Hello Guys and Ghouls!
My family has been scaring up a good time lately and I am absolutely frightfully delighted. Halloween is hands down my be all end all holiday. I assume that is why I try to keep it around all year. Last year while making holiday (x-mas) cupcakes for the little monsters school. I was watching a ghost hunters marathon while doing so. Any who…. This past weekend Mummy's little monsters as well as Mummy and Daddy went to a Ghost Tour. I must say it was rather fantastic. We went to the Lincoln Room in Downtown West Chester. Before the outing began we ate dinner in the gathering area, Pulled pork sandwich's and OMG! to die for Butternut squash soup which I never had but it is YUMMY! At 8 the ghost tour began; Our tour guide was Malcolm Johnstone dressed as a gentleman from 1850's guided us and approximately 45 other people on a 90 min. walking tour of the historic ghostly events of the West Chester area. The tour began at the Lincoln room one of West Chester's most historic buildings dating back to 1833. It is a federal style structure built by William Everhart, a former congressman. The rooms retain its original molding and tin ceiling. Abraham Lincoln had his first biography written here. It is also said to be haunted by the ghost of John Tully a horse thief that died there after being whipped and having his ears cut off. We also learned about the Everhart Parks mysterious Shadow People, as well as the persecution of the accused Westtown Witch Moll Otley. If ever in the West Chester Area and are looking for something fun to do for this time of year. I would definitely recommend giving this a try. It is a lot of fun and the people that run it could not get any nicer. Wonderful experience all the way around. This week I am getting ready for the weekends big events. Friday Night is Bates Motel followed by chillaxin in the crypt with killer friends. The following day is the big halloween Night of the Living Fed Party. Can't Wait!!!!
Yours Cruelly,
Krymsin


Outside of Tristin giving me a hard time... I REALLY REALLY enjoyed this night... you and I should do more stuff like this and maybe sometimes without kids so we have opportunity to really take it in! Would do this again in a heartbeat... maybe not the WC tour... but LOVE going to historic places like this and events like this...
