Introductions

Hello, everybody, this is Matt LaCoste, I'm a gamer and a nerd, not really sure what else to say, I've always hated having to describe myself.

I've been a fan of fantasy as long as i can remember, especially fantasy along the lines of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, dragons and magic, that kind of thing, my dad first introduced me to Tolkein sometime around when i was in first grade, maybe a bit sooner, I can't remember exactly when. I've also always been a fan of science fiction like Star Wars. As far as movies go, I have never been that big on horror, given a choice, I'll take a comedy over a horror movie almost every time, but I still do like a good horror movie, and I do mean GOOD horror movies, not those god awful blood and gore movies like Saw, I can't stand that.

Now for my own experience with the paranormal and whatnot. I personally do not believe in the supernatural, I've always been the scientific minded, "show me proof" kind of person, but that still doesn't stop me from getting scared during a horror movie. Anyway I'm from New Orleans, I lived there pretty much my entire life until I came to Alabama. My grandparents live downtown in the French quarter, they retired years ago, but the still work as tour guides in the city, and one of the tours that my Grandmother gives is one of the "Ghost tours" in the city, which goes by many of the supposedly haunted spots, places where someone was murdered, or committed suicide, or some other gruesome thing, and there she would tell the story of what happened, and why people thought the place was haunted and all that stuff. Anyway my Grandmother always used to bring me and my cousins along on these tours with the group and try to give us all a good scare. I'm not going to get into any of these stories because I don't really remember the details well enough to tell them, and besides its one of those things that you really have to actually be there to get the effect, but anyway that's about all I've got to say about this
