Ghost Hunting

These buildings are very long, with about three to four entrances that require their own stairwells. The basement is the entire length of the building. Down there, there are lots of tiny little rooms and two laundry rooms. It's dark, dirty, creepy. Jenna, Al, and I went down there and took pictures. We found some with orbs, which very well could have been because of poor lighting. Jenna, however, did have a couple pictures with orbs that looked kind of different. Perhaps it is something... ? We can only hope!

After being down in the basement a while, we traveled all the way to the end of the basement where there's a stairway that goes up to apartments on the three different floors of the building. No one lives in those apartments. We live in apartments in the middle two stairwells. So up we traveled this deserted part of the building. I noticed two windows were open in the stairwell, so I announced they were open. When I shut the window it was quite loud and scared Jenna half to death. I can't say it wasn't a little funny.

We climbed all the way to the tip top of the staircase. Al tried one of the doors... it was open! Al does not believe in ghosts or creepy stuff, but he said when that door opened, it gave him chills down his spine. It was the attic. We started to go in, but the lights didn't work. So down the stairs we went, through the basement to the next stairwell (also the one my apartment is in), up those stairs to Al's room to get his flashlight.

We went back to the attic and this time had two new ghost hunters with us: Emma and Quintin. The attic is one long apartment with little rooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen. We found gross leftover belongings up there, red paint on the floor--or blood!, and four pictures on the floor. Two pictures had faces torn out of them. That was a little creepy.

All in all we found nothing, really. But it was fun. On the way back to our apartments, Quintin and Emma decided to get ahead of us, hide, and scare us. We knew it was coming since they got completely silent. It still startled us, though. Gah!

We went to Emma's apartment and most of us BSU 11 student teachers were there. Some of us watched the _Apocolypse WWII_ documentary, while a few others made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. After some of them left, Brittany and Al showed us their swing dancing skills. Al showed Emma a few swing basics, then me. I feel I picked it up pretty well and it was a lot of fun. I'd like to take lessons sometime in the near future. Then Al also showed Kristen a few moves. It was a fun evening.
