Ghost Hunters are Wackos
I was reading some blog entries for a local newspaper in Shreeveport about the upcoming paranormal convention this year, Le Festival D’Esprits. One entry stated, “The Wackos are coming. The Wackos are coming.” I’m not really thin-skinned about this. In fact, I find it kind of humorous.
People who try new things are always ahead of their time. They are called crazy, lunatics or a few bricks short of a load. Whether or not paranormal creatures and ghosts really exist is still speculative, but just think of the good laugh everyone will have if their existence is ever proven to be absolutely true. People would finally have to concede that the crazy neighborhood ghost hunting group was right all along- and they had fun doing it.
Personally, I belong to several paranormal groups. We don’t just spend our time ghost hunting. We love talking about paranormal books on the market, television shows, debating the existence of the paranormal, demonology and much more. We have fun simply as friends enjoying each other’s company. (Notice, I keep saying “fun”).
So, for those out there who simply think we’re all wackos, you just don’t get it. We come from all walks of life, are skeptics, as well as believers and most of us are quite simply looking to have a little fun in our humdrum lives.
Quit being a stick in the mud and join us! We won’t bite unless you want us to 
Where are Your Favorite Haunting Grounds?
Since I can’t really do a formal poll to include every haunted place in the world, I thought I’d ask my readers to tell me about their favorite ghost tours that they have ever been on – and I’ll share the results, assuming some of you let me in on your faves.
My personal favorite has been the Savannah Ghost Tours (I’ve been on the walking ones and the Trolley ones). My guides have always been pretty good, and they were willing to answer questions afterwards. Some tours I’ve been on have hustled us on because they had scheduled another one directly after.
I’d also have to give a thumbs up to the Haunted Trolley Tour in Gettysburg as one of the more interesting tours I’ve been on. I got some excellent photos on that particular tour. I also had to stay on the trolley when my son fell asleep on my lap, so the driver told me quite a few stories of his own since he had grown up there. I think those stories were creepier than any I had ever heard from the actual tour guides!
So please, tell me about your experiences and ones that I should definitely go on. I’m gearing up for another summer of travel up and down the Eastern seaboard and the mid-Atlantic states. I’m all ears!
