Talk To The Dead

Charlotte Paru writes in an email:

"Please let's leave the dead be."

A fascinating comment turned up on a new web site by Nicole Zapruder, who has been "communicating with the dead since she was 4 years old." People aren't disputing her ability; they're asking her not to share the technique on the internet.

"All peoples of earth posess this natural ability," Nicole counters, adding that her site comes with a detailed warning. ("Do not contact any dead person who may have negative feelings toward you...")

Nicole Zapruder's technique of talking with the dead involves something called the "Grey Walter - Berger Construct." Based on the video on the site, this entails looking into a stroboscopic light while a guy with a British accent repeatedly says "Look into the light."

But based on the high number of references the site makes to the recent movie The Orphanage, I'm guessing the entire site is, in fact, guerrilla marketing for that movie. So I'm playing right into their hands by posting about it, but I like horror movies, so I'm willing to give them some free publicity.

There's no real trick in talking to the dead. The trick is getting the dead to talk to YOU.

Well if it's for The Orphange, I'll let her off! Del Toro is a good director and by chance I was watching The Devil's Backbone last ight, which was good.

Del Toro was not the director of The Orphanage. The Director was J.A. Bayona.

The site is indeed a viral for the launch of "The Orphanage" in Australia.

I looked up their domain registry and service, and it is hosted by an online ad agency.
