Vanessa Hudgens teased by playful ghost

March 24, 2011 by Andrew Leave a Comment

The 3D movie Journey to the Center of the Earth was a $100 million success. I don’t mind admitting that I rather enjoyed it.

When there’s a $100 million hit movie there’s a sequel. The second film is “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island“. The cast is a little different. Josh Hutcherson stays on to play Sean Anderson but there’s no Brendan Fraser as Travor Anderson. The new cast includes Michael Caine, Luis Guzman, Kristin Davis and the action star will be Dwayne Johnson. Vanessa Hudgens has the role as the lead starlet.

Filming is going on North Carolina. It seems Vanessa Hudgen’s over night stays has involved some rather cheeky entertainment from a local ghost.

This is what she told local press;

I kept on hearing a creak in my hallway and I was, like, ‘I have to figure out what this sound is…’

“I walk over and I hear a creak to my right and I thought it was, like, rainfall or a leak, so I step over to the right… and I look down and I hear it to the left, so I step over to the left, look up, look down, step over to the right, look up, look down… It kept moving around.

“Finally, I was like, ‘You know what ghost, thanks for having me here. You do your thing; I’m gonna go.’ I was so terrified.”

Are you a Vanessa Hudgens fan? Looking forward to the movie?

What do you make of Vanessa’s spooky encounter? Something for the journalists, did she manage to spook herself or do you think actually had an encounter?

Ghosts at the Toxteth Gaumont Cinema

November 9, 2009 by Andrew 1 Comment

The Gaumont Cinema by Toxteth – more commonly known as Dingle’s Gaumont Cinema – is situated in a very interesting spot.

It has been observed that the haunted theatre’s position on a map of Liverpool forms a triangle if plotted alongside the nearby Turner Memorial Home and the impressive Ancient Chapel of Toxteth.

Toxteth Gaumont Cinema

The odd shape of the cinema is simply due to the curve of the roads the building stands beside. It was built in 1937 to house Britain’s first Gaumont projectomatic system. This is a cinema system that automatically changed film reels and controlled the lights. The issue of light control is interesting as some of the reported hauntings in the old building have featured the lights.

The art deco building was built to replace the Dingle Picturedrome. After the Gaumont theatre was decommissioned it was turned into a bingo hall.

Hauntings at Toxteth Gaumont Cinema

There have been a number of ghost sightings at the cinema; ranging from strange lights to shadowy figures.

It is rumoured that a bingo player lost her life while playing the game – her heart giving out to the drama. One of the popular stories suggests that she still lingers on in the hall trying to claim her winners. Another local story speaks of suicide; a man who killed himself behind the cinema screen.

The Turner Nursing Home was created by Anne Turner, wife of Charles Turner (the first Chairman of Liverpool Docks which may also be haunted) and mother of Charles William Turner. Anne outlived them both. The home opened in 1885 and featured work from Sir William Hamo Thorneycroft and the architect Alfred Whitehouse.

The red ashlar home has a large chapel that features octagonal columns and stained glass. Some whisper that the souls of some of the less than sane former inhabitants at Turner may linger still; especially near the chapel.

The Ancient Chapel of Toxteth dates back to around 1604 – nearly three hundred before the Chapel at the Turner – and was originally built by Puritan dissenters from the Church of England but is now owned and used by the Unitarians.

The land which the Ancient Chapel and its graveyard is built one was sold to the Puritan families by the Earl of Derby. The inside of the chapel is dark even in summer.
