The person of the day...Glenn Ford
Gwyllyn Samuel Newton "Glenn" Ford (May 1, 1916 – August 30, 2006) was a Canadian-born American actor from Hollywood's Golden Era with a career that spanned seven decades. Ford was a versatile actor best known for playing either cowboys or ordinary men in unusual circumstances.
Ford's career flourished in the 1950s and into the 1960s, and continued into the early 1990s, with an increasing number of television roles. His major roles in thrillers, dramas and action films include A Stolen Life with Bette Davis, The Secret of Convict Lake with Gene Tierney, The Big Heat, Framed, Blackboard Jungle, Interrupted Melody with Eleanor Parker, Experiment in Terror with Lee Remick, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Ransom!, Superman and westerns such as The Fastest Gun Alive, 3:10 to Yuma and Cimarron.

The flower for Friday...Bluebell
The Common Bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta, syn. Endymion non-scriptus, Scilla non-scripta) is a spring-flowering bulbous perennial plant.
The Common Bluebell flowers in April and May. The stems are 10-30 cm long and bend over at the top. The lavender-blue flowers are pendulous, bell-shaped and slightly fragrant. The anthers are yellowish-white.

In spring, many European woods are covered by dense carpets of this flower; these are commonly referred to as "bluebell woods". The bluebell that is the national flower of Scotland is not this species, but another unrelated plant Campanula rotundifolia also known as a Harebell.

"Oh where, tell me where is your highland laddie gone?
Oh where, tell me where is your highland laddie gone?
He's gone with streaming banners where noble deeds are done
And it's oh! in my heart I wish him safe at home.
Oh where, tell me where did your highland laddie dwell?
Oh where, tell me where did your highland laddie dwell?
He dwelt in bonnie Scotland where bloom the sweet bluebells
And it's oh! in my heart I rue my laddie well.

Oh what, tell me what if your highland lad be slain?
Oh what, tell me what if your highland lad be slain?
Oh no, true love will be his guide and bring him safe again
For it's oh! my heart would break if my highland lad were slain."

Be prepared for a ghost story....

"In the autumn of 1992 three separate motorists reported knocking down a figure that ran into the path of their vehicle late at night on Blue Bell Hill, Kent (UK). In the two most dramatic encounters, the figure of a young woman had stared calmly into the eyes of the driver as his vehicle struck her. Subsequent police investigations not only failed to find a victim, but no evidence that an accident had occurred, prompting their conclusion that these motorists had probably encountered the famed Ghost of Blue Bell Hill.

The sightings, which - unbelievably - were to continue in the forthcoming months, and to take an even more bizarre twist - sparked a wave of press interest, which quickly spread first to the national, and then the international stage. Today - eight years later - the case continues to attract the interest of various media parties.

To date, the Ghost of Blue Bell Hill has been the subject of or found mention in some 200 newspaper, magazine, CD-ROM, and book publications; it has been featured on a number of television programmes devoted to the paranormal, and has served as the inspiration for at least one novel, a music track, and an audio dramatization. And finally, of course, it now features on the World Wide Web. 

In all, Blue Bell Hill’s ghost has come a long way from the seemingly apocryphal tale of local renown set in motion in the late 1960s, and its humble beginnings in print, to stand today - with over two dozen named-witnessed sightings, as an important modern example of haunting, and arguably the foremost case of its kind in the world today."

Wow.  I wonder how one explains to their insurance company that they wreaked their car because of a ghost?  Kind of weird that she would just walk out in front of cars.  If she's doing that it would suggest that it's how she died and she's repeating the action.

That hill in the past has always been known to be haunted, I grew up with the ghostly tales from there.

We have a legend (or myth) about 30 miles from us.
The Valentown is a shopping center started back in 1879, when a railroad was supposed to be built alongside it. When funds fell through, the project was abandoned, and it is now a museum. Many believe the Valentown is haunted, and even the Sci-Fi Channel did an episode of Ghost Hunters here.
Ghostly apparitions have been spotted, mysterious footsteps walk the halls, things move on their own. You can find out for yourself by going on a ghost tour. The museum is unheated, so you have to wait until the weather is a little warmer. Tourists are invited to bring their own recording equipment to verify their findings.

Pluckley (in Kent)
A number of haunting's have been reported in the village of Pluckley. The village has a reputation as the most haunted in England, so it is perhaps not surprising that it also has a phantom hitchhiker. Raymond Breakspear a local Taxi-driver, was flagged down by a figure at the side of the road at about 3am one morning. The figure then got into the back seat. Breakspear then turned to ask the man where he would like to go, he was surprised to find no one there.

Pluckley is said to be the most haunted village in Britain. It is reputed to have twelve (possibly thirteen or fourteen) ghosts. These are:


The spectre of the highwayman Robert Du Bois speared to a tree at Fright Corner (Even though the tree is now gone);
A phantom coach and horses, apparently manifesting the vicinity of Maltman's Hill;
The ghost of a Gypsy woman who burned to death in her sleep;
The black ghost of a miller haunting the ruins of a windmill near "The Pinnocks";
The hanging body of a schoolmaster in Dicky Buss's Lane;
A colonel who hanged himself in Park Wood;
The screaming ghost of a man being smothered by a wall of clay at the brickworks;
The Lady of Rose Court, who is said to have eaten poisoned berries in despair over a love triangle;
The Phantom Monk of "Greystones", a house built in 1863. There is a suggestion he may have been the unrequited love object of the Lady of Rose Court;
The White Lady of Dering, a young woman apparently buried inside 7 coffins and an oak sarcophagus who haunts the chuchyard of St. Nicholas's Church;
The Red Lady, reputedly an earlier member of the same ancient Dering family who also haunts St Nicholas'. The legend of the Red and White Ladies seem to overlap. A third ghost has apparently also been reported in the same place.
The Screaming Woods, an area of forest outside of town supposedly haunted by the ghosts of many who became lost in the woods. It was given its name because you can supposedly still hear their screams from inside the forest at night.

I LOVE Ghost Hunters.

His films include Oliver!, Women in Love, Hannibal Brooks, The Triple Echo, The Devils, The Three Musketeers, Tommy, Castaway, Lion of the Desert and Gladiator.
Reed was famous for his excessive drinking, which fit in with the "social" attitude of many rugby teams in the 1960s and 1970s, and there are numerous anecdotes such as Reed and 36 friends drinking, in an evening, 60 gallons of beer, 32 bottles of Scotch, 17 bottles of gin, four crates of wine and one bottle of Babycham. He subsequently revised the story, claiming he drank 106 pints of beer on a 2-day binge before marrying Josephine; "The event that was reported actually took place during an arm-wrestling competition in Guernsey about 15 years ago, it was highly exaggerated." Steve McQueen told the story that in 1973 he had flown to the UK to discuss a film project with Reed and suggested the pair go to a nightclub in London. This led to a marathon pub crawl during which Reed threw up on McQueen. Reed's face had been carved up ten years previously during a 1963 bar fight after which he received 63 stitches and was in danger of having his film career cut short in his 20s.

Reed was often irritated that his appearances on TV chat shows concentrated on his drinking feats, rather than his latest film. David Letterman cut to a commercial when it appeared Reed might get violent after being asked too many questions about his drinking. He was held partly responsible for the demise of BBC1's Sin On Saturday after some typically forthright comments on the subject of lust, the sin featured on the first programme. The show had many other problems and a fellow guest revealed that Reed recognised this when he arrived and had to be virtually dragged in front of the cameras. Near the end of his life he was brought onto some TV shows specifically for his drinking; for example The Word put bottles of drink in his dressing room so he could be secretly filmed getting drunk. He was forced to leave the set of the Channel 4 television discussion programme After Dark after arriving drunk and attempting to kiss feminist writer Kate Millett, uttering the memorable phrase "give us a kiss, big tits". He was seemingly very drunk on the Michael Aspel chat show, to many highly entertaining, to others a waste of a great acting talent. However, author Cliff Goodwin, in his biography of Reed titled Evil Spirits, offers the theory that Reed was not always as drunk on chat shows as he appeared to be, but rather was acting the part of an uncontrollably sodden former star to liven things up, at the producers' behests.

Over the last few years, it now seems that all the seasons are now rolled into one.

The person of the day...Frankie Valli
Frankie Valli (born Francesco Stephen Castelluccio, May 3, 1934 First Ward, Newark, New Jersey) is an American musician, most famous as frontman of The Four Seasons.

Valli, along with Tommy DeVito, Nick Massi, and Bob Gaudio, the original members of The Four Seasons, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999.

Valli scored 29 Top 40 hits with The 4 Seasons, one Top 40 hit under The 4 Seasons alias of 'The Wonder Who?' and nine Top 40 hits as a solo artist. As a member of The 4 Seasons, Valli scored number one hits with "Sherry", "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Walk Like a Man", "Rag Doll" and "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)". As a solo artist, Valli scored number one hits with "My Eyes Adored You" and "Grease". His best known solo recording, though, is "Can't Take My Eyes off You", which reached number two in 1967. "You're Ready Now", a Valli solo recording from 1966, became a surprise hit in England, as part of the Northern soul scene and hit number 11 on the British pop charts in December, 1970.
