Ghost; 2024 Scottsdale Limited Edition Halloween Monster Series

in #inleo2 days ago

Gothic Style Stacking is back, set your Dapp back to dark mode where we venture back into the world for more of the Stacking paranormal. Here's the link to my previous related post.

“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven

To begin, Jerry Zucker’s 1990 Academy award winning film GHOST has seen plenty of spin time in my old DVD player over the years. It’s not your typical Horror movie but more a supernatural chick flick and has been one of my personal favorites in my video library. 😄

An adventure I would love to one day/night participate in is Ghost Hunting, that is, hunting with a camera to record on film/memory card the elusive full body apparition. While there are plenty of Ghost Walks and Haunted Tours about most major cities one may happen to come across a ghost or apparition but fewer go into active Ghost hunting on the dead quiet of the night without all the daytime distractions.

The Ghost Bar 👻

This bar showcases a ghostly figure, floating amidst swirling mist and eerie light, with a hauntingly beautiful expression that captures both mystery and melancholy. The soft blues and grays of the ghost’s form contrast strikingly against the .999 fine silver, creating a piece that is as haunting as it is captivating.

My Interest in a Ghost Hunting adventure.

I work plenty of years as a Night Shift nurse in various settings. I try to learn about a given unit’s previous history of clients and patients that passed away and I pay particular attention to any accounts or incidences of paranormal activity.

Armed with a smartphone camera, a reliable small Cree flashlight, and a sense of adventure I hope to experience a genuine paranormal encounter and have a photo to back that up.

So did I get any tangible results?

This cheerful design features a little ghost dressed up for a night of collecting candy, complete with a happy face and a bulging treat bag. Soft colors and friendly details capture the joyful spirit of Halloween, making it an adorable addition to any collection. Struck in .999 fine silver, this bar is all about celebrating the magic and sweetness of trick-or-treat time.

Yes and no.

I have heard voices that were not attributable to any of the patients under my care. I have heard footsteps in hallways and near my station yet all my patients are all paraplegic. I heard fluttering of a bird coming at me from one end of a hallway before stopping halfway. I hear a noise in one room so I go to investigate only to hear a noise in another or from the room I just vacated. It’s no wonder most of the girls don’t like the Night shift. And yes, I work alone for 6 of the 8 hour shift.

I had one patient of a low IQ carry into a conversation with someone in his room in the middle of the night. This was when I became familiar with ‘Charlie’ a late friend of my patient. There is a toy magic wand ‘Charlie’ enjoyed playing with. I found it in a box of toys in one of the Unit’s storage room. I regularly leave it on the desk in plain view most nights in hopes of drawing him out to play or talk. I never moved, at least while I was there. I think that these spirits are afraid of me.

After further inquiries of past patients I discovered that there were two additional late patients other than 'Charlie'.

Mind you, the Night shift is not all sitting around waiting for a patient to call or most often scream. Some house cleaning work is always necessary, paperwork and reports are kept up to date. Inventories and supplies are checked and orders issued. Then medications are double checked.

There was one paranormal manifestation in my old 1950s built home. When my eldest son was very young he kept seeing small dark forms scurrying about in our hallway floor in the glow of a night light between the bathroom and the kitchen outside his bedroom door if left open. It wasn't every night but I did check when I could but I never seeing any manifestation. Spirits of former pets that were in our household perhaps? All a part of the workings of the spirit world. Rational adults may not perceive these manifestations but for some reason only the minds of innocents can see them.

There's not much free time on my night shift routine and there is always a clipboard full of things that needed to be done. Any genuine activity are few and very far between. When something does occur its too late to record or taking a shot. Real ghost hunting may have to wait for a vacation or in my retirement years.

Until I can get into a real Ghost Hunt, I really doubt I could come across a genuine apparition unless I could make the time and energy to camp out at a known haunting or in my local cemetery with City Hall's permission.

If I'm lucky I will post the photo of a full body apparition here first on Hive, chances are, the ghost will not be the late Patrick Swayze.

Physical precious metals bullion stacking is only a part of my personal overall financial strategy. What form in physical bullion style is my choice since I have already achieved my target goal in this investment category. Please, do your research before deciding to buying any bullion products.

So the Debt clock guys are playing a little too loose with the figures. The ratio drops considerably but much more realistic. In the end, the fundamentals are still sound.

Nice grab. I won’t buy colorized coins or bars, but it is cool.
!pimp

Other than the Korean Won Junk, this will be the only other time I deliberately bought a ‘Painted’ silver in this series of cliché and gimmicky Halloween silver.
Yes, I admit Painted silver is a gimmick designed to pad Scottsdale’s bottom line.
Yes, it's marketing is aimed to the less experienced Stacker to fall into.
Yes, painting is not real minting.

Being a Goth I may be depressed and moody but I usually make the rational choice. Being my own financial planner I accept responsibility in wasting my hard earned cash in what may be Gothic gullibility or buying out of feelings of loss or grief, maybe both.

You know what? 😯 I think you hit it on the head.

Very cool ghost bar! I love it! I bet it's already sold out... The other silver bar is a beauty, Scottsdale makes so much cool stuff. My problem is there is so much cool stuff I want I never have to enough to buy them all! You made a couple of great buys, great job! I hope you are feeling much better!

I've been trying to get my blood sugar and chemistry back to working order, there’s still some issues I need to take care of.

At a mintage of 499 it would go fast but it may take a new form next year albeit likely at a higher spot price. I have to curb down my collecting but this series was whispering to me to buy the whole series in one order.

Nice quality painting, if it were dot matrix color printed like a few I won’t mention, I’d be really disappointed. I was expecting Scottsdale to have some better technique or precision in coin painting technology. There is usually some new feature and subtle. New obverse? A new leticulated border texture security design feature? I should check into this.

I hope you can get that stuff in check, I got some mild abnormalities on mine last week which I'll have to work on. Fortunately nothing critical!

Scottsdale does make nice stuff, and I would expect nothing but the best out of them.

Sitting down to some herbal tea, pushing the fluids.

The printing appear of good quality compared with others I have seen. One coin looked like it was done by a dot matrix printer. The only question I would have for Scottsdale is why have two different styles 8+4=12 of artwork?

Always a good idea to push fluids. I need to buy myself some chamomile to drink in the evenings. That printing is odd, you would think it should be uniform unless they are making something pixelated. Would give you some LADY back but as a guy I feel funny giving out LADY!

Love the silver sis! Very hauntingly lovely! Twilight is just foolin' with you to see if you're paying attention! He would never actually use that sword-right?🐈

I could tell you some stories.........

Have a hauntingly lovely evening sis! I do hope you get the opportunity to go on the hunt. I'd love to see what you find. Take care!🤗💜 !LADY !LUV

Twilight is a mystery wrapped in an enigma and difficult to understand his intentions and motives. I have my Chi readers, Burt and Jinjin keep close observations but not interfere with his actions.

JinjinandBurt600x454.jpg

Jinjin and Burt sense a certain quality and flow of Chi consistent with a lesser known subset of spirit mechanics but they can't put a finger on it yet. As long as he doesn't harm anyone I see no reason to restrain him unnecessarily so I will have to put up with his clandestine activities.

Thanks for coming aboard @elizabethbit ❤️😼

Hey there gorgeous, I frign love these. The little black shadows are typically 'brownies' in my experience. Better seen in waking sleep. !PIMP

Not the little girl guides that sell cookies or those chocolate desserts.
untitled.gif

Brownie as in Scottish folklore, So maybe that’s why we don’t see them anymore. We didn’t know that to keep them is to leave a dish of cream by the fireplace. I’ve only got Skim milk. I should send an apology to them via the Gnome fungi network to give us another chance.
Would they like chocolate?

You may as well keep it in the Halloween spirit.
For me Halloween for just one night is never enough. If I ever go to Europe I have to visit a few of the known haunts I learned about on YouTube. Maybe take in the riding tour to Dracula's castle too. Its my sense of adventure though many professional ghost hunters say it mostly boring time waiting for opportunities.

Beautiful ghost ,ideal for these dates, well that's what some people think.(HALLOWEEN)
Speaking of Halloween, I DON'T like this, I respect people but it is a very dangerous day for children, the next day there is a lot of bad news, they shouldn't celebrate this, what's more some people don't know the real story about it.
Take care of yourself

I appreciate your concern @lupega and I understand where you are coming from. I am aware of the origins of most practices around Halloween and other practices outside it too. I've have faced demons. I am a student of Theology and I plan to continue my practice in Apologetics in revealing the truth behind the darkness including the occult before the Light of the Cross.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. ~ Ephesians 6:10-13

Those are very nice !!! hehehee I only didn't buy it because I can't afford to buy everything that I think it is nice hehe but it is nice to see it in your collection!!

Thanks @gwajnberg
You're not missing much.
You would be better off with the cheaper Vortex or Classic Scottsdale bars and leave these to crazy stackers like me. You know I made up for that craziness by getting a few 10 Toz. Stacker bars.🎃
