HAUNTING HAUNTS

 HAUNTING HAUNTS

THIS afternoon at the Maple Ridge Library, 35 people gathered to enjoy a very interesting presentation about haunting stories and unanswered paranormal sitings in the region, and surrounding area.

Victoria Vancek and Gina Armstrong are sisters who have lived in our area for many years. Together they have always been intrigued by, and drawn into, the mystic of ghost stories and paranormal sitings. 

Since 2017 they have turned their fascination into a career and successful business. They research and investigate leads, and they educate and motivate people, through field trips, seminars, discussions, and their published works.

Unanswered questions intrigue and inspire them, and motivate them to investigate, elaborate, photograph and present their findings to the curious, the skeptical and the fascinated.

I just spent 90 minutes listening to their passionate and convincing tales and felt myself move from skeptical to fascinated, to the point that I may well join them on an actual field trip one day soon.

Whether real or imagined, some ghost and mysterious stories have carried on through the ages and others have remained unwritten and unanswered until now.  Yet others, more current, are still waiting to be found and shared. The tales can be eerie, odd, scary, funny and fascinating, questionable and plausible.

Whether real or imagined, completely false or factual, they all capture the imagination of the listener, awakening something within and causing them to yearn to know more.

This was an interesting, sometimes surreal experience making me wonder if the next creaking sound, odd hum, seemingly invisible image at the top of the staircase or chill will not be ignored, because quite possibly there may be something more to it after all! 

This was yet another enjoyable day in the journey called life!
