I was invited to be a co-host Residual Haunting Revived a couple of months ago. For anyone who listens to the show, you know that we have a Sci fi movie that I watch every week and review. We talk about what we loved and what we didn't love about that week's movie.
So what's the purpose of this blog? At times I feel like the movie we reviewed doesn't quite give as much attention as is deserved. We do a few minutes talking about it on the show, and then we are done. I wanted to do a blog where I could write full reviews of all of the movies. Below each review will be a rating based on a number from 1 to 20. So for anyone who wishes to have a little bit more in-depth view on the movie can check out this blog and see exactly what I have to say about it.
Alright, now that we've covered the basic purpose of this blog, let's get a bit more into my background. Obviously, my name is Jess. I've from a very small town in Central Utah where I've always said there are probably more cows than people. Probably just in my uncle's herd alone. So yes, I enjoy all the simple joys in life that living in a small town brings. I love horses, I love animals, I love my mountains and yes, I love to hunt. I have a very awesome and very loving husband who keeps me laughing on a daily basis. We have two dogs, Kash (our St. Bernard/Labrador mix) and Rowdy (our Border Collie) who are our babies.
I have always been into Sci fi, Fantsay and Horror, but living in a small town, had a hard time finding someone to share it with. It is true that Tom (host of Residual Haunting Revived) was the one who introduced me to Firefly and Doctor Who, two of my favorite things. I love reading and have even written a little ever since 7th grade. I love playing video games, which I believe is one of the reasons I was brought on the show, since out of the three hosts (Tom, Russ and myself) I seem to be the one that knows the most about video games. I also love table top games, I absolutely adore RPGs.
In addition to everything I am also a team lead of Wasatch Paranormal Investigators. I've been with WPI pretty much since the beginning and I love my team like my own family. I've always been into the paranormal and when I was a child I used to see a lot of dark shadows. But I believe my love of the paranormal was sparked by seeing Ghostbusters for the very first time. I was 6 or 7, maybe younger when is was shown on tv. Ever since that day I had dreamed of being a Ghostbuster. In 4th grade I even dressed up like Peter for Halloween. As a kid I loved to read ghost stories and I especially loved the ghost stories that were told to me by people closest to me, the main one being my brother. He was probably telling them to me to freak me out, but it just helped to fuel my curiosity. My freshman year of high school I saw my first episode of Ghost Hunters and I was hooked. I would visit the library every day after school finding anything I could on the internet and reading anything I could get my hands on to learn more of the paranormal.
Freshman year of college my roommate and I decided that we would run our own investigation and LUPA (Logan Utah Paranormal Association) was formed, mostly just for fun than for any professional reason. We didn't catch anything, but after making a Myspace page I was contacted by other investigators which in turn lead me to more connections in the paranormal. I was originally part of another team when I met WPI. A few months later I decided to move to WPI was a much better fit for me and I have been with them ever since.
As I've said, be sure to tune into Residual Haunting Revived on Mondays. We talk about not only the paranormal, but anything that we find interesting. We always have a good time and it's always very entertaining. Come and join in on the fun. Also be sure to check out Conclave of Horror that will be held at Neumont University in South Jordan, Utah.
