Walk Amongst the Dead in New Orleans
Friday, Oct. 31, 2003...The Night of the Dead, Vampire Ball...
yes, the theme this year played host to the legendary vampires of New Orleans.
The Inn did not disappoint with its ghostly hosts either. The first night Paul & I heard a woman's voice crying, and then singing. I heard her later in the night, as well, screaming. Followed closely by a man's footfalls on the stairs and then every doorknob on the second floor started to shake, consecutively, as if someone was trying to get into the rooms. I'd like to note...other than Jodi & Ray (who were asleep in their room), we were the only ones in the house that night.
When the Michigan Car Contingent arrived, I had to laugh when the ghosts opened the door to greet them on the second floor. A door that opens outward suddenly opens by itself...I don't think Heather was too thrilled at the idea of staying in the closest room, as she quickly begged to be moved!
And the first floor bathroom. Ah yes, the location of the wierdness Niff & Kevin & I experienced on our previous stay at the house. At least 3 of us were run out of that bathroom from fear. Someone lurking, someone watching. Yeah...it was creepy.
Nuit des sorcie'res de balle de Vampire. (Halloween Vampire Ball) We encouraged everyone to create a vampire persona based in history, lore or legend. I am thrilled to say everyone looked great!
