Happy Pumpkin Day!

   As it turns out I did not get to blogging yesterday or the day before or...the day before(I was typing this yesterday then ran out of time). Sorry but life does come first! Halloween is TODAY!! Very exciting, I know. But here is what I found for you..

    So I was parusing google and found some interesting "ghost" stories. The first I actually heard on a tour but whatever. Enjoy!

 The first that I can think of off the top of my head is the Stanley Hotel, mentioned before in my favorite places. There are too many stories to tell so I shall stick to only one. There is a ball of sorts that takes place every fall right around Halloween. Only, this ball is only for the dead. Sorry, that was a bad horror movie line.  Anyways, Steven King supposedly witnessed this when he had his stay at the Stanley. Whether it's true or not, I'm not surr but I'd love to see me some transparent people waltzing around.

    This next one is more of a ghost story rather than a spooky place to visit. From what I've read, this one seems to be a valid story. It's not as scary as it is distrubing and dark but if suits my purpose. :) This is my version of the story: There was an outlaw way back when that was running from the police. They killed him in a shoot-out, gave him to the underr-taker, blah blah blah. But the emblamer guy kept that outlaw, Elmer McCurdy, and showed him off for a nickel!! Apparently he hung his corpse or whatever for show. These carnie guys at one point claimed Elmer's body saying he was their brother then showed him off at their carnival! Somehow or another the hanging man's body got passed around till it ended up in an amusement park fun house! There was a film being shot in the park and a stage-hand went to move the"prop" when it's arm fell off!! Now Elmer McCurdy rests in Summit View Cemetary...beneath two feet of concrete.

    That's it for today! Have fun whatever your plans be for tonight. But keep your candy close...
