Ghostly Voices Caught on Tape While Exploring an Abandoned Mine!
I believe in ghosts mainly because energy never dies, but it’s hard to get behind internet videos that claim to catch real ghosts or EVPs or aliens because of how simple it is to sham your audience. In fact, one of the biggest UFO viral videos was created by one of my friends as a goof to show how simple it was to trick the online world.
So, here’s this video that’s starting to go ’round, and there’s one thing I like about it, and another that annoys me to no end. Click forward to the 12-minute mark and open your ears to listen to ghostly whispers of spooks, one of which possibly says “Get out!” Skepticism takes over until you look through the user’s profile, which is basically videos of him taking viewers through abandoned mines using flashlights. He’s never claimed to have heard or seen anything before (unless I missed it), so it adds to the authenticity of this video.
But in reading the comments he’s also plugging the flashlight used in the video, offering 20% off orders that presumably was set up with the flashlight company. This is the first time recently I’ve seen such an offer, and just a bit ago he had a video go viral, hitting 1 million views, that shares the following statement: “As with all my videos, everything you see, hear, and read in this video is for entertainment value only and should not be taken literally.”
So, it’s really hard to know if the below video is authentic or not without it being verified by an unbiased source. Either way it’s sort of a fun adventure that will give you chills if you believe it’s the real deal. What do you think?
Sam Neill, the New Zealand actor best known for his role in 1993’s Jurassic Park, has passed away this week at 78 years old. In a statement shared on Neill’s Instagram page this morning, the actor’s family said that his passing was “sudden and unexpected.”
Neill had been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer in 2022, but stated the following year that he was in remission. The family notes that he “remained cancer free” at the time of his passing.
The family statement reads, “It is with immense sadness that the whānau of Sam Neill share the news of his passing on Monday 13th July, in Sydney Australia. Sam was surrounded by family and passed with the dignity that has characterised his whole life. The loss was sudden and unexpected but blessed by the fact that Sam remained cancer free.
“They would like to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at St Vincent’s Private Hospital for their incredible care. More details will be shared later, but for now, on behalf of the family, we ask that you respect their privacy as they navigate this immeasurable loss.”
In addition to his iconic role as Dr. Alan Grant in the original Jurassic Park and the sequels Jurassic Park III and Jurassic World: Dominion, Sam Neill left an indelible mark on the horror genre with memorable roles in Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession, The Omen: The Final Conflict, John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness, and sci-fi horror favorite Event Horizon.
Sam Neill’s vast resume in film and television began in the early 1970s and also includes the films Sleeping Dogs, Enigma, The Good Wife, A Cry in the Dark, Dead Calm, The Hunt for Red October, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Hostage, The Jungle Book, Snow White: A Tale of Terror, The Horse Whisperer, Bicentennial Man, Daybreakers, Escape Plan, and Thor: Ragnarok.
Sam Neill is survived by his four children and eight grandchildren.
Steven Spielberg said in a statement to Variety, “I owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Donaldson, Gilliam Armstrong, Graham Baker and Phillip Noyce for casting Sam Neill in the roles in which he was so brilliant that brought him to my attention and led to his playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Sam was exceptionally collaborative. It was a stretch for him to play a character who acted as though children were messy and smelly because this was the opposite of the loving father he was to his children. I adored making all the Jurassic movies with him.”
Spielberg adds, “Along with Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, we will always have our Jurassic family and Sam will never be forgotten by us or his many millions of fans around the world.”
