Greensboro No Carolina to Roanoke Virginia

The first thing I want to tell you is that I may have debunked the YouTube Video from my last post.  They put an orange on the dresser and were able to video it moving on its own.  I happened to have a ball with me.  I put a flashlight behind the ball and set up my camera.  I started asking the ghost of room 37 to move the ball and, lo and behold, within 2 minutes, it moved just like the You Tube video.  At first I was startled.  The problem is that the top of the dresser is sloped in such a way that there were few spots you could put the ball where it wouldn't move in one direction or the other.  On my second attempt, I was only able to find one spot where it would stay put.

This begs the question "why did it take two minutes for the ball to move the first time".  Perhaps a truck drove by or the building shook just enough to force the ball to move.  I would have loved to just show you my video and claim that I, too, have experienced paranormal activity but...a)  the video quality was so dark, it was difficult to see what was happening and....b)  a truck probably did drive by. 

I did have a minor experience.  I was listening to the audio portion of my "investigation" at the Biltmore and heard some old fashion music.  I didn't think much of it at the time.  I just assumed that someone had some old 78 records on in the next room (That's so common).  When I was checking out, the guy at the desk asked me if I had any paranormal experiences.  I said no.  He asked me if I heard any "parlor" music.   He said that one of the paranormal claims is picking up old fashioned music on audio that they don't hear at the time of recording.    Perhaps this was a minor success?

Today, I  had a wonderful lunch with some friends from Visalia, CA in Greensboro, NC.  His grandson and granddaughter were graduating and the whole family flew to NC to attend the graduation.  After lunch, I headed North.  I have 6 days to get back to Boston for my flight back on Thursday.  I only drove 2 hours before  I got tired.  Am I getting old or what?   With Friday afternoon Memorial Day traffic, I decided to stay at the Roanoke Hotel in Roanoke Virginia.

Pretty cool, huh!  I like the fake moon at the top!  I just didn't have the time today to scope out a legitimate haunted location for tonight.  This place looks like it could qualify for "spook central" however.  I had a wonderful dinner with my new friend Susanne and her partner who played bass with the jazz group who were playing in the "uber-expensive" restaurant.  Perfect night!!

Tomorrow I will be traveling to Middletown, Virginia to stay at another B & B that is, of course, haunted.  We'll see.
