sj - that's totally fine.
So I'm working on writing a Historical Tax Credit application for one of our buildings {only Civil War barracks still standing in Michigan and also rumored (like so many buildings in Michigan are) to be a stop on the Underground Railroad (although, this might have some merit here as the builder and owner of the building, Mark Norris, was a certified member)}. I have 340 pictures of the building that I printed out onto a contact sheet this morning.
I have discovered that this building is haunted.
Boss is laughing and a little bit freaked out.
Might have to call Ghost Hunters in and get some publicity and maybe contact Histories Mysteries to see if it really was a stop.
It's pretty typical stuff for LAX. All part of the reason I normally avoid this airport.
Ok, in my research I am finding out so many cool things about my hometown.
An article on Ypsi's role in the Underground Railroad. [link]
The the third paragraph, it talks of the depot of the Michigan Central Railroad being a spot where slaves might have hidden - it is right across the street from our building and might have been a hiding spot toward the end because our building wasn't built until 1861.
sj - that's totally fine.
Thanks! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to kill anyone on NYE. Well, at least not the people I like.
Aims - How do you know it's haunted?

The pictures. They aren't water or dust spots on the camera because then the exterior pictures would show them, too. And the spots are concentrated in a particular place in the building.
Cool! Can I see the pictures?
Are there people, Aimee, or just shapes?
I got completely freaked out a few months ago when a former co-worker told me her best friend is convinced her house is haunted. They live in a giant, old house that used to be a funeral home. Which didn't bother her until her three year old daughter told her about a specific "invisible friend"--a little boy with blue lips, who the child says, is "bad."
I got chills up my spine just typing that.
Cool! Can I see the pictures?
Sure. When you come to get me I'll show you.
Cash, just shapes.
LAX sucks troll balls.
Maybe Suzie will go with her friends and Shrift will eat a burrito.
