A lovely couple got married this past weekend in New Orleans, so we went and had an amazing time. I'm sure I'll elaborate on all that later. For now, I just want to show you something....

Everybody stayed at Hotel Provincial, which is a little off Bourbon Street. (We wanted to be able to sleep at night!) Apparently, this hotel has quite a history and is very popular with ghost hunters. There are quite a few stories - ranging from bloody soldiers lying in pain and moaning, footsteps, screams, being grabbed, etc.

I had heard these stories and didn't really think much about it. Until I noticed something on the wall of my room. More specifically, the words "HELP ME!" You can only see it from one spot in the room and the light had to be shining just right. As a result, it was really hard to take a picture of. The word "HELP" didn't show up at all, but hopefully you can see the word "ME."

It wasn't paint, it wouldn't wipe off/smear and it wasn't raised at all. It was just shiny words. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for it, but that wouldn't be nearly as interesting, would it?

I saw it with my own eyes. Creepy stuff, kid.

oooooooooh - creepy! If only you knew how to help them! Just about every house here on base is haunted, so we have ghost stories aplenty. Our ghost likes to turn on the radio. And "bump" into us. It's odd to be walking and suddenly bump into something invisible. Fun stuff!

I'd say it was probably laundry detergent or clear nail polish, but, even if it were just a clever prank, I'd hate to take the creepy magic out of it! EEEEEeeerie!

I stayed in a haunted hotel in San Antonio. I was sitting there watching TV, knitting, and all of a sudden the room got really cold. Then the curtains started moving. It was really creepy. It only lasted a minute then everything was fine. I looked and there was no way for the curtains to move. Didn't sleep very peacefully there!
