👻 ?

Is it ghost or just a product of my somewhat active imagination? Yesterday we were supposed to go to a dinosaur park but it was booked by a private party so the fossil exhibits were off limits at the moment. Rather disappointed, my history buff nephew suggested we go somewhere historical. We found a mansion type museum. Naïvely we went there, looks nice. Big home and land, it was built around maybe mid 18th century. So it was owned by a wealthy white family who owned the most number of slaves and indentured servants in the state. Eep. There’s an exhibit which was a list of the slaves they owned, the name, age, and the value. Really awful and just made me shake my head. Obviously it’s not a popular destination but since we’re there we might as well go in and see what a mansion looks like. We were roaming around, it reminded me of a petite version of Downtown Abbey. There even was hidden stairs I guess for servants to use. At some point, through the middle of the home, I felt my body hairs standing. I ignored it, maybe there was draft. But a few minutes after my brother in law told my sister to wrap things up cause he’s feeling heebee jeebies too. So we left, but I guess there’s a superstition that don’t go directly home lest you want to bring them home with you. So we went to the museum first, but my sister couldn’t find her bag so went back and found it in the bathroom. When we went back my hairs have started to subside but still felt cold.

We had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant, the food was really good! Then went to the shops. I bought a pot of flowering bulbs, hopefully I won’t kill it. Yeah, productive weekend, fortunately I’m strong enough to do my chores and other things. In the evening, I felt cold… it just got cold but my hairs are not up. Whew!
