Once the Le Blair Hotel

I wish you could have seen my husband and I dancing around in the dark trying to take pictures of this building.  I wanted the photograph to look spooky, but we had to position the car headlights just right.  We must have tried six times.  Though I have a wonderful story to share with you on the tour of just how haunted this building is, the scariest thing that night was our attempt at photography.

This was once the Le Blair Hotel, and I gave you a bit of its history on my regular blog, This Eclectic Life.  I can't wait to get to tell the whole story to an audience for real.

Although I am going to tell the tale on the tour, I'm not sure I will walk people to it ... it's a couple of blocks from the square on pretty bumpy sidewalks with low lighting.  Getting to see it in the dark would add to the chills, but I don't want anyone to trip or get run over, because we don't need any more ghosts on the square!

Next week it begins!  On Friday, March 22nd, be at Jupiter House on the Square a bit before 8:00.  I'll be rarin' to go.

Release the Kraken!
