MandD Paranormal

Let's talk about synchronicity. The thought that something always has a reason in the bigger picture for happening. One event, leading to another creating a path to a goal that you may not know you had, or to a place or situation that you need to be. It happens regardless of what you call it.

This weekend

Tess had planned a mountain top getaway for the beginning of this week. Nothing related to the paranormal just a break from everything, however, synchronicity is and the powers that bee are abundant and active. We began our journey as we do most of our journeys, late. We arrived at the destination about three hours later than anticipated, when we arrived at the road that would take us to our mountain top haven the bridge covering the creek we must cross was completed flooded with water that would have been suitable for white water rafting. The owner of the BandB said that had we arrived 2 hours sooner there would have been no trouble. As you can imagine this was a bit aggravating, there is always a reason. I will take crap from Tess for admitting that. This put us on a decision making path, do we take the 2-hour trip home or try and find a place to stay for the night? We called several places with no avail, however one did picture up and it was exactly what we needed, to a tee! The hotel was on the very top of a mountain come to find out only a couple hundred feet from the thirty-seventh meridian, and on that meridian you can see three states. Anyway, when we arrived, our first thought was that of the shinning. The hotel itself is old, most would say outdated, sitting at the top of a mountain shrouded in fog, only one car visible and honestly no visible light coming through the windows. It was perfect! An instant liking, when you enter the lobby you see a cubby for check-in and office, but before you see that you take note that the lobby is old stonework, directly above the office cubby is the second-floor balcony area guarded by an old wrought iron railing looking at to two old, very large wrought iron chandeliers, one of which hangs over an enormous fireplace in one wall. It provides the feeling of being in a castle!

The young lady at the counter was very accommodating After I mentioned that we are paranormal investigators she was kind enough to tell us some local info. She gave us some brief history on the hotel, allowing that it was built in the early sixties and that she was aware there were no nefarious deeds or death in the hotel, and that the stones were brought from grandfather mountain and had ties with the builders of the parkway. She did tell me that some regular guests had stayed in a room just down the hall from ours and refused to again stating it was haunted and that another co-worker has had some strange experiences, all in all, nothing outstanding. This was hard to believe due to the general feel of the place. More research must be done!

We had a room on the second floor, a door down from the “haunted room”. When we walked in, our attention was immediately drawn toward the end of the hallway past the “haunted Room”, and that oh so familiar hair standing on end and goose pimple popping up happened. We were allowed to go into the haunted room, we went in, in turn. Tess had a difficult time getting the door unlocked, this we found out is a common occurrence, she actually somehow entered the room while it was still locked. I had no trouble. While Tess was in the room she heard noises, like scratching, coming from the closet, and felt a heaviness from the moment she entered. She did not stay long. She did not tell me about her experience before I went in. I learned a lesson, always have some small equipment when you travel, we were not prepared for spooky stuff on this trip, all I had was a thermal. I took the thermal with me and since it records audio done an impromptu EVP session as well. I, as is customary, really didn't feel anything except an odd pressure on my left ear.

The most fascinating part to me about this hotel is how comfortable it is, it feels like coming home. It feels nothing like a hotel, it feels like sitting in my living room. The next day at check out we met the lady who is more “spiritually inclined” in the establishment. Her name is Jennifer, She actually channels spirits and helps them cross over. She said there is a definite energy in the “haunted room” as well as one in the game room that travels to the restaurant above it. I had been in the game room the day before and was drawn to an old piano that is there, unsurprisingly I felt nothing other than interest. The conversation with Jennifer progress and she felt compelled to take me to the game room, as we aproached it felt like something walked through me. Every hair on my body stood up and I shivered uncontrollably. As we entered the game room I felt that feeling two more times during the conversation we had.

To sum it up, we have found possibly five new places to investigate made a new friend, and possibly a “base of operation” in the area, All because a sudden decision for a trip and mother nature flooding a bridge! Synchronicities and the guidance of the universe happen all the time, our trouble is we just don't know how to listen.
