It was one network with over a thousand miles of track and more than 3,000 cars operated by a number of companies.

Chicago's 18th Century Sausage King Killer, Halloween Display

I was out hiking in my hometown of Forest Park Il. looking for something to tickle my eye. It's October so there's all kinds of Halloween decorations.

Scary Halloween Figure Spotted In Forest Park Il.
Переглядів 932 роки тому
Here's one of the scariest Halloween displays in Forest Park Il.. At first, the tall black-robed figure seemed merely imposing but when the giant started talking it gave me a bit of a jump. While the creature's voice is his own we added some audio enhancements. The chilling warning that starts out the clip is from a 1980's Halloween door knocker. Then the background sound is from freesound.org ...
Lightbow

I was lying flat on the couch watching British Sci Fi Classic "Devil Girl From Mars" when I noticed this cool reflection on my ceiling.

    This was a good video in many ways. However, the first FBI agent Nelson murdered wasn’t Special Agent Newman, because it was W. Carter Baum. Also, I knew one of the owners who lived in his Chicago home, he said, “I have seen two 2 extremely dark shadow people many times.” He eventually sold the home. Thank you for the video.
