Haunted
Digital Magazine Issue 6 Review
Haunted Digital Magazine is back for another great
issue. This magazine is a must have for all fans of the paranormal with a great
mix of articles that keeps you interested from cover to cover. One section that
is always one of my favourites in HDM is ‘Noose of the World’ which gives you
numerous paranormal incidents from around the world. One of the stories that
fascinated me from this section was that of the Overtoun Bridge in Dumbarton,
Scotland. Many dogs have jumped to their death from this bridge. In 1994 a man
threw his baby son off the bridge. It is believed that this bridge is a barrier
between the world of the living and the world of the dead. This is just one of
the stories in this section that will make the hair stand on the back of your
neck.
Charles W. Bryant takes a look at
five haunted hotels and the tale that most intrigued me here was the story of ‘Murder
Castle’. This was a hotel built by Dr H.H. Holmes. Holmes was a cheat and a fraud
and this hotel he designed had some really unusual features which included doors
that led to nothing, rooms without windows, trap doors and hidden passageways. Guests
were tortured and murdered in this hotel. Holmes who claimed to be possessed by
the devil was eventually caught through insurance fraud and is known as one of
America’s first serial killers. The hotel was burned to the ground and became a
post office.
The popular section ‘Ask Yvette’
sees Yvette Fielding of the TV show Most Haunted answer some of the reader’s
questions. Yvette tells us about her husband Karl’s hard work to bring Most
Haunted back to our screens and talks about which celebrities were the most fun
to work with on the show. Simon Healy talks about the social media pages he has
set up for the fans of MH and tells us about some of the negativity and
bullying that can go on which has led to him blocking some people from the
page. Unfortunately this is one of the downfalls of social media, you can meet
so many supportive people but then this leaves you open to those who like to
ridicule also.
‘The Rules of Fright Club’ is such
an interesting section as it tells you various facts about ghosts. One of these
fascinating facts was that the reason spirits can be available in photographs
is because cameras detect a broader spectrum of energy than the human eye. This
section is great for aspiring ghost hunters. Fans of Terry Pratchett will be
delighted to see an exclusive interview with the fantasy author. He talks about
his novels, astronomy, but does he believe in ghosts?? Harry Houdini is one of
the most famous escape artists in the world and Philip Solomen discusses the possibility
that Houdini was in fact a medium/psychic. This was a great article where I
learned some facts I did not know about the great Houdini.
Von Callaghan tells us everything
we need to know about the great Kilmainham Gaol one of Irelands most infamous
paranormal hot spots! The recent Batman movie ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ featured the
spooky Wollathan Hall, Nottingham and Lee Roberts takes a look at the story
behind the haunting of Wollathan Hall, the grey figure that is seen staring
from the windows and what happened the crew during the making of the Batman
movie. A great read!! Demonologist Fred Batt takes a look at The Black Mass
which is a magical ceremony mocking God and worshipping the devil that was said
to involve human sacrifice. This is a dark tale I really enjoyed reading.
In the last issue of HDM Fred
Batt gave an introduction to the Wiccan Religion and in this edition he
provides us with a list of the tools one would need to practice witchcraft.
Fred also tells us about a night he spent in Castle Houska in Prague for a live
MH show and you will not believe what happened to him? Each issue will feature
one of Fred’s amazing experiences that you do not want to miss.
Other great articles include ‘The
Slender Man’ and a great article on The Tower of London. Karl Beattie is set to
ruffle some feathers in this issue as he discusses the ego’s that exist within
the paranormal community, the fakes who are out there claiming to have psychic
abilities and the abuse which exists within paranormal groups on social
networks. It is so true what Karl says….people with an interest in the
paranormal should be working together not against each other in egotistical
wars of words on these sites. The magazine also takes a look at the Halloween
capital of the world….the town of Anoka, Minnesota.
Earlier this year on my blog I
wrote an article on ‘Cursed Movies’ an area that fascinates me so I was
delighted to see an article on the allegedly cursed movie ‘The Omen’, you will
be shocked at some of these stories. There is so much content in this magazine.
From cover to cover it is jam packed with articles that will entertain you and
some that will shock you. I would love to see this magazine in print form again
as it would fly off the shelves. At just 2.99 this is a bargain!!!!!!!!
