Just a couple days ago I told you all how Darren Lynn Bousman had finally updated his official blog and gave us somewhat of an update on 11-11-11. Actually it wasn’t much of an update but he did let us know he’d be updating the blog regularly with pretty bizarre happenings from the set of the film. And that first update comes today!
The first story Bousman shares with us, courtesy of his official blog of course, is about some haunted window shades. Or supposed haunted window shades. However you want to approach this.
Now Bousman’s rundown and video footage is hard to argue with and you can definitely color me intrigued. Check out Bousman’s argument:
“The pulley systems no longer worked – so if you wanted to pull the shade up – you had to physically STAND in front of the window and yank on a chain, then RETIE the chain back to the wall. There was NO WAY to lock the window shade in place. Meaning – if you pulled the drape up – it had to be tied back down OR the drape would slam closed.
To put this in perspective… If one person wanted to open all three drapes, he would have to untie the chain from the wall, pull the chain, then RETIE it back to the wall or the window shade would completely drop down. Each shade would take maybe 20 to 30 seconds to operate.”
Now scope out the video directly below. See the shades? Pretty tapped stuff right? Not to mention that shadowy thing racing across the top story. Pretty freaky shite! For the whole rundown of the story head on over to Bousman’s blog and keep it here for his ongoing tales as we hear them!

Curiosity quickly turns to obsession, and Joseph soon realizes that this number holds a horrific meaning not only to himself but possibly to all of religion.
