In this maze of vaults, lies old history that still roams the undergrounds of Edinburgh. After people decided that the vaults were full of way to much murder, trafficking, and illness. The town’s people filled up the entrance and every other way to enter the vaults, with rubbish or whatever substance they could find to fill the open motel.

    As a heavily-laden ship made its way up the channel of the Delaware River around 1770, it foundered and broke apart on a mud shoal, dumping its cargo of peas into the water. When the peas sprouted, an island eventually emerged. Ergo, the legend of how Pea Patch Island came into existence between Delaware City, Del., and Salem County, N.J. Habitation on the island remained relegated to migratory birds until the early 19th century. As it grew in size, government officials recognized the potential for inclusion of Pea Patch in a military defense system for the Atlantic coastal area. The construction of a wooden fort resulted; designed to protect the upriver cities of New Castle and Philadelphia from attack.…

    During the 16th and 17th centuries the Native Americans were seen as savages. The kind of picture that would be constructed would be them being seen as animals and ‘people’ who were not human enough for the foreigners who traveled to this new found land. In “Mundus Novus” Amerigo Vespucci describes the Native Americans as “gentle and amenable (503).” Vespucci thought it was strange that they did not wear clothing, “both of the sexes go about naked, covering no parts of their bodies; and just as they spring from their mothers’ wombs so they go until death (503).”…

    In the article, Wild Indians: Native Perspectives on the Hiawatha Asylum for Insane Indians, scholar Pemina Yellow Bird, raises her voice in respect to the native community. White settlers invaded aboriginals land and justified their violence on the basis that natives were characteristically primitive, mentally ill, and uncivilized, yet they committed the inflicting. Indigenous peoples are the intergenerational survivors of a holocaust where nobody escaped unscathed. In 1889, the United States Congress forcibly placed native peoples, primarily the elderly, into the Hiawatha Insane Asylum for Indians of Canton, South Dakota. The asylum promised to heal, rehabilitate, and eventually release them, but in reality, this disciplinary action was part of an ongoing cultural genocide that sought to destroy the racialized ‘Other,’ that cast slow suffering upon the aboriginal population.…

    “I was especially intrigued by the backstage area of the Magic Kingdom, a system of tunnels known as Utilidors beneath the park where Cast Members could travel from one land to any other without ever seeing the light of day, ascending color-coded staircases to emerge behind a fake storefront or a theater lobby” (Mitchell 678). Following this quotation, Mitchell describes the tunnels under the surface of Disney’s Magic Kingdom as a huge web of corridors used for maintenance, air-conditioning equipment, and storage of overstock. There is also a Disney bank, locker rooms, and a cafeteria. The walls are covered with insulated pipes for high-voltage cable. Overhead, there is a waste disposal system for trash to travel from multiple dumping sites…

    I was actually starting to really get into the idea of spending a month reviewing exclusively films from Full Moon Entertainment, then The Vault came down like a hammer smashing that cozy idea. I don't know why I was expecting more out of The Vault than what got delivered. It's not that I set my standards all the high, I think the issue is that the Vault is a genuine bad movie. Possibly the worst I've seen to date and that's including Bitten. At least I can say with Bitten that it was at least able to keep me engaged enough I didn't fall asleep, forcing me to re-watch it later to properly review it (I nearly fell asleep during the second viewing as well).…

    As the International Ghost Hunters Society said : when there are pictures taken on haunted sights, skeptics of ghosts say that they are camera flaws, this has not yet been proven otherwise and it is getting harder to prove that these beings exist when more and more people around the world are taking fake pictures and making up pretend stories. Maybe these people are hungry for attention or just want to believe that they live in a haunted area.
