Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? This maxim became front and center when I recently ran across an article.
As my book was published years ago it begs the question nicely I think.
Thought I’d share the spooky fun.
Tis the season after all.
Passion for the Paranormal
The curious investigate.
As someone who’s visited numerous locations purported to be haunted I can appreciate the myriad of emotions guests of this haunted winery may experience.
- Those seeking an experience are hopeful if not hopeful and apprehensive about the prospect of actually seeing a ghost.
Will they scream? Run? Freak out?
- Those seeking to prove to all and sundry there’s no such thing as ghosts.
Everything has a logical explanation.
- Those possessing an abundance of compassion if not outright pity who are determined to take action.
They’ve seen it on TV. All they have to do is shout for the spirits to go to the light and they’ll set them free.
This last is particularly amusing because it suggests the spirits – if they are present – are somehow being held captive for the financial gain of those owning and/or managing the property/location.
I think there’s even been a movie made with that as a premise.
My take?
There’s a reason some spirits are referred to as tricker spirits.
Life Immitates Art
What I truly enjoyed about the article is the irony.
I used a haunted winery as a setting in my Psi Series book Her Sanctuary, drawing purely from imagination after touring various California wineries.
Years before hearing of this Kansas winery.
I wish everyone a a Happy Halloween and an entertaining spooky season.
