The debut of Ghost Stories 2: Unmasking the Dead is now showing at Georgetown Stadium 14 Cinemas. Thursday's viewers had
a chance to watch the movie with film's creator, Dan T. Hall, and cast
members Marilene Isaacs and Shannon Simpson, Regional Director for Indiana
Ghost Trackers. Hall had no intentions of making a paranormal movie until
he accidentally stumbled into its world while filming a different movie
at Central State Hospital.
He said strange "stuff happened". His daughter summoned him when
the screen on the TV in their RV turned red. He told her to switch to another
channel, and she told him all the stations had a red screen. It just so
happened it was Friday the 13 and a full moon. Hall does not know if it
was evil or good, he just recognized there was a force among them.
Hall wanted to know what, if anything, was going on. He could not ignore
the eerie sensations, so he contacted paranormal experts to come investigate
the empty hospital and its five miles of tunnels, giving birth to Central State, his first film on the paranormal.
Shannon Simpson recalled her first paranormal experience at the age of
six. She was visiting with her grandmother after the recent death of her
grandfather. She observed her deceased grandfather walking down the hall
into his bedroom and then disappear. She recalls saying "hi"
and he just nodded at her. She vividly remembers a pipe in his mouth and
the flannel shirt he was wearing. Simpson said her grandfather died from
Alzheimers at Central State Hospital. Simpson is a ghost investigator,
tracking electronic voice phenomenon, also known as ghost talking. She
prefers to use a regular analog voice recorder to track spiritual communications.
Hall said that voices could be detected when the crew visited the 3,000
year old mummy at Wayne County Historical Museum in Richmond. He said they were unable to decipher the language.
Isaacs said she was born with a psychic gift and recalls her own birth
experience. She believes she has been reincarnated and remembers her past
lives. "I never disconnected from my past lives." For Isaacs,
it is not paranormal. She has learned to integrate her life between heaven
and earth until it feels normal.
Her spirituality is a full-time profession at the Isaacs Center for Peace. Isaacs has been on the Bob and Tom Show and chosen as Best Psychic in
2004 by Indianapolis Monthly. She described her visit to Central State
as feeling a lot of people's suffering and pain. Isaacs gave blessing of
peace to try to heal the hurt of those lives lost at Central State.
