While I bare sharp fangs

I don’t know if you guys watch any of those reality based ghost shows or not, but my favorite of the bunch is “Ghost Adventures.”
Is it real? Is it fake? Who really knows.
Personally, I do think they occasionally catch something, but not nearly as much as they claim. Sometimes, just a little too much happens, but it is entertaining to watch. During their first season (the earlier episodes seem to be more legit) they supposedly caught something big on camera. To me, it looks pretty authentic, hard to fake, but again it is a reality based show about ghosts. Here’s the video. You guys let me know, real or fake?

The first use of the word “vampire” in English wasn’t until 1734, when it was mentioned in a book called Travels of Three English Gentlemen. Although the idea of the “undead” returning to attack the living is ancient and occurs in many cultures, the bloodsucking vampire we recognise today arose in south-eastern Europe in the 17th century. Versions of the word “vampire” exist in all the Slavic languages and some linguists have traced it back to ubyr, the Tatar word for “witch”. via QI: Quite interesting facts about vampires – Telegrap

Haiku – Disembodied
In an empty house
Booming dark voice calls to me
An echoing sound
+
My 2-year-old son inspired this one. For some reason echos shake him up. He will come out of a room and say something like “echo hear,” and of course the writer in me sparks up. How can I turn this into something scary? This Haiku came to mind. Happy early Halloween!
One of my favorite scary movies! I thought I would post another scene from “The Changeling.”
