Destination America: An exorcism

Some are opposed… others are non-believers. Regardless, the live television exorcism set to premiere tonight–Halloween Eve 2015–is making a number of headlines.

The WASHINGTON POST profiled hell night 

 in an article about the DESTINATION AMERICA live show..

Emily Yahr wrote,

All reality TV producers have to prepare for worst-case scenarios when they air a live event. Jodi Tovay’s worries are a bit more unusual, because she is sending paranormal investigators into a house they believe is infested with demonic spirits.

“The worst-case scenario is that one of these entities will attach to someone,” Tovay said. “It is dangerous.”

Luckily, Tovay says, the physical symptoms are usually obvious when an evil spirit attaches itself to a person: nausea, scratches, superhuman strength. A team of paramedics will be on standby, as will police. She’s ready.

But if you believe that exorcism is real, that demons are not just imaginary devils of our wild antiquated religious imagination, then how can anyone be ready? How could one prepare for the battle against evil. All while the rest of the world watches..

More from the POST report,

Welcome to “Exorcism: Live!” airing at 9 p.m. Friday on Destination America, a cable channel owned by Discovery Communications. The two-hour telecast tasks a clergyman, a psychic and the team from the network’s “Ghost Asylum” series to go into the spooky suburban St. Louis home that inspired “The Exorcist” book and movie. Ghost hunters insist that the house is filled with a dark, sinister energy, and “Exorcism: Live!” is determined to cleanse it.

DESTINATION AMERICA’s website

 prepares witnesses to the live event for the story.

Maryland’s famed Roland Doe–the subject of reality who was played by the fictional Linda Blair’s Reagan in THE EXORCIST horror movie–traveled back and forth between the state and St. Louis in the 1940s. The house Doe stayed at in Missouri is the house where Destination America will attempt to propel out demons tonight. Even more, Doe underwent an exorcism on the second floor of the home. The rumor, the legend, the story: The house has been possessed every since then by an evil entity..

The Washington POST story points out something that many have thought of–and something Destination America has bragging rights about:

The most thrilling aspect for Tovay is that this will be live. No one can accuse them of manipulating anything, she said — a criticism often leveled at paranormal shows.

“We can’t fake it on live TV. We can’t fake evidence or pump in sound effects. The drama is unfolding right in front of you,” Tovay said.

But what about the people (okay, lots of people) who believe that this is all completely made up? Long, the clergy member who will accompany the group, is used to that. He just doesn’t have time to worry about it anymore.

“I’m not here to prove that demons exist. I am here to help families who know they do,” Long said.

The St. Louis DISPATCH gave an interior look into the house. 

 Peeking into the hallways and lighted home, it’s actually remarkably lovely.. Even the aged basement and attic are both well maintained. A visual peer would prove no spirits, no devils, and no darkness besides the normal shadows that would accompany any sundown.  The exact opposite of what we are being told by psychics and priests, ghost hunters and television executives.

But some are not so kind.

Pre-reviews are coming in. Without the event able to have taken place yet, we are relying on the mystery that will unfold. VARIETY for one is not impressed..

Columnist Brian Lowry labels the event a stunt.

 From his article:

Discovery group president Henry Schleiff, who counts Destination America among the networks he oversees, along with the higher-profile Investigation Discovery, has a bit of P.T. Barnum in him, but he’s much too polite to ever suggest that those people tuning in expecting to see glasses fly around the room might be suckers.

As for the likelihood that “Exorcism Live!” will deliver anything dramatic enough to require steam-cleaning the carpet, he says, “I don’t think we will have Geraldo Rivera and the empty vaults,” referring to the much lampooned but highly rated 1986 special devoted to opening Al Capone’s “secret” vault, which spurred a wave of copycats before the trend cooled. “The people we’re working with really believe in this,” Schleiff adds, noting that much of the public does as well.

Not kind words. There are equally unkind words from other pundits in the online peanut gallery.

The truth is, we don’t know what will happen until tonight. If producers are planning up some trick to ensure we get our money’s worth, then it’s yet to be seen.. Or on the other hand, if reality will prevail and either nothing at all (if that’s your reality) or something strange (if that’s your reality) then we will have something to talk about on Halloween morning.

And if nothing else, Destination America has already won.  The buildup has been spectacular–almost a year long, I heard about this first months ago back in the spring time warmth, long before the leaves changed to their vibrant colors of death.  The network has conjured up attention from mainstays of media and alternate sources as well. They won. Even if they don’t conjure demons or ghouls..

An Unknown Manmade Object Is Headed for Earth's Atmosphere

“Earlier this month, an object called WT1190F​ was spotted on a trajectory that will bring it right to Earth. It came here from far beyond the moon, and its hollow nature and cylindrical shape suggest that it’s not an asteroid of meteorite, but human-made. It won’t cause any major problems on the ground, but there’s still something troubling: Astronomers don’t know what the heck it is, or why it’s only now coming up on their radar. ”

But it is almost certainly human made .. Maybe a remnant of an old rocket or the Apollo missions. And soon it will hit the planet earth..

Horrifying times for making Hollywood horror movies?

This article details the apparent lack of interest in Hollywood horror.
The article is right..
The newest PARANORMAL ACTIVITY flick is a sure sign of the big budget failures..

But there’s hope. And it’s not Hollywood. Independent horror makers (and all genres for that matter) are sorting things out and spicing things up far stronger than the known actors guild and pious studios ..

There’s hope.
Just look beyond what’s spoon fed and find your own meal..

Video shows a bar stool falls on its side without anyone near it

<b>Filmed in Cato bar in Singapore’s Chinatown district, the vision depicts three men sitting inside the venue when a bar stool begins to wobble back and forth.
The CCTV switches to another angle, which shows the stool rocking about more forcefully until it eventually topples over, startling the men who rush over to inspect it.
But the scene turns truly spine-tingling when a tiny white ghost-like figure appears to emerge from the back of the bar, scampering quickly past them.</b>

Sugar Is Definitely Toxic, a New Study Says

First meat and cancer.. Hot dogs and human DNA.. And. Now the sacred cow and holy grail of Halloween buckets across the world: Sugary candy..

From TIME:
“
But proving that the rise of the chronic diseases was actually linked to higher sugar consumption is a challenge. Dr. Robert Lustig, from the department of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, who has made a name for himself publishing books and research addressing the question of sugar’s effects on the body, wanted clearer answers. Now, in a paper published Tuesday, he and his colleagues believe they have come up with the definitive evidence that sugar, as Lustig says, “is toxic.”
”

Of course this isn’t the first time sugar has made the don’t eat list.. Katie Couric gave us a sugar free challenge a year ago.

But this week the war on food, or at least food-lite, is evident..

Go veg.

A mysterious chunk of space debris will hit Earth off the coast of Sri Lanka on November 13. Scientists have no clear idea what it is, other than that it is likely artificial in origin, and have dubbed the object WT1190F.

MORE..

“It’s a lost piece of space history that’s come back to haunt us,” Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Nature.

Detected by the Catalina Sky Survey, an observation lab at the University of Tucson, the alleged piece of space debris initially puzzled observers. But astronomers then went back through the lab’s past images from telescopes, and noticed that it had been present for quite a while.

BUT WHAT!

What could it be?

November 13.. some lucky or unlucky water (not land) will find out near the coast of Sri Lanka..

WAR! Industry rebels ahead of WHO report declaring red and processed meats ‘cause cancer’ - including sausages and bacon

The food war is about to get mean..

A WHO report is going to label certain processed meats to be as bad as smoking..

The food industry is fighting back early.

While industry groups are preparing for a damaging blow to consumer confidence as a result, The North American Meat Institute (Nami) has accused the IARC of “dramatic and alarmist over-reach,” CNBC reported.

Nami president Barry Carpenter said: “Red and processed meats are among 940 substances reviewed by IARC found to pose some level of theoretical ‘hazard’.

“Only one substance, a chemical in yoga pants, has been declared by IARC not to cause cancer,” he claimed.

Yoga pants.

Meat.

And the food industry:

It’s about to get mean.

WAR! Industry rebels ahead of WHO report declaring red and processed meats ‘cause cancer’ - including sausages and bacon

Before you take another bite if that hot dog, you may want to read this.

A shock report is making cravers of the highly unhealthy “food” like product think twice: There are reports that HUMAN DNA is being found in the meat.

The source of this: A real and valid group, quoted by actual news agencies..

You are what you eat. Perhaps to the extreme in the case of hot dogs..

MORE:

Clear Foods, which “uses genomic technology to analyze the world’s foods at a molecular level, ingredient by ingredient,” released a report recently that it said was designed to look at the accuracy of the content labels of several major hot dog brands.A new report, however, adds extra meaning to the phrase “you don’t want to know how the sausage gets made.”

The company analyzed 345 hot dog and sausage products from 75 brands and 10 retailers, and said they found “human DNA in 2% of the samples, and in 2/3rds of the vegetarian samples.”

Additionally, 10 percent of all vegetarian products appeared to contain meat.

The reporting continues: 

Despite some of the shocking findings, Clear Foods reports “there are a number of hot dog manufacturers, large and small, that are producing high-quality hot dogs with integrity.”

Butterball, McCormick, Eckrich and Hebrew National were among the major brands that received top scores from Clear Foods. Gardein was the top specialty or regional brand.

That’s fine. They can produce the higher quality.

You know.. I think I will just continue by 20-year-tradition (I admit I ate them during the early years) and avoid this ‘food.’ And also reinforce my son’s 4 and a half year tradition of not eating them as well.

Human DNA, eh?

Nice.

People wish they could be Oscar Meier wieners, I guess somehow we got the chance.

MARCH OF THE MIGRANTS!

UK DAIL MAIL, linked here, reports:

Battling howling winds, driving rain and icy temperatures, thousands of migrants today marched into Slovenia.

Photographed from above, the refugees formed a single column as they crossed into the country from Croatia.

It comes as Slovenia’s Prime Minister warns the EU will break up if leaders cannot agree on how to deal with crisis.

MORE..

Nine days after Hungary’s move to seal its southern border drove unprecedented migrant flows into tiny Slovenia, Prime Minister Miro Cerar sent out a dramatic call to fellow central and eastern leaders in Brussels for emergency talks.He said: ‘If we don’t find a solution today, if we don’t do everything we can today, then it is the end of the European Union as such. If we don’t deliver concrete action, I believe Europe will start falling apart.'Since October 17, more than 62,000 migrants have arrived in Slovenia, with some 14,000 still passing through the country on today alone. Cerar said Croatia, which has already seen some 230,000 migrants pass through since mid-September, was still waiving migrants through into Slovenia without alerting Slovenia authorities.
