Going Antiquing This Weekend. Think Again?

There is a lot of talk about buying an old object. Their are some that say the "aura" of the person who owned it at one time still possess it. Meaning, they "haunt" the object.
Now, that's why some people will tell you, "No Thanks!" to something "old" your giving them as a gift. Not a very good idea. It's sad when it's a wedding ring or old piece of pottery.
For me, I could understand. It's good to start fresh. Everything your own. No bad vibes will come to you. If you believe this to be true?
But, how many of us can look around our house, right now. How many objects do you see? I would be maddening to think that all these spirits of previous owners are in your house.
So, for me. I'm not into believing this belief. Are you?

There are two books on this subject. I'll have to read them next.

Twitter Post From Dr. Ciarian O'Keeffe Of Most Haunted

I'm still very surprised to see that this is still going on. It's been awhile. But, for those of you that don't remember or don't know about money owed to fans from a cancelled TapsCon. This was a big thing.
So, to see on Dr. O'Keeffe's Twitter this little tidbit:

"is thinking he may as well give up on the $3845 debt he's still owed from TAPSCon 2008. Brent Fair (the organiser)... http://bit.ly/cJO5rl 10:52 PM May 25th via Facebook"

This was a fan that had a sense of humor to a bad situation.

GL BREAKING NEWS: Amityville House For Sale

I think I'll let it speak for itself.

"Amityville Horror' house for sale
May 25, 2010|By Rob Manker, Chicago Tribune reporter

For sale

The house made famous by the 1979 movie "The Amityville Horror" is available. For $1.15 million, you could own the five-bedroom Dutch Colonial in Suffolk County, N.Y., where six members of the real-life DeFeo family were shot and killed by another family member in 1974. The Lutz family moved into the house a year later and lived there for less than a month, moving out in fear of the paranormal activity dramatized in the film and in the Jay Anson book on which it's based. The house has since been remodeled and its address changed to discourage gawkers."

Point Lookout Lighthouse, Scotland, MD

Point Lookout Lightout was built in 1830. Located by the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River.But, even before it's being built. The land itself has a very tragic history. From shipwrecks, Indian massacres, and the Virginia Indian massacring settlers in 1648. Two Keepers (before the lighthouse was built) died there.
But, it's mainly known for the Union Civil War camp that surrounded the Lighthouse during 1862. It was called Camp Hoffman. About 50,000 Confederates were tented there. About 4,000 to 8,000 died at the camp during the war.
As for hauntings? There are plenty. Rag-tag men walking about the land with sunken eyes. And the smell of gunpowder. Voices are heard saying "Get out!". In the lighthouse itself has it's own hauntings. Heavy booted foot steps. A female voice is heard singing. A male and female are seen in the basement. And, a woman is seen in the parlor in a blue dress. Strange lights have been seen.
But the creepiest haunt was told by some people coming in to see the lighthouse. When returning to their car they saw a Confederate soldier seating in the backseat.

Extra Information:
The USS Tulip exploded en route to Washington claiming 57 lives.

The College of Southern MD has a Summer Session 2010 class. Ghost Hunting 101.

And, for all you gamers. Point Lookout Lighthouse is the setting for the video game
Fallout 3-game add on.
