Spike In Paranormal Activity Prompts ‘Hollywood Ghost Hunters’ to Seek New Haunted Locales for Inclusion in Potential TV Show

Hollywood Ghost Hunters

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 11, 2009

Hollywood Ghost Hunters, the pioneering group of horror film professionals that stalk the supernatural and take ghost hunting to a whole new level, announces they are currently accepting submissions from the owners of haunted locales for a possible visit and inclusion in their show.

With the recent spike in interest in all things related to the paranormal, ghosts and the afterlife, Hollywood Ghost Hunters (HGH) is looking to explore some new or previously undocumented locales and to capture them on film. Locations of interest would be those that are known to be haunted or feature some sort of unusual paranormal activity. If a location, once submitted, is accepted by HGH, it may be visited by the HGH. Submissions are now being accepted exclusively on their website http://www.HollywoodGhostHunters.com. Preference will be given to any locales that are located in Southern California but all others are encouraged to apply.

“We are thrilled with the renewed national interest in the paranormal and we would love to be able to find some new and undiscovered locations to visit and ghost hunt,” states Kane Hodder, co-founder of Hollywood Ghost Hunters. “We have found some truly amazing and exciting things on our hunts and we really want to be able to share the amazing things that we’ve found with people everywhere.”

Hollywood Ghost Hunters is led by co-founders Kane Hodder (‘Jason Voorhees’ in “Friday the 13th”) and Rick McCallum (‘Darkwolf’ in “Darkwolf”) and features some of most recognizable names in horror including R.A. Mihailoff (‘Leatherface’ in the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3”), Adam Green (writer/director of “Hatchet”) and Chris Carnel (‘The Miner’ in “Bloody Valentine 3D”). This group of Hollywood horror professionals visits some of the most haunted locations known to man and they stop at nothing until they have captured the evidence they need to prove or disprove a haunting.

“At the heart of Hollywood Ghost Hunters is the fact that everybody in the group is somehow related to filmmaking and or TV, and who better to delve into the truth and reality of ghosts, than people who create the illusion of the supernatural for a living,” remarks Richard Friedman, director and producer and HGH member. “We have actors who play famous movie creatures and killers, directors who conceive and execute the illusions, and special effects people who make the supernatural a cinematic visual reality. There is no team out there that is more qualified than us to prove or disprove the authenticity of the things that we see on a ghost hunt.”

Started by Kane Hodder and Rick McCallum, Hollywood Ghost Hunters has quickly become one of the foremost specialists in the field of ghost hunting. Using the latest equipment and technology available, HGH is not only a highly professional outfit, they are extremely entertaining to follow as well. Their ghost hunting adventures are typically fun and irreverent but usually just plain unpredictable. Recent travels to the Sloss Furnace in Birmingham, Alabama, the South Pittsburg Hospital in Tennessee and the David Oman house in Los Angeles (site of the Manson murders) are currently viewable on their website http://www.HollywoodGhostHunters.com.

For more information, to submit your locale or to set up an interview with Kane Hodder and Rick McCallum, contact Phillip Nakov at City PR – (818) 424-0743 – phillip(at)cityprinc(dot)com.

ACORN 8 – Modern Day Rosa Parks Seek Integrity and Reform

Little Rock, AR (PRWEB) July 15, 2009

It’s really ironic that the Arkansas Community Organizations for Reform Now, started with four little old ladies fighting for fairness and welfare rights in the 1970s. These neighborhood leaders hired Wade Rathke to help them organize their community to empower low and moderate income families in Little Rock. Nearly forty years later, three little old ladies — Karen Inman, Marcel Reid and Carol Hemmingway – have initiated a fight for fairness and integrity within that association itself.

“For decades, Little Rock, Arkansas was home to one of the most important community organizations in America. But supporters of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now – now ask their friends in this community, and across the nation, to temporarily boycott the group until its corruption can be cleansed and returned it to its promise of helping low- and moderate-income people. And not a small cabal of dishonest officials who have taken control,” states Michael McCray, National Spokesperson for ACORN 8, LLC (http://www.ACORN 8.com).

While not everyone has always approved of its confrontational tactics, many know some of the impressive results achieved for poor people over the years: Living wage laws to fight poverty. Partnerships with unions to assist workers. Housing programs to get Americans one step closer to the American dream. Those are real, tangible victories that improve all Americans lives.

“But equally real is the tarnish to the venerable group. An admitted embezzlement of nearly $ 1 million of money that should have been used to support low-income members and their campaigns for social and economic justice. And there’s the needless stain of accusations of voter fraud, voter registration fraud, unpaid taxes, mistreatment of employees,” continues McCray

The alleged embezzlement was reported in New York Times, on July 9, 2008, titled, “Funds Misappropriated at 2 Nonprofit Groups” by Stephanie Strom which disclosed that “ACORN chose to treat the embezzlement of nearly $ 1 million eight years ago as an internal matter and did not even notify its board.”

Marcel Reid and Karen Inman were summarily ‘removed’ from the association board in retaliation for requesting an audit following the admitted embezzlement. The board members who covered up the embezzlement remain on the association board; but the board members who sought to investigate the embezzlement were summarily ‘terminated’.

“Simply put, senior staff has tried to remove national board members for exercising their fiduciary obligations. Bullying and intimidation – that’s been the ACORN way,” continues McCray. However, the ACORN 8 submitted complaints to 15 District U.S. Attorneys, alleging the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now violated federal criminal law in expelling them from the group as reported by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, on January 7, 2009.

“And so a small cadre of ACORN leaders from across the nation have banded together to reclaim the venerable group; together we are known as the ACORN 8. Our reform movement, even in its infancy, consists of national, state and local board members, presidents or chairs. As such, we are leaders in our communities and within ACORN,” states Karen Inman, Co-founder ACORN 8

“We are typically loyal Democrats and we don’t understand why Democratic leaders have not rallied to help us. But regardless of political party affiliation, we all share a passion for helping the underserved and disenfranchised through direct community action,” states Marcel Reid, Chairman ACORN 8

Recently, Reid and Inman appeared on the Glenn Beck Show and called for a national boycott of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. These two courageous whistle-blowers are a pair of modern day Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman.

Rosa Parks dared to fight the power of southern society in Montgomery, Alabama and sparked the modern civil rights movement. While the ACORN 8 dares to fight one of the most powerful democratic organizations in the country. Harriet Tubman was a runaway slave who became known as the “Moses of her people”. Who at great personal risk led hundreds of slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad. “Likewise Reid and Inman are struggling to ‘free’ the low to moderate income members from the mental shackles of ACORN’s deceitful senior management,” continues McCray

Tubman is credited for freeing dozens of slaves, and was quoted in frustration as saying she could have freed hundreds more …. if they just realized they were slaves. “That is the problem with ACORN; the general membership and association board do not realize that they have become the pawns of senior management, or that they have the legal right to control their own association,” argues McCray.

“We have tried reason. We have tried polite legal efforts to see where our members’ money — as well as that from taxpayers and progressive foundations — has gone. But we have been blocked every step of the way, and faced with a campaign of ex-communication. If the stakes were lower, it would be easy to walk away, but we must fight for the soul of change,” continues Inman.

“In short, we are trying to correct the saddest of sadnesses, the living out of the proverb that corruption of the best becomes the worst. Without a strong progressive movement, there can be no social justice. Without a strong — and squeaky clean — ACORN, the progressive movement is hobbled. In other words, change must come to ACORN before it can come to America,” concludes Inman.

“So we are calling on our friends across America, to join us in a formal, and persuasive effort, to clean up this corruption. We formally demand an immediate suspension of all federal, state and local funding until after an independent audit and Congressional hearings on ACORN and its related entities. And that all members boycott and immediately cease paying their dues until after a forensic examination of ACORN and its related entities,” continues Reid.

“We are confident our cause is just and our mission is well on its way. We cannot win alone, though. We need federal authorities to investigate ACORN’s mismanagement and fraud … and we need your help,” concludes Reid.
