Belinda and Braydon are finally in their new studio and take the time to discuss two interesting hauntings with you today. Sorry in advance if the audio is a bit different, we're still working out the kinks. Belinda starts the show off by discussing the original inspiration for the Stephen King novel "The Shining", which he got from the Stanley Hotel in Colorado. Although King didn't recount too many weird occurrences while staying at the Stanley, he did report his son having an incredibly weird nightmare about the location. King's mind was swept away by the mystique and isolation, and had the Shining thought up within one evening. Unknown to King, but known particularly well now is the fact that the Stanley Hotel is incredibly haunted! Odd paranormal phenomena are constantly experiences on the premises, and the hotel even offers courageous guests a chance to stay in known haunted rooms if they desire. Braydon goes on to discuss Greg and Dana Newkirk from the Travelling Museum of the Paranormal and Occult, and a particularly spooky item they have in their travelling collection. The item is known as Billy, the Idol of Nightmares, and much as the name suggests, it's infamous for causing horrendous strings of nightmares over the span of weeks after handling it. The Newkirks have investigated and worked with the idol, and have uncovered it to be from the late 1700's - early 1800's, and be from the Central Congo.
