Shot pictures last night

I plan to shoot pictures at around midnight on Oct 31st and Nov.1. I took a few shots last night with a regular film camera. We'll see if any artifacts show up this year. I plan to use both the digitile and film cameras tonight and tommorrow night. The pictures I shot last night were of the front stairs and front Parlour where we had artifacts show up the past two years. I have a standee of Elvira on the front stairs, she doesn't count. But she does make a good halloween decoration.

Trick or Treat

The annual Halloween trick or treat was last night, followed by a weiner roast and party at the local fire department. I had somewhere between 300 and 400 little ghosts and goblins. Not nearly as many as I expected considering the fact the local village government set our trick or treat night on a different night than the one in a much larger neighboring town. The last time that happened I had to shut off the lights and close the door when I ran out of treats at about 500.

Halloween

Last night my wife and I were sitting at the kitchen table eating a late night snack. Our little black dog was under the table at my wife's feet and our older gray dog was laying beside my chair. I was at the eastern end of our kitchen table facing west and my wife was sitting midway along the horizontal axis facing south. Suddenly a loud pop sounded from the southwesternmost corner in the kitchen followed by a long expelling of (air?). The problem is, theres nothing in that area but a broom. Nothing could be found that even had air pressure. Perhaps we will find the problem was mundane; but we're scratching our heads now.

Nothing new on film

I got back my final film and nothing unusual appeared on the pictures. Halloween is rapidly approaching. I plan to shoot photos with both type cameras on October 30, 31st and November 1 at around midnight and shortly thereafter. I also plan to make a short visit to the local cemetary , which is in sight of the house, and see if a get anything other than tombstones on the shots. Everything that goes on over there, after dark, is not necessairly paranormal, however. The village idiot finally got the historic house down. Its definitely been more than 3 days; a lot more. The only termite damage found was on two beams that were half buried in the dirt of the cellar floor. Someone got many loads of prime lumber as not even the outer siding wood showed anything but weathering. Some of the posts that supported the corners of the house were solid wood posts 23 inches thick. The house had been built with native oak and walnut. But the Idiots garage can now be seen from the street so he's happy. He still has a huge load of hand hewed granite blocks, that weigh several hundred pounds each, that made up the foundation to get rid of.
