Silver City Ghost Town

a trip to a small town in the southern sierras would not be complete without a trip to the local museum or uh ghost town... which apparently is suppose to be literally haunted. and what it is , is an assemblage of authentically old bldgs all brought together and saved from demolition. but what i like is a good story and that is when i really will read all the informational placards looking for hints of some... one was about a guy who escaped capture for weeks up in the piute mountains. upon glancing up into the severe brown mountains and harsh rocks, you can see how amazing that might be given the conditions. the other stories were so/so but when the guy who ran the place started going on about the jail being haunted and all the orbs appearing there, i was like ooo, something to look for! my camera of course found nothing except that it was unusually cold in the jail, the kind of cold that seems unreasonable and out of context, and not at all refreshing, and 2nd my camera battery drained. and later it went back to green and when i went back to the jail it drained again. good times! but probably bcs it was so unnaturally cold. friend, sarah also saw something obstructing her camera view in the jail but when she went to see what it was, it was gone. friend callie was lucky enough to catch some floaty spirit orbs (or so the guy says) with her camera. she took one photo in front of the jail doors and 2 orbs appeared and she took it again without altering her position and they were gone. ooo. also she took this unflattering picture of me below. i am very uncomfortable with the giant orb next to me. and then when i was looking at the photo i first took, before i entered the jail i saw some spooky blue discoloration. of course when the 'i swear this jail is haunted' guy saw them he didn't see the giant orb next to me but now he does and is sending it to an "expert" for confirmation as he says it's "unusual" and sadly he doesn't see the bluish figure inside the shadow of the door but i do... hee. either way. it was a good time. look forward to my next post with some NON-imaginary parade floats and trees!

ooo, ghosts.

Ever since watching Topper, I have wanted to meet some ghosts of my own. Interestingly, last nights episode of Northern Exposure (reruns on public tv) had a ghost in Joel's cabin.
