Haunted Airbnb Rentals

The Destination America website recently posted a list of five of the best haunted Airbnb rentals in the world, so of course I wanted to share it here. If you're planning on visiting London, Essex, Savannah, New Orleans, or Saint Paul and want to stay in a haunted Airbnb, check out the list. : )

Movie Spotlight: The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death

The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is a 2014 movie starring Phoebe Fox, Jeremy Irvine, Helen McCrory, Adrian Rawlins, Leanne Best, and Ned Dennehy.  It is the sequel to The Woman in Black (of course), which came out in 2012 and starred Daniel Radcliffe. During World War II, a group of orphans moves into London's Eel Marsh House with Eve (Phoebe Fox) and Jean (Helen McCrory), their caretakers. (That's a terrible idea...didn't they see the first movie?!) Things get weird almost immediately because apparently the Woman in Black can't give these people one night of peace before she starts haunting them.  One of the orphans sees the Woman in Black the next morning when two kids lock him in the nursery, and one of those kids is dead by the next morning, so I guess the Woman in Black doesn't take bullying lightly. ; )

I don't remember much about the first Woman in Black movie, other than the fact that I liked it more than this one, so you probably don't have to watch the first one to understand the sequel.  The Woman in Black 2 was kind of boring, and like most of the horror movies I watched, not scary enough, but the acting was better than a lot of the acting I've seen in the movies I've watched for this blog.

My rating: 6/10

Unsealed: Alien Files: Alien Hot Spots

I recently watched the half-hour show Unsealed: Alien Files, which is hosted by John Wells. This episode was called "Alien Hot Spots," and it focused on areas that are known for having a great deal of UFO activity.  These are the four hot spots the show focused on:

-Los Angeles, California:  Hundreds of UFOs were seen in Topanga Canyon on June 14, 1992.  The "Battle Over Los Angeles" occurred on February 24, 1942 when the U.S. Army tried to shoot a UFO down, but it got away...the next day, the Secretary of the Navy said it was a weather balloon.  (You can find more about L.A.'s numerous UFO sightings here:  http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_flyingobjects54.htm.

-Texas: There have been hundreds of UFO sightings here since the 1800s.  It is said that in 1897, an alien was buried in Aurora after its UFO crashed.  Mysterious glowing lights (the Marfa Lights) have been spotted multiple times a year in Marfa since the 1950s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfa_lights).  A UFO was once spotted heading toward Corpus Christi at 2500 miles per hour.

-London, England: There have been 12,000 UFO sightings in London in the past sixty years, as well as several reports of airplanes almost colliding with UFOs.  In Rendlesham Forest in late 1980, strange lights came from a triangular UFO that was sitting on the ground
(http://www.therendleshamforestincident.com/Home.htm).

-China: There have been reports of a flaming UFO (http://www.ufoevidence.org/documents/doc476.htm) and a mass UFO sighting.

Unsealed: Alien Files is an interesting show, but I wish it were an hour instead of thirty minutes because I would've liked to hear more details about each of the incidents mentioned on the show.   Despite this, I will definitely watch more episodes.

My rating: 7/10
