Taking the TTC regularly allows ample time for me to read. I am currently enjoying an biographical book based on Jim Morrison, No One Here Gets Out Alive. He believed that fear is one of our greatest emotions. From what I have read so far, it is obvious to me that he was constantly thrill seeking to attain that almighty high of the ultimate sensation… fear. Another reason fear is one of the most sought after emotion, is because it makes you feel alive and grateful for your existence. We all love to be afraid at times, but as long as we are able to control it, like viewing horror movies or following the paranormal. You wade into the pool of darkness only to run out into the safe warmth of light. Back to Mr. Morrison… he was not only very intelligent, creative and talented, but he was into the occult too. One of his “wives” was a witch and he participated in a wicca ceremony in order to marry her. He also enjoyed other types of rituals too, including drinking human blood.

In 2004 the producers of Creepy Canada were offering $50,000.00 for paranormal proof.

Since that offer is no longer valid I decided to do a little ressearch and found links to other interested parties willing to part with some bills for paranormal proof. Wouldn’t it be great if it were someone in Toronto that has this proof! Hopefully someone will represent and make us Torontonians proud! Wiki has the links!

GO TORONTO!!!

I was bored and didn’t really feel like going to sleep yet, so I did a little search and found this video and thought I should post it. I’ve never seen an actual ghost before… other than the glowing spheres that have showed up in a few of my family photos. I’m not sure if this is legit or not, but I certainly hope it is.

What do you think?

While reading Haunted Toronto, written by John Robert Columbo, I came across a section featuring a haunted lighthouse that is located at the southwestern tip of the Toronto Islands. I was really chilled with the events that Mr. Columbo entailed.
I have been to the Islands dozens of times and always felt something eerie, heavy and dark there. It contradicted the beauty that surrounded me so I always shook it off, but when I learned of the lighthouse, all the pieces feel into place and made sense. The gruesome tale involved a caretaker and soldiers that were in search of lager, but the only thing was that the caretaker did not want to give it up. Well I’m sure you can probably guess what happened next, but for those who want every juicy detail then might I suggest that you read the book or search about the lighthouse on the net. I found a site that is dedicated to the lighthouse and it’s history…

I attempted to go to the lighthouse this fall but the ferry was on a reduced schedule and only dropping off and picking up those from Ward Island. We tried to walk, but we didn’t even make it to Centre Island. I was very disappointed, but I guess I will re-visit in the spring.
