A Haunting In Connecticut

Posted on Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 8:21am.

A few years ago (okay, like, FIVE), there was a TV series called “A Haunting In” and each episode featured a different State.

First, I watched “A Haunting In Georgia” which was totally not scary. It must have had no effect on me because I don’t really remember anything from it (I think it was about a small boy and his imaginary friend, who happened to be the ghost of an old man?).

The next episode, which was called “A Haunting In Connecticut”, was on straight after “A Haunting In Georgia”.

I watched it. By the end of the episode, I was in the furthest corner of the couch. I ended up phoning my mum and begging her to come back home.
I was 17 years old and already watched some pretty scary films in my time.

A couple of years on, I was talking to Matt and he was telling me about this really scary programme on TV which he’d seen the night before. He couldn’t remember what it was called but told me some of the stuff that happened. I recognised it as “A Haunting In Connecticut” and we laughed about how scared it made us.

A few years after that, a film has recently been released. Called “A Haunting In Connecticut” and from what I’ve read, it appears to be the film version of that TV show I watched.
Either way, Myke and I are going to watch it and I can’t wait. I just hope it IS the film version of that TV show and I hope it scares me as much now as it did then!

So how was your Easter?

My Easter started off sucky but (thankfully) got better and better.

My sister asked Myke (in work on Saturday – they work at the same place) what egg he’d bought me for Easter and he told her that he hadn’t bought one yet. As soon as she got home from work, she told me this. It was a Saturday and I’ve worked in a shop before – I know that there’s almost no chance of buying an Easter egg the day before Easter.

I woke up on Easter thinking that he hadn’t bought me anything. The reason I was upset about it wasn’t to do with him not getting me an egg, it was the lack of thought; I was upset because I took it as he hadn’t thought to get me anything.

I also kept getting into arguments with everyone at home, which sucked.

Anyway, I went around his house around midday. When I got there, he said that he had a confession to make; he hadn’t bought me an egg. I just said “I know – Tay told me”.
He showed me what he bought me instead – a “Gold Bunny” by Lindt (which actually, I’d been going on and on about since I first saw them in the shops) and a bunny-shaped collection of Ferrero Rocher chocolates.
MUCH better than a bloody egg!

We spent the rest of the day watching TV and a film (Open Season – which was really good!).
When I got home, I had managed to aquire another two Easter eggs, so I ended up with a pretty good haul.
