Gibbs, Grimm and Haunted Collector

                                                              

                                                Just in time for my weekly catch up!
                                                       
                                                                        

On NCIS, A Petty Officer is insisting that he’s being followed. Is he crazy or is he part of a government funded study? Plus, someone from the Department of Defense is asking a lot of questions about Bodnar’s death. The snake in the grass had our team frazzled and mislead them into thinking he was after Ziva, but he’s really after Gibbs. Watch the show “On Demand”.

                                                                      

                                                                          

Grimm

Nick came in contact with a muse whose hobby is seducing artistically inclined men. She makes these men crazy in love with her and then encourages them into killing a rival before she moves on to the next victim. Unfortunately for Nick, the muse has captivated his mind and heart at the same time our Juliette has regained her memories of Nick and her being in love, and their living together. Will Hank, Monroe and Rosalie be able to help our star-crossed-lovers?

                                                                   

Haunter Collector

This show was spooky and I mean “big time” On the Episode titled Hollywood Haunting/Gold Rush Ghost, the spirits are extra busy scary the bejeebers out of our team. On the second part of this episode, you can see the sheets on the bed rise up and fall as the ghost climbs into bed.

See you next week and make sure to watch Defiance on Syfy. This show rocks!!!

                                                                              

 

Neighborhood Ghosts

                                                                

Last night, investigators Rita, Jean and I, went to a local park to check out the history of the mill, which is no longer there, and the reports of ghost sightings at the Crystal Lake section in Haddon Heights. Because we waited until dark to enter the park with all our equipment, we most likely frightened away some of the people taking late night strolls, plus the wildlife (not talking about the teenagers that trash the park) like raccoons, opossums and skunks.

                                                                   

 

                                          Haddon Heights and the Revolutionary War

The land was settled by John Henchman in 1699; in 1720, John Thorn Glover dammed King’s Run and constructed a Mill on the property. There are two important facts concerning the park: Betsy Ross was a customer of the mill and may have purchased the cloth used to make a flag; This Park is the site of a Revolutionary war skirmish with British General Cornwallis after the Battle of Red Bank in 1777.

                                                                       

 

                                          Looking for Ghosts in All the Right Places

                       Jean had her special night vision camera and caught these globes.

 Rita manned the flashlight so that we wouldn’t full into the creek and I took the rear with my camera. There was one section, where my stomach did a cartwheel and I knew something was close by. This shot below was taken as Jean began to ask questions and record the responses.

                                                                 

                                                                            

If you look close, you can see the faint shape of a globe. I took that picture because I had heard movement behind me and because of that nauseous feeling I always get when there is a spirit around.

                                                                       
                  

Jean then began to ask questions with her rod and that’s when we saw the mist begin to form in front of us. Look to the left of the tree. We had established that the person we were speaking to was a Hessian soldier who died at the skirmish. There are globes along with the mist.

                                                                  

 

We had a good night hunting ghosts and decided to end the night with a drink at Applebee’s; our version of a spirit chaser.

Episode Sixty-five of Lilith's Escape

 

                                                                 

 

“Slow down,” Edward yelled over the noise of the quad. The driver was zigzagging all over the place and Edward was worried about Rita. If the driver heard his protesting, he had no idea.

                                                                           

Just then a rocket flashed past them, followed by an explosion overhead. Edward looked over his shoulder to see a drone crash to the ground, but that’s all he had time to see before the quad drove down a ramp that led under the museum.

                                                                    

As soon as they reached the underground tunnel, the metal doors were slammed shut. Lilith, Bradley, Jones, Scouter, the entire caravan had made it to safety.

The driver climbed off the quad and pulled off her helmet. Edward was amazed; the woman had to be in her 70’s. “We need a medic,” the woman shouted when she realized that Rita was in trouble.

                                                                      

While the medics rushed Rita away, Edward thanked the woman and asked for her name. She shook his hand and said, “I’m Ruth, the Commander of this post, and who the hell are you?”

“After today, I’m not sure,” Edward replied with a chuckle. He immediately took a liking to the little old lady who had a very tight grip on his hand.

                                                                         

Gibbs, Grimm and Ghosts

                                                                           

                                                             

Tuesday night’s just got a lot better with NCIS the original, followed by NCIS Los Angelis and finally Grimm.

                                                                            

On NCIS, Gibbs team was investigating the death of a Mossad Agent. Tony and Ziva are in a car crash and Ziva finally finds and kills the man who murdered her father and Leon Vance’s wife.

                                                                     

NCIS Los Angelis has Callen questioning Hetty about a woman who was attacked in a parking lot. Grace Stevens is an undercover NCIS Agent who was recruited as an orphan.

                                                                        

 On Grimm, the team is called in to investigate a murder and mysterious cow mutilations. Seems there’s a very pregnant Gluhenvolk who needs raw meat to prepare for her baby’s birth. The only problem, a collector is hunting the family to sell their bodies to the highest bidder.

And let's not forget Wednesday night's with my favorite ghost hunters, John Zaffis and his Haunted Collectors Team.

                                                                     

Haunted Collector had two great stories starting with people being shoved down the stairs of Lake Norfork Inn. Several farms and cemeteries were covered over by a lake and it might be members of the Maynard family that’s doing the haunting.

The second site that was investigated was the Pythian Castle located in Springfield Missouri. John Zaffis and his team try to figure out if they’re dealing with Nazi prisoners of war that may have been kept at the castle when it was used by the army during World War two.

 

                                           This is for Dara, who loves NCIS as much as I do

                                                                               

Episode Sixty-four of Lilith's Escape

                                                                       

Heavy artillery was ringing out in front of them, but Edward’s attention was on the woman he carried in his arms as he rushed to safety. Rita was screaming something, but the explosion from the grenade that had gone off several feet behind them, made it impossible to hear anything but the ringing in his ears.

“We’re not going to make it to safety, please…put me down,” Rita was struggling to free herself from his tight hold of her.

Edward needed to catch his breath and lowered Rita to the ground, but when he realized that she was bleeding, his heart sank. “I’m not giving up and neither are you, he told her.”

                                                                          

                                                 

Instead of replying Rita pointed her gun at Edward and shot. When he realized the bullet wasn’t meant for him, he turned and saw the zombie lying on the ground. There were another twenty or more heading their way. “These bags of bones picked the wrong day to start with me,” Rita said through clenched teeth.

                                                                    

The sound of a loud engine caught their attention and when Edward spun around, gun aimed, he was surprised to see an elderly woman sitting on a four wheeled vehicle.  This was Edward's first introduction to a quad.

                                                                         

“What the hell are you waiting for? I ain’t here to take your pictures; climb on, now,” the grandmotherly rider shouted out.

                                                                        

                                           

Edward had no time to question the woman, not with the zombies within hand’s reach. He helped Rita onto the back of the bike before joining her. Edward was forced to hang on for dear life as the driver raced away.

My Favorite Game of Thrones Character: Daenerys

                                                                              

I’m hooked on the HBO series, “Game of Thrones.” I love the opening music and special effects as I watch each kingdom’s inner clockwork gears raise their towers and battlements. The show is based on the book, A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin and lucky for us we are now on season three. All the characters in the show have the usual epic background history, but the one character that really keeps me interested and coming back every week, and every season is Daenerys Targaryen.

                                                                 

                 

Little Girl Lost

Emilia Clarke does an outstanding job playing the character of Daenerys Targaryen. In season one, we watch as a young Daenerys suffers not only her brother’s cruelties towards her, but a forced marriage to Drogo a Dothraki khai. Deanery’s father, King Aerys, was killed towards the closing days of Robert’s Rebellion. Her mother, Queen Rhaelia died giving birth to her during a violent storm, earning the infant girl the nickname, Stormborn. She and her brother, Viserys were forced to live on the streets after their protector, Sir William Darry, died. This girl in season one, behaved shy and obedient to the men who claimed to have her best interests at hand. I foolishly thought that she would remain a victim, boy was I mistaken, big time!

                                                                      

Watch out for the quiet ones

Daenerys marriage to Drogo proved to be the best thing that happened to her. She comes out of her shell and stand up to her brutal, greedy brother.

                                                                               

 Her happiness grows when she learns that she is pregnant and all is well for Drogo and Daenerys, except for her brother’s impatience to wear a golden crown upon his head, which led Drogo to execute one of the best “Beware of what you wish for” scenes, ever!

                                                                          

When Drogo is injured gathering an army to fight the Seven Kingdoms, Daenerys has a witch perform a blood ceremony to save Drogo. When the ceremony not only causes Daenerys to lose her child, but leaves Drogo an invalid, she acts decisively and bravely and smothers the husband she loves with all her heart, but in doing this, there is nothing keeping the Dothraki from killing her.

                                                                     

 How does she react? Does she hide and whimper in the corner? Not this girl! She builds a giant funeral pyre to burn the body of her husband and that of the living witch. Then to everyone’s surprise she enters the center of the burning pyre with the three dragon eggs. Later, when Ser Jorah and the Dothraki see her emerge from the fire unharmed and holding three baby dragons, Daenerys proves to everyone that she is a kickass, super heroine, princess. Daenerys now has the loyalty of her people.

Keep your hands off my babies

In Season two, Daenerys steps up the game, constantly reminding Ser Jorah that she is not a child but a queen. When Daenerys and the starving Dothraki reach the city of Qarth after almost dying in the desert, they are refused entrance.

                                                                           

Daenerys threatens to have the dragons burn the city to the ground if they are not admitted. No one takes her seriously; she is nothing but a young girl with nothing but her young dragons to call her own. That is where everyone makes a mistake, what they think is weak, is stronger than steel.

                                                                                   

Daenerys is one smart cookie and even when she is held captive along with her young dragons in the House of the Undying by the warlock Pyat Pree, she keeps her calm. With one command to her dragons, the warlock is burnt to a crisp.

                                                                        

 

She and her dragons free, Daenerys now has the money to buy a small ship.

Hit them with your best shot

In season thee, the search for an army brings Daenerys and Ser Jorah to the town of Astapor. This town survives on the broken backs of slaves. She and Ser Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen meet with the master of the Unsullied. The master is cruel and obnoxious.

                                                                              

                                                                           

 The training of the Unsullied is brutal, horrid, and heartbreaking, with only one in four making it to adulthood. The Unsullied are captured as babies, castrated, and by the time they are young men, forced to obey all their master’s commands. To prove their obedience, they must kill all the babies of the female slaves.

                                                                         

When the slave girl, who is translating for the creep master, tells Daenerys about the babies, you can see the smoke rise from her ears. She is pissed off. Plus she isn’t aware that the slave master is calling her vile names. Or so we think!!

This guy is a pig and has the Unsullied stand for days without food or water and even cuts off the nipple of one of the men to prove their obedience. He needs to die!!

Big wonderful spoiler alert

Daenerys not only understands everything the creep master is saying but she has her own revenge in mind. After making a deal to trade one dragon for 8,000 Unsullied, Ser Jorah and Robert Baratheons (he saved Daenerys life and swore to protect her) give her some “man” advice. “You’re making a mistake, dumb girl. Don’t give away your dragon,” they say, or something along that line.

                                                                    

To which she replies in somewhat this manner, “Bug off. Don’t tell me what to do.”

Daenerys not only shows the slave master why you shouldn’t piss off a woman who owns dragons, but she has the Unsullied soldiers kill all the slave owners and free all the slaves and their children. With one word from Daenerys, the dragon not only toasts the slave master but also the whole town like yesterday’s burnt bacon.

                                                                   

Conclusion

This is no little girl to be bullied, or counseled by men who think they have her best interests in mind. She is a true leader and with her dragons at her side, and her 8,000 loyal soldiers marching towards the Iron Throne, nothing will stop her.
