Get Rid of that Not-So Special Someone on Valentine’s Day

Before anyone gets the wrong idea from the title, we’re talking break-up getting rid of – not murder! Now that we have that cleared up, let’s get to it.

This is Star7. Jen didn’t learn her lesson from last time so I’m back again this time to offer you ways to get rid of that not-so special someone. What better way to do that than on Valentines Day? I don’t know about you, but I have plenty of not so great memories of the holiday.

Here is a list of things you can say to the thorn in your side so they are no longer: Read more »

My Paranormal Experience on New Website

Happy Monday, dark passengers. Since we’ve been camped out on Serial Killer Mountain for a while, I thought I’d point you in the direction of the post I wrote on a new paranormal website I’m part of. Don’t worry, I’m still covering paranormal phenomena here, but I’m writing with two other talented writers, so you may enjoy a new perspective.

A few days ago, I had an odd experience in the middle of the night. Was it paranormal? Was it an overactive imagination? That’s up to you to decide. You can read all about my strange experiences on the new website.

Teenagers are Like Serial Killers

Well, I’m back again, dark passengers and surprise surprise, I’ve got another song with lyrics that make me think about serial killers. If I’m honest, I found this one last night when I was writing Somewhere a Clock is Killing, but I wanted to focus on one brand of serial killer music at a time.

And tonight, we’ve got the teenage serial killer.

Okay…sort of. Here’s the thing, if you listen to ‘Tear You Apart’ by She Wants Revenge, you’ll notice two things about it: Read more »

Somewhere a Clock is Killing

Happy Wednesday, dark passengers! Over the last few days, I’ve been listening to a ton of music because I have a day job editing right now. (I know, you’d never know it from the condition of my posts here…) One song on my work playlist has a haunting melody, but I’d never really paid much attention to the lyrics…until last night, that is.

I have to say, I might be a touch disturbed by it. Not because the lyrics are so much worse than anything else out there, but because the lyrics echoed the sentiments of a serial killer.

At least, that’s how it sounds to me.

The song in question is “Somewhere a Clock is Ticking” by Snow Patrol. Here are some of the lines that have me thinking serial killer, even when I didn’t have Dexter and Criminal Minds on the brain: Read more »

Dark and Unusual Names

Good evening Dark Passengers! This is Star7. Jen has been insane awesome enough to allow me to post on her site.

Tonight we are taking a look at names. These are examples of darker and more unusual names. The idea for this article came to me when I was searching for a cool name for my new rabbit. I didn’t want her to be another Fluffy or Hoppy.

Choosing a less common name is a fun and safe way to let your dark passenger out to play! Why have another Spot or Rover when you can have a Butcher, Psycho, or Hellion! Read more »

Ghost in My Machine

Happy 13th, dark passengers. Yesterday, I mentioned that strange things have been happening to me recently. Today, I’d like to share one of those strange happenings from over the weekend.

To understand it, I think we first have to get into the concept of a ghost in the machine. There are different interpretations of this concept, but for argument’s sake, we’ll use the first one I learned about. Basically, it’s theorized that a ghost in the machine is random bits of coding that form sentient anomalies. Sort of like artificial intelligence, I suppose.

But what if there actually were a ghost in the machine?

I’m not saying that’s the case, but let me fill you in… Read more »

Manifesting Your Dreams

Hey, dark passengers. By now, I think everyone on the planet is familiar with the Law of Attraction – or at least, they’ve heard of it. Even if you don’t believe that your consciousness has any bearing on the events of your life, I feel I must ask: How can it hurt to try manifesting your dreams?

Considering that the Laws of Attraction have been buzz words for years now, it might seem odd for me to choose now to discuss this topic. In fact, you probably think it’s more of my randomness that means little. It’s not.

Last week, I received an email from local psychic medium Cindy Ross. This in and of itself is nothing new because I get her newsletter on a weekly basis to let me know what’s going on in the classes she offers. What got me thinking specifically about the Law of Attraction is something she wrote about the solar eclipse we’ll experience on January 15, 2010. Read more »

Defining the Serial Killer

At times, the media jumps the gun and pronounces murders to be the work of a serial killer because of the shock value and ratings it produces. While a string of similar murders may, in fact, be the handiwork of a serial killer, it is important to understand what a true serial killer is – and is not – before assigning this label. It may never be possible to understand what differentiates serial killers from normal people, why certain people feel driven to kill in the face of the triggers faced each day by the rest of society, but defining the characteristics of a serial killer makes it easier to determine when a crime falls into this category.

Essentially, serial killers are defined by their methods, motivations and marks. Read more »
