Interesting evening in Gettysburg. As soon as I checking into the Farnsworth House, purported to be the most haunted hotel in the most haunted city ever! (they always say that). I noticed a group of people congregating outside the building. They were getting ready for a "ghost walk" of haunted Gettysburg locations so naturally, I filed in behind them pretending to be a "paid up" member of their group. Well, the first place the guide took them was outside my bedroom door. Ok...I deserve to get this tour free!! Evidently, lots of wounded civil war soldiers spent time in my room.
There were several bullet holes on the side of this building. we walked around town for two hours visiting several ghostly places but my favorite was this huge grassy area were several confederate soldiers are suppose to still be buried. Evidently, they buried them where they found them. There have been several sightings of a civil war soldier who roams the grounds. Even our tour guide saw him on two occasions. (uh huh!) I remember seeing this on You Tube so it must be true. Here are a couple of interesting pictures I took. I took each of these pictures all within 30 seconds.
This picture freaked the guy out when I showed it to him.Check out the cool orb hovering over his head
Here's the part I don't want you to tell my sister (she'd just worry about me) After everyone went home and the city was deserted, I went to my room, gathered all of my ghost equipment and walked back to this "ghosts on the green" area so I could conduct a serious investigation. Okay, so this wasn't the smartest thing in the world. The area was pitch black and abutted a dark eerie haunted forest which abutted the state park with all of the war monuments and historical landmarks. I was there maybe 20 minutes and started feeling a tiny bit scared. There were many bushes that men who like 59 year old women could hide so I went back to my hotel to have some wine. Here is the You Tube video that I saw that was taken at this spot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xlyofmznOs
I did not experience any paranormal activity in my room and considered asking for my money back. (They promised!)
The next morning, I missed my free breakfast because I overslept and the waitress dressed in period clothes snapped at me when I asked for juice and coffee. She said "no drinks or food in the room" I'm sure she didn't mean my box of wine which is the equivalent of 4.5 bottles. (easy to transport from one haunted B & B to the next.
I just made a reservation for the Century Inn in Scenary Hill, PA which is also suppose to be haunted. I asked her for her most haunted room so she gave me the most expensive room. Hmmm, is there a message here?
So cool, glo!
ReplyDeleteThe big orb looks like someone threw a lagre CD into the air but the smaller orbs are interesting. Don't tell your sister but I think going into the night alone in a strange town is brave...crazy...stupid...an sooooooo you! Don't do anything I wouldn't do! Love you!
