WOOOO!

Ok, here's the story. Madame Mandy is my ghost story friend. i like to hear ghost stories, especially true ones, she likes to tell ghost stories, especially true ones. I was dismayed that I had missed every bit of a Scariest Places on Earth marathon, which means another year for me to forget that the family channel does this every year.

So we've been meaning to take a ghost tour around town for some time now. IT seems that Carnton Plantation has a ghost tour a few times a year. I really wanted to take this because the house was used as a Confederate hospital during the ultra-bloody Battle of Franklin and with all that energy there had to be good stories. Sure enough, there were. Over the course of two hours we toured the house and the cemetary and heard stories both touching and terrifying.

None of my pictures really turned out that well. There's this one and a couple of polaroids but nothing at all spectral.

It should be noted that I don't believe I've ever had a ghost encounter. There are stories that some may consider as such but I have written them off as tricks of the mind or that sort of thing. Certainly nothing full on when I'm in full consciousness. This is why I love hearing ghost stories, especially from people who I believe to be credible (like Mandy).

Anyway, feel free to send me real ghost stories if you have them. Like I said, I really do enjoy hearing, or in this case reading, them.

My halloween costume will be me circa 1993. No joke. I still have this crazy hideous dress I lived in most of senior year, plus my green docs, plus this gigantic green cardigan I pretty much wore every day from 8th or 9th on through graduation.
