“Earth To Echo”

Image result for echo movie 2014

warning spoilerss!!!!!!

 

 

This movie is an absolute hidden gem not a lot of people watched and if you didn’t, I highly recommend it. This coming-of-age movie shows the value of friendship, adversity, hardship, and the importance of not backing down to “bullies”. echo brings the 3 main characters together even more than they already were although this journey couldn’t keep them together in the end, they became brothers for life.  you will find earth to echo similar to E.T it’s meant to appeal to crowds like those. it’s a movie for people who believe in the power of friendship and magic. 

 

 

The journey starts with one of the main characters “tuck” recording an anomaly happening in the neighborhood. Everyone who lives on the street devices has been messing up and the government is paying people to hand the devices over: There’s also been construction happening a new highway is being built. tuck finds this weird, so he records the interaction. the friends discover that the devices show a map in the middle of the desert and decide to investigate leading down a series of events, and eventually to them finding “echo”.  after making their way through the desert the groups determination was questionable. the harsh sun beat down on them as they went through the desert. their water supply drained fast. just when their spirits began to give up a small gas station appeared seeming from nowhere. overjoyed they rushed towards it. seeking refuge from the relentless heat. inside they found an old map, which they happily examined. hoping to find a shortcut to echos next coordinates. munch tinkering with the gas pumps got just enough fuel for their bikes. Alex was cautious and scanned the area to see if anyone were following them. As they work with one another their bond deepens and, each playing a crucial role to their mission. with renewed energy and a clear sense of direction they head towards the coordinated with their revved-up bikes. ready to face whatever comes their way per their commitment to echo.

 

I’m not going to do a whole review explaining everything that happened because no one likes spoilers for real. I do have a couple questions though if you and your friends found an alien robot thingy how would y’all react? what would y’all do next? if you and your friends were being split up, what lengths would you go to avoid separation?

Greek Mythology (again) and acceptable ways to get into it through different medias!!

Greek mythology is my special interest, and I’m okay to admit that now. I remember when I first heard about it, I was probably six or seven and had just watched that horrendous Percy Jackson movie with my mom. I then, somehow, got my grubby little paws on a device and googled the only name I really remembered: Athena.

This opened a whole world for me to explore, with things that happened over two thousand years ago that I never thought could exist! There were multiple gods that I was introduced to, hundred of stories and names and places and even animals to learn about and experience and I was excited. I then remember my teacher, Mrs. Young from East Flora, asking my pathways class “what do you want to learn about?”

I had the conscious thought, then. “I can’t teach this to myself.” I knew that I would need to have someone else guide me and tell me who, what, when, where, etc. So, I suggested we learn about Greek Mythology. She loved the idea, and so for the next two months we studied different (age appropriate) myths, built The Parthenon out of toilet paper rolls and masking tape, learned names and correlations, we even looked a little bit into the stars and constellations!

I’m extremely thankful to my teacher, then. I’m glad there was an adult who asked what I wanted to learn, instead of teaching me what she was told to. I had an amazing gateway to Greek Mythology, even if the original source wasn’t so good. So today I want to talk about good, acceptable sources for younger kids to get into Greek mythology, and a few good ways I’ve expanded my knowledge of it as I’ve gotten older.

First and foremost: Percy Jackson

When talking about Greek Mythology in media, Percy Jackson is the first place my brain goes to. It has wonderful modern adaptations of the Gods into an easy to digest, true-to-myth form. The intepretaions of each god that Rick portrays is almost always interesting, fun, and doesn’t take away from the original concept of each god. While in the first series Rick does make some.. choice mistakes, especially regarding the myth of Medusa, he manages to fix his mistakes in a way that doesn’t completely override any horrible storyline.

Percy Jackon, a young boy and the demigod son of Poseidon, is being hunted by called by Mount Olympus and the Olympian Gods, as Zeus’ weapon, the lightning bolt, is missing; They believe he is the thief, when he didn’t even know that he was a demigod until, like, a week before. This book, and the following books, explores Percy’s story in navigating familiar and unfamiliar myths (Some I hadn’t even heard of until I read the books when I was fourteen!)

Overall, the series is one of my favorites. As a gateway into further interest in Greek Mythology all one has to do is consider that his is a children’s book and has to be dumbed down or explained differently for entertainment purposes. 10/10.

Second: The Song of Achillies (And other works by Madeline Miller)

Madeline Miller is such a talented author, from her writing style to how well she captures the parts of myths that we don’t really see. It’s true that we have little, if any, information on Circe besides what is gathered within the Odyssey, even though she is a recurring figure throughout several myths. Consider Madeline Miller’s work as a sort of in-between, and an amazing one at that. Her storytelling with the upbringing of Patroclus is so beautifully told, especially since he is a figure often overlooked despite being so pivotal for Achillies’ story in the Iliad. With both of her books being a kind of in-between, it is entirely possible to read them and get into Greek Mythology that way, by exploring three characters deeply then going into the much broader myths.. even if the ending of Circe is quite odd. Her books are such a creative take on the Iliad and a telling of Circe’s story that I will always ALWAYS recommend these books to people. 10/10

Third: EPIC THE MUSICAL

Just like the last section, Epic the Musical is written and directed (? I’m not sure, I don’t know musicals or music in general) Jorge Rivera-Herrans, which released over two years, each song coming out one at a time from 2022 through to 2024. The musical follows Odysseus, using wonderful modern storytelling to re-tell the odyssey in way it’s meant to be told. I genuinely have no words for how good this musical is. The only complaint I have about it is that, well, Odysseus does cheat on his wife. Sorry not sorry. Greeks had much different standards than we do today.

That being said, I have NOT touched on some of the.. worse ways people have gotten into greek mythology cough Lore Olympus cough cough really bad webtoon cough cough ANYWAYS!!!!!

This is the end of the blog!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful week!! If anyone else likes Greek mythology, how did you discover it? and let me know if you’d want to learn anything about Greek mythology because I know TOO much!!! Blog ideas are welcomed because I need them, lol.

Talking about my Sona

This is a silly little post about my fursona, Gyphe the Hyena!

So, I needed to talk about something that makes me happy. I haven’t been feeling the greatest lately…so I thought: hey! Why not write about my favorite creation? Unfortunately, this will be a shorter blog, but hey, we all need a brain break! He brings me joy, so today I will be talking about my original character and fursona, Gyphe the Hyena! 

So, as we can see, Gyphe (pronounced gif) is a blue, pink, and white hyena. He has a purple nose, tongue, and big smile! He also has gold accents in the sense of his eyes. He has gauges and a second piercing above the gauges on each side. He also had two hoops on his outer cartilage. I can never stick to a tail size, as some sizes are more aesthetically pleasing for different artworks. I know I’m biased because he’s my Sona, but I love Gyphe to bits. He’s so colorful and fun 

He doesn’t have any lore outside of being a fluffy personification of me. I’m actually having a wearable head of him made! It should be done before my birthday, and I’m so excited. I’ve had him as a sona for about 4 years now, and he’s been through a lot of changes. I refuse to show the old art, though, because it is BAD. 

I also have been doing art commissions lately, and here are some of my most recent works! They were really fun to work on, and the customers were so kind and patient. I always get so happy when my customers tell me how excited they are and how much they love the artwork!!! I really love doing art for folks, and plus, it allows me to spend more money on yarn! !>:D 

Anywho, that’s it!!! Thank you for checking this silly blog out. I really appreciate it.

My Top 10 Vocaloid songs

  1. Steampianst- “The Umbrella Salesman”

So low because it’s kind of sad and more of a storytelling. GENUINELY SO HAUNTING, it’s all about an umbrella salesman who says his umbrellas are magic levitating umbrellas, but nobody buys them. So, on a rainy day he goes to the top of a tall building and jumps off with the umbrella. Let’s just say he certainly ends up above in the clouds…non magically… 

  1. R.I.P- “Language of the Lost”

AAHH very upbeat considering it’s about a confused identity and goes through a range of emotions, IT HAS SUCH A HAPPY ENDING where the Teto (the Vocaloid singing) realizes it doesn’t matter what she is and only that she’s her and she should love that. 

  1. Deco*27“Monitoring”

Pov of a mentally ill person on the person who is checking in on them outside, Lowkey a BANGER plus its cool when you get little flashes of reality that aren’t delusions. 

  1. Paseri Onuma- “Egoist”

About WELL an egoistic person believing they are better than the things around them to an EXTREME point.  

  1. Kikuo – “O Light”

A person in a dream BEGGING to wake up, the character seems to be just stuck in an endless cycle of delusions. 

  1. 32ki- “Mesmerizer”

The two characters are basically hypnotized into a sense of calm while they were looking for an escape. 

  1. Abu-Se-Ken- “Flowers, Mountains & Funerals”

AHHH Kinda hard to make out the meaning but from what i get i believe its about living on after someone dies. It has really cool and climatic instrumentals 

  1. Abu-Se-Ken-  “Want to Be Cremated”

A deep reflection on cremation, delving into grief and what comes after 

  1. Lanndo- “Lower one’s eyes”

Narrated from the perspective of a maid who feels conflict in her relationship with her teacher (a “witch”). She admires the witch but simultaneously harbors jealousy, guilt, and fear. Driven by her insecurities and longing, she betrays the witch—this betrayal leads to the witch’s execution. The maid wrestles with remorse and the weight of her own decisions. (TLDR: doomed yuri)

  1. FLAVOR FOLEY- “Spoken For”

The song follows an idol who feels trapped in her career. Her words, image, and actions are all controlled by others, leaving her with no personal freedom. As she performs, the pressure of constant expectations eats away at her identity. She struggles with exhaustion, self-doubt, and isolation, realizing that everything she presents to the world is scripted and “spoken for.”  

Nirvana Deep Dive: In Utero PT.1

Older, Richer, Higher and Smarter are the four words that tell you all you need to know about In Utero Nirvanas final studio Album.  

 

 

In early 1993 Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic would arrive at Pachyderm studios deep in the woods of Minesota about two to three days later Dave Grohl would fly in. With the gang there and a new producer in Steve Albini in Utero was ready to be kicked off.  

 

 

Steve Albini is in all words a legend of punk rock. He prior to Nirvana produced The Pixies and Jesus Lizard among many others to great critical success. His style was a perfect blind of the previous Nirvana producers, Albini featured the harsh noisy alternative rock sound mixed with the carefully cleaned sound of Butch Vig. Albini also featured an ability to do something that was largely overlooked by creating odd sounds just from the guitar and pedals. 

 

GEAR USED FOR In Utero  

                                  Kurt 

1965 Fender Jaguar modified to have a Dimarzio humbucker and a three-way style selector switch and coil split controls on the guitar. 

A 1960-69 Jaguar with Seymour Duncan pickups installed and DiMarzio’s. 

Potentially an Ibanez Les Paul with Dimarzio humbuckers  

A Stella 12 string guitar that was strung up with only 5 nylon strings (Writers note that the same guitar featured on Something in the way and Polly from Nevermind.) 

A Hi flier with a set of humbuckers (possibly the stock ones)  

A fender twin reverb  

A Modded Fender Frankenstein amp with several different tubes’ speakers and wiring configurations. 

A Boss Ds-2 super distortion pedal 

An Electro Harmonix Chorus Pedal 

A Sans amp Classic  

A mysterious Pedal X 

A Echo Flanger Pedal. 

Kurt Cobain Pedalboard In Utero Era : r/Nirvana

    Krist  

 

A Marshall Combo Head and Cabinet  

A Gibson Rd Bass 

(Note he didn’t use any pedals most of his distortion comes from his preamp being cranked loud with high gain and him simply playing harder and with the volume pot on his guitar being turned up as well.) 

Nirvana's Gear in the Nevermind Era

 

 

    Dave 

His Drumkit often varied but the studio recording featured a Tama large kit with that iconic large Tom and Kick. Plus, a sonar hi hat stand that was indeed high 

See Dave Grohl's Tama Rockstar-Pro drum kit at the Nirvana: Taking Punk to  the Masses Reopening Party MoPOP March 16! Get your tickets now!  #NirvanaReturns

 

 

The lead off track of this album in many ways is a change of pace.” Serve the Servants” sounded different even from “Blew” and “Smells like teen spirit”. Nirvana was trying hard to distance themselves from the clean production or “Nevermind” while finding ways to maintain it. So more came out of the production phase. The trio would play in a rehearsal room and track songs live. “Serve the Servants” is wonderfully dissonant, and it clashes itself it embraces its loud noisiness while staying relatively easy on the ears the studio magic of Steve Albini.  

Steve Albini & Nirvana, 1993. : r/OldSchoolCool

“Scentless Apprentice” has iconic moments throughout; this is one of the songs you hear once and just know the drumbeat to start off a powerful 4/4 fast paced loop encroaches the song the cymbals ring out well. Kurt employs a very nice use of chromatic walk downs throughout the song I.E the opening bar to the guitar part features a F to F# to G ending on a 19th fret B (Fourth octave) with a clash of the open B (B3 in concordance to a piano) string. This creates a lot of dissonance with the vocal part Kurt sings at a F# as the main chorus features a G# fretted hammer on sound from the guitar barely reaching a harmony as the song moves in full steps and barely remains in the key of G and F.

This is the end to part one a lot of my posts have been extremely long and not as in depth as I would hope so my compromise shorter more in detail in depth posts. This Allows for the first part to show what gear the artist used (pedals, amps, and guitars.) and maybe how they used them (amp settings pedal chain order and settings) . Part two will have the rest of songs from In Utero as well as some of the changes the live versions of these songs saw.

Just talking

 

Just talking

Okay so I don’t know what to talk about in this blog for real. So let me start by saying thanks for the advice on my last blog. It means a lot to me and y’all were right I need to chill and take time to myself and go out with friends, once aging thanks y’all so much nothing but love and I can see that. Let’s see what I can talk about?? Hmm! I don’t know y’all I’m out of ideas. I didn’t think it would be this hard to write about something but dang this is hard for me. When I say I just looked at the computer and just thinking, I couldn’t think of anything.

I guess I can just about my week last week.  I had fun a lot of fun, especially with Madison. As always, we walked around, did TikTok’s, listened to music, had our own little party, and took my hair down. Well, she tried to help lol.  Madison is basically my best friend/sister every day we get closer and closer, and I know for a fact I can trust her. We do everything together like everything!! 

I know when summer comes around, I’ll miss my girl. She is so funny, kind, smart, and beautiful she can always make me smile when I’m upset. I can truly say that she’s someone that came into my life when I didn’t know how things would go when I got here. 

The funny thing about our relationship is we act just alike for real. If I would have a twin, she would be my twin for real. She is for sure a sister I would love to have around. I’m not go lie when I first saw Madison, I thought she was mean, I thought she looked cool and all, but she really looked mean lol.

But yea I love my Madison, anyway that’s my blog for this week. I didn’t know what to talk about, but I tried, until next week ttyl!!

 

Ghosts!

This week I’ll be talking about ANOTHER one of my favorite shows. Seems like I have a bit of a streak going haha!! This time there’s more comedy than hurt, but as always with the things I enjoy, there’s some hurt. I mean, the name of the show is ghosts of course there’s going to be some sad bits! It’s dead people!!

There are two versions of Ghosts, and I’ll be talking about the BETTER version, which is the original British series created by comedy acting troop ThemThere. There is an American version, and after the first few seasons it comes into its own and is a good series, but at first it’s just not as good because it’s copying the main series practically line by line with a twist of explaining the joke. 

Ghosts follows Allison and Mike Cooper as Allison inherits a very old, very dilapidated, and very haunted mansion out in the country. The cast of the main ghosts present are, in order of death: Robin, a caveman struck my lightening; Humphrey, man beheaded accidentally; Mary, a woman burned at the stake because of accusations of witchcraft; Kitty, a Rococo woman who died to causes covered in season five of the series; Thomas, a poet who bled to death after being shot in the abdomen; The Captain, a WWII Captain that we know little to nothing of prior to his death up until season 5; Fanny or Lady Button, a Edwardian woman who was pushed from her window; Pat, a boy scout leader that was shot in the neck with an arrow; and Julian, a man who had a heart attack while cheating on his wife at a political event. 

It’s a bit hard to tell, but headless Humphrey and Robin (bottom right) are played by the same actor and are the closest in time of death!! The actors for Robin/Humphrey, Thomas, The Captain, Fanny, Pat, and Julian are part of the previously mentioned acting troop ThemThere. They had a start of acting as people from different periods as they were on an educational children’s series that aired from 2009-2014 called Horrible Histories (Unrelated, but one time when I was very very sick and a bit delirious, children’s shows like HH were the only things I could watch because I would start getting a migraine if I thought to hard. I was speaking in a British accent for like two hours). ThemThere created another historical based series named Bill, which follows the life of William Shakespeare, and a fantasy series named Yonderland.

I haven’t talked much about the episodes in detail or a series synopsis in this blog post because it’s a really good show I don’t want to spoil!! With Takin’ over the Asylum and The Walking Dead, they’ve been out long enough for spoilers on certain bits being practically unavoidable, but with Ghosts it’s pretty easy to assume that most readers of this know nothing about the original series.

My favorite episodes for each season have to be “Carpe Diem” in season 5, “Speak as ye Choose” in season 4, “The Woodworm Men” in season 3 (followed close by “Something to Share?”), “Redding Weddy” in season 2 (Followed close by “Perfect Day”), and “Getting Out” in season 1. To be honest, most of these episodes follow The Captain or he has a big impact on the episode. He may be my favorite a bit, but I just fall to love the trope of a cold closed off character coming into their own. The way he acts around the other ghosts and the people in season 1 when Allison and Mike first get to Button house, their mansion, compared to “Carpe Diem” in season 5 are so drastic and beautiful. Of course, other characters change such as Fanny’s brashness or Julian’s sexualization and sexist-ness towards others, but The Captain is the one who changes the most out of all.

Okay that’s definitely enough for this week. I will be talking more about my favorite episodes at a later date, but for now this is my signing off. Have a good day, ByeBye!!

Tim Burton

Due to the season of fall almost being upon us and Halloween fast approaching, I would like to talk about one of my favorite film makers and artists: Tim Burton. Tim burton is an amazing filmmaker; he often directs movies and shows in the gothic horror and dark fantasy realm. Some of his more popular works include Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Frankenweenie. His latest work was the Netflix show Wednesday, a spin-off of the Addams Family.

Tim burton started filmmaking at a young age. He started in 1985. He became known for a very particular style which combined gothic style, dark fantasy, and specific feelings of macabre quirkiness and eccentricity. He doesn’t just film make or direct. He also draws and imagines these ideas before anything is ever put into motion. He has a very specific artistic view and wants everything a certain way. He also has a very loyal crew. 

His films usually consist of the same actors; once he finds someone that sees his artistic visions and portrays them in the way he wishes then he sticks with them. Some examples of this are Jonny Depp, Helena Bonham, and Danny Elfman (who does almost all the soundtracks for the films). 

 

Tim Burton has a very blunt personality and due to this he can come across mean and stern at times, but he is really just saying what he thinks and feels. Artists must be truly authentic and real; this is something I think he accomplishes well. He speaks his mind. He doesn’t really care what others think about him or his style. This is what makes his art even better because he is the only one who can see his artistic vision.  

                                                                              Tim Burton is the type of artist that makes masterpieces but it takes him ages to  do projects. His last thing before the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie was the movie Dumbo in 2019 and he worked on the music videos Bones and Here with me for the band The Killers. He wasn’t really heard from a lot from the period between 2019 and 2022. He works in waves. Kind of like hibernation. 

 

Another thing that is very interesting about Tim Burton is how diverse his selection of films are. His first movie was Pee-wee’s Big Adventure which is very off brand for him. It wasn’t very dark and it a comedy. I have never personally seen this film but it surprised me that he was a part of this film. Another film I was shocked to hear he worked on was a few of the Batman movies. It makes sense but i just wouldn’t have put the two together. He also worked on Mars Attacks and Planet of the Apes (2001). 

My favorite Films by Tim Burton are hard to choose but i do have a list. 

  1. All of his earlier short films, (most of which you can find on YouTube). My favorite is a film called Vincent (1982)
  2. Alice in wonderland (2009)
  3. Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)
  4. Corpse Bride (2005)
  5. Beetlejuice ( 1988)
  6. Charlie and the Chocolate factory (2005)
  7. Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Now this list is of the movies I have seen and I love all of these movies so so much but i ranked them by which are my favorites to the ones I just like. 

Recently he has announced he is working on a new project. He said it will be an animated film. I’m really excited for this new release and the possibilities of what it could be. Me personally, I would love to see a film linking The Nightmare Before Christmas, Frankenweenie, and Corpse Bride together, making it a full story. It’s been rumored that the stories are all connected. I do think that if he stays true to his later projects I will be happy with what ever he produces and can’t wait to see it. What are you hoping the new film will be about ? 

The Path, Wicther Lore part 1. The life of a Witcher.

 

If you remember in my first blog that I said I was currently collecting all the books, well I still am. So since the books slowly ease into the Witcher Three, the best “lore” I can give you is background knowledge on who he is, what he is, what he does, and all other characters related to him. 

Who and What is Geralt of Rivia? 

As you have heard me explain time and time again, Geralt is a hunter monster/humans. Taking on various contracts from his travels or also known as The Path. Where young witchers graduate from their selected schools and finally fly solo after gruesome years of rigorous and very deadly training. Often  times a lot of people ask how they first become a Witcher or how they arrive to the schools in the first place. 

Geralt, like many other young boys, were either taken or GIVEN to the passing Witchers masters who had graduated their latest trained Witchers to find the new generation train. Before Geralt’s time, the Witcher recruitment was not ideal. On many occasions it wasn’t up to the families whether or not they get to keep their son, they simply would take him and if the boys parents got in the way they’d not hesitate homicide and take the boy. 

This is what lead to the ruining of the Witcher brand. Anyone who was  Witcher was seen as an immediate killer and shunned by the populace of city’s and small towns but are smiled upon if they’re really doing their jobs and not lying for coin..sadly there were some who did this…. What’s even worse, is that those families who were murdered, and if their son became a Witcher, it was more likely for that boy to do the same to another family.

How Geralt became a Witcher starts as a boy. Actually, he wasn’t taken as boy but given to the Witchers within the mountain fortress Kaer Morhen (care-more-hen) The witchers home to the School of the Wolf where he would train along side many other boys under the teachings of the great Witcher Vesemir. Vesemir wasn’t the typical, stoic Witcher, but a more humorous one at that. He had his moments though. 

Vesemir taught these boys traditionally and in his own way. The two “brothers” Geralt trained beside were Lambert and Eskel. (I’d put pictures but my laptops acting up rn-)

Vesemir would become a well respected father figure to those who’ve read the Witcher books and definitely played the games. The relationship he has with these three boys was as deep as it emotionally could get. And I mean that literally. 

The process in which takes place from boy to Witcher is an extremely dangerous one if not done correctly or if the boy is too weak enough. The brutal and very life threatening training these boys go through is not for nothing. The mutation completely alters the anatomy and biology of the young kids as well as emotionally. 

Witchers loose their emotions almost entirely. Or so some thought. Geralt’s really a compassionate guy, he is a step-father after all. (That’s for part 2 tho.)

Witchers are also STERILE meaning they cant have biological children and uhm…for Geralt’s case that’s a good thing…

Geralt’s overall past is pretty well hidden behind closed doors for me right now because I am DYING to read the books so bad but I don’t have them all yet!!!!

Its sad times ladies and gentlemen…sad times…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Killer Nurse

So, this week’s blog post is going to be a bit different from the weeks prior. I am going to tell all of you reading about a True Crime Case that I happen to find very tragic and that floats around in the back of my mind. Please sit back and try to relax while I tell you about Chester Hospital and it’s “Killer Nurse”.

Lucy Letby is a thirty-five-year-old former neonatal nurse and a serial killer. In August of 2023, Letby was convicted of murdering seven infants and the attempted murders of seven others. It is likely this killer has murdered or assaulted many more infants. Letby would go about her crimes by giving the infants too much insulin, ripping out their breathing tubes, or injecting air bubbles into their bloodstream.

Colleagues, before Letby had been convicted, reportedly called her an “angel of death.” This is because every time Letby was on shift, an infant would suddenly get sick. It didn’t matter if the infant had been doing well, getting stronger, or was strong already. When Letby was near no infant was safe.

While Letby was still working at Chester Hospital she was also known as a bit of a nightmare. Letby was one of those goody-two-shoes who “wanted to do her job and yours too”. During her time there Letby began to obsess over a married doctor, who during trial was referred to as Doctor A. It is a theory that Letby’s motive to kill these innocent babies was to gain Doctor A’s attention and sympathy. Pathetic right?

There were rumors that Chester Hospital was haunted, or cursed, due to the number of infants dying. There were theories that the water was tainted. Come to find out the reason behind all the lives of the Nicu babies being cut short, was one evil woman. It’s truly terrifying to think that the people who hold the lives of the most vulnerable people could be like Lucy Letby. It makes you wonder if there are others and they just haven’t been caught yet? If there were others and they got away with it? Horrifying, don’t you think?

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you all would like me to continue writing about true crime cases it’d be cool if you’d let me know. Have a wonderful day, and if you’d like to learn more about this case, I suggest Stephanie Soo’s “Rotten Mango” podcast. You can find It on YouTube or Spotify.
