More about the haunted season

Oct 23, 2005 18:17

I love this time of year. I love it for the changing colors of the trees and the touch of the chill in the air and the smell of the leaves all around.

I also love it because, well, I love Halloween.

And I love it because the networks all dig up their spookiest stuff to air.

Today, after spending from 8:30 AM-Noon with my workshop writing, I came home to take a nap and then spend far too much time curled up on the couch with Merlin watching the Travel Channel and their British series Most Haunted. I've always been interested in the paranormal—ghosts, psychic phenomena, that sort of thing—and this show (as well as Ghost Hunters on Sci Fi) is just my speed. So I had a little wallow this afternoon, watching investigation after investigation of haunted locations. The part of me that wants to believe really digs Most Haunted. The part of me that needs to be a skeptic prefers Ghost Hunters; their methods are more scientific, more scrupulous. But I get a kick out of it all.

I got very little done today (though the writing session was good), but I had a great time doing it.

tv, halloween
