Houston area ghost tour!
I went to that debsite, what are those orbs? It's pretty spooky.
Fly I don't know but these orbs fly around in my back yard on occassion!
A, they are ghosts!!!! Just ask Kristi?
Yeah I know.
April.....those are sooooo spooky!
I know and right in my own back yard!
Wow, those orbs are spooky and they have an eerie familiarity ::shivers::
:P
I don't think they're ghosts. I notice them more when children are around, so I think they're poltergeists!
Whaaayyy...you people are making fun of me.....
Bib Bubbles....you read the book too!
Book? What book? A book about Bubbles of Past Lives???? I recognized some of my relatives that have passed on...Lil' Bubblet and Auntie Bubbley.....in that photo.
Wish we were closer to Houston, I love to go on the tour. We decorate for Halloween every year. Mostly inside.
I would like to read the "real ghost story" too. Sandi
Sandi...the way you said "Waaaaaaaaa" reminded me of a book of few of us have read called "The Hundred Secret Senses" by Amy Tan. It is hilarious and touching! But I should have caught the joke. Sorry!
I'll dmail you the story too.
So, have we set a date yet folks? This just sounds like a lot of fun.
I am open for any date that you set. Bubba said he was interested and sent him this link but it doesn't look like he posted.
Well, my daghter will be with her father the weekend of August 4th and August 26th so I'm free on those dates.
Any works for me just pick a date and point me toward the food! LOL.
Well, my hubby is going to be tied all all next weekend, really! I'm tying him to a chair in the garage so he can't spend any money. Just kidding. So, how about August 4th?
Works for me.
Bubba, are you and your wife interrested in the tour?
Well, it looks like we start at Spaghetti Warehouse at 7:30 pm and the tour lasts until 10:15. I'm assuming (though I'll call tomorrow to double check) that we will need to eat prior to the tour. Unless the restaurant serves that late and we can all keep our tummy's in check until then. So, where do you guys want to meet? If ya'll want to ride together we can either meet here, at one of your houses or somewhere close to 59. Let me say this....I get very lost downtown. I have no problem driving but require a good guide or a good map reader. My vehicle seats 8 so there's plenty of room for any body that decides at the last minute that they want to join us.
K
Can meet you anywhere. I am close enough to get to your house or anyplace along 59.
We sure are. Aug 4 is confirmed?
Confirming August 4th.
April?
Ok.
I just left a message on their answering machine to make a reservation for four and asked that they call me back to confirm. Any other questions you guys have when they call?
Ask em what an orb is....really
you got it!
It could be something that is round with pennies glued on it.
OK. I just made the reservation for 4 but I had to hold with my credit card. There's a 24 hour cancellation fee so, if for some reaon any of you think you might not be able to go, please let me know asap so I don't get charged.
If we want to eat, she suggested we arrive around 6:00 p.m.
We should bring:
a flashlight
digital camera (with spare batteries) or
35 mm camera w/ high speed film (400 or 800) and spare batteries
comfortable shoes
We will be visiting:
Founder Cemetary
Julia Idason Bldg (first library)
Slave Cemetary
a Haunted Pub
Sounds like fun to me!
DW and I are ready to go! Thanks for making the reservations.
Great Bubba. Do ya'll want to ride together or meet at the Spaghetti Warehouse? I would be happy to drive but I don't get home until around 5:00 so everyone would have to meet me here and then go. If you do go on your own, Sandy from the tours told me that parking for Spaghetti Warehouse is free for those of us on the tour so don't put money in the meter. We also receive a 10% dining discount. Go into the lobby and ask for Melanie....or Melody....(I think) aaarrgh....I wrote everything down but can't find my paper. Maybe I left it at work. Regardless, tell her you are with my group, Kristi Nolan.
I'm looking forward to meeting ya'll!
Please make sure to post stories and photos on here for the rest of us!
I think we will drive. Plan to eat at Spaghetti Warehouse.
See y'all there - this is gonna be FUN!
You bet, Mitch!
Here's a neat website that lists al of the haunted places in Texas.
http://theshadowlands.net/places/texas.htm
Looked on there and loved it - I have been to a few of those places...
Ya'll have fun tonight!
Don't come crying to me if you have nightmares or afraid to go in your closet or can't stay at home alone........lol
Thank you Fly!
BOO!
We had a blast. I'll post pictures tomorrow...too tired tonight (my sister just left and we have laughed until our bellies hurt).
Bubba, it was wonderful to meet you and Linda. Ready for the Galveston tour?
Truly a lot of fun.
I have one mystery picture - same spot - two pix back to back - different result.
I'll post soon.
