Another film I loved. 😃
Actor Mel Gibson made a cameo appearance as Frances’ father in the 1997 film FairyTale: A True Story. The movie is about two children who take pictures of themselves with fairies in 1917, and some believed the photos were the first scientific evidence of fairies.
I was a huge fan of Mel Gibson, ever since his Mad Max, Passion of Christ and What Womamen Want films.

I can remember the year this Disney film was released. It was the year my youngest daughter Lauren was born, 1995.
During my youth, I frequently spent time beneath the willow tree at the Stamford Meadows. I particularly enjoyed reading in this serene location on summer Sunday afternoons.
Of course, I grew up in Stamford Lincolshire. This is a photograph of the very same tree in Stamford. I used to have a lovely photograph of my daughters playing here as children during a family picnic. I loved this willow tree. Similar to “Old Mother Willow.” The film starred actor Mel Gibson, Christian Bale, and Irene Bedard.

The Haunted Doll 😱😱 I read this recently.
When considering haunted dolls, one might envision a traditional Victorian-style porcelain figure. While such items may not be commonly found in your surroundings, it’s advisable to remain cautious around children’s toys.
Notably, a Disney’s Frozen Elsa doll, gifted during Christmas 2013 in the Houston area, attracted significant media attention earlier this year due to reports of unusual phenomena associated with it.
The doll was designed to recite phrases from the movie “Frozen” and to sing “Let It Go” when a button on its necklace was activated. According to mother Emily Madonia, “For two years, it functioned solely in English. In 2015, it began alternating between Spanish and English without a dedicated button to switch languages; the changes appeared to occur randomly.” The family has had the doll for over six years and has not replaced the batteries. Mrs. Madonia noted that the doll would occasionally begin speaking and singing even when the switch was turned off.
At that time, Elsa stopped singing the English version of “Let It Go” entirely and communicated solely in Spanish when prompted. The family then double-bagged the unusual doll and disposed of it at the bottom of their trash, which was collected on garbage day. Shortly thereafter, they went on a trip; however, upon their return, they discovered that Elsa had also reappeared, waiting in the backyard of their home.
Recently, the family sent Elsa to a family friend in Minnesota, who secured the haunted doll to the front bumper of his truck. According to Madonia’s latest Facebook update in February, it has not yet returned to Houston.
In December 2019, the family made the decision to dispose of the unsettling doll. Several weeks later, they discovered it placed inside a bench in their living room. The children insisted that they had not moved it there, and their parent trusted their account, as it seemed unlikely they would have rummaged through the trash outside.
Hmmm, spooky ot what? 🙂
