In Utica New York

Well, as promised, I did do a 1:00 in the morning investigation at the Holiday Inn on Grant Island.  I went out to the Gazebo and took pictures where the little girl has been seen.  I took pictures at the pool and took several pictures on the 4th floor where she tends to be seen.  Again....nothing,  I didn't get any audio or visual.  I was a wee bit disappointed.  To appease myself and to stop pouting, I decided to drive over to Niagara Falls and jump in.   Here are some shots:

View from the US side

Getting ready to cross the bridge into Canada to have lunch where I feasted merrily and realized I left my credit card and most of my $$ in my purse in the trunk of my rental in the United States.  He settled for the $20 that I had with me (the bill was for $30)  I didn't even have the fifty cents to go through the turnstile to get back into the US,  I had to "borrow" it from an unsuspecting stranger. (PS  I called the restaurant when I got back to my car and gave them my credit card number.  What a saint that guy was!)



Taken from the Canadian side 

I gave myself one hour to surf the web in search of a new haunted destination or else!!

So, not knowing quite sure where I was going next or what new adventure awaited, I hopped in my car and headed East.  I heard there were some cool haunted hotels in Syracuse and Utica.  I called the hotel in Syracuse and she said..."oh, our hotel isn't really haunted but I'd be happy to reserve a room for you?"   I hung up. Next!!!    I got in my car and just starting driving.  I decided to take all back roads to avoid tolls because I'm cheap.  I spotted this ancient looking cemetery and pulled in like I owned the joint.  I didn't even have to get out of my car because it was like a "drive through" cemetery.  I just drove really slow with the audio device hanging out the window saying "is there anyone here who would like to communicate with me?  Feel free to talk into this device. Blah blah blah..."  Hell, I didn't even really slow down that much.  Do you think I'm getting jaded? 

Soon I tired of the "Thomas Kincaid" scenery and hopped back on the toll roads.  I drove into Utica and called and made a reservation at an old spooky looking hotel.  Scored!!!!  It's haunted!!  One problemo,...only the 4th floor is haunted and because they want to have all of the patrons close together, they are only using the 5th and 6th floors.  I asked her if they would mind if I investigated the 4th floor in the middle of the night,  She said no problem.  I love this job!! 

I also love this hotel because it reminds me of some of the asylums I have stayed in...I mean investigated.  Check out this cool hotel and the lobby.

Tomorrow I will probably head to Maine or somewhere close by,.
