We stayed in one place in Southern Alabama...actually an old building converted into a downtown Hampton Inn...that was reputed to be heavily haunted.

A young man who has been on the tour of the house earlier in the day came rushing in. He wondered if he could take some more pictures of the bedroom that displays a dress from the TV series Bewitched. A picture he had taken that morning picked up a ghost. As I looked at the picture I knew what it was. There were workmen on the street below. He had a double exposure and the workmen appeared as ghosts.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504757647826212517.post-20276544031388990812021-05-06T13:23:27.554-04:002021-05-06T13:23:27.554-04:00It's a beautiful place.
