Zak Bagans Exorcism Box, Journal Are Mine ... Terrifying Backstories!!!

Zak Bagans is exercising his right to scare the crap out of folks at his Haunted Museum ... by bringing in some creepy-ass artifacts from famous exorcisms!!!
The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ ... he recently got his hands on the fabled "Exorcism Box," which was used during the 1970s real-life exorcisms of Anneliese Michel ... whose story is the inspiration behind 2005's "The Exorcism of Emily Rose."
Zak tells us he got the box from filmmaker Christopher Saint Booth, who wanted to get rid of it after a disturbing experience, to put it mildly. While he had the box, Booth says he felt something growing inside him, and a doctor determined the growth contained teeth and stem cells.
Booth says he had an archbishop exorcise the box ... and while doing so, he saw a dark figure dart past him. Booth believes it was Anneliese, who died way back in 1976 following 67 catholic exorcism rites.
Zak says Booth told him the archbishop saw the figure too, which appeared to have Anneliese's face, and it was shaking uncontrollably as if being pushed away from the box by a dark energy. Booth believes the "Exorcism Box" absorbed all the energy from Anneliese's exorcisms.
If that doesn't give you enough chills ... Zak also obtained a copy of the infamous Exorcist Diary, which inspired the 1974 movie "The Exorcist."
There are only 6 copies of the diary, 2 of which remain in a vault at the Vatican. The diary documents a 3-month period of exorcisms on a 13-year-old boy in St. Louis way back in 1949 and includes a map of Hell.
Zak says Booth had the diary while working on a documentary called "The Exorcist File" ... and Booth says he felt very oppressed and suicidal whenever the diary was nearby.
And, get this ... Zak says Booth told him he had the diary with him in a hotel room when he saw a horned, shadowy figure appear just before something scratched his ankle and pulled him out of bed. 😱
Since bringing the items to his Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, Zak says countless guests are refusing to enter the new Exorcism Room Exhibit before they even know what's inside ... with some saying they felt light-headed.
Zak is not new to the exorcism world -- he filmed the 100th episode of "Ghost Adventures" in the house where the notorious St. Louis exorcism was performed.
It's a timely acquisition for Zak with Halloween lurking, and "The Exorcist: Believer" just hitting theaters.
No thanks. Nope. No way. But, that's just us.

ZAK BAGANS La caja de exorcismo es mía... ¡¡Espeluznantes historias!!

Zak Bagans está ejerciendo su derecho a asustar a la gente en su Museo Embrujado, ¡¡¡trayendo algunos famosos artefactos para practicar exorcismos a su colección!!!
La estrella de "Ghost Adventures" le dice a TMZ que recientemente adquirió una "caja de exorcismo" que se utilizó en los exorcismos de Annalise Michel en los infames años 70, y cuya historia inspiró la película "El exorcismo de Emily Rose".
Zak nos dijo que consiguió la caja del cineasta Christopher Saint Booth, quien quería deshacerse de ella después de una experiencia perturbadora.
Booth dice que mientras tenía la caja consigo sintió que algo raro crecía dentro de él y un médico determinó que ese crecimiento contenía dientes y células madre. Luego le pidió a un arzobispo que la exorcizara, y al hacerlo, vio pasar a una figura oscura que cree era de Annalise, quien murió en 1976 después de 67 ritos de exorcismo católico.
Booth le dijo a Zak que el arzobispo también vio a la figura sacudiéndose incontrolablemente, como si una energía oscura la empujara fuera de la caja. Booth cree que la "caja del exorcismo" absorbió toda la energía de los exorcismos de Annalise.
Zak también nos cuenta que obtuvo una copia del infame Diario del Exorcista, que inspiró la película de 1974, "El Exorcista."
Solo hay seis copias de los diarios, dos de los cuales permanecen en una bóveda en el Vaticano y documenta un período de 3 meses de exorcismos a un niño de 13 años en St. Louis allá por 1949, que también incluye un mapa del infierno.
Zak dice que Booth tuvo el diario mientras trabajaba en un documental llamado "The Exorcist File", y que se sentía muy oprimido y suicida cuando estaba cerca de él.
Y escuchen esto... Booth le dijo que tenía el diario consigo en un hotel cuando vio aparecer una sombra con cuernos, justo antes de ser arañado en el tobillo y sacado de la cama.
Desde que trajo los objetos a su Museo Embrujado de Las Vegas, Zak dice que innumerables visitantes se niegan a entrar en la nueva exposición de la Sala de Exorcismos, antes incluso de saber lo que hay dentro. Algunos dicen haber sido tocados o haberse sentido mareados.
Zak no es nuevo en el mundo del exorcismo. Él fue quien filmó el episodio 100 de "Ghost Adventures" en la casa donde se realizó el famoso exorcismo de St. Louis.
Es una adquisición oportuna para Zak, con Hallowen acercándose y "El Exorcista: Believer" en los cines. En lo que respecta a nosotros, no gracias, de ninguna manera...

El que pronto será el exmarido de Mia Thornton, Gordon, está criticando a la estrella de 'Real Housewife of Potomac' por abandonarlo ahora que tiene problemas financieros, una señal segura de que estaba buscando oro cuando le dio el "sí, quiero".
Gordon Thornton dice a TMZ que Mia solo se comprometió con él porque vio el futuro que podría proporcionarle sus recursos, pero ahora que sus fondos son inaccesibles, ella lo está dejando en busca de una "mejor opción".
Y escuchen esto, Gordon nos dice que le dio a la estrella del reality show un pase libre para tener sexo, porque sabía que no sería capaz de satisfacerla debido a su edad. Él tiene 71 años y recientemente tuvo una cirugía de cáncer de próstata.
Gordon dice que pensó que el pase vendría con un entendimiento abierto y honesto sobre ver a alguien más, pero afirma que todo ha ocurrido a escondidas.
Lo que es más, Gordon dice que ella está mintiendo sobre las razones de por qué lo está dejando y que está cambiando constantemente su historia, lo que agrava aún más la situación.
TMZ dio la noticia, Gordon fue sorprendido cuando Mia presentó la separación legal. Lo que más le molestó fue que Mia hizo parecer que su relación era perfecta en las redes sociales cuando detrás de cámaras estaba preparando los papeles del divorcio.
Gordon nos dice que el comportamiento de Mia está empezando a afectar a sus hijos, y es por eso que ha empezado a hablar en contra de ella.
Dice que no quiere estar asociado a Mia nunca más, a excepción de su situación de co-paternidad, porque no puede confiar en ella. No cree lo que dice ni que lo ame.

Mia Thornton's soon-to-be ex-husband, Gordon, is blasting the 'Real Housewife' for ditching him now that he's in financial trouble -- a sure sign, he says, she was gold digging when she said "I do."
Gordon Thornton tells TMZ ... Mia only tied the knot with him because she saw the future his resources could provide her, but now that his funds are inaccessible, she's leaving him in search of an "upgrade."
And, get this ... Gordon tells us he gave the "Real Housewives of the Potomac" star a hall pass for sex, because he knew he wouldn't be able to satisfy her sexually due to his age -- he's 71, and recently had prostate cancer surgery.
Gordon says he thought the hall pass came with an understanding she would be open and honest with him about seeing someone else ... but he claims she's been sneaking around.
What's more, Gordon says she's lying about why she's leaving him, and is constantly changing her story ... so he's aggravated and wishes she would just be honest.
TMZ broke the story ... Gordon was blindsided when Mia filed for legal separation, and he was peeved she made it seem like their relationship was perfect on social media when behind the scenes she was gearing up to serve him court docs.
Gordon tells us Mia's behavior is now starting to affect their children, which is why he's speaking out against her.
He says he never wants to be associated with Mia again -- save for their co-parenting situation -- in part because he can't trust her, doesn't believe what she says and doesn't believe she loves him.

Matt Barnes Dame's Better Off W/ Bucks Than Heat ... Greater Shot At Title

Matt Barnes feels Damian Lillard getting traded to the Bucks -- instead of his preferred destination of the Heat -- is a blessing in disguise ... telling TMZ Sports he believes the All-Star guard has a better chance at winning an NBA title in Milwaukee than he would in Miami.
The "All The Smoke" podcast host and ex-NBA star gave us his take at the 5th Annual KiKi Shepard Celebrity Golf Classic last week ... and he says even though Lillard didn't end up in South Beach like he reportedly requested, he should be more than thrilled with the outcome.
"I'm excited for Dame," Barnes said. "Obviously he wanted to go to Miami. That didn't happen, but for him to have the opportunity to win, I think is the key and the goal and him teaming up with Giannis [Antetokounmpo] is definitely gonna give him a great opportunity to win a championship."
"I think probably even a better opportunity than he would had in Miami."
Of course, some fans might not agree -- the Heat have been to the NBA Finals twice since the 2020 season ... and Jimmy Butler is one of the best playoff players in the league.
However, Butler, coach Erik Spoelstra and the Heat came up short both times ... where the Bucks made the Finals and won in 2021 -- their first appearance in over four decades.
"Bucks are high," Barnes said. "It's gonna be a fun season."
"The East is very strong and the West is strong so I'm really excited for the season to get started."

El Exorcista: Creyente Flojo comienzo de taquilla... Tras una inversión de 400 millones de dólares
La nueva película de "El exorcista" no está recaudando tanto dinero como le gustaría a su estudio, lo que no es una gran noticia teniendo en cuenta que se gastaron casi 500 millones de dólares para ponerla en marcha.
Las cifras de taquilla del primer día de "El exorcista: Believer', de David Gordon Green, son, cuando menos, decepcionantes, con solo 11,9 millones de dólares recaudados el viernes, lo que incluye unos 2,8 millones de dólares en los preestrenos del jueves.
A este ritmo, la proyección para el fin de semana de 3 días es de unos 28 millones de dólares en el país, que es inferior a las estimaciones iniciales para esta película de terror, que estaban en torno a los $30 y $35 millones.
Por supuesto, cuando la película de Taylor Swift se estrene la semana que viene, es casi seguro que borrará del mapa a "El exorcista: Believer', por lo que en general, esta última entrega, o eboot no parece estar en camino a hacer grandes ganancias. Y eso es preocupante para Universal.
¿La razón? El estudio gastó una fortuna para obtener los derechos de la franquicia 'El Exorcista', más de 400 millones de dólares, y están planeando producir otras dos secuelas después de esta. A pesar de las malas críticas y de la decepcionante taquilla, puedes apostar a que seguirán adelante con el plan: han gastado demasiado dinero para no hacerlo.
Para colmo, el nuevo filme está siendo vapuleado por la crítica, con una puntuación del 23% en Rotten Tomatoes.
'Exorcist: Believer' Sluggish Box Office Start ... After $400M Investment
The new 'Exorcist' movie isn't raking in as much dough as its parent studio would like -- which isn't great news considering almost half a billion dollars was spent to get it going.
Here's the deal ... the first-day box office numbers for David Gordon Green's 'Exorcist: Believer' are in -- and they're underwhelming to say the least ... just $11.9 million from Friday's haul, which includes about $2.8 million in Thursday previews.
At this pace, the projection for the 3-day weekend is about $28 million domestically ... which is lower than what the initial estimates had this horror flick making, about $30-$35 million.
Of course, when the Taylor Swift movie comes out next week ... it's almost sure to wipe 'Exorcist: Believer' completely off the map -- so, big picture, this latest installment/reboot doesn't appear to be on track for major gains ... and that's troubling for Universal.
The reason ... the studio spent a fortune to attain the rights to the 'Exorcist' franchise -- upwards of $400 million -- and they're planning on cranking out 2 more sequels after this. Despite poor reviews and an underwhelming box office, you can bet they're gonna chug right along and crap those out in the next few years -- they spent way too much $$$ not to.
Adding insult to injury, this new requel is getting panned by critics. It's got a 23% RT score.

Dance Craze Louisiana HS Student Twerks On Video ... School Principal Punishes Her
School officials in one Louisiana town must really hate twerking.
Just ask Kaylee Timonet who was filmed happily shaking her booty at a homecoming after-party -- causing the Walker HS senior to lose her scholarship endorsement and her title as president of the school's government association.
Walker HS principal Jason St. Pierre meted out the punishment after he saw Kaylee's video on social media and was apparently super offended, according to "Unfiltered With Kiran," a blog that first reported the news.
Kaylee told the blogger she was just having some harmless fun at the bash with her friends -- one of whom shot the clip and posted it online -- not knowing St. Pierre would take retribution.
Kaylee said she was summoned to St. Pierre's office at school days later and was dressed down by him for twerking, causing her to burst out in tears.
“They basically told me I should be ashamed of myself and that they were concerned about my afterlife if I wasn’t following basically God’s ideals, which made me cry even more,” Kaylee said, adding, “I felt like my life was over.”
Kaylee went on to say St. Pierre removed her scholarship application, despite her 4.2 grade point average, and then booted her from the school's government association.
But, things aren't so bleak for Kaylee. Her small community in Walker has rallied around her, giving her much-needed support. Neighbors are now selling t-shirts with the slogans, “Let the Girl Dance” and “I stand with Kaylee Timonet."

Charlotte Sena Kidnapping Suspect Allegedly Eyed Lawsuit Settlement ... Late Grandad Awarded $2.2 Million
The alleged abductor of 9-year-old Charlotte Sena held her for ransom to get his hands on a portion of a multimillion dollar settlement, according to a new report.
Craig Ross was aware Sena's late grandfather, Patrick, was awarded $2.2 million after he was severely injured in a sledding accident and sued the town of Greenfield, New York, in 1998, the Daily Mail reported. Patrick passed away in 2015, but his sizable payout lives on in his family and was common knowledge among locals like Ross.
Ross allegedly kidnapped Sena and demanded the $50,000 ransom in a note he left at her parent's house because he was "struggling financially," his ex-girlfriend, Amanda Preece, told The Mail.
Preece said the ransom money would have set up Ross for up to five years. She also called Ross a "mooch" because he never wanted to work for money and lived off his mother and girlfriends.
Preece went on to say she believes Ross is "evil" and had been stalking Charlotte and planning her kidnapping for a while.
Last Saturday, Ross allegedly snatched Sena as she rode her bike in Moreau Lake State Park, while the girl was on vacation with her parents in upstate New York.
Police say Ross drove to Sena's home and stuffed the ransom note into her mailbox as investigators were staking out the location.
Cops eventually arrested Ross in his trailer on his mom's property, and he was charged with kidnapping.

Ariana Grande, Dalton Gomez Divorce Settled Prenup and Payout

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have made quick work out of their divorce, settling up just weeks after they filed to end their marriage.
There weren't a whole lot of contentious issues ... there was a prenup, and, as we reported when we broke the story, Ariana cut Dalton a check ... and according to the settlement Dalton will receive $1,250,000, tax-free. Dalton is getting the money upfront, so there will be no spousal support.
Dalton will also receive 1/2 of the net proceeds from the sale of their L.A. home. And, Ariana will pay up to $25,000 of Dalton's attorney's fees.
A source close to the situation tells us, "There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in lockstep with one another."
The settlement is standard operating procedure for Ariana's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, who tries -- usually successfully -- to quickly settle even the most contentious divorces. You'll recall, she recently settled the bitter divorce between Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner.
The settlement has been filed with the court, and all that's left is for the judge to sign and they will be single again.
Ariana is in deep with her newest boo, "Wicked" co-star Ethan Slater, and we're told Dalton is dating as well.
The date of separation on the divorce docs is February 20, but they didn't file for divorce until last month.
We're told the 2 are parting company with no hard feelings, so it's as clean as it can be.

Ariana Grande y Dalton Gomez han resuelto rápidamente su divorcio, llegando a un acuerdo apenas unas semanas después de que presentaran la demanda para poner fin a su matrimonio.
En este caso, no había un montón de cuestiones polémicas, sino un acuerdo prenupcial, tal como informamos cuando dimos la noticia. Ariana firmará un cheque, que según el acuerdo, correspondería a $1,250,000, libres de impuestos. Dalton está recibiendo el dinero por adelantado, por lo que no habría manutención conyugal.
También recibirá la mitad de los ingresos netos de la venta de su casa de Los Ángeles. Y Ariana pagará hasta $25.000 de los honorarios del abogado de Dalton.
Una fuente cercana a la situación nos dice: "Todavía hay un fuerte amor mutuo y respeto entre Ariana y Dalton y querían asegurarse de que todo se hiciera bien".
El acuerdo es el procedimiento operativo estándar para la abogada de Ariana, la experta Laura Wasser, que utiliza para resolver rápidamente incluso los divorcios más polémicos, por lo general con éxito. Como recordarán, recientemente resolvió el amargo divorcio de Kevin Costner y Christine Baumgartner.
El acuerdo ha sido presentado en el juzgado y solo falta que el juez lo firme para que vuelvan a estar solteros.
Ariana está muy enganchada con su nuevo amante, el coprotagonista de "Wicked", Ethan Slater, y nos dicen que Dalton también está saliendo con alguien.
La fecha de separación en los documentos es el 20 de febrero, pero no solicitaron el divorcio hasta el mes pasado.
Nos dicen que los dos se separan sin resentimientos, por lo que esta disolución es tan limpia como un divorcio puede ser.

Britney Spears Great Escape to Private Island After Knife Dance Drama
Britney Spears needed some serious rest and relaxation after becoming the target of social media criticism for dancing with knives ... and decided the best place to escape was a private island.
Sources close to the pop star tell TMZ, she and a group of friends took off to the famous Brando hotel in French Polynesia this past weekend.
Britney shared a quick video of herself and some pals in a private plane as they flew over the crystal blue water near the resort.
Fans speculated one of the men onboard the plane, and sitting closest to Britney, could be a new love interest, but our sources say that's not the case ... they're simply acquaintances.
Of course, it's no surprise why Britney might have wanted to escape.
She took a ton of heat for posting multiple videos dancing with knives, a stunt that even prompted a police response for a welfare check. Britney has maintained the knives were fake, but some disagree.
Britney Spears Launches on Cops Who Did Welfare Check After Dancing with Knives
If the Brando sounds familiar ... it's the same spot Beyoncé recently rented out for her birthday during a small break from her "Renaissance" tour. Kim Kardashian also took a group of her closest friends and family members there for her 40th birthday.
The resort features a bunch of private villas, offering anywhere from one to four-bedroom accommodations.
Beyoncé rented out the cream of the crop for her bday bash ... a villa with a private pool which usually goes for about $20,000 per night.
Unclear how much Britney plunked down, but it certainly ain't cheap.

Ring Cameras Offers $1 Million Prize For Alien Footage ... Captured On Our Tech!
Ring, the company known for its doorbell and home security cameras, wants to see proof of alien life ... and is offering up a hefty cash prize for anyone who can capture footage.
The company launched its "Million Dollar Search for Extraterrestrials" this week, offering up a $1M grand prize for anyone who has "unaltered proof of Extraterrestrial life" -- specifically documented on one of its Ring cameras.
Ring says the footage can be of an unearthly being walking around your backyard, or even a UFO pullin' up to your driveway ... but all submitted materials will be looked at by an expert for approval.
Skeptics might see this as an easy challenge from Ring -- putting up big bucks for something that may not be legit ... but for those that buy the strange phenomenon, here's your shot.
In case ya forgot, we spoke with Neil deGrasse Tyson in August about the potential of alien life visiting our planet -- especially as the topic's being taken more seriously in the U.S.
According to Neil, the high-tech world we live in is a reason why he's not so sure UFOs are here ... mostly because the only alleged footage we've seen is grainy as hell! But, Ring's big challenge might put Neil's concerns to rest.
BTW, people who don't have legit proof can still participate for the company's "Out of this World" prize of a $500 Amazon gift card ... as long as you submit a clip of yourself in an Alien costume, or of your best homemade UFO!
