To those who are freaked out by the empty casket:
Would you rather be looking at an occupied one? I've seen way too many of both, adn I prefer an empty one over a full one any day...
Max: That's only Bram Stoker's version. None of the other vampire mythos include the restrictions that he did (running water, no reflection, native soil). He only did that because he had written himself into a corner, and needed a way to kill his super creatures off...
Probably because it was a cheap liner. They didn't want to spend a lot of money on a funeral for someone who had no family or whose family didn't care enough to attend, so they cut corners while still being respectful. I imagine the occupants wouldn't know the difference anyway...
After I signed off, I realized it wasn't '85, as they were still Z 106 at this point. '95? I thought they had switched to cool jazz by then, but then I know of no one who listened to this station past '90 or so.
That haunted house was really fun and very spooky. Though you couldn't really see much of the building because it was so dark in there. I wonder how the radio station got permission to use the facility.
And yes, it was Eagle 106 with John Landers and Danny Bonaduce in the morning (ah the nostalgia). But the Weird USA guy from the link is wrong about the date. It was 1995, not 1985, as I was in Massachusetts during the '80's. Ironically, not far from Northampton State Hospital... the subject of another one of Mr. Motts explorations.
Thanks for the info and for further rekindling the memories everyone!
There is a guy at my dad's work named John P. He has a handle bar moostashe. I remember going to his work and thinking he was in the circus, and being dissapointed when i found out he wasent in the circus. ='(
this shot is amazing!! i would love to have the courage and ability to go into abandoned buildings. I find myself strangely drawn to them and everything that could have happened within those walls
