Ghost Hunt 2007, part 5
Posted by: Amelia // Category: Ghosts!, Hunting!, JCH, Mystery and Suspense // 12:02 am
Full disclosure: I’m afraid to come into the Wren’s Nest alone at 10:00am on a sunny day.
That, friends, is because I am the weenie to end all weenies. I am the weeniest weenie that ever weenied. Thus the fact that I am at the Wren’s Nest at 11:36pm on a ghost hunt is not only a testament to my commitment to this house, but also my own stupidity. I shall not sleep for days.
Luckily, I am not alone in my stupidity. Other than Lain, who is pretty okay, this ghost hunt - oh wait, have I not mentioned we’re conducting a Friday the 13th ghost hunt? - also involves other friends of the Wren’s Nest, who stand at varying levels of bravery/stupidity.
At the moment, the good folks of Ghost Hounds are going from room to room with a psychic (I think?) who is telling us things about the rooms that we already know, but that she doesn’t. Gack!
11:48pm: oh god oh god. The doorbell just rang. Who the deuce was that?!
11:49pm: Ghost hounds say it was someone living. I have no proof. In the meantime, they’re asking if anyone is pregnant. Lain, do you have something to share with us?
11:52pm: I’m not sure how I feel about this ghost business. But I do know how I feel about this frightened business.
By the way, there is a live webcast and you, dear reader, can find it here:
[EDIT: The webcast has been archived here. Just scroll down a little.
It's long and sometimes static-y, but why wouldn't you want to see Lain discussing ghosts with a psychic and Patrick Burns, star of the television show Haunting Evidence?
(Patrick Burns -- big time ghost huntin' celebrity)
Also present is Reese Christian, currently writing a book about ghosts in Georgia.]
11:59: The conversation here is filled with statements like “that was the chair!” and “oh no, that was a person!” I mean, really. How often do you need to clarify that.
12:45: The web chatters are not only asking questions, but making claims about happenings in the house. I’m going to need a briefer about paranormal perception. It works across the sea? Christine from Australia says so.
We’ve now gone into the attic (bad web reception), the hall, and the front parlor. In the hallway, a spirit was, ah, detected? like, 3 feet to my left. Was I brave? Heavens no.
1:06am: The great thing is, the Ghost Hounds are cracking jokes, making fun of each other, having a grand old time. Someone has made the comment “Fear the living, not the dead”. I’m not sure where that puts me, confidence-wise.
1:11: The ghost hunt is over? I have survived? The Ghost Hounds are now discussing ghost hunting celebrities? It’s all true.
Looks like Friday the 13th served us well, and Saturday the 14th had little to offer. Apparently, over 100 folks were tuned into the webcast, all jazzed and brave. Maybe that’s because they weren’t here. Though with that many fans, perhaps the Wren’s Nest will become the new hot spot for ghost -excuse me, spirit - enthusiasts from all over. We’re certainly not complaining.

Pat yourself on the back, Amelia! A true weenie would not have made it all the way through to the end. Bravo and sweet dreams!
Yes….
You went on a ghost hunt!!! I am so jealous!
Amelia: Please don’t tell Lain…but I like your posts best. Should you feel the need to tell him, though, you can let him know that his are good, too.
Thanks John.
Hey Amelia, what is a briefer? Is it someone who doesn’t wear boxers?
Good work, Amelia.
Hey John, thanks! Wanna be best friends?
