UNAWARE – Official 2012 Selection

Willy Adkins — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:12:29 +0000

The film’s content deals with the question, “What happened to the alien bodies that were recovered from the 1947 Roswell incident?” It not only asks this question, but also answers it with images that will shock and horrify the viewing audience in such a profound way that one will need to carefully reassess their beliefs in extraterrestrial life. This film is not a documentary/mock-documentary, meaning that the people in the footage did NOT intend to investigate or see what they saw and experienced. Many people mistake it as such because they have not seen the footage for themselves. But for further clarification, the couple seen in the footage was on a vacation, not an expedition to find/see an alien. While in theory it appears similar to “The Blair Witch Project” or “Paranormal Activity”, please note that the latest trailer, as seen on YouTube, is not necessarily a chronological depiction of the footage. www.UnawareFootage.com

Green Lobster Men from Planet Z – 2012 Official Selection!

Willy Adkins — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 20:59:33 +0000

The residents of Planet Z have become angered by Earth’s treatment of it’s distant relatives, the lobsters of the sea. Mysterious headaches begin to haunt the humans, and televisions all over the globe are starting to malfunction. When flying saucers are noticed by Earth’s citizens to be hovering around in the skies, the President of the United States (Ray Sofia) must put together a team to investigate the situation. He calls on Donald (Jack Guasta), his best agent, and Barry (Scott McSorley), his right hand man, to eliminate the threat. Donald is asked to travel to Chicago, where he is to meet with Lt. Jacobson (Jay Howell) and confront the aliens, but little does he know that the Ruler of the Lobster Men (Michael Schmid) and his cronie (Chad Foor) have no intentions to negotiate. Unfortunately for the world, the green lobster men from planet Z have already moved into phase four. From the mind of Patrick Love, 4Lizard Productions brings you this tribute to Ed Wood and B-Movie fans everywhere who have been waiting for that next cult film to add to their collections. Also starring Nissa Inhulsen, Will Cummings III, Josh Ryder, Erin Rigney, Nick Rees, Phranque Wright, Steve Hladik, Rahul Thakkar, and Jimi Gambill, ‘Green Lobster Men From Planet Z’ may just make you think about your own destruction the next time you have drawn butter and lobster on your dinner plate. www.4lizardproductions.com

Edward Shanahan – Special Guest at AP 2012!

Willy Adkins — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:58:44 +0000

Edward Shanahan – Chicago Spirit Feeler, Medium, Psychic Reader, Healer, Spiritualist and Paranormal Host.
Article writer for the Chicago Tribune Newspaper’s ‘Chicago Now’ web site, The Examiner and Haunted America
Tours. Written about in three paranormal books by three different authors: Voices from the Chicago Graves
in 2003. Encyclopedia of Haunted Places in 2005. Chicago Haunts 3 in 2009.

Author of his own books published in 2011: ‘Taking the Paranormal and Spiritual World Seriously.
Theories – Thoughts – Experiences’ (all major online book stores). And ‘ My letter to God’ (exclusive
with Amazon).

Creator in 2010 of the Free to download App with GPS: Chicago Haunted Archer Avenue Tour.
The free App comes with audio history and paranormal history and color photos of nearly 20 locations.
It is like having a color photo book with audio history of every location. It can also be used as a free
tour as the GPS will take you from you home to every stop after on Haunted Archer Avenue.

Besides providing and booked nearly every weekend for entertaining Psychic House and
Corporate Parties, Shanahan also provides Chicago Paranormal Nights for individuals to explore
and experience haunted locations. Each paranormal night end’s with Edward Shanahan’s ‘Circle
of Energy Seance’ and with that it is his goal to attempt to raise the spirits to interact with those
present thus allowing them to become the Mediums for the Spirits, an experience for those
present and a great source for EVP’s be it on voice recorders or video for Paranormal Investigators.

He has also had very good sessions with the use of Ghost Boxes, be it his or those that others
bring to paranormal nights. He first experienced the ability and the responses with a Ghost Box
when Ursula Bielski and he held a paranormal night at the Villisca Ax Murder House about seven
years ago and since then he uses a Ghost Box when they are present or he brings his along.
He picks up on a Spirit(s) in a room and directs his question to knowing what the answer may be,
the thing he does different, is he allows others to interpret the answers, as he has no input or say
about what is coming from the Ghost Box. What has become unusual, is almost every Ghost
Box session in the last two years, Edward’s name is called out from the box a couple times
a night.

Edward Shanahan also channel’s spirits of individual’s loved ones who have passed away, by
using psychometery with a loved one’s item like reading glasses, rings, watches etc. items
the loved ones would of worn and picked up their energy.

Besides being a Speaker, Edward Shanahan will be doing readings for individuals and
readings of their items from loved ones who have passed away.

Jim’s horror writing has not stopped there. He has also contributed many articles to national publications, such as Scary Monsters Magazine, Scars Magazine, Haunted Attraction Magazine, Comics Interview, and Underground Entertainment, and has been recognized in Fangoria Magazine, Alternative Cinema, Fright Times, and Femme Fatale Magazine. Jim was also “immortalized” as a comic book character opposite Thor in an issue of MARVEL Comic’s “What The…?” and has appeared as himself (along with Ken Foree, Tom Savini, Debbie Rochon, Brinke Stevens, James Gunn, and more) in the fictional horror novel, BAD MOON RISING… the third installment of Jonathan Mayberry’s GHOST ROAD BLUES trilogy…. and in ZOMBIE: CSU. In addition, Jim has written a paranormal book about real hauntings in Tennessee for Schiffer Publishing titled TENNESSEE GHOSTS and has recently released his follow-up titled HOLLYWOOD’S PARANORMAL FILMS.

Currently, Jim continues to work as an actor and stuntman on several films per year, recently cast opposite Andrew “Wishmaster” Divoff (Lost, Airforce One), Tom Savini (Grindhouse, From Dusk Til Dawn), and Jason Carter (Babylon 5, Angel) in The Dead Matter, playing Kane Hodder’s (Hatchet, Friday The 13th) brother in Old Habits Die Hard, acting opposite Linnea Quigley (Return Of The Living Dead) and Monique Dupree in Post Mortem America, appearing with Ari Lehman (Friday The 13th), Daniel Taylor (Return Of The Swamp Thing), John Dugan (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Playmate Alex Del Monnaco in Hell-ephone, portraying an alien bounty hunter in It Came From Trafalgar, with Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), Butch Patrick (The Munsters), Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Gunnar Hansen (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), appearing with Tiffany Shepis, Gunnar Hansen, Ed Neal, and John Dugan in Shudder, and is in development deals for three more of his screenplays.

She is the author of five popular and critically acclaimed books on the same subjects, all published by Lake Claremont Press.

Ursula’s interests in Chicago ghost hunting began at a young age. She grew up in a haunted house on Chicago’s north side and received an early education in Chicago history from her father, a Chicago police officer, who introduced Ursula to the ghosts at Graceland Cemetery, Montrose Point and the old lockup at the storied Maxwell Street Police Station. Since that time Ursula has been involved in countless investigations of haunted sites in and around Chicago, including such notorious locales as Wrigley Field, the Congress Hotel, the Indiana Dunes, the Red Lion Pub, Hull House, Bachelors Grove Cemetery, Rose Hill Cemetery, haunted Archer Avenue, Chinatown, the Eastland disaster site, Death Alley, Dillinger’s Alley and the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre site. Her paranormal travels have also led her to investigate sites as diverse and infamous as the Bell Witch Cave in Tennessee; the Oshkosh, Wisconsin Opera House; New Orleans’ House of the Rising Sun; the City Cemetery in Key West, Florida; and the Civil War Battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Aside from her writing, Ursula has been featured on numerous television documentaries, including productions by the A&E Network, The History Channel, The Learning Channel, The Travel Channel, and PBS. She also appears regularly on local Chicago television and radio and lectures throughout the year at various libraries, historical and professional societies. In addition to her books, Ursula is the author of numerous scholarly articles exploring the links between history and the paranormal, including articles published in the International Journal of Parapsychology. Ursula is a past editor of PA News, the quarterly newsletter of the Parapsychological Association, a past president and board member of the Pi Gamma Chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honor society, and holds membership in the Society of Midland Authors.

A graduate of St. Benedict High School in Chicago, Ursula holds a B.A. degree in history from Benedictine University and an M.A. in American cultural and intellectual history from Northeastern Illinois University. Her academic explorations include the Spiritualist movement of the 19th century and its transformation into psychical research and parapsychology, and the relationships among belief, experience, science, and religion.
