncle David (Dreamer, much?)

Normally, in my blogs, I will cover one thing. This blog is going to cover EVERYTHING!! Skeleton Creek, paranormal experiences, Ghost Adventures, School, everything I do! Well, not everything, but, yeahh, you get the point.

Team, I promise, this is my last blog, Peak or not. I hate having to delete them, but it was necessary at the time.
