| Barnabus is overcome by "the passion." |
Friday night was ghost hunting night for the WSF gang. Oh, what will those loveable scamps come up with next?
Paranormus is Todd Sheene's brain child. A (sort of) reality show about two less-than-macho ghost hunters who would rather be doing almost anything else and their friend Barnabus Morningstar, the eccentric, self-proclaimed medium.
The night lived up to its billing to say the least and there are plenty of stories to tell, so let's get to it...
First things first: Much thanks to Jim, Jeff, Trish, Heather, Jessica and all the folks of KY Paranormal who made Friday night happen. I'm stunned that so many people were willing to give up their Friday night to help us out. They were great. Also, thanks to Aram Martin and Kolton Winfield who are full-fledged members of the Walk Softly team. Once again, we literally couldn't do it without them. So, thanks for helping out the old guys. (Oh, but don't think you're off the hook yet, either.)
As the sun began to set, we headed to Harrodsburg, KY and the offices of the Harrodsburg Herald; locally famous for its level of paranormal activity. Paranormal KY set up all their legitimate investigating gear and we got down to business. These guys take their investigations seriously and truly try to help people out. They have just about every piece of gear you can think of.
True to form, we made a long night of it. We talked to spirits, ran around screaming, caused a nuisance, and thoroughly confused the late-night dwellers of Harrodsburg all while the Paranormal KY crew tried to do some real investigating.
We shot until we ran out of digital space somewhere around 1 o'clock in the morning and Allen and Todd's allergies hit full tilt. This tweet from the next morning might give you some insight on how everyone feels about our shoots...
Nothin like spending your Saturday with a killer Walk Softly Films hangover @WalkSoftlyFilms #indie #indiefilm

Yeah, that just about sums it up. That's how we do. I hope everybody else loves it as much as I do.
Now for what you really want to know: did any of us get scratched, felt up, or possessed? Well not so much, I think we were too busy for the spirits. BUT, as we packed up to head home, Jeff Sanford grabbed us and asked if we wanted to see some video of a phenomenon they'd caught earlier in the night. Check it our for yourself, but let me say, this little clip wasn't nearly the most interesting section. At one point, it looked like there was a full-on blizzard of unidentified particles flying in from the right side of the screen, then they would stop on a dime. It was crazy.
We can't wait to show you this and all the other productions we've been working on. (I'm hoping we can finish this one up in time for an entry to the Rivers Edge Film Fest.) We'll see you back here for Indie Wednesday and anything else that comes up this week!
