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!!!

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

Being Human and Haunted Collector Recaps


                                                                        

I love the Syfy station and two of my favorite shows are Being Human and Haunted Collector. Being Human just ended season three with three cliffhangers, so we’ll start with them first, but I promise to make this quick and painless. Ready, set. Go!
                                                                         
Sally the ghost is alive and back inside her own body after Josh and Nora go to visit Donna the Witch. Good news, right? Wrong, with Donna the witch, it’s the hidden information on the contract that will come back to haunt Sally.
                                                                      
Sally and her two ghost buddies are having a blast with their second chance at life. There’s one little problem, if someone from your past sees you, they die and Donna gets to eat their soul. To save her brother’s life, Sally promises her soul to Donna.
                                                                                

Soon, Sally and her friends begin to rot, yep just like zombies. To keep from rotting, they must eat fresh kill, be it human or rodent. Donna gets the souls of Sally’s ghost friends, but Sally, with the help of Aidan and Josh, escapes...or so she thinks. Sally dies again and Donna is not out of the picture.
                                                                               

 
Josh killed his maker and is no longer a werewolf, but in a battle to save Aidan’s life, Liam bites Josh. If that wasn’t enough, vampires are drinking the blood of werewolves to survive the deathly results of tainted human blood.
                                                                             


Why is human blood tainted? It has to do with the flu, but werewolf blood is the cure. Liam won’t leave Nora and Josh alone, even bothering them on their honeymoon. Yes, lovely wedding and Sally, back to being a ghost, was a bridesmaid.
                                                                                    
                                        


After Liam is dead, Nora and Josh go back to celebrating their honeymoon and Josh’s first werewolf change…but he’s not a nice one; has Liam bloodline now. Are you dizzy yet, no?
                                                                      

Last one. Aidan and all the other vampires are dying from the lack of untainted blood. Aidan is caring for Kenny, a bubble boy (no, not someone from Fox News) who is unable to live outside of a sterile tent. The teen is sick of living in a sterilized world and begs Aidan to change him. Aidan changes Kenny and gives him blood enhanced with werewolf blood. What Aidan didn’t know is the werewolf blood does more harm than good. After promising Josh that he will kill Kenny because Kenny tried to drink Nora dry, Aidan instead lets the boy live. Aidan comes home, only to see someone who looks exactly like his wife Suzanna, from the Revolutionary war, step out of a taxi. 
                                                                                       
                                                                                           

Is this the real Suzanna, or a descendant ? Okay, I told you it would be quick,  but I left a lot out, so if you want the slow version, watch the show on demand.
                                                                            

Okay now on to the last episode of Haunted Collector, where John Zaffis and his team arrive at the historic Emmett House in Waverly Ohio.
                                                                         

The new owner Ashley Anthony has been frightened by paranormal activity ever since she began restoring the Inn.  It started when the owners found a boot, pouch holding a white powder and a tattered infant’s dress. John sends the powder out to be identified and they learn that the powder is a French salt used in the past to fight infections.
                                                                               

John and his team set up their equipment and see a small hurricane of smoke over the floorboards of one of the rooms. When they investigate they find a lace handmaid’s veil wrapped around a small box holding patches. The patches were used by victims of small pox to cover the scars.
                                                                                

The original owner of the house John Emmett, Ohio’s first millionaire, lost two young children to the disease. John Zaffis take all the items and brings them back to his museum and the new owners have no further problems with unwanted guests.

The second part of the story takes place in Brighton Michigan and Corey Moore is the person who calls in the team. There have been several deaths in the family and Corey moved in with his mother Pam to help her. One night he took a stroll through the town cemetery and found a strange coin. 
                                                                            

The problems began when he brought the coin home. Pam is the target of whatever spirit has been introduced into the home. The spirit is attacking Pam and leaving scratches and bruises on her arm. 
                                                                                 

John and his team set up the cameras and……this is scary……especially since I’ve had encounters with this type of haunting….but on the camera, you the viewer see the dark shadow appear out of nowhere and slide over the sleeping Pam. In her sleep, she rolls over to her side to get away.
                                                                          
 John Zaffis does his research and learns that the coin is the culprit. It belonged to a traveling circus and there was a horrible accident in 1903 when two of the circus trains crashed right there in Brighton, killing 26 people who were then buried in the local cemetery. John takes the coin to his museum and the attacks on Pam stop. Go on demand and watch this episode.

Conclusion

Most hauntings occur when an object that is haunted is brought into your house. John Zaffis has to do a special binding ceremony to keep the objects in his museum from attacking any visitors that enter his museum. Just recently, a friend of mine purchased some antique funeral home objects and is now is experiencing ghostly visits. I’ll be checking this out and maybe…I’ll write about it.

Haunted Collector


                                                                             

Season Three of one of my favorite shows returned to the Sy-fy channel on March 6th. Haunted Collector which airs on Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. follows a team of paranormal investigators who are asked to do research on buildings (public or private) that have a high level of spiritual activity. The team is led by John Zaffis, a world renowned demonologist and paranormal researcher. Objects that are collected during his investigation are stored in his museum, but only after the items have gone through a binding ritual done by a member of the clergy. His work is documented in his book, Shadows of the Dark.
                                                                    
Team Zaffis includes two of his children Aimee and Chris Zaffis along with Jason Gates and Jesslyn Brown (investigators), and Brian Cano,( a tech specialist and second in command). When Brian is not working on Haunted Collector, he produces an independent paranormal series called “Scared”.

Why are objects haunted?

Maybe a particular object was cherished by a person while they were alive and the object’s appeal still draws that person’s spirit to it. Some objects were used in ceremonial rituals and they carry the essence either good or evil of the practiced ritual. When I visited the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, there was one particular room that reeked of paranormal activity and my two ghost hunting friends also felt the vibes when we entered that hall.

What do you do with a haunted object?
Don’t destroy it. You might cause worse problems, like a pissed off spirit. The smart thing is to contact a paranormal investigative group to handle this situation. The object needs to go through a binding ceremony by a member of the clergy.
                                                                                                
If you want to find out more about the subject of hauntings, be they spirits or objects, then you need to watch Haunted Collectors on Wednesday night.
                                                                       
Oh, and by the way, now that the warmer weather is just around the corner, there will be plenty of flea markets and yard sales popping up all over the place. Have fun shopping, but if weird things start happening in your house after purchasing that antique piece of jewelry, then my little ghost snack, you are now officially haunted.
