The Santa Fe courthouse ghost was a purported ghost sighted on a video captured by a security camera at a courthouse in Santa Fe, New Mexico on June 15, 2007. The “ghost video” was uploaded onto YouTube and quickly attracted widespread attention, especially within the community of ghost believers.
The mysterious object
On June 15, 2007, a mysterious star-shaped object floating around the First Judicial District courthouse was recorded by a surveillance camera. The image, starting at 7:27:11 a.m., shows a bright spot of light that comes from either the roof or near the courthouse’s back door on Catron Street.[1] Quickly thereafter, reports on the event were posted on various news web sites such as courttv.com, abcnews.com, cbsnews.com, foxnews.com and Yahoo!, and promptly became a topic of discussion all over the country. Soon after videos and images were released to public, a large number of e-mail messages were sent to a New Mexico Magazine reporter, proposing various theories on what the object was.[2] Thousands of hits for the video were recorded on The New Mexican site. The video was later uploaded to YouTube and has been viewed more than 80,000 times,[3] drawing hundreds of e-mail comments.[4]
Many predictions were made about the real identity of the mysterious object. Some people supposed that it was the ghost of Andy Lopez, who took nine hostages at the courthouse in February 1985 after killing the wife of his original victim 20 years ago.[1] Other predictions included a person walking, a male’s face and a spirit. However, common theories were that it might be just an insect (later found to be true), a spider, or a reflection, as well as some kinds of light phenomenon. Vanessa Pacheco, supervisor of the court security for the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, said people’s opinions on the video depended on whether they believe in ghosts.[2]
1/22/2008 –
County staff responding to a water leak at the former Blue Monkey salon and cosmetology school Tuesday morning found the interior trashed, covered in vulgar graffiti and reeking of hair dye that had been splattered over the walls and floors.
“The county hates tattooed freaks and their daughters, I gave them bad highlights on purpose,” and “We put a voodoo hex on this property” were among the phrases written across the walls of the former salon. Others contained expletives and sexually explicit remarks directed at County Commissioner Harry Montoya. Crumpled beer cans, shards of broken mirrors and beauty-supplies littered the floor.

Get a Free Book of Hungarian Poetry if You’re Flying Lufthansa Today Thursday, Jan 22 2009

get a book,
there’s nothing cleaner, freer or cheaper
than a perfect-bound book,
and you with your little ipod,
flicking through the pages,
as a squirrel wearing a tie
might read hungarian poetry,
as i think he might.
there’s goulash in your future,
by which i mean
many delights,
and what a shame i’m not hungarian,
what a shame you’re not on this flight.

on bread and imprisonment Friday, Dec 5 2008
Door Handles and Dreams and General and Poetry and The Small Prince and Writing time spent unwisely, with a bread sandwich 10:01 pm
the locks are old and weak;
and suspended in mid-air beside them
their keys,
and the keys to many other locks on
a large gold ring.
the jailer is eating a sandwich. O!
What shall we do with the jailer
and his sandwich?
It is an exceedingly large meal for one person.
This could take a while -
let this poem eat your time.
Power Rangers lunchbox,
bright red plastic
holds no sandwich now.
The red box for breadcrumbs
was once
a jail-cell,
much like this one.

Some things warrant ignoring. Please be aware that what follows may be one such thing. In this long, rambling and tedious post, we concern ourselves with an event that never happened, like the moon landings, or the assisination of the Loch Ness Monster. However, it was my great pleasure to take this opporunity to thank some of the many people who have helped make Peter and The Hare who they are, the blog they are, when they are, if they are.
Thanks for listening.

Handwritten Premonitions Sunday, Nov 2 2008
Diary and Door Handles and Dreams and General and innocence notfinished, posts tagged with "peartree" for no reason, the day that almost ended, thoughts, upon exiting the theatre 9:03 pm
scattered on a floating desk -
I offer these notes for the sake of giving, only
for your eyes and yet nobody’s
ears
to hear
(and yours to see,
if you want to.)
Regrettably – as with most premonitions – accuracy, with reference to the written text of the future, cannot be verified.
You’ve had enough excitement for today. Go to sleep.

UPDATE! Some of these paintings are FOR SALE at my Etsy Shop (more info) I suspect that in the future my new works will be showcased directly on that site, and won’t appear here. However, I’ll keep this post up, because there are all manner of curiousities which you may or may not enjoy – images which, for me, have a potently nostalgic power.
