The Haunting Facts

Over the past couple of weeks I not only watched the movie "The Haunting in Connecticut" but a couple of "A Haunting..." TV programs. I watch the programs almost as comedies because the crap that these people spout out is hilarious. For the record, I do not truly believe in ghosts, but the entertainment value of these programs cannot be denied.



First off, the people in these programs come across as idiots who do not stay consistent in their stories. For example, the last one I saw had a woman who stated near the end of the program that she was an atheist but now believes in the afterlife because of her haunting experience. At the beginning of the program, the same woman was telling a story about how her child was scared before she realized the ghostly activity, and she said some prayers with the child. Now maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that atheists don't say prayers to God with their children. Speaking of atheists, how come they never are haunted. It's always some God fearing christian (never Catholic) whose own reverend or preacher is unequipped to deal with an exorcism. Then this old couple, the Warrens I believe, who study supernatural phenomena come in with their own priest and save the day after a showdown.

My favorite is when a demon is haunting the home and giving the family messages such as "Get out". What the hell does a demon want with a house, especially in this economy? I thought demons wanted to corrupt humankind, not build their property portfolio. At least if a demon is going to infiltrate a house, why wouldn't it pick a multimillion dollar estate rather than a falling apart 100 year old dwelling?

I also like how the air gets chilly cold when the demon is near. I thought demons came from Hell which is supposed to be hot not cold. If demons can harness the power of chilly air, why is Hell filled with fire and brimstone rather than icebergs and penguins? I lived in Arizona and Nevada for the majority of my life, and I often find myself wishing I had one of these demons in the summer months. Free AC baby!
