Ghostly Voice Saves Toddler After 14 hours
On March 7, four police officers descended into the icy banks of the Spanish Fork River in Utah, investigating reports of an overturned car within its freezing current. Once on the scene, they were guided to the crash site by a soft woman’s voice calling for help from the vehicle, according to the Associated Press (AP).
The AP reports when officers reached the overturned vehicle they discovered only two passengers: The female driver, Lynn Groesbeck, dead in the front seat and 18 month-old Lily Groesbeck dangling securely in the back. It is estimated that the car had been submerged just over a day. The baby was unconscious but alive. After righting the car and freeing the infant, rescuers quickly began treatment, saving her life.
Police say there is no clear cause for the accident, toxicology reports are still pending, and there is no suspicion drugs or alcohol; the road had no skid marks or obstructions. The wreckage was found beneath a cement bridge, hidden from the heavy traffic above. It is estimated that Lynn Groesbeck smashed into the cement barrier, flipping the car up and over the bridge and into the icy river below.
Tyler Beddoes was one of the four officers on scene who helped firefighters transfer the infant, dressed only in a flannel onesie, from the icy water to the safety of the paramedics. Lily is recovering, he said, opening her eyes and doing well.
Afterwards, the four officers got together and discussed the voice they heard coming from the car when they reached the crash site. Beddoes says that they all concurred hearing the woman’s cry for help but cannot explain it; the child’s mother had died in the crash.
“That’s the part that really sends me for a whirl,” Beddoes said. “I’m not really religious, but that’s what you think of.”
Beddoes, a 30-year-old father of two says that it is a miracle that the infant survived, and wonders if the baby had been crying most of the night.
He is still perplexed at the voice, and after the tumultuous events of that morning, Beddoes met with the other rescuers to discuss what they had heard:
“We all got together and we all heard the same type of thing, “Beddoes said, “We just can’t grasp what we were hearing.”

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed
The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.
Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.
The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.
Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”
Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power
Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.
Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.
Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.
There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.
The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
