Ghost Walks

Just about once a month from March until November my husband and I lead ghost walks. I have been leading ghost walks for about 5 years now. It usually is a ton of fun, it has been scary once or twice, and it has been fascinating every time, even when we don't find things. Besides Spirits we have found deer, owls and people looking for a quiet place to do who knows what.....

Our trip to Waverly was awesome, and I would do it again,and most likely will. It gave me the opportunity to play ball with an unseen child, rolling a ball around the floor of the children's wing. There were many experiences there from noises, to black shadow people, to goosebumps. It would be a great place to take people to, but not many want to stay up all night long. It does get a little difficult around 4 AM if things are quieting down.

Someone emailed about our ghost walk tomorrow and asked if they would see or hear something....the answer is "I have no idea". Sometimes things are very busy at the cemetery. From  children singing nursery rhymes , noises that are loud and sharp that are right next to you, and black shadow people flitting about, to shooting lights, and voices saying things like "I am so cold",to chanting the name of an interred person over and over.

We have found that there are things that contribute to a good ghost walk. The moon and weather make a difference, the group size (smaller is better), and type of group (it needs to be QUIET). When there are people who are truly open, they get attention, when they disbelieve , usually 
the spirits don't waste their time.

I wish we had more equipment, and maybe someday we will. But as it is, it is always interesting.

Spirits however come and go as they please. They don't come out just becasue I show up. I have seen black shadow people twice in the daytime (in basically the same spot) at an area cemetery where we are walking tomorrow night (weather permitting, it may rain).

Ghost walks aren't for the timid. We did one once where I could barely move because I had a person attached to me. They are a good first step if you want to see if you are cut out for ghost hunting though. People who are scared tend to want to bolt. Running through grave markers in the dark is a very bad idea and a good way to get hurt.

We act very respectfully and say prayers going in and out of the cemetery. We do not do a bunch of protection, as we don't want to ward off what we are there to see and feel. We do sometimes end up in there for hours, and sometimes it is a quick walk if it is quiet.

Join us if you like, but please contact me first we do try to keep our group small, so we don't frighten the ghosts away......

NOTE: If you are going alone or in a small group to cemeteries be very careful, they seem to have become a place to do , sell, and manufacture drugs. You don't want to stumble upon a meth lab in the dark
