Last night I stayed all night at the Lemp Mansion – the second most haunted house in America according to The Travel Channel. It was awesome! I stayed up late, I went ghost hunting with a paranormal dude who let us use his ghost hunting equipment to see and record “orbs,” and I only slept for like three hours.

With the ghost hunting gear I saw “orbs,” but I still don’t know if I am convinced they are ghosts. I am sure there must be a ton of explanations for little glowing balls only detected by infrared light and electronic devices (ewww, that almost sounds like a dirty movie!), but don’t trust me – I am not an engineer or a ghost hunter. I am just a writer who stayed up 7 hours past her bed time and played ghost buster… and got really spooked.

I thought it was pretty cool though, staying the night in a place with so many urban legends, myths, and folklore surrounding it. It big time revitalized my interest in St. Louis history and architecture, and right now I am really anxious to do two things: read a book and go to sleep. Pretty darn exciting if you ask me! When we get the video together at the place that pays the bills (read: ToastedRav.com) I will definitely write some schtuff here about it and put the video up! But right now, I could sleep in a chair with my eyes open

Night friends, see you tomorrow!
