Quirky things make me happy.

This sign caught my eye when the Husband and I were in New Orleans, and it made me laugh. I knew the area had a reputation of being haunted, so I could appreciate this real estate agent’s sense of humor.

Our hotel claimed to be haunted, too. I don’t know if I would exactly agree, but there was a creepy vibe to it. Our room was at the end of the hallway and it looked like something right out of The Shining. The only thing missing was the freaky twins. I’m a late sleeper, so I would stay up and watch TV or read after the Husband went to sleep. About 1:00am, I would hear the sound of something rolling on the floor above us and then stomping, like someone was running really hard. After the first two nights, I mentioned this to the girl at the front desk and, after asking our room number, commented there was a conference room right above us so that might be the cause of the noise. But when I told her what time I heard them, she looked a little startled and said, “Well, there’s definitely no one using those rooms that late at night.”

So…haunted or not? 😉
