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.
