haunted places

My Step Gramma Mary ran one of the Boarding houses for Mooseheart in Chicago. I went there one Christmas and stayed in an empty room. It had 24 rooms meant for girls to stay in, and then a great room and dining room and sleeping quarters for Mary.
While everyone downstairs wa sleeping I was lying awake upstairs listening to all kinds of stuff. Clunking, footsteps, giggles, and other whatnots that you can think of…24 doors also. I tried to tlak aobut it the next day and my father told me I was nuts, they didn’t hear a sound. I slept the whole 2 and a half hours home in the Explorer. Gramma told me years later that what I heard was probably the truth since dhe had heard it before and after our visit… 8)
It was fun…sorta. 😆

hahahahahahaha!!! I had daydreams while reading that about the Griggs Mansion of me laying in bed listening to the footsteps and finally saying “STOP MAKING ALL THAT RACKET- I’m trying to sleep for Christ’s sake!” and then with the window- it being open and cold out and kindly asking whatever presence in the room to please shut the window because it was cold and then the window shutting slowly and me saying “I can’t see you (and probably don’t want to) but thank you” then blowing a kiss and going back to whatever I was before I felt the draft.

I’d probably be creeped out but if they wer ein any way manageable that would be fine :p

😆 Probably.

I work in theatre and supposedly most theatres have some sort of haunt. My personal experiance is that one of the theatres at my College had a ghost that liked to drop pot lights (no one ever got hit) during the Strike (teardown) of the show. The pot lights are welded into the roof at that is about 10feet above the Grid where the theatre lights are hung. This has happened something like once a year over 10 or more years.

Also at a theatre I worked for out on Vancouver Island you could periodically look up at the Booth (where the Lights and Sound are controlled from) and see one or 2 dark shapes sitting behind the Stage Manager. When we asked him who was up he swore that no one had been up there with him. It was kind of creeepy, but at least all those ghosts ever did was watch the show!

Im still skeptical. I have honestly never met anyone who has seen a ghost that I would not consider a little loopy. Not that they are not nice/cool to hang with… I just dont think they are reliable when it comes to that.

My mom insists she sees ghosts, too. Mostly of her animals that have passed. I just wonder how come I have never seen them? (And yes, I def consider my mom “loopy.” 😛

And being called “loopy” doesn’t bother me, ’cause I am loopy!!! 😆 😆 😆 Good point. I would believe if I saw… Of course.. I kinda dont want to see cuz that would be scary 😯
