TAPS - Part II

So just wanted to give an update on what's been going on with Courtney and Casper the friendly ghost.

Though she has only been feeling cold spots and seeing things out of the corner of her eyes, there has been no appearance of an apparition. Which I'm sort of glad over, but at the same time disappointed -- and I think Courtney is too. The TAPS family team in Rockville, MD has determined that the two of them should get together for an interview. Though she was hesitant at first -- she didn't want anyone to think she was crazy -- I think I pushed her enough to feel comfortable with talking with a knowledgeable person. I don't believe they have set up a time to chat, but at least when they do Courtney can talk about her past experiences as well.

This kind of reminds me about Jim Butcher's last Dresden novel, Ghost Story. **SPOILER** Where Harry, who's now a ghost, has to track down the person who had him killed. In doing so he finds a guy that can talk to ghosts (Ghost Whisperer anyone?). Perhaps this ghost just needs someone to talk to them. Let them know it's okay to go into the light. While Harry did end up 'catching' his killer, the end result was not exactly what he was hoping for (dead or alive). **END SPOILER**

While I would love to do an investigation myself, do i have the courage to stir up the spirits that are possibly here? Do I want to face the consequences of what ghost hunting might do to me, or my family? While my brain says, "Yes! Go for it!" My subconscious is saying, "No, you know you'll only half ass it. And if you do go through with it, you won't want to face the consequences." So I'm kind of torn. I see shows like Ghost Hunters, Paranormal Witness, Paranormal State, and Ghost Adventures and I think, "man that would be so cool." Just to know that there's something beyond life. Though some would say its a curse, but at least I could have hope in the beyond.

So again, if there are any brave souls that want to tackle a ghost hunt with me, we should totally give it a try. All we need is a digital recorder and a video recorder or two and we'd be set. Any takers?

Changes

Que the cheesy music:

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strain)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

Hard to believe but with an encouraging word, I will be splitting my blog into two sections. 

The RPG side is now it's on entity, check it out: Rho Pi Gamma: Die Harder. This new portion will go into more detail about gaming, podcasts, and everything else rpg related. It's under construction for the moment, but I promise to have posts up soon!

For those of you who still wish to know about the other things happening, then the episodes will continue on.

You know, there's a book called Changes, it's by Jim Butcher. It's book 12 in a series called The Dresden Files. The story revolves around the only wizard detective in Chicago. So it's a detective novel, with elements of the supernatural and fantastical. You've got everything from vampires and werewolves to faeries and fallen angels. It's a great series if you're looking for something to read.
