Good morningI found this interesting , I have a home party biz , nuff said , I had a small show last night and after everything was done we were discussing the location , it was the old Armory in Woodstock , Georgeous apartments by the way , I decided to ask if there was any activity and she said no and said it seemed like a happy place from what she got but when I mentioned W-I-P-S and what we do the ghost stories started flooding out , one girl admitted to being an empath too! My point is ...the paranormal is more widely accepted , in my opinion ,than it used to be , these women were more than excited to discuss their experiences , I ended up with a promise of a phone call to discuss this womens long history of paranormal activity , spirits following her , several haunted locations ,etc..You can usually get a feel for the people at that time , talk about your passion and you never know what will come up !Lisa J

Hey Lisa! Great job! You are absolutely right about people spilling the beans once you open those doors! Like I've said many times before, people in this area are very conservative when it comes to talking about the paranormal... but once they have an outlet and know no one is going to laugh at them or call them crazy... *whoosh*.... out it all comes! So that is the best way to bring in interest... is just break the ice about it ourselves... especially if you're in a great old historical location like you were at!! You can start off then with the location's history and ease into the ghost talk much better that way.

As for people having an open forum for these stories... I think you are all aware that the meetings are open to the public to sit in on and listen... I would like to dedicate the last bit of time at each meeting for open discussions. So if that time somone from the general public would like to pipe up with some stories or comments about locations... they are more than welcome to! That is a great place to start bringing people that you know might be interested in sharing something like this or may want to have us come out. It will give them a chance to feel out the group and ask us some questions. That's what I would suggest first and foremost. But I do think having an open forum as an event - we would need to have some good stories of our own and figure out a good way to structure the night - but I think that is a very good idea, and we should keep that for maybe the springtime perhaps! Let's get the group a little more established, and by that time we'll have had an article on us and a few (or more!) investigations of our own to speak on - we can run an event listing in the newspaper and do some more promotional work to get some butts there. I think we could do it. I think we should scout an interesting location for it and work on some things to do there in addition to the storytelling. Who would like to help? I know you're in Lisa!

Hi!

I was thinking , uh-oh! lol , We could maybe have a public event where we welcome the public to share real life experiences with like minded people , then they wouldn't have to be embarassed , etc.. this could lead to a lot of leads! Maybe tie it in with a meeting or when the NW Herald comes maybe add the upcoming event to the article?  Ooooh , a bonfire maybe?  Just an idea

You are 100% right!! So many people are interested in the paranormal and are embarrassed to be the 1st to say they believe something is going on.  I am always blabbing about ghosts at the risk of being laughed at  You would be suprised though! Mostof the time people are really interested in what we are doing or have stories like you found out! Good job!!

Hopefully we will hear more from her!

Have a great day!

Chris
