Pretend I didn't show you the DDR Okay? HA! Now, Back To the Story! #1315623Brett Dolsen October 08, 2010
Great tones,crop and DD work Laura!!I only just noticed the person running down the hall with the knife or was that my imagination. #8954659Kirsten Kiki Kjaer October 08, 2010
I'm taking a small lunch break - I mean - a break from my sleep.Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010
Oh dear. I had hoped I didn't have to share any of the history of this Ghost Train with you but I see I must.Brett, Long long ago there was a murder. There was a knife. It is said this Ghost Roams The Train When It Gets Upset. Just stay VERY STILL if this entity gets close to you. It only attacks things that make sudden moves. #8954666
Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010
Oh Hi SSSKiki!!! it is SO GOD TO SEE YOU HERE! I was just heading to bed. but if you want to play some poker, sure! I'm game! Just no playing for MONEY or we much conjure up "The GAMBLER".Oh dear...Did I just disclose ANOTHER secret of this Ghost Train???
Hey!!!!!!!!!!!
Look what I just found on the floor! BRETT IS THIS WHAT YOU SAW???
Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010
(So "good"..not so "God"! Sorry SSSKiki! I am half asleep and need some serious rest! Type-o's are eminent! Try and read past them SSS!) #8954677Jeff Robinson October 08, 2010

Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010
Wow! This SOUL TRAIN just came to life!YES! I BELIEVE IN THE BOOGIE MAN!!! #8955286
Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010
Should we deal you all in? It IS better that we stick together!Hey....who just tapped on my shoulder???
I HOPE IT'S NOT THE GAMBLER!
I didn't notice the cob webs and bones in the corner before did YOU guys? #8955296
Monnie Ryan October 08, 2010
Definitely felt something whiz by my ear -- it sounded suspiciously like "be afraid, be VERY afraid..." And the journey continues! #8955318John Connolly October 08, 2010
It is good to be on our way at last! A nice job on the cabin steward Laura, and as Hoges would say "Now that's a knife"!!! #8955591Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna October 08, 2010
AWESOME DDR work on this spooky train, Laura! :-) k #8955790Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010
Monnie, I know I know. OTHERS have been reporting this too. Goo to see you two. I was just checking in the Office Cabin. We have NO ITINERARY! The passenger NAME LIST is not in order either. We are not even sure WHO is on board or NOT...Or should I say WHO or WHAT is on board? Well, so long as we have a FLASH LIGHT, I think we can ward any "evil" off? (With some help from Brett's GARLIC NECKLACES). CANDLES are NO GOOD. DO NOT LIGHT ANY CANDLES WHILE ON BOARD THIS TRAIN. CANDLES ATTRACT GHOSTS...Karen Kessler and I were just discussing this in the AFT Passenger cabin.Seems not many people are in their beds tonight. #8955794
Wm Nosal October 08, 2010
Well! So! Got Everyone's 6!Laura E. Swan October 08, 2010
Big Sis Pat Is One Wild DJ! HA! DISCO GHOST TRAIN!Thanks Wm! I think Dancing is just what we need!

Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010
Please don't tell me that that murderer's ghost is still roaming around on this train! Well, now I'll never be able to sleep! So, ... I might as well just DANCE the night away! It'll keep my mind off the evil spirits! LOL! Awesome image, Sis! :)Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
I'm with you, Sis!#8956593
Annette Carr October 09, 2010
Isn't that Elaine dancing? Omgosh that's scary enough! This music is so cool it blew all my fears away. Boogiemen can only haunt you when you're sleeping. I'm going to be dancing and playing poker tonight! #8956651Annette Carr October 09, 2010
Amazing DDR work ! #8956653Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
How funny! Dancing and Poker. The last two things I expected for a HAUNTED STEAM TRAIN! I love it!!!Okay...Who's Deal is it???
P.S. YES! Lol!!! That is Elaine!! Funny hey? Remember she can't dance AT ALL?
#8956673
Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010
I can bet that Lorna doesn't even see that "boogey" man dancing with her..don't tell her, though..she'll stop and be way too scared. He's moving right though her...scary!! #8956965Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010
I heard that Patti!!!!! #8957007Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
Hey Lorna! Check out the view finder on my camera.Humm.......

#8957147Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010
He seems to have a crush on you :) You might hurt his feelings if he knows you're scared. Let's just calmly walk to the dining car and see what's up with everyone. It'll be ok...don't be frightened.Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
Great Idea. Let's all go together. REAL NICE AND SLOW-LIKE...I am going to check on those Mysterious Ritzy Folks that showed up in the ORANGE AUTOMOBILE, too. We need to know more about them. Will you guys go snooping with me?#8957190
Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010
Only if both of you are holding my hands! #8957195Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010
Shhhh...let's go :) #8957198Annette Carr October 09, 2010
Wait for me I want to see the Ritzy Folks too. I'm tired from all this dancing. I scared Elaine off the floor :) #8957203Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
(Whispering now) Okay...Yes. Lets go.Quiet! These floor boards are CREAKY! Where is the music when we need it!
OH WAIT! IT IS STILL BLASTING! HA! GOOD!
(MY NEXT BP ENTRY WILL BE...WELL...YOU GUESS!)
I have a Shelton Key, but Dare we use it? What if they are IN THEIR ROOM?????? #8957207
Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010
Shhh, Laura, your bracelet is clanking....they'll hear us!! What's a Shelton key? #8957213Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
(Whispering) DAMN. Lol...Okay. A Skeleton Key...(Spelled right!) is a universal key. It will get us into all rooms.A Shelton Key is for letting the SHELTY dogs out for their walks. :)))))) And of course Shelty is spelled wrong, too. :)
(GOTTA BE MERCIFUL. I AM STRESSED! Lol!)
Off goes this bracelet!
I bought one for each person on board. Pick the one of your choice! #8957228
Patti Coblentz October 09, 2010
Nice, LaLa...thanks :) #8957233Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
My Pleasure. Now...where are those flashlights?NO CANDLES. DON'T FORGET. NO FIRE ON THIS RAIN OR TRIP! THE GHOSTS WILL COME OUT LIKE CRAZY!
Wm brought a SPECIAL firepower but it's a secret. It's not real fire...but his own recipe...In case he needs it. #8957235
Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
Oh...save me. TRAIN...Not RAIN....Time to clip my fingernails. That must be it. #8957237
Lorna Shutter October 09, 2010
Ooooh! I love those little bracelets! May I have the one with the black cat, Sis? :) #8957260Laura E. Swan October 09, 2010
Sure sweetie. That is why I bought them! I have lots! But Patti says they are noisy. Of course I had all of these on at once! HA! Here...take yours! #8957282Lorna Shutter October 10, 2010
Thanks, Sis! :) #8957579Patrick Rouzes October 10, 2010
Having a restless night. Something keeps sitting on the edge of my bed. Got up for a drink of water & it took me an hour to get to the kitchen. Something heavy jumped on my back & the weight of it kept me fom moving even one step.It was like a dream but I know I was awake. When my legs were about to give out from the weight it just quickly left .Went back to my room but the back of my neck still ice cold.Hope this does not happen to any of you. #8958005Annette Carr October 10, 2010
Oh that happened to me too. I was trying to follow Laura and I looked out the window and saw something that shocked me so bad I could not take another step forward . . . #8958050Laura E. Swan October 10, 2010
Paddy I am so sorry to hear this. Whatever you do, if someone from "THE Other Side" offers you a CHILL PILL, Don't ACCEPT IT!!! It's not for relaxation. They want your blood temperature to DROP to THEIR LEVEL, if you know what I mean?! Does it help to know the ghost sitting on your bed is a pretty girl? (See Bed and Trunk Image). Just don't leave your valuables laying around. She might take them!*
Annette, there is a BELL STRING you can pull in EVERY TRAIN CAR. If this happens again just pull it and Wm will come to your rescue! :D Okay???

Very Spookyfeeling this has. #8958495Patricia White November 09, 2010
I am not sure how you added all of the music but it great. All of the photos are telling a story to me. Ghosts actually live don't they. Every photo that you have here is spooky, eerie. I can not just pick one. So this for all of them. Great dd work. My Aunt had a ghost in her house of course this was a long time ago but she had one that actually made beds. My cousins can testify to this. I would like to find this ghost. Keep up the great dd work. One more thing , loved the dancing. #9023774Nancyj E. Hovey November 20, 2010
Yup, will say it one more time...C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S on the BEST Halloween Series 2010...
Laura E. Swan November 20, 2010
This was just one of MANY MANY fun and exciting threads this OCTOBER 2010!Sometime I'd like to go one page back in the gallery and start at the beginning of the story! READ EACH ENTRY again! It was really great and all the participation from other BP'ers really made the story come to life!
Thank you, all of you and nice to have you here Steve, Patricia and Mumj!
THANK YOU ALL AGAIN and Mumj, Thanks for making this series number one for OCTOBER 2010 tonight.
