I’ve mentioned before that Mom and I like paranormal shows.

I happened to find one on Amazon Prime called The Other Side, which is a Canadian show with largely First Nations investigators. Their whole thing is making contact and determining whether the spirits need help in passing on, or if they are comfortable and want to stay.

It’s super different and so much calmer than most paranormal shows. Also much more respectful—one dude did provocation and received a lecture on why that was wrong. It’s a gem.

Really enjoying it. First season and seasons five through eight are available, season one on Prime and the others on Freevee.

Sightings – S1E09 – King family haunting – 1992

“It’s an unlikely setting for this real-life horror story: America’s heartland, where the promise of the American dream can still be realized. Clean air and water, safe neighborhoods, a place where you can still buy a house and start your own business. All the reasons why the King family came here to raise their children, and why they want to stay – but staying means confronting an evil force that seems to have possessed the family…”

“This particular home is located in a triangle of high-tension wires...a home like this is a kind of hatchery for ghosts...because of the electromagnetic fields…”

“There seems to be something called place memories. It’s not only brains and minds that hold memories, but places also.”

“We raised the children that monsters aren’t real, and there wasn’t ghosts and boogeymen. And we raised them to be really secure in that...suddenly our belief system, what we taught our children, was turned upside down and shook, and they looked at us...that look of ‘we trusted you’.”

Fairly grim haunted house segment about a family where the mother and daughter are plagued with visions of a murder-suicide. They call in a parapsychologist but get no answers. Driven out of their home, they're sadly forced to return due to it being the only house they can afford.

Dig that description of how it's "a place where you can still buy a house". Buddy, if only you knew

I can't find anything else about this case. Peter Moscow appeared on a few more episodes of Sightings and passed away in 2011. William Roll, an expert in poltergeists, passed away in 2012. Patricia Hayes started a school of "spiritual studies" called Delphi University, whose page informs us her husband has passed on, but is still collabing with her on a new book.

It's that time of year again. Pecan praline coffee and spooky shows.

Studios are so obsessed with trying to find the next cash cow that they will kill the calf before it's weaned from its mothers milk.

in isolation I think it's fine as a writing move for sasha and melanie to misattribute people weird to them at their Spooky Jobs as being because of misogyny, that is a reasonable conclusion for those characters to make when they are unaware of the Spooky Reasons that people don't want them involved, but alas it leads to this weird thing I see sometimes where fans get boiling mad at these characters and start saying "this stupid bitch thinks she's experiencing discrimination in the workplace when akshually she's being iced out for completely logical reasons due to her lack of skills, something she might realize if she weren't so self-centered with such a massive victim complex." like guys. you don't actually need to say this.

Man, it's cool and all if you see a metaphor for marginalisation in the monstrous, and if you want the power fantasy of 'what if you could just eat anybody who threatened you/pissed you off'. Me too.

However, as soon as you start saying 'no, these monsters are a 1:1 on Specific Marginalised Group, and you have to treat them in the fiction like they are directly representative of real human members of the marginalised group', BUT you also, in the fiction, make them hurt/kill/eat humans? And then try to shame me, your audience, for noticing or engaging with the bit where they kill people, because you made them directly representative of a real-world marginalised group? You have lost me, and also, I think, the plot.

Another Orthodoxism I've noticed is that I don't really care for or vibe with like any Jewish representation in media. Like intellectually I get how and why it would work or not, I know how rep works, but Jewish rep is never Orthodox Jewish rep, and as an Orthodox Jew who experiences Judaism in a very specific way it just never hits for me. And from what I hear (I am admittedly not to well read) most Orthodox rep is a) Charedi and b) really bad.

In one notable example I related way more to the Muslim character, who had a constant and and never-commented-on-as-odd religious marker (a hijab), than the Jewish one, who has a single wedding fantasy where they break a glass.
