DIfferent from the other trips!

Okay this was a FUN day. BUT, you really have to buy in to the ghost stories they write about to enjoy it. I did this with friends, and one of them didn't love it because she wanted to SEE and DO more. BUt for people who love a ghost story and some history, this is THE BEST. We didn't see any ghosts, but we got goosebumps a few times!
