Don't miss out on these awesome gta 5 mods

Grand Theft Auto V is arguably the greatest and most-sophisticated online game there has ever been. A vast assortment of weapons, incredible combat, and the infamous Heist missions. Who thought a game like this could possibly be improved? Well numerous creative, intelligent (and maybe a little kinky) people have found so many ways to add to and innovate the game. Here are the best ones that you need to download right now!

WARNING: Explicit Content Ahead.

Girls

1. New Beach Girl:

The mod in action 

My favourite character is Michael, but watching a fat old guy run around shooting cops gets a little… ‘Samey’ after a while. To solve that problem, why not introduce this mod, which lets you play as a variety of sexy ladies instead. Swap that sweaty man for a hot, younger lady with an attitude problem with this Mod.

Does this really take a lot of convincing? I mean, if watching a drunkard psychopath do his thing is what you like, you carry on. Me? I might mix it up a little.

3.     Baywatch Girls

This mod allows you to upload a whole host of female NPC’s into the game, to really make the beaches of Los Santos come alive with jiggling action.

If you’re a fan of superficial, attractive (in a video-game kind of way) looking NPC’s on a beach, inspired by the timeless Baywatch American T.V Programme, then you need this download.

4.     New Strippers V2

We’ve all been there. Of course in the infamous GTA series, strip clubs are part of its bread-and-butter. It’s part of what we love in these games. Though, as there’s only one strip club to visit, the… ‘professionals’ who work there can get a little tiresome. This mod adds more skins and outfits to keep your private needs fresh.

Let’s be honest here, we could all do with a little diversity in our gentleman’s club. This is the way to get it.

5.     New Swimsuit Pack V2

Sometimes, you need a new set of swimsuits for the plentiful female characters in GTA. And, a new wet look. Happily, that’s exactly what this Mod provides- Swimsuit textures and wet-look textures for added sexuality and scandalous behaviour.

It’s the little touches that really contribute to the game, and so it’ definitely worth adding this to the arsenal of mods.

6.     Tracy-De-Santa Dragon Tattoo

Ever looked at Tracy, and decided that what she needs is a bit of character that isn’t just irritating? Something to actually look at when performing on Fame or Shame? Well, luckily if you need this spiced up, some generous folk have met your needs.

I know that her unforgivably  irritating personality needs some work, but I guess for the meantime settling for something a little more interesting to actually look at during the painful cut-scenes is a good start.

7.     Improved Female LSPD

Takes a bit of playing and getting used to the game to understand this one. Generally if I see a police officer, I’m shooting them in the face, or landing a tank on their heads. I never really stop and pause a minute to have a look at the individual character textures, but luckily not everyone is like me. With this mod, the female police officers’ uniform gets an update to be a little more congruent with the males’.

Fancy a nice little touch to add to the experience? This is an excellent way to do so.

8.     Misty Model

Ah an old favourite making a return. Misty was a female character from GTA III, and a fan favourite. She’s finally made her reappearance in GTA V with this mod, as you can download and install the file, and she’s a character available to have wandering about as an NPC, or play as her in Freemode.

Have you missed Misty? (Nice little bit of alliteration there, you’re welcome) If so, worry not, the download is right below!

9.     Lara Croft Bikini Model

We all adore the Tomb Raider games. Lara Croft is a hero I grew up with, and have known her the majority of my life. That makes me a little uncomfortable with this mod, but I understand that I am the minority. This mod lets you live out your fantasies about this wonderful character and see much more of Lara than you would normally.

If you have always had a little crush (or big, no judgement here) on Lara, then maybe you should consider adding this to your GTA V experience

10.     New Improved Topless girl

The human imagination is an excellent thing. The ability to create images in our own minds’ eye has been said to be the most powerful tool we possess- and those images can become even more real than your actual senses. But if you don’t buy into that, here’s a mod to see boobies.

If you need boobs and can’t rely on your own mind’s eye to do it credit, then this is the solution.

11.     New Hookers

We’ve all done it. Gone downtown in Los Santos and picked up a hooker, because if you don’t do it at least once, have you really played GTA? The skins in the game are just about as you’d expect of low-class prostitutes, though there’s the issue of it becoming repetitive. This mod adds a load of new skins to enjoy at your discretion.

If you have exhausted all the options for hooking, then here’s a quick and easy adjustment.

12.Better Hookers

Many people don’t actually like the options for the current hookers. Thinking they’re unattractive, there’s a demand for something new. This mod meets those demands, and includes 3 new models for the hookers.

If you fancy a change for your naughty behaviours, then consider adding this to your arsenal.

Weapons

One of the greatest parts of GTAV is the weapon options available. Fancy taking people out subtly? Here’s a sniper rifle. Need a more personal touch to your murder, like a serial killer? Then here’s an antique knife, paired with a jerry can to ‘dispose’ of the body. GTA is really a wonderful series like that. These mods add improvements to the weapons available, additionally creating some new ones- because there’s only so many times you can fire an RPG into a police officer before it’s just not fun anymore.

1.     Refined Weapons and Gunplay

Okay so GTAV is not a realistic representation of being IRL. You can carry lots of spare ammo, weapon sway isn’t really a thing, and the cops have no strategy to their actions. This mod excellently fixes some of these issues, and really adds to the overall gameplay, bettering AI and gun usage.

In action: 

You need this if you’re looking for slightly more realistic fun, and generally a better running combat experience. Hand-to-Hand combat is faster and does less damage; some pedestrians won’t call the police at the first sign of conflict, and many of the player’s stances have been changed with certain weapons. What’s not to love?

2.     Gun Sounds Overhaul

This one definitely adds to the GTA experience. The gun sounds that came with the game are definitely okay, and sound like guns to me, but that was until I heard the updated ones in this mod. Based from real Russian guns, the weapons sound much more realistic and genuine with this update, and it only gives to the fun of the game.

In action:

If you’re stuck on ideas of how to update your GTAV experience, this is definitely one to consider downloading right now.

3.     Ultimate Battlefield Weapons pack

I am a fan of the Battlefield games. The weaponry is fantastic and well created, and I would love them to be added to GTA V. Wait, that’s exactly what this mod was designed to do. A whole range of Carbines, Assualt Rifles, PDW’s and more await you to be utilised at a moment’s notice when robbing banks.

In action:

Loved Battlefield? Love GTA V? Combine them, create something absolutely awesome.

4.     Ripplers Realism

Recoil. It practically doesn’t exist in GTA V to be honest. You can shoot the biggest guns and not even really notice you’re doing it. That genuinely bugs me, because then when I go and play any other shooter game, I get absolutely screwed over when I have to deal with the recoil again. So to solve said problem, this mod gives proper recoil to weapons. It further adds updates reloading features and helps prevent the ‘slow-motion’ looking movement of guns.

In action:

As the screenshot shows you, there are a multitude of things that the update does as well as adjusting recoil. Ripplers Realism is an excellent way to improve upon this legendary game.

5.     Alternative Weapons

My favourite part of the GTA V combat is the melee combat. There’s just something satisfyingly psychotic about beating a police officer’s head in with a golf club that I can help feel a little happy about inside. (Maybe I play too much…) This mod adds more melee weapons to choose from, so the hand-too-hand combat feels much more diverse and intuitive.

In action: 

Scimitars, katanas. Guitars… You name it, this mod adds it. It’s absolutely brutal and very much in the spirit of GTA, and I’d highly recommend it.

Cars

Grand Theft Auto- clue’s in the title that cars have to be involved somewhere, and damn are they the coolest cars ever? Sports cars that go far too quickly for me to handle; the sleekness of the classics, the dull ass Sedans… They’re all based off of real life brands of cars, and they’re adored by the community. No wonder that so many people have created modifiers for them- people need the cars to be perfect. Here are some ways to help achieve that goal.

1.     Nissan GTR

Forza Horizon 2 had a ridiculous range of cars to choose from, and it was only a matter of time before the GTA community incorporated them into their games. Thus, this mod allows you to do just that, with all the features of the stock cars for the game. Smashable wind-shields, hands on the steering wheel and a working speedometer are all part of the mod.

In action: 

Gorgeous cars. You need this in your life. Download the Mod here: DOWNLOAD

2.     2014 McLaren P1

This mod installs and retextures the infamous super-car. It’s phenomenal handling and beautiful design, this is a necessity for you car lovers out there.

Here’s a true classic. Used in all forms of motor racing, including rallying, the ford Mustang is iconic of excellent engineering. This mod allows you to use the car, and modify it with new colours and designs to make it the coolest it could possibly be.

Ultra-powerful. Swish design. Impeccable control. The three pillars of high quality in a car. The Lykan gives all that, and there is a range of customisations available, and the mod is being updated constantly to improve upon the little bugs there inevitably are.

12.Ferrari Italia 458

The incredible detail in this mod is actually kinda scary. Being based off real life, the sounds it makes, the interior, the body work, it’s all inspired by the creators of the Italia, so gorgeous is a pre-requisite.

A look: 

I need this. You need this. Let’s skip the chat and hit the download button.

13.Ferrari laFerrari

Okay so genuinely when I saw the screenshot of this mod, I thought I was looking at the real deal. And that’s not even exaggerated for effect, that’s an actual account. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Beautiful. Perfect. There aren’t enough adjectives to accurately describe it- but luckily a picture is worth a thousand words, so I hear.

Uncanny, right? I can’t get enough of this, and now, neither can you:

Maps

The Los Santos map is of course a satirical version of Los Angeles, with their superficial life-styles, hilarious radio adverts and naughty lifestyle. However, Los Santos was not the first map in the GTA series, and people have found their ways it improve it. Here are some of the best.

1.     Vice City HD

This mod installs the old fan favourite map of Vice City and updates to keep up with the quality that Los Santos enjoys. Absolutely perfect, and is being updated regularly to cover up the minor bugs that are always, understandably going to be present in the modded content.

In action: 

Everyone who played Vice City loved it, and I can’t wait to see where this mod is taken- can we see a full merge of GTA VC and GTAV?

2.     Mega Ramp

This is fairly self-explanatory to be honest. It’s literally a monstrously sized ramp for all your stunting needs. And by “mega” they are not at all exaggerating. Here’s the ramp:

See? Who doesn’t need this? That’s incredible and I want it I want it I want it!

3.     Map Heist In Single Player

No word of a lie, I suck at the heists. It’s usually my fault if we fail them as a team online, and it often takes me about a hundred goes to complete them in single player. If only there was a way to have a practise at it first, learn the map, become accustomed to it, so I don’t have to hear the repetitive cut scenes any more than once.  This mod supplies me with exactly that.

A look: 

This is ideal for noobs like me who need a quick practise run through.

4.     GTAV world Improvements

Los Santos is gorgeous, busy, full and exiting. But after a while and a couple of play throughs, you feel as though you’ve done it all, seen everything and experienced it all. Would it not be excellent then, if you could have an update to the world? Well look no further than the bottom of this section. New police scenarios, environment updates, fruit markets and more, this addition to the game is wholly worthwhile. I mean, who doesn’t like fruit markets?

A look: 

This is certainly one for the downloads folder.

5.     Raven Rock Military Island

This update adds a whole load military base on a new island in the East, and is equipped with Planes, helicopters, tanks and more. Also, there’s a secret hidden in the deep underwater. Exciting stuff right? Knowing how kinky the community seem to be, there’s probably a whole host of naked ladies under there.

A look: 

Everyone loves exploring new places, and here you could even steal a plane, so let’s be honest it’s worth the challenge.

6.     Straight Down Ramp

Well you’re not going to get a prize for guessing what this cleverly named mod gives you. If your guess was “A ramp that goes straight down” then congratulations on your reading skills. (your mum must be proud) Use this for some absolutely incredible speed, and try not to crash into a building immediately.

Player

What’s last on our list to mod? So let’s recap: Girls, check. Weapons, check. Cars, check. Map, check. Aha that leaves us with the obvious one- the player. Here are a list of mods that you absolutely must look at for your GTAV experience as the playable character.

1.     GTA V FoV Mod

Most games let you adjust the field of view within certain parameters anyway, but being a PC user, then you may have trouble getting it quite right. This mod gives you the freedom to adjust it to whatever you like. Very helpful for those of you with multiple screens to watch at the same time.

A look:

Need to make some finer touches to your experience? Then this is the one for you.

2.     Niko Bellic

Raise your hands if you played and loved GTA IV. Yeah? If you raised them then you’re a certain kind of special person- I can’t see you.  Anyway, this mod reintroduces the old character from GTA IV who everyone loved. Here’s a look:

This is great news, and as a GTA veteran myself, I’m super excited about this.

3.     Michael Trevor Franklin new Hairstyles, Tattoos and Other

We can all admit that as much as we may love our playable characters, they can get a little bland. Despite the ridiculous amount of options available for customization in the stock version of the game. This mod however, adds to this list, but makes them look amazing and genuinely intimidating.

A look:

I don’t know about you, but I think they genuinely look like gangstas now, and I’m kinda terrified, and need this in my life.

4.     HD Tattoos

The more tattoo options, the happier I am. This is exactly what this mod does. Sometimes, the ones available just don’t quite cut it, so now you’ve got even more to choose from to make Franklin and Trevor look as psychotic as possible. ( I mean , you could use them on Michael too but he just doesn’t suit them unless his stock look is radically changed, in my not-so professional opinion)

A look:

Image

See what I mean? Seems… Odd.

The other’s look great though, so if you think that Trevor and Frank could use a wardrobe change ( or skin change I guess) then this could well be for you.

5.     Added Detectives

So just like other mods here, this is an addition to the game, rather than swapping one feature out for another. It gives you detectives as a class of police, who will work hard to follow you and catch you out doing illegal activities, and generally make your life hell. But if you’re looking for diversity and fun, this is how to do it, by actually giving the police a chance for a change.

A look:

More police classes in my opinion is a great aspect to include, and personally will be downloading it ASAP.

6.     Revised Sheriffs Deputies

Intended initially as a standalone mod in Blaine County, the developer of the mod has not been successful in doing so, and thus settled for a straightforward addition to the police force. Both Male and Female deputy sheriffs were incorporated, and the designs of facial features and clothing are choices given to you.

A look:

Adding new dynamics to GTAV is always a good thing, so this is yet another way the community have managed to evolve the game into something much better than before. Download the Mod Here: DOWNLOAD

So there you have it. The best GTA V mods available to date. There are hundreds of them out there, so always be on the lookout for the next best thing to incorporate into your gaming experience. Do be careful however, as using Mod’s online can result in an instant ban- this has been your warning!

As always, comment below- let’s get a discussion going, help each other out and generally have fun!

Skeptics question the existence of the ghosts, hauntings and the paranormal. Perhaps science does have an explanation for everything, and maybe ‘it’s all in the mind’, but the numerous claims and sightings of the paranormal by people cannot be brushed aside, besides, religion says if there is God, then there must be evil. Stories of haunted houses, the sightings of ghosts, the stench of rotting meat, objects levitating, noises and screams and sometimes just that feeling of being watched over by someone or something are sure to send chills down the spines, even for the nonbelievers. Here is a look at the list of 13 most haunted houses in America.13. 14th West 10th street, NYC’s House of DeathThis classic brownstone was constructed in the 19th century and is believed to be haunted by the 22 people who have died in the house. Located in New York City, this famous home is supposedly haunted by the most famous ghost of them all, Mark Twain, who briefly resided there. In the 1930s, a mother and daughter claimed to have encountered the author sitting near a window where he stated, “My name is Clemens and I has a problem here I gotta settle.” He disappeared moments later. There have also been apparitions of a lady in white, a young child, and a gray cat. This brownstone has an eerie rep for another reason: It’s where Joel Steinberg beat his six-year-old daughter Lisa to death in a second-floor apartment in 1987—one of the most shocking murders in the city’s history.12. Kreischer MansionLocated at Staten Isand, the Kreischer mansion is a large Victorian style mansion built by Balthasar Kreischer, who ran a successful brick business. He built two mansions beside each other for his 2 sons. However things went bad for the family, Kreischer died a year after the mansions were complete, and this was followed by the brick factory burning to the ground. Bad luck followed again when one of his sons committed suicide in the mansion that stands today. In 1998, Isaac Yomtovian bought the mansion with plans to renovate it and sell, but in 2008 the caretaker Joe Black was believed to be a hit man and was convicted of murder when he killed a man, dismembered the body and burned the remain in the basement furnace. There have been reports of paranormal activity in the house and one claim of an eerie ghost like figure peering out through the windows has been reported on occasions.11. Franklin CastleConsidered by many to be one of the most haunted houses in Ohio, Franklin castle has its share of stories, being built in 1881, at one point it was considered to be a Nazi compound conducting secret spy meetings. But the house had its dubious distinction as cursed from the time it was built, when the owner Tiedemann’s mother and daughter died within weeks of each other. When Teidemann’s wife passed away, it was attributed to the curse of the castle. The Death of Teidemann in 1908 left the no one to inherit the castle and his personal wealth. There were reporting’s of the house being used by the German Socialist party for conducting their Nazi meetings, but the house was mostly abandoned until 1968. Come 1968, the Romano family moves in, and almost immediately after start experiencing strange events.  The children would speak to their “new friend”, even ask for extra cookies for their “friend”. They would hear organ music from various parts of the house. The presence of Mrs Teidemann could be felt in the house by Mrs Romano, until 1974, when they decided to move out of the castle house. Ownership of the house changed hands over many years and today the castle stands waiting for brave souls to take shelter.10. S.K Pierce MansionLocated in Gardner, Massachusetts, entering this haunted house requires one to sign a waiver, because it is claimed that the spirits in the mansion can impose their will on the guests. This mansion was once a master piece of its time and was owned by wealthy businessman Sylvester Pierce. This palatial mansion has a guest list that includes President Calvin Coolidge, PT Barnum and was a well-known meeting place for the Freemason Society. Pierce’s wife passed away weeks after moving into the mansion. In 1888, Pierce passed away, and the estate was left to his youngest son Edward who then converted the mansion into a boarding home, and the once sprawling mansion became a haven for gamblers, prostitutes and drunks. Many murders were claimed to have taken place in the mansion. There were clams of a case of spontaneous combustion, when a Finnish traveller burned to death in the master bedroom, as there was very little damage to the surrounding parts of the room and only restricted itself to the bed. There is also a claim of a prostitute being strangled in the famous red bedroom. Guests have experienced objects moving, doors banging, footsteps climbing up and down stairs, some have felt the chill of a hand trying to exert pressure on them and push them down stairs and out of the third floor window. There have been apparitions of a woman and a boy in white clothes. It is also said that Edward has been seen wandering about the mansion, and voices shouting his name can be heard by many on some nights. Paranormal experts claim that these are the highest forms of paranormal entities witnessed, with ability to move large objects and impose their will on the guests.                                                                                                           09. Robinson Rose HouseBuilt in 1853, by then Lawyer James Robinson who then moved up his career to become a judge, this two story home is located in San Diego, California. Story goes that Judge Robinson was legally married to Edith Isdell and they had 3 children, whom he abandoned and left in financial crisis. He ran away and married an 18 year old Sarah, and on his death, left his all his estate to her, even leaving out his first family.In 1857, Sarah sold the hose to Louis Rose and in 1874 a fire burned the roof and soon after the house fell into ruins. Other abodes did come up over the foundation of the ruins from Robinsons original home, however there is no explanation of who is presently haunting the house. Perhaps it is the spirits of the various others who built over the foundation or maybe James and Sarah have taken shelter in their old home, only time will tell. There have been reports of entities who like to play with electricity, because lights are seen to go on and off and then there are the occasions of the empty elevator moving up and down. Footsteps can be heard of a large man moving and up and down the stairs. A playful figure has manifested itself tugging on the hair of women. And when the place is quiet with little or no guests, there is the apparition of a man dressed in a shirt of old times, going about his work – is this perhaps the spirit of the former Judge himself?08. Lizzie Borden houseLocated in Fall River, Massachusetts is famous for the murders of Andrew Borden and Lizzie Borden, also known as the ‘Axe murders’.  Abby and Andrew Borden were murdered at that house one August morning. Both were bludgeoned with an axe and Lizzie was the main accused in the crime. She was tried and although acquitted of all charges of murder, she was guilty in the court of public opinion. Abby was murdered in the bedroom and Andrew in the parlor. In fact, these two rooms are the most sought after tourist attractions for people visiting the Borden home. People visiting have never faced any violent apparitions, however there have been descriptions of hot or cold air, stagnant air; there have been apparitions in the bedroom of the house were the murder happened, where the pillow bore the impression of someone sleeping on it. In fact paranormal activists have reported EVP questions being answered by what apparently seems like Andrew Borden. There are also the apparitions of a cat. The spirits at this home however seem to go about their work and do not seem to bother anyone around.07. The Whaley HouseLocated in San Diego, California, this place is considered to be one of the most haunted houses in America. Built on the site a graveyard by Thomas Whaley, the house was used for commercial purpose as a Theatre, Courthouse and general store. This house was very important for San Diego but it came with its tragedies, especially for the Whaley family. Thomas and Anna Whaley had six children, Thomas Jr died from Scarlet fever at just 18 months of age. That same year, their store burned to the ground. Devastated, they moved to San Francisco, however later fixed up the old house and moved back to San Diego. In 1885, Violet Whaley, daughter of Thomas and Anna committed suicide by shooting herself in the chest, due to a failed marriage. As time moved on, the members of the Whaley family living in the house passed on. Historically, the Whaley house is also known to be one of the most haunted houses in America. Staff and guests would catch a glimpse of members of the Whaley family. There have been sounds of a baby crying and sensation of deep sorrow, especially in the part of the house Violet died. There are reports of the floating spirit of Anna Whaley in the house, and an apparition of a woman in long flowing dress walking about the house. There is also the entity of a dog with long flapping ears running about between rooms, turns out the Whaley’s did own a dog, a terrier! The Whaley house has been declared an official Haunted house by the United States Commerce department.06. The Octagon HouseLocated in Washington DC and built by Colonel John Taylor, this house despite its name, is a three storied brick house that is actually a hexagon, with the interior containing a large spiral staircase that also acts as corridor leading to each room. The house was occupied by President Madison for 6 months after the White House was burnt down by the British. John Taylor and his wife Anne stayed in the house until their death. After Anne’s death the children rented out the house. The Octagon is considered to be one of the most haunted houses in DC, The ghosts that are purported to haunt the house are that of Dolly Madison and the 2 Taylor daughters. Dolly Madison’s ghost can be sensed by the smell of flowers and a pleasant musical hum that can be heard probably a remnant of on the many parties she hosted. There are also the apparitions of the Taylor Daughters, both of whom, on different occasions fell their death, down the stairs on the second and third floor of the house respectively. Apparitions of candles and shrieks can be heard on the staircase, and a rustling of the carpet at the spot here one of the daughters died have also been seen. There is also the legend of the ringing of the servant bells that could be heard. It is claimed that the sounds of the bells were the spirits of the dead slaves announcing their presence. There are also reports of lights flickering on and off, sound of feet rapping the floor and the spirit of man who was killed there visiting the room on the third floor, apart from the occasional shrieks that can be heard.05. The Pirate HouseLocated in Savannah and dating back to 1753, this is considered to be one of the city’s oldest structures. The original plan for the plot was to build a Botanical garden, however a tavern and inn were constructed to cater to the sailors an traders travelling from abroad. There was a tunnel in the basement that leads to the sea and it was believed that many sailors and seafaring men would get others drunk and kidnap them to sea through this tunnel. It is possible that many sailors would have died from alcohol intoxication at the inn and also from the violence that followed the many sailors visiting. The upstairs is considered to be the main area where many apparitions and manifestations have been witnessed. Sounds of laughter and the apparition of a bearded man have been witnessed on the second floor.  Coffee pots thrown across the room, and fleeting figures moving across the room. The first floor also has witnesses reporting the presence of a man, walking through the kitchen and rooms, chairs being rearranged and objects moving. There have been reports of people feeling cold and nauseous after visiting the basement area.  The house is now a restaurant and serves customers, but beware the spirits of the dead still linger.04. Villisca Ax Murder HouseThe Moore residence, located in the town of Villisca, Iowa, was occupied by the Josiah and Sarah Moore and their four children, who were an affluent and respected family in the community. On June 9th, Sarah invited Ina Mae (8) and Lena Gertrude Stillinger (12) over to spend the night after the Childrens day program that was being celebrated at the church that evening. After the program, the Moores and the Silinger sisters walked home. The following morning, Moore’s neighbors, Mary Peckham, noticed that the house was awfully quiet and no one seemed to be doing any chores. After multiple attempts at trying call wake the Moore family, Ross Moore, Josiah’s brother arrived and opened the door with his keys. On entering, he found the family including the Stilinger sisters bludgeoned to death by an axe. In 1994, Darwin and Martha Linn renovated the house to closely resemble the home as it were in before the murders and opened the house to visitors who can stay overnight. There have been numerous reports of children laughing, talking.  Audios have been recorded, of children’s voices and strange noises when no one else was present in the house. Objects have been seen to move and psychics have claimed to have communicated with the spirits that still linger about the house, perhaps still looking for justice.03. Ann Starrett MansionLocated in Port Townend, Washington, this sprawling mansion was built in 1899 by George Starrett as a gift to his wife Ann, whom he loved and adored very dearly. The interior décor of the house truly shows the love he had for his wife. The mansion was truly a masterpiece of its time. George and Ann had one child Edward and they hired a nanny who looked after him. The lived a happy life in the mansion and is now converted into a bed and breakfast. There are however numerous accounts of paranormal activity in the house, of both male and female entities, thought to be Ann and George. They say that even death could not separate them; such was the depth of their love. The entities and apparitions felt and experience d by many are mostly welcoming and warm. The female entity considered to be Ann can be seen floating between rooms or admitting the solar calendar. There is also a male entity but is very peaceful and mellow and considered mostly to be with entity of Ann. However, there has been one more female entity that is seen to interact with guests and staff and is the most common apparition experienced in the house. She can be seen flipping the bible, turning the light on and off and clank glasses to make her presence felt. A word of caution, the entity is known to get upset if any negative remarks are passed on the services of the house or if any criticism or remarks are passed on the family, such as slamming pictures or visitors have felt a bump on their head or a bang in the furniture.02. 208 Meriden Avenue “The Haunting in Connecticut” houseThe Snedeker family moved into the house as the rent was cheap and it was close to the hospital where their son would go for treatment (he was apparently being treated for cancer). The home was a former funeral home where the morticians committed necromancy and necrophilia. There were numerous occasions of hauntings and apparitions experienced by member of the Snedeker family. After moving in, Carmen Reed was warned by her son that they ought to move out because the house was evil, but reed paid no attention to the warning. Reed also speaks of a force experienced by those living at home, like being slapped, groped and threatened. Reed’s son started seeing a figure with long dark hair that would stand and watch over him, threaten him and scare him by calling out his name. Reed also claims that because of this and the voices her son could hear, the doctors diagnosed him with schizophrenia, but all that stopped when she sent him away to live with relatives. Reed also claims that her niece would be groped and she could once see a hand moving in her shirt and feeling her back. That was when it dawned upon Reed that ther was some supernatural force that was haunting their home. One researcher of paranormal activity claims that a spirit descended the stairs and said to him “Do you know what they did to us?”. Two priests called upon to perform an exorcism on the house were too scared and left, a third performed an exorcism that took three hours to rid the home of the spirits.01.   112 Ocean Avenue ”The Amityville Horror” homeRonald, Sr. and Louise DeFeo lived with their five children at 112 Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York. The family were wealthy and well-mannered, however their eldest son, Ron, known around town as a troublemaker. An admitted drug user, a petty criminal and a heavy drinker and was often in trouble with the law. On November 13, 1974, Ronald DeFeo, Jr. shot and killed six members of his family. In November of 1975, he convicted of Second-degree murder and was sentenced to six consecutive 25-year prison terms. In late December of 1975, just barely one year after the murders, George and Kathy Lutz bought the house for a sum of $80,000. Much of the DeFeo family's furniture was still in the house, because it was included for $400 as part of the deal. A friend of George insisted on having the house blessed, due to its recent history. Father Pecararo the vice-officials of the diocesan office performed the blessing. During the blessing, Father Pecararo mentioned that one particular room "bothered" him so he recommended that the family not use this particular room as a bedroom. The strange occurrences start soon after. Their dog Harry, tried to jump a fence and almost hug itself till it was rescued just in time.  Strong putrid odors emanated throughout the home, green slime oozed through the walls and the toilets turned black. Large swarms of houseflies continued to pile up in the sewing room. Household appliances turned themselves on and off randomly and doors would strangely slam shut. The entire family noticed severe mood swings and personality changes amongst themselves. George found himself continually awakening at 3:15 in the morning with an uncontrollable urge to check the boathouse. The Lutz' were persuaded to recite The Lord's Prayer while walking throughout the house, and one particular recitation, a mysterious voice shouted, "will you please stop!". Shadows moved around the house and they would see eyes peering in at them from other rooms. On one occasion George noticed the temperature fluctuating rapidly and when he decided to leave, while running down the stairs, there was apparition standing there, staring and pointing a finger at him. George and Kathy Lutz, with their three children and their dog Harry, left 112 Ocean Avenue, leaving all of their possessions behind.The list here provides us a glimpse of the supernatural and lets just hope it restricts itself to those places. Remember, in life, if one door opens and another one closes, call the priest because your house is probably haunted.

Up-and-comer John Boyega is reprising his role as Finn in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the upcoming sequel to 2015’s hit Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He’ll also be playing Jake Pentecost in the 2018 sequel film Pacific Rim: Uprising.Boyega was one of the two leads in The Force Awakens. He doesn’t appear much in the Last Jedi trailer we currently have, though. So it’s possible he may not have as big a role in this sequel. There’s only one brief shot of him in the trailer. And he’s not even awake during it. He’ll likely appear more in the final film of the trilogy. Although, he definitely may have a reduced role in the one coming out this December. We do see some more of him in some behind-the-scenes footage, though. So there’s that.   As for Pacific Rim: Uprising, well, Boyega wasn’t even in the first film. So you might assume he does not have a huge role in this one. Having said that, he’s actually the only character to appear in this first trailer, released by Legendary Pictures. He only appears briefly at the end. But hey, it’s just a teaser. There’s not too much else in the video. It’s only a little over a minute long. The rest of the teaser features a giant robot that resembles a Transformer robot and makes reference to something called the "Jaeger Uprising."The original Pacific Rim starred Emmy-nominee Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost. Boyega is portraying the son of Elba's character in this sequel.Boyega is a British actor, who has had a good bit a success at the young age of 25. He had his first major role back in 2011 with the indie cult classic Attack the Block. He also had some recent success for his lead role in the critically acclaimed crime drama Detroit from Kathryn Bigelow, Oscar-winning director of The Hurt Locker.
