Sept 16th BBQ, Raffle and Ghost tour

Getting set up for Scott and Scott's BBQ in the rain




Jason and Tracy












The rain let up when it was time to eat.  The food was outstanding as usual. Thanks, Scott and Margo, and Scott and Vicky.  And Desserts were provided by Sharon and David Barnes from Oklahoma


Hang found a kitty in the Crescent

One of the more colorful owners had this desk built 

Grand Piano in the Crystal Dining room


A history lesson before the Ghost Tour


From a Balcony where a young lady jumped

Every floor has its stories.  A colorful history.

Our tour guide was excellent.  The lady in the long red coat was just part of the group, but claims she's a seer.  Trained by her mother and grandmother.  Not sure what she came to see. :-)

Seer/Medium

Looking for a lady in a white dress.  I didn't see her


Not part of the tour.  This is a bride from a wedding this evening.  Running down the hall.  I assume that's her new husband way down the hall chasing her.  Weird place.  They do have many wedding performed here on the property.

Bullet proof glass in the gift shop.  It was the owners office when it was a cancer hospital. Among other very shady businesses going on in here.  


Outside the entry way

In the Basement, another history lesson

The picture is of Mr. Baker, the proprietor. He wasn't a doctor, but posed as one. He spent some time in Jail, then tried politics for awhile.  Didn't do real well.  Had been a vaudeville actor as well as several scam deals.  He made a lot of money 

One of the cabinets that held jars of tumors in formaldehyde 

One of the wheel chairs

More jars that held body parts


The morgue. This cold room could hold as many as 30 bodies.  



If you don't leave a  tip for the tour guide, you might not make it out of the bsement



Right in front of Skid is where a young lady landed after falling down from the 4th floor.  On top of the stair banister stanchion is a  Ghost detector that picks up electro magnetic signals.  It was glowing red here. 

Still open for business, this is the front dest

A elegant place for sure
