It’s a bit rainy today. The sky is covered in a thin layer of grey clouds that let a minimal amount of sun through. There’s a strong breeze blowing all the brightly colors leaves barely hanging onto their branches off the trees and all over the ground. I haven’t been outside yet but the people I’ve seen passing by the windows of my apartment are all bundled up. This is the perfect setting for tonight.
My birthday was last month. Every year my father asks what I want, and every year I get exactly that. I decided to go with something a little different this year. While at the office a month or so ago, I met a woman who just so happened to be a paranormal investigator. She showed me pictures and told me of all sorts of experiences from her recent stay at the Shanley Hotel. It intrigued me so much that I did a little research as soon as I got back to my desk and discovered this hotel is just an hour away from here. They advertise as a haunted hotel, which I’m always very weary of as it’s often just a gimmick to get people to book rooms, but there seem to be many people who have had a positive experience there, paranormal or not. I emailed the link to the hotel’s website to my father and he made a reservation.
Tonight Jeremiah and I will head up to the hotel. They are having a special tarot card workshop early tonight, then the investigation will begin. To be quite honest, I don’t believe we’ll experience anything. I am very skeptical, especially when it comes to overly advertised hauntings, but we’ll see. Maybe we’ll have the experience of a lifetime…
