STAR TOURING AND RIDING ASSOCIATION AND FEED THE CHILDREN TO HELP 400 GREENVILLE FAMILIES

 

GREENVILLE, S.C. (June x, 2012) – On Saturday, June 9, Feed The Children will team with members of STAR Touring & Riding Association Chapter 352 to provide food and essentials for 400 Greenville area families. Feed The Children’s semi tractor-trailer will meet members of STAR Touring at 8 a.m. at Cherrydale Cinema Parking Lot (3221 N. Pleasantburg Dr.) for the beginning of the parade. The parade will end at United Ministries, located at 606 Pendleton St. The food distribution will take place at 10 a.m.

 

STAR Touring is the officially recognized Star Motorcycle owners group. Chapters raise funds to sponsor Feed The Children distributions in their respective areas across the United States. This charitable donation to the Greenville, South Carolina community is made possible by the members of STAR Chapter 352. Those members are also donating their time to hold the parade and help distribute the food and essentials.

 

 

Feed The Children partner agency United Ministries has pre-identified the recipient families. Each family has received a voucher which entitles them to a 25-pound box of food and a 10-pound box of personal care items. The boxes are designed to help a family of four for up to one week.

 

One in five children living in Greenville County (21.3 percent) is considered impoverished. The number of impoverished children in South Carolina (277,722) could fill Greenville-Pickens Speedway more than 13 times.

 

“Once again, we are so thankful to STAR Touring & Riding Association for helping to provide the food and essentials to families,” said Tony Sellars, spokesperson for Feed The Children. “We can always count on STAR Touring and their members to help keep our trucks rolling across the country.”

Founded in 1979, Feed The Children is consistently ranked as one of the 10 largest international charities in the U.S., based on private, non-government support. Our mission is providing hope and resources for those without life’s essentials .

Where to buy RT-EVP ghost box and digital voice recorder for ghost hunting

Created by the man who designed the MEL meter devices specifically for paranormal use, this recorder does it all!

First it is a very high quality recorder with extended frequency recording range according the creator… Thus allowing a greater range of EVP ability.

Next, this device has a built in ghost box feature which has been seen used on Ghost Adventures many times. Similar to the “Franks Box” or Ghost Box, this digital recorder has a built in radio receiver and you can adjust the scan frequency speed. Essentially making this the smallest available ghost box device!

The RT-EVP is also the only voice recorder that has live review so you may play back in the field to see if you get a response while still recording.

With all of the great features it is not wonder why these RT-EVP spirit box digital recorder combos often sell out fast.

Ghost hunting with The Rise Guys Guys Greenville Army Navy Store 2011 evidence

It was late 2011… Halloween was approaching, and as usual I was getting swamped with inquiries about the Greenville Ghost Tour. A message arrives and it is from FatBoy… No no no… That is his name on the radio folks. So FatBoy is on a popular local radio show called The Rise Guys on 93.3 The Planet and tells me that they try and hunt ghosts every year. He was wondering if I could take them some place really haunted. Since I had to make some special arrangements I told I would get back to him and got to work.

I figured this would be the perfect time to try and schedule a block buster location to investigate. After looking over my options, I went and talked to my friends at Greenville Army Store since they have had some strange things happen. The Army Navy store downtown is one of Greenville South Carolinas’ oldest family run stores. Opened in 1946 by Harry Zaglin and still run to this very day by his son… Jeff. Over the years Jeff and his staff have come to trust the Greenville Ghost Tour enough to share their own haunted encounters in the store with me in my book: Haunted Greenville South Carolina, published 2011 The History Press

Once Jeff agreed to allow me to bring our guests in for this exclusive first time investigation, I let FatBoy know that I had a special ghost hunt planned for them. Here is the thing, I only told them that they were getting access to an exclusive investigation in one of the oldest business downtown. They had no idea where the location was until just a couple of days before the actual event… You can imagine their surprise when they found exactly where we were going.

Since we were in there for nearly two hours, the video below is just the highlights of what turned out to be a very eventful night. This is a full television show length video featuring the high points… but at 28 minutes long this mean you may should pause the video for 5 or 10 minutes before you attempt to watch it all the way through.

In the first part, we find ourselves in the basement… where something touches my “Geophone” vibration sensor while no one is near. Then several of our batteries drain. First in my camera, then in The Rise Guys voice recorder… From there we discover a strange EMF anomaly upstairs on the retail floor. Then later in the video we conduct a ghost box session (similar to a Franks box) where the spirits call out my name, then the names of several of The Rise Guys team. During this session, determine for yourself is the is the decease proprietor of the Army Store telling us “You don’t get it” …. “Come back next week”… “Get out…. we’re closed”…

Enjoy! Oh and if YOU haven’t been on the Greenville Ghost Tour yet… go ahead and order your tickets now!

Also go shopping at Greenville Army Navy Store right downtown and tell them Greenville Ghost Tour sent you in… just make sure you say to Harry too!

nightmare-dungeon-flame-ban

Nightmare Dungeon Website

For 18 years Scream Productions have been bringing nightmares to life.  This year is no exception.  Nightmare Dungeon will be the upstate’s scariest haunted house.  With over 20 wretched horror scenes, this will be the longest nightmare experience.  Expect to be thrilled and chilled over and over again. The picture you see is the actual house.  The Nightmare Dungeon is an old 2 story farm house walk thru attraction featuring many scares and dark tight places. Located on an old concrete companys property known as zupan sand, this attraction features a combination of dark tunnels and maze like rooms, digital sound and motivated actors, as well as fine detail and realism. We have added lots of new props, and made many changes for the 2012 season.

Second floor, scares never stop coming, filled with horror, terror, gore, screams,

Get on an old simulated shaft elevator that takes you 300 feet underground to The Dungeon of Lost Souls, features a labyrinth of old cells, drafty halls and a series of human experiments that have gone horribly wrong. This show includes CGI special effects, illusions, great detail and amazing actors.

The Tunnel of Terror attraction takes you through a long underground tunnel underneath the grounds of the old zupan estate, this attraction is guaranteed to produce screams.

The Stanley Hotel Haunted House

What: The Stanley Hotel was the inspiration for Stephen King’s “The Shining” but what really happened there was too disturbing for the movie.  The Stanley Hotel Haunted House doesn’t scare you in the ways you’re expecting – it’s more of a bone-chilling, mind-altering, scream-for-your-mama kind of experience. The creators of the Stanley Hotel Haunted House won Best of the Upstate last year for “Gallow Halls,” and they have upped the creepiness factor even more for this year.

Where: 245 North Main Street, Greenville, SC 29601
Next to Jersey Mike’s and the Beaded Frog, across Main from the Hyatt, near the intersection of Main Street and Beatty.

You get TWICE the fright for ONE ticket price! Mad patients roam the halls, evil doctors guard the doors, and there’s enough screaming to drive anyone insane!

Where: 555 Haywood Road, Greenville, SC 29607

Scene on 7 intrviews Jason Profit at haunted greenville store daly design

Shortly after releasing a video of things moving around in a haunted store downtown, Jamarcus Gaston from News channel 7 WSPA wanted to talk to me at this popular store.

Daly Design is an amazingly eclectic boutique that is featured in my new book “Haunted Greenville SC” coming out later this year. One day I was walking by when the store was closed… there was no heat or air system on… yet these glass globes were moving around all by themselves in a very dramatic fashion.

I finally got  around to releasing this footage because I thought it should be seen by the public. There really are strange things happening whether we want to admit it or not. Shortly thereafter, this was the feature that aired on WSPA’s Scene on 7.
