Haunted happenings

TRIBUNE-REVIEW

A hotel-restaraunt in Mt. Pleasant that was built in 1883 is believed by some to have had customers that checked in more than 100 years ago who remain there today.

They're ghosts.

Sherry Wingrove, owner of the R&R Station, said she began noticing strange things happening soon after she and her husband, Ray, bought the business.

"Things would disappear and then reappear later. You heard footsteps when no one was there, and you could hear children bouncing a ball upstairs and pots and pans would fly off the racks," Wingrove said. "For 13 years I wondered what was going on."

Last August she decided to see if she was going crazy or if something supernatural was afoot.

That's when she contacted the Paranormal Researchers Organization.

"Someone from the organization has come in every month since then, except December, and they set up cameras and recorders in different rooms and sleep over night in a different room every time they come," Wingrove said.

To me, psychics and the business angle of this whole thing kinda hurts the credibility.... It's still interesting though.

They have checked out many times, but they can never leave....(followed by an impressive guitar lead by Joe Walsh)

It took 13 years for her to wonder if she was crazy or if something supernatural was going on? It would take me ONE incident, and the garlic would come out!!

LOL! That's what I was thinking! A bit slow on the uptake there.

How's the snow by you? We are buried here in Bayonne, must have gotten two solid feet at least. I don't mind shoveling, but there's no where to put it!

No kidding! Can you imagine a pot flying across the kitchen, not just drop down but across? I just looked up ectoplasm on dictionary.com and sure enough it is believed to be pre-ghost. These articles are always interesting reading.

I believe I have been right all along.

It was the ghost of poor old vince haunting Hillary that stole and then returned the Rose Law Firm billing records.

I wonder if the Bush's ever see his apparition?
