Last night's show wasn't bad. That EVP from the carriage house of a 'slave woman' supposedly calling for help was sort of freaky...

I cannot believe Brian is back!

Also that footage of the mist forming in the video and also the short black shadowy going back and forth in the brewery was again sort of weird... :rolleyes:

Is Ghost Hunters on again on Wednesday? :confused:

Yep, it caught me by surprise, I missed the first half. :frown:

It looked like a bat to me. Something flew off a wall, but it was too dark to tell what it was.

That does sound like fun. We need a Sisterhood slumber party. We could watch Ghost Hunters, bake cookies, do facials and manicures, put SOS's hand in warm water when she falls asleep... :devil: :smile:

That ghost thing they caught on t.v was probably the boy Tim they were talking about. After all, they concluded that it must have been at least 3 feet tall and it's head was sort of transparent.

Oh, come on, I think zoob's posts are educational for those that don't know how spirit contact works. I think they should be allowed to be seen. :-p
