It tries to get you as far away from God or positive energy as it can.

Yeah, and Adam, he curses God, but he doesn't die quite yet.

But as a result, he has a real grudge against God, which we will discover is not a good thing to have.

Oh, hell no.

So in 1788, three things happen that are kind of all tied together.

They're tied together in the novel, although I don't have time now to explain them all.

In 1788 in March, on Good Friday, there is the famous New Orleans fire.

Right.

Uh, uh, why did you, uh, get interested in a haunting, particularly this haunting, the Wizard Clip haunting?

Well, uh, the story goes back to 2012 when I was sitting here in my office in Michigan, and I, I got a phone call from Australia, of all places, and it was a fellow by the name of, uh, Jaime Solito, who was an expat from the Philippines living and working in Australia.

And he knew that I was involved in filmmaking and that I had a little Catholic background, and he said, "You know, you need to make a movie about this thing I found online called Wizard Clip." And I knew nothing about it, and he sent me a bunch of stuff, uh, through email, and, uh, I read it and I thought, "Man, this sounds really interesting." I'd never heard about it.

And it was stuff that had happened in the 1790s in West Virginia, which is about eight hours from where I live, and I had never heard of it, and I thought, "Well, this is interesting." So I did some more online research.

I wrote a screenplay because I, uh, I, I worked with a lot of people in Hollywood and mostly with screenplays and films.

And I sent it to some of my friends out in LA, and they thought, "Yeah, this is interesting.

I think we can do this pretty cheap." And, and I'm thinking, "Yeah, well, it might be a little bit more money." And so anyhow, uh, got some interest, but not a whole lot, and of course we didn't, not get the money as usually happens.

Hmm
