Horror Report: Because it's a scary world: 2015-05-03

The Fourth was with you yesterday. But today is Cinco de Roswell …

Roswell Slides day..
The day that UFO watchers have been waiting for .. ‘evidence,’ some would say, of UFOs stuffed away on old photographs in an attic..

THERE IS LIVE VIDEO HERE..(at least as long as the event is live)

There is a ‘megathread’ on REDDIT..

Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis is current talking about it on his show (at the time this post is written, 11pm on May 5 ‘15)

Tonight, George Noory with Coast to Coast AM is going to have a panel of guests to speak about the slides as well..

And a backstory for those not aware of the ROSWELL SLIDES or the story behind them.. THIS from Anthony Bragalia’s blog a Different Perspective on where these ‘slides’ have come from..

Roswell is where it all began. At least the modern UFO hunt..
And now the Roswell Slides are going to spice things up a bit in the UFO field–more than that not at all credible 1990s alien autopsy fraud.

But are these new slides frauds, too?
Just another tall tale in the alien world?

As always, trust your intelligence and use your discernment appropriately …

A creepypasta I'm excited about

A long hot summer coming

US Summer Forecast: Northeast to Endure More 90-Degree Days Than in 2014; Extreme Drought to Expand in West »

The ACCUWEATHER summer forecast:

Warmth from central Canada and the northern Plains will flow into the Northeast this summer, leading to above-normal temperatures and drier conditions for much of the region.

“I’m not expecting extreme heat, but periods of warmer-than-normal temperatures will come and go during the course of the summer,” AccuWeather.com Expert Long-Range Forecaster Paul Pastelok said.
After a cooler-than-normal summer of 2014, the East overall is forecast to be hit by more 90-plus degree days this summer.

In Philadelphia and New York City, there may be as many as 10 more than last summer.

For much of the summer, the central and southern mid-Atlantic will come alive with showers and thunderstorms.

Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia will be in the line of fire.

Now come the locusts..

What plague will be next!?

There is a fascinating story making the rounds online.. Originally reported in the Courier Mail in the UK, PLAGUES of locusts have been devouring their way through the state’s central west compounding the hardships suffered by drought-affected farmers.

Get this..Matthew Killoran writes,

More than 150 swarms have been reported to Biosecurity Queensland so far this year, with some reported to be more than 40ha in size and thick enough to “black out the sky”.

While their activity has been dying down as winter approaches, there are fears eggs are lying dormant waiting to return in favourable weather conditions.

There were only 15 swarms reported throughout the state from 2011 and 2013.

But before you get ready for a Christian style rapture, keep in mind that this pest is somewhat normal and there are stories from history of it happening.

And while that’s fine and dandy, just picture a wall of locusts flying at you..

Maybe it’s time to consider harvesting them.
I hear they can be tasty morsels of crunchy flavor.

Justin Timberlake as you really don't want to see him

And it’s really, really creepy.

I can certainly see this being a villain in horror movies.

The Dry Age

Catastrophic California drought is having another scary side effect: Rodents are climbing trees and taking water from bird baths Learn more: »

Everything needs water to survive..
And rodents know survival at the fittest.

One creepy tale:

Tina O'Keefe of Dirty Rats Rodent Removal told NBC, “There’s no water source for them right now so they’re going outside to get it. They eat plants. They eat meat. They’re going to the dog park because there are water bowls. They’re going to horse stables because there’s water.”

Heron Head Park, which is situated just south of San Francisco, is one example where rats are coming out and taking water from dogs.
“This has not happened before,” Renee Dunn Martin of the Port of San Francisco told the San Francisco Chronicle.

“It’s an open space, and a natural habitat for a lot of creatures, but regarding the rats, we are definitely on top of that issue and doing our best to address it,” Dunn Martin emphasized.

It’s been said that even after nuclear strikes, cockroaches will crawl like nothing occurred..

But rodents without water? That is a scary premise for their species.

As much as it is ours..
Scary times we live in.. Dry as well.

Lake Mead is considered “operationally full” when the water level is at 1,229 feet elevation above sea level. On May 2, the water level was down to 1,078.9 feet above sea level, the lowest since it was being filled in May 1937. It’s down 15 feet from the same day a year ago »

THE NEW NIGHTMARE

Expect to hear lots about this movie soon.. THE NIGHTMARE is a documentary that follows the stories of several people who are afflicted from sleep paralysis.. and along with that curse, they all seem to see the same things: Hat man, shadow people, the same voices talking..

There may be tricks in the brain being played..
There may be alternate dimensions opening up..

Rodney Ascher (from ROOM 237) doesn’t really seem to care about the scientific reasonings to explain away the stories, instead he focuses on the stories themselves and the people who suffer from the visions.. And how it changes lives..

Bloody-Disgusting reviewed this recently and gave it a rave rating--people seem genuinely frightened by the topic.

There are real stories from real people of these events taking place.
The mighty strange aspect of it all seems to be persistent and also relative to the fact that all of the people suffering from this see the same thing. The same shadows.. Hear the same voices. Exact..
That may be the precise reason this documentary is being so widely accepted not only by documentary fans but also the horror community. People are eating up 'reality' anymore.. not just slashers and ghouls of nightmares. But the real shadows of reality.
