As a kid, I surely wanted to believe in ghosts even though “sensible” people --AKA adults--poo pooed such a silly notion. That, of course, did NOT stop me from entertaining the thought, however! That being said, I did not actively search for proof--at least, not yet.
Now let’s fast forward to 2002 whereupon Marty and I meet. His very real passion and search for finding answers to the age-old questions of the possibility of true ghostly manifestations quickly re-awakened my long dormant, youthful curiosity of the same. We began (and continue) our search together by staying at allegedly haunted inns and bed and breakfasts. How fun--this man spoils me with such lovely weekends!
Aside from that, we began to acquire some pretty incredible evidence. All the while I maintained a very high level of skepticism; my extreme need for over- the-top, mind-blowing proof would soon be fulfilled.
Upon our first night of a two-night stay at the Farnsworth House in Gettysburg, Pa., I was extremely fortunate to witness something very few people experience. I was awakened by somebody nudging my arm. Upon feeling the third nudge, I rolled over on my back, opened my eyes, and there she was two feet in front of me, standing beside the bed. We had a moment or two of “studying” each other’s face; she was looking at me as I was looking at her!
I had enough time to mentally record her hair, face, and clothing. Then, I did the expected thing; I screamed. Now , my friend, let me just say that night was only the beginning for me. The complete and thorough “processing” in my mind of the night’s happenings would take many weeks. I don’t know why she came to me although I do have a theory or two on that, but I am most grateful that she did. It was a gift like no other.
Believe it or not, I remain highly skeptical. Please do not misunderstand me; I do believe in an afterlife, and I do believe that spirits/ghosts can and do visit and interact with our world; BUT, I am convinced that this happens on rarest of occasions. We at SVPS will continue our search; and hopefully, when a spirit chooses to visit again on another day, we’ll be there to witness and capture that bit of evidence.
