I’m struggling to get everything ready for classes on Monday but I think I’m trying to catch something because I’m completely exhausted. I can’t believe the spring semester is already starting. Here’s hoping it’s better than my last.
I’m continuing with These Haunted Hills. Last week Josh has driven Brendan out to the site of the haunted murder hotel (I’m thinking a smaller scale version of H.H. Holmes’s murder castle.).
“Nothing about this is safe. Though, the building is in remarkable shape for being abandoned. It has a slate roof and they’re usually good for a century. If a roof is intact, a building can stay in decent shape. I do suggest if you feel any sponginess to any of the floorboards, tread lightly if at all.”
Brendan grunted. “Hadn’t even though about that part.”
“Structural integrity is almost always more dangerous than ghosts.”
Brendan tore his gaze away from the tree branches swatting the vehicle to stare at Joshua who beamed brighter than the sun. “Have you ever honestly been attacked by a ghost?”
If you’d like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It’s been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It’s been a great supportive group!
He asked a good question! I wonder what the answer will be.

Thanks. The answer probably won’t sit well with Brendan.

Sounds like they’re in store for some ghosty ‘fun’!

They are but Brendan would debate the fun part. Josh is in ghost heaven.

Uh oh, what if the ghosts decide to use the lack of structural activity? (wry grin)

Brendan is thinking exactly that.

Excellent point. The odds are probably even better than “almost always.” 🙂

Yikes, spongy floors and the chance of a possible ghost attack! No wonder Brendan is nervous.

Thanks. Brendan has to be wondering what the hell he’s gotten himself into.

OMG I remember when I went on a date (kind of) to a haunted pub http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2478232/Ancient-Ram-Inn-Britains-haunted-B-B-terrified-guests-jumped-windows.html We were there to do some ghost hunting and I was absolutely terrified – not by the ghosts but by the condition of the pub. The ceiling over the stairs was sagging so badly it was being held up by a strip of webbing. We were lucky to get out alive!! I was ill for days with my asthma after inhaling all the dust. It was a lot of fun though

OMG! The Ancient Ram is on my bucket list to ghost hunt in. That does sound scary The dust would about kill me too (sometimes I DO wear a mask on ghost hunts).

That is a very good question. Not that Josh’s other comments are not most helpful…. I wonder what he knows that Brendan doesn’t.

He knows ghost hunting (and exploring abandoned buildings) well.

Excellent question, but does he really want to know the answer?

He’s probably afraid of the answer.
