I'd love to hear your opinion about it.. I value every fav you give me, even if I won't be able to thank each and every one of you.. Thanks for watching my work!
I really, really like this one. it's very gruesome in nature but it has that dark beauty to it.
It actually reminds me of a story that I heard on a tour of the Myrtle's plantation; a haunted home native to the area I live in. It's actually quite famous.
The big story was about this one room that the owners of the house don't allow anyone to sleep in, [ I think mainly because all the furniture is original and it has 24 Karat gold plating on it ] and it was Oprah's production assistant or something of that nature that was staying the night there. The story was that her assistant went to stay and was sleeping and woke up to a figure hanging above the bed, grasping at a noose around her neck, her legs kicking frantically. so, the production assistant left all her shit and drove to a hotel down the road. The next morning she called and told the owners that she would never step foot on their property ever again and she was sending her assistant to turn in the keys and gather her stuff.
Now what's funny is, a voodoo priestess [ not being racist or anything, but she was black, and a slave] was working on the plantation master's youngest daughter to try and cure her ailment [ yellow fever it was rampant in that area ] and the plantation master offered that priestess her freedom if he could cure her. She worked hours on her, performing spells and told the master it was cured. So, in a fit of glee he let her sleep in that room with the gold plated furniture. He went to see his daughter and she had passed. So, in a fit of rage he went downstairs and yanked the priestess from the bed, drug her outside and strung her up from the massive oak trees.
So you see why this is relevant.
[ also, while on this tour the tour is recorded. and the tour guide said something to the effect of " of course oprah didn't stay here. had she stayed here, she would've climbed up on the bed, put a microphone in the ghost's face and said 'How can I help you?' " Me being insanely sleep deprived corrected him. I said, No sir, if Oprah would've been here she would've said " YOU'RE GETTING A CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR". Oh, if you could've seen the look on the tour guide's face. XD
