Rob and Dan waiting for the lights to go out! |
In the previous blog, we were in the basement at the site of the "World's longest poker game." After hearing the history (and my sensing a ghost), we returned upstairs and sat at a huge table behind the stage curtain.
Picture in your mind 24 people sitting around a giant table (actually several tables pushed together). Two groups of about 12 were on two sides. The docent then said she would turn the lights out for 30 minutes and we could communicate with any ghosts. It didn't take long before we experienced them!
Dan saw a shadow (ghost) of a man descending a staircase from the stage. |
DAN'S 2ND EXPERIENCE - After the 20 minutes, Karen, the tour guide, said that we could take pictures. So Dan, turned to his right, toward the stage curtain (remember we were sitting backstage). To the right of the curtain, there was a stairway that led from the stage down into the first floor seating area. Dan hit his cell phone camera and a flash lit the staircase. It was then he saw a man in a cowboy hat descending the stairway from the stage to the seating area. The flash ended and the picture was captured, but nothing was there.
Dan thought that the living man wearing a cowboy hat, who was sitting at the end of our side of the table, and closest to the curtain, had stood up and walked down the stairs. But he didn't. He was still sitting there!
So, Dan actually saw the shadow of a male ghost in a cowboy hat walking down the staircase!
