AFI Gala Opening Night Red Carpet Interview
I was on my way to Opening Night at AFI Fest and I got caught in stupid L.A traffic coming from San Diego so I missed this interview! Just so you know this is not the entire cast of Deadgirl. The rest of the main cast that are not in this interview is myself Jenny Spain(Deadgirl), Eric podnar (Wheeler) and Shiloh Fernandez (Rickie).
Pictures from Ghost Trestle in Adrian, Michigan
This is what I caught on my camera, not sure what it is!
We saw something go quickly across the road.
Mist caught. All cars were off!
So its NOT all Deadgirl
I had the opportunity to meet up with Chris Fleming (Dead Famous) while he was on his 2008 American Paranormal Tour. He had a Lecture/Ghosthunt at Adrian College and I thought it would be cool to check it out. Very interesting! I am not one to sit still through lectures but this had me. He discussed is own experiences as well as paranormal on many levels. In his lecture he included video, audio and pictures to back up his paranormal experiences. Very Impressive! After his lecture I followed the group of selected students for a late night ghost hunt at Adrian College, MI. We headed to an area of the college where supposivley there was lots of paranormal activity. Chris tried contacting the spirits using different devices such as digital recorder(EVP), KII Meter and a Beat Box. I have used a digital recorder before but not a KII or Beat Box. Chris knew excactly what he was doing, and he is good at it! The stuff people experienced and heard were blown away.
What we experienced at Adrian College was nothing compared to our late late night Ghost Hunt. Oh man, I have never been so scared in my life. Okay maybe I have but this place was haunted! Scared the shit out of me. A couple students from Adrian came up to us and told us about this place in Adrian,MI that wasn't far from the college that happens to be one of Michigan's most haunted places. Let me give you a little background on Adrian, MI. I pulled this article up for you.

Scariest and Most Haunted Places in Michigan
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/622217/the_scariest_and_most_haunted_places.html?page=2&cat=16
A quiet little college town, a rural farming community, a thriving small town. Adrian, Michigan has it all. There are many reasons people choose to live, visit or stay here in Lenawee County, although some love it so much here that they choose to never leave even long after they have passed away.
Adrian is well known as being a great place to live but it also unknowingly a place where ghosts and spirits thrive and taunt those who happen to come across them.
Below are some of the most Haunted Places here in my home town of Adrian, Michigan, and some of the experiences that I have had with visiting these areas.
Ghost Trestle-
One of the creepiest haunted locations in Adrian is Ghost Trestle which is located in rural south east Lenawee County on Bailey Rd, just a few miles off of M52. While not too easy to find, it doesn't seem to have a lot of passerby's other than those who live on Bailey Rd, the teenagers who love to go there to get spooked out and of course the family that died near there many years ago. Legend has it that a barn and house on the nearby property caught fire back in the late 1800's. A man went into the barn to try to put out the fire, meanwhile his wife who was carrying their infant child in her arms went to the nearby train tracks to flag a train down for help. The mother slipped and fell into the path of the oncoming train killing both her and her infant child. The man later perished in the fire. To this day it is said that you are able to go to the trestle and be able to hear the women and child screaming late at night. It is said that this is a paranormal hot spot in which you can communicate with the dead, it is also well known to be a portal to the "other side".
Okay so obviously we headed out to this Ghost Trestle. We followed these guys down a dirt road that had nothing but corn fields and farmland with only maybe about 3 farm houses. We pull up to this area where we parked under this railway. Lucky us, we got to actually catch the train go over us! Thats just the beginning. I swear after the train passed things started to get really interesting!! We were seeing shadows, Electroics were going wacky, My camera liked to take pictures by itself. We saw orbs and flashes of lights. We are in the middle of nowhere, no cars..nothing!! All this shit was happening around us. It was nutts! Here are some pictures from that night!
