Paranormal investigators, exploring the old Kuhn Memorial State Hospital in Vicksburg, found more than they were bargaining for when they discovered a dead body on the grounds of the hospital late last night. Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong stated that the body was that of a woman in her 60’s. The death is being ruled a homicide by the Warren County Coroner, who suspects the cause of death is blunt force trauma. The body does match the description of a 69 year old woman who has gone missing, but due to the state of the remains, further testing is required. Two men have been taken into custody who confessed that they did abduct the missing woman Saturday night, but claim they did drop her off at a location alive. The hospital, where the Paranormal investigators found the body, has been vacant since 1989. The grounds are rumored to be haunted by many. The hospital was also used as a filming

Saturday (June 13th) was the premiere of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell on BBC America, and if you didn’t watch it, you definitely should have. Why? Because it’s awesome, and because I said so. . .what are you still doing here? Why aren’t you checking to see if it’s On-Demand or something? Oh fine, if you won’t just take my word for it I guess I’ll try and explain why it’s awesome, and why you should be watching it. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is based on the Hugo Award-winning novel of the same name, written by Susanna Clarke. Never having read the book, I can’t speak to the television series’ quality as an adaptation, but as someone who does watch a butt-load of television, I can speak to its quality as an excellent TV show. The series is extremely original and innovative, exploring territory that is very rarely explored in either movies or television, alternate history. Hold on, before
