Random Thoughts
Why was my F key sticking yesterday and now it's my D key?
How can every city be the most haunted? Really. I love ghost shows and invariably San Francisco, or Salem, or Chicago or wherever claim to be the country's most haunted cities. It's also the same with the most haunted spots. Gettysburg I can see. Ok I can also FEEL Gettysburg. But the Myrtles Plantation with its 2 girl ghosts and one african american slave. Or how about the Winchester mystery house with its ghostly caretaker. How does one ghost make it most haunted? Just because the house was built crazy doesn't mean it's haunted. Just meant the owner was a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Baltimore has its share of ghosts. Oldest son felt the one aboard the Constellation and I had my run in in the same cemetary where Edgar Alen Poe is burried though not at his gravesite. Also while the Poe House does not claim to be haunted, it does claim to be possessed. And the dungeons at Ft McHenry.... well, I'm glad they are off limits now. We even have a haunted house in Elkridge. In fact Oldest son's kindergarted girlfriend lived in it an dson often has sleep overs at her house. He was very blase about the whole thing, only telling me he new it was haunted once I mentioned it to him. He even told me where the haunting occurred and it matched with what the book on Maryland Ghosts said.
I am all in favor of ghosts but come on people, every city and every house can't be the most haunted.
Last night i ran across the doozy of them all in a show called Extreme Paranormal.
First of all I don't know how good they were as investigators, mostly because they did not call each other "Dude". Watch american ghost shows and invariably it's 'Dude, this" and 'Dude That'. Then they were doing things with holy water candles and something that resembled tv rabbit ears with electricity sparking upwards like a piece of equipment in Frankensteins lab. But I haven't gotten to the best part. And out of all the ghost shows I have ever seen... I have NEVER seen anything like this.
It seems back in the 18somethings, some guy wandered into the town of Bonito, New Mexico and killed 7 random people before he, himself was gunned down. Then for some reason everyone moved out and the town was flooded and now resides at the bottom of Benito Lake. So now the crazed killer is supposed to haunt the lake. So these guys take this boat out into the middle of the lake AT NIGHT and using some gadget found the deepest point where they think the town would be. As if that wasn't stupid enough, they make some kind of floating circle, star shaped something or other with cups nailed to the boards and a burning candle inside each cup. One of the guys gets IN THE WATER AT NIGHT in the middle of this circle and calls the dead guy while the other two "dudes" go back to shore and build a summoning circle with a ring of fire. So there's one idiot out in the water and two inside the circle with their unmentionables at about falme height when the guy in the water decides he has to go UNDER the water. So the circle guys take him his scuba gear, he gets dressed, goes back into the water and then Frick and Frack go BACK TO LAND leaving the guy IN THE WATER ALONE. They didn't see any ghosts tho the underwater guy managed to speak under waterbut there was a wind on the water that had to be the crazed dead gunman because the wind only blew when they mentioned the crazed gunman's name. Talk about a couple plus idiots. You always scuba with a buddy.
Personally I like the British Ghost Hunting team on the Travel channel. Their most used pieve of equipment is a table and a water glass with marbles comin in a close second. They also ask the spirits nicely and their responses are taps or a whistle and ocassional a returned marble and not once did they have to search underwater. I so love Halloween and all the spooky stuf around it.
