Gift from a stranger

We went into The Henryton by way of the train tracks today. The walk
was long, hot, and a wee bit sticky. On the way in we realized we
forgot to bring water. Wonderful. And on the way out we realized I
(Kat) may have forgotten my iPhone on the roof of our car. Ugh!

Tony said it wouldn't be there when we got back but I thought there
was a possibilty there are still some good people in this world.

When we got back to our car we found this. My iPhone wrapped in
napkins which were weighted down with rocks so people wouldn't see it
and want to steal it.

I don't know who you are but thank you. From the bottom of my
heart... You did a really nice thing for a stranger and it's not
unappreciated. Pay it forward starts today (again, of course).

Coincidence?

MGH Team leaders Kat & Tony have already had their 1st "coincidental"
experience for today.

Kat has been nudging Tony to go to The Henryton for a while this
morning. He finally called PRRS team leader, Jenny, to get the scoop
on the day's events. In a frustrated "tease" Tony said aloud "Kat
wants to go", inferring he didn't. Just as he said this something
started beeping in our hotel room. Our teen and I thought it was the
alarm clock at first. After listening closely (Tony was still on the
phone) we discovered the sound was coming from our Ghost Hunting gear-
box. When it was opened up we discovered the beeping was coming from
our GhostBox, which is a modified Radio Shack AM/FM Radio.

Coincidence? Possibly. Heck, maybe even "probably". However, in an
effort to stop the beeping and save the batteries we agreed to just
take the batteries out and flip them around. We could put them back
in later. So the first battery was removed. The radio remained
powered (not beeping, because we had pushed a button to stop that
already). We removed the 2nd battery. It still remained powered.
After removing all 3 batteries the radio stayed powered for almost 2
full minutes before the screen finally blanked out.

The initial beeping was, of course, incredibly coincidental given the
chain of circumstances.

MGH lunch break

We're heading out of Mass. But not before stopping for lunch. It
seems like the drive is taking an eternity today. I was thinking
about the lunar cycle. Looks like it's a near no-moon situation
today. I wonder if that will effect our investigation at all.

On a mission...

It's official, the Maine Ghost Hunters are on the road to Maryland.
Henryton Sanitorium has a story and we're stoked to be a part of the
team that gets to tell it. Investigation groups and teams from all
over the country are coming together to deliver the message The
Henryton has been disallowed to tell for too long.

Yeah, we're on a mission... A mission to deliver the message. They've
waited long enough.

Thermal

It's snowing a blustery mess outside. The interstate has reduced the
speed zone from 65 to 45... But we can't resist finding opportunity on
a day most people are staying home, and warm. There's and old
abandoned building on the outskirts of town that we've been itching to
take a look at and today seems like a better day than most, to do just
that. We're breaking in the some brand new studded snow tires for
this short journey and are hoping to capture some pictures to document
our little expedition.

Yup, today's a day for thermals if you're gonna be out and about. And
for us, it's a great day for a little urban exploration.
