Well, we made it through the week! Now its time for the biggest costume ball of the year. I’m being a great Canadian beaver.
In tribute to the weekend that will inevitably pickle my liver and leave it in the toilet for 24 hours… here’s two songs by a band I found today that blew my brain apart. MATH THE BAND!
Math The Band – Hang Out/Hang Ten
Math The Band – Wear Wolf Fever

The Greyfriars Cemetery
Greyfrairs Graveyard in Edinburgh Scotland is known as one of the most haunted sites in the world. The haunting is directly linked to the ghost of George Mackenzie, a Scottish lawyer who died in 1691. George Mackenize had a large role in King Charles I’s clash with the Covenanters, a group of christians opposed to the new rule of the Episcopalian church.
In 1679, there was a large battle between the Covenanters and Charles II’s army in which Covenanters were outnumbered and hundreds were taken hostage. George Mackenzie had a heavy hand in the torture and death of many Covenanters. Many who were not imprisoned in Greyfrairs Court were sold as slaves and shipped to the West Indes; However due to some unfortunate twist of fate, the ship that carried the slaves crashed off the coast of Orkney in northern England.
According to accounts dating back to 1990 (when the grave of Mackenzie happen to be disturbed) over 500 people have reported being assaulted by some sort of other-worldly being. Attacks include cuts, bruises, physical pushing, and most commonly black outs. Mackenzie’s grave was ransacked supposedly by a homeless man whom upon seeing an unlocked gate entered the tomb in hopes of finding some sort of shelter. Seeing a coffin, the man broken open the lid in hope of finding anything of value (he was unsuccessful).
Since that night countless reports of poltergeist activity have been claimed; the first of which happened just days after the tomb was broken into. The area around Mackenzie’s tomb in Greyfrairs Cemetry has been completely gated off in a bid to protect future guests from his ghost.

Well there are only 5 days left till Halloween. I’m excited, your excited, hell even Rob is excited!
I figured I needed a theme for the next 5 days so here it is: One scary story a day for 5 days, ending with the most terrifying of all! Today’s Tale Is:
Brother 12 was born J.C Skottowe in England. At an early age he claimed to be subjected to many visions warning him to travel far and wide to find a land to set up a religious foundation. In the 1920′s, Brother 12 found him self on Vancouver Island, around the area now known as Cedar, part of Nanaimo. Brother 12 had laid the ground work for what would come to be known as The Aquarian Foundation, a group of men and women assigned to save humanity. Upon joining the Aquarian Foundation, as with most cults, a large financial donation had to be made. Following a trail of money, Brother 12 then set his sites on California, but after only a few weeks he had a vision telling him Nanaimo was the safest place for him to reside. In 1926, ‘Cedar By The Sea’ was established on a farm a few miles out of the town of Nanaimo. In the compound of Cedar By The Sea, Brother 12 began to what some would call brain washing the members of The Aquarian Foundation, rumors have been spread that Brother 12 had purchased a supply of microphones to spy on all the members of the foundation, and anyone caught speaking ill of their master Brother 12 was never heard from again. Religious type cerimonies where also held, in which brother 12 would gather all his followers out doors and would ‘speak to god’ which also included him having sex with multiple women. During the year of 1926, residents of Nanaimo and Cedar began to suspect the Foundation of being more than just a farm by the ocean. Attempts where made to exile Brother 12 from the land, and with his large bank account he took to buying up land on De Coursy Island, across the water from Cedar By The Sea. However at this time Brother 12 and The Aquarian Foundation began losing popularity within, falling from 200 members to just over 12. At this point Brother 12 fled back to his home land of England, where he purchased a ship entitled The Lady Royal and sailed it all the way across the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal and back up to De Courcy island. Upon returning and fearing arrest Brother 12 fled from De Courcy, withdrawing all the money from his vault in Nanaimo in golden bars and vanished. Many sightings where reported of his were-abouts, from Victoria to The Sunshine Coast. He later was found in Switzerland, suffering from heart conditions and later died at the age of 57. Brother 12 was succeeded by his mistress Amiel De Valdes who attempted to carry on the Foundation on Valdez Island. She later died in 1947. The whereabouts of the Brother 12 treasure have still yet to be discovered although many believe it to be hidden somewhere on De Courcy or Valdez Island.
