Australian actress Anna Torv is to take the lead role in JJ Abrams’ new sci-fi drama Fringe.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Torv is the filmmaker’s latest female discovery, following in the footsteps of Keri Russell (Felicity), Jennifer Garner (Alias) and Evangeline Lilly (Lost).

The Fox show, written by Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, will also star Blair Brown and Jasika Nicole.

Torv will play Olivia Warren, a young FBI agent working with institutionalised scientist Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble) to tackle paranormal phenomena.

Filming for the two-hour pilot will begin in Toronto next month. Fox has not yet announced when it will air.

“Bolt the door and beware of things that go bump in the night, A Haunting chronicles the terrifying true stories of the paranormal told by those who experienced true horror tales. A Haunting dramatizes some of the scariest real-life ghost stories and uses the latest forensic tools to reveal a world in which tragedy, suicide and murder have left psychic impressions so powerful that they still resonate decades later.” Snipped from The Discovery Channel website.

In my opinion, A Haunting  is the BEST paranormal series ever!  The real scary thing about it is that it is based on true accounts!  They were supposed to start a new season, Season 5, but nothing yet   I think they stalled so they could launch Paranormal State, which is good, but doesn’t even compare to A Haunting.  

You can still watch A Haunting on Discovery and if you wish to check the website for times please click HERE

I can not wait until Season 5!!!!

It was a cold-dark Christmas eve, around 3:30am. I was wide awake, but still trying to get to sleep.  I was laying in bed, on my side, when all of a sudden the blankets got real taught and began to pull downward, as if someone was there.  However, there was no one else in the room.  I was so terrified at what was happening, but I still managed to fight to regain the covers.  I did so 3x before I lost and they slid all the way down.  I tried to get up, but I was unable to.  I managed to break  free, but I will never escape it’s memory. It occurred over 4 years ago, but I still get shivers to this day.

****************************

There are people in this world that rely on God to wash away their sins, to help them cope with the fact that they are flawed, simply for being human. Some of them even feel that they have license to sin as long as they go to church frequently. I have met such a person and I have sensed their darkness from day one. I even told this to another that I felt could empathize with me. When I informed them that I felt a lot of tension and animosity coming from the other person, they seemed a bit freaked out that I knew this and was very apprehensive in what they said to me. A few weeks later they admitted that this person was in fact causing them grief. As time passed my suspicions came to light when they started directing this hate towards myself proving that unfortunately I was right about them. I always give people the benefit of the doubt so I put my feelings aside to allow them, in a way, a chance to redeem themselves…. in this case I wish I didn’t.
