Resting at the Holiday Inn near Niagra Falls

Well, I'm settled at the Holiday Inn (haunted, of course) in Grand Island New York, right next to Buffalo and Niagara Falls.  Since I am a Priority Member (said in a very snobbish tone) I get a river view, some complimentary water and chips and my very own shampoo and conditioner. 

They purportedly have a ghost of a little girl that was killed in a fire on this property in the 1800s that roams the 4th floor.  They recommended doing an investigation at one in the morning which, of course, I will.

My ghost hunting adventure at Hill Manor last night was fun but not the best conditions to conduct a serious investigation.  Imagine if you will, being a ghost, trying to live a normal life, and all of a sudden, one night, 126 people come into your asylum room asking you to "communicate" with them. 

 It was a huge building and they split us up into 5 groups of 25.  We would occupy a certain wing of the haunted manor each hour with one of the "Ghost Hunter" stars as our guides.  There was so much "chit chat", whispering and coughing going on that if a ghost did want to "communicate" you would never know it.  I took tons of pictures but didn't catch anything interesting,   Here is a picture of some of the guys from the TV show.  Check out the huge orbs in the first two photos,    I followed the guy with the white hat on around like a puppy. 

My brother took it upon himself to "enhance" one of the photos that I posted a few days ago.  I actually like this one better as it provides validity to and helps me rationalize the money I'm spending on this trip,  The guys from Ghost Hunters were not amused.

I finally got on the road with a simple plan in mind.  Drive to Lily Dale, New York which purports to be the most haunted entire city in the US.  There are more mediums per capita than anywhere in the US.  However, there are only about 60 homes and almost 50 of those homes have a shingle swinging in their yard that says "medium".  Kind of takes the fun out of it.  I still thought it would be cool to stay in a B & B there but they close up all of the businesses for the winter. 

Out of options,  I decided to drive towards Niagara Falls.  I heard that's haunted too.  It took me forever to get here  because every time I saw a cemetery I would screeeeech on my brakes and pull in.  I'm getting pretty desperate here!!   One cemetery I found had about 300 headstones and every single one of them had an Italian name on it.   Perhaps I didn't get any "electronic voice phenomenon"  because they only speak Italian.  So I changed my strategy and said the only Italian word I know "Caou Baby!!".  since they died in the 1700's, perhaps they were not privy to this vernacular and chose to collectively ignore me.  

Not sure what I'm doing tomorrow,  Maybe actually go to Niagara Falls since I'm here and go on that boat.  I would drive to Canada but the line to go over the border is very long.
