The Weird Ones!

That’s what PoD and I have been called!

The Dodge Court House is being filmed sometime soon [not sure when] about it’s historical value. We have been asked by the Economical Development Officer whether we would like to be featured as the “spooky part” of the tour.

Of course I said yes…although I don’t like being in there much as we find it to be real creepy. This filming will be done in the daylight hours so it shouldn’t be too bad.

I am not too crazy about being on film as I’m sure we will come across as nuts. It is one thing to be classified by your friends as “nuts” [they’re allowed] but it’s another thing to be televised as one.

It is tiring having to defend what one has seen and felt in this place!

I always have to back-up my statements with the stories of the Mayor’s and a Judge’s experiences for them to attempt to even begin to believe us.

A reputable Circuit Judge had found himself locked in the Judge’s Chambers overnight and his experiences that night made him write a story [under a pen name] about what went on and how much it scared him. The character in the story is fictional and the town stated is different but it is still his experience!

As for the Mayor’s [he wasn’t the mayor at that time] experience he was part of a bet that involved someone staying in the courthouse overnight for money. It was something he said that he would never do again for any kind of money. This man still gets laughed at when he relates his story but doesn’t care…he KNOWS what he saw and is firm about it!

The Paranormal Group that stayed here twice got some really good footage and are working with the TV show called “Beyond” about featuring this court house in one of their documentaries. I’ll let you know more about that when it happens.

The creepiness of this place goes back way further than our participation…as the gossip has always been there about this place.

Some of the cleaning crews have heard singing and footsteps when no one else was in the building. Residents who live around the place have told about lights going off and on during early morning hours. So as for us being NUTS…I guess our town is full of them!

Will relate back to my fans on how it turns out…stay tuned
