A few weeks ago we interviewed David Farrier, host of the Netflix series “Dark Tourist“. One of the episodes we talked about with David was episode seven, the trip he took to a Voodoo festival in Ouidah, Africa. While at the festival he participated in a ritual led by a Voodoo priestess named Martine (pictured with Farrier below). Earlier today David revealed on Facebook that he received a message from a priest, Father Klement. According to the Catholic priest during the ceremony, David unwittingly entered into a pact with a demon. In the copied message Father Klement urged David to seek professional, spiritual help and even an exorcism. So far, David has not expressed any real concern. While I am more worried about the radiation, in the long run, it was nice to get the message from the priest, who was kind enough to reach out.” David told us about the message. “Who knows, I might take him up on

Earlier this week I was scrolling through Netflix looking for something to watch. I was hoping to find something dark and interesting. I came across a new series, “Dark Tourist” and it fit the bill. I had no idea just how interesting it would be. The series, currently on the “Trending” list, follows host David Farrier as he travels to dark tourist locations, including many dangerous ones. After binge-watching season one of the show I had to talk to David, luckily, he was willing to answer some questions. “Dark Tourist” takes David to locations like Japan’s Suicide Forest and Fukushima. We watch as he spends time with a killer, he participates in a Voodoo initiation, and he took part in burial rites that include sacrifices and we see a family dig up the dead to pay their respects and to redress them. Now, we have our fingers crossed for a second season. David Farrier wears a lot of hats. He’s

Enter the upside down this September at Exploration Acres, Indiana’s largest corn maze and pumpkin patch. Fans of “Stranger Things” will want to flock to Lafayette to see the incredible maze that pays homage to Netflix’s hit series. News outlet WTHR 13 states that “The area of the 20-acre maze is equivalent to about 15 football fields and the available paths total over 10 miles, making this the largest attraction Exploration Acres has attempted to date.” Described as an “immersive environment” for fans of “Stranger Things,” only from above you can truly appreciate the image that was painstakingly carved into the cornfield. This year, new technology allowed us to plant the maze design like an inkjet printer, dropping seeds into the precise design we imagined,” Tim Fitzgerald president of Exploration Acres stated. Exploration Acres is open for the Halloween season from September 14th to October 28th.
