Ghost Tour

I went on a local ghost tour tonight, with a few of my family members.

I love the idea of ghost tours – I’ve been on a few in Australia and on one overseas in Dublin which was excellent. But I always come away disappointed, because I never see anything remotely paranormal.

The tour last night was fascinating, in its teaching of local history and the strange experiences of its residents. I did wonder though whether one of the groups on the tour were scaring the ghosts off with their drunken and disrespectful behaviour (they were eventually kicked off).

On most of the ghost tours I’ve been on, participants are encouraged to take lots of photos, in case ‘orbs’ appear in the photos that do not appear before the eye. It is widely considered that these orbs are sources of paranormal energy, potentially from people who died at those sites. I took heaps of photos, and didn’t see anything in them. When I got home, I went through them again and did notice a couple of very light orbs, although I’m not necessarily convinced that these show evidence of paranormal activity.

It’s so frustrating though, because what could give me more proof of a spirit realm, than having a paranormal experience of my own? For the whole tour, I was craning all my senses, trying to heighten my meditative state and mentally crying out: Helloooo! Come and meet meee! But I got nothing. Zilch.

Oh well.
