I totally believe in ghosts. I've had quite a few supernatural experiences, and I've even seen ghosts on a couple of occasions. They don't scare me, because I know most ghosts are benevolent and well-meaning, and I'm protected by the light and love of the God of the universe from those who aren't. I do genealogy, and part of that involves going to grave yards, and I've sensed energies, and even had some pretty wild photos with what can only be described as ghosts in them on some of those visits. And, I also do haunted tours whenever I come across them. They're fun, and I love the history of these ancient houses; at the same time, I'm open to making a connection with a friendly spirit, and maybe even helping it along into the light if I can. So yes, I believe in ghosts. Brooksville isn't an insane number of miles away from me; a tour of this house is going on the day trip itinerary, right after the trip to Cassadega I've promised to a couple of my cousins.
Wow, thank you for sharing! I would love to see one of your photos. I agree, exploring old houses is fun!
