FILMING FOR MY GHOST STORY-101 RANCH-PONCA CITY, OKLAHOMA

This is another experience that I can only describe as "new". At some points it was annoying, redundant, but all in all it was fun. I got to see a different side of everyone that was involved. I was chosen to play the role of "the psychic", I know it is a vague name, but there is a method to the madness. The storyline was about an experience that Cathy Nance and Mike Ricksecker had. They had went to do an investigation at a church in Guthrie with "the psychic". During the investigation the psychic kept proclaiming that there was an entity known as a "crawler" outside of the church. The "psychic" considers them as an entity from another plain of existence that are confrontational.
She kept urging them to stay away from the doors and windows because of the crawler. Near the end of the investigation "the crawler" finally managed to get inside the church. Which caused "the psychic" to have a conniption fit. Cathy, Mike, and the other investigators didn't see the being. Although they heard it moving about in the basement of the church. An empty bottle was thrown at them which caused "the psychic" to go over the edge. She began singing church hymns at the top of her lungs and another religious member followed her lead. The "psychic" was so freaked she demanded the other investigators to sing.

At this point Cathy was ultimately peeved and reluctantly began singing along. Although the whole time wringing the "psychic's" neck would have sufficed. Cathy was upset that she drove all the way up from Houston to Guthrie; just to sing church hymns and scare off something paranormal. When the whole point of coming up was to find something of that nature. Which if I were in Cathy's position I would have been uber mad too.


Since the society didn't want "the psychic" to reprise her role in the reenactment. Because we don't want her name synomymous with ours. I was designated to play her role. I had a fun time channeling my inner diva and at the end acting like a total fraidy cat. I also got to encounter Cathy's "bad side", and it was also nice to investigate with Mike and Chris. We were ACTUALLY investigating during the filming. None of that is faked nor acted out. We encountered the spirit of Zach on the ghost box and a woman. When it became darker we saw shadow people, at one point, it was broad daylight I was walking to the back buildings. I saw a shadow figure standing in a shaft of light, back against the wall, one foot bent back against the wall, and wearing a cowboy hat. It turned its head and looked in my direction, shoved off the wall, and disappeared.

We also went to Cowboy Hill to film where Zach T. Miller April 22, 1877-Jan. 3, 1982, Sam C. Stigall Feb. 11, 1885-May 23,1967, and Jack Webb June 19, 1902-June 1,1956. Are all buried up on Cowboy Hill, they were the greats of Oklahoma Rodeo, and then some.


101 Ranch was once it's own self sustaining town, they even had their own money, and jurisdiction of law. They had their own building to generate electricity, general store, jail, and even a circus across the road from the mansion. Though the property hit hard times during the The Great Depression.

The episode should air sometime in September or October. Awesome!

ON THE TOPIC OF FRIENDING AND OF INFAMY

I have always wondered if I ever became famous or earned some sort of noriety. Whether I was a famous writer, or just doing something I loved. If it would have some sort of effect on my family and friends. The reason why I think about these things is because I have noticed there will always be some sort of stigma attached to your name. Good or bad it doesn’t matter, it will always be there.

My thoughts on this were furthered after sending a message to Zach Buell. Who is the younger brother of Ryan Buell famed paranormal investigator of Paranormal State, I had added him to my friends list on FaceBook about a month ago. I finally decided to message him and talk to him; he sent me this message in return:

“I feel asleep last night with my phone appearing me as online that's why I never messaged back, I don't know who you are and your probably just a fan of my brother which is cool and all but I'm nothing like my brother and I don't really have a relationship with him, we have the same dad and that's about it, I might see him once a year for a few hours, so if you added me so you could get to him or something like that it's not going to happen.”

I really don’t blame him for being so leery about me. If I were in a position such as his I would be to. It makes me feel really sorry for the kid because it is hard to trust people. When your name is always going to be forever synonymous to your older brother’s name. I sent this message back in reply:

“No. That's not why I added you at all. I am sorry that you feel that way though. I am just trying to branch out and make more friends. I will not lie I am a fan of your brother, but I think it’s wrong to manipulate people for selfish reasons. If I wanted to talk to your brother, I would just message him. lol So how are you?”

This is totally true, if I really was hell-bent on his brother. I would just message Ryan Buell on any website I could find, message the people connected to him nonstop, and flock to meet him everywhere that I possibly could. As if I were some deranged, crazed fan girl. The only thing I have done is friend some of the team from Paranormal State so I can keep up to date on things. If I don’t get an update from any of them then so be it. They are just another cyber personality taking space on my friend’s list. That’s all.
