How To haunt Your House

Post by xtina666 » Sun Aug 08, 2010 7:23 pm

Anyone ever read this book? http://www.howtohauntyourhouse.com/

I was thinking about ordering it tomorrow. Any reviews would be great!

I have been browsing Halloween stuff all afternoon and came across some really great Halloween Blogs....I love this one.

And...how cool would this be! I wish I could find out where this is from so I could have it for my fireplace

my sister bought this book and was disappointed with it because everything in it she had already saw or read about on the net, she said everything in it in available on line for free if you're willing to do a little digging

...Die and become a ghost? That's the only way I could think of how to haunt your home. :lol:
This probably seems crazy, crazy, a graveyard theory,
A ghost tried to approach me and got leery.
Ask him a question and he vanished in a second...

HA! I had that same thought. :lol:
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

I think this is the person you might be looking for: Bruce R. Beaman

Hope you have luck or at least get some ideas. Actually, I betcha if you had the time and patience to tackle it, you might even make one for yourself :D Here's a close-up:

Of course, it wouldn't have to have the relief/texture, but you could probably make a pretty decent one, or even your own original design!

I thought the same thing, Spooky! I think that's what made me think that any of us might give it a go. I'd like to try it myself.

Well, you COULD just kill a bunch of people in your house, then it would be haunted.

But then you would end up in jail and your house would be in a police auction and not be your house anymore.
