This is in response to my Fatal Frame II Camera piece, the one with the spirit orb in a box next the the camera:
this actually might sound weird but ever since i made it, weird stuff have been happening around me. no joke. a couple of months ago, there were some "violent" happenings in my dorm that included black shadows and a inverted pentagram and appliances that would plug themselves in while in a locked room just a couple of seconds after we locked the door. not all my friends that were there believed in ghosts. actually, one of them flat out told us that she didn't, but one night she saw shadows "standing upright."
i guess the other part of it was that my friends were messing around with a Ouija board and another one of my friends, actually, the one who initiated it, has a history of witnessing paranormal and demonic activity. she's a fan of the fatal frame series as well and she asked to hold the camera when i first met her. when she gave it back, i didn't say anything about it but the camera was hot. not burning, yet anyway, but definitely hotter than body temperature.
honestly, i loved the games and the series and the concept, but i never really believed in ghosts until i met her. when you hear sighs, growls, and whispers coming from the same room as you and its obvious no one else is there with you, im pretty sure somethings wrong. or at least, something you cant see is happening.
i've never felt so alone, nor scared, nor protective of anyone than in this past year. I felt like me and my friends were in danger every day. i'm roman catholic and as i dont practice any "magic" or "rituals," (any more than the ones we catholics already do lol.) and i didn't believe in all that wicca stuff that other people do, but i did some research and bought some "stuff" to help my friend with the darker past. i dont do stuff like this. i dont believe in stuff like this. but i did it when things got really bad, when the activity got to happening every night and even during the day.
I'm sorry. I dont usually pour out like this on DA, or the internet for that matter, but i felt like i needed to get that out.
i love all of your guys' comments, i really do, but i just needed to show that things aren't so "awesome" here on the other side.
i guess one more thing that i should say is that because of all thats been happening, i've let go of my interest in fatal frame. As a film student, I'm forced to finish my film that is based off of fatal frame, but afterwards, i will not be visiting the material anymore. to lessen the load, im also stopping all of the interaction between me and the DA members that involve fatal frame. you're welcome to comment but i won't message or email you back.(unless it regards any other art topic that just so happens to spawn from these pictures or any of my other fatal frame work.)
thank you so much for all of the support and...everything...
you know, it's funny, i think this picture is the reason why i have some fans and people who "watch" me and have made my social networking so much broader, and for me to basically say "sorry, but i can't" i'm going against all of that.
i went to a convention and saw some fatal frame fans there and one of them had this picture as their wallpaper on their cellphone. it was awesome. but i have to do what i feel is right.
