    SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2016 SECTION T ON ON3 MARKET VALUE Start the holiday festivities with a tour of some of Germany’s best Christmas markets, T6 TRAVEL Ghost hunting in New York State The Rolling Hills Asylum in rural East Bethany is straight out of central casting. AMITY PHOTO JENNIFER BAIN TRAVEL EDITOR ACROSS NEW YORK STATE—Casper Cop chucks coins across the darkened Treasureland arcade at the Sylvan Beach Amusement Park and lets them ricochet on the ancient wooden floor. “It’s James. I’ve got a friend here who’d like to meet you. I’ve got recorders going. You gonna do something for us? We’d really love to meet you.” Casper Cop is private investigator James Pendell by profession and ghost hunter by passion. He has a seasonal gig leading the Park After Dark Ghost Tours. “I’ve got a penny,” Pendell says cajolingly to the darkness. “Will you throw it back to me? Where’s my little girl?” A prankster spirit child sometimes tosses the coins back or jingles them. She’s one of the many ghosts said to roam this paranormal paradise in a vintage amusement park. Pendell’s tours start just as the park is closing and contin- ue when he has the place to himself for several spooky hours, making for a “high freakout factor.” He has earned one of 65 spots on the Haunted History Trail of New York State, which launched three years ago and keeps adding places such as creepy inns, parks, thea- tres, museums, restaurants and cemeteries, offering ghost stories, tours and hunts.

I would also like to thank his demon kitten for providing the proper haunted atmosphere at my defense. • I thank Dr. Neill Matheson for the ghostly inspiration of his Gothic Literature class and for helping me return to the program. • I thank Dr. Tim Richardson for using his class to teach us how to write a conference proposal and deliver a conference paper – knowledge I have put to good use! • I thank my high school senior English teacher, Dr. Nancy Myers. It’s probably an urban legend of my own creating that you told us “when you have a Ph.D. in English you can talk to me,” but it has been a lifetime motivating force. • I thank Dr. Susan Hekman, who told me my talent was being able to use pop culture to explain philosophy. It continues to be my superpower. • I thank Rebecca Stone Gordon for the many motivating and inspiring conversations and collaborations. • I thank Tiffany A.

Carlin Follow this and additional works at: https://thekeep.eiu.edu/honors_theses Part of the Television Commons A Haunted Genre: A Study of Ghost Hunting Reality Television (TITLE) BY Abigail L. Carlin UNDERGRADUATE THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, ALONG WITH THE HONORS COLLEGE, EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY CHARLESTON, ILLINOIS 2018 YEAR I HEREBY RECOMMEND THIS UNDERGRADUATE THESIS BE ACCEPTED AS FULFILLING THE THESIS REQUIREMENT FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DATE 'fHESISADVISOR DATE H6NORS COORDINATOR Carlin 2 Introduction to Thesis In a recent interview on CONAN, the Chicago comedian Kyle Kinane shared his opinion regarding the relationship between white privilege and the existence of ghosts. Kinane joked that he thinks "the only people who believe in poltergeists are people who don't have any real-world problems," and following that statement, he states that believing in ghosts and engaging in paranormal culture is stereotypically "white" (0:39-1:20). The parallel drawn between daily life andthe topic of race is referredto as privilege, and Kinane insinuates that white privilege leaves an individual with a significant amount of free time and resources to engage in seemingly illogical beliefs, such as ghosts; however, ghost hunting reality television lends itself to more thanboredom, as it is a new and exciting genre specific to the 21st century. In this thesis, ghost hunting reality television is explored and recognized as a cultural artifact. Born from the combination of secular methodology, religion, and technology, an unlikely and obscure genre explodes from obscurity to popular culture to such a degree that tier one celebrities, such as Post Malone, guest star on longstanding ghost hunting reality show Ghost Adventures (2008-present).

    THE SATURDAY NIGHT GHOST CLUB by Steve Desmond & Michael Sherman Based on the Novel by Craig Davidson August 13, 2020 APA Management 360 310-888-4200 310-272-7000 FADE IN: EXT. CEMETERY -- NIGHT A crescent moon looms over the small town graveyard, casting sharp shadows on the weathered tombstones. It's eerily quiet as we slowly creep through, save the rustle of fallen leaves in the breeze. ADULT JAKE (V.O.) Most people are unsettled by the dark and mysterious. They walk faster past graveyards. They shy away from unnerving topics like death. And they dare not ask questions about that which cannot be easily explained. (beat) But not my Uncle Calvin... CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE-UPS of a bike in motion. QUIRKY TRINKETS decorating its frame. All-seeing eyes. Cthulhu beads. An alien head sticker that reads, "Believe." ADULT JAKE (V.O.) Some say he was an expert in legend and lore, an encyclopedia of ghosts and the most unseemly monsters that lurk in the night... Others say he was just crazy. I'll let you decide. EXT. JAKE'S HOUSE -- NIGHT The BIKE SKIDS TO A STOP outside of a suburban home. As the rider climbs off, we move up... Past acid washed jeans, a gaudy tie-dye shirt, and long frizzy hair... Until we reveal a man who looks like a Grateful Dead roadie on a perpetual tour of the supernatural, with a face that screams wide-eyed believer. This is UNCLE CALVIN (late 30s). He glances towards the upstairs window, where YOUNG JAKE (5) looks down, waiting for him.

  • Voices 1 the Ghost Hunters No One Saw the Girl Die. It Was Just a Little Too Early, a Morning Still Too Dark, First Light Barel
    Voices 1 The Ghost Hunters No one saw the girl die. It was just a little too early, a morning still too dark, first light barely warming the edge of the sky. The night frost yet shimmered on the ground, faint ghostly silver. It was barely 6 a.m. on a late October morning. Sixteen-year-old Bertha Huse was out for a walk before her day’s work at the mill. Her parents and her sister were still asleep in the small house they shared in Enfield, New Hampshire. Later, a few of the town people, those like the blacksmith’s wife who were up doing morning chores, recalled seeing the girl go by. Bertha was walking a little slowly, tying her bonnet as she went. She left footprints in the frosty dirt road. The marks led toward an old wooden bridge, made of rough timbers and without railings, which spanned Mascoma Lake. The lake looked untouched. It always did. The water beneath the bridge was 18 feet deep. Darkened by the thick local soil, it shone like a black mirror, reflecting all light away. When their child didn’t come home, her parents were at first puzzled. Then a little worried. And slowly, as the sky lightened and the morning filled, they became frantic. They were out calling for her, hunting along the empty road and the shores of the silent lake. As it became obvious, that something was really wrong, their friends and neighbors joined in. By day’s end, some 150 people had joined in, calling ever louder, rattling through empty thickets and fields.
