A recap of the last one hundred posts at M.P.L

I thought I had posted more but it seems that this is my one hundredth post to M.P.L.
I thought about what I may do for this post, but I couldn't really think of much. So keeping it simple I'm going to take a look back at some of my favorite posts and things that I have done with M.P.L.

Some of my favorite posts

I remember when I first thought about writing a blog about the paranormal, I was busy with another blog that featured funny videos and such and was getting a little bored of it, I no longer keep that blog up to date. So I created My Paranormal Life with a simple post saying "hi" and for the next few posts I simply made up junk. As I posted more often I realized that I couldn't get bored of paranormal news and videos, especially after seeing the video mentioned in the post I wrote about the Valentown ghost video, for me at the time it was the most amazing ghost video I had seen, not long after that I saw and wrote a post about a Gettysburg ghost video for me another one of those amazing ghost videos. For me those two are my favorite ghost videos out of all that I have posted.

Another video the made me think differently about ghost photos was the video Hundreds of scary Japanese ghost photos, I posted one video out of a series of twelve I think, and the videos contained hundreds of ghostly images. What got me thinking was that you could dismiss most of them if not all as mistaken identities, double exposures and photographer errors, but a lot of the photos had very similar setups to their more famous western counter parts, a lot of the pictures in the videos sometimes look very similar the photos in The Top Ten Best GHOST PHOTOGRAPHS Ever Taken posted at The Knight Shift.

At first I was more interested in ghost videos, but became more interested in cryptozoology after seeing a video that claimed to be a a live megalodon, since posting it, the general consensus in most of the discussions I've read is that it is a Greenland shark, but without knowing the actual size of the cage in the video, most seem to think it is a little bit of an illusion.

One of my more recent posts took of like a rocket, well that's what most seem to think it is and I would have to agree, it got picked up by fark.com and I got about 15 to 20 thousand visits from it in a week. I did get a little grief about my research and description of it, but I was only using the info that was with the video. It did get me looking at UFO videos a lot more, a topic I wasn't really interested in, mainly because most UFO videos show little tiny specks in the sky that are very shaky, but I have seen a few more that are pretty impressive since then.

My Paranormal Life Media

Along with commenting on paranormal news and videos, I have produced a few of my own videos, for the most part they are all first attempts at something and are leading on to the videos and other media that I am working on at the moment.

The video below was the first video that I made for this blog. A very simple video slide show of a trip I took to a cemetery.

With the second video I jazzed things up a bit and animated the title, the content was pretty much the same as the first, but there were a lot of photos with orb type things in them. I put those down to a rain and flash combo.

The third video is a short preview of a 3D animation that I am currently working on, which is taking bloody ages to make, the models and bone system are taking up huges amounts of time, and I'm still only learning as I go with the program that I am using.

The forth video, which has kind of been a little misunderstood in some cases was How to make a fake ghost video. I made it initially because I was sick of seeing totally fake ghost videos, but for some reason they still had comments by people that totally believed they were real. In knowing how to duplicate the results one can spot a fake more easily, that's the way I see it and why I made it.


Below are some of the photos that are featured in some of the videos above, they are the most interesting photos that I have taken, farely beautiful I think, but sadly i think it's just the flash reflecting off of rain droplets.


Paranormal Life Community

Just some info on where else I am online.

First of there's my MySpace page

I enjoyed that, I nice little recap of the past 100 posts with hopefully more to come., feel free to add me.

Then there's the Flickr group, Scary Creepy Weird at this time there are currently 43 members with 150 photos in the pool, some very cool images there, but not many relating to the paranormal.

There's also my IamHaunted profile, it's pretty much MySpace, but it only deals with people interested in the paranormal, there's been some controversy there lately, I hope it doesn't get to bad because it's a very nice idea.

I've forgotten about the magnify group, so here it is again Paranormal Life magnify group.

And lastly MyBlogLog, been spending a lot of time here, well mainly coz it seems like every blog I visit these days has the widget on it. It's also just fun.

I enjoyed that, a nice recap of the last one hundred posts at My Paranormal Life.
