    GHOSTS OF AMITYVILLE - NEWSLETTER #21

    GHOSTS OF AMITYVILLE - NEWSLETTER #21

    While I’m busy in post-production on the first feature length episode of my new series - A Haunting We Will Go, I’m reflecting while editing a segment where I regard the impact that The Amityville Horror (both the tragic murders and subsequent ghost story) had on me as a child. A haunting is not only of paranormal activity. It lives in the mind. If introduced in your formative years, it will always have an effect. I think it’s certainly the tragedy of the Defeo family (who we’re all murdered in their beds by their eldest son) that is the true mystery and the most haunting aspect of its folklore. Join me on tonight’s newsletter for a meditation on The Ghosts Of Amityville.Join us tonight (beginning at 8:00 pm ET) New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#offtothewitch #ghoststory #haunting #amityville #psychic #paranormal #amityvillehorror #metaphysical

    LITTLE GIRL LOST - with special guests Dave Spinks and Serenity Jenny

    EPISODE #80

    I was filming scenes (for A Haunting We Will Go) with Dave Spinks and Serenity Jenny in a cemetery. Something quickly came over Dave. He felt a psychic pull in a particular direction and ultimately he realized there was someone calling him from beyond the grave. It was a young teenage girl whose final resting place represents a life taken too soon from a car accident. On the grave was the etchings of an alien ship and markers were inscribed with poems and prose of her interests in the paranormal. This of course added another story to A Haunting We Will Go.Join us on Wednesday night (beginning at 8:00 pm ET) for a discussion of the events of that day and the story the little girl lost…New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#offtothewitch #ghoststory #haunting #hauntedcemetery #psychic #paranormal

    BURN, WITCH, BURN! - Newsletter #20

    BURN, WITCH, BURN! - Newsletter #20

    Wrongful persecution and prosecution in the name of heresy has been a plague on society throughout history. There is no human being who owns the right to dehumanize another person for their own grievances and agenda. Even alleged murderers deserve a trial and a full, unbiased examination of the facts before they are entirely condemned. Facts are often manipulated and people are wrongfully accused... even put to death. Throughout our history human beings, and often entire cultures, have been labeled as heretics, witches and even demons in an attempt to completely dehumanize them in social circles and in the public eye.Mindless mobs repeating the phrase “Burn The Witch!!” then countless innocents were destroyed because of the true evil behind the curtain.Often the ones pointing the finger and talking in your ear are guilty of overt narcissism, envy, rage, covetousness; ultimately bearing false witness, all for their own political or personal agenda. Join me (beginning on Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET) for a historical, artistic and cinematic exploration of examples of witch hunts.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#christophergaretano #offtothewitch #podcast #movie

    THE BLACK HOPE CURSE - NEWSLETTER #19

    THE BLACK HOPE CURSE - NEWSLETTER #19

    There’s a reality, that wherever you stand chances are highly probable that there are bodies beneath you. Unmarked graves are all around us. Many hauntings are suggested to be the result of desecrated ground.Even today, any geophysical and scientific analysis of what “ghost” activity actually is, has been sparse in comparison to what it could have been if the phenomena was taken seriously, more often. Millions of eyewitness accounts throughout human history should be enough of a foundation to build upon.One story in particular fits this criteria. It occurred just outside of Crosby Texas, between 1980 and 1987. It’s called the “Black Hope Curse” and it’s a chilling account of a dark shadow that consumed a housing development. Unbeknownst to its residents, it was built (in vulgar disregard) over an old slave cemetery.Voices in the night, transparent images of rotten corpses in the hallways, sickness, untimely death and skeletons found buried in the garden.What happened there?Join me for the latest newsletter where I discuss the usual updates and the terrifying story of Black Hope.New episodes of Off To The Witch premiere every Wednesday night at 8:00pm ET.Off To The Witch can be found on all major podcast platforms as well as my YouTube channel (at offtothewitch)@highlight#christophergaretano #offtothewitch #podcast #haunting #poltergeistactivity #true
