Beautiful Blog Award

Thanks to the lovely Julie from Above the Norm for supporting and honoring my little blog with a Beautiful Blog Award. According to the rules, I have to name 15 of my top favorite new blogs that I enjoy reading. I don't like singling one blog out over others. If you're on my blogroll. you deserve a Beautiful Blog Award. You are all fantastic in my opinion.

Here are the BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER AWARD RULES:

1. Thank the person who gave you this award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic!

4. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award.

Now 7 things about myself:

1. I'm probably one of the few serious paranormal bloggers who has NEVER had a personal paranormal experience. I don't go looking for one. I figure if its going to happen it will. Although, if my mother keeps frequenting yard sales and craigslist, it may happen sooner rather than later. You never know.

2. I was born with a heart murmur, one of fifty case in the entire country at the time. I had surgery in Little Rock when I was like 2 or 3. Found out a few years ago, the doctor who performed my surgery committed suicide. Truly tragic.

3. My tiny little Texas school managed to get on the news twice during my grade school career. The first time was because of a chlorine leak. Happened in junior high and we got out of school for a week. The second time was thanks to some redneck kid and his dad. During homecoming spirit week, the kid wore a hat with the confederate flag on it. When the principal told him to take it off, he wouldn't. His father was called to the school and told his kid he could wear it. It escalated a bit from there.

4. I moved to Oklahoma about six or seven years ago. First time I've lived in a house without wheels in like ten years. One of my friends was a little overly impressed how nice our trailer house looked from the inside. I guess a lot of people don't realize that all trailers don't look like they belong in a landfill.

5. I've never flown on an airplane in my life. However, I have had the pleasure of riding on a Greyhound. Nine hours of hell. Won't ever do it again unless I absolutely have no other choice.

6. I was in the school band from 5th grade to 10th. Played the flute. Quit because I didn't like how the band directors were running the show. Plus I still feel like I was robbed out of a letterman jacket.

7. Has been to Disney World in Florida. Only spent a day there because my father seems to think you can experience all it has to offer in a single day. Left Florida with a second degree sunburn. Such a nice parting gift....

You are a truly rare breed to be into ghost hunting without a personal experience that spurred you on. That's pretty cool. I always get excited when I take someone hunting and they have their first experience. They're so excited and confused and scared and thrilled at the same time--then, they understand why we keep doing it, to reexperience that again and again.

Black Aggie

First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Horror Day. Later on tonight, you will have a chance to win 1,000 BlogMad credits. Keep checking for that. Now on to tonight's first story. Henry Adams hired American sculpture Augustus St. Gaudens to construct a memorial for his beloved wife, Marian "Clover" Adams who committed suicide after the death of her father. After four years, the piece was finished in 1891. It was never officially named, but it was mostly known as the "Adams Memorial" and later "Grief". Stories vary as to how it received that nickname. The statue was so fascinating that a sculpture named Eduard L.A. Pausch copied it. The statue would go to be named "Black Aggie". General Felix Agnus purchased the copy in 1905 to place at his family's tomb. Then had a monument and pedestal created that would closely match the setting of the Adams Memorial in Washington. No one knows exactly why he chose this statue. A year later,

Edna Collings Bridge

Edna Collings Bridge also known as Edna Collins Bridge was built in 1922 over Little Walnut Creek. It was the last covered bridge built in Putnam County, Indiana replacing a concrete bridge washed out in high waters. And it's believed to be haunted. The most common story is Edna Collins was a little girl who went swimming in Little Walnut Creek often as she lived nearby. Her parents would drop her off on their way to town. When they returned, they would honk the horn three times to let her know it was time to leave. One day, her parents followed their usual routine except this time Edna failed to respond. Upon searching the creek, she was found dead (allegedly by her father), having drown. Circumstances concerning her death unknown. Variations of this story has her mother following her in death. Grieving over lost of her child, her mother placed a noose around her neck and hung herself. Another piece has her father being the one who built the bridge and named it after his daugh

Lorelei Inn

In Green Bay, Wisconsin and looking for some good German food? Lorelei Inn may be the place for you. Built in 1926, this restaurant was named after a woman in Germanic folklore named Lorelei. She falsely accused of bewitching men but was soon pardoned. Unfortunately her victory would be short lived. She climbed a rock looking for her unfaithful lover, slipped and fell to her death. Lorelei Inn has only been owned by two families and doesn't have a seedy past. However, it is believed to be haunted by several spirits. Footsteps have been heard in the upstairs area. One of the spirits believed to haunting this restaurant is a former owner named Leonard Hack. He supposedly hangs out at his once favorite place, the bar. Many have felt his presence there as well as smelled cigarette smoke. He is also believed to visit the basement area where the office is located. Objects move around on their own, sometimes pots fall off hooks. The TV turns on by itself. There's also a haunted ta
