So I am at home watching Ghost Adventures. I love anything ghost oriented. I have had what I feel to be a few encounters in my life. Nothing quite like what inspired my EP, The Antique Ghost. My wife and I had an ongoing series of noises and odd noises going on in the house. The main sound we were hearing was a camera flash. A flash that sounded like an old antique flash bulb going off. We had visited a sort of strange house when we were looking to maybe buy a place. I never felt it was anything that followed me home from this place. I also had just returned from upstate NY. I had visited my Aunt Gerry and she had given me old Civil War era family tintype photos. I could not help but think how odd...I bring home old photos and we start hearing a camera flash going off at the foot of our bed. I also distinctly remember popping up fast form a deep sleep one night and feeling a cold air surround me. It felt familiar and not scary. It was not too long after this that I decided in my mind that it was the ghosts of blood. Relatives! I spoke in a soft voice one night asking them to no longer disrupt our sleep and the flash sounds never happened again. My wife and I were sort of freaked out but I knew then that these were spirits of family trying to say hello. I am an avid family tree guy and I am thrilled to know that they are around. Believe what you want. I think if it were just me experiencing this, people might think I am insane...and I am sure I am. lol. However, that's besides the point. My wife and I both experienced this for over a month in our home. It was not dream or drug induced. It was so very real. So I hope that this little story will give everyone a little more to grab onto with the songs. I have a series of experiences in my life that have been kind of cool that are in the whole...spirit realm...I may actually write a group of tunes about one story in particular. Anyhow...put this record on for Halloween...buy it for your friends...lol....happy haunting...
