The Paranormal Blog

The following just made me sick to my stomach, and I had to get it out here...

Yesterday I watched an episode of the Oprah Winfrey show that was a follow-up to an earlier episode on spouse abuse that originally aired May 8th, 2007.

Did anyone watch the May 8th show? It featured a videotape of a woman by the name of Susan Still being brutalised both physically, and emotionally by her then husband. It was absolutely sickening! The tape was made by their son who was forced into filming it. You can read more on this via Oprah.com.

Why you maybe asking am I blogging my frustration here, and not on my family blog the Urban Zoo where it would seemingly be more appropriate?

Well, yesterday during the follow-up show Oprah read a letter from the victim's former husband that was sent from the prison where he is incarcerated for 30+ years. And in that letter he blamed the "GHOSTS" for what he had done...yes, I said the ghosts or evil spirits he claims was haunting their home.

My reaction was to SCREAM!

NEVER in all my years of researching ghosts & hauntings have I come across a person being forced to commit violent acts against their loved ones by a ghost. This is just Hollywood nonsense! Fine for a horror movie, but in no way reality.

Granted this idiot is not the first to try the demons/ghosts/aliens made me do it crap, but I guess because my emotions were already so heightened by the absolute revulsion I felt towards that video, and my admiration for Susan for escaping, ending this abuse, and publicly coming forward in order to help other women that I just needed to verbally scream my utter frustration at this pitiful excuse for such horrendous behaviour. And in the process make a further mockery of those who have witnessed ghostly phenomena.

CREEP!!!

Thanks for letting me vent!
