The people have shadows so I know the figure isn't a human moving causing them to look blurred. It's a little creepy and really cool.

I remember in the late 90's, early 00's there were classes and special offerings for members. One of these was an after hours "ghost tour". I always wanted to take that one, but these classes ended before I ever got around to it (or had the money to do it).Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06178894933338119034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-56837614651889277632016-08-23T08:23:44.248-04:002016-08-23T08:23:44.248-04:00Ken, thank you for your post.

I love the quote I found a while back (sorry do not remember the author): "I do not believe in ghosts, but I sure am scared of them." Actually, I am not scared of them at all. I believe you manifest what you want and expect as far as evil verses good. I also live in a house with paranormal activity documented by several different people (totally unawares of the history of the house) having the same experiences. I am an avid "ghost hunter" and understand psychic abilities quite well. The study and research for over 40 years that I have done concerning the other dimensions around us has given me a firm and unshakable faith in our heavenly Father. I have never been harmed nor frightened thanks to Him. There is more to life than just us. Thanks again for a very fascinating document.

I have worked in historic buildings and collections (even with coffins)and have never felt a presence and never will. Once the dead is dead they are gone to the afterlife to stay. As a Christian I believe in angels to a certain extent. Anyhow and beside the point, I have friends in the business who do believe in ghosts and if they want to share their experiences with the public I say go ahead! The public loves those kind of stories. Many a visitor has come up to me for ghost stories and I disappoint them unfortunately.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072143258263166785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-76025675576549868472015-04-06T23:18:22.878-04:002015-04-06T23:18:22.878-04:00Ken,

I never had any paranormal experiences myself, but knew others who did. Like you, I never understood why management discouraged any discussion of it. These stories just add more depth the the character of the buildings. Thanks again for the read. I love good ghost stories!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05341895983220330251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-5092283602724015652015-04-05T20:45:44.869-04:002015-04-05T20:45:44.869-04:00Ken, Thank you so much for telling me about this. ...Ken, Thank you so much for telling me about this. I enjoyed your photos and your stories Since my cousin worked there for years and has recently told me a little about her experiences, I was especially interested.<br /><br />I am glad you did not post this around Halloeen, as there are so many stories around that time that you cam<br />'t really tell which are true and which are make-believe. I enjoyed reading all of them. It has made me even more anxious to get back to the village and see it with a more open mind and curiosity Again, Thank You<br /><br />Shirley Moon KoebbeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185482003375409107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-20202478613203567022015-04-02T20:32:49.834-04:002015-04-02T20:32:49.834-04:00What a great article.

I also think that many more people than we realize have experienced "spirits" and just don't talk about it, at least not to a great extent. Proof of the pudding, in lots of old towns and cities on the east coast, a great tourist favorite are the "ghost tours" which take you on foot around the place and show you where there has been ghost sitings.

I am a true believer. I have worked at museums over time that definitely displayed paranormal activity. Kudos to you for telling the facts without all of the ghosty embellishments. I have come to enjoy and respect all of your work. I can clearly see a book in the making. Thank you for sharing your many experiences with us all.

You should have saved your post for Halloween. :)<br />I so enjoyed hearing the stories and history while seeing the corresponding home or building to go along with the story. That village is totally amazing, so many homes. That's so nice that you get to go in all of them. That sunset picture of Firestone Farm is stunning as well as the wonderful interior views.<br />Again, I loved this post.

While I wouldn't mind hearing the stories at times I can completely understand why GFV management shy away from it all. I will take heat for this but as a broad statement "ghost hunters" are not always the most respectful. Biggest case in point are the 1000's that trespass on National Park land to ghost hunt even if it is illegal. I have slept on the battlefield at Gettysburg (with permission) a few times. The amount of camera flashes I see in the distance and more was surprising. Also was awaken by a ranger kicking a large group of hunter or trespassers out one night. Ghost hunts are saving some of our history with the $ they bring which can be ok. Glad THF isn't and understand why.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092603846280837483noreply@blogger.com
