Torrington Connecticut to New Hope Pennsylvania

Last night, I did a two hour ghost investigation at the Yankee Pedlar Inn in Torrington.  I pulled out all of the stops....using my finest "ghost detecting" equipment.  I even fell asleep and left my audio device on all night just in case one of the many little "Caspers" they claim roam the hotel wanted to say a little something for the cameras.  The electromagnetic field detectors and my .99 cent iphone ghost hunting app didn't register a single blip.  I did listen to my tape recorder which was set to "sound activation".  I saw that, even though I was asleep, it registered 5 hours of sound.  Could this be the holy grail?   5 hours of spirits talking non-stop while I slept restfully?   What I got to listen to was 5 hours of snoring!  (lady-like snoring, of course)  Foiled again!  Here is a picture of the "Haunted Hotel"

So I packed up my crap and high tailed it out of there.  I was one hour late for the continental breakfast and when I asked the lady if they had any coffee, she said "NOOOOOO!!" (in a witch-like voice)  As I skulked away I sang "You're a mean one, Mrs. Grinch" under my breath.

I had all day to get to my next stop in New Hope, Pennsylvania.  I must have stopped at 5 McDonalds.  I was trying to get to New Hope without going near New York City.   They had a train derailment and traffic is a huge huge mess.  I saw this sign that said "West Point" and always wanted to see it.  It was everything I imagined   My friend, Jerry Hayton, graduated from there so I texted him a bunch of pictures.  Amazing.

 

 

 

 

I made it to New Hope Pennsylvania and what a wonderful town.  I told the lady when I made the reservation to give me a really haunted room.  At first, they booked me in the loft but when I got there, I asked her if the loft was really haunted.  She said she had something even more "haunted-er" for me.  She put me in "Room 1"  (sounds so ominous!)  which is the most hauntedest ever.  (said like a valley girl).   Here is a picture of this Bed and Breakfast, The Wedgewood Inn:

The claim is that a 12 year old girl has appeared.  This house was part of the underground railroad and hid slaves for transportation North.  So, I have all of my gear out and will put out the lights and try, once and for all, to fulfill my duty and catch a damn ghost!
