As some of you know, I’ve been blogging about the rather odd and spooky office happenings that have been going down where I work on THE SECRET CIRCLE.
We have a possessed printer, writers are showing up wearing the same outfits, and there’s something or someone who keeps turning on all of the lights and computers at night, after we’re all long gone and have already turned them off.
It has all gotten me a little concerned and, to be honest, nervous.
Not to mention the fact that the folks who run the Twitter for @SecretCircleTV brought it to my attention that during the filming of the movie “The Craft” they had similar freakish happenings: “I’m guessing the show might be cursed. Weird stuff also happened during filming of The Craft… Those computers are just the beginning. During The Craft couple crew members died, equipment inexplicably turned on or off etc”
I found this article to back that claim up:
- About the invocation scene, Sony Pictures’ World Wide Web site at the time the film was featured on its website has to say: “The crew had to return to the location a second time to complete filming interrupted by several weird occurrences that even caused witch consultant Pat Devin to raise an eyebrow. As the fog rolled in at midnight, the four actresses used actual Wiccan rites and language to invoke powerful forces. Then, as Fairuza Balk’s character Nancy attempts to invoke the deity Manon, a flock of bats hovered over the set and the tide rose dramatically, extinguishing the circle of candles. Witchcraft consultant Devin recalls that ‘Manon, a fictitious creation for the film, sounds very close to Mananan, the Gaelic god of the sea. Luckily, we weren’t all swept to sea!’” The Web site quotes director Andrew Fleming: “‘Every time the girls started the ceremony, and only when they would start the ceremony, the waves would start coming up tremendously fast, pounding heavily. Then, right when Nancy says her line, “Manon, fill me,” right at that exact moment, we lost power. It was a very strange thing.’”
Okay, so maybe we’re cursed!
I’m not sure what to do. Maybe it’s something we should worry about later if anything else happens, but I am going to keep a lookout for any more witchy weirdness.
