RAS #414 – Creepy Pictures

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time Jason and Ron head back to the Horror Express for a chat about Creepy Pictures, Past Lives, and Ghost Hunting. They answer your questions and Jason tells us about the night he spent in his Great Aunt’s 200-year-old manor house.

Show Note Links: Taken from life: The unsettling art of death photography and Jason’s Death Photography Photos.

The Horror Express with Jason Dowd – Art is a way of life for Jason. From an early age, he created various forms of artwork using various mediums, but none was as profound to him for his own work than photography. He finds inspiration wherever he goes because he keeps his eyes open for things that will make the perfect embellishment for a photo or looks for the story that inspires him to tell it to the world as only he can.

Jason’s Links: FaceBook, Twitter, Gladdy’s Goodies, AME Magazine, and Imagine-nation Art Studios.

Subject – Death Photos

The art of death photos can be traced back to the invention of the Camera in 1816. People wanted to have a keepsake of their loved ones. As creepy as it sounds taking pictures after death made sense to people and some of those photos are worth big dollars today. On the podcast this week Jason and Ron take a look at this practice and shed some light on why it was done. Also on the show, we cover your questions about ghost hunting and past lives.

RAS #413 – The Roosevelt Hotel

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we have three from you guys! One comes from the Roosevelt Hotel, we have Drama Class Drama, and those Black Eyed Kids are back. Add in a Cuckoo Bird who just might be a murderer, and we end the show with one of my favorite foods. So, grab a beverage and listen to this one.

Featured Story – Beyond The Door

Our featured story this week comes from the January 1954 issue of Fantastic Universe. Do you believe in the magic of the cuckoo clock? Many say that the clock has a life all its own. But, what if the cuckoo doesn’t like you? Beyond The Door is a short story by Philip K. Dick. The plot follows a cuckoo clock resident, which may or may not be intelligent.
