Looks like the Krewe of Boo has chosen a new King!
I like the Krewe of Boo, generally. Halloween's a fun holiday and any excuse for a parade, am I right? Of course, there are a lot of monsters out there that use it as a cover to commit horrible evil. Sure it's a mask. Sure that's fake blood. Of course that ghost is just an effect.
But this guy, Sidney Torres, has done good work keeping the people of New Orleans informed about dangers in the area with that app he made. I imagine it can be used just as well to warn people of monsters as it does crime. So good for you, Krewe of Boo! Thanks for picking someone who will actually help make Halloween safer!
Stay Strange!

What Did He Have to Gain?
A man with a shotgun robbed three teens sitting in an Uptown park last night. "Details" can be found here.
Does that not strike anyone else as strange? First off, you have a man with a shotgun strolling around a park in Uptown and no one is freaking out? Uptown is not a particularly sketchy place, and I know people can get pretty nosy there. And yet, no reports of the man until after he gets in and makes off with a bunch of kids' valuables. And he gets away afterward? Sounds suspicious. Like vampire mind control suspicious.
And he's robbing teens. They don't have a lot of money. I mean, sure they have spending cash and o bills, but they aren't exactly loaded. Walking around with a shotgun in a nice neighborhood, and he targets three kids? Surely there are wealthier people he could have gone after. And he takes their phones, too. Granted, three good smart phones will net you pretty good bucks, but you have to sell them and scrub them so it doesn't get tracked back to you. Seems a bit sophisticated for the sort of person who walks around nice neighborhoods with a shotgun.
No, my guess is those kids saw something and recorded it. You know teens these days. Always taking selfies and streaming videos to YouTube and stuff. Three teens gathered together, one of them had a camera on, guaranteed. He took the evidence and swiped the cash as well to make it look like a robbery.
Also, the news on this is really vague, like the cops have nothing. No good description of the guy. Didn't even name the park.
My guess is there was a vampire the teens caught feeding. Oh, sure, no one in the area thought anything about some suave guy spending a little time with a lovely young woman in a park. No cops called beforehand. The kids, though, in the same park, just so happen to record the feeding. So the vampire, not knowing really how smart phones work because he's two hundred years old or whatever, decides it's best to just take the phones and worry about finding out how to destroy what's on them later. Then he uses his vampiric mesmerism to convince the kids they didn't see a feeding, they didn't see a vampire. They just saw some normal dude with a shotgun. That's why no one else witnessed Shotgun Man coming and going.
And for those wondering why the vampire didn't just kill them too, because then he would have four bodies to carry away instead of just the one.
What are your thoughts? Post in the comments!

Probably Good News
President Obama was in town a couple weeks ago to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. I wasn't there. Didn't see it.
But he was outside this morning in the sunlight for a moment of remembrance for the 9/11 attacks fourteen years ago. So if he's out in broad daylight, at least we can rest safely know that he wasn't turned into a vampire while he was in town. So that's good.
Still doesn't prove he wasn't taken as thrall while he was here through their strange blood mind magic. There could be a modern day Renfield sitting in the Oval Office right now. Think about that.
Stay Strange!

The Carla Williams-Mannequin Killer Connection
So, police found the body of Carla Williams blasted in half in the same building my friend saw the ghost. I thought it might be the ghost of Carla, which isn't unreasonable, since that was clearly a female ghost i the picture. Except the body was clearly less old than the ghost. So whose ghost did we see there? And what drew Carla Williams to that spot? And what so savagely ripped her body in two?
What we know: Carla Williams claims to have been possessed by Devil when she hits the cop, which is totally unlike here. She flees her home, also unlike here. At that building where she was found dead, there was probably an exorcism going on there a few weeks ago, but it didn't work because the ghost stuck around, probably a result of that broken salt circle. My friend's friend was probably possessed by that ghost, because he said several days later he just sort of... woke up... in that building, starving and exhausted, and surrounded by a group of people, including two priests. He freaks out and runs away. Shortly thereafter, the body of Carla Williams is found dead there. The Mannequin Killer stops killing around this same time.
Theory: Carla Williams was possessed by a demon when she hit the cop. She went to find a priest that night she disappeared. They tried to exorcise the demon (in the warehouse my friend went to the night she went missing). The exorcism goes wrong. It banishes Carla Williams and keeps in the demon. The demon possessing Carla's Body kills people as the Mannequin Killer, changing the clothes of the victims as a way of bragging that he's stolen Carla's body. Carla's ghost possesses my friend's friend, I don't know why but probably to get her body back because she doesn't like what the demon is doing with it. She finds the priest she originally sought to perform the first exorcism and he brings back up. They lure the demon back to the building and cast it out of Carla's body, and she gets it back, but the demon, furious at having been cast out, rips Carla in half before being pulled back to Hell.
That's my theory, and if right, that priest, whoever he is, needs to practice up on his exorcism skills because he did it wrong the first time and did it too slowly to save Carla the second time. That or the demon was really powerful and simply had a better grip on Carla's body than Carla's own spirit, and a better grip on earth too, giving it time enough to kill her before being cast out. Who knows? Maybe her being ripped in half was even part of casting the demon out because its hold on her was so strong that the act of exorcising it did it.
What are your thoughts? Does it work for you? It makes sense to me, but maybe you have evidence to support it or maybe you see some holes in the theory. Maybe you have a theory of your own. Let me know in the comments.

Strange Post - Hacked?
Hey Strangers,
Have you seen the weird post with the dinosaur on it? I woke up this morning and saw someone had added it to the blog. I have no idea where it came from. Is this one of the downsides to using a free blog page? I can't remember if I signed up to allow ads on the site, but maybe I did. Is this an ad? If it is, it's a strange one selling who knows what. Or was I hacked because they don't do security as well as I did on my blog?
I'm leaving it up, because it's a cool little mystery. I'm intrigued to hear what you guys make of it. The font looks familiar, but I can't quite place it off the top of my head, though. Anyone recognize it?
Stay Strange!
-Steve
Update: Apparently, this post has shown up in an identical form on all sorts of paranormal blogs across the net over the last couple of days. Should I feel flattered that they think I'm a legitimate paranormal blogger with lots of reach, or should I be insulted, because maybe they think I'm just like all the other paranormal bloggers on the net, most of whom wouldn't know a vampire if it bit them.

The Great Migration
Hey Strangers!
I've secured this new blog location, so make sure you update your bookmarks and news feeds! Unlike the old place, this blog's free, which means I can devote more time and money to keep it going instead of having to pull extra shifts to pay for the site hosting and spending the extra time doing all the website coding myself.
I'm in the process of slowly migrating all of the old posts over as well. I'd like to maintain all of your thoughts and theories, but I can't do comments properly here. I may end up just copying and pasting all of the old comments from over there onto the ends of posts if I can't figure out something better.
Meanwhile, any of you Strangers see anything strange out there while I've been locked up in my room securing this new webspace for those of us who see the truth? The new megaport they're looking to build. A boon to the economy, or one more vampire scheme to smuggle in more of their kind from South America? And with all this talk about the Katrina decade-versary, anyone remember the chaos, the darkness, and anything lurking in it (other than looters)? There were a lot of monsters, human and otherwise, who took advantage of the situation. And what concerns do you have about Hurricane Fred? I know it's still too early to tell anything, but what preparations do you have for when the power and water cut out or for when the vampires are out in force, lurking in the shadows? Have you stored up extra salt for ghosts? And the Saints. Did you see that pitiful loss against the Texans? I know it's preseason, but I'm thinking it's a curse or something. Either some angry Colts fan still bitter against their Super Bowl win in 2009 or maybe some magic bookie trying to rig the numbers in his favor? I'm dying here. What's going on out there?
Stay Strange!
