I tend to give low budget horror a lot of leeway. This is so bad, I can't with good conscience do that. There are no half stars to give. Simply put- one of the worst attempts at horror in a long time. Clearly the producers have no idea how to make a film worth watching. I feel sorry for actors, the crew and the investors. I'm sure there were a lot of good people involved who worked very hard on this crappy film. Save your money.
Ok since when did draco,alice,and the winter solider make a movie. HOW DID I NOT NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS. Tube neon apparition. Has entered the chat. The storyline was great, taking a true story about Preston Castle in Ione, CA (The movie was shot inside Preston Castle) with a 2019 twist to it.

Kevin Pollak played the role perfectly as the bad guy, it was like he was made for the role. Mena Suvari was amazing in her role as Anna. And rest of the cast is awesome! It will show what happens inside that place, Karma does exist! And if you are from the area the things we hear about the place is true. I love this movie! It has great chemistry between the hunted and the humans. The ending was perfect! I truly enjoyed it, feel it's worth seeing and am hoping to see it again in a theater soon.

The buildings bricks were made by nearby Folsom and San Quentin inmates and shipped via rail to Ione, in Californias Sierra Foothills, where the castle was built. The state legislature had ordered construction of the building to serve as a juvenile rehabilitation correctional facility. By 1894 the castle was complete and the Preston School of Industry was opened. At the military-styled school wards spent half their days in school and the other half learning a trade that could support them after their release. The facility served as home to the school until 1960 when it was moved to newer nearby buildings. For the next forty years the castle remained abandoned, until 2001 when a fifty-year lease was given to The Preston Castle Foundation. The foundation has since been working to preserve and restore the castle. The building has been named as a California Historical Landmark ( 867) and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NPS-75000422. It has long been said that the castle is haunted and it has been investigated by a variety of ghost hunters. Several deaths occurred at the castle throughout the years, but it is believed to be haunted by Anna Corbin, a housekeeper who was found beaten to death in 1950. For those hoping to experience the paranormal, overnight ghost tours are offered for 100. Basic tours are also offered almost every?Saturday, plus some Tuesdays, during the months of April through December. Future beat-hero Neal Cassidy supposedly “discovered literature” while as a ward at the school. Other famous wards include country musician Merle Haggard (who has a “PSoI” tattoo) actor Lee J. Cobb, actor Rory Calhoun, and author Eddie Bunker.

Apparition du tube fluorescent. This is basically a trailer for sims 4 discover university mixed with the extreme violence mod. Here are some facts about the boys who are buried out behind the Preston School of Industry. The information you find here is either from my book, Behind The Walls" or added information that has come to light during my continued research and investigating since the book was published. Some of the newer information that is listed here, I had previously posted on my "Behind The Walls" Facebook Page within the last year or so. Although I do not go into full detail in this post on all the deaths of the boys, I will more than likely dedicate more blogs to each of the boys in the future. Below you will find a list of all the boys buried at the cemetery, along with their dates of birth and death. THE FIRST TWO DEATHS AT PRESTON- WHAT REALLY HAPPENED? According to the Biennial Report dated August 1, 1896, Preston School of Industrys Physician A. L. Adams report states that given the conditions the boys were in when committed to the? school, they were not surprised by the high rate of “hospital inmates” as he put it. In fact, he speaks of the entire facility have been exposed to some of the worst illnesses including, incipient phthisis, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, epidemic influenza, tonsillitis, malarial fever and pneumonia as well is chronic illnesses such as epilepsy, chorea and the regular fractures, bruises, abscesses and contusions. What I found quite interesting is the fact he speaks of having only two deaths since the school opened and that no d eaths occurred that year (1896) thus the two deaths occurred during 1895. He goes on to state that the death rate was remarkably low due to the fact most of the boys were in poor health when arriving at Preston despite their lifestyles, habits and “general dissipation”. He goes on to state, “ One death was due to an accidental burn, resulting in intestinal ulceration, and one was caused by pulmonary congestion- was sick when he entered the School. Each was accorded decent interment on the grounds of the Institution, and their resting-places were properly marked; so that, if in the future their parents or friends so desire, they may be moved to other places for burial. ” According to records that have been out there for many years, in fact even the information I found for my book, the two boys buried in the cemetery behind Preston during 1895 were Adolf Antron and Grant Walker. It was reported that Adolf Antron, who died on February 20, 1895, died from pulmonary edema which corroborates the doctors report. However, Grant Walker died on June 17, 1895 allegedly from typhoid fever … the report says the other ward died from an “ accidental burn, resulting in intestinal ulceration. ” I find this very interesting and wonder what really happened and what other information that has been reported or recorded is in fact, incorrect? Copyright: J. Rubio Ward No. 170, Nicholas Hamilton Nicholas Hamilton was received at The Preston School of Industry in 1895, and he died on May 17, 1898.? The story behind Nicholas Hamilton's death is quite murky. You see, the Biennial Report states that he died from “ pulmonary tuberculosis” ? and that he was kept “ isolated” from all the boys. It also says they used “ strict antiseptic precautions ” to avoid contamination with the other wards, but other aspects to the story make me question the validity of this. If he was so contagious and so ill, why is it that only 6 months earlier he was well enough to attempt to escape? And why did Superintendent O'Brien risk his own health by having such close physical contact with him? A sworn affidavit by Preston's acting physician E. E. Endicott stated: A youth by the name of Nick Hamilton, in an endeavor to escape, had sustained a sprained knee. When called in to attend the injured lad I found him lying in the hospital suffering great pain. I examined the knee and found it badly swollen and inflamed. Dr. A. Adams of Ione had also examined him and confirmed diagnosis. Treatment was at once instituted with a view to relieving the suffering boy, when the Superintendent appeared and desired to examine the injury. He rudely grasped the boys limb, and to our astonishment began vigorously flexing, extending and rotating the limb, heedless of the yells of pain emanating from the tortured boy, his only reply being “LIE STILL, IM BOSS HERE! ”- If he was so ill, wouldn't it have been mentioned in the affidavit? It might have even helped the case against O'Brien, being that the Superintendent was brutalizing a sick, frail boy. But no, it was never mentioned. That leads me to believe he may not have been ill at all, and that the " confinement " he was sent to, was because the incident with the ward brought shame and scandal on O'Brien and threatened his reputation. Nicholas Hamilton died only 6 months after the scandal broke in the papers. a coincidence? We are left only to speculate now. Deadly Night Swim Here is a photo of the swimming hole at the Preston School of Industry. One of the stories I talk about in my book, Behind The Walls. was the drowning of Tehema Vann on the evening of June 6, 1914. According to official ?reports, the boys from Company I went down to the pond to swim about twenty minutes after finishing their supper. Captain Enright told the boys if they weren't good swimmers, to stay at the shallow end of the pond. Tehama claimed that he could swim "dog fashion" just before he dove in head first. The boys who witnessed the incident said that he came up once for air and raised his hands and arms in a panic just before he went under and never surfaced again. Two boys, Robert Rains and Albert Rubidoux tried to dive in after him, to no avail. It wasn't until the next morning that they were able to retrieve his lifeless body that had sunk to the bottom of the pond. Tehama is among the boys buried in the Preston School of Industry Cemetery behind the Administration Building. Newsclipping The Death of Sam Goins One story you may have heard while looking into the Preston School history, is the story of Sam Goins. Goins was an African American inmate who was shot by John Kelly or J. Kelley (also seen spelled? as Kelly. According to the Amador Ledger, dated April, 19, 1919 entitled “Guard Kills P. S. I. Escape” states: “Samuel Goins, colored, an inmate of the Preston School was fatally shot by guard J. Kelley last Saturday. Goins escaped from the school the day before and the guards found him at the Thornton Ranch. He threatened to kill anyone who attempted to take him. Kelly, failing to halt him by command, fired to hit him in the leg, but just as he pressed the trigger, Goins stooped to go under a wire fence and the bullet struck him in the back. He lived several hours, and before dying, exonerated the guard, declaring he alone was to blame for the affair. Kelly was acquitted by the coroners inquest held Tuesday. The funeral was held in Ione, Wednesday. Goins was a native of North Carolina, aged 20 years. He went to the school from Alameda County for burglary. Samuel Goins was just two months shy of being released when he attempted his third escape. It was reported in the newspapers that ward Joe Lopez, who was with Goins when he died, testified on J. Kellys behalf at the inquest. However, the inquest records state that his name was actually Joe Acosta. Acosta claimed that Goins, “tripped going over the fence and he got shot after he tripped over. ” The Circumstances Surrounding Frank Aljers' Death It has been somewhat of a mystery as to how Frank Aljers (aka Alves) a ward at the Preston School of Industry, died from an abscess of the brain; caused by a motorcycle accident in 1922. In "Behind The Walls" I mentioned his death briefly in Chapter 10, as he is one of the 18 boys buried behind the Castle in the Preston Cemetery. After speaking to historian John Lafferty on this subject a while back, he informed me that he uncovered that the accident that caused Frank's inj uries happened on March 28, 1922, in his hometown of Fruitville, California. He arrived to Preston on May 6, 1922 in poor condition and went straight to the school's hospital, where he died a week later. It is unknown what he was sent to Preston for and why they would admit him when his health was in such a bad state, but now we know more of the circumstances that led to his death. To learn more about these boys as well as the rest of the Preston School of Industry's history, please keep reading this blog, check out my Facebook page and get a copy of my book, Behind The Walls" today!

Has anybody seen this? Is it any good. Apparition youtube. The 46, 000-square-foot Preston Castle has 77 rooms and no fewer than 43 fireplaces and 257 windows. IONE Dad always told me if I didnt behave ? “clean up my act” were his exact words, actually ? that I would end up in a place like this. Meaning, reform school. Meaning, Id get pummeled by some kid whose crimes far exceeded my rap sheet of sassing back and chronic failure to clean my room. Meaning, I would regret how good I once had it at home. Until recently, I had managed to avoid such a fate. But when I finally set foot into the Preston Castle, the crumbling yet still regal brick building on a hill looking over this Amador County burg, and heard stories, absolutely hair-curling tales, of life and times of “youthful offenders” in the euphemistically dubbed Preston School of Industry from 1894 to 1960, it certainly made me appreciate that I did, indeed, clean up my act enough to be spared the indignities of forced confinement. A 10 tour, courtesy of the Preston Castle Foundation, lays bare the harsh life behind the castle walls and how, for some, it changed their lives for the better. Youll see the floor ? yes, the hygienically dubious floor ? where doctors performed operations before 1913, the year someone finally had the notion that a gurney might be a better surface on which to cut someone open. Youll ogle the dunking baths, where a rich chemical stew once was used to purge each newly shaved-headed boy of lice and dignity. Youll stroll through the stark institutional green dormitory where Company B, the real incorrigible hard cases, slept in row upon row of flimsy mattresses and shared just one lidless toilet. And youll see the basement kitchen area where, in 1950, cook and housekeeper Anna Corbin was bludgeoned to death by a boy who either was training to be a food critic or had some anger-management issues. Or both. Then again, life here wasnt all unrelenting grimness. After all, these young wards of the state got three squares a day and a roof over their heads, which is more than many could say for their life on the outside, especially during the Depression years when desperate parents were known to dump their charges at the castle as if it were some day care-slash-boarding school. These boys, ages 7 to 18, had a tennis court and a rose garden. They had a 7, 000-book library with a veranda overlooking the town. The more docile and agreeable boys were even able to live in cottages ringing the castle and learn trades more socially acceptable, if not as lucrative, than hot-wiring cars or burglarizing homes. Sure, many still tried to escape and were recipients of corporal punishment that today would be considered barbaric and certainly litigable, but many Preston boys went on to great things and productive lives, counting among its distinguished alumni singer Merle Haggard, actors Rory Calhoun, Lee J. Cobb and Eddie Anderson (Rochester on “The Jack Benny Show”) and tennis star Pancho Gonzales. This much is certain: The boys lived in some tricked-out digs, a 46, 000-square-foot, 77-room mansion with no fewer than 43 fireplaces, 257 windows overlooking the tawny Amador County foothills, a tower festooned on each side by intimidating gargoyles, hallways bedecked with ornate wainscoting and a rutilant sandstone exterior in the Romanesque Revival architectural style. Its all pretty much trashed now. Dont blame the wards. They, by all historical accounts, kept the place spic and span. Its the state that helped turn Preston Castle into a looters haven, stripping the place of almost everything not tied down and much that was after the 1960 closure. And now, its the nonprofit Preston Castle Foundation ? which just a few months ago was gifted the deed to the property after nearly two decades of wrangling with the state ? thats trying to rehabilitate the structure just as the boys were hoped to be rehabilitated in days of yore. The first step, of course, is fundraising. Ask members of the foundation, which has leased the castle since 1997, how much will be needed to restore the castle, and they throw out figures between 15 million and 30 million. This is eyebrow-raising until you actually step into Preston and see what decades of neglect have wrought. Some walls are stripped of, well, walls. They are reduced to exposed beams, like the grin of a partially toothless hillbilly. Ceilings sag, floors buckle, stairs creak like the knees of an arthritic old man on a rainy day. Those 43 fireplaces? Stripped of their hand-carved mantles made from rosewood. The marble flooring and sinks? They probably now are spit-polished and shiny and adorn any number of homes in the region. “When they closed the place, the state told (its) workers, ‘You can get your friends and anybody can come up and take what you want from the castle because were going to demolish it, ” said Donnie Page, Preston Castle Foundation docent. “But they didnt demolish it. Still, they took all the molding, even the fire hoses. You know Firehouse restaurant down in Old Sac? Remember that beautiful spiral metal staircase they got there? That belongs on the fourth floor here going to the tower. The state even took and sold all the slate roofing. We finally got a roof back on it in 2001. ” Page just shrugged when tour members literally gasped at the cravenness of state-sanctioned stripping such a statuesque building for profit. Whats done is done, he said, and now comes the restoration stage. Not waiting for the high-rolling donors to pony up, the foundation has opened the castle to tours on weekends and select Thursdays. They draw a steady stream of the curious, those who have driven past the site on Highway 104 and wonder about the interior and the backstory. Quite a backstory it is, too. Page, a garrulous sort who moved to Ione after a career at the Sacramento City Unified School District, enjoys regaling visitors with tales from the past ? the good and the bad and the spectral. Yes, like many an old, abandoned building, the Preston Castle is said to be haunted by ghosts, not just the tortured soul of the murdered Anna Corbin but some of the 17 boys whose graves line the sites cemetery. But the history of the castle is baroque and Dickensian enough even without ghosts. Page delights in telling about the crude conditions early on in the infirmary, which apparently was a busy place, especially in the first two decades of the 20th century. The 1918 flu epidemic affected nearly half the Preston staff and a third of the boys, Page said. Those not flu-stricken often began their matriculation at Preston battling TB or the effects of addiction to opium, alcohol or heroin. “Life was tough here, ” he said. Especially if you needed an operation before 1913. “Somewhere on this floor is where theyd do the operations, ” Page told the tour members, asking them to wander around the dusty concrete floor until they found the spot. It turned out to be in the far right corner, near a set of double windows. “The light from this window was so great, the doctor) could do it right here (without electricity. ” Cleanliness seemed to matter a little more when the boys checked in upon arrival. They were herded through a side door, shorn of their hair, stripped and led to a pool of harsh chemicals. With only a pole for support, they were made to walk, with their heads underwater, about 6 feet to the pools far end to rid their bodies of potential pests. “I call it a cattle dip, ” Page said. “A lot of these boys had open sores. I dont know how (this procedure) didnt kill em. Can you imagine the pain if you have an open sore on your head? The state eventually stopped that for inhumane reasons. ” Humanity did exist ? see: tennis, the library, gardening ? but that hardly made it a country club-like existence. But the boys tried to liven things up. Page tells one story about how the rose garden seemed to be quite popular one summer among wards who showed a great interest as budding horticulturists. Turns out, a tribe of youthful entrepreneurs had a marijuana crop growing amid the roses. Escape attempts, too, happened pretty much every week. A horn would sound in downtown Ione when it was discovered another Preston boy had flown the coop ? there was no barbed-wire fencing around the vast acreage ? and a manhunt would ensue. “You got a 10 reward if you turned a kid in, ” Page said. The young Merle Haggard made a break for it twice in the early 1950s, Page said. The first time, he and a buddy planned it six weeks in advance, shimmying down a fire escape and off into downtown Ione. Haggard, who apparently was as dexterous with car doors and engines as he would later be with guitar strings, sprinted toward the closest car he could find, jumped in, hot wired in it less than a minute and hit the gas pedal. “But he didnt notice the cars owner had chained it to a tree, ” Page said. Haggard hid in a cubby hole nearby the stalled car, as the police began their search. The police chiefs young son, the story goes, was about at eye level with the crouching Haggard. The two locked eyes. Haggard put his finger to his lips to shush the child. The boy ratted him out anyway. As Haggard later wrote in his autobiography, the last thing he remembered from that escape attempt was looking over his shoulder as he was being led away and seeing the little boy wagging his finger at him. “The next time Merle escaped, ” Page continued, “he stole the police chiefs car and got all the way to Fresno before he was caught and brought back. ” And what punishment did escapees face? “Contrary to what they said at the time, the boys were beaten, severely punished, ” Page said. “Boys were whipped and thrown in solitary confinement. It was pretty bad. ” The Preston Foundation has reached out to Haggard to perhaps stage a benefit concert. For some reason, Haggard reportedly declined the invitation. “He wants nothing to do with this place because of
