I do believe in spirits, ghosts, the afterlife. I have seen my Grandfather, stand at the end of my bed, only to have my sister (who lived away from me) tell me of her exact experience with him. I have seen bright lights after my grandma passed away, and most recently my 3 year old nephew laughs and says that my Dad who passed 5 months ago is with him and laughing. I do believe!Frugalious Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699819217604655002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-72386195809459691512009-02-18T22:20:00.000-08:002009-02-18T22:20:00.000-08:00We went on one of the ghost tours on the Queen Mar...We went on one of the ghost tours on the Queen Mary a couple of years ago. We went on the one that's set up like a haunted house with the lights and sounds and special effects. My kids were so scared they bawled and everyone looked at us like we were horrible parents... LOL <BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed it though. It's an amazing ship.

I think they used something like 40 different exotic woods in the public areas, hallways, and guest cabins. Disney changed quite a few things, but wasn't able to change anything historical, but we stopped going there once they took it over ... what had been a very romantic close-to-home getaway was suddenly populated with Disney characters, Disney gift shops, and actors dressed like WC Fields, Mae West, etc.<BR/><BR/>I hope your tour will include the Queen's ballroom/dining room area, which is gorgeous. The empty swimming pool is kinda spooky anyhow due to its age and location, and there are lots of wonderful non-public nooks and crannies to explore.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-91546954938614897932009-02-11T10:01:00.000-08:002009-02-11T10:01:00.000-08:00Hi JoanneI didn't know Queen Mary had this tour. ...Hi Joanne<BR/>I didn't know Queen Mary had this tour.

If it's a good one,I'll spend the $$$ and go. <BR/>yes, I do believe in ghosts. I grew up in a haunted house and we even had individuals come over and stay and leave "believers". It can be scary but after a medium came in, and we learned who our ghost was, it was just not scary anymore, but rather sad. He turned out to be the spirit of a young man who'd lived in the home prior to my family. His happiest times were in this home so that's where he returned. We would find wet footprints around the pool area when no one had been using it. The water in the bathroom would go on and off, toilets would flush. Things would fly across the room, cold spots, and I actually had physical contact with it. I had cut my hair from waist length to shoulder length and he must hot have liked it, because when I went to my room that night it was so cold you could see your breath. I acknowledged him and felt a tug on my hair. I chuckled and said "oh, you don't like my hair?" and he actually tugged it harder. I asked him not to tug anymore, but later that night my hairbrush and spray were knocked off my dresser. It took a few days for him to get over my cutting it, but at least he calmed down. He's still in the house but not as active as before. My brother still "sees" and "feels" him occassionally.Rechelle ~Walnuthaven Cottage~https://www.blogger.com/profile/00532760613588553175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-42057493694193583932009-02-10T14:12:00.000-08:002009-02-10T14:12:00.000-08:00Well that is my kind of tour ...

I can't wait till you blog about it after you've gone!<BR/><BR/>It's funny, I'd never gotten orbs in any of my photos until one day a few years back when my sister and I were able to visit an apartment we'd lived in when we were kids (that my mom loved). So in my head, I asked mom (who had died about eight years earlier)to join us at the apartment that day. Well, I had so many orbs in those photos - especially one photo of my daughter, who was with us that day... There were orbs all around her. I swear my mom came and brought my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and they were all clustered around Amanda. <BR/><BR/>You know, Joanne, I may just do a post about orbs sometime and share some of those photos - I love this topic!...Donna @ An Enchanted CottageDonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959146424077963520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-18048183094456669242009-02-10T12:42:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:42:00.000-08:00Great post.....Great post.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-68330940281144624602009-02-10T12:04:00.000-08:002009-02-10T12:04:00.000-08:00I get butterflies thinking about the trip and the ...I get butterflies thinking about the trip and the experience we are going to have. <BR/><BR/>I am gearing up for the Ghosts. <BR/><BR/>Till then..................(: )<Glendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512282878048503909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-91223462753476098222009-02-10T11:07:00.000-08:002009-02-10T11:07:00.000-08:00Oh how fun, Joanne!

As my husband (now ex husband) and I were walking down the corridor to our suite I clearly felt a tap on my shoulder and someone call my name. It was so clear I whipped my head around thinking there was actually someone there! This and living in a haunted house in San Pedro, CA has led me to be a part of a paranormal investigation team here in Oregon. :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072573764510139884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-18321623314036279992009-02-10T10:47:00.000-08:002009-02-10T10:47:00.000-08:00You will have a lot of fun!

I'm thinking about going to the Scottish Fair on the QM.
