After I started filming Amityville a lot of people on the crew and cast started experiencing weird things they couldn't explain. I didn't really buy it until a couple weeks into filming.

Every morning, without fail, my eyelids would shoot open at exactly 3:15 a.m. The first week I would just look over at the clock and turn over and go back to sleep. The second week I didn't even bother to look at the clock anymore I just stared up at the ceiling until I feel back to sleep. Around the third week though it just got a little to nerve wracking. I'd slide out of bed slowly and creep around my dark hotel room looking for god knows what. I'd usually wake up on the couch the next morning by the glow of the TV screen with a small chill and a few beads of sweat gathered on my forehead.

I never really thought about paranormal things until I did this movie. Never really thought about the possibility of some souls that just weren't ready or able to cross over.

I've also found myself growing a small obsession with old houses. Every For Sale sign catches my eye. If the house even looks older, I'll pull over immediately no matter what I'm doing or where I'm going. Most the time I just get a glimpse from the outside, sometimes daring to walk up the front stairs and lay my hand over the doorknob before walking away. Other times I plan ahead, go to open houses or set up appointments with an agent. I wander in and out of every room I'm allowed into. Running my fingers over walls and railings letting my mind create stories about the people and things that happened in this place. Most the time I find newer houses that were just built to resemble old ones but every once in a while I get lucky. I also think the real estate agents in the area are staring to get slightly annoyed with me and my questions that they never have the answers too. I ask them anyway and maybe they'll tell me something that don't have memorized about the rich history of this lovely Dutch Colonial model dating back to the...you get the picture.

Besides that not much has changed since I did the movie. I'm still not really sure if I believe or if I don't.

Oh but I'm not going in the basement. And from now on, it's showers for me. Just in case.
