Spooky! I love a good ghost tour. It reminds me of a time when Deb and I did our own visit to the abandoned Essex County Mental Hospital in NJ (been torn down almost 20 years now.). That place was haunted like something straight out of a Roger Corman film!

Thank you, Ed. Good to know there's at least one "ghosthunter" among us here on Substack. Sometimes I wonder if folks here are just a wee bit too serious.

Astoria, Oregon has a fabulous ghost tour complete with smugglers’ tunnels from prohibition!

I loved hearing about your ghost tours! Virginia City always reminds me of all of the Bonanza reruns I would watch as a kid when I was home sick from school.

V.C. is a favorite place to visit for my family. Val wanted to live there at one time until she learned how clannish the locals are. That's what happens to a town when the tourism industry and real estate boom moves in. The locals gets a tad crusty.

Sounds like the locals have good reason to be a bit crusty. There is nothing like the clannishness of many small towns.
